VIII This Settle II?

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SUN-Sir: A short
time ago In an editorial you made the state
ment that Henry Clay was nominated for
President by the National Republican con-
vention at Baltimore on December 10. 1891.
Shortly afterward you printed q communi-
cation from Mr.. Lewis OF Pennsylvania call.
ing you to account for saying that Mr.. Clay
was nominated by a National Republican
convention. Mr.. Lewis insisting that Mr.. Clay
had never been nominated by any except
the Whig party. You quoted a number OF
authorities to sustain you in your original
statement, whereupon you were requested
to print several days later a communication
from a correspondent In Washington an
nouncing that Mr.. Lewis was right and that
you were wrong.
In order to clear up this matter will you
permit me to quote from Horace Greeley's
announcement in the Wing Almanac" Of
1888, wherein Mr.. Greeley says that the Wings
comprised;
Most OF those who. under the name o. National
Republicans. had previously been known as sup.
porters of Adams and Clay and advocates OF the
American system.
In 1885 William Henry Harrison was nom
mated by the National Republican. or Wing.
party, while in December. 1899, at Harris
burg. Harrison was nominated by the Wing
convention. This was the first presidential
nomination by the Wings as a party. In 1874
Clay was nominated by the second Wing
convention ever held, Zachary Taylor was
nominated in ls4s by the third Wing converl-
tion, and Winfield Scott in 1852 was nominated
by the fourth Wing convention. Mtllard
Fillmore in 1886 was nominated by the fifth
and last Whlg convention,
You were absolutely correct in saying that
Henry Clay was nominated by the National
Republican convention at Baltimore in De-
cember, 1881. S, J. I.

Actre ss's Farewell in the sos.

THE MUSsULMAN MOVEMENT.
New and Serious Problem Facing England
In India.


To THE EDITOR OF The SuN-Sir: The
presence of the Khedive Of Egypt at Con-
stantinople Affirming his loyalty to his suze-
rain. the Sultan. presents a problem to solve
which the British Government must have
recourse TO other methods than naval demon
STATIONS The visit Of the Khedive to Con.
stantinople was decided on as soon as the
Sultan and his council had made up their
minds to accept the British ultimatum, but
with conditions that were satisfactory to
the London Foreign ONCE.
The change OF attitude on the part Of the
British Government and the return Of the
Mediterranean fleet to Malta resulted from
causes outside Turkey and Egypt. Remon-
stranoes OF such a character that they could
not be ignored we're sent TO London on behalf
Of the Mussulmans OF India. and at the same

Diary has been to cause. a moral counter DEM
onstration in favor Of the Sultan, by 10000

to bring about a greater solidarity among
Moslems than previously existed, which will
not make the task Of the governments ruling q
large numbers Of Mohammedan subjects any
easier.
Under the circumstances the exact line Of

the spirit animating the governments ON

the policy that may be pursued by the British

American Plays In London.

The naive egotism Of the theatrical
person pervades the statement cabled
from London to the effect that an Ameri-
can declares that British hos
tility to this country is shown in the
treatment accorded to our dramas.
The English, he says, may pirate as they
please about their friendship for us, but
they show their real feelings when they
harshly criticise our plays and ever
refrain from going to see them. This
plant will convince few and amuse
many. Those who know that public
performers, both theatrical and musical,
almost always attribute unfavorable
comment to personal spite will smile
at 1t.
The facts do not support the state
ment. Many American plays have been
kindly received in London, some Of them
much more 80 than in New York and
Chicago, and comment upon them in the
London papers has been far gentler
than that published on this side Of the
Atlantic. The complaining theatrical
person asserts that the unkindly feeling
toward this country exists among the
masses of the people in London, though
it is not, expressed in the public prints
or mentioned by those in official posi-
tons.
The same thing might be said of the
much advertised American love for
Great Britain. Among the masses Of
the people, especially in the West, it
certainly does not exist. 1t is to be
found only among the more intelligent
and cultivated, who have convinced
themselves by reasoning that 1t is for
the best interests Of both counties, not
to speak OF the world in general, that
the W should be friends,
In England there is less hostility than
indifference to this country, and this in
difference is founded on an ignorance
so wide and 30 deep as to be quite aston
ishing to the average American. Very
few Englishmen know anything about
this country and most Of them do not
desire to know. 1t is an old saying that
JOHN BULL is a conservative, but prob
ably we Americans, ever seeking some
new thing, are slow to grasp his real
attitude, which is that of one absorbed
in his own business and wishing not to
be disturbed.
American travellers in Europe know
that Europeans are wonderfully ignorant

BrOoklyn's Opportunity.

This morning the Board Of Estimate
will give a public hearing on the plan to
connect the Manhattan ends Of the Brook
lyn and Williamsburg bridges by means
of an elevated railway. The opposition
TO the erection Of more overhead rams
portation lines in this borough is strong,
and the residents of Brooklyn must
overcome it IL the means of relief they
advocate is to be adopted. For weeks
the organizations of taxpayers in all
parts of Kings county have been urging
citizens to attend the meeting to-day
in order to show the City administration
how much in earnest they are in their
demands.
The outrageous conditions at the
Manhattan end of the Brooklyn Bridge
have done great injury to Brooklyn,
retarding its growth and keeping the
prices Of it's real estate far below what
they should be. Every resident of the
borough is interested in obtaining i'm
proved transit facilities, but it is obvious
that the city will not approve a plan
opposed by Manhattan unless the dem
onstration in its favor is overwhelming
and irresistible.
If the representation of Brooklyn at
to-day's hearing is small and perfume
tory the elevated loop scheme will not
be considered seriously by the Board Of
Estimate. Its fate is sure if those who
suffer most from the conditions existing
at present do not make a good showing
in City Hall this morning.

To THE EDITOR OF THB SUN-Sr: heard two
stories OF q bank In this town which are interesting
In a way. They came to me two years apart and
from widely different sources. One was that when
the bank started It had its business to build. and
as one means OF getting customers It offered TO
loan to the narIator's father, a property holder
and a good man to have on Its books. the sum OF
500 10 open an account with. The old gentleman
was willing 10 take all he could get on those lines
and he opened the account. or course he was
not the only one,
The other story was that when the bank was
opened and the stock taken $50 shares were turned
back by a stakeholder for some reason. The mar.
rator In this Instance was q young man who had
Just come into $4,000 from an estate. The presi.
dent Of the bank, who was under some friendly
obligation TO the young man, told him about the
stock and offered It to him for sl5.0Oo. saying that
II be would put In his sio.ooo h.. the president,
would arrange for the additional 5000 required.
Al the same time he told the young man that no
dividends would be paid for some time.
The young man had a chance to loan his fortune
at 7 per cent. and concluded 1t wns a better deal
than the bank stock. The president kep, the
stock. That was twenty odd years ago. and "a. day
that SAM stock Is worth upward OF $4,000.

The esteemed president NJ Columbia
University ~ptopounded two thoughts IN
his address 10 the graduates day before
Yesterday. To tell OIL tho truth, Dr.
BUrLER propounded more than two
thoughts. but there are two which We
have especially In mind because We
think each Of them could be improved
somewhat. This In Thought the First!

True a. the principal axiom In geom-
etry. This spirit Of unrest Ia abroad.
II got abroad about the time that Mr..
ADAM began TO hustle. and II will be alive
and stirring when Mr., OMEGA Ia getting
ready 20 dictate his last will and tesla
ment. It Ia M Of the greatest things on
earth. for II makes the wheels 60 around.
without 1t Columbia Heights would be
under twelve feet Of solid mould this
week and the White House would be
like a morgue. This spirit has always
been abroad. A hundred years ago II
was lowering around Austerlltz and Jena.
i WlCt nillctctu HuiluTCu ySnIb vi iiOiO
ago it was personally conducting ABRA-
HAN into Egypt. A thousand and ten
thousand years hence II will be just as much
abroad as it is to-day, unless the globe
cools prematureiy. 1t is always trying
and sometimes succeeding. Without it
we should be in a precious mess OF stag
Without it there would be no
ROOSEVELT, no freshman class, no DR..
NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER. For heav-
ems sake let us not chain the spirit Of
unrest, or even attempt to exercise 1t.
We don't believe the president Of Column
bia wants TO do either.
Thought the Second is of the nature of
antidote to graft:
Moral regeneration. not political and economic
reconstrucuon. is what we chiefly need"
This second thought could have been
improved by specifications, but DR.. But
