THE DOCTORS DUCK TRAP.

Several years ago Dr. Gimp fell vic
tim to second adventism. Not far from
the back OF his kitchen he built n plat
form some twenty feet high and capable
of holding his entire family. Here they
were to gather and prepare to ascend
when Gabriel blew his horn. But Gabriel
didn't come, e,and Mrs. Gimp dried apples
on the platform all summer. In the fall
Gimp, thinking 10 help things along,
made big horn about ten feet long and
four feet across the big end. He polished
the inside of it till it was bright, painted
the outside green, and hung it in a big
tree over the platform. Gabriel didn't
blow however, and in the spring, when
the wild ducks commenced TO fly
north, Gimp rigged up a tallow dip,
and, pointing the big end of the horn due
south, set the lighted dip in the little
end. Then he sighted the durn thing
till it pointed straight at his back kitchen
window. The streak of light that shot
out OF the big end Of that horn looked
like an aurora borealis. First thing
Gimp knew duck flew into his horn
and went like shot through the kitchen
window. The duck was flying so fast
that he didn't burn himself or put out
the light either, but he fell inside with a
dull thud. One hundred and thirty
seven ducks went through that horn
nineteen OF them eanvas-baeks. Every
time eanvas-back would go through
the horn would give a loud toot, and
Gimp would wake up and screech:
Gabriel, by gumv Then he'd 60 into
the liehen and find it was only another
duck. You SEQ what made the horn
blow was the scraping Of the canvas on
the ducks backs.

co 10 TILE POLLS EARLY.

The outlook to-day strongly favors the Re-
publican ticket. Every consideration OF good
government appeals in behalf OF its success.
But desperate men are arrayed against it. The
men who banded together with Tweed, in the
worst conspiracy that ever dishonorcd this
State. are working with might and main in be-
half of Hill. Many of thcm are candidates be-
fore the people. "Tim Campbell, stony
Hartman, "Fattyr Walsh, and Others OF
Tweeds lieuteDants are Democratic candidates
in this city to-day. Ex-Judge CardoZo, ii. W.
Genet, late of the peDitentiary. and every man
who was conspicuous in the Tweed Ring IS
working earnestly for Hill. In Brooklyn his
counsellor, guide and campaign leader is Boss
Mclaughlin. In the State old Canal Ring con-
tractors. like Willard Johnson, of Oswcgo. are
candidates for the l. legislature and other places
of last. If decent people consider what the
success Of such men means, there will be no
doubt of the result.
The men who did not hesitate 10 forge
naturalization PAGERS by the thousands in The
DAYS of the Rrng-tle men who made mockefy
of honest elections-are making vigorous
effort TO regain power to-day. Let no feeling OF
over-coniidcnce influence a single voter who
desires good government to remain home. 10

against Hill and his Tweed Ring associates.

that the Typographical Union of this city has
for long time been in state OF
violent discomfort with The TRIB-

situa ion. As the agreement made by its officers
has now been repudiated by the Union, few
words from US are IN order.
The Union severed any relations with THH
TRIBUNE. and left this Office voluntarily, nine
wears ago Since then. except by trick. for a
few weeks, in the absence of the principal pro-
prietor, the Union has never had any foothoid
in the Office. or any claim upon it.
The TRIBUNE paid liberal wages-the
whole force, old and young fast and slow,
men and boys, averaging twenty dollars
per week. as shown by the statements
of the men themselves. printed on the
first page. The weekly wages in fact
were considerably above tho Union
scale. year ago, however,
and again quite lately. the officers of the
Union approached The TRIBUNE with
the complaint that its price for

Though enabling men setting the "fat"
