The business mems meeting in the dry-goods
district yesterday did not Indicate that Repub-
leans of means think it necessary to vote for
Mr. Hewitt for Mayor In order to rebuke the
peculiar land-tax cOnfscation schemes of Mr..
Henry George. On the contrary, the great
feature of the gathering was the enthusiasm
shown for Mr.. Roosevelt. The dry goods mer-
chants plainly intend to make their disapprOval
of Henry George clear, and at the same time
strike blow at the political rings and bogus
reformers now Sbankingr on Mr.. Hewitt's
respectable name.
More interesting facts In connection with
real estate specrl ations in the District OF Col
umba will be found in letter from Washing
ton printed to-day. That the comparatively
uninhabted region Of Rock Creek is to be
greatly improved while other property actually
used for residences OF business Is neglected by
the District Commissioners cannot be doubtedj
but just how freely the taxpayers money is to
be expended has not, leaked out, since the Off
Gals who know the plans will not tell. There
are times when reticence is unfortunate, and
this is one of.them.
The French guests were properly welcomed
yesterday by the American Committee In
charge Of the Statue Of Liberty. All the ar
engagements seem to have been made and car
ried out In good tastej and il the programme
on Thursday passes off as well the unwilling
ceremonies will be great success. Mean
while, every one Will be gratfed to know that
the pedestal and the surroundings Of the
Statue are approved by NJ. Bartholdi. He has
no suggestion to make except as to the terrac-
ing of the old fort walls, which can be readily
carried out. This is what comes OF having an
able Pedestal Committee.
The State Committee continues to receive
proof that American workingmen are waking
pp to the fact that 10 support the Democratic
party Is to help free trade. This Is due in
part to the frankness yof British newspaper
writer's, who admit that through such agencies
ds the Golden Club England hopes tpresently
to SEE the protective tariff policy OF the
United States abandoned. Mr. Hew1tts |
alleged membership in the Golden Club Will |
hardly gain support for him, among the Irish |
Voters especially. And even II be were not |
member Of any free trade organization his
anti-protection tendencies are enough to dis
courage all thoughtful New-York workingmen
from voting.for him.
Tie majority Of Episcopalians in favor Of
revising the prayer-book will be gratifed at |
the changes approved yesterday by the lower |
house Of the General Convention, and feel en- |
tooraged to hope for greater ones later. Only
those who are familiar with the somewhat COM
piicated liturgy nov used by this religious
denomination will appreciate the innovations.
Nusioally the service will be much enriched
4nd its effectiveness increased 1t may be as
veil to state that these alterations, having now
been sanctioned By both houses in the last
General Convention and by both houses IN this
Qpe, are pow adopted by the Church in accord.
8bce with the law. and henceforth are parts Of
