Real Estate in New York

A correspondent gives an idea of the fabulous
prices now being paid for real estate in New York
city. lie says:
"The prices now obtained are, to quote the words
of Johnson, beyond the dreams of avarice. Who
ever imagined that lots even in New FORK would
bring such immense sums A sample of high
prices is found in the advance in Wall street lot
(25Xl2) which was sold in 1928 for the enormous
sum of S35, 900. A similar lot, however, has Just
been sold for $780, A still higher rate was
obtained for the corner of Wall and Broad street
to which we have before referred and which is
really the best corner in the whole city. The size
is only l6x3O, but it brought $3.50 being at the
rate of sixteen millions per acre. This is the high
est price obtained for real estate in America.
The opposite corner is occupied by the Drexel
building and the price paid for it at the rate
of fourteen Millions but that was during the infa
ton. The present condition of the market, how
ever is vastly above initiation prices and there is
no such thing as fixing any limit. For instance,
there is No. so Wall street. 4Sx100, which ten
years ago brought the immense sum of 100000.
This was then considered wonderful sale and yet
the same property has just been re- sold at $780,
600, which is now considered very reasonable
mark, The next sale will no doubt be million,
and indeed at present it seems as though you can
not name price high enough to deter purchasers.
The pressure to obtain offices in Wall street is at
present beyond all precedent, especially in the
vicinity of the stock exchange. This advance in
deed led Jay Gould to move his office for which
he paid 81, 000 The rent was advanced to $I2,-
600, and he Immediately sought a cheaper spot
Gould now sees his mistake in not buying proper
ty when it was cheap and erecting "Gould build
ing" which would have both gratifed his ambition
and added to his wealth. His partner-known in
the stock market as "Wash Conner"-is dashing
young business man of almost boyish appearance.
He is, however, well adapted to carrying out
Goulds schemes, in which other brokers are en-
ployed, for such operations must be done in the
dark. Conner has just returned from brief trip
to London, whose stock exchange he considers a
small affair compared with Wall street. This diff
ference, however, is only natural, as may be seen
from glance at the geographical extent repre-
scented in the latter"

Talhott'S Tact

The Washington correspondent the Baltimore
Day, writing under date July 18th, says: "Mr
Talbot has skillfully managed the Baltimore and
Ohio and Atlantic cable bill in the House. Not
withstanding the difficulty of getting report OF
any kind from the House Committee on Naval
Affairs at this moment, Mr.. Talbot succeeded in
getting a majority of that committee together this
morning and obtained authority to report the
Senate bill to the House for passage, with an
amendment forbidding the company from making
combinations with other cable companies to es-
tablish rates for messages. This bill was accord
ingly reported and promptly passed by the House,
and then sent TO the Senate for concurrence in the
amendment"

lzS~T The latest and most feasible scheme for
settling the Irish troubles provides for the trans
portation of the Irish in a body to Manitoba 1t
is proposed in England to settle the troubles in
this wise and the scheme has been formulated in
its leading details. 1t contemplates a loan of
800 0O0 900 by the British Government to that of
the Dominion, the money to be applied to the
transportation from Ireland of 100000 persons,
or 25O 900 families, averaging six persons to fam
lily. These families are to have $50 acres each,
with all the fxity of tenure they want, and fair
rent in the shape of an annual tax of sixpence per
acre, out of which the costs of the enterprise are
to be gradually paid.

COL. G. IRVING DITTY.

Among those who have been most prominently
named for Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Third Maryland district is Col. c. Irving Dirty,
resident of the LIST district of this county Since
the resignation of Mr.. Proud the fight for the place
has become very warm and the Washington cor
respondents of the Baltimore papers have had new
stories almost every day as to who the coming
man would be, &c. The American correspondent
has endeavored to make it appear that Gen. Cres-
well, who has always been strong supporter and
friend of Col. Dirty, had gone back on him and
was pushing another man for the place. How
unjust and untruthful the american has been is
shown by the following letter which appeared in
the columns of that paper Wednesday:
EdUor HmerIcuH :-rrease-PvrIhIt me To GOA vvv
the error of your Washington despatch, published
to-day, as to the relations existing between Hon.
J. A. ]. Creswell and me relative to the contest for
the Collectorship of Internal Revenue, Third Mary
land district. Mr.. Creswell from the first has been
a warm and steadfast friend of mine. There never
has been, and is not now, the least misunderstood
ing between US. January 5th last, being very i'll
and supposing the appointment about to be made,
[ informed Mr.. Creswell by letter of my condition,
for the purpose of leaving him free to support
other. Since that time all my communications
with the authorities have been through Mr.. Ores
well exclusively. Since last April my health has
steadily improved, and in more rapid ratio with
in the last month. On the 10th inst. my physi-
eians Drs. f. I. Miles and j. G.. Holiday, exam
ined me and said they would furnish me their
written opinion that evening. Professional en-
gagements prevented their doing so until the 18th
inst when l at once enclosed their opinion to Mr..
Creswell, who, within an hour after the receipt,
endorsed and filed it. Yesterday l called in per-
SON on my physicians and received from them a
second written opinion, stronger than the first,
which also forthwith forwarded to Gen. Cres-
WELL who, 1 doubt not, has disposed of it as he did
the first. Yours, respectfully,
c. IRVINE Dirty.
We are very glad indeed to know that Col Dit
tvs health is SO rapidly improving, and as this
appears to have been the main obstacle in the way
of his getting the appointment, we hope that as it
is now removed that the place may be given to him
because no man who has been named is more de-
serving. He has been most active in National,
State and county politics, devoting his time and
money to the advancement of Republican princi-
Piles, even to the extent of sacrificing, to some
tent at least his private business. Such valuable
services deserve recognition at the hands of the
Administration, and we earnestly hope the Presi-
dent-now that Mr.. Proud has resigned-will lose
no time in rewarding so faithful and earnest
Republican Col. Dirty by placing the Office at
his disposal.

ES~A few days ago one of those very egotis-
teal Pennsylvania independents asked Gen.
Beaver, the regular Republican nominee for
Governor, to let him see his brass 3O6 medal when
Beaver held out his crutch, and remarked, "That
is the only 800 medal have" The Independent,
who was one of the home guards, looked for hole
to creep into. That was an answer that should
shut up the mouths of the chattering magpies
whose whole stock in trade is the abuse of true
and tried men and upright Republicans

The CITY OF Alexandria.

The city of Alexandria, Egypt, named after
Alexander the Great, is 1000 years old. As much
interest is centred around it on account of the
war now in progress there, we publish below a
brief description of the city;
"The modern city presents by no means a
striking appearance, and from its situation its en-
virons are fiat, sandy and sterile. Its walls have
been destroyed in various places to make way for
improvements. In the Turkish quarter the streets
are narrow, filthy and dirty, the houses mean and
ill-built The European quarter, on the other
hand, presents handsome streets and squares and
excellent shops, There still remain several of the
ancient monuments, among which may be men
toned two obelisks-"Cleopatra's Needle" -origi-
nally brought to Alexandria in the reign of Ii
berius. "Pompey's Pillar" which was in fact
erected in honor Of Diocetian and surmounted by
a statue of that Emperor, has a height of nearly
hundred feet. Southwest of the city are the cata-
combs, which served for the burial of the dead
They are formed by excavations in the calcareous
stone which underles the coast. They are of
great extent and some of the chambers
markable for their elegance. The population of
the city is of a very mixed character, consisting,
besides the native Turks and Arabs, of Armenians,
Greeks, Syrians, Italians, French, English, Ger
mans, &c. In 1925 the aggregate of its inhab
tants was $4,000; in 1910, 6O,000 in 1871, 2l9,-
602 of whom $500 were foreigners. Its popu-
lation at the present day is estimated at about
100000. In 1861 the total value of the exports
from Alexandria was 3,194, ITO; in 1871, $751;
25S,O4O. In the latter year the imports were
worth S2S 765, 100 of which S12 ,945, 120 from
England. Cotton was exported to value of $780,
100000. Cotton seed, beans, corn, sugar, gums,
coffee ivory, wool, senna, &C., its other prin
cpal articles of export. The Suez canal will
doubtless serve to draw from Alexandria portion
of its traffic, but the improvements making in its
harbor and its direct railway communication with
Suez must still give it certain advantages over the
other point as trade centre, while it must con-
tinue to be, as heretofore, the great emporium of
the rapidly extending trade of Egypt ITSELF"

GG>0nly one of the six Maryland representa-
tives in Congress, Mr. Urner, was in his seat when
the vote on the appropriation of $40 900 for sur
vey of the Delaware and Chesapeake Ship Canal

for it, but Carlisle, Democratic member from Ken
lucky, refused to have the question postponed un-
til the full Maryland delegation was present, and

IzS-It is remarkable fact that in over one
third of the states of the Union not a single re-
moval of an office holder has been made BY Presi-
dent Arthur since he came into office, and reyy few
have been made in any of the states, and yet the
enemies of the President have been abusing him
for making removals as if he had been making a
revolution in that respect This groundless as
sault on Arthur's administration shows how little
there is in it that can be assaulted. The truth is
he has performed his Presidential duties with re-
markable discretion and ability, and Republicans,
at least, ought to treat him fairly
