CocecvececrevesevsenO, 19,680 ‘- EY KNOW WHAT TAMMANY MEANS : Salle EVENING WORLD does not believe that the saloon | and restaurant keepers of the city want a return of Tam-| many rule, iy should they? public could see what went on inside Sundays as well as other days. Whether this is the best way of enforcing the Excise law we aro not going to eay. But surely from the saloonkerpers’ standpoint it is better than eternally “slipping the green” to eomebody through the back door. Why ehould the saloon or restaurant man want to bear the bur- den of $25 monthly tribute money? Why should he want to do business under the constant necessity e@ equaring himself with eomebody? Why should he want to have thrust upon him the responetbilty, wm expense of running his district for the profit of bosses higher up? Why should he want to be forced to buy tickets for endless! Gowder parties; to supply free refreshments for every outing of | the boys”? Why should he want to run his business under conditions of con- , Mawual spying and insatiable graft? ‘Weuldn’t he rather be free to conduct his affairs himeclf and wa bis profits his own? Baloon men have some sence. ht Ws aot every bridegroom's father can give the young folks $94,000,000 to set up housekeeping. Luckily, though, there ts no bigh cost of happiness. a WHO HAS DONE THIS THING? RD NOW that the State tastes the full shame of having for the first time to impeach, convict and remove its Governor, let it ask itaelf one question: ‘Who did this thing? What power foisted this unfit man upon the people, thrust him into his place of high trust and then, when he failed to play its game, turned his sins against him? What bale- fal influence brooding over New York has brought upon it this disgrace? The Sulzer eun has set. When the people of the State begin to think, twilight and darkness will shut down on Murphy. A storm will buret that will blast Tammany Hall to its rotten foundations. — Lamar fails to appear in court and forfelts his ball.—News ftem. The “Wolf of Wall Street” has gone back to the timber. -———-t--—_ -— — UP TO YOU. To and to-morrow are your last chances to register. Don’t neglect plain duty. No man would admit that he cares too little about the city to say what shall become of it. Two weeks from next Tuesday the ballot box must decide whether New York is to be turned over to the old notorious gang of jobbers and contract grabbers or run its business under honest man- agement. Two weeks from next Tuesday must settle whether the city is to| be Murphy’s city or a city that can hold up its head and not he ashamed to look at its own accounts, Unless you vote you are betraying the city you live in. Unless you register to-day or to-morrow you can’t vote. It is up to you. —————— ‘Thomas Mott Osbome and Julian Hawthorne agree that what- ever takes a man to jefl, tt's an awful place when he gets there ‘Worse impressions have been current. —_—-4--— -— THE NERVOUS END OF LONG ISLAND. JHE RECENT SMASH at Whitestone and the verdict of the Coroner’s jury waked up the Long Islund Railroad to the nced ef installing a new cignal system. The company has Jaid Qafere the Public Service Commission plans calling for an automatic "Week eystem which can be controlled by hand but which makes it hmpessibte to eet a signal wrong. It would be good news to hear at the same time that the Long Band hed perfected an adequate plan to remove or safeguard the fmmumerable grade crossings on its lines. The western end of Long Island, with its close network of wecks and roads crossing and recrossing one another at every turn on the eame level, is a labyrinth of dangers. The past season has not been backward in piling up grim proof of the fact. Few areas in this country can show more peril to the acre, 4 Oct. 17, 1777, six thousand British troops under Gen, Burgoyne surrendered to Gen. Gates at Saratoga.

During the conversation replaced the paregoric on the shelf and put the faudanum bottle on the courter. When he went to put the bottle back he was horrified, as he believed he had sold laudanum for paregoric. He rushed to the street to Intercept the customer, but too late.
