Beppo Writes From New York,
New York, June 26th, 1902 1
202 W. 78th Street. / .
Editor Times-Enterprise:
I have been in. New York about
six weeks, aud tils is.the first
opportunity I’ve bad t) write for
other than my own publisher.
There aie many frieods in Thom*
asville to whom Hike to write a
general letter, but the one I prize
most is the Times itself.
1 never saw New York so stirred
up physically and politically as it
is at present. The building of the
great subway from the City Hall
op to Harlem has necessitated the
tearing up of many streets, and
there are", miles of treuches dug
from thirty to forty feet wide and
a» many deep. All the way above
Twenty»tbird street Manhattan
Island is solid rock, aud the blast
ing goes oo daily. ^ To protect its
enormous population as well as
traffic, tbe contractors have to
bridge the great' trench its entire
length; still accidents happen al
most daily. Many lives have been
lost up to this time, aud it is fair
to assume that before it is finished
almost a regiment ~*of men will
have been killed, but human lives
count nothing against the progress
of improvement. It is interesting
to watch the work io some places,
but far more interesting to watch
political events that occur in rapid;
succession. One of tbe greatest
political failures ever witnessed in
Gotham is-the present reform ad
ministration. Its failure is not
due so much to rascality as it is to
incompetency. Mayor Lowe is a
cleao man politically^ honest and
all that, but throughout the en
tire .administration there is an
otter lack of executive ability. On
the day of thei election that put it
in power, Travers Jerome wps the
most popular man on the ticket.
He is a hot headed, impulsive
young mao, of considerable men
tal ability, but unfortunately is
troubled with what we call “pig
beadedness." 8o far he is the
worst failure of all 4be officials
elected. He chases small evils to
tbe great neglect of the large ones.
Qiea't crimes have been committed
recently that appear -to him as
mere incidents. Everybody of all
parties seem to have lo»t both con
finance iu and respect for him.
Even under Groker and Tammany
Hall things were 'doue better, and
uow there arq thousands of would-
be reformers, who deeply regret
thnehange of administration. .
Croker has undoubtedly with
drawn from politics entirely. He
is living in Boglan'd in the hope,
be says; that they will cease heap
ing, abase upon him. Still there
are'tbousands who believe that he
is directing tbe affairs of Tamma
-uy Hall from across the Atlantic,
but really i don't believe he is do,
ing auvtbiog of the kind. He
has made his pile and wants to be
left to eojoy it unmolested. It is
something he couldnH do oh this
Side of the water.
Preparations are being made
for, the state election next* fall,
and the state democrats are trying
to get together, aud put up a bold
fight. Iu my judgement, there
.isn’t tbe ghost of a'cbance ot the
democrats wiuning, on account of
a lack of harmony. Unfortunate
ly the democrats are lacking in
tbe wisdom of the republicans who
pan quarrel with each other for a
year or two, but come together on
tbe day of election, and preseot a
solid frfint to their political ene
mies. - There are many democrats
who profess tp see prospects of
victory^jn. both state and national
elections,-but it is entirely a pes
simistic view of the situation,
rbere is Undoubtedly a good deal
of desseutiou and diesafiisfaction^
iu the ranke of tbe repoblicane,
but for all that, they will get to
gether in 1904 and sweep tbe field
again, no matter who their caudi
date may be, not so much ou ac*
count of tbe righteousness of their
cause as to the d m foolishness
of their opponents.
Recently there was a great gath
ering of earneet democrats to cele
brate the opening of the Ttlden
Club in this city, at which it was
hoped that the key note of har*
mony would be sounded that
would have the effect of solidfy
ug the old party of Jefferson*
victory; but all over the country,
particularly Id the south and wesV
a bowl of disseDt came op from
populists and popocrats, denounc
ing Cleveland, . Hill and every
thing they said. Bryan let oat a
blast in which he spoke of Cleve
land as “a former democrat,** and
while bo howled the populists iir
Nebraska were nominating him
for governor. Such an exhibition
of cheek and gall has never been
excelled in ibis country. It’s
enongh to make the gorge rise
from the stomach of the bnrly
keeper of a lunatic asylum, for
such evidence of lunacy has never
before been exhibited .anywhere.
It's difficult to see how real true-
blue democrats can support any
than or platform that is endorsed
by such a political menagerie as
the populists have organized. I
have always thought for myself,
and oast my vote for what I be
lieved was tbe true Jeffersonian
doctrine of political government;
but when I seethe populists shout
ing and yoting for so-called Dem
ocratic candidates and platforms,
I distrust my own judgment. If
the devil joins the church aod
marches under the cross, I lose en
tirely my hope of salvation, and
take to the woods for safety.
Beppo.
A Memorial and Resolution of Ooh-

At 1:15 o'clock p m., Jane 12,
1902, our beloved brother npd W.
Dr. J. B Locus, was called
from labor to refreshment; and as
he ctnilingly obeyed the Divine
summons, we were reminded of
the fact that bo had* fought a good

faitb could see tbe crown of right
eousness that was laid up for him,
and the. beaming smiles ot the
great Architect as He, beckoned
him come and take np bis abode
in that house not made with bauds
eternal in the heavens, and,
Whereas, it has pleased God to
remove from our midst onr be
loved brother aud co-laborer;
Be it Resolved, By this lodge
that while we mournfully deplore
the loss of our brother and look
with' sorrowing hearts qpon the
place in the east made vacant by
bis death, we drop our heads in
bumble submission to tbewiirof
Goa. " ' .
We desire to extend to the be
reaved family our profooudest
sympathy aud implore divine pro<
tection and blessing for them, and
a& a token of the high esteem and
respect ^whierb we had for our
brother, * it is onr request that
these resolutions be spread upon

seated" to. the Times Enterprise

Philippine Bill Passes—It Endorses
Slavery.
Washington, Jane 26.’—At eight
o'clock tonight, at tbe end of a
nine hour session and ol a debate
lasting night and day fo^a week,
the house passed the Philippine
civi) government bill practically
as it came from the committee. It
was a party vote, 141 to 97, with
the exception of Mr. McCall, of
filassachosetts, who voted with the
democrats. The minority substi
tute for the establishment of a
temporary government in the
islands, and their permanent in
dependence as soon as a stable
government could be established,
was defeated 95 $o 136.
Mr. Patterson, democrat, of
Tennessee, offered an amendment
prohibiting slavery or involuntary
servitude iix tbe Philippines or any
other territory over which the
United 8tates should obtain juris
diction. He said that the United
8tates was the only civilized power
in the world which protected slav
ery. Gov. Taft before the insular
committee testified that the treaty
made by Gen. Bates and the Sul
tan of Jolo, which recognized
slavery was still in force. There
were today 300,000 slaves in tbe
Jolo group. Chiidren'~\ver6 sold
from -their parents.*'Girls were
sobjeot to the desires of their
masters.

ment with which was greeted tbe
bulletin posted at Buckingham
Palace at 11 o'clock tonight.
London, June 28.—The Daily
Mail this morning says that all
King Edward's functions are
working admirably. The dratn-
