Last evening Tammany completed its re-
venge upon the Irregular" Democrats OF the
Legislature by voting with the Republican
Senators for their nominee for Clerk. The re-
suit was the election of John W. VrOOman, the
Republican candidate, and the consequent de-
feat of Daniel S. Lamont, the Democratic can
didate The defeat of Lamont is particu-
larly bitter pill for Anti-Tammany to swal-
low. He is one of the propretors OF
The ArguS-the chief organ of the regu-
lars"-and was put forward and pressed
10y Daniel Manning, the chief proprietor OF
that paper and chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. In view of these facts the
Joy of Tammany can readily be imagined
"Time at last sets all things even" Last
fall Mr.. Manning, actively aided and abctted
bv Mr.. Lamont, was largely lnstru-
mental in having the Tammany delegation
thrown out of the State Convention. Last
evening, in the very city that was the scene
of his humiliation, John Kelly compelled Daniel
Manning TO bite the dust They laugh best
who laugh last. 1t is evident that up to date

AMERICAN HUMOR AND COMNON SENSE.
Mr.. Oscar Wilde is troubled about the lack of
seriousness in American newspapers. He says they
attempt TO treat all subjects humorously. We are
not surprised that Mr.. Wilde takes this view. His
perusal OF American newspapers is IA urally con-
fined chiefly to their observations upon himself and
we are glad 10 chronicle the fact thlt they all take
a humorous view of him. In this they crely echo
the sentiment of the American people, who, in one
way OF another, are extracting a good deal
of amusement from Nlr WildGs visit. If
he expected to be taken seriously when
he decided to vis this country he did SO simply be-
cause he misunderstood the American character.
We are a nation that likes to Laugh, and that has
sense of the ludicrous which is eu with cons ant
cultivation. Before Mr.. Wilde arrived ere was in
some quarters "a disposition TO take him seriously
and to protest against giving him lit rary and social
recognition. Tins grew out Of an idea that be was
coming hor' as an exponent of art and as repre-
sentative of Literature and those who had examined
hi claims Tor rccogn ion in either character We're
not fay.rably impressed by them. But it
was impossible to hold this view long. received
almost fatal shock when Mr. W l.de expressed
hims Ii dis ppointed n ... he Atlantic Ocean,
and At vas completely dissolved in the litter which
ran over ChcLcIiue Hall, when, arayed in his
peculiar costume, he stood forth to deliver that
exceedingly commonplace lecture hich has been
apily called Ruskm and Water"
From that time tall the present the whole country
has looked upon MI. Wide as Che most successful
aInuseiacnt Of the season. Wherever hr has al,-
prared, some new way of enhancing the pubIics
enjoyment has been invented. College students il

Writing on Tuesday, December 27, 1881, The
Rochester Union, one OF the most sagaclous and IN
fuential of the Democratic papers of this State
used the following language: " In one week from
this time the Legi ature Of 1882 will organize at
Albany and begin the labors of the session. The
two Houses are Democratic by small majorties.
AS that majority acts wisely or unwiNely,
so will the party it represents he made strong or
weak in the GubernatOrial contest of noXt fall and
by consequence in the Presidential election Of
ISS4D Since the Legislature of 1882 did not or
ganize zone week from this December 27, 1881
timc.r the Assembly not organizing until some six
weeks later and the Senate being not yet organized
since the beginning of the llbOrs of the session
has suffered a proporiOnately outrageous delay !;
since bv common consent the majority has not acted
"wiselyD but Gagrantly "unwisely,' The Union
NUT fain acknowledge that its party Is made
alarmingly fatally weak in the Gubenatorial con-
test of next fall and by consequence in the Pres-
DENTAL election of 1854" And in view of this fact
we suggest to the Editor of The UHiOR W ose posi-
tion as ex-charman of the Democratic State Com
mittee gives any piece of advice which he chooses
to present to the party peculiar weight, that he
forthwith write an article for The Union coun-
selling the Democracy not to run any candidate for
Governor of New-YOrk in 1882, or for Pre- ident OF
the United States in 1854, and to devote the time
which they expected to put into hose cauyasses to

The experiment of cleaning the streets by
contract is not working easily. Yesterday the
cartmen in one district struck for increased
wages, and apparently were surprised when
their demand met with a favorable response
Even then they were not happy. They began
to fear that the day would come when the con-
tractor would take his revenge by using his
own carts, the large size of which all profess
sional street-cleaning cartmen consider as
personal insult. The complaint was that soon
a lot of "cheap Italian brigands" would be
hired at dollar day. 1t is likely that they
will be- and their cheapness will be no draw
back if they can do as much work and do 1t as
well as expensive Irishmen with political
influence Commissioner Coleman in his dis
trct is not having much trouble, AS he repre-
sents the municipal corporation, which has no
soul to be terrified by threats of strike II
the contractors fail to accomplish their task,
undoubtedly this trouble with the wOrkmen
will figure conspicuOusly as reason for Their
lack of success.

Albany quarrel was very badly managed. The

treated was nexcusabe and unwise. The Buffalo
Courier while not admitting this says gloon,ily Of
the future II may be admitted that the number
of Democrats who at present feel disposed to take
hopeful view of their party's immediate prospects
in the State cannot be large No one affects to be-
lieve that the political situation IS to-day the

The proprietor of that exploded powder magazine
at Chester is of the opinion that he took proper pre-

learn what he would REGARD as an utter and hagrant
disregard of proper precautions. A stove in pow

slves cannot be hi, idea of proper precaution. Or
if it is it is not the publics. Perhaps the public is
at fault in regard to its conception of proper pre-

Between fire and water various parts OF this
country are now suffering severely. Ihe
losses by fire at Chester and Haverhlll were
of life and property but happily the reports
of the floods in the Mississippi Valley speak
only of the destruction of houses cattle and
crops. This. however, is serious and wide
reaching. as the land on both sides of the
river for fifteen miles is reported to be under
water The prospects of relief are not bright
for the Ohio is three feet above danger line
