BrOadbTimS New York Letter.

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
All the week the city has been one
blaze of excitement. The Bartholdi
statue; the crush of visitors, foreign and
native; the election - altogether our
brains have been kept in such whirl
of excitement, that We now feel like eX-
claiming with the warrior who sleeps at
Riyerside-'Let us have peace" A
New York crowd is irrepressible; not
storm, nor lightning, nor earthquakes
can put them down. Almost any other
people on the civilized globe, would have
postponed the Bartholdi celebration; !;
not so with New Workers, like wild
ducks they fly best in stormy weather.
On Saturday night, two weeks ago,
while the rain poured down in torrents,
twenty thousand enthusiastic admirers
of Henry George tramped cheerfully
through the mud and storm; sustained
by no Doodle, kept up by no promised
reward; but patriots in the best sense of
the word-no matter whether we con-
slider them right or wrong; still patriots
in all that patriotism implies What
ever our opinions may be of Mr.. Hewitt
and Mr.. Roosevelt, it is impossible not
TO admire the enthusiasm of the thous-
ands of men who braved the pelting
storm of that SATURDAY. night for Henry
George. We would not have been at all
astonished at such procession within the
well drilled lines of Tammany Hall or
the County Democracy. Even the con-
seryative Republicans occasionally get
stirred up to fever heat-and l recollect
two years ago, when the Plumed Knight
was marching toward the White House
ten thousand men tramped through one
OF the bitterest storms of the season,
shouting cheerily for James G.. Blaine.
1t was such terrible night that even
veteran ProhibitiOnists, who could not
have told the difference between
brandy smash and a whiskey sour,
sought the conner drug store, and begged
a little something to qualify their Apol-
linaris. But the twenty thousand men
that marched for Henry George took
cold water inside and out; and if you
could have provided them with fins,
believe they would swim to the polls.
Political and social circles were pro-
foundly stirred at the slight put on
Mayor Grace by the Bartholdi Commit
tee. 1t is quite immaterial whether we
like Mr. Grace or whether we do not.
He is the representative Of a million
and a half of people, and the chief mag
istrate Of the most imperial city of the
Union. Mayors from Jersey City, New
ark, Brooklyn ant other places had been
invited to take par. in the ceremony,
and why the Mayor Of the great city at
whose gateway, and in whose territory
the celebration took place should have
been overlooked, is one Of those pieces
of incomprehensible stupidity which, as
Lord Dundreary remarks, "No fellow
J can find out" But, he did not 20, and

THE Secretary of the Consfitnti,

The Secretary of the Constitutional
Convention Committee has sent letter
to Governor Pattison calling his atten.
tion to the issue of free passes by rail
road corporations in violation of Section
8 of Article XVII of the State Con-
stitution, and in consequence of the
receipt of this communication bv the
Governor il is probable that when the
Attorney General applies to the Courts
to restrain the anthracite coal combi-
nation and the tTuhk-line pool from in
terfering with trade and depressing the
public preliminary injunctions will also
be asked for to restrain the railroad
companies from granting free passes.
II this programme be carried out the
members Of the next State Legislature
will pay railroad fare or walk. The
free pass must gol

and TO secure the election of his oppon-
ent. The fragrant ingratitude OF this
act will be more apparent, when It is
remembered that General Tracy secured
Col Beecher the position of Assistant
District Attorney; and when Henry
Ward Beecher, his father, was placed in
deadly peril, some years ago, for six
long and weary months, General Tracy
labored night and day, and if it had not
been for General Tracy's splendid appeal
in his behalf, there might not have been
disagreement in the jury, which alone
secured Mr. Beecher's escape, and in
stead of being to-day the most popular
preacher of his time, he might have gone
down to posterity, a ruined and broken
hearted man.
The will of Mrs. Stewart was not at
all disappointing. She looked out for
her own. In fact, If it were not for the
perpetraton of very vile pun, it might
be called a Clincher. The Clnches to
the remotest generation are most bounti-
fully endowed, but the rest of the world
| will have to take care of itself so far as
Mrs. Stewart is concerned Let no one
be led astray about the magnlficently
endowed seat of learning at Garden
City. There is no charity about that
it is not intended for the poor, but for
the rich. If you doubt it send your son
or daughter there and the semiannual
bills will soon convince you that charity
has nothing to do with il. Henry Hilton,
twenty times a millionaire, profits 10y

ing gentleman, and which, if it adds
nothing to his earthly blessing, will
serve to swell his plethoric sack. One
thing is certain, he can take none of II
with him, and his lease at the best car
not be long one; and when he does die
l prognosticate that the synagogues will
not be opened for the purpose of doing
honor to his memory. Even the picture
gallery that might have been donated to
the city passes into Hilton's hands, SC
the public may as well make up its mind
that it will never be permitted to look
upon it. 1t is fitting close to fortune
garnered by one of the hardest and most
selfish men ever known OH the marts of
commerse. His pathway to wealth was
paved with the ruined hopes and dis
asters of better but less fortunate and
less prosperous men, and among his
business associates it is difficult now to
| find person to speak one kindly word
for him. BY the bier of his wife stood
one of his blood relations, whose father
had given him his education and his
start in the world, but he ignored every
claim of gratitude and honor to bestow
uncounted millions on Henry Hilton
who already had millions to spare. So
passes into oblivion one of the greatest
fortunes of the century to be scattered
with each succeeding generation till not
even a wreck remains.
The flower show at Cosmopolitan Hall
was thing of beauty that drew thou
sands to see it, and the exhibition of
horses at Madison Garden one of the
finest we nave had for years.
The weather is splendid after the rain,
and now the elections are over we can
settle down to business.

Mrs. PARSONS, of Chicago, a woman
Of predatory and Anarchistic inclina-
tions says that in the orler of socialstic
ideas the red flag represents 1.-THE COM
mon consanguinity of man-it means
that great common life current which
flows through the veins of rich and poor
alike; it means humanity, it means
brotherhood, and the black flag means
famine. This probably settles the
question of why the "towels" in so
many country printing houses are
black.

Although u white Democrat was eoldly
murdered by number Of colored Republi-
cans IN Texas on election day no outcry has
been raised by the bloody shirt organs aud
even John Sherman has failed TO denounce
the outrage. In the light of events witnessed
by the last generation this is singular to say
the least. but it may have been due to the
fact that the tariif was being saved. 1t some
