MIR. uEwITT's ELECTION.

Mr.. Hewitt has been elected TO the
Mayoralty of New York by plurality
over Mr.. George of about $500.
His political friends will naturally
claim the result as great Democratic
victory, which to some extent and in o
certain sense II is But to very many
people, not only In New York, but all
over the country, 1t is much more. 1t
was not matter of life and death to
the people Of the metropolis that Mr..
Hewitt should be elected. The public
interests would not have suffered 10y
the election of Mr. Roosevelt. 1t was
of more than ordinary importance,
however, that Mr.. George should be
defeated.
THE CRrTiC Is not Of those who hold
that Henry Georges elevation to the
highest position in the gift of the peo-
pie Of New York would be attended
with necessarily calamitous conse.
quenees, because the same restraining
forces that matte themselves felt at
yesterdays polls to defeat him would
prove equally alert to protect the city
from possible abuses Of power in case
of his success. In the opinion of some
careful observers of events, it were
better, indeed, that Mr.. George had
been elected in order that the issues
thus presented might be the sooner
settled.
Yet Mr.. George is personally an hon
est and worthy man. 1t is not to be
questioned that he loves his country
and desires its prosperity. That in
any position to which he might be
called he would discharge its duties
conscientiously is not to be doubted.
At the same time he is the avowed ad-
vocate of theories of property and tax
alton so radically antagonistic to the
existing order of things, that even If
practicable at all they are capa-
bic of adoption only through the vic.
lence of revolution, and in the very
agitation of which there lurk the ele-
ments of danger Conservative citizens
have no faith in doctrines like these as
panacea for the ills of the body poll.
tie--no faith in Henry George as the
architect of their social and economic
reconstruction. Hence the protes
which they have rendered against hi;
candidacy.
His election would have been ac
claimed by thousands with whom as
good citizen he can have no persona
sympathy. 1t would have given fires,
impetus to the cause of Anarchism tn
world over. 1t would have been hailec
by the condemned bombthrowcrs a
equivalent to popular outcry for thei
pardon. 1t would have been bat
thing for law and a bonus to lawless
ness. Hence Mr.. ilewitt's election
amounts to considerably more than {
Democratic victory.

SPEAKER CARLISLE is returned to
Congress, of course, but by a greatly
decreased majority. His figures this
time show only about 800 majority,
while at the last election they reached
the handsome majority of 5,3i2.
The Speaker was beaten in his own
home, Covington, by about 1000.
He carried that city two years ago by
900. Newport went against him also,
as did his own county. The cause of
the great decrease in the Speakers
popularity at home is the same as
that which kept Mr. Willis from re.
turning from the Louisville district.
Mr.. Carlisle favored the reappointmont
of Mrs, Thompson as postmaster at
Louisville and also failed to comply
with the wishes of his constituents in
regard to the Covington and Louisville
postofllces. The Kentucky Democrat

Mr.. HENRY GEORGE, candidate for
Mayor of New York, has shown him
self in his true colors. Last night,
when he saw the battle was against
him, he made this speech: ''lf the Of,

il is because of the money and intiml-
dation used, and ofthe rum shops, Of
State and National administrations, of
an unscrupulous press, the unreasona-
BILE fear of the ignorant rich and the
degradation Of the miserable poor"
Would Mr.. George have US believe
that he is cross between an ass and
an Anarchist Why dida't he tell the
truth and say simply: "If the official
returns do not give me that office it is
because | dind't get votes enough?"

An Old Fashioned Judge.

Daniel Webster used sometimes to
read the conclusion of charge by
Judge Dudley, trader and farmer,
manuscript copy of which be had
for many years in his desk. 1t was
treat to here him read it in pure
and unde6led English, as 1t doubtless
came from Judge Dudley's lips:
You have heard, gentlemen of the
jury, what has been said in this case
by the lawyers, the rascalsl bat no,
| will not abuse them. 1t is their
business to make a good cause for
their clients;-they are paid for it.
and they have done it in this case
we'll enough; but you and !, gentle
men, have something else to consider.
They talk of law. Why, gentlemen,
it Is not law we want, but justice.
They would govern Us by the COM
mon law of England. Trust me,
gentlemen, common sense is much
safer guard for us; the common sense
of Raymond, Epping. Exeter and the
other towns which have sent US here
to try this case between two OF our
neighbors A clear head aud honest
heart are worth more than all the law
of all the lawyers. There was one
good thing said at the bar. 1t was
from one Shakespeare, an English
player, believe. No matter; it is
good enough almost to be in the
Bib,e. 1t is this: BE just and fear
not" 1t is our business to do justice
between the parties, not by any quirks
of the law out of Coke or Blackstone,
books that 1 have never read and
never will, but by common senfe aud
common honesty, as between man
andmaa. That is our business, and the
curse Of God is upon US If we neglect,
or evade, or turn aside from il. And
now, Mr. Sheriff, take out the jury:
and you, Mr.. Foreman, do not keep
US waiting with idle talk, of which
there has been too much already
about matters which have nothing to
do with the merits of the case. Give
US an honest verdict. Of which, as
plain, common sense men, you need
not be ashamed
