EASTERN OFFICE 2,10 to 234 Temple
Court, N. Y. City. E. KATZ, Agent
JNEW YORK'S VULGAR HALL.
When one contemplates the proba
blc intellectual condition of people
who take a pride in showing how
much nione' the' can spend, it is not
hard to understand that they arc un
able to grasp the fcocial and ethiea
sins of foolish extravagance. Kew
lorn is in a turmoil over the ap
proaching ball of the Bradley-Mar
tins. The success of some socia
functions, in days dead and gone,
depended upon the wit of the guests,
the brains represented, the beauty of
the adornments and the cultured un
ostentation of the hosts. This ball
is going to be famous for its parade
of the Jit adlcy-Martin dollars. The
total amount expended on the func
tion is expected to aggregate $300,
000, and it may icach $500,000. It
is not to be a, matter of taste and
aristocratic reserve, it is to oe a
majestic display of one man's ability
to spend nionoy,
i Of course, much the same result
might be secured were the host and
hostess to take n few hundred thous
and dollars' worth of greenbacks and
burn them up in a golden coal scuttle
before an enraptured throng of New
York society people. The extrava
gance is not defensible on economic
grounds. In the first place, the
dresses will be designed, the wines
furnished and the decorations made
by employers already enjoying high
wages and abundant labor. Much of
the ball-givers' money, moreover,
will be eaten up bv prosperous
tradesmen, and as the whole result of
the expenditure is only u few hours
of gaudy display, nothing is pro
duced the expenditure is an eco
nomic loss. If it had not been for
the ball, the nionoy would probably
have remained in the hands ot
shrewd 2scw York investors for the
purpose of increasing useful produc
tion, building factories and sotting
up commercial enterprises.
It is time for some of the rich
people of the country to consider
whether the possession of enormous
weath does not involve suino re
sponsibility to society at large. The
vulgar show in 2ew York at a time
when money is sorely needed for the
alleviation of absolute distress is cal
culated to increase class hatred and
discontent. This point alone is of
urgent importance. Are not the
STcw York nabobs shrewd enough to
see that thoy themselves are doing
more to stir up febrile agitation than
the veriest calamity-howler? Chi
cago liccord.
According to Hie big papers in
the East, the only view taken of the
"extravagant expenditure of wealth"
is that it will open the eyes of the
poverty-stricken to a comparison of
conditions. Do those papers sup
pose the poor do not understand
those conditions now? Let the rich
spend their money foolishly if they
want to. That's the way to get it
in circulation. It is true it might
be given to the poor, but it won't
be, and it would bo a bad thing if it
were. It might be used, as suggested,
in "building factories," but with
those already built standing idle, it
is not likely to be invested that way.
The papers say Mrs. Uradlcy. Mar
tin is a fool; and as she is parting
rapidly with her money, the saying
seems to bo verified. Let her get
rid of het coin, for as long as she has
it, no one else will.
AT SALEM.
Public interest is centered on
Salem, anxiously watching the tide
and trying vainly to conjecture
which way it will How. There are
all kinds of idle rumors, none of
which can be relied upon. The gen
crnlly .accepted idea is that Mitchell's
friends will hold out to the last, and
that it will be "Mitchell or nobody."
It may bo borne in min.l (not Jona
than) that the situation was solved
two years ago tho hst end of the
session, just as the famous beauty
show in the old Grecian heaven was
fc-ott'ed by o gift of fruit, though it is
doubtful in tho case of the election
of tho senator if tho most beautiful
got the prize.
If Mitchell's friends hold out, it is
hardly probable that an extra session
will be called, for Governor .Lord is
not at all friendly to Mitchell; and is
hand-in-clove with Simon. Besides,
the legislature would have to organ
izc before a snap judgment like that
which elected MclJridc sould be
taken.
We received a communication last
week from Waninitia: but as it was
unsigned, it was not printed. One
would think that in the course of a
few hundred years persons who de
sire to have something printed in a
newspaper would sign their names to
the articles. The editor naturally
wants to know whom to hold respon
sible for sUitcments, and have some
knowledge of the source of informa
tion. The names signed are not for
publication, but for the editor's in
formation only, and heaven knows
information is what editors need
most.
The Nicaragua canal bill is dead
beyond the hope of resurrection, and
it is well that it is so. It was a de
liberate attempt to steal $100,000,000
from the governmet, and came near
succeeding. If the United States
wants the canal, it should build one
and operate it. This thing of fur
nishing money for other people to
buy property with, has gotten de
cidedly old with Americans.
