A HOPEFUL VIEW.

No one who knows Ex-Mayor Abram
s. Hewitt will accuse him OF optimism.
But before he left for Europe last Sat
urday he drew very hopeful picture
OF affairs and Of the prospects for the
future In this country.
Mr.. Hewitt declares that the condi
ton Of mankind IL better to-day than
ever before; that labor gets higher
wages and the wage buys more: that
the world produces more than ever. and
It's products are more evenly divided.
The aggregate OF unemployed labor is
great. but 80 is the aggregate OF unem-
ployed capital. and when enterprise
sets the one free 1t will decrease the
other Mr.. Hewitt believes that the
settlement OF the tariff question has
already revived business, and that
activity will speedily succeed the recent
protracted inactivity.
Mr.. Hewitt says he does not sympa-
thize with personal attacks on such men
as Gilroy and Croker. They want good
government and are ready to do their
| best to secure It, but they also want
| Tammany to get the profit. and OF that
| the ex-Mayor does not approve. He de-
| sires reform from another direction. He
would restrict the suffrage and make
Judges appointive. and he considers the
British system OF government the best
now in existence"
As Mr.. Hewitt lays the blame OF our
municipal evils on the good citizens,
| the good business and professional mer
who are spoken of as the bone and sinew
OF our municipalities" and who have
sat supinely by while those municipali
ties have been and are governed by for
eigners." he will doubtless return home
before election. and as one of the new
Committee of Seventy do his best tC
remedy the Ills of which he complains.

THE NEW YORK NOT INJURED.
Her Great Draught Carried from
Dry Dock by n Big Tide.

big crowd of people gathered about
the dry dock in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard this morning to see the cruiser
New York floated out.
1t was feared that the vessel would
be damaged by scraping her keel on the
bottom of the dock as she went out.
Her draught is twenty-six feet eight
inches, and the dock Is ordinarily only
twenty-five feet six inches deep.
The extraordinary high tide, however,
permitted the New York to float out
with clearance of thirteen inches. 1t
is not thought that she touched any
