Foolish Criticism of the Rich.

Nothing is so easy as to divert the
attention of community like New York
from a real issue to a fictitious one.
Thus, at moment when some hard

the people of New York from five to ten
millions of dollars a year on their light
bills, a most excellent clergyman COM

Even the eminently yirtuous and
highly respectable Seth Low finds him
self compelled TO admit that the at
tempt at paternalism in New York Ia a
failure. Mr.. Low says that where the
Raines law falls to apply TO New York,
II fails because IL does not take into
account the character of the city. New
York, he says, while Enthusiastically
an American city Is also. AS the Ger
mans say. a world city"
Seth Low is either platltudinarian
when he talks about the rights and
convictions OF others" or he means TO
convey 10 the electors his belief that
laws which are too restrictive as TO a
mans personal habits and recreations
do not meet with his approval. He
says that men of every sort of up
bringing must be able to live in such a
city happily and with due regard TO
the rights and convictions of Others"
II may be asked OF any candid man
what Seth Low means when he says
this. He is held up 10 us a model of
what mayor should be: nobody will
cast any aspersion upon his integrity
or his truthfulness. When, therefore
he declares that the Raines law is a
failure. because it interferes with the
rights and convictions OF others. have
We not authority for saying that the po-
sition the Post-Intelligeneer has taken
on this subject is none the less correct
because IL has defined that position in
plain language and has not sought TO
conceal its real meaning behind high
sounding phrases which were intended
TO tickle one class and deceive an
other?

sented an attempt on the part of one

tude for concessions. The Republican
party undertook TO make a straight
laced city Of New York, and the en-
