absolute control of boss. Tammany is run by

The question whether they will be able to pull
together in this Presidential year is an important
one Tammaay feels pretty independent now, and
will probably be disposed to make the County BODY

nominations comes.

,unnly was contaminated by the contigulty oil
the reservoir to place of burial. DR.. Mac
donald is moderate in his proposal and would
not crematc the body of any person who made
an antc-mortem objection to such post-mortem
treatment. In cases of death from contagious
diseases there are strong arguments in favor OF
compulsory cremation. The figures given by
Sir Henry Thompson in the January "Ninc-
tecnth Century" show beyond question that
burial in such cases is simply sowing the secds
OF disease. The cost of cremation on the lines
laid out by the Superintendent of the City In
sane Asylum would not be large; the advan-
tagcs would be numerous and great.
A letter from Mr.. Blaine published this
morning withdraws his name $50 far as it is in
his power to do SOY from the consideration OF
Republicans for the nomination in their APP
preaching National Convention. This letter is
no surprise to those friends of his who have
known how reluctant he has been from tho
outset to give the sanction even of silence to
such consideration. 1t is the simple fact that
Mr. Blaine was almost dragooncd by his friends
into the candidates. of 1880 and 1884, and that
he has constantly assured them that ne would
not be put in the position of even seeming to
seek a nomination again. 1t has long been
evident that nothing but his own positive
action could prevent denomination this year.
and so he has finally felt forced TO say TO the
public what he has been saying in private.
We regret the decision profoundly. since we
have believed that he would command moro
votes in the doubtful States than any other
Republican yet proposed. But various candi-
dates, all excellent men and deserving well of
the Republican party. are actively in the field;
and the next few weeks may be expected to
present some unusually lively politics. May

THREE BROOKLYN CONTINENTS.

To- c,tv NJ its size and wealth. Brooklyn has
shown remarkable lack OF public spirit In erect
ing shafts or statues to commemorate great men
and notable events. Although one OF the note
worthy conflicts of the Revolution, the l@attle OF
Long Island, was fought within her present Dor
ders and many thousands OF her sons fell IN the
Civil War. only simple brass plate in Prospect
Park marks the spot where the battle was loushC'
and the only memorial in Brooklyn to the soldiers
who sacrificed their lives to save the Union was
erected by this city in Greenwood. No public
souare in Brooxlyn is decorated with o monument
to civic worth or military renown save the plaza
of Prospect Park where stands the statue repre-
scntinr Lincoln reading the Emancipation ProcIa-
nation In Prospect Park are busts OF irving
Moore and John Howard Payne; but no other
man has been similarly hOnOred in the third Guy
of the United States.
IT, Is high time that Brooklyn should redeem
her reputation There now three plans Tor
public memorials which should be speedily car
ried into effect The first Is for suitable mohu-
ment to the memory Of the soldiers ana sailors
whose lives were lost on Southern oat1ie-neluS'
The sum of 100000 has been appropriated for
the purpose and it is proposed to erect the memo
rial in City Hall Park. The site has been injured

I monument in honor of the 10000 Revolutionary
soldiers who persisted from starvation ana disease
on board the British prson-ships which were
moored in the Wallabout Bay from 1875 to 1855
and whose bones, gathered from the SHALLOW

where the bones are buried.

Brooklyn Republican League and the Lincoln
Association of Jersey City are to occur. The
Brooklyn League is an influential organization
and good results have followed its work In be-
half of the party. With list of speakers In
Gliding Senator Evarts Senator Hawley, Cen
eral Sherman, ex-senator Miller. Colonel niger
soil and ex-Mayor Low, the Leagues dinner
cannot fail TO go off prosperously.
1t appears that the Buffalo delegates to the
coming Democratic State Convention are not
likely to be in favor Of National delegation
that will support Mr.. Cleveland for renomina-
ton. When the President learned this it must
have panied him that the city which was his
home SO long had "gone back on him." He
was advised, however, that little patron
age" judicCusly doled out might turn tho
scales in his favor. Appointments in and for
Buffalo will I've scanned with interest in the
course of the next few weeks.
The Bridge Trustees will try to determine
to-day where the Brooklyn terminus of thu
railway should be. There Is one important
thing for them to bear. in mind the decision
to-day ought to be a final one and settle the
question permanently. There is no demand
that the Bridge railway shall be extended 10
the City Hall, and there is no reason why IL
should be- That matter cannot rightly DE
factor in the consideration of the main ques-
ton. That is. the terminus decided upon TO-
day should not be selected with the idea that
the City Hall extension may be constructed at
some futurc time Let the trustees understand
this clearly and let them keep this constantly
before them in determining point OF CONSIDER
able moment to Brooklyn.
Lieutenant Governor Jones is amOltlOus.
The object of his ambition, as VIII DC seen
by perusing dispatch from our Albany corfe-
spondent, is the nomination for Governor
. low Mr. David B. Hill regards the aspirations
Aof the man from Bnghamton does not appear;
but Jones really seems to be in earnest. AT
frst thought people will find it hard to believe
that be is so. Jones with his scales and his
voluntary payment of the freight seems gro
tesaue in this capacity. But Jones's claims
are not to be lightly dismissed. = lie claims to
have saved the Democratic ticket In 1885 when
Roswell p. Flower put the party in hole. and
he worked the county fair address business for
it's full value last fall. An interesting question
is. What is to become of Governor Hill? Well.
if Mr.. Jones is ambitious, why shouldn't MIR.
Hill be ambitious too?
DIR. Macdonald's suggestion that the bodies
of the unclaimed dead in the public institutions
of the city be burned instead of buried is one
that will meet with the approval OF every
practical mind. 1t is shown that the buildings
on the islands are cncroaching upon the bury
ins-Rrounds, and that In one case the water

According TO the Governor Of the Empire State,
there will be no divisions among the Democracy
this year, But, il we are not mistaken, there
was very decided division not long ago in the
Democratic State Committee: division, too with
the parties SO evenly matched that thirty ballots
could not put an end TO it.

may appear gloomy to some, the
banks of the river high and the bot
tom dry and unpromising yet, show
ers Of truth falling upon the western
hills will tren thitherwards and meet
ing the tide of political right as it
flows along its Southern bed will
swell the currant till upon its bosom
the grand old party ship will ride
till Like a thing of life," she'll cross
the inlets and grace again the bright
blue surface of its predestined home
Mark the prediction. The Demo
cratic party can't remain inactive
and out of power. Defeat has never
paralized her energies although she
has dwarfed in physical strength till,
at times, she has looked rife for a
funeral rather than like a creature
blessed with hope. She has stood
in the midst of every trial and having
suffered all that malignant enemy
could heap upon her she still stands
the admiration of all save spoils-
men and rogues. 1t is the only party
of principle outside of the Prohibition
party and the Free Sufragist. They
do claim to be founded in justice,
fair dealing and prohibitory truth
and, as such, are entitled to respect
but, there is no other party save that
of the Democracy whose life is neces-
sarially perpetual and whose destiny
is immortal. Principles, founded
upon holy precept, can never pass
away. The eternal years of their
divine Author are given for their
continuance and final triumph and,
therefore, our confidence in Demo-
cratic infnity.
Truth though crushed to earth will
rise again
The eternal years of God are hers
Whilst error, wounded, writhes in
pain
And dies amid its worshipers."

THE SIXTH OF NOVEMBER.
BY C. E. B.

On the sixth of November,
How well [ rmember,
Twas the national election day;
And we knew our doom
In the afternoon so gay
When the Republicans were looking
But remember kind friends,
We make no amends,
| am sure our work was intent,
For we worked soon and late
For our good Old North State,
And our noble and true President.
But of course he must 60,
We Democrats all know,
While we hate to bid him adieu,
But it's only four years
We will have to shed tears,
For he'll be President in ninety-two.
Now we feel very sad,
That we were beaten so bad;
Although we must yield to our fate,
But you bet we felt good
When we all understood State.
That we carried the good Old North
Economist.

THE present legislature contains,
says the News and Observer, I9
lawyers, II in the Senate and 8 in the
House. We always feel safe when
a respectable number of the legal
fraternity represent the interest of
the State in legislative council.
While we believe in having every
class of our respectable callings
represented in the legislature yet, we
would see always there a goodly
number of wise and prudent lawyers
because, to them, alone, we look for
deliverance from statutary confusion
and legal monstrosities which often
lead to expensive suits, consequent
social descriptions and personal hates.
WITH this issue ends another
year, with all it's tolls, disappoint-
ments, its pleasures, profits and adj
vantages. At its close we can look
back over the past with but one
regret and that, we were not more
intensely what we were or. professed
to be in all respects.
We claimed to be the special adj
vocates of the fishermen and farmers
of our State and, especially, of our
section and, in espousing their joint
cause, we considered it our duty to
declare sound political principles as
well as industrial and material truths.
Every man and every calling is in
terested in and affected by the polit-
ical conditions of State and Country
and. when it is in the power of any
man or journal to aid the people in
perfecting the ends of political gov
eminent, it is his or, its bounden
duty so to do and should be most
perfect pleasure. In this light we
have ever viewed the situation in the
past and, being without cause for
change of views, we shall, in the
future, persue the same course even,
as we trust, with greater faithfulness
trying, however, as much as duty will
admit, to give offense to none but,
measuring unto all proper portion
In due season.. <~:
We thank our friends for liberal
patronage during the whole Of the
past year and ask a continuance of
their favors and good wishes. This
year we hope to be able to perfect
certain plans and form new associa-
tons which will render us doubly
able to continue the FISHERMAN
AND FARMER in its onward course
of help and influence in this commu-
nifty. This much, in our own behalf,
we close our years work and weekly
visits for 'SS, hoping, for every
patron and friend, happy Christ
mas and a prosperous SO.
