New York, April 19.—Tyranny has
spread its hated banners over America’s
fair metropolis the past week. The teaoh-

which glare eternally from her pages are
lost on Mayor Grant. Two courses were
open to him, and he has elected to wield
the vast power bequeathed him by the
citizens in crushing the poor, long-suf¬
fering monopolist. It is in vain that the
h s. m. has endeavored to rise in the
world—presses, pulpit and people have
unitedly grabbed him by the slack of his
patient breeches and pitched him into

with Occidental splendor—metaphoric¬
ally and for our purpose it is the dirtiest
gutter in Gotham. Every class has ite
champion—except his. Charge a public
official with bring the poor monopolist’s
friend and he will sue you for #50,000
damages. Hunted, pursued end foully
attacked, has the meek monopolist no
rights which the public are bound to re¬
spect? At least he is still a human be¬
ing. Admit that Mayor Grant.
