JW LAST EDinONl ATIHELY WARNING. George William Ourtis Approves Bishop Potter'B Sermon. He Thinks the Time and Place Well Chosen. Bishop Potter Stands by His Centennial Address. Clvll-ServIce Reformers Express Their Approval of It.

An Evtwiho Would reporter visited George William Curtis, tho faithful advocate of a reform of the civil servico and the adoption of methods which ehall tooure purity of elections, to-day to obtain his viows upon the much-talked-npon sermon of Bishop Potter. Mr. Curtis was found "spread out" on an invalid chair in the cosy study of his delightful Rtateu Island homo. "My bad leg is improving," he said, ash limped aoro8 the floor to gieet the reporter. "I played lawn tennis too hard last Summer and strained my log.

I think the time and place were well chosen, the thoughts were very sound, the words most utting.andthe whole occasion most impressive; and tho result, I have no doubt, will be most useful. "Bishop Potter seems to me to havebeon very unjustly accused of exceeding the proprieties and couiteHles of the ocensinu, but I know of no higher dutl that a Christian minister has to discharge than upon great publio occasions of this kind to measuro the ondnct of publio officers by tho plain principles of publio moral- There as nothing personal, nothing invld-Jous. nothing unfair In the sermon.

It was tho anniversary of tho inauguration or Washington: ho was speaking to Washington's site eossor and tho great olneors of Administration, and lio Frated simply, stronglv and clearly tho prinei-p'e that guided Washington and upon which he planted tho aoVernmout. A IOUNTA1N OK HOVOn NOT OK SrOILS. "He pointed out tho fact that Washington consciously and expressly governed his conduct by tho Christian law that ho regarded the Government as a fountain, of honor, and not of spoils; that tho holding of office under that Govemineut was to bo viewed solely as a trust and not rs a reward in any othor sense 'than his own caso illustrated, where the highest otllcowas bestowed noon him as a mark of tho utmost confidence of the peoplo in his strict ad-, herence to tho principles that ho professed. "If the statement of these well-known facts impressed any hearor with a souse of hi own shortcoming in such roitects. tho preacher wub no more guilty of a misuse of tho occasion than If the prcsenco of robbers ho had denounced theft.

"Tho only reason that I cau soo why ansbody should have supposed impropriety Is that tho critio felt that telling the truth about Washing, ton would rebuko somebody ele. "There is no man more thoughtful of all real proprieties; no man more candid, fairer or moro courteous in his treatment of pnblio questions that may havo personal bearings than Bishop Potter. "If it occurred to him in preparing his discourse that ho could not toll tho truths that were In his mind without an apparent peisonal application, he probably felt that his responsibility was to higher master than any one of his congregation. JACESOX AMD JEFFERSON. I think tho Bishop's explanation of the reference to Jeffersonian simplicity and Jaoksonlan vulgarity, which I have just read in The Woblp, is a ain.

simple and natural one. "In general I should say that in tho moment of natural pride and exaltation at the completion of the triumphant century of our Govern, ment the sermon was a strong expression of tho fact that, besides the great occasion for satisfaction whioh all tho other orators were sure to express, there was equal occasion to remember that in some respects we have fallen below the standard of the fathers. The pulpit was, perhaps, tne most proper place for snch an expression, because it is the duty of the pulpit to admonish and warn and call to repentance. IT WAS JiECEKSAnV. "In fact, I think that tho sermon of Bishop Totter as necessary to complete tho proper and true expression of the National foeling upon so great and significant an occasion.

"In regard to the situation in Washington's timo There was undoubtedly tho same general moral exaltation of foeling during tho Revolution that tliero was during tho civil war. A party feeling in our modern senso existed rather Prospectively than actually. That is to say, it centred nhnnt tho Constitution as favoring or opposing it. During Washington's Administration party foeling ran very high, as shown at the time of tho Jay treaty and the stoning of Hamilton when he made a speech in New York. "This was the party spirit against which Washington warned us in his farewell address.

But the peculiar venality which arises from regarding the patronage of tho Government as spoils, and which proseifls fifty or sixty millions of dollars as a priro to be fought for, and as the plunder of victors, did not yet exist. "Moreover, the direct use of enormous pri. ate sums of money nnder tho namo of legitimate election expenses had not vet begun. Buying of elections, in the sense with which we aro familiar in these days, was unknown in the time Washington. MEBCEMABr POLITICS.

"It is this mercenary cbaiactcr of politics which 'is tho result of an enormous patronage, considered merely as party spoils, which I suppose the Bishop to have hail in mind ju that pai-ilcular passage of his sermon referriug to tho degenoracy of the times. "The political methods with which we aro familiar, and which are collectively, known as tne machine, were then but just beginning. The spoils system leally bogan under tho old council of appointment in New York, but it was years before it soriously invaded tho Xiational Government. ODll CHIEF DANDER. I should say that onr obief danger it the present time is the onormous use of money, and of course an illicit use of money at elections and adlsnosltiontomakelightofit.

'One of the great benefits to be derived from cml-serrice reform is the regulation upon reasonable principles of tho vast expenditure of the Publio money fn the form of patronage.

Of oourso it is easy to mistake the utter- Alices of those who thrust thcmselvos forward as tho utterances of the people at large, and therefore to misjudge tho actual attitndo of the people as a whole. But it is the unfortunate characteristic of the timo that the people as a whole permit thcmselvos to bo publicly ropir-seuted by those whom Bishop Potter has so clearly and indignantly described.

Lawjer James B. C. Drew. ox-Attorney-General of Florida and now of this cits, a well-known scholar in merican history, said: "I think that tho Bishop address wan con-celved in bad tasto and totally unworthy of the occasion and the visiting guests. It seoms to me that tho comparison which he draws between the Uevoliitionaiy times and those of tho present Is not founded and sustained by tho history of those periods.

Ro it is to.dav. but the fact still lemains thai the appointments made by President Washington during tho two terms of his Administration were more or loss partisan in their character, which no one cau deny; that his Cabinets were composed iu the main of men of tho strict Federalists school, and that his Administration was conducted tonroinoto the intcrosti of tho Federal partv. This may bo suenbv examining thu cotitcinporaiii pus coi respondent of Humiltou, LUsworth, Knox ai others.

"But the most rcmarkablo portion of tho Bishop's address seems to ine to bo that which sought to depricatu the character and ltillueueo of Jefferson and Jackson. To say that the simplicity of Jefferson had come to bo tho vulgarism of Jackson, scorns to mo to be almost a crime against tho memories of thop great and patriotic men. who boro such a noli.e and honorable part In tho history of this country, and I regiet exceedingly as a citzen of hew York and of tho United Btotos that the Bishop should have chosen an occasion like this to havo delivered Btich an ill-advised and unintelligent criticism on the hlstoiyof the past and of tho present. Aside from Georgo Washjugton, I know of no two other namoa which have tieconm so dear to tho American people as thoso of Thomas JcfTeison and Audrow Jackson." NOT KBOM THE rBACTICAL SIDE OF LIIE. Lawyer Georgo T.

Dus store. Equitable Bnild-ing-1 think that tho cntlio address of Bishop Potter was largely born of that ignorance of the practical aftairs of lifo which is characteristic of some of thoso whoso timo and energies aro largely devoted to things spiritual. BISHOP rOTTEB RETRACTS NOTHINO. So far from retracting what ho said about the corruption of practical politics, tho degeneracy of statesmen, tbo curse of the money power and the departure from old-time simplicity, the Bishop nas been roused by these attacks to a re-iteration and amplification of his assertions. Bishop Potter repudiates the excuse offered by gome that his words of indignation may have slipped out unawares in his Bt.

Paul's sermon. "I meant it, every word of it," he said, deliberately, in an especially accorded interview. I said to myself, this is a solemn occasion, a very solemn occamon, and if ever man wero called upon to speak the truth, plainly and with- 2ut the veneer of sycophancy or time-serving, was that man. I felt deeply what I said and am rather surprised that I did not make myself entirely clear. Touching his much criticised remark about "Jeffersonian simplicity" and "Jacltsonian vulgarity." which has been generally regarded as an unfortunate blemish on an otherwise admirable address, ho said: ulganty, as I used it, did not refer to manners, but to tho political atmosphere.

Vulgar means The manners of the people may bo very high, but the moral tone very low. Look at Mime countries in Europe. "aim 'bo Bishop named them. Now you catch th idea. What is the vulgar definition of tho Presidential office? Why, it is that tho ollico is created for (and that tho man who fills it is theio to distribute) thu loaves and tishes.

But Unit's utterly wrong. Tho President is where he is for administrative pin poses. Remember, I'm no Mugwump I' I'vo been Republican allmyllfo never voted any other tickot slncu tho party ox- tsteel, but hate taiiv ami piatiuiues. i oo-liov in saj ing something that I at least assume to have a reason for beipg said. Besides, there were plenty of my friends, who, during tho Centennial occasion, wero suro to pay sounding oomplimentH to Mr.

Harrison and tho nation that honors him. I wasn't needed for that. I hadn't any place for it, mysolf. "Well, apply what I havo said abovo regarding my ostimato of the Presidential office to the presont situation. How much time has Hani-son given to statesmanship? Not an hour! Not an instant, bo far as anybody knows.

Ho was put where ho is to maintnii. tho nation dignity, to protect tho rights of tho poor and rich. to rule, not to engage in bartet and trade. But alas, what a spectacle we havo I We behold tho President of the United States of America intent only on getting Congressmen out of the house at midnight so that ho can go to bed! What's the use of beating about the hush in this matter? It makes me very tired." "Tho pulpit does not speak out as it shonld. These plutocrats are the enemies of religion, as they aie of the State.

And, not to minca matters, I will Bay that, while I had the politicia-is iu mind, prominently, there me nthnr. I tell you, Mr. Would, that I havo heard tho corrupt uso of money in elections and tho sale of tho sacred right of tho ballot openly dofonded by ministers of tho Gospel. Can I name names? Indeed.

Why, I havo had to listen to an argument intended to demonstrate that it was a citizen's right to cast his vote on the side of highest 'personal' intorot, even though that 'interest' were ono of dollars and cents.

Low. her Smith put iu his appeiranco at thoofilcoof the Commissioner of Publio Works and was seived by Under (sheriff John B.

Baxton with tbo ordci isucd by Judge Barrott jeuterdav, compelling him to show cause why ho should not turn over the books and records of tho ollico to Mavor Grant's appointee, Thomas F. Oilroy. Mr. Sexton had been hunting for Mr. Smith since' 1..30 p.

M. yesterday, and bad had his residence, TO West Eighty-third street, guarded all night, but Mr. Smith had successfully the Sheriffs officers and evaded sorvlco of the order. Mr. Hewitt's Commissioner said that, he had been engaged at his attorney and at hit cluhl Ho denied attempting to avoid tho service of Judge Barrett's ordet.

Under Sheriff Sexton said that he thought that Mi. Smith made tbo last statement with a mental reservation, as it is his opinion, that ho was keeping out of tho way until the injurtion order secured by him acaintt Mr. Oilroy was served on the latter. This order was issued out of the Superior Court and signed by Judge Truax after Mr. Gllroy had begun his proceedings.

Mr. Smith's counsel in the proceedings wero Mossts. Wstcibury Cox. TheyaBkcd that Ml. Oilroy be enjoined from commencing any logal proceedlngor continuing ono which might havo been commenced to compel Mr.

Smith to di liver possession of the books and records of the Department of Puhlio-Works to tho Tammany Hall Commissioner. They also asked that Mi. Gllroy be restrained from enteiing and taking possession of tho Department of Public Works building byfoico or violonco and from Interfering with Smith in the dnohargo of the duties of Commissioner. A third request was that Mayor Grant's ap- Sointie bo prohibited from ostablishtng an of-co of his own or performing the duties of Public Works Commissioner. Onh Iho secondot thue requests was granted, and Mr.

Oilroy nas prohibited from iu-tcrfering with Mr. Smith or taking tho office by forcible means. I don't think that bo will oppose the motion to make that injunction permanent. said Wm. II.

Clark, ono of Mr. Gilroy's counsel, this morning. It only enjoins us from doing something wo dldn propose doing. "It in no way interferes with onr logal proceeding and does not prevent us from establish, ing an office and performing tho dnties of Com. mtssioner." Will Mr.

Gilroy establish a new office Mr. Clark wan asked. Ho may bo compelled to. but that involves a request to the Sinking Fund Commissioners and additional expeuso to tho city, which we would llko to avoid. Mr Clark said that Mr.

Smith would probablv lie allowed his injunction hv default while his counsel push the care before Jndgo Barrett. "If wo are successful," said ho. "wo will locksmith up and the Sheiitt will be given a searrh warrant for the books and pacers. "Smith's failuro to give up the records is also a misdemeanor if wo prove our right to them." Mi.

TAMMANY MEN NOT WHOLLY PLEASED WITH GRANT'S ArTOINTMENTa Mayor Grant's appointments, first announced in the Sporting Extra of The Evenlvo Wobld yesterday, are not receiving unanimous and unqualified approval. Tho grumbling is confined almost exclusively to tho Tammany Hall organization, and particularly to the disappointed candidates and their backers.

The appointees who aro particularly objected to are tire Commissioners Robbma and Kick-hnff. Excise Commissioni Meakim and President of the Board of Health Wilson. Neither of thete men is identified with any Iiolitical organization, and Commissioner tobbins is even accused of voting the Republican ticket. The Tammany district leaders are not outspoken in their disapprobation, but they are far from being warm in their prsi while the tank and fllo do not hesitato to condemn. Of the objectionable candidates it is'said that File Commissioner Eickhoff has been continuously in office for a great many ears, and la taken out of the Fifth Auditors hip of the Treasury to bo given a SA.oou municipal berth.

He lives in tho Tenth District, but Leader Charles Stockier was not eousultcd about his appointment. Meakim and Ilobblns aro both from tho Eleventh District, Imt Bobbins gets tho position which was coveted by tho leader of that district, John J. Bcannell. President Wilson, of tho Health Board, resides in tho Thirteenth District but Leader Jamos P. Barber says that ho nover heard of him before the appointment was announced, and wonders where ills chance to become a Dock Commissioner has flown.

The now Excise Board expects to take possession of the office at Bond street and the Bowery to-moirow morning. INSPECTING HIS NEW OFFICE.

HARLEM'S NEW BRIDGE OPEN.

CROSSED ALREADY BY II0ST8 OF VEIIICLE8 AND FOOT PASSENGERS. It is an interesting fact that tho magnificent biidge which spans tho Harlem River at Ono Hundred and Eighty-first street has been open for a week and has beon crossed by a host of vcldc'eiand foot passengers. It remains for Tin Would to announce this fact to eouio of its contemporary sheets, as thov may ceasoto indulge In feverish conjectures as to what dnv the bridge will bo open. Tho Washington Bridge la a stunningly flno structure. Tho length is U.380 feet from Tenth avenue to Aqueduct avenuo.

The two steel arches, which rest on masslvo piers of masonry, are feet In length, and Washington Bridge is higher than High Bridge. 1 he cost has been S'-i, 700. 000. It has been built slnco 18KS and was finished within tho time specified by thu contracts. Tho gentlemen named as Commissioners nnder whoo able supervision tho Immenso commenced, pnhed forward and finished were Jacob Lorillard, Vernon H.

Brown and David James King. The name has bieu liapptlr settled, since important a publio way fittingly bears tho greate name in American history. Ihcru was question of calling it Boscabel Bridge, as tho 110,1 thcrn entiance takes up a rart of the Boscabel estate, which belonged to tho late William B. Ogdeu. The-bridgo is very accessible, as the Tenth Avenue Cable Road runs to its western entrance and tbo New York Central has stations near the northern entrance.

Over one hundred and fifty feet of land at either approach has been secured, and will be improved so as to make a handsome entrance. The new Washington Bridge and High Bridge aro only forerunners to numerous other granite an 1 iron wajs which will span tho river. The rapidly liicroasliigpoputatioii of the northwestern part of New ork City will demand still further faclltio for crossing 'ho Harlem. Washington Bridge is a credit to all concerned, and is an ornamont to Manhattan Island. ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.

Commissioner of Accounts Holahan said (his morning that It is quito probable that a thorough investigation of tho Department of Publio Charities and Correction will soon be instituted. Tho Commissioners of Accounts havo been led to this conclusion by the great number of charges of gross mismanagement of that Department, which havo been filed with them. Tho investigation will probably not bo inaug-mated until tho investigation of tho Buioau of City Revenue, of tbo Finano Department, on which tho ent.re force of thu ofllco is now engaged, is completed.
