TAMMANY WINS AGAIN.
The election of Judge Gay nor as
mayor of New York, representing as
He doe* the vicious anil corrupt in
fluences of the Tammany organiza
tion. give# j-Ue to the Question as to
whether the people of this country
really want clean and houest munici
pal government. Certainly the ma
jority of New Yorkers do not and
the defeat of Heney In San Fran
cisco shows a similar feeling in the
pacific Coast metropolis.
The sinister purposes of Taminauy
ball, ts gigautic grafting. Its pander
ing to vice in the most vicious aud
revolting forms, its protection of fav
ored criminals, have beeu so thor
oughly exposed In the past that there
U no excuse for any voter who can
read, or even talk, to misunderstand
ih? issue.
Evidently the majority of the New
York voters like to have their city
looted ou Lhe understanding perhaps,
that they have some slight finger in
the spoils, it is true that the oppo
sition to Tammany this year was
weak, that the interests opposing it
were themselves selfish. And it is
also true that Tammany wins even
Ui defeat, for as a well known New
York politician said:
"If they beat us we buy the win
ners."
It is discouraging, very discourag
ing, to the believer iu clean govern
ment, to see the foremost city of our
country ruled absolutely by a baud
bf political brigands.
Th? remedy? There seems to be
none, at least none that is effective.
MAN'S ERRANDS.
Toiling up and down the street, in
Ui? wintry snow, In the summer's
glare and heat, evermore we go; not
an hour have we to waste, till the
day is gone; in our frenzied, foolish
hast, always pressing on. In our
youth we're gray and bent; always
worried much, lest perchance an old
red cent may escape our clutch;
driving others to the wall, working
tooth and nail, making plans ? and af
ter all. what do they avail? Rustling,
hustling 1q the strife, adding to our
pile; missing all there Is iu life,
that Is worth our while. We've for
gotten how to play, since becoming
men; bring us back the yesterday,
make us boys again! Let's forget a
while the time swimming in the
ponds! Robbing nests of bumblebees,
for the honey heap, swiping apple*
from the trees, while the dog's
asleep; idle dream of Idle mind!
Dreams like this are wrong; sentenc
ed to the sordid grind, we must plod
along; wearing out the city's pave,
wearing out our souls; ever onward,
till the grave parts us from our rolls!
?Walt Mason.

Since the .Steel brothers assumed
the management of the Cordovan Al
askan the paper has shown great im
provement. The Alaskan is now an
(tight page sheet, is crowded with
advertisements and the news is. far
J??tter featured and handled than un
der the old management.
A sightless negro started to shoot
promiscuously in a saloon and killed
two men aud winged two more That

THE SPINNER.
THE spinner twisted her slender thread
As she sat and spun.
"The earth and the heavens nro mine."
she said.
"And the moon and sun.
Into my web the sunlight K?es
And Ihe breath of May
And the crimson life of the new blown
rose
That was born today."
fHHE spinner sang In the hush of noon,
Atid her *i?ng was low:
"Ah, morning, you pass away too soon!
Vou nro swift to go.
My heart o'erflows like a brimming cup
With Its hopes and fears.
Love, come and drink the sweetness up
l?r? It turn to tears."
THE spinner looked ut the falling sun.
"Is It time to rest?
My hands ure weary; my work Is don?.
i have wrought my best.
( have spun and woven with patient eyes
And with lingers licet.
Lo. where tho toll of a lifetime lies
In a winding sheet!"
