Gen. Fitz Lee For President

The following Communication signed
IT." advocating the nomination OF
Gen. FIiz Lee for the presidency in
1904. appeared in a recent issue cf the
Baltimore Sun;
"Inasmuch as the Democracy seems
10 be casting about for an available
man as its nominee for the Presidency
in 1904, IL may not be amiss to suggest
that it can fad an eminently suitable
one in sac person Of Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee He is Of strong character, good
abilities. keen Judgment aad acute d.
plomacy, set courageous and OF strong
convictions.
He is possessed OF nice executive abil'
ity, and as a statesman and soldier has
shown himself worthy Of the highest
confidence Of the American people.
Recognition Of his signal services in
4 critical period Of our foreign relations
would be a graceful compliment, and
men Of all parties 10 every section OF
our common country would rally to his
support.
His views on the currency are sound,
get he is not radical, and in the event
! Of his election his management Of at
! fairs in respect to our island possessions
It nay be fairly assumed, would be II
accordance with constitutional require
ments and in keeping with the highss
patriotism. It is nOt my purpose &
present detailed reasons why Genera
Lee would prove the most available mai
for the Democracy. but desire only 8
offer this suggestion so that IL may b
taken up By thinkers and writers 0
our party for the purpose Of having |
considered from every possible stand
point. "

ArraiEned the Rich.

Abram s. Hewitt, son in law Of Peter
Cooper, and ex-Mayor of New York
oity, arraigned the rich at meeting
held In New York Thursday to farther
the work OF the Episcopal prc-Oathe-
dral In Stanton street. He said In part.
"since lS40 our national wealth has
increased FIVE times as fast as our popu-
lstion. who shall say that with that
wonderful increase 10 wealth there is
not means In abundance TO remove all
the misery and all the evil conditions
among the humble classes which at
present are stains and sores on our body
politicY The advance Of industry which
has brought us this wealth beyond the
widest dreams Of avarice has also
brought on conditions which make 1t
an absolute impossility for some people
to live decent. respectable lives.
"The rich have not even begun to do
whet they ought to do. Men that al
most worship for their generosity and
solicituds for those that have less ore
not giving in proportion 10 their wealth
the half that was given by their famt-
lies a generation ago. If these terrible
tenemeuts. these overcrowded districts
these dark and foul dwelling-place, and
all the attending miseries, must go With
industry, then l would to God thai
every industrial centre could be de-
stroyed, as were Sodom and Gamorraf
of old, and men be driven back 10 th'
land, where they can at least have th'
breezes and the green grass and th'
sunshine and the blue Heaven to loci
up to.
The venerable speaker seems to hav'
gotten pretty close to the root Of tn
evil he was discussing.
