HEWITT AND MORRISON.
How the Former Has Missed il by
Becoming Mayor of New York.

WI ANCh
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 6.-Hewitt will be
sorry now that he chose to be Mayor Of
New York rather than to come back to
Congress. He could never get on with
Morrison and he felt that it was useless
tor him to attempt to work. OF course.
there is no practical way of etfectinR
financial legislation in the House except
through the Committee on Ways and
Means, of which committee Mr.. Morrison
would have continued chairman had he
been reelected, in the probable event that
the revenue retormers should control the
organization of the next House. Now if
Hewitt were only elected to the next
House he would in all probability be Nor
risOn's successor as Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, and as such
would have had a chance to at least bring
in tariff bill, with some chance of pass
ing it. 1t would have been much more
apt to succeed Ia Hewitps hands than in
Morrson's. AS it is, Hewitt will prOba-
ply be failure as Mayor of New York,
for he has little executive ability and still
less political ability.

and uncle OF the unfortunate lad.
When the negroes arrived at
home their mother ran out
with musket. which she
handed to one of her sons, telling him to
shoot. He did so. and Jesse Oliver fell
