We accept DR.. DEPEw's congratulations
upon THE SUNS SEVENTEEN birthday ami
versary, but decline with thanks his offer TO
stand a. our coeval typographical error
in a certain biographical dictionary some
years ago represented him AZ having been
born early In 1894, instead Of 1854, the figures
Of the Depew family Bible Such mistake
is invariably repeated in other works OF
reference. and in this cnse it escaped even
the Doctors own eyeglasses when he WA
revising the proofs of his official autobiog-
raphy In the Congressional Directory In
consequence there has arisen the widespread
but wholly ridiculous notion that the Hon.
CHAuNcEY NJ. DEpEw has already attained
the age Of some Of the less conspicuous
patriarchS mentioned In Genesis. This
popular delusion IL strengthened, in some
degree, by the marks of care and wear which
distinguish his physiognomy as portrayed
In the outs Of the yellow newspapers. or
course. discerning persons correctly attrib-
ute these apparent signs Of advanced age to
their natural cause. namely, the pain. during
many years, Of refusing railroad passes to
Democrats. and the boredom Of listening
at thousands OF dinners and other social &C.
casions, to old and bad stories told by others.
The real wonder is that DR.. DEPEw. at fifty,
does not look ninety-five or ninety-eight.
At the proper time next spring, when
Senator DEPEw completes his first half
century Of useful existence, We hope to
return his compliments and congratulations
in formal, fitting way.

ago the cry was of the contamination our
society would suffer from the outpouring
from the "slums Of ireland, the bog
trotters, the Paddles the 'Mickies. =
Whoever remembers the squalor OF the
earlier tenement house districts, into
which these immigrants from starving
and oppressed Ireland poured. fifty and
sixty years ago, will recall state OF
poverty and Of Indebtedness of housing
in those days long antecedent to tene-
ment house reform--far worse than APP
pears now in the most densely crowded
Italian districts
We sympathize with the indignation
expressed by Prof. MARCHIsIo at the
misconception Of his people, but he takes
a few prejudiced and ignorant mani
festations as representative Of an intelli-
gent American sentiment which does not
exist The rapid increase in our Italian
population and their demonstration OF
industry and Of ability to hold their
own in the common struggle for adj
vancement are already disarming even
ignorant prejudice against them az a
race and giving them a power Of resist
ance which will compel respect.
THE Italians strength is numbered
by hundreds OF thousands In this city
alone" says Prof. MARcHIsIo, yet "he
receives no recognition proportionate to
his Importance. Be patient, Professor.
The day is coming when the subtle Italian
intellect will be recognized az OF more
than "proportionate Importance in New
York politics. Before many years Italian
speech will pass away and even Italian
patronymics will be Anglicized, and
new and resourceful school of politicians
will contest for supremacy.

An Antidote for Fog.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sr: THE
Sun is to DO most sincerely congratulated
upon attaining the golden age Of three score
and ten years: and it's Enthusiastically
comprehensive editorial. An Anniversary
Perhaps of Interest. Is as interesting and
instructive as the event itself.
Briefly and graphically. the whole story Of
its birth and prosperous existence Is most
satisfactorily told.
1t might be regarded as fulsome fattery
to say that TIE Sun Ii the very best news
paper published. but II would nevertheless
be very near the exact truth. Its makeup"
Is ideal modern journalism: ito dress"
elegant In typographical refinement. u il
may DO 30 said. and II publishes all the news
that Is worth reading: while its editorials are
admitted to be models Of brilliant wit. humor.
keen sarcasm and philosophical thought and
treatment Of all the live topics OF the times.
For many weeks we had the most dismal
weather here. with drizzlins rain. fog or great
downpours. but amid it all the guests from
New York. New England. the West and the
South every morning greeted The Sun with
the joyful realization that In spite Of old
Soils obscurity. THE NEW YORK Sun shone
for all OF US and kept US in true touch with
the whole world.
May 1t survive for It least another three
score and ten years. THOMAS W. PrrTAAN.

lam sorry, sincerely sorry, said the
Hon. HENRY WATTERsoN at the dinner
given by the Pilgrims to Sir THOMAS
Upton the other evening. that Sir
THOMAS goes back empty-handed. l

do you want your opponent to lose all the

We are sorry, sincerely sorry. that
Col. WATTERsoNs gloomy point is not

vited guest he was challenger. Would
the gentleman from Kentucky have us
throw the noble game, just to please
Sir THOMAS? We hardly think so, and
We do not believe that that is the way
in Kentucky.
Moreover, no game can be noble the
squareness Of which can for moment
be doubted. Once upon time-so the
story goes-there was a chivalrous gen.
tleman, Just as chivalrous and high
strung as any gentleman from Kentucky.
His name was DARTAGNAN. He prom
ised his father that he would never re-
fuse challenge. He kept that promise,
and took mighty good care never to let
the challenger win. Well, that is our
way in New York.
We do not want to win every time We
meet challenger, and il there were any
suspicion that we might be inclined to
throw the game, no gallant knight like
Sir THOMAS would think it worth his
while to challenge. Then Sandy Hook
would lose its glory, the Cup might be
turned into flower pot, and The Sun
would never win another barrel of blue
