4 am TO-DAY, Madame, "a pcnnilcss man.
We cannot refrain from again congratulatins
Gov COOKE on his relief from the gre t din
Guilty in spending his income which ho was
lahoring under when In this city. He was here
to got the editor Of TnE Sun sent to Washing
ton to be tried before u one-horse-or one-ass-
court, for publishing the truth about the NAL
administration, by himself and his associates,
Of the Government OF the District " Columbia.
IL was not long ago. Yet at that time Gov.
COOKE put on great airs about his wealth and
boas'e that he could not spend one-tenth OF
his income.
II what he said then was true and what no
says now IL true, the change In his CONDITION
has been both sudden and great Ones SYM
pathy Ia a little touched to learn that he Is now
"penniless man"

said COOKE. That every one can believe. And
III ltCt paint W 1ull nc Oh very llltlo hno w h'h
now. IL cannot be put on thick enough to
cover up the truth any LONGER The day ot the
utility Of paint to Coy, COOKE has gone by. II
he had money he would not need the paint and
not having the money he need not sigh for tho
paint because 1t would not avail him.
And "a for CooKE's lament that he cannot buy
paper. he must feel very differently about other
peorlc's paper from the way they feel about hia.
CooKE has not enough of other pcople's paper,
while they have too much of his that is the
difference.
CooKr said that he had nowhere else now
that he could so except his sons house.
We would suggest that he should go to the
renitentiary. We know that Washington has
no institution OF this kind but the law provides
that Washington delinquents may be sent to
our Ponftcntiary at Albany. and we would greet
Cooke ON his arrival In this state on route to
Albany with all the warmth with which he pro-
posed to hail our advent at Washington.
Mr.. District Attorney HARRINGToN doesn't
know too much. but we think he knows enough
To draw up an indictment against COOKE for
misdemeanor in onice that would stand better
than lis complaint against us did.

In the South the carpct-oaggers have
shown their shrewdness by generally cnlistinI

dogmas Of their own invention but they ar
