certain celebrated petition. which was pre-
sented to ex-Gov. Aitgeld, of Illinois, not
many years ago, praying the governor to
pardon out OF the Illinois penttentiary the
anarchists Of the Haymarket.
No information upon this point has been
obtainahle from Gov. Altgeld himself,
though he has animated that there may be
information OF some sort connected with
the circumstance, by saying that, what
ever the nature OF this petition, and what
ever the weight OF the names that adorned
it. il was a private and not public mat
ter, the secret of which he would never
divulge Mr.. Gage is now very much in the
public eye The occasionis opportune. Let
hiIa make a confession of this sort.
Mr.. Field is comparatively obscure. Mr..
Gage is not. IL the Secretary OF the
Treasury-elect is partly responsible for the
pardon OF anarchists, and especially il
wrong. no matter how small, has been done
TO Mr.. Altgeld. it will be fitting time
for Mr. Gage TO admit it.

MIR. GAGE's ENGLISH

The dispatches report that when the Hon.
Lyman Gage, Of Chicago, had concluded
that there could be no further doubt OF his
appointment as Secretary Of the Treasury
he said:
cit will be my chief aim to see that the
country is given businessllike admins
tration."
He said other things, but this was the
most important utterance OF all, and it is
chiefly important because it discovers Mr..
Cages woeful lack OF knowledge Of good
English. 1t may be, OF course, that he is in
correctly quoted, but we assume not We
assume that he said that the country should
he given busInesslike administration; and
we should like to ask Mr.. Gage, and he
might as well stand up and tell us now,
whether IL isn't business like ddministra-
ton OF the Treasury that is to be given to
the country, and not the country that is e.
be given to a businessliEe administration
And, further, while Mr.. Gage is on the
stand, he might say whether his name, as
well as that of the Hon. Marshall Field, OF
Chicago, and OF dozens, perhaps OF hun
dreds of other noted bankers, merchants
and publicists of that town, did not adorn a

Real Estate Values i'm New York.

Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, has
paper on Places in New York. in the
February Century Speaking of the rapid
increase of value OF real estate in that
city, Mrs. Van Rensselaer, says: Two
miles from the city hall? Very much
farther away than this stands the new
Herald Building, where Broadway and
Sixth avenue intersect. In 1S45 the city
owned its site, and sold it for $3.50. The
Herald now pays rent for it--for the land
alone-at the rate of $6O,0o0 a year. At
the same sale fifty years ago corner
lot on Fifth avenue and Forty sec ond
street brought $1,400, and in 1910 four
hundred lots on Fifth avenue above TWEEN
tieth street, were sold at prices ranging
from $500 TO $500. Within twenty years
some OF these were sold for 81 900 each,
and you may guess their present worth
for yourself, remembering that business
and business values have now moved into
this region also. Less than twenty years
ago a much more northerly district, be-
tween Fifty-nnth and One Hundred and
Tenth streets, west OF Eighth avenue, would
have shown Y GU little but rocks andpuddles
and predatory goats and boys. Now much
more than half its surface is covered with
buildings, all OF very good class, AMI
their estimate cost has been $40 900 600.

NEW ENGLAND'soBJBCT Lesson.

NEW ENGLAND'SO OBJECT LESSON.
The salutary object lesson of hard times.
which was to teach the people the value
Of a sound money currency, has worked so
Thoroughly that it has become post grad
uate course too profound in its curriculum
for even the ganoid digestion Of some of
its authors.
Among other results OF the educational
exposition the disastrous effect of it upon
the West, at length appears to have APP
pealed to New England as neither pleasant
nor profitable, although New England in
fluence was strongly for the object lesson
at the start. Such considerations are fore
ing down-Eastern sentiment in the direc-
ton ofreform. Ithas notreached the stage
of belief in the Nations power and ability
TO manage its own financial policy, but
now is. like Major Mckinley, anxious
to do something for silver" through pc
tition to our Europeanmoney masters for an
international agreement. 1t hugs the pos
sibility that France and Russia might
kick loose from England to oblige us, but
views with alarm any kicking on our part
Friends of Americanism in money and
policy will do no harm in letting these
awakening sinners try their smooth and
easy plan of salvation. 1t can only result
in showing them the hopeless and sui
phurous abyss toward which we have been
driven with their aid. Let them try their
monetary conference panacea, and when
it has failed andall of us have been exposed
to further snubbing and contempt from
over the water, perhaps the old indie
pendent Puritan bloodmay ferment enough
to boil them over to the patriot side of OPP
position to foreign interference with our
monetary system, and determination to
run our own business.

A Southern Woman's Quick Returt
to the Union General

to the Union General.
In the February Century, Gen. Horace
Porter, in his Campaigning with Grant"
describes the visit of his chief to the
home of Mrs. Tyler, whose husband was
colonel in the Confederate army. Gen.
Porter then tells the following anccdote:
We could see that she was entertaining
views which everyw here prevailed in the
South The authorities naturally put the
best face upon the matters, and the news
papers tried to buoy up the people with
false hopes. 1t was not surprising that
the inhabitants OF the remote parts or the
country were in ignorance of the true
progress of the war. Gen. Grant replied
in quiet way; Gen. Sherman is certainly
advancing rapidly in that direction; and
while do not wish to be communicates of
news which may be unpleasant to you, /
have every reason to believe that Rom
is by this time in his possession The
older lady then assumed bantering tone,
and became somewhat excited and defiant
in her manne.. and the younger one joined
with her in scouting the idea that Rome
could ever be taken. Just then courier
rode up with dispatches from Washington
containing telegram from Sherman. Gen
Grant glanced over It, and then read IL to
the staff Ii announced thatSherman had
lust captured Rome. The ladies had
caught the purport OF the communication,
although it was not Intended that they
should hear it. The wife burst into tears.
and the mother-in-law was much affected
