THE GAIErY COMPANY AT The STANDARD.


The crutch and toothpick brigade of London and
NewYork appeared In force at The Standard Theatre
last evening, and gave the London Gaiey Burlesque
Company the heartiest Of greetings The majority Of
the large audience OF English birth English
sympahies, and they welcomed with all their warmth
TO these American shores the favorite burlesqus
company OF the English capital. Tho theatre was
filed to It's outer edges and the applause frequent
loud and long Miss Nelly Farren, Frederick leslie,
Miss Marion Hood Miss Lefty Lind and others
received with proracted of favor
and huge baskets of flowers carried 70 the stage
by a procession of ushers after the second act Tho
company is extremely strong in NUMBERS and when
all the people were the stage there was no
standing room to spare. Never was bar.

Mat THE CROW COMET

IL Is not impossible that the American crow Is
destined to get out from under the ban that has
so long rested upon him and to be awarded an
honorable place among edible birds. To eat
crow, from time immemorial has been generally
accepted synonym in political circles for disap-
pointmcnt and vcxation of spirit The neares'
thing TO a compliment that the crow ever received
was framed by person who remarked KIN
cat crow but / don't banker after him. But
Professor +. L. Morse. of Chicago, now nobly comes
TO the rescue of the crows reputation. According
TO the terms of an election bet to which he was a
party he was to eat dish of cooked crow in case
he lost He lost, ate his crow and then told a
reporter Of The Chicago Tribune how he en-
joyed the meal
This unimpeacned witness testifes that crow
has decidedly gamey flavor, but that he had
eaten woodcock and even rail that were
GAMER Instead of being phenomenally tough, he
found crow as tender as hali-grown grouse. In
response to the pivotal question Now, honor
bright can you recommend crow ?" the professor
expressed himself as follows:
That depends, refecuvely answered the pro-
fessor. "You SEQ this bird has long posed a
creature OF ill-omen, It Is best with coarse an
appetite itself and tradition and common opinion
have so long mallgned II that / couldn't recommend
It to whose palate Is much affected by his imag
inatlon. But TO a man who can SIT down TO table
might take its place along with prairie chicken
or woodcock HIS menu. l say for myself that
1 should have thought tho bird ] ate belonged to
ono of the edible game species. without any suspicion
Of crow, had not known beforehand what It was'
1t Will be proud day for the crow when this
good opinion of him becomes widespread Gross
injustice has doubtless been done him. and it
should be atoned for as soon as possible. Still
the crow must be patient. 1t takes time to eradi-
cate deep-rooted prejudice. Very likely for sew
cral months yet, and perhaps longer, the canvas
back duck, the quail, the woodcock, will be in
greater demand for game suppers than crow.
Rome was not built in day, and the crow will
make an ass Of himself if he imagines that he is
going to secure place on all the bills of fare the
country over without delny.
How fortunate some people areI No
sooner do our friends, the Democrats,
become committed to the consumption OF
illimitable crow than the discovery is made that
crow is the peer of the birds that find greatest
favor with the educated palate. Verify this is a
unique exhibition of Cleveland's luck"

Just because it has small population and is
away up in the woods, Franklin County should
not be overlooked in giving credit for tho great
Republican triumph of last week. 1t not only
did nobly, but it almost broke the record of
New-York Counties. Twenty years ago it re-
turned a Republican majority of 1,104. This
has been increased steadily, year by year, until
in ss4 it was 900, and this year people thought
the county might rise to the height of the oc-
casion with 1000. Well it did 1t did bet
ter. 1t gave Republican majority of 2,72s an
increase Of more than thousand in four years.
On the whole, this is "a record of which the

when it says that the predictions that David B.
Hill will he the nominee of the Democratic party
in 1892 come entirely from Republican sources
We would direct its attention to the statement Of

most influential Democratic journals in this State.
On Thursday, November 8, two days after the
election, The Eagle" said ANY Western
Democrat who is to be nominated in 1892 for
President will have to furnish stronger, longer
and better proofs Of his ability to carry New
York State than Governor Hill has done. Other
wise the Democracy of the Union will be as
earnestly for Hills nomination for President as
the Democracy of the Empire State will unani-

In the whirlwind Of news Immediately sue
ceeding election day, the report gained currency
that Northumberland Jones had been badly
beaten In his own county Of Broome. This was
untrue and cast an undeserved reflection upon
General Jones. The fact is that he ran far ahead
of the rest of the Democratic ticket leading Mr..
Cleveland by Al 8 and Mr.. Hill by 81 votes. This
attests his popularity among his neighborS and
shows that in Broome County at least honest
clectiOneering is better than the interruptions
trclscry which characterized Governor HIPS can
vass. We would prefer a Republican in the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS chair; but since that is de-
MED us at present, we are glad to have good a
man as General Jones. Perhaps continued asso-
citation with the Republican majority in the Sen
ate will some day cure him of his bias toward
Democracy, which is the only fault we have to
find with him.

10 Chairman Mcconnell, which had the
effect Of bringing the chairman TO Nash
