Who Is It2

Some eminent and hungry anti-snapper
has pulled upon Mr.. CLEVELAND In the
Herald an imaginative and absurd YER
sion Of the Victoria Hotel dinner. with
tho evident intention that tho Presi-
dent shall now stand and deliver the
offices to this hungry statesman and his
followers. When he ascribes to Mr.. CLEvE-
nANp feeling OF regret ut not having al
, lowed an anti-snapper ticket to be run
against Tammany Hall last November, no
shows that possibly the" intimate friend OF
Mr.. CLEVELAND" who Is credited with the
story. may DO the Hon. WILLIAM r. GRACE.
the chief advocate OF tho descriptive line OF
policy which Mr.. CLEVELAND sternly sat
upon ut that time. Another feature or two
OF tho tale. unnecessary to specify now. will
serve to corroborate the suggestion that
Mr.. GRACE may be its author.
From sheer delay in the appointment
OF Democrats to the important Federal
Offices In New York. some politicians
think they feel tho shivers OF anxiety that
usually precede tho moment for some
thing to drop. Mr.. GRACE. n resourceful
politician and diplomatic journalist. re-
sorts to the republication OF the anti
snapper reports Of the Victoria Hotel din
ner. In the hope. doubtless. Of constrain-
ing the great giver OF patronage. tho Hon.
GROVER CLEVELAND. to let it fall on the
anti-snappcr side.

Send Them to Sea.

Secretary HERBERT has offered fine OPP
portunity for drill and instruction to the
Naval Reserves OF New York and Massa-
chusetts by proposing to give them weeks
tour Of duty on the ships Of the North At
lantic squadron this summer.
Last year and the year before, useful work
was done by the Massachusetts battalion at
Deer Island and elsewhere in Boston har-
Dor. by the New Workers in their waters.
and by the North Carolininns at Norfolk.
vessels of the navy assisting. There was
drilling at the great guns and at secondary
batteries; there were boat exercises. prac-
tice with torpcdocs and with search lights.
and there wero landing parties. But it Is
now proposed to put ashore from each ves-
sci assigned to this duty certain portion OF
the crew. and to supply their places with an
equal number Of the naval militia. thus en-
ploying the latter both In routine and spe-
cial ship service. II Is obvious that no bet
ter way OF habituating them to the ordi-
nary life on shipboard could be found than
by treating them as so many recruits. oc-
cupying tho regular quarters provided for
tho men. and conforming to all the rules,
regulations. and duties.
The value Of the naval militia organiza-
tion as source OF reliance in case of emer-
gency Is beyond question. Although only
few years old. it is already established in
nino or ten States: and movements are in
progress to establish it in several others,
either on the seaboard or the lakes Since
one OF the objects OF the State militia or
National Guard Is to aid and supplement
the regular forces should war be threatened
by foreign country. there is every reason
why it should furnish auxiliaries to the
navy as we'll as to the army. It is we'll
known that the former. even with the addi-
tional number Of apprentices lately author
lied. has too few mon to furnish full COM
PIGMENTS for the ships built and building.
On the outbreak of war. to these ships
would be added many vessels drawn from
the merchant marine and fitted up as
cruisers or torpedo boats. Trained and
skilled gunners would be needed for such
vessels. and the naval militia would be
largely relied upon to furnish them.
The interest manifested by Secretary
TRACY in this organization. and now con-
tinued by Secretary HERBERT. must be OF
great service in increasing its numbers as
well as promoting its efficiency. 1t ought
to be formed in every State that has q
water front requiring naval defence.

IN New York, the ward and city boundaries

The Court OF Appeals did not pass
upon this claim. 1t ignored 1t. setting
aside the Assembly apportionment on the

Brooklyn Supervisors have made new APP

OF Appeals. seventeen OF tho eighteen ore

even IL united tremendously and acting
vigorously. could expect to do no better
this year than Inst. when In ono district
they were distracted by fractional divisions.
In order to secure seventeen Democratic
districts out OF the eighteen allotted to
Kings 1t was necessary to Ignore ward

of such province or country with respect to
provisions concerning religion within its
territory. So far as the Federal Govern
nont Is concerned, that. az we know, is de-
barred from touching tho matter. by the
first amendment to the Constitution, which
declares that Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof. That
limitation on the powers of Congress is
largely due to tho course taken by North
Carolina, which. MS is well known, TO

Carolina was determined to reserve TO itself

In North Carolina, as in Virginia. the
Church Of England was by law established
up to tho outbreak OF tho Revolution, and
the abolition Of it was one Of tho first stems
taken III each State by the Convention called
to frame constitution. That a majority
OF the inhabitants Of North Carolina were
Dissenters through tho greater part of tho
colonial epoch is proved by the extreme diff

that state Printer Lyon had charged for :}S7

State Printer and involved charge Of negli-

Brooklyn Politics.

The Republicans OF Brooklyn are not
easily pleased in the matter Of apporton-
ments. Though the voters of every other
county Of the State have settled down to an
acknowledgement Of the existing appor-
tionment. as sustained by the Court OF
Appeals In October. the Republicans Of
Kings are still disputing over the district
divisions: and they gained something Of q
victory few weeks ago when the Court Of
Appeals set aside the apportionment OF last
year on the ground that there was more than
an accidental disparity in the population OF
the districts as apportioned by the Brooklyn
Supervisors. Such was undoubtedly tho
fact. shown from tho circumstances that In
the two districts mapped out rs Rcpubli-
can. the total vote was 10000 and 1900 re-
spectively. while one Of the Democratic dis
triots had q total OF 5.4o0. another a total of
A200. another. ono OF 5000. and two vote
OF 1900 each. This division OF districts
was unfair. numerically. to tho Republic
cans. and they aggravated its injustice
by factional dispute I'm their strongest
district. with the result that seventeen OF
tho eighteen members from Kings In tho
last Assembly were Democrats. The Con-
sutution OF the State says that the Senate

Senator PErrIGREw OF South Dakota pro-
poses to raise revenue for the Government
bv levying n special and prohibtive tax
on great estates.
II would allow the possessor a certain
sum-" he says. land put tax OF. say. 50
per cent. on the rest" but ms by SO doing
he would render the accumulation of vast
fortunes impossible" what would become
of his revenue from thcm' After having
killed the goose that laid the golden egg,
that source of profit would be gone.
When Senator PRTrIGREw WAS asked
what certain sum" ho would allow tho
possessor OF wealth, whether. for instance.
$4,000 900 is enough. he replied that it Is
far too much. Probably $1,000 or, nj most.
100000, Is sufficient capital to yield m
income us largo rs the average Income
OF the people OF ChS country, and he might
not think It fair oil around to allow more
than the greater sum: and his purpose in
Imposing tho 80 per cont. tax being to raiSe
revenue, the larger the number of fortunes
to which it applied tho more productive it
would he, according to his theory.
Moreover. his aim in lcvylng tho tax is.
sccondary. To discourage the accumula-
ton Of money. and the best way to accom-
pliSh that end Is to take the small piles
which are the beginnings of large ones. A
man in getting together his first few thou
sands is likely to acquire tho habits and the
capacity which enable him arterward to
roll up big fortune. Nearly every great
American fortune WAS started In that way.
1t began with small savings. and il those
had been coaiiscated by the Government.
not oQe OF the largest estates In the Union
would have been accumulated
That is tho principle which governs the
extreme Socialists in their opposition to
savings banks. They want to eradicate
til" disposition OF humanity TO lay by
stores for rainy day: thus they want to
increase poverty. SO that the only remedy
for 1t will be State socialism. Nobody
having any money. all the capital WI! DO in
the hands OF the State, according To their
theory. and hence everybody will have to
60 to the public crib for support.
That 10 what Senator PErCIaRKW's theory
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1893-06-16

comes to. OF course. II men are not allowed
10 accumulate money for themselves, they
will not accumulate IL at ALL They will not
delve and strive and worry to got 1t for the
benefit OF the Government. Private and
individual enterprise will cease. and then
the taxable resources OF the people will be
insufficient for the progress and purposes
OF civilization. Every rich man and every
man ambitious to get rich. or the whole
body OF the entcrprislng citizens. would fly
from n country which adopted Senator
PETr1aREw's plan. it would be reduced to
the level of barbarism. The great clvlllzing
and invigorating forces would be gone.
Instead Of discouraging the Instinct OF
accumulation, the welfare OF society re-
quires that 1t should be stimulated. for 1t Is
an Indication Of progress in civilization and
In the virtues preventative OF civilization.
At present. comparatively few men In
generation accumulate money. The great
mass spend rs they go along. and they
have not the ability 10 gather fortunes.
Hence they remain the servants of those
who can gather them. In an ideal socl-
ETY.. everybody would be rich. everybody
would have q store laid by; and the real
ization OF that ideal In the far distant
future Is made possible by the cultivation
and the transmission OF the traits apt for the
accumulation OF wealth, which are possessed
by steadily increasing number Of men.
Wealth is blessing and not n curse. a
blessing to him who has 1t and to all So
ciety. The store laid up is not merely for
private benefit. 1t is for the benefit Of the
whole: for it must be used In enterprises
essential for the progress OF mankind.
