CLERGY TAKE REBATES.
Wing, Then, asks Business Man, DO
Some of Them attack OIL Man?

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: For some time discussion has been going
on in the newspapers of the day, which, 70 an orai-
nary business man. seems one-sided. Certain min
sters Of the Gospel have felt called upon to pro-
nounce Judgment on the business world in a manner
that impels the belief that they think they are the
only good and pure, the only spOtess ones IN this
wicked world Admitting that the ministry is
worthy Of great respect and reverence does it fol-
low that individual members are perfect or even
capable OF determining invariably what Is right IN
business ethics well as religion? But TO come
to the point certain business man offered a
large sum of money for religious purposes-just as
he had been doing for many years past The min
listers in question. forgetting that the Master whom
they profess TO serve, while on earth, chose his
disciples from among the business men around Him;
forgetting that while they personally may be very
good. possibly they do not embrace all the piety in
the universe. mount their pure white steeds and.
with the battlecry "No money made in business
life for the service Of the IOrd,' they rush into
the conflict.
First they decide, contrary to the courts justice
and common sense. that the business man in ques-
tion is a criminal Then they proceed to argue
that such Immaculate beings themselves should
not touch the money offered for the work Of the
Lord. The Good Book says: Who made thee a
tudge?" And yet these have appointed them
selves not only judges but executioners as we'll
The great crime for which these good men assert
that the of wealth should be destroyed is this
They claim he took rebates from the railroads
They admit he gave something return; they could
not make the people believe the railroads were 50
foolish as TO give something for nothing. Yes. the
fact is he shipped by wholesale-one hundred car
loads at once--and entitled to a lower rate
than had he loaded only one car at a time II not.
what business man has a right TO discriminate be-
tween the wholesale and retail buyer? On this
point the aCcuserS are conveniently silent.
Just here comes to mind incident in real bust
ness life. The writer extensive dealer in
books and stationery, and had among his customers
many ministers Of the city churches Why
fortunate? Simply because he gave ministers a
bate. and every one of them took il. too, And
this wrong? No; the dealer had a right to get
trade by showing favor to large class whose trade
was worth havinS. Further: These ministers
cept rebates nom the railroads themselves. What
else call il when the clergy ride all rail-
roads at about half price? And what folly for men
to raise such furious racket in condemnation OF
others for what they themselves constantly do

7, Is credibly reported that the Stevens COM
r,ittae as n result Of its investigations of the
Igbtnr business in this city, will recommend
70 the legislature that the city of New-YOrk be
assisted in its attempt to build public lighting
pIont That will be Il sound recommendation,
which it is to be hoped the legislature Will act
mon favorably and promptly.
We do not know of any better way In when
that recommendation could be acted upon than
in restoring to the Mayors water bill the wise
proyision which will secure to the city's lighting
plant the cheapest possible power II the city
should be denied the use of that power, the use
of its own property all other assistance to It's
municipal lighting efforts would be little better
than mockery.
Governor Higgins judiciously and rightly SAID
the other day that the Stevens committee would
doubtless recommend some line OF action FOR
securing to this city a better lighting service.
His forecast seems now to he fulfilled. 1t is TO
be hoped the recommendation which he pre-
dicted will similarly be fulfilled in the most ef-
fecfive way The most effective way to assist
New-York to get a municipal lighting service IS
to enable it to use its own water power for run
ming it's lighting plant, and the simplest way 10
do that is to restore the enabling clause to the
Mayors water bill and then enact the bill

RRoUGHT 10 LEE AGAIN.

By a bold and clever process of substitution
the object sought in the original Niagara power
BILL after being apparently defeated has been
brought again within the range of legislative
possibilities. In place Of the Cassidy bill there
now emerges into view. with a prospect OF
adoption by the Senate at least the second Of
the Leggett bills, which is generally described
as even worse than the measure which public
opinion recently forced aside. The perform
ance is not creditabe to any one who took part
In It, but it serves to show the resources Of
those who have had the business in charge at
this session. We said weeks ago, in referring
to the original measure, that we were confident
Governor Higgins was incapable Of approving
a bill so pTejudicial to the public interests and
otherwise so obnoxious because of the methods
employed to gain support for It at Albany.
That expectation seems to have been justified,
for there has been no contradiction Of last
weeks report that the Governor had quietly
signifed his hostility. Nor is there any reason
TO doubt that he will be at least as strongly op-
posed TO the substitute which has been slipped
on the Senate calendar by a piece of skilful
legerdemain.
The Tribune has received letter in defence
Of the Niagara power bill No. l. which the
writer presumably considers equally applicable
to No. 2. If so, we shall not disagree with him.
The trouble with 1t IS, from our point Of view,
that It is a good defence of neither. 1t makes
much Of the point that the company, having a
right under its original charter to take an IN
limited supply Of water from above Niagara
Falls Is now willing TO be restricted to the use
Of an amount sufficient to produce 100000 horse
power. It makes little Of the point that in re-
turn for this surrender Of what the company
could not utilize permission is now sought to
extend the company's sphere Of operations,
heretofore narrowly limited, over the whole
State, with practically unrestricted powers of
condemnation. The writer produces testimony
to show that Niagara Falls would not be
marred. but makes no mention of witnesses
who believe they would be irreparably injured
We regret TO say, Also that he does not allude
to the means VIGOROUSLY employed to advance
the scheme in which he is personally and Off
cially interested. n vigorous condemnation of
the methods of the lobby, applied we trust with
out his knowledge, would have improved his
position and would not have weakened his ar
gument
1t is our firm conviction that no bill Of this
character will receive the approval Of Gov
ernor Higgins. There is still room for hope
that Republican legislature will refrain from
sending him bill which he cannot sign.

has uprooted the old practices by which the heads

Congress has felt for some time past the pinch

TIE PENNSYLVANIA PLATFORM.

PENNSYLVANIA is one Of the few States in
which State officers are to be chosen this year.
A Treasurer and four judges Of the Superior
Court are TO be voted for next November. A
Republican convention was held at Harrisburg
on Wednesday last to put a ticket in the field,
and by a unanimous vote j. Lee Piummer, q
Representative in the present legislature. was
nominated to succeed State Treasurer William
I. Mathues, and Charles F. Rice, James A.
Beaver and George B. orlady, now serving as
Judges Of the Superior Court, were Endorsed for
reelection. The Democratic State Convention
Will have the privilege of naming the fourth
fudge. since no voters ballot can carry the
names OF more than three judicial candidates
Wednesdays convention was brief and harmoni-
Gus, session Of ninety minutes suflcing for the
transaction of all It's business. No genuine oppo-
EitiOn party existing in Pennsylvania, the result
Of the fall election can be safely discounted. To
the party at large interest in the proceedings at
Harrisburg hinged altogether, therefore on the
declarations of policy written into the platform
This document was notable more for self
restraint than FOR aggressiveness. PENNSYLVANIA
rs State was foremost in sustaining President
Roosevelts hands when he took Office as Presi-
dent Mckinley's successor, and foremost In
urging his nomination for a new term in the
White House. Last November ii gave him the
largest plurality ever recorded in any State
FOR any Presidential candidate Its people would
gladly repeat that verdict now If the occa-
sion offered, and the State Convention recog-
nized that fact In declaring continued conf
oence in the national administration and nledg.
ing undated support TO all its policies. In
view Of the evident reluctance OF certain Rem
resentatives in the House from PENNSYLVANIA

significance was meant perhaps, to be attached
70 the plank IN the platform thanking the State
delegation for ''upholding the hand Of the Presi-
'dent in his endeavors for the safety and ad-
"vancement OF the people" These last phrases
may have lacked a little in defniteness. But
the delegates az Harrisburg doubtless extracted
from their real meaning.
For the rest. the resolutions strongly com
naended the foreign policy OF the Mckinley and
Roosevelt administrations, and approved the
creation and maintenance OF navy ADEQUATE
20 the nations present and future needs. On
the question Of tariff revision the platform was

THE TREASURY OUTLOOK

Secretary Shaw is justified in dismissing as
fanciful the prediction that the Treasury deficit
for 19O4O5 will reach O00,OO0-twice the
sum he named in the estimate he submitted to
Congress some twenty months ago. The net
deficit for the year passed the $780, 900 mark
last Monday, and some alarmists in Washington
have jumped to the conclusion that it will mount
as high as $35,O0O,O0O by June 30 next Secre-
tary Shaw, however maintains that the final
figure will be much smaller. He predicts that
the Treasurys gains in May and June will re-
duce the annual deficit to $23O0OOOO or S24,-
100000 and thus practically vindicate the rough
guess he made for the guidance of the Appro-
prlatlons committees of the House and Senate
The Secretary seems TO stand on soldier ground
than his critics. 1t is true that April has been
so far losing month for the Treasury Up TO
Monday last expenditures exceeded receipts by
So,64O,295; but the first month in each quarter
Is counted on to show defcit-and ApriTs loss
Is not excessive when compared with the losses
In July, October and January. The adverse bal
ance for January was $6216714 for October
$3,952,391, and for July SIT 800 612-an average
OF over $9O00000 April has not therefore
shown an astonishing turn for the worse. In
fact compared with other months OF the year
the April record so far has been decidedly "a
vorable- For the first twenty four DAYS Of ADril
1904, the deficit was $5,525, 4O9-Only S1I5OOO
less IMAM the denclt Tor the same period in April

$50 269 7O4 against $31 ,6S4 500 last year-o gain

100000 greater than last year-S37. 600
against $37,21O,OOO. Business this year holds

in May and June the Treasury's ordinary re-.
ceipts exceeded its ordinary outlay by about
100000. A similar surplus this year in those
two months win cut the net annual deficit
which stood at $3O11s4S4 on Monday-to about
$23OOOO00
That is the Secretary's view and II Is n view
whose sOundness is not easily challenged. The
