Hkp HOW TO SO IT.
Vff A Washington journal suggests that it
Rp? would be useful to collate the suggestions
Et lhathave beenofforcd by persons of recog
Rf sized capacity and experience regarding the
H disposition to be made of the surplus moneys
BBM is the Treasury for the consideration of Con
B stress.
H4y Tho surplus tinkerers are probably more
Hbt aumetous even than the charter tinker--Hv
en of this State. Their number is legion
HgT and their suggestions embrace all sorts of
HV nostrums for tho cure of tho evil of a pleth
Kfr ora of idle money in the Government
Bp vaults.
Hp( But would it not bo unwise to crowd their
Kf Botlons on Congress whon the solution of
B,V: tne difficulty con bo found in two sentences ?
R J Pay our dobts with the money wo have got)
UKt that will dispose of the present surplus.
Vi Take off every dollar of taxation not noedod
K$- to raise the sum required for the honest
K,,t wpemSof the Government; that will prevent
HL the accumulation of any mischievous surplus

E The admirers of the national gamo will
Htf watch with absorbing interest tho contest
JHbl Brooklyn to-day between the champions
K ' Of the League and the champions of the
Bt Association. Greek meets Greek in those
B games. Diamond cuts diamond.
B, r The, series for the world's championship
Hk thus far bos been most superbly contested.
K The country has never witnessed better base
E&, boll than in the four games already played in
Hu: tho West. Tho scoro stands at present three
B& to one in favor of Detroit But the sories is
IR1 nbtf half played, and the games havo boon
Hf) won by exceedingly narrow margins. Tho
Kv Browns yet have an excellent ohanco to carry
Bh off the pennant of victory.
Bf, Though the metropolis has never posscssod
B.r 'h championship, this fact does not mated
HK ally lesson her interest. New York is too
B& big for petty dlsgruntlement and local jeal
BM iaiy.. She will watch the contest of tho
B gladiators of tho diamond to Jay with
Hr enthusiasm born of a broad-gauged lovo of a
Hh& noble sport.

Hpfwero so suddenly turned out of houso and
Hk Lome because tho building was condomnod
HM 'as unsafe, ere indignant at the treatment they
B received and talk of suing the New York life

K? The Building law gives on owner of an un.
Kr safe building only until 1 p. v. on tho day
H following the notification of its condition to
Hl commence its repair or removal.
H. K the insurant company people knew of
Kjr tho condition of the building when they
BJ rented the apartifents' they might properly
HE' be held answerable in damages. But if they
ffit only learned of the danger whon they or-HMg-
dered the building cleared, their prompthoss
Ht;:( was commendable, and it is questionable
E 'whether any court would condemn them in
Hs damages for an anxiety to provent the loss of

Hf. The Boston and Maine Boilroad bill, with a
Hkj strong taint of corruption, paused the New
Hk$ Hampshire Legislature yesterday. This is
H only one of many steps in the aggrandizing
Rfjv schemes of said corporation.
H&C Time was when the railroads of Now
B England formed a sort of democracy. They
Eg' were admirably managed, and thero was a
H healthy degree of competition. But a decided
Kgk change has passed of lato over tho aspect of
HT affairs. It is a great game now between the
K& Boston and Maine, the Boston and Albany
B&- nd the Old Colony companies. Competing
Kjt Hues have been gobbled up and independent
B branches and connections absorbed in all
Hi1, directions. In several of the States the cor
NkL porntions virtually own the Legislature.
K, New England is getting n taste of railroad
s monopoly, and she does not like the flavor.
K. AT IT AGAIN,
KgC The persistent advocates of woman suffrage
K- are determined not to lose a chanco of push
Ef''.f iug their cause. Several of them went to
K the places of registration Tuesday and de-9P-
zt&nded that their names be placed on the
H$ list of voters. Bome-of these aspirants to the
Ho honor of "voting wcra young and attractive.
H$ utthehspectorswere obdurate.
Hj' " Am I a convict or a felon ?" asked one
K4 fair suffragist. The reply was, of course, a
Hsf negative. "Am I an American citizen?"
Kjk- The reply was affirmative. But tho request
Hp for registration' that followed was denied.
Bi'' Yet there are some sound lawyers who hold
HfVv that there is nothing in the Constitution that
Kfat denies an American citizen the right to vote
ssVwF1 e Broun' ' MZ' ni1 there are good

AFBAID OP THE LIQHT.
A prominent refiner said this morning that
undue publicity had embarrassed tho plans
of the proposed gigantic sugar trust.
This is a bit of unconscious confession. Of
course tho scheme will work hotter in tho
dark. That is n characteristic of tho monop
olistic spocies.
But legitimate business prospers by pub
licity. Healthy plants flourish in tho sun.
It's a pity that the light was not turnod on
early enough to blight the scheme
THE LATE8T PAEIB SENSATION,
Tho arrest of Gen. Bodlanoeh complicates
tho situation in France. Ho apparently
avails himself of every opportunity to pro
voke tho hostility of the Government. Ho
takes advantago of tho CAirxncL scandal to
boost himself again into tho rango of the
public eye. His crltioism of Gen. FxnaoN,
the Minister of War, was cortoinly unprece
dented and a breach of military discipline.
But fro 'will gladly poso as a martyr. The
rabid eltynont of Paris is inspired by such
spectacles
As to Gen. Cawaiiel, condemnation and
puuishmont for his dishonorable traffio in tho
decorations of the Legion of Honor havocomo
swift and sovore. Ho is disgraced forovor.
Ho will be forcod into permanent exilo.
Tho scandal is certainly most discreditable
to tho War Department of Franco. But tho
promptness of the investigation and the
celerity of tho prosocution is commondablo.
Such vigorous moasurcB against corruption
aro worthy of imitation.
Meanwhilo, tho Germans aro enjoying tho
sensation quite as much as the Parisians.
TBINIxTB IMPORTED BEOTOB.
The doughty Mr. Kknnxdt, President of
tho St. Andrew's Socioty, avows that ho will
noverrest content until ho upsets the law
prohibiting tho importation of contract labor.
A poor Scotsman recently came under the
law, and was duly shippod back to the land
of mist and heath or. Mr. Kknxedy. thinks
that tho law equally applies to tho Bov. E.
Wallpolb Wabben, the importod rector of
Trinity Church.
The matter sooms to 'turn on whether tho
pastor is ailaborer. Now, it tho Bov. E.
Wallpole Warren is a good rootor, he is cor
tainly a laborer with on abundance of work
to do. Among other things he should labor
to roform tho harsh method of treating poor
tenants sometimes adopted by the agoutsof
tho Trinity corporation. But if he is not a
laborer, then he is a man of lelsuro, and not
a good rector. Mr, Kennedy seoms to have
clinched his argument on both sides.
A suit will be brought againBt tho Trinity
Corporation, and the penalty of $1,000 will
probably have to be paid. At all events, it
will do no harm to disoourage the importa
tion of clergymen. We have plenty of good
material of our own.
The Ohio Democrats cry for Gov. Hill.
But why? Tlioy olooted Gov. Hoadlt by
13,029 plurality and n clear majority over all

1884. They ought to win easily in tho year
before tho Presidential oloction of 1888 with
an Administration platform and tho Federal
patronago to help them.
Mr. BiiEViTcu nays that tho ProgroBsivo
Labor party thinks ef advertising for six
smart young lawyer to toko its judicial
nominations. The membership of tho party
has probably been exhausted on tho other
section of the ticket.

From tht Botto IliralJ,
The new Evenino World of New York City con
talna a large amount of entertaining news, pre
sented In a highly attractive manner. Until qulto
recently the evenlug field has been one which New
York Journalists havo looked upon as hardly worth
cultivating ; that Is to say, the great newspapers
have been all murnlng papers, and the newspapers
Issued In the afternoon have had but a relatively
Btnall circulation. The enormous circulation In
stantly gained by the World may bo due to the
fact that previous efforts by New York Journalists
to build up the circulation of an evening paper
have not been properly directed, and that thero la
an Immense field there that has been for a long
timo waiting tor the proper cultivator.
From Tv'day't II Frogrttto Itato-Amtritano.
When Mr. Joseph Pulitzer prupnetor aud editor
of The World on the 10th of May, lShg, bought
that Journal from William 11. Hurlbcrt, as
a representative of a society of capi
talists, Us circulation only reached 87,S3 copies.
From 1S83 to 1BST (that la lu four years and a few
months) tho 8I,S3 copies had grown with marvel
ous and amazing geometrical progression to S10.OOO
of a dally edition, not to mention the special Sun
day edition, which reachca 110,000.
Many causes contributed to this success the
lightning-like quickness Ingathering news, brill
iant reporting of events, telegrams, an extraor
dinary quantity of reading matter, battles
fought In the name of the people and
of publlo morula atfainst Aldermeu, the
kings of Uuante, butlneaa, Ac. all
of which battlea were won, the culprits for the
moat part landing In Sing Sing; good business,
management, and the constant aspiration gained
and maintained, to serve and battle for the people
with earnest sincerity. And all this la
owing to the tact, Bhrcwducss and daring
enterprise of Mr. Pulitzer, whose Iron will trans
fuses Itself into every part of his gigantic enter
prlae, from the managing editor to the omcc-boy,
all of whom are most liberally paid, but at the
same time subjected to military discipline. In
short, Tub World la a financial and political
power such aa has rarely been known In Journal
ism, And now Mr. Pulitzer, not satisfied with the
morning World, has Issued au Evenino World,
which, judging from U success on the first day,
will without effort be a worthy offspring of the
morning edition, and will easily eclipse its evening
contemporaries. The first number appeared on
Monday and reached a circulation of 111,110
copies.
The history of Journalism, of human, labor and
enterprise records few such names as that of Mr.

Tho Castlo Gordon Committeo of the Emi

tho Hotel Ruth, at 18 Greenwich street, ap
peared before tho Commissioners and in a
vory pathctlo manner implored them
to Temovo the embargo which they
four weeks ago placed upon her house.
Vainly she has tried during all these weeks
to have her difficulties with the Commission
ers settled amicably, but at last, seeiug that
her business and livlihood wore being mali
ciously tor away from her, slio humiliated
herself and made her appeal in person to tho
Commissioners. They, howover, remained
obstinate, and rofusod to rescind their
order denying her agent admission to Castlo
Garden.
Four weeks ago two Arabs arrived at Castlo
Gordon. Thoy woro destinod for Omaha,
Neb., and not having sufficient money to nay
their railroad faro over tho pool lines, they
wore cast nsido by this grasping and illegal
combination which holds Bway over Castle
Garden. Tho runner who solicits hoarders for
the Ruth saw them and persuaded them to go to
his houso, agreeing to obtain them tickets for
Omaha outside the Garden considerably loss
less than asked for by tho pool. The man
agreed, and, after paying Barnoy'Biglin's ex
press agont 90 cents to take thrco buudles to
tho hotel, they loft tho Gardon in company
with tho runner. The following day the
runner took tho Arabs to tho office of the Old
Dominion Railroad, on Bowling Green, and
obtained their tickets to Omaha for $23.75
each. Tho rato chargod by tho pool in
tho Garden is $20, a saving to
the immigrants of $2.25. This

not within the pool is objected to by tho
Commissioners. Tho runner, of course, re
ceives a commission from tho company, but
notwithstanding that in many cnseB it is a
decided saving to tho immigrants tho Com
missioners deem it a pernicious practice.
All the power of their machine-aided Agent
Doane, is brought to bear to make an ox.
ample of any one daring to purchase a ticket
for an immigrant anywhere but at Castle
Garden.
When the two Arabs returned to the
Garden, preparatory to going West, an old
missionary in tho Garden, who makes a prac
tice of booking all the Arabians who como to
this country, got them to complain to the
Commissioners about tho runner of tho Ruth
booking them on " outside " agencies. He
nlitn nllpund that thn rtinnor rnnreHented that
ho was from a hotel with which he had no
connection. The Arabs had no complaint to
make about thoir treatment. They wero not
ill-treated or defrauded out of any money,
but were treated in a kind and humane
manner.
On this complaint tho runner was banished
from the Garden, for booking passengers on
outside n"encies. Tho Commissioners were
not co' to ' "'h thiB punishment, but
took a ay tho boar 'tr-house licenso from
Mrs. d ssor," for on act of indisorotion on the
part of i.v. t ntati o, for which, proba
bly, she wns not ..voimtablo. Binco then
the woman has tried to have her privileges
restored, but tho vindictive Commissioners
remained obstinate and refused to listen to
her appeal.
At last, seeing that no redress could be
galnod from tho Commissioners, she to-day
appealed to an Evenino World reporter to
give ventilation to the manner in which she
is boing persecuted, which Bhe considers is a
gross outrage.
"For over thirty-five years," she said,
" tho Hotel Ruth has been doing business in
Castle Garden. My father, whoiB now dead,
formerly was tho proprietor. Ho always en
deavored to act Justly with all immigrants who
came to our house, and it is my aim to follow
in, his footsteps. We have never been ac
cused of acting unjustly to any person, and I
do not think the Commissioners of Emigra
tion ever received a word of complaint from
any immigrant who has come to our house.
Since our expulsion my business has fallen
away to olmost nothing, and unless the Com
missioners relent I am at a loss to know what
I shall do. I desiro no sympathy, but only
that my caso bo treated in a fair and inipatial
manner."
Armed with tho poor woman's story of her
treatment. The Evenino Would reportor
called upon Commissioner Hauselt, whoso
sympathies are always with tho poor and op
prossod, and asked him why the woman's
licenso was taken away. Ho said: "Soma of
the Commissioners deem it a crimo for a
runner of a bonrding-houso to book immi
grants on agencies outside of Castle Garden.
This man haB been accused of this, and in
cousequouco has been denied admission
to tho Gardon. This is, as far as
I know tho only complaint mado against the
man. Tho Iioubo which ho represents has
nhvuys been a thoroughly reliable one. and
immigrant s going there have always been
t routed kindly and humanely. I have not
suspended the man, and she will have to
submit her case to tho Commissioners beforo
anvthiug cau bo dono in the matter. This
will all require some time.

CHILTS LITTLE GRAB-GAME.
Trying to Get Hold of the Itett or Inoffensive
Peru.
The steamer City of Pueblo, just in from
Panama, has landed a Bmall army of South
and Central Americans in New York. Mr.
M. O'Dwyer, of Rio Cuarto, in tho Argentine
Republic, comes from a country about which
tho nverogo New Yorker knows little, but
in which, if ho only knew it, he
has a deep interest. Large quantities
of fluid extract of beof are shipped hero
by Mr. O'Dwyor's neighbors on tho pampas,
or great plains, which stretch towards the
Cordilleras from the wonderful city of Buenos
Ayres. Toxans ship their beef fresh-killed,
and the South American cowboys and ranch
ers, who have Rio Cuarto for their headquar
ters, hope some day to compete in that way
in the metropolitan meat markets of the
world. But just now they can only export
the concentrated extract, hoofs, horns, hides
and tallow of the countless herds on their
great ranges.
Rio Cuarto is 200 miles from Buenos Ayres,
the capital and seaport. The people there
take a lively interest in the peril of their
neighbors, the Peruvians, at the hands of the
Chilians. They think it natural for Peru's
cause to find friends in New York. Chili,
they say, is undoubtedly trying to absorb
Peru, having already gotten a big slice off
her southern territory and all of Bolivia's
coast-line. But the Argentine Republicans
don't think the rest of tho civilized world is
going to acquiesce in Chili's grab-game.
