Ruins at a Discount.

The recent demolition of the little log house
on Penn avenue, Williamsburg, and OF the
Kelley mansion, known as the "stone house."
two years ago, leaves but one landmark in the
borough-the old tavern below the railroad, on
Penn avenue, at which, according to tradition,
John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Daniel Web
ster and Lafayette found rest and entertain
ment. In this utilitarian age everything must
yield TO progress and Improvement. This is
not vandalism. These historic places represent
nothing but a sentiment, and their removal is
necessary to keep the city in line with the busi.
ness requirements of the times. Ruins and
progression are incompatible.

Refuses to Sell.

1t has been whispered for month or two
that the Conley property, corner OF Seventh
Penn, was under consideration as an available
sight in point of location fo- a hotel. There is
little in the story. Mrs. Conley, who has life
interest in the property. refuses to sell at any
thing like fair price in the estimation of buy
ers. Some time ago she asked 100000. 1t is
understood she has receded to $4,000, but even
the latter figure is sufficient to block the sale
Of the property for hotel purposes or any other.

Made q Mistake.

There was large crop of business prophets
early in the year who predicted dire disaster to
all lines of trade, and real estate in particular
Events have demonstrated that these people
mistook the shadow for the substance. Busi-
ness is all right. Real estate was never in bet
ter condition. A few buyers who took stock
in the opinions of the prophets and withdrew
from the market in anticipation of collapse
in values have discovered their mistake and are
again in the field. 1t is folly to talk of the
downfall of real estate so long as the demand
for houses and lots at fair prices is greater
than the supply.

The Grant Monument Association
is making a special effort to complete
the monument, to be erected to the
memory of the venerated leader, now
sleeping peacefully at Riverside Park
on the Hudson. The plan has been
decided upon, and when the structure
is completed, it will certainly be one
Of the handsomest tributes of it's kind
in the world, and will have position
second to none in prominence.
AS this monument is to stand as a
mark of appreciation from the entire
nation, an emblem of an independent
people who honor and respect their
heroes, it is but fitting that everyone,
should he SO desire, can contribute to
this most worthy cause. The execu-
tive committee therefore have decided
that contributions shall be solicited
from every town and hamlet in the
United States, and in order to faciE-
tate this object and make such sub
scription popular one, they have
made arrangements for the publica-
ton and sale of FL. A. Ogden's cele-
brated painting of General Grant in
the field, entitled 1866" 1t is hand
some piece of work, and should be in
every household in this broad land.
The subscription price of the pic
ture is only ST., sent postpaid, and can
be had by addressing Grant Monu-
ment Association, z Laight str't, New
York City.
We gladly cooperate with the rom.
mittee in it's effort to secure addition
al subscriptions, and we trust our
readers will come forward and sub
aid this worthy cause.

In point Of intelligence and USE
fulness and all that goes to make up
a great family the Adams family may
be put down as the grandest family
American has ever had. To follow
Samuel Adams, John Adams, John
Quicey Adams and Charles Francis
Adams down to the Charles Francis
Adams and John Quincy Adams of to-
day, says the Boston Herald, is to
tell a nations history. People know
it by heart. The Hon. Charles Fran
els Adams, Jr., but recently President
of the Union Pacific, was born in
Quincy, May 27, 1885. He gradua-
ted from Harvard in 1856, and was
admitted to practice at the bar two
years later. He sustained the patri-
otism of his ancestry by enlisting in
the late war, and came out brevet
brigadier general Of volunteers. On
his return from the army he began
making a speciality of railroad law,
and this led him to railway invest
ments that proved very profitable. In
1884 he was elected President of the
Union Pacific, and resigned in 1890.
Mr.. Adams is an Overseer of Harvard
University, member of the Massachu
sets Historical Society, and Fellow
of the American Academy. In June,
1888, he delivered the Phi Beta
Kappa Grafton at Harvard on 'sThe
Study of Greek as College Fetich,"
and the address attracted wide atten-
ton,
And the TRIBUNE would add that it
may be truthfully said that Abigail
Adams, (mother of the first John
Quincy Adams, the "Old Man Elo-
quent, y was the foremost woman of
our land. With such a father and
mother as John and Abigail, it is not
surprising that their offspring should
rank among the ablest people of our
country.

and the facts verified be-
yond eayil or question. Itwas ordered
by Gen. Hancock, and took place un-
der his eye. A Confederate division
composed of five thousand men-or
hereabouts-was marching at critical
moment to occupy one of the vital
positions on that historic field. Gen.
Hancock had ordered up division of
troops, but they were slow in coming,
and every moment of time was prec-
ious beyond all comparison. The
First Regiment was the only body of
troopson hand. Itmustered, rank and
file, all told, some three hundred and
sixty-odd men. The order came short,
sharp and decisive: "What regiment

Then occurred an epic in action
Three hundred and sixty men fixed
bayonets as though a secret spring OF
some complicated machine had peen

necessary-but how many souls that
word spoke into eternity. Col. Colville
gave the command "charge!-and
like the gentle whirlwind of summer
breeze hurrying to meet the destroy
ing cyclone, that little band of mel
swept onward into the embrace of the
thousands that confronted them.
Three hundred and sixty men start
ed upon that charge. Ninety-four only
answered to their names when thu
roll was next called. All the rest wer'
killed and wounded. None were miss

before the other gentleman could re-

Some one, who for some reason fails

Some one, who for some reason fails
to give us his name, but signs himself
"a Morris Democrat sends us the
following clipping from some un-
known newspaper, giving the list OF
articles on which taxes have been
raised by the Mckinley bill:
Free sugar, is well but, the Ameri-
ern people know the fearful price they
were called upon to pay for it. The
law which abolished the tax on raw
sugar raised the taxes in every other
tariff schedule an average of 33a per
cent.
AS part of the cost of free sugar
the duty on beef, mutton and pork
was raised 100 per cent; on building
stone hooper cent; on ingram carpets
more than so per cent; on woollen
clothing over SO per cent; on fannels
the same; on glassware and lamp
chimneys SO per cent; on handker-
chiefs nearly 60 per cent: on tin 'o'oto"
nearly 40 per cent. And SO on
the list-higher faxes and
! tii1oagh al the schedules,
Still the fact sticks out as plain as
the trunk of an elephant that every
article named above, except perhaps
carpeting land that but slightly has
not advanced in price. AS regards
the duty on beef, mutton and pork,
that is in favor of the farmer. Wool
len clothing is cheaper now than it
has been at any time during the last
forty years, to our certain knowledge.
We all know how the Democratic
party was cavorting around last fall
with tin pail tied to its tail and bawl-
ing itself hoarse with the cry that the
poor mans dinner pail was being so
heavily taxed that he could not afford
to carry one after the Mckinley bill
went into effect, and yet the poor man
never discovered the advance in price
on that same pail. And as far as
glassware is concerned, why, merch-
ants give it away whenever you buy
can of baking powder. Now, then
Mr.. Morris Democrat If you will name
any one article that is manufactured
in this country and has been steadily
protected by tariff for two success
i've presidential administrations, we
will show you that same article has
gradually decreased in price. And
that is why we are in favor Of a pro-
tective tariff.
