It is a pleasure to be able to speak approv?
ingly of Mayor Hewitt's choice of men for tho
BBB Aqueduct Commission. Sound judgment
and devotion to the best intercuts of the
municipality arc shown in the appointments
which ho has made. Messrs. Tucker, Howe,
Duane and GfeoM are men of line character and
docided ability; from them an intelligent and ,
honest administration of the great trust now j
placed in their hands can confidently bc e\
ixvted. They are experienced in their call?
ings, ioo, and combined have a practical knowl?
edge of all the elements that are likely to enter
into their new duiie-s._
WABBA ABD THE TARIFF
Certain papers think they arc arguing on
the tariff question when they repeat that no
one can prove that protection increases wages, j
Then they observe, with all the solemnity of
an owl, that wages are always higher in new i
countries than in old. that they aro higher in *
England now than in Germany or France, and
that it is a fraudulent device of Protectionists
to attributo the admitted rise in wages in 1800
to the protective tariff. Tho only confusion
of mind about this matter is with these wi i
know least about work or wag-tv*. Work in*. -
men and employers both know that the policy
which encourages an increase in the number of
establishments, and consequently in the de?
mand for labor, necessarily helps to advanco
wages. But it is worth while to notice some
of tho current fallacies.
Wages were higher in Great Pri'tain, before
that country ceased to protect its industries,
tftan in Germany or Franco, before those coun?
tries began to protect. For forty years Great
Brittle hns been trying free trade, and for a
few years (.ermany and Franco havo been try?
ing protection. Tho consequence is that in
Germany and Franco wages aro now rising,
while in Great Britain a serious decline has
leen prevented only by the power of trade
BBBOCiotiOBO, which do nevertheless cut down
actual though not nominal wages, when they
compel many establishments and thousands of
men to be idle in order Ihat the rest may |el
BOme work at the old rates.
This country is comparatively new, true.
It was newer in 1800, when Democratic free
trade had its latest lest As a country geln
old, according to free-trado theories, woges
fall. As this country gets old the fact is ihat
wi gos riso; they aro 38 per cent higher, to say
th ? least, than they wero when the. Democratic
policy ceased to govern. The advance herc
has been in spite of tho most marvellous
migration of labor ever known in human his?
tory. Over 8.000.000 workers have come to
fihis country and yet wages have risen j some?
thing like half of them havo como from Croat
Britain( and jct wages there have risen com?
paratively not nt all.
The man who cannot understand facts such
as these may at least bo capable of compre?
hending that the eloeing of one mill out of
three in any town will tend to put down wages
theta. The men thrown ont of woik will seek'
it at the ethel mills, and if not in that town
then el'owl,' .e. Bo ihe stoppage oi thODBandfl
of mills, in consequence of thc PQBBBga ol 8
Democratic Tariff bill, would throw out of
woik a great army of workingmen. These
leonid seek work in other places, driving down
ivogefl there, for dire necessity would compel
thom to underbid somebody cl.se or to starve.
Bot where else, in what other occupalion, are,
these men lo find work? Not in farming, for
thousands of farm workers aro to be thrown
out of work; they are now required to taho
care of sheep, and wool-growing will be made
unprofitable by the same bill. Thousands
more are engaged in raising other products
wiiich.it would be unprofitable to raiso after
the Mills hill bad posted. New land, and more
wheat-growing ? Does not everybody know the!
the wheat market is so supplied already that
I rices run chino to tho cost of raising ami
I mnsporting '?' What else aro these men to do'.'
j L'ntil the free-trade theorists answer, they have
no business lo reiterate the Impudent pretence
j that the tariff has nothing to do with wages.
THE PABBBLL LIBBIE
Tho Parnell Commission is already discred?
ited by thc Home Itulers as a partisan court.
Two of tho three judges who will conduct the
imo.ligation aro described by thc Irish mem?
bers tva Conservatives and Ihe third as ,-i Union?
ist. Justice Day, moreover, has been char?
acterized by Mr. Labouchere and Mr. Morley
as ;i man strongly prejudiced against the Irish.
Tho retention of Justice Day has boen secured
by majorities rf HO and 13 iu two divisions
in which party lines have been sharply drawn.
The inoeetigetion, if it be finally sanctioned
by Parliament, will be a Consol vat ive project
supported by tho Unionist majority. Mr. Par?
nell denounces it in advance as an unjust
scheme, since under it the members of his party
aro to bo tried by a jury of threo political op?
ponents, ono of whom is predisposed to convict
an Irishman of any charge that may be made
again*! him. Tho verdict of such a jury is
not likely to be accepted as one that will bo
free from partisan bias. Indeed, it hardly
seems possible that the judges themselves will
consent lo serve on the commission when the
impartiality of tho tribunal is questioned by
the Opposition.
An investigation of charges against thc char?
acter of legislators is Invariably regarded as a
question of personal privilege. The ordinary
usage involves the appointment of a legislative
cominittec, armed with power to examine wit?
nesses and to secure documentary evidence.
Tho majority of this committee may be po?
litical opponents of tho accused, but there ia
a minority fully capable of protecting the rights
of those whose conduct is to be reviewed.
There is no precedent either in tho English
archives of constitutional government or in
tho legislative records of other eoiintrio? for
tho substitution of tire/- fudges for ..committee
in g ease Of this kind. For this reason there
will probably be little regret in any quarter
if tho expedient be eventually discarded. Cer?
tainly tho Unionists will derive no permanent.
advantage from ail investigation conducted by
judges who have been named by themselves
him! are believed by the Irish members to Le
deeply prejudiced against them. The verdict
of such I commission will not promote tho ends
of impartial justice.
If the cimiulssion 1)0 abandoned there will
be loud outcries in England for a libel mit
against "Tho London Times.'* Mr. Parnell
may consider it ox|K*dient to accede lo tho
I'liioiust clamors and to have recourse lo th*
'?< irts jn preference to accepting the Iodide!
tribunal proposed by the (iovernment. If he
havo irrefutable evidence that his 00008018
have been traflkking in forgeries Ik* may ehtOBB
the regular legal tribunals, since there by his
own pleadings he can limit tho scope of th"
.inquiry lo tho letters, whereas the Government
tribunal will be a roving commission unre?
stricted in its scope. His enemies havo [ic,'-n
challeiiKinji bini to do this ever ginee the " Par?
nell!, in aod Ci j ino" series appeared. It may
bo the wisest 000101 for him in tho end, es?
pecially if he be convinced Ihat he cannot look
for Impartial justice from thc commission.
REASON A ELI Ri OULA T10SS.
The issue between the public and tho so
called bobtail cars cannot bo settled by the
decision of a lower court that tho corpoia'.ions
have a right to adopt reasonable rOgU.OtioaB. Ia
this case a passenger having refused to put his
faro in the bc. was arrested BB*} fined by a
Police Justice on the. ground of a Q 00)01 al
?ms ruling to thc ahovo effect. Of course
this leaves open the central question, which i-,
what constitutes leosonoblo regulations? Tho
public, hold that it is net reasonable to maka
regulation! which compel them to do the work
of corporations fm- no other purposo than to
increase) the profits of the latter. Th" service)
rendered is l.;nl enough without this whollv
unnecessary imposition. No corporation can
have the right to create rules which involve
annoyance and discomfort to Hie public. The
rulo that the passenger must put his fare in
tho box b.is this effect. Tho annoyance it
causes is moreover aggravated by the lawless
prootiee of crowding the cars without the 1- i
regard to their proper holding capacity. This
crowding besides often makes it impossible
for the passenger to approach thc box. Ho
must then ask some other passenger to pass np
his fare and put it in tho box, and so when a
car ia full half a dozen or moro passengers
may bo called upon to pass fares from one to
another, thus doing tho work of a conductor
without pgy.
Nothing more strikingly illustrates the au?
dacity of transportation agents and thc Ions
suffering meekness of the public than the fact
that this impudent imposition has been tol?
erated so long. We do not believe thorn can
be ? doubt as to the reversal of the preposler- !
ons decision relied on by Justice Ford in Ihe
Downs eas", if it is appealed and properly
represented. For the unreasonableness of tho
regulation in question is sooppurent bs scarcely j
tn Justify argument. It is a regulation which
may at any time, and very often does, compel
the passenger to loee his seat, fir he has to
leave it in order to go to the box, and thc mo?
ment it is vacant somebody is sure to take it.
It is ns unreasonable a regulation as would be :
one on railroad trains to the effect tliat every
passenger must hunt np the oonduetor and
show or "ive up bia ticket. It is utterly 1111
bU-daeaslikO and unpractical, and there, is no
possible reason for it but the on" which proves
its Illegality, namely, tho greed of th" cor?
porations, who save themselves the expense
of conductors by forcing the public, to do their
work gratuitously. If is to be hoped thai the
Downs case will be promptly appealed, 'rho*
people cannot afford to .it down quietly under
tho bobtail car system. It has been proved
dangerous to life, and it- ls ni torionsly prolific
of inconvenience and discomforts to its pa?
tron* If these ears cannot be run al a profil
under proper methods there is no Justification
for running them ol all; but nobody doubts
that they are paying concerns, or thai the only
question is as to the rapacity of those who
own them, c

nil. H.il lo REST.
Homerton argea his readers to let their lives
be like the summer wind, which has times of
noble energy and times of perfect pcaco. There
is a suggestion boto for thc tens of thousands
to whom the month of August brings a brief
respite from the turmoil of the city. The rest
of the year witnesses their moro or less noble
energy, and tho midsummer holidays ought to
be, to a great majority of them, a timo of per?
fect peace. Men who have the leisure and the
inclination to keep themselves in some sort of
training all tho time may lind their greatest
pleasure and benefit in thc hart) labor of long
walka and bicycle trips, in persistent tennis, or
nmid the exactions and exposures Of camp-life.
But thc clerk and the professional man who
depart for rural 800008 with soft muscles and

recuperative value of perfect peace. The mari
who is recognised as a magnificent worker In
town can well afford to be a magnificent loafer
ia tho country.
A nd hss essential and perhaps an e\en
