ONLY AN OLD SONG.
But 1t illustrated the Curiosity of &
New York Crowd


1t was only a song, and an old one at
that, but it came near causing block
on the Broadway surface line the other
day. The singer was as black as the
coal in the cart he was driving, but
that fact cast no shadow on his eXuber-
ant spirits. AS he swung his chariot
from Broadway into Cortlandt street
he raised his voice. Then the trouble
began.
| When the notes Of cold Black Joe"
rang out high and clear above the din
! of traffic, expressions of blank amaze
ment overspread the faces of the hur-
1 rying pedestrians who thronged the
sidewalks. Necks were craned in a
vain search for the location of some
newly patented photograph. Crowds
collected and gaZed vacantly upon the
air, as if they expected to locate the
sound in some Office window; teams
were drawn up until long line of
trucks extended up Cortlandt street to
Broadway, barring access to the street,
that their drivers might ascertain the
cause of the crowds curiosity. Sud-
denly a newsboy cried:
"Ah, rubber! Dontcher see it's only
de niger a-singin?"
The crowd laughed. The darby, now
Justify holding forth on "The Suwannee
River" turned sharply into Church
street, totally oblivious to the excite
ment he had caused. The crowd then
dispersed, and the long line of wagons
began to move once more.
"Well," exclaimed Jerseyman on
his way to the ferry, New Workers call
country people curious, butt He
shrugged his shoulders and passed on.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. "a mass meet
ing of citizens, of which Bishop Henry G.
Potter, of New York. was the central fig
ure. was held in the Academy of Music to-
night for the purpose of taking preliminary
steps in starting a general crusade against
vice in this city. The big building was
crowded, most of those present being wom-
en-. Bishop Potter. when introduced, was
from saying much of the condition of vice
as it prevails in this city. leaving that for
local speakers to tell. He touched briefly
on his boyhood days, which were spent
here. and then discussed in a general way
the Capitalization of power which, he said,
exists to-day in many walks of life. He
said there Is in the popular mind a belief
that judges on the bench. men in the egis-
lative halls and the smallest politicians are
purchasable. That such a condition could
exist. he said. was a dishonor.
Rev. DR.. Whyland Hoyt, OF this city, de-
livered a strong address against the alleged
immortality of the city. He said there were
in the city 'over seven hundred houses of
women whose path led to death"
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that the citizens of Philadelphia recognize
that our city has fallen under the sway of
machine, which, by its control of vast rev.
enue. the spells of office. unwarranted use
of police power and other agencies, af-
ficts us with almost every form of mis-
government" The resolution also provides
for the appointment of a COMMITTEE TO be-
gin a movement for the betterment of the
prevailing conditions.

The defeat of the Hopkins bill for the
-apportionment of representatives in Con-
gress during the next decade will give gen.
eral satisfaction, even if its author is dis
appointed. 1t might be we'll not to in
crease the membership of the House, but
when 1t is a question between reducing the
representation of States in which all the
people are represented and increasing the
number of representatives in States in
which a large part of the inhabitants are
DISTINGUISHED. 1t is better to increase the
number. There is not so much difference
in favor of the superiority of the people
of Louisiana over those of Indiana that
the formers voting population. based upon
State laws. should have twice the repre-
sentation of Indiana. General Grosvernor
gave as his reason for voting for the Hon
kins bill that the Burleigh substitute would
increase the representation of cities at the
sentation of Indiana. General Grosvenor
is frequently illogical. but his lack of logic
was never more apparent than when he
mad this statement. AS a matter of fact,
the States that would lose under the Hop
klns bill Indiana. Kansas, Nebraska,
Maine, Virginia and two or three others
have no large cities. On the other hand,
on any basis of representation, Massachu-
sets. New York. Pennsylvania and Illinois
would gain because of the increase of popu-
lation in the large cities of these States.
So long as the House concluded that II
was wise not to make an apportionment
upon a strictly constitutional basis, it is
better that the Burleigh substitute should
be adopted. 1t may not be more just than
the Hopkins provision. but IL makes the
injustice less apparent. 1t is hoped that
before the next apportionment some pro-
vision may be made, by constitutional
amendment or otherwise, which will put
the basis of representation upon a stand
ard of citizenship required by the United
States. If illiteracy is TO disqualify for
counting in the basis Of representation In
one State. let 1t ~disqualify in all the States.
The fact hat hundreds OF thousands OF
aliens in New York. Pennsylvania and
Illinois are counted for the purpose of rep
resentation makes ii really necessary that
qualified voters shout be the basis OF
| representation.
