Convention. and also for the transaction Of such

| 1t is understood that Mr. Morrison has had
| million or moro cards struck of for his use in
replying to the question When are you going to
call up your tariff bill 7" Each one of these cards
bears the legend "NOt to-day, some other day,
good day "-well-a-day.
| Mr. Robert b. Roosevelt in a letter to The
Rochester Post E1press declares that there is only
one way for the Democracy to win 1.-THE Presidency
and that Is to climb into power over the shoulders
and upon the back Of John Kelly" Why cert'nly
But once at mass meeting called to show the rats
how they could circumvent the cat, speaker-he
was lusty dock rat-explained that his own and
his brethren's aim would be accomplished just as
soon rs they succeeded in belliug the cat. Then
| some one said to the speaker, ayes, but who's
going to bell him ~ The dock rat was unable to
answer, and deep gloom fell upon the meeting
which had not lifted when our paper went to press
Does Mr.. Roosevelt happen to know the name
and address of the metropolitan Democrat who will
axe the contract to bell John Kellyi
The Troy Press has already manufactured Cab
met for Mr.. Tilden In which Roswell p Flower

Isn't The Pres perpetrating anti-climax at Mr..
Flowers expensef When last heard from our con-

A word of warning for Mr. Morrison from The
Chicago Times tells him that he "shoud take care
not to fall into the of regarding enthusiasm
for tariff reform as a Presidential boom for Morri-
son." The enthusiasm for the sort of tariff reform
of which Mr.. Morrison is the exponent, alike in
volume and intensity is about par with the en-
thusasm which Ohio people have for freshets, or
Kansas people for cyclones or Colorado people for
potatobugs. If MI. Morrsons boom naterializes
any time before July when the Democratic NaiOnal
Convention is held, it will be in spite vi and not
because Of horizontal reduction.

before the Governor, if 1t becomes a law, will
have a curious effect 1t will give each patrOlman
hereafter appointed O salary of 81 900 the first
year. 81 100 the second year. andS 200 each subse-
quent year. The act Of $50 makes the salaries $500,
5000 and 81 900. Under the State Constitution
the Legislature is forbidden to increase the
salary of an officer during the term for which he
was appointed. Hence, the patrolmen appointed
since 1850 cannot get the benefit of the increased
pay unless they resign and are reappointed. pro-
vision in the bill gives to each policeman hereafter
retired one-haf Of his regular salary pension.
But policemen heretofore placed on the pensOn-list
receive only One-third their former salaries; and
there is no way that this allowance can be In
creased under the act. One-quarter of the excise
fund, about $137, 900 annually, is to be apprOpri
ated for the police pension fund In starting out to
maintain civil pensiOn-st the city is proceeding
on liberal scale. There is no reason why police
mon should receive more favors than the firemen,
school teachers and other municipal servants.
1t appears that the spread of trichnOss is seldom
if ever caused by the consumption of cooked meat
all the worst. and we think every one Of the fatal
cases, having followed the eating of pork.
The Germans are most addicted to this habit, and
they have suffered much from it that they ought
to be prepared to abandon practice which is alike
barbarOus and unwhOlesOme. Death by trichlne Is
terrible painful and revolving and since it is nearly
certain that it can be avoided by the simple
precaution of cooking all meat thoroughly and
especially pork and ham, 1t ought not to be
difficult to persuade the eaters Of raw meat to
change their ways in this respect
