New YORK, March 20, 1888.
Now that the tariff agitation is
ended and Congressman and Sena
tors have returned to their homes,
the political world is duller than
even the Lenten season. Scores of
legislators have been in town during
the past few weeks, but not even by
the most assiduous cudgeling of
brains have they: been able to dis
cover anything new. When every
thing else fails the Presidential ques-
ton In 1884, forms a faithful topic
however. "Don't you make any mis-
take" said a Michigan statesmen to
me the other day in the rotunda of
the Astor House. "Butler will be
the Democratic nominee, and he will
be elected too. 1t is an extraordi-
nary time and it needs an extraordi-
nary man 10 jump in"
The legislative mill at Albany is
grinding away. There is not much
fuss made over the matter but our
Democratic representatives are do
ing some good things. A notable
thing this year is the total absence
of scandals of corruption, so far as
the Tammany men are concerned
A man who is inside tells me that
Mr.. Kelly has issued a mandate an
n~ouncing that any Tammany man
found toying with tempters would
by that act kill his political future.
The present Board of Police JUS
tees of the city, will very likely be
legislated out of office. In fact it is
almost an assured fact. That ex-
plains why a number of leading
Democrats who were offered the po-
sitions which became vacant a few
month ago declined the honor with
thanks.
When the poet wrote about Spring

Central Park was thronged with PEG

with vehicles Of every description
from the homely grocer's buggy to

people who ate drank and enjoyed
life as this beautiful day, made it to
the fullest extent. On Jerome Park
the white sheeted racers were flying
up and down the track in happy sat
isfaction e%mu!ating in seeming con
tentedness the little boys who were
riding them. One could not help
thinking a little colored lad who
held the reins over the Fred Geb,
hard's great cup horse Eole, some
what too late. He whistled the air
"Wait till the clouds roll by, darl,

have been praiseworthy had there
been any clouds. .

The City Pound.

The usually quiet and well disposed
people of West Mankato are highly in.
censed about the manner the affairs of
the city pound are being administered
under the new regime. 1t is set forth as
grievance that it is emphatically run
ming the thing into the ground for the
pound master to invade their domain,
driving their mich cows up out of their
quiet beds ut IL o'clock ut night and
hurrying them of some two miles, at
the extreme east end of the city, there
to be imprisoned in close and suffO.
eating pen without food or drink, while
their owners search for days in the brol.
ing sun without avail, and at last are
told by kind neighbor "perhaps the
pound-master or his young subalterns
are short of milk and of cash with
which to inaugurate the approaching
Fourth Of july" BE that rs it may,
III view Of the fact this part of the city,
West Mankato), is sparsely populated,
the range for feed is now large and very
prolific, that their COWS are not vicious,
there being no sidewalks to be detilcd
by them or complaints by the neigh
bOrs, these, and many other facts, all
going to establish the grievous wrongs
to which they have recently been sub
jected, embOlden them to ask the Hon.
orable City Mayor to grant them eX-
emptiOn from this invasion of "cOw-
boys" whose doings are manifestly I'M
authorized and clearly prejudicial to the
spirit and intent of the ordinances, and
bylaws of the city of Mankato. The
West Enders are law-abiding people,
and their bovines being we'll fed and
kindly cared for at home, partake to a
large extent Of the exceptionally good
behavior and worthy examples of their
owners. s.
