That "town war Scrautou" will need to bo good, to deserve the high honor of its propinquity. The Poor Pay of Teachers. The salaries paid to tho public school teachers in this city compare favorably with those paid for similar work iu corresponding cities iu tho state. Sev eral months ago, in demonstration of this assertion, wo punted comparative wlutiaties, which are, unluckily, not accessible at this iustant; but it will not, we fancy, need a prolonged pres entation of figures to secure general acceptance of our proposition. o that, when criticism is made upon the paucity of the pay doled out to those earnest and able men and women who comprise the vast majority of the in structors of our youth, it will be under stood that there is no intention to re flect upon the present members of tho local board of control, but rather upon the broad system which seems to re gard as of minor worth the work done ju the public school rooms. A prominent Scrautouiau, engaged in a certain branch of commerce, re cently remarked within our heariug that lie had, upon that day, "cleared $5,000." The element of chance or luck may bo argued iu this man's be half; but it would still remain the fact that with scarcely more than average attainments and with certainly not more than the average school teacher's faithfulness to duty, this gentlemau had, as a consequence of one day's trading, prolited more largely thau five average male touchers of equal ability would, together, protit from a whole year's exacting mental work in the school room Even in the cusu of the salaried men in the other learned professions it remains true that the average wage is much higher than in tho case of the pedagogue. The men who earn $2,000 and 3,000 and even 1,000 per year in our city as architects, tngincrs, clergymen, physicians, at torneys, dentists, etc., are uiucti mure numerous than are the teachers who receive $!,0UO anil $1,500 a year; and tiicy do not work harder nor do more nor better work than is done by the teachers. We were amused not long ago when an employer of teachers in this city told us that out of hundreds of appli cations received by him for positions in the faculty of a private school, not one had presumed to ask more than $1,000 a year fur his services; while the great majority had asked decidedly less. . This ;rentltnmn seemed to regard it nsa particularly notable feature of his own experience that he had once pnid $110 a month toan instructor from whose attenti voserviees he had largely been enabled to accumulate an Inde pendent fortune. Yet had this gen tleman gone to a lawyer for advice, a physician for medicine, a clergyman for spiritual consolation, a dentist for relief from pain or toan architect for plans of a house, he would have thought nothing of having paid twice or thrice as much money for tho same grade of service. Still, the moldors of brain and character, who do their work upon the pupil in a manner that often carries with it tho determination of the pupil's success or failure in life, arc content to beg for the pennies and the dimes, while the other fellows get the dollars and the eagles. Discerning an evil aud curing It are two different things. We do not pre tend to know how teachers, as a class, can get more pay. We only know that they are underpaid; and that their easy acquiescence in this depreciatlve rating is responsible in a largo degree for the meagreness of their wages It is well that teachers should give their whole work to teaching. The Jack-of-all-trades is master of none. But when the teacher gives his whole mind and soul and ambition and future to tho dry routine of the school room, it would be fair to give to the teacher in return wages commensurate with his work, wages that will euublo hiui to feel repaid for his toil. Tins city has had few officials more faithful, modest, unassuming and conscientious than was Harry It. Madison. He was a man who did his whole duty in all capacities; a loyal and warm hearted friend, an obedient son and one of nature's genuine noble men. May his rest be peaceful as his life was true. It is too early to place credence In the reports of disaster alleged to have befallen the Wellman Arctic-exploring party. The venture of Walter Well man was a foolhardy one, not worth its rika and deprivations; but the good Yankee pluck In the man is not likely to have been exhausted at the first tribulation. Arctic exploration as pursued iu this Instance is a foolish fad, and one with which we have no sympathy; but when undertaken by so good a Journalist as Walter Wellman, it excites wishes for the explorer's sue- cess and enkindles the hope that the glacial frosts of the Arctic circle -will not rob America of a flrst-cluss news' paper man merely to furnish forth a Polar bear holiday. Senator Hill Is really too able a ruau to waste his talents in tho role of a Mephistopholos. Ho has it in him to rise to higher honors. Wii are not sure that compulsory arbitration would be a complete suc cess at the first jump; but the sooner a fair start is made, the sooner will tho ultimate solutiou be reached. Pro crastination iu this matter is assuredly the thief of peace. Senator Hill's defense of O rover Cleveland is strikingly suggestive of Satan's rebuke of sin. The center of the anthracite indus try is entitled to a state hospital if any community iu the anthracite region is. Others have their appropriations; it is high time we had ours. Compulsory Arbitration Defined. One of the common arguments against compulsory arbitration is thus worded by the Chicago Journal: "When the labor unions shall make themselves responsible financial bodies and shall bind their men to stick to contracts under palu of heavy loss of pooled earnings aud savings it may be time enough to talk of compulsory ar bitration, but not until then." Tho same idea is thus expressed in differ ent words by the Pittsburg Dispatch: "While the law might force employers to abido by the finding of a compulsory arbitration, how will it force employes to work if the finding does not suit them? The very idea of men driven to work against their wills is monstrous, and, in addition to that, it would be futile, for compulsory work, in nine cases out of ten, is valueless." Did it ever occur to these publicists that the courts already, by restraining injunctions, recognie the vital princi ple in compulsory arbitration when they compel the performance of dis puted contracts during the legal set tlement of the points nt issue? A la bor organization deriving its charter from the courts could be dissolved aud robbed of its organic standing before tho law were it to refuse to obey the mandate of tho law after having a peulcd to that law for redress. Public sentiment demands compulsory arbi tration as a measure of self-protection. For labor to declare that it would not obey a compulsory arbitration law wiili public sentiment back of it would be to proclaim anarchy and revolu tion flatly aud outright. Wo do not believe, In the first place, that organ ized labor Is thin anarchistic or revo lutionary; nor, stcoiidiy, that if it were, it could long resist the forces of law and order. Compulsory arbitration could not bo made what its name implies without the active co-operation of public sen timent. Nobody contends that it could. The only point contended by advocates of compulsory arbitration is th-it' public sentiment, after a long period of patient indiil'erenie to its own interests, ia now ready, or almost ready, to co-operate earnestly iu tho sustenance of a law which shall protect innocent third persons against tho bulk of the enormous damage inllicted iu the economic civil warfare known as great strikes. The opportunities of free adver tising iu this glorious American country are eutiroly too numerous. There are really many pleasanter things than a president w ho is so ex traordinarily better than his party. Brother Gompkrs, no;v that It's all over, deserves congratulations for the dexterity and grace with which ho straddled a disagreeable dilemma until he was carried over upon solid ground. When tariff tinkering rogues fall out, there is hope that the interests of hone3t industry may yet escape spolia tion. The Granting of Franchises. The City club of Gotham has formu lated this article, . which it wants in serted in tho proposed newconstitutiou of New York state: No franchise which may bo'Oporito l in, bIou?, over, andcr, or hcrosy any of tn. public streets nr placau ia any city ia tho sUW sbull be grautol to or acquired by nuy person othor tbiiu such city, iin'e.so by tbutxpions nuthoiity uud ootMuiit of the local nutligvitiai of such city ia piirsuuuca ot a general law. Tua terms of tl:o grunt of every mch fraucliiso sUnll providu for componsaMuu to on paid to th city, oittier by way of a ningla payrnvnt or of an an nual runtnl or a proportionate vlmra of tbe receipts; or a combination of such methods, sncb compensation to be ascertained by na appraisal by couiuiisuiouxr appoiuted by the supreui court. And in nil cse tho grunts shnll bi for not to oxood thirty years unci tuny contain provisions for re newals for li lie psriods on appraisals by comaiissioniTs to be appointed by the su pra tua court. The adoption of the foregoing article would be a wholesome victory for good government; but it is a consummation to be wished rather than expected. No adequate reason lias ever been ad vanced in behalf of tho marked inferi ority of American municipal govern ment to that lu vogue in many Euro pean cities an inferiority more nota bly, perhaps, in our prodigal bestowal of valuable franchise grunts than in any other particular. The cynicul re mark of the elder Vanderbilt supplies tho "principle" upon which this prodi gality largely rests; yet under our form of government if "the public be d d" it is the public's own fault. It has the remedy in Its own sovereignty and that It does not of tener apply it is noth ing less thau a bewildering anomaly utterly without rational explanation. Antecedent to an eifective incorpora tion into the organic law of such an article as the. foregoing must, there fore, come such an education of public sentiment as will reconcile the public to honesty in the administration of its ailairs. It is doubtful If at this stago of the reform movement the American people would feel at ease under a muni cipal system which failed to mulct them heavily in favor of corporate greed and ollleial rapacity. Ws beg to correct the Indiana cor respondent of the Washington Post in the following particular: The only sure hold for a gin the Repub lican! bad wui in the Tenth, and uuless BouiethioK It dooo that will be frittered away. The district ia naturally Kepub lu'un by a small plurality. It was lout iu lb'jo by Mm. Owous, who is now the Re publican cuudidate for secretary of state, owing to disappointments about the dis tribution of patroungo. No "Mrs. Owens" is "now the Re publican candidate for secretary of state" iu Indiana. The era of women in politics may eventually reach to Indiana, us It has to some other west ern commonwealths; but it hasn't arrived there yet. Tho "Mrs. Owens" in the Post's mind is cx-Keprcsenta-tive William D. Owen, formerly super intendent of Immigration, author of the Owen immigration law, a cultured Christhiu gentleman and scholar, aud a politician who was beaten in 1800 simply because his antagonist had the most votes. Ex-Senator Inualls would make a good recruit for the editorial staff of one or two local contemporaries that we could name. A T THE Pie Counter. Private John Allan, says tho Wnshinu ton Pot, managed to work in his little juke daring tbe houaa proco.'dlngs the othvr day. It wuh during the considera tion of the bill called up by the military committee, to itive a silver medal to the veterans who responded to tho call of Gov urnor Curtio, of i'cnusylviuiia, to repel tbii iuvasiou of the confederates uud'ir General Lte. Jlr. Coomhi, of New York, acted us the champion of tho measure. Ho said the baukers had left their batik, the dorks their counters, and the farmers their pluws to respond to tho call of patri otic duly. The medal wan promised to the men by the isoreruiueiit, Mr. Coombs said, aud ou'ht loui; ago to have been struck mid distributed to tuoeo entitled to thorn. "You say tuut bankers left their bauks, cKrks their counUrs, and farmers thair plowc," put in lir. Allou in a droll way, "to reiipoud nobly to the call of patriotism aud duty.

Tha whole letter of President Cleveland to Chnlrman Wilson, of the way and means committee, Is one of the most re markable documents that ever camo from the white house. Whiln tbe two houses of congress which are endowed by the consti tution with the b ile power of originating, debating aud shapiug legialatiou are ar ranging a further conference upon a bill concerning which they are not at agree ment, the hoad of tbe executive dupart ment of the government cut into their dis cussion as with the crack of a whip, and virtually orders them what to do. If Qunen Victoria bad walked into the houte of commons aud thrust a royal proclama tion into the midst of the debate on the home rule bill, she would have committed no greater luvasion ot the functions of a legiHlative body. We fancy it she had done so there would have beun Hitch a storm about it as has not shaken England Blnoe Charles dismissed the parliament Which would uot pass bills to suit him.
