Ponderous Purses of Pompeii

A man may have ponderous purse

classes are obliged of necessity to
do this, but those who are bet

purchasing goods and pay big retail
prices for articles that they might buy
for one half their original costs, or less.
You ask how is this. Well, there are

ANOTHER MUNICIPAL MYSTERY.

Mavor Grant denies that Mr.. Richard Croker
is to be appointed Police Justice. III the re-
port is false denial is proper but the manner
of the Mayors refritation is rather peculiar
He is quoted as saying: "The story IS silly,
ridiculous and don't like to be bothered with
snch things while the weather is so hot and
hnmjd as it is at present" Very likely the
report is without foundation, but why is it silly
and ridiculous? What does the Mayor meanP
His irritation would seem to imply that the
offer of a judicial office with salary OF $4,000
q year attached to it would be an aifront TO
Mr.. Croker. but we are unable to see 1t in that
LIGHT. Prince Bismarck might suspect the Ger
man Emperor Of a wish to humliate him, II he
were asked to accept Clerkship in the Treas
ury Department. But this is not just criterion,
for their relations are somewhat strained
whereas the Tammany Committee OF twenty
Four have Just declared having been called TO-
pether in midsummer for that express purpose
that the Mayor and Mr.. Croker are Kept TO-
gether by indissoluble ties of love and admlia-
ton. John Quincy Adams did not think him.
self demeaned by sitting in the House OF hepre-
scntatives after being President OF the UNITED
States, and we do not know any reason why an
OK. Chamberlain of New-Yorh should disdain to
sit rnon bench which Diver makes illustrl-
Gus.
There is. to be sure no ground for supposIn9
that Mr. Croker needs an addition OF 9o'Voo
TO his income His resources are sufficient 70
support him in luxury abroad or at home as
his fancy dictates. But yet, statesman In inc
nrimc Of life and full of vigor must always find
delight in exercising his powers in a large way
for the benefit of humanity, and thus impress
ing his intellect and character upon the age In
which he lives. To do this is indeed to be
nobly COMPENSATED for toll and trouble. 1t is
NOT reasonable to suppose that Mr. Croker i
Indifferent to such opportunities and sucn re-
wards. and we must assume therefore, that he
has not conveyed to the Mayor an intlmauon
that he should feel constrained to sheer at the
offer of Police-Justiceshp
Again, it is not conceivable that Mayor Grant
has derived from admiring contemplation OF
Mr.. Cookers superlatiye achievements III other
fields of activity mistrust OF his fitness Tor

a citizen of New-York who is more perfectly
qualified by temperament and experience 70

doubtless embrace the earliest opportunity to

ors Of hotter employment and wages hereafter
for since the making of tin-pates is not possible
in This country, there can be no competition to
nrovont Welsh makers from charging whatever
tbov nleose and that eminent and infallible
Democratic authority, Mr.. Cleveland, has in
formed the world that the duty is always added
70 the cost. TEMPLATES did cost SIS so when the
duty of IL cents per pound was added, about
81 30 additional duty per box, so that the plates
must sell here at $50 go or more, for Mr.. Cleve-
land cannot be mistaken.
II is true uncomfortable facts which the unas-
sisted human reason cannot reconcile with this
theory are coming to light. The brief answer OF
Mr. Seamans, of the firm of Wyckoff, Seamans
&, pcnedict, was troublesome TO the theorists.
He stated that his last consignment of tin-pates,
inst received. had cost an eighth Of cent per
mound less than the same quality had cost under
the old duty. This would appear to indicate
that the British producers were not getting the
old price, but less than the old price by the full
amount of additional duty and little more, and
in short, that they are paying the whole increase
of duty and an eighth of a cent more in order not
to lose the sale of their goods. But if this were
true they must he very silly, because The Even
ing POST assures them that no tin-plate can be
made here, and besides the assertion cannot be
made true because Mr.. Cleveland has discovered
and announced that the duty is always paid by
the consumer. No well regulated Democratic
mind will pay the slightest attention to facts
which conflict with the theories of an authority
so eminent. If there is disagreement, so much
the worse for the facts.

FACTS rs. THEORIES.

Dispatches from Europe to Democratic papers
have incidentally mentioned that thousands OF
tin-pla.e workers in Wales are preparing to leave
for this country. But how can this be true ?
Why should they come here if, as Democratic
papers insist, there are no tin-plate works in the
United States. and none can be made profitable?
What dismal state of things it would be for
them to come all the way to this country only to
find that all their training and skill and knOwl-
edge could not possibly coat iron or steel sheets
with tin. as they do in the Old World. The mis-
guided men, not having access to MugWUmp
journals of NewYolk, may imagine that they
can work in this country as they do in Wales
and with as good results. Somebody ought
piolSly to send them copies Of "The Evening
POST in which it has been so irrefragby
demonstrated. to the satisfaction of the editors,
that the manufacture of tin-plates i'll this cOun-
try is simply impossible and that every pre-
tended attempt to that end is fraud
1t comes to he conflict Of testimony. No one
can believe that thousands of wel-Organized
workers in tin-pate establishments in Wales are
starting off across the ocean blindly, without any
investigation or knowledge that there will be
work for them here. The fact is that there has
been much careful inquiry by Welsh representa-
tiveS Of the workers who visited this country by
Welsh manufacturers who came hither to ascer-
tain the feasibility of transferring works to the
United States, and by American manufacturers
who thought of attempting the work. Evidence
has been accumulated by all these, which has
doubtless been made known to workers in Wales.
and on which they are acting. On any other
theory, their conduct would be absurd. But if
they have really gathered all this information,
how sad it is that the infaIlibe " Evening POST
was not first permitted to enIighten them, for Of
course it cannot be that all the manufacturers and
all the workers are right and that 1.-THE Even

THE REPORT or THEIR MARRIAGE GENERALLY
DIsCREDrTgD.
A report was published yesterday that Mrs. James
Brown Potter and Kyre Bellew had been recently
married in Hong Kong The report says that ths
marriage took place inst before the steamship Belgia
sailed from that port for san Francisco 1t also stated
that a cable dispatch had bsen sent TO MPs. Potter

divorce in her Absence whereupOn she at once married

West End Hotel at Long Branch and Mr. Howe Is at
the Fort William Henry Hotel at Lake George. I feel
confident that II they had received any word from
Kyrie Bellew in regard to his marriage with Mrs
Potter ] should have heard Of IT,"
Franklin Bartlett is the legal adviser Of Mrs Potter.
He said al do not believe that the report is true.
1t is inherently improbable have never heard OF
any divorce having been obtained by Mr. Pot
ter ncr even Of divorce proceedngngs hav-
ing been begun on either SIDE The last
time I talked with Mr.. Potter about HIS wife, which
was within year, he left under the impression that
their relations pleasant heard from Mrs Potter
In June. She sent me lot OF newspaper clippings
about her trip through india but no reference Wa
made 10 any divorce any contemplated marriage.
1t is altogether improbable that divorce proceedings
could have been undertaken and the fact not have
been made public, and so much comment has been
made recently on colnsve divorce proceedings that no
reputable lawyer would have helped 10 suppress the
facts. Mr.. Potters residence is at Tuxedo in this
State. Mrs Potter is bird Of passage, and never
hoard OF her having residence elsewhere than here
Thus proceedings wonld have been begun here, and
not likely that the public would not have heard Of
them IL such had been the case.
"And besides, you know, We cannot assume that
there has been any ground for divorce. Don't forget
that" .

MIR. Edmund Yates's satirical comments IN the
cable dispatch printed in to-day's TRIBUNE on
tho nresent British naval manoeuvres will be
read appreciatively in this country. The most
curious thing about the British Navy is that the
older il grows the further it gets from perfec-
ton. It seems queer that other nations should
lead in frightening the efficiency of an inshtu-
ton so peculiarly British. Yet the tight little
island has been drawn on to the construction
of mammoth armorclads by such second-rate
Power as Italy. France and Spain have each
surpassed her in evolving novel torpedo-boats,
and no British armor- plate has ever approached
that lately tested in this country IN either
strength or durability. The mysterious tor
pedo-cstchers" must be awesome engines IN
deed, if, like the Chicago ailships, they are
not to be used for fear of breaking down.

FELIX. THE PARIS DRESSMAKER- TRIED TO DE-
FRAUD THE GOVERNMENT.
The Acting Collector Of the Port Of New-York yes
terday ordered that the two now famous dressing
gowns imported by Mrs. william Aston be seized.
They were brought here on La (iascOghe November
10, 1890, and were made in Paris by Felix They
were consigned by him 20 Baldwin Brothers, the foreign
expressmen The exceedingly low value set them
in the invoice, 1000 francs attracted the attention
of the customs officials and the dresses held After
a thorough investigation the Collector has raised the
valuation TO 1904 80. This. with the duty, s416 So.
makes their total value 81 Ill 90.
Mrs. Astor refuses TO pay the increase. She proves
that she has been swndIed by Felix and that she had
nothing whatever to do with undervalution, and was
ignorant OF IL until the discovery was made at the
Custom House. Mrs. Astor bought the dresses and
paid for them in Paris at their full value She also
paid 10 Felix in advance of their shipment the whole
duty as now assessed By the Collector. 1t was
simply an attempt tho part of Felix TO defraud the
Government Of the duty. The Collector will before
the United States Distrlct-Attorney to-day and begin
suit TO find out who is responsible for the fraud Bald
win Brothers are not blamed. but they will have TO
show who is at fault The dresses were invoiccd as
