OBJECT TO DIR. GROVES REMARKS.

The Rev Dr. W s. Grove. pastor o: the Uni
yersalist Church OF the Eternal Hope No. 142 East
Eighty-hrst-st has caused a sensation among labor
organizations especially those on +he East Side, by
his remarks last Sunday. In a sermon DR.. Grove
saie that he favored the esta bishment of prop
erty qualification for voters. and also law dis
franchising the most ignorant Of the foreigners
who come 10 this country in such large numbers.
The labor unions were much aroused by the re-
marks OF DT. Grove and some Of them have held
meetings and passed resolutions coEdemning them
The sermon was made special order OF bust
ness at the last meeting OF the Miscellaneous Sec
lion Of the Central Federated Union. and the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed and given out yes
terday:
Resolved, That. In the opinion OF this body. the
Rev. Dr. GROVE could employ his time more ad-
vantageously on subjects beneficial 10 mankind in
general than by interfering In matters foreign 10
his once. and demonstrating his depiorable igno-
rance of the natural results Of the present in
ioutOus social system.
Resolved. That most emphaticaly protest
against this cergyman's insinuation that vice Is
rampant among the poor. ana strongly advise him,
II ne dare. 10 interest himself IN that part Of
society which is commonly known the upper
crust who by the exploitation Of the labor Of others
live in luxury roll in wealth and are. according
his ideas the elected Americans.
There are many naturaliZed citizens among the
members OF the unions comprising the section
tbet passed the resolutions. and efforts will prob
sblv be made 10 bring the matter up before the
meeting OF the Central Federated Union to-day.

ENGLAND WOULD TAK CROKER.
THE BOSS MAY HAVE TO HELP CONQUER
HIS FRIENDS THE BOERs.

Richard Croker at last has a first class oppor-
tunity TO fight the English Government The Brit
ish income tax assessors noticed time ago
that Mr.. Croker liked English racing. English
bulldogs, English clothes and the life of an Eng
nsh country squire, and they concluded he ought
TO pay for them, the same as other people in the
kingdom. No sooner had he shaken off American
care and trouble by hieing himself TO Vantage a
few days than he fell into the clutches Of Eng
lish tax assessors. His last state seems TO be
formed him shortly after he reached British soil
that he had been assessed $500 on account OF a
supposed income of 100000 a year. The high tax is
levied on account Of the Boer war and temporary
residents as we'll citizens liable. On
Wednesday last Mr. Croker appeared before the
local assessors Vantage and tried to persuade
them they were doing him injustice
The English assessors, it seems, looked over Mr..
Crokers racing stable and concluded, from the high
scale of mis- living. that his income must be at
least 100000. and when they get hold OF rich
alien like Mr.. Croker they TO know what
TO do.
There are reasons for and against Mr.. Croker's
paying the tax, his friends here assert. Mr.. Gro
ker is a strong sympathizer with the Beers. and.
Of course he doesn't like the idea of paying 5000
TO help the British conquer his friends On the
other hand 1t is suggested that if he really has
the courage OF his convictions he ought TO be glad
Of the chance to pay income tax. Mr.. Bryan
was proclaimed by Mr.. Croker as the greatest
Statesman OF the uags anu Is a warm
advocate of an income tax. Therefore. in the game
of follow your leader" which is of the pop
ular sports in Tammany Hall. Mr.. Croker ought
10 jump at the chance Of paying an income tax,
even If it does 90 10 the British exchequer. By
breaking himself in at paying income tax away
from home il viii come all the easier for him
when Bryan is elected President. Mr.. Croker 8
friends said yesterday that just this
sober second thought occurs to him he will mount
his swiftest racer, and, riding post haste 20 the
office of the English tax gatherers, apologize for
his former error. and firmly insist upon paying his
income tax, whether they like ii not This is one
OF the privileges he can't enjoy in New-York.
