TORY DEMOCRACY.
?-JR. CHAMBERLAIN'S REDEMPTION* OF
ONE OF HIS PLEDGES?INSURANCE
AGAINST ACCIDENTS AS A
TRADE CHARGE.
London. May 4.
Tho Unionist loaders in the last general elec?
tions had a social -programme, nnd It was a
radical ana. Mr. Chamberlain, who is the
?apostle ol Tory Democracy In succession to
Lord Randolph Churchill, proposed It. and it
was supported by Mr. Arthur Balfoar. it In?
el;; a i ft comprehensive scheme of employers'
liabilities for occident??, taglslatloa for enabling
workmen and agricultural laborers to purohas??
their hOtnee, and ]>enslons f.ir old ftR<*. Until
las: nlghl nothing has been done to redeem any
m pledges. Mr. Chamberlain has i?een
I !,? : to support various measures for the re?
lief of denominational schools and landlords,
and t i stare out of countenance the prim ghost
forrmer Radical self. A re**/grd for this
i maalng and dispiriting exercise came last
i, -!.i when the Employers' Liability bill was in?
trroduced, Ti-.e reproachful glance of ?that per?
il und l lises ghost was not to be dreaded
and Mr. Chamberlain was at ease and trium?
phant.
The bill was introduced by the Home Secre?
tary. Sir Matthew White Ridley, ona of the
?t-maonered and least aggressive members
of i he Government. With a placid, amiable
fUCS and with an agreeable, conversational
Style? he dtecharg<ed his functions as the nominal
author of the meaaure. He opened with a criti?
cal review of the Liberal proposals of 1S?4, and
a. well-digested exposition of the complex Ger?
man system of workmen's Insurance, nnd finally
sxptalned ths principles and applications of the
Government measure. It was neither a great
nor even a clear speech. It left tho House in
the dark respecting the scope and practical
operation of the measure. He was exposed at
once to a hot fire of questions from Mr. ASQUlth?
Sir Charles DUhe and other critics, and the
House waa confused by explanations which
lacked th?* essential dement of lucidity. It was
not until Mr. Chamberlain, the [responsible
leader of the Tory Democrat y, took the floor
and answered Inquiries and objections that un?
certainty was dispelled, and the real motives
and precise hearings Of the measure were dis
eloeed. In ?reality It is his ?hill, and It is a sin?
cere and honest attempt to redeem, at least ten?
tatively, one of the most Important pledges of
th? Unionist party?
A LIMITED APPLICATION ONLY.
The bill involves a limited application of a
general principle In dealing with ?workmen's ac?
cidents. The principle Is compensation for in?
dustrial accidents, without reference to cruise or
contributory nefrllpence. The limitations re?
late first to the scale of compensation, which is
a low one, especially for death from accident,
and. secondly, to the trades and occupations
which are dealt with, household servants, agri?
cultural labours, sailors, longshoremen, car?
penters, masons, bricklayers and other targe
classes of workmen being excluded from the
benefits of the system. Within the included
trades compensation will be provided for on the
following scale: 1. For death, three years' wages,
not less than |700 and not more than fl.SOO.
'2. Y r disability, permanent or otherwise be?
yond two wcrks, DO per cent of WSges not ex?
ceeding ?.*>. This compensation Is to be obtained
without legal expense. It will either be settled
by agreement between employer nn?i workman,
or by arbitration, or by the County Court Judge
In the last resort, the costs of adjudication Ix Ing
met by the State.
The Liberal Government's Employers' Liabili?
ty bill was taken In hand by a grand committee
lecrulted from nil sections of the commons, and
was passed after every clause and line had been
d? bated In the report stage. The Lords amended
It by Incorporating in It the principle of "con?
tracting out," or enabling employers and em?
ployed to agree upon their own terms. This
amendment the Gladstone Government was un?
willing to accept, and the measure was aban?
doned after It had been wrecked In the upper
house. That bill aimed to secure the unre?
stricted application Of a limited principle of lia?
bility to all trad? s and occupations. It held em?
ployers responsible for accidents due to their own
. nee, but excluded those occurring after
i,?]? 'i'iate safeguards had been provided. All
classes of workmen were Included? and the teud
? ;.? y i f the meaaure ?would have been to multi?
ply precautions for safety; but the principle of
compensation was- a limited one which could not
have been applied to 8 huge proportion of acci?
dents, it was a measure which would have pro?
moted litigation over the vital question of negli?
gence, and was contemptuously described last
night by Mr. Chamberlain as a Lawyers' Em?
ployment bill.
TI1K CNIOKIST PRINCIPLE.
The Unionist Government has a?b,pted the
principle of universa] compensation. Whether
th?' workman is Injured or killed through his, own
fault or through the negligence of his employer,
there is a financial payment to be made to him
or to his heirs, and this Is not to be attended
with legal expenses. Compensation is arranged
on a simpi" snd definite plan, and litigation Is
avoided. The fact of the injury establishes the
claim for compensa'.ion without reference to the
circumstances in which the accident occurred, or
to the employer's responsibility for it. c< n
tracting oui le all?.wed In eases where the terms
offered to the workmen are better than those pro?
vided by taw. ?Otherwise an effective and Inex
? naive method of eecurlng compenaatlon i?>r all
accidente In certain trades is eecured by law.
The principle Is universal, but the application of
it is reatti? t? d to a definite number of Industrial
trades and o< upatlohs. Within these trades only
12 per ??ut of aceldi nts ar?- now covered by the
common taw. This bill will have, according t?j
Mr. Chamberlain, unrestricted application to the
remaining ?**?** per cent The trades snd occupa?
tions not Included In lis operation will remain
as at present under the common taw.
While restrictioi ? upon the application of the
bill narrow its ecope materially, a new ?principie,
which has never before i??-?-n recognised In British
.non, has b' en Introduc? d. Thi:; Is the Id? ?
that compensation for accidents Is s burden
which employers ought t?. carry si a trade
Under the universal Insurance system
In Germany, employers are required to Insure
their workmen,clerks and servants agalnal ac?
cident. ?Under the provisions of this bill thoss
employed In the service of railways, factorisa,
quarries and engineering works will b
i by their employers against accident. The
?bin.a:: system goes much further, compelling
employer! to contribute weekly to Insurance
funds against sickness, chronic Invalidiam und
lncapscity In old an?', portions of the wages oi
those employed by them being reserved for the
name puib". . The Employers' Liability bill is
?<? small mi . ? ? In comparison with thai vast
and i amples Insurance system, root ntlally so dal
isti,; in idea, which has been Introduced In Oer?
msny; but it is tt,.- first step in the .?-ame direc?
tion, and a long one.
The principle Iscleariy explained by Mr. Cham
:.. Railroad corporations, mine-owners,
manufacturers, quarry-owners and other clsasee
of employers specifically Included In the bill ari?
to be held responsible for all Injuries to those
in their servi?,.. They create risks for work?
men and must bear the burden of compensa?
tion for all inJuri.,- it ?K a tre le ? barge bearing
directly upon profits, and must be mel without
reference t.. the question of contributory negll
%et or employers' responsihiiii The work
men In those trade, ar? virtually insurer! against
accident and entitled to a fixed schedule of
? ?.. mention simply because they suffer in?
jury. Th.- employer is liable in any evenl _i
though t!i?- fault it.?'?1, nol be his own; i??it if"
there has been gross neglect of safeguards on
his part, the workman Is not constrained to ae
? | ? the low rates ??f compenaatlon, bul may
Institute a suit under the sel n? m in force for
heavy penaltlea. Th" ? mployer crean s .? general
ri?*k for accident, ;?:.<] Is held responsible for
it, although the workman himself may have
been criminally careless. If he neglecti any Im
portant safesuard with serious roulis, the work?
man can sue him in the courts and obtain as
feeavy dsmsg? si possible. The neu measure
addlei upon s targe body of employers a heavy
radi expense for compulsory Insurance of th.ir
uorkmen,
a:< L.NTii.i-.i.v NEW MEASURE.
Bct.vcen this measure, Introdueed by a Con?
St-rvative Home Minister, und Mr. Asqulth't bill
of Ib'Ji, there la, indeed, nothing in common.
The Liberal project would have enabled any
person employed by another to bring suit for
damage* provided the employer. through neglect,
was responsible for Injuries. The Conservative
measure creates an employers' liability in cer?
tain trades for any accident that may occur.
The contrast Is so startling that one finds It
?difficult to believe that the House of Lords only
fi.ur years ago Insisted upon defeating the more
conservative measure by an unnecessary amend?
ment. T??ry democracy now brings |n a more
radical measure, with s... lollsm In the core, and
l*M< onservntive party accepts It as a moderate
an? statesmanlike conecssion to the Interests
Of labor. The limitations respecting ihe classes
of trade;? ?Mid occupations affected by this s.heme
of legislation do not alter its essential character,
in that respect it is more important than any?
thing to which the Lords took exception In Mr.
Asr-uith's exceedingly cautions and WhlRsish
measure.
"Th?.- Dally Chronicle,*1 which Is In sympa- I
thetic touch with th" trad?*s-un|on leaders, at
once halls this measure as a new landmark in j
legislation for labor. "The Dally News," fol- |
lowing Mr Asiuith. who seems to have been
unusually dull ami slunpish last night? threatens
Obstruction from the trades-unions, and does not j
appear to be ?jwnr?? that a (treat concession <>f
vital principle has been made to the working
World. A social Question has been taken Up by
the Government, snd it will be settled in a
d?mocratie way. i?et the responsibility <?f any
class of employers for any and ?very? accident
!>?' established, nnd compenaatlon for all ar
cldental Injuries Is only a question of time.
What Is a tra.b* charge for one occupation will
become in tim<? a common burden upon all em?
ployers In England. Mr. Chamberlain, In car?
rying ??m his social programme, has begun
With compensation for accidents; but the logic
of ?lint primary concession is far-rcachinp. If
employers, when not at fault, can be called
upon to insure their workmen SgUlUSt accidents,
why may they not also be compelled to InsUTTS
against sickness, chronic Invnlldism, an<l the In?
firmities of old ape0 That Is Ptat?* Socialism in
fJermsny. It may be the Tory Democracy of
Kngland In the twentieth century. I. N*. F.

It will be rather strange to hear Tammany
Ball orators and other members of Ihe "short
hair" Democracy -erlalintng from the stump in
behalf of Civil .Service Ratona More serious,
from a Republican point of view, will be ihe atti?
tude of the Independent voters of the State, who
comprise a large portion of the Republican
pnrty. There has been no demand frr.m trcm that
the State and city ofllces should be thrown open
to the occupation of spoilsmen. On the contrary,
there have been many expressions by them of
opposition to the bill which Mr. Black favored
and then signed.
Mr. Illark's tlrst duty under the new law will
be to summon the State Civil Service f.'nmmls
Sloneru Wtllard A. Cobb, of I,ookport; Ooorge
P. Lord, Of Dundee, and Silas \V. Hurt, of New
York?and have them draw up new regulations
for the Civil Service examinations. Mr. Cobb
and Mr. Lord are active memhers of the Ite
DUbllcan machine. They will with great pleas?
ure prepare regulations of the most "practical"
kind. Silas W. Pint, on the other hand, Is an
Independent-minded man ami an expert In
Civil Service matters, who will assuredly look
with dismay on Mr. Black's ord'-r to frame rules
whi?*h differentiate between "merit" ami "lit
ness."
Carl Schurz and his companions of the State
Civil Service Reform Association informed Gov?
ernor Black, although in veiled language, that
as soon as his a? t was sigimd a suit would be
brought to test its .on.stitiuionsllty. There will
be a conflict In the ? ?nuts, therefore, as soon as
tlv Bret appointment is made und<r the new

in all the state Departments there are a large

A.VD nVtWtt, THE OER?
MAN*. PREAf-ttrn.
Th?* Salvation Navy that came Into this port
Saturday lay nt anchor off Liberty Island all day
yesterday. To be. sure, the navy has only on?*
vessel at present, but there was a time wh?n th?
Salvation Armv had only one post. Croat was the
amazement of ?_e old salts that love to sit on the
Battery seawall of S fine day and spin Impossible
yarns when they heard of the remarkable conver?
sion of the crew of the rtrltlsh bark Snowden.
The conversion, as - counted In The Tribune ye?.
terdsy Stornlng, has as yet affected only the mem?
bers of the rrew, but the erew have j-Tr-at hopes
for their ofllcrs. and they say that It Is still a
lornr way to England.
The Salvation N'avy held services y??terday after?
noon aboard their ship, and a number of the curious,
who had he",rd that about the only time prayer
was henni nbo.-ird the ordinary sailing vessel was
when she was about to sink, rowed out to attend
nnd Inctdentalty to heir the band.
Captain Roland uwlcomed the rtstton with hearty
hospitality. The eaptain is a short, heavily built
Britisher, who looks the embo.llment of pood
nature Ills hair and short mustache are cray
nnd hi? fa.-.- is weather-beaten from exposure to
a hundreil Rales and th" sun of every zone. H? la
not a Christian hlmaelf, but he ?ays he has no
objection to prayers aboard his ship. "I ?lunno's
it docs ?he men sny good.** be said yesterdag. "I've
been with this crew goin' on seventeen months
now and I've never had any trouble with 'em; but
th-re's no reason why I should. I treat 'cm like
men. Whether they're black or white, and I never
let mv oftl-crs call a man out of his name. When
we touched at Honolulu the rankee skipp?-rs there
were a bit J. alous o.* the pood discipline of my
boys and the fine ar>pe;nranee they ma-te, hut they
could havo the same If they'd treat their boys as
I do mine." .__._. j ., ,
At this point a tall, broad-shouldered .black
b?*ardcd young Oerman appeared and whisper?:?!
to the captain, who produced two hymn books, an?
nounced that the service was about to hcKln, and
led the way to the ?leek.
NOTHINt, SINFUL AROT'T TOBACCO.
"The buys have stuck it out pretty well since
that one fall from grace at Honolulu." said the
captain In answer to a question. "The only thin??
that seem.i to both.-r 'cm Is tobacco, an', accordln'
to my way o' thlnkin,' there's nothln' sinful in th.?
use of tobacco. But Korn there, tho boy that aske.l
for ?he hymn l.o,,ks, he's the stroke oar In all this
business, and he allows they've got to cut tobacco
out of their rations, an' all but two or three 0?
T*- tbla time Korn had esaembledthe ??*_?(
fourteen men ..-1 they mustered opposite Remain
hatch and .-at on a spun- spar'that lay there, along
with the chief mate, Owen V. llllains. 1 h--- Ut? .1
convert was the ?arpenter, a gigantic HuMlan
named Christian Antmann, who believes tnat nis
parents were proph?tie when they named him. n ?
was converted when the bark left Honolulu, and
be is now one of the most enthusiastic ol the crew.
Korn wore a Salvation Army coat and cap. ins
trousers came to the tops of his shoes, which were
tied with twine. Most of the crew were bar.-toot.-.l.
K..rn lost no time in opening the meeting, an?
nouncing that the services would begin with the
tinging of "Old Hundred." Then those rough repn
s? .natives of half a doz-n nationalities SSOg slowly
arid In good time:
All people that on earth <1o Swell
Sing to the l.or.1 with cheerful voles.
Hin. ?err? wlttl mirth. Ill? prais? foretell;
Coate ><? botare Htm "t"! ?Joles.
Thev snnif prettv well, too, S?d the CSUtSlU whis?
pered' "That bov K'.rn taught It all to 'em. \\ h?-n
he begun on 'em they didn't know "Old Hundred
from half a gale." The coiiKreuution follow?.-'! this
up with "What a l-M. nd We Base in Jesus. Korn s
prayer was of the orthodox sort, such as may be
heard any evening in a Salvation Army me?.-tinK.
He prayed for the ?hip and tho crew and the
officers .and the visitors, and for many other class, a
of persona Then tho crew sung "Nearer, My <?o?i
to Tine " after which Korn read the parable of the
sower and proceeded to preach with thai as his
text He spoke ?perfectly good English, save for a
slight German accent, and ho drew the usual lee*
sans from the parable. He might have been a
resularly ordained minister of a ?Protestant church
so far us his language and theology went.
THE DARKEY LOOKS ON IT AS A JOKE.
The crew listened to him with the closest atten?
tion except the big VTeet Indian negro who played
the drum In the band. He SSSUtSd to r?-gard the
whole affair as an exceedingly diverting spectacle
and showed his enormous snow-white t.-etii in .1
constant grin. How.-ver, after the crew MUg
"linas Ajar" and the band struck up another hynu,
he banged with rarr.-.it zeal the drum the carpenter
had made out of a shark's bl.uliler and a barrel.
Korn played a either, and others of the crew
performed' upon a triangle, a threr-strlng.d violin,
a banjo an?l an accordion. They play?! something
that is new to these parts, but Is batter than a
slap in the face,
Korn explained afterward that he usually had
the band play while th*- rest, of the crew ?"ang, but
that h.i didn't do it yesterday because he thought
the service would ne? m m.?ro solemn to strangers
without the band. Korn himself is s man of edu?
cation. He is onlv twenty-seven years old. and was
.?.incited at i'.eriin in Latin. Greek, ?Trench and
mathematics. His father ?s a paymaster In the
Qarde Cuirassier.? of the Oerman Army, lie went
to tea when a boy of sixteen, and "got rp'.Igion," as
the captain put It, while attending a meeting of
"Bellevera" In Newcastle, N'?-w South Wales, a little
more than a year ago. Since then he has eon
verted nt hast one shipload of sailors and. as al
read) said, he has hopee of the officers.
Captain Roland Is still somewhat doubtful as to
the staving powers of the crew. "They stuck to It
prettv weil." im said, after we sailed from New*
castle, until we put into Honolulu, and then they
made up for lost time, all excepting Korn who's a
?layer and no mistake ?and "Jake" Thompson, who
plays the triangle. But Korn and .hake brought
'em around all right again, and they're stli: full
0' r'ligion. as vou see. But, if they went off the
handle at Honolulu after only sixty odd ?lays o' rec?
titude, what they'll do here when they get shore
leave, af??-r 131 ?lays o' abstinence from evil. Is what
I'm waltln1 to see."
