Annual Banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce. New York, Nov. 19.—The chambor of commerce gave its 121st annusl banquet to- night. Many notables were present. Presi- dent Smith in his address referred to the nation's commercial interests and said to in- sure the success of the world's fair it must be located in New York. Ex-President Cleveland responded to the toast “Our Honorary Members.” He said there should be more business men in na- tional administrations. Many of the evils of pubiic life would speedily disappear if busi- ness men would take greater iuterest in pub- licaffairs. Referriog to the question “What shall we do with our ex-presidents,’” Mr. Cleveland hoped the country would not take the advice of the Iliinois editor who recom- mended that they be shot, He suggested the way to dispose of them was to let them alone apd give them a chance to earn their dmly bread in peace. Ex-Minister to England Phelps spokoe on “‘Commerce.” In the course of his remarks he said the first need of a good government is the right men o administer it. Better a hundred times an honest and capable ad- ministration with an erroneous policy than a corrupt and incapable administration with a good one. ‘Is there po reproach in this matter that busi- ness men and the best intelligence of this country should take to tuemseves! The considerations are above party lines and ap- plicable to all. Have we not on all sides, in too many cases, permitted ourscive: to Dbe marched out to vote for those who are not men, but only candidates? Give us men in places of public trust both great and small, Justice Miller, of the supreme court, spoke on the judiciary, He said the separation of the powers of government are not as perfect as they might be. The senato partalkes in the functions of the executive by tho re- quirement of its assent to his uppointments, and entrenches upon the judicial function by being a constitutional body to try im- peachments of governwent officers. The ju- diciary has assented and maintained its power with a moderation and discretion which has secured for it up to the present hour the confidence and resvect of the American people. In oclosing Judge Miller said he haa known a great man whose service of eight or nine years did not detract from his high clarac- ter as a statesman, but it might be doubted if the reputation which he had left as a chief justice would not stand _higher to-day with his countrymen 1f his fondness for political life had been less and the satisfaction with his judiclal position greater. ‘The toast ‘‘I'ne Mississippi, its relations to ocean commerce,” was responded 1o by Secretary Noble, who made an earnest speech in favor of the development of that groat river as a commercial higiway, —_— THE FAT 810CK SHOW, One of the Wild Horses Gets From the Cowboys.
