An account of a talk with Mr.. W. H. Wander
bilt is sent to THE TRIBUNE from Saratoga. 1t
will be entertaining reading to men who are
interested in railway securities in these days.
The West Shore bondhoders, especially, Will
learn therein Just where Mr.. Vanderbilt thinks
they will bring up-in the hands of the Central.
In that cise the last state Of those men will
doubtless be better than their first.
There are no signs of reform among the Pro-
hbitiOnists of this State. Evidently they
mean. or at least their leaders do, to go on
with the bad work of putting the Democratic
party in power-the party which has perslstently
helped the rum-sellers. Among their prospect
i've campaign speakers is Mr.. st. John, the
dummy candidate of the Democracy for the
Presidency last year. If Mr.. st. John would
only tell what he knows about the way he and
the Democratic National Committee worked
the Temperance men for all they were worth
ls>- fall in behalf of Mr.. Cleveland, he certainly
would draw great crowds to hear him speak.
The Connecticut Board OF Health has been
stirring up the towns throughout that snug
little State in regard to sanitary matters, Tor 1t
has been found out that most local officers fail
to take advantage of what legal powers they
do possess to guard the public health. Con-
necticut towns are not alone in shortcomings OF
this kind. Probably in majority OF small
towns and villages throughout the Union the
authorities are equally neglectful. Ignorance
is ,se cause OF their neglect in most instances
possibly. and a circular letter containing full
description of the powers of health officers
might properly be issued by every State Board
in the country to the authorities in its bailiwick
1t is q favorite trick of Democratic Admlnis-
trations to appoint to Office some quaquaversal
crank who once claimed to be a Republican, and
then make a great flourish OF trumpets over
their "non- -partisanship." So now in Phil
adelphia a bid has been made for the soldier
vote by making Pension Agent a man who
served with some credit in the Union Army. But
he was not only a soldier; he was also news
paper publisher and his organ during the war
was conspicuously virulent Copperhead sheet.
Moreover, he has made a particularly contempt
ible rebel clerk in his Office This Admins
traiiOn shows great fondness for men OF the
good Lord, good Devil" stamp. But the people
ore not to be gulled in that way.
In the midst of his business troubles Mr.. John
Roach seems to feel most bitterly the necessity
of throwing hundreds of American wOrknen
out of -emplOymcnt at his various shops and
shipyards. This is, indeed. an unfortunate
feature of his assignment, and in this time OF
business depression these laborers will doubt
less suffer much. Bat this stanch old ship
builder should remember. what certainly neither
his old employees nor the public will soon for
get that ship-carpenters in the United States
are directly indebted to the personal exertions
and influence of John Roach for the fair wages
they have received for many years past. Let
this sweet offset that bitter.
The expression on the faces of old-fashioncd
democrats in Orange County is said to be sour
enough to spoil the milk produced in that fertile
region if only they gaze upon it. The man they
wanted appointed Postmaster, and who by all
the traditions Of the Democratic party should
have got the place, has been put aside in favor
