SINCE its defeat last fall the Repub-
lican party has made no official state
ment. The National Committee has not
held meeting, and there has been no
body In session that had authority TO
speak for the Republican party as a
whole. Interest in the coming conven-
tion of the Republican National League
was increased by the knowledge that it
would be the first semi-official gathering
since last years disaster. Now that it
is known that the Republican National
Committee is to come together at the
same time the fact adds Importance and
significance to the event. The Commit
tee being the official head of the party,
the result of its deliberations will re-
ceive the close attention of Republicans
all over the country.

Whit Denomination?

Jay Cooke, in 1866, told the follow
ing: "One day, when 1 was putting
Government bonds upon the market,
l was greatly annoyed by the clerks
telling me that there was an old man
in the office who would do no business
with them and must see me. To get
rid of him 1 went out Said he:
"'Mr. Cooke, l have got $1,000 in
gold in this bag. l can't do anything
with it in the town where l live; they
are circulating grocers' checks and
everything else but money, and I am
frightened because 1 think l will be
cheated if j dispose of it. VIII you
tell me on your word of honor IL these
bonds are sound and right?'
Il replied: If they are not right,
nothing is right. I am putting all 1
have in the world into them
After further conversation the man
concluded to take them.
"What denomination will you have
them in?' l asked.
This was too much for the man.
He had never heard that word used
in connection with business. He
scratched his head, and said:
"You may give me five hundred in

old woman; but will take the heft of
it in Baptist"

Of the patriot spy is good one. 1t
affords the strongest possible lesson
in patriotism. Every line of the figure
speaks of heroic sacrifice and defiance.
The cord-bound ankles. the pinloned
arms, the fearless countenance, and
the defiant poise of the head, all tell
the tale of devoted patriotism.
A prominent local politician, In COM
menting on the public interest In this
new statue. said: zone of the most
significant signs of the times is the
patriotism of the people of this city.
OF course, New York was always patri-
Otic. but the tendency towards pub
lie manifestation of this sentiment was
never greater than now. 1t seems to
be n sort of reaction from the sectional
patriotism of the civil war. Just now
the people are deeply interested in
everything relating to the revolutionary
period"
The Society of the Sons of the Revo-
1ution may be congratulated on their
effort to arouse an interest In old
fashioned patriotism. The Hale statue
is not their only contribution to a re-
vival of interest in local historic events.
Memorial tablets have been placed In
various parts of the city, commemorate
ing colonial and revolutionary events.
Among the spots already thus desig-
mated are the old Washington headquar-
tiers in Bowling Green, the spot where
the lead statue of King George was
pulled down by colonial patriots; the
corner of John and William streets,
where the first blood of the revolu-
ton was shed June g, ITO, in a con-
f1ict between Sons of Liberty and Brit

and Laight streets, where Washington
landed in the city in 1775. Tablets
have also been dedicated uptown COM
memorating the battle of Harlem and
other interesting events.
The opening of the Third avenue

the history Of New York This is the
main artery of travel in the city, and
has been for the past thirty years. 1t
n pleasant TO note the success which
has attended the introduction of cable
cars In this city. The local press has
had much to say of accidents on the
Broadway line, but it must be remem-
bered that the cable cars relieved that
thoroughfare of the terrible lam that
was so dangerous in the past. While
there have been quite number of
accidents by the cable cars, the deaths
OF persons in attempting to cross
Broadway have been greatly dimin-
