AN INTERESTING INSIDE STATEMENT ABOUT
UNION WITH REPUBLICANS IN THE
LATE CAMPAIGN.
From private letter by Citizens Union ohices,
I agree with you that II would be desirable 70
have better relations with the Republican Party.
1t seems to me to contain as you say larger
percentage Of men of good will than any other
party. The difficulty In the campaign however, and
in the present administration OF the party In the
State, seems to be that the men OF good will''
have no voice in the conduct Of the party Mr..
Platts power still seems to be absolute. and hnd
scruples In him. and In his leadership OF the
party, which are lacking In Mr.. Croker
The thing which made II fundamentally impossi.
Bile In the late campaign to unite with the Repub.
lican machine was the absolute opposition OF pur.
pose between our movement and theirs. We want
ed good government and Plat did not We wanted
Civil Service Reform and he did not We wanted
the appointment Of heads OF the departments who

pointment OF politicians. We wanted to stand or
Strong's record and push the continuance OF sim
liar better policy. He wanted to repudiate that
record and be able TO assure his followers that u
would not be continued. He wanted to stand on The
machine record OF the Republican party In tn
State. az made last winter under Mr.. Platts own
dictatiou and We wanted to repudate that record

opinion OF our older as well our younger men,
that our purposes were too much opposed TO make
any formal union some candidate on whom the
two sides in conference should agree. other thnn
farce. do not believe that such union OF our
forces would have begun TO poll the vote that Is
represented by the addition OF the votes pollsd by
each OF us Independently.
The Republican Party ought to be the natural
ally Of any movement for good government and
has been frequently In the past. We only hope
that II will not weaken its agitation until thor.
ough reorganization has been accomplished. and
men are placed In leadership who have the
courage of their convictions and who have con-
victions worthy OF their courage.
am quite that some OF our young men
were much too rambumptious and cocksure and
have no doubt that their conduct was irritating.

THE SYMPHONY SOCIETY.

Mr. Walter Damrosch had his orchestra well IN
hand yesterday and, with the help Of NJ. Ysaye the
second afternoon concert Of the Symphony Society
was most enjoyable affair." marred only At inter.
walls by slips In intonaon on the part Of NJ Ysaye in
otherwise most admirable performance Of Beetho-
ven's concerto for violin. M. Ysaye has his moods,
like most great artists. and does not always soar
among the Clouds as he did at the concert Of the
Philharmonic Society. Rightly viewed. this fact
may aid him In the appreciation Of those who may
be getting a-weary Of reaching out for the ideal and
desperately concluding that some artists have other
advantages than those which talent. devotion and
industry ordinarily bring. re-emnently great a.

 How a Chinese workman manages to support his family and remain sleek and fat on the wages he receives is an ever lasting mystery to tie European and American. The Chinese are q people of marvellous economy, They will support family, furnishing food, clothes. shel- ter, from small garden which they ealI farm, but which il America would not more than furnish an Amer iean family with early vegetables.
 In cities the laboring men receive the meiest pittance. Jn Canton. where la borers are better paid than in other parts of China, skilled woTImen live on these wages: Shoemaker &l per month"; blacksmith, go per month; fine ivory carver, sig per month; tailor, S5 per month; fine omhroiderer, $4 per month; designer, SC per month silgersmith, &9 per month.
 The Chinese arc supershtious, and the workmen support, in addition to their temples and pagodas and priests, which receive more in proportion than the churches of Europe and America, idol makers. geomaneers, fortune tell CTS, physiogromists, soothsayers. astrol- egers and interpreters of dreams, who exist by thousands and coin all the mon ey they want Another thing which makes money for certain class is the Chinese custom of burning great quan- tities of spirit money, imitation coins, which are supposed to be legal tender for dead relatives One city alone employs 100, ,00o people in making this cash for ghosts.
 Peculiar supersuhons embarrass the workman. For instance, carpenters and builders have to exercise great care ia selecting ridgepole for a house. It must have neither cracks nor knots, and in 1t small hole must be made and filled with gold leaf and tho whole beam painted red. This iRsGres good luck for the owner of the house.
