FOR LIGHT AND AIR.
Two Hoboken Flat Own
ers in a Novel
Warfare.

There Is most peculiar state Of affairs
existing between two owners Of property
in Hoboken. On Bloomfield street, be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, In that
city. are two imposing fat building.
They were built by c. Pellant, Of Fifth
and Grove streets, Of this city.
When the fats were built Mr.. Pellant
left yard Of about twenty feet in the
rear. Some time ago the property at Nos.
l4s and $50 Washington street was pur-
chased by Mr.. Tlscho. of Harlem, and he
at once started to erect two large five
story fats. The architect was a Mr..
Wentz, Of Third avenue. New York. In
the plans it was decided to build right
up 10 the fence which divided Mr..
PellanCs property. When Mr.
Pellant learned this he asked Mr. Tischo
not TO build up to his fence line. but TO
allow a yard in the rear. Mr.. Pellant
said that the light would be shut out
from his tenants. Tischo refused to do
this. and then Mr.. Pellant asked that
only the ground floor be built the full
length, and that the upper floors be
low his tenants light and air, but even
this Tischo refused. He said be would
build right up to the line.
Hardly had the last brick in the rear
wall OF the Washington ctreet flats been
laid when small army OF tinsmiths ap-
peared on the scene early one morning.
Without saying word TO anyone they
started at work and before nightfau
galvanized iron wall fifty-ive feet high
and fifty feet wide was built right inside
the fence line Of Mr.. PeIlant's property
Mr.. Pellant was obtaining revenge with
a vengeance.
The wall shut out the light entirely
from the Washington street houses and
the plasterers and other workmen on the
second, third aud fourth floors had TO
work by candie light in midday
| visited the barricaded house this
morning. The iron screen was still there
as solid as a rock. and no effort had been
made to remove it. The screen was
erected at an expense of 5000, and Mr.
Pellant says it viii never come down. It
will be very hard indeed for Mr. Tischo
to secure tenants If the wall remains in
its present position. The rooms are as
dark as night

SENATOR DAWES, of Massachusetts, in re-
spouse to letter from Boston importer, q
republican, protesting against the outrage
Gus Mckinley bill, says: 1.-The protection
go for ia to put our producers on an equal
i:y in our markets With those who produce
your goods. Then If they can't take care
of themselves, they must go to the wall"
Ia view of the fact that Mr.. Dawes has
heretofore been one of the most ultra pre-
tec,ionists In Congress, the wise sentiment
quoted above sounds very much as II the
truth Of revenue tariff had at last broken 10
upon the voters of Massachusetts, and that

bis old age seen pew light. With free
raw material, 80 that the producers of this
country would be on an equality with their
foreign rlvalp, the Uoted States would soon
become the storehouss from which the

manufactured supplies.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 81.

AT WASHINGTON, the capital OF the re-
yn;ted country, three speeches we're maze
Yesterday by three members OF the national
Congress:
Mr.. Routslle Of Maine eaid:
.'The rebellion was conspiracy organized
in the interest ofhunan slavery. liz sougnts
Dretext for precipitatng 8 bloody conflict. 1t
was a conspiracy against popular govern
meat, a revolt against the authority OF
government. Lse deserted the flag OF his
country. The ex-Confederates who display
ed the rebel flag to glorfy it were not true
to the parole granted at Appomstto1."
Mr.. Mason of Illinois said
Unjust earnestly protest against occur
repces in that fair southern city at the ur-
yelling of Gen. Lees statue yesterday. Let
zee say that the broad sky over our country
10 broad enough only for one flag. and that,
the stare and stripes, and when man waves
any che. Es s IN his heart as much traitor
as ne wss thirty years ago"
Mr.. Morse of Massachusetts said:
".Let nv right hand forget its cunning
and nv tongue cieave TO the roof OIL my
meu;h' when I make patriots and traitors
equal, or when l fail to discern between the
loyal 6olOlerS WHO Dsfhou Hnu 'A' W "
their lives in the defense of their country
and the traitors who fought to destroy r.
Each of the speakers referred to received
the most pronounced aud unanimous az
plause, the emphasis and unanlmity Of
which rose with equal pace with the intensi'
ty of the hate expressed for the people
whose lot was cast in the southern half @
the country. bscauae those people hal erected
monument 10 the memory of their reve'ed
leader AID waved before it the flag for which
he f-usht and lost, but which has made his
name immortal. The fact that these
speeches struck responsive chords in the
hearts of those who heard them, shows that
in one half of thu country the cruel wal
is not yet over.

tysbutg yesterday, said that when southern
people assert that Lincoln and Davis,
Grant and Lee, Logan aud Jackson were
equal, and that God alone knows which was
right. 1t Is sacrilegs of the vlest type and
needs rebuke" No intelligent southern
man ever said that Lincoln and Davis and
Grant and Lee, and Jackson and Logan were
equal" or ever thought so but all OF them
have said that God knows which was
right" And though southern men also
know, not one OF them, at the recent unveil-
ing OF the Lee statue, ever conceived the
idea of making invidious distinctions or OF
drawing comparisons between their leaders
and those of their enemies in the war be-
tween the States. They have too good taste.

Col ANDERSON. in his GRAFTON at the un'
yelling of the Lee statue, said:
LET the statue stand as o perpetual pre-
test against whatever is low and sordid In
our private aud public objects. Let IL
stand as memorial of personal honor that
never brooked stain of knightly valor
without thought of self; Of fsr-reaching
military genius unsoiled by ambition; OF he
roic constancy from which no cloud OF mis-.
fortune could ever hide the path Of duty"
Every word OF this is true, and, what's
more. the whole range of history does not
contain the name of another man of whom
the same words could be as truthfully III
tered. The United States would have cut
poor figure in the worlds history had it
not been for Virginia-the last OF the sister
hood to leave the iion she had done most
to cement, and, though she bore the brunt
OF the war, the only one that at Its
close was despoiled of her territory.
