DID THE BISHOP MAKE A MIS-
TAINEs

Bishop Potter of New York made a
speech at a dinner of the City Club in
that city Jan. H. in the course of which
he said that a man came to him repre-
senting himself to be from Mr. Croker,
asking if the bishop would be satisfied If
certain named changes were made in the
police force. 1t viii be recalled that at
that time Bishop Potter was just inaugu-
rating the crusade against vice.
A day or two ago a letter from Mr.
Croker, written in Eng and, was publish
ed in the New York Journal. In it he
denied positively that any one authorized
to represent him called on Bishop Potter
at the time in question or at any other
time.
There is no doubt, of course, that some
one called on the Bishop and represented
that he was from Mr.. Croker, and it
seems to be equally certain that he did
not represent Mr.. Croker. While Mr.
Croker is not a man to be admired in
many respects, he is truthful man.
The question therefore which presents
Itself is this: Was Bishop Potter justified
in saying in public speech that a man
who said he wds sent by Mr.. Croker,
called on him for purpose of stop
ping the war on vice in New
York city? He gave the impress
sion that Mr. Croker practically adj
mitted that everything that was being
said against Tammany. and its manage
ment of the citys affairs, was true. and
that Mr.. Croker was ready to do almost
anything to stop the war on vice.
Would not Bishop Potter have appeared
in better light if he had given Mr..
Croker chance to say whether or not
he had ever approached him. through a
representative or otherwise, for the pur-
pose of hushing up the talk about PAGES
of vice in New York? 1t seems to US that
he would. There is no doubt that Bishop
Potter, in his speech, kept close to the
truth, but was the impression which he
made true? Even bishops make mistakes
sometimes.

A BOOM FOR oLNEY.

The New York Sun 1t seems is more
interested in having it understood that
Mr. Bryan has no chance whatever Of
again being the Democratic nominee for
President than any OF the Democratic
papers. In its issue of Thursday 1t had
an article in which it undertook to give
the opinions Of a number of the members
OF the Democratic National Committee as
TO Mr.. Bryan's prospects for 1904.
These committee men, who were seen at
the different hotels in New York on We'd
nesday night, said that il MIR. Bryan en-
tertained the opinion that there was
chance for him to be nominated by his
party a third time he was going TO b.
disappointed, because he would not even
he thought Of as a presidential candidate
four years hence. They also said that
there were at this time thirty-eight of
abe national committeeman who were
working for Richard Olney in the East,
West and South, and that the responses
Which they were receiving were of the
most encouraging character.
The information was furnished by these
committeeman that there would be very
little said respecting the Democratic sit
uauon undl after the adjournment OF
Congress-until, in fact, about July l. At
that time there might be something that
would show the course the Democratic
party would likely pursue.
II is doubtful if the Sun is the best me-
dunn through which to get Democratic
news. No doubt there are Democratic
leaders who are thinking of Mr.. Olney
In connection with the Democratic presi-
dental nomination, but there are also
leaders who are thinking of Mr.. Bryan
Did not Representative Lentz, at the dol
lar dinner al Columbus, o.. on Lincoln's
birthday, introduce MIR. Bryan as the
next President? And did not Mr.. Bryan
accept the Introduction, just as if he had
again been nominated for President?
There were many prominent Democrats
at the dinner and Mr.. Lentz's introduce
tion of Mr.. Bryan appeared to satisfy
them. Those Democrats who are getting
up a boom for Mr.. Olney are likely 20 find
themselves mistaken if they think Mr..
Bryan will not be heard of in 1904.

THE Old Man"

The employees of the late Mr.. Armour
always referred to him as the Old Man"
says the New York Tribune. This was
not so much the result of a habit among
Workmen of calling their employer "the
old man" as an eccentricity of the "o.d
man himself When he wanted to give
ala anonymously he said That's from
the Old man." Many gifts went out of
mas pocket under the signature of 1.-THE
Old Man"
A young girl went to the business office
OF the great packing concern one day to
report the Illness of a friend who worked
as slenographer in the office Mr.. Ar
mour happened to stand near and over
heard the Sirps request for an advance in
her friends salary with which to pay the
Doctors bill Trusting his thumb into
MS vest pocket-that pocked which seemed
a mint of greenbacks-he handed the girl
roll of bills.
Take that to your friend" he said
Ihen adding, to relieve the girls aston
lshment lie her the old man sent it,
Before the girl could thank him he was
gone but just as she left the building
he again appeared, and finding her gone
hurried hatiess into the street.
Here! here! 1 forgot something" he
called.
The girl turned back, and without a
WORD Mr.. Armour pressed something into
her hand. She looked down-it was a $40
bill q w
Mr. Armour had decided that his gift
was not sufficient and FASTENED to in
crease it,
