The Democrats, who have been the suffer
prs from these laws, have always denounced
them, and Il has been taken Tor granted that
one OF the first of their acts, If they should
come into power in 1880, would be to repeal
the whole mass OF them. This ought GER
tainly to he done, and whenever Demo-
crat administration holds power in WASH
ington there is no doubt that the Republic
cans will eagerly help and perhaps even
demand the repeal. But there Is reason to
fear that Il will then be too late, a good
many Democrats are even now indisposed
20 this repeal. They say the Republicans
have had q very great advantage from these
laws for a good many years and they viii
y!Ow wait until il comes 20 their turn. II
enough Republicans and Democrats would
ioin hands for the repeal at the present ses-
sion IL could be done, but Il would need the
helm of Republican votes.

indicated as copyrig GIFTED in America, any intending
American publisher Will find still moro explicit in
formation as to the nature of the protection now
acquired. Al the end Of Mr.. John Beelow's admir-

MODEL TENEMENT HOUSES.


4 COMPANY FORMED TO ERECT DWELLINGS FOR
THE POOR WITH PLENTY OF LIGHT AND AIR, AT
A SMALL ANNUAL RENTAL.
Seven representative business men held q meeting
on Thursday afternoon to devise means Of erecting
improved tenement houses. Their consultation re-
suited in the issuing of a circular yesterday which
was distributed among the wealthy men of the city.
Ii is stated that II intended TO organize company
and issue bonds to cOvcrthe subscriptions and after
paving interest TO make the excess cooperative. To
accomplish the object il is proposed TO raise $780,
900. The following persons have already sub
scribed $1,000 each. and subscription books are
omen nj the National Broadway Bank. The crCu-
lar is signed by James IacOtt Russell Sage L. A.
Palmer, II. +. Russell, James Scott, John ;. Huln
and Henry Dexter.
Mr. Ialcott a merchant. of No. los Frankin-st,
SAID Yesterday that plan would not be decided
upon until the money lad been raised. The idea
was, he said, to erect large house on about SIX
teen city lots or 200 feet square, and fashioned
somewhat after the Peabody tenement in England.
In the centre there would be a large courtyard,
which would serve rs a breathing place 10 all the
occupants and would also furnish light and yCntila-
ton to every room IN the immense structure. The
large ward would also afford playground for the
from the streets. Ii was calculated that building
of this kind would accommodate comfortably about
$50 families each Oi which would be required 10
nav an annual rent Of about 500. With this in
come the stockholders could receive about . or u
Der cent on their investment ANA the surplus would
be- divided among the tenants As a rebate. his
ulgn had worked successfully abroad. lt Is cN-
pccted that the model house viii be completed ready
