ave Sh Moanin te SemEL Mot Bo Park Row, New York. Entered at the Post-Oftice at New York as Second-Class Mall Matter, NO. 18,783, It ts in its recommendation of a radical revision of law governing steamboat inspection and its sugges- of a more substantial construction of excursion! that the main importance of the Federal commis- f 's report on the Siocum horror will lie, Findings of, Meompotency and noglect of duty in inspection boards Tike lost their imerediate interest through iteration, though it is well to have the self-administered coat of gba removed from the local board. But it is what the commission may advise regarding changes in the law to meet the requirements of the ser- ‘Vice and what it has to gay about tinder-box construc- ‘Hon and filmsy superstructure that will be of vital con- : The disaster revealed a lack of central authority Anterfore with the action or reverse the decisions wf tors of whose integrity there might be doubt, and| a Jaaity of regpongibility which there is neod Rew. legislation to correct. It showed that where requirements of Government inspection had been| iy complied with as to hull, boilers, fire hore and there yet remained risks from inflam-| woodwork and insecure upper decks, of which the; nt regulations take no account. _ In recommending legislation to cover the defects of present law and in demanding that on excursion! ‘larger use be made of fireproof material both vessels yet to be constructed and in others now in| ssion, the Federal investigation will satisfy the! tations of the public as no other inquiry has done, Incléont of Broadway Travel.—The latest instanc> puree & blown-out fuse, occurring in a crowded section of ‘Dreadway, was responsible for a fire alarm, 9 runaway, i & panic among the passengers and the partial burning of the damaged car, With the protective uses of the fuse the public is now well acquainted. But must Its pro- fective influence be exerted at the peril of life and limb andowith the sensational consequences which follow every blow-out” The fact that no ambulance was summoned } Andwates in this case a decrease of nazcris of which a Bote should be made. SALARIES OF CITY EMPLOYEES, | There ts a refreshing (rankness about the remarks it Fornec on the size of city exlaries which p them agreeable reading.

As for Mr, Fornes’s own salary, the public will not it as excessive while he continues to resist the wv the office-ho!ders on the city treasury, "BE GOOD" BY SUGGESTION. ‘Wreathos worry (s upon the brows of the gentls mem- of the Mothers’ Club.

A theory of intended treatment by im must refute itself. To administer “laughing gas" ‘Would be to turn the process of making good into on F for mirthlers levity. Since, then, not epecula- oh about the hypnotic drugs, it is clearly the or’s place to come forward with explanations an‘, needed, diagrams. | Perhaps he can really convince some tender mother there is more virtue in suggestion than in the ma- aiipper.

But ff it, or anything else, would accomplish the reformatory results| claimed for it, it Is certainly worth + knowing about, It would seem, however, that there ought to be successful ways of manag- ing children without the ald of a doc- tor's prescription and a druggist's pea- tle. And the suggestion is mainly valu- able for the possibility of its applica- tion to undisciplined men, who, we are assured somewhere, are but children of a larger growth. To administer an insidious even though morally benefielal compound to @ poor little kid. who will insist on sail-) ing boats in the bathtub every time gets on a new duck sult savors de- oldediy of cruelty. But the same mid corrective adm@nistered to a “sporty” husband with the habit of sauntering home at 2 AM. would find Greater | Justification. It would add a new ter- ror to the “morning after” if besides brandy and soda and unlimited ice wa- ter, the culprit husband were to enter- tain the wholesome fear that a “hyp- notice drug’ was getting in Ks subtle) influence as well, and that as soon as | his mind reached a properly receptive | state he would be obliged to listen to a wifely lecture that would really have some effect. ‘There is a great deal too much said and written about the bringing up of children, and scarcely any one would claim that all the lectures on ML gate bo responsibility,” moral sdasion, have made the average young Prva of this generation any better than his prototype of a hundred years ago. And | children are pretty nice, on the whole, anyway, But what all women attempt Individually—that is the bringing up of a husband—they have ‘never tackled systematically and collectively. The organization of mothers’ clubs, &c., have given a great many married wom- en something to do and furnished more elderly spinsters with honorable offices | as presidents, viex-presidents and heads of committees. But there ts a vast feld | for reform in the husband proposition | which organized clubdom has not yet explored.
