And though the details of the Control I lership will necessarily be new to him there is I nothing about them so intricate or difficult as I to demand a long apprenticeship on the part of I a man familiar with ordinary business and of I the methodical business habits which long ser I vice in the Revenue Department must have formed General Trowbridge is not the Con troller The reeTbess would have selected even if the choice had been limited to Republi I cans But his appointment will be a good one It will be all the more generally approved for the contrast it presents to the appointment which was threatened and for the element there is in it of atonement for wrong done General Trowbridge in driving him from the Collectorship of Internal Revenue The nominations for the new assessorships will also be well received Aiderman Coolidge is a young man active energetic well ac quaintedwith public affairs and sure to make his 'mark in any official position John Mc Bride has had long experience in the office is I thoroughly acquainted with property values in the city and familiar with the practical work ing details of the assessment business His recognized candidacy for the place has sub jected him to some vague attacks at the hands of rival aspirants but sit is fair to presume that the Mayor has satisfied himself as to the baselessness of these attacks before deciding tosend in his name for confirmation INCREASE IN STATION AL WEALTH The census may not show it perhaps no figures ever will show it accurately but it is I a fact that the wealth of the nation during the past two weeks has been enormously increased During that period there have been added to the educated class of the country in round numbers some 50000 souls Estimating the value of the Greek and Latin ami other ac quirements thus added to the common stock at only their bare cost this must be something like $1000 a piece or $50000000 in the aggre gate But this estimate is palpably far too low It would be a hunentably absurd outcome of our educational system if the learn ing acquired in our colleges and certified to on the diploma were worth only just what it cost including the few dollars paid for fx 1 OK THE SUMMER Persons leaving the city for the summer can have The ree Press mailed to their address in this country or in Europe for any number of weeks they desire by leavingor sending an order to thfaofliro Price by the week postage paid 20 cents" The Brooklyn bridge panic was a godsend to the ulton ferry boats as it made the pub lic distrustful of the former But now that there has been a panic on one of the boats equilibrium is restored and the public distrusts both alike The sisters of deceased wives have again been trampled on by the British House of Lords that body having heartlessly refused them per mission to marry the widowed husbands whom they do not want to out of the The majority against the enabling measure was smaller however than it has been in the past and if the widowers will only maintain their sad state smother year there is a bright prospect for them and their sisters in law 1 The fact that the trade dollar has been ostra cized in New York should be taken note of by money handlers in Detroitand other Western cities An effort will undoubtedly made by those who find themselves with the irredeemable medals in their possession to work them off and if at all encouraged they will turn their attention Westward They should not be permitted to succeed If some body has to suffer the depreciation the pres ent holders may as well be permitted to per good

cases of assaults on women were reported 1 from Connecticut in one week not long ago i and so far none of the perpetrators have tan brought to justice but Connecticut is a queer State The authorities there never like to in flict the expense of a trial on the community if they can possibly avoid it preferring to send the crimmals out of the State as quietly as they can which is economical but rough on the neighbors It was in Connecticut a few weeks ago that a thrifty coroner on the body of a vic tim of a steamboat disaster in the novel way of hitching it by a rope to the end of the pier thus saving the city the expense nf burialThe intention was good but a relative of the deceased came along before the official could cut the remains loose and took charge of the obsequies himself The pennywise policy of some of the town officials in the Nutmeg State has resulted in an increase of crime which will yet cost the Commonwealth a good deal more than timely prevention would have done Mrs

But the phfase does not really mean I that a poker debt is any more honorable than the debt incurred for a spring overcoat It grewout of the fact that there could be no le gal obligation to pay losses at the gaming ta ble and the winner was compelled to relyjon the alone The debt to washerwoman is a of much as the amount lost at cards or on a horse race In the former case however the debt is legal as well as honorable while in the latter it has no support but honor' And a very quper kind of honor it is when it can only be maintained at it was in case by the commission of crime and the sacrifice of everything that men usually hold dear I Porter and the Labor of One of the best answers yet given to ex Tariff Commissioner representations I concerning the workingmen of England is contained in the following communication signed and published in the Chicago Tribune: Mr Porter 'the hired witness for the New York Tribune appears to have no difficulty in England in finding such evidence against free fa flilA nx bn hax been told to tret He is a COOd example of that paradox that a man may he in 1 breaking and entering a freight car was pardoned speaking the literal truth The examples of I today poverty and dirtress that he exhibits are no I doubt correct but his inferences and his in I AMIH at Chase Loss 822000 simiation thatthey are fairly representative Special Dispatch to The Detroit ree Press of the condition oi English workingmen are I East Saginaw June Seaman I false I mill at Chase burned down this evening Loss Born and reared among the working QOO insured for $10000 The lumber was raved I of England my boyhood was spent in London I I during the years of the free trade agitation 1 1 Tnrannitil Comnunirii I was 2U yeora old' when the free trade policy I hlu was adopted and the antiquity I June I discarded forever I have avivid recollection I 1883 were mToIIows: of the social and moral condition of the work I Magnnn Heater Company Muskegon Capital ling classes during the period when the "pro I Jioteb I system oppressed the industry of I Detroit Lead Pipe and Sheet Lead Works Detroit I ii America I returned to fmcland a short I JAloclge MiningCompany Detroit Capital $50000adScegStSe pie so great was their improvement under the HngCoinpa?
