AN ENGLISH VIEW OF MR.. CARNEGIEs
LETTER

I,ondon. Jan. s-"The Globe" to-day comments
upon the letter Of Andrew Carnegie to The New
York Tribune. written just before his departure
from New-York last week for Europe. In which he
argued in favor of the Wilson Tariff BILL The
PAPER says that agrees with the reasons advanced
by Mr. Carnegie, and adds that the time has ar
rived for a Democratic Republican compromise
England II further says Is only less interested IN
the matter than the United States, whose financial
troubles are largely the Of trade depression
in England; but. 1t adds. unless important con-
&c ssions are made, the bill Is not likely TO pass
''The Globe adds that 1t regrets President Cleve-
lands autocratic temper. and says that his stone
question is not justiabe because there Is not
a preponderance Of popular opinion In favor OF the
bill Unless he agrees TO compromise President
Cleveland will. 1t declares. be blamed for the delay
in the return Of prosperity.

Of honest and competent business men to all the
public offices Of New-York Is looked upon In all
parts of the city noticeable straw. indicating
the awakening OF the voters Of this city to the
municipal situation. The action Of the courts in
transferring sales Of property In which the city
is interested from the Real Estate Exchange to the
salesroons Of Meyer & Croker. In the Trinity
Building. No. Ill Broadway. has undoubtedly proved
a cause of irritation to members of the Exchange
and their customers. They regard II as most
unwarrantable exercise Of political power on Mr.:
Croker's part AS viewed by real estate men Of
the Exchange, the transfer to Trinity Building or
than to Increase the business of Richard Croker
and his real estate partner, Peter F. Meyer and to
bring them gains at the expense OF the other
dealers. The act Of transfer seems an outrage pure
and simple. when 1t is remembered that the Ex-
change was established more than ten years ago
mainly for the purpose Of creating centre for
dealings In real estate and to unite the various
real estate and building interests In this city Ger
talnly II must be considered the proper place for
sales Of city property and undoubtedly the best
interests OF the city would be cared for by having
them held there.
