| Jones. of Broome; for tenant-Governor-well.
he is doubtless willing leave that to the conven-
tron. But why should Hill be for Flower? Wasn't
Flower the man who put his party in hole a few
wears ago by declining to run for Lieutenant
| Governor after the convention which nominated
| him had adjourned? And can 1t be possible that
Jones' after serving two terms In the second place,
will in palpable defiance Of civil Service REFORM
be denied the promotion Of nomination 10 tne
| first place?
| Irish-Americans after investing hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in the political regeneration
of Ireland are now asked to put premium upon
| private degeneracy.
The appointment of Mr. Paul Dana as Park Com
missioner cannot fail to command the hearty ap-
proval of all who take an intelligent interest In
| the city's pleasure grounds. Mr. Dana is man
| of administrative force with an inherited appre-
citation of rural scenery and taste cultivated
by study and travel. His sympathies are not so
| exclusive that he will hold the wishes OF any
class or interest superior to the claims OF the
people as whole, and he is too well trained hlm-
self to despise the counsel of experts in matters
| of technical detail. His presence in the BOARD
will help to allay any apprehension OF reversal
of that conservative policy which has fairly main
tanned against many assaults the integrity Oh our
| parks, protected them from ruinous invasion ana
| developed them along the lines OF their widesb
| usefulness
| The loyal and consistent Republican was able 70
return thanks yesterday, first because his own
party is as good it is, and secondly because the
Democracy is no worse than it always has been.
Another batch of the ballot-box suffers in Jer-
| sew City have been brought to justice, tardliy,
il must be admitted, but better late than never.
Eleven OF the sixty-eight men indicted for the
election frauds in Hudson County in 1889 have
| now been tried and convicted Even the influence
of the corrupt ring in Jersey City is not sufficient
| TO prevent juries from doing their duty in these
cases Jersey justice is beginning to redeem its
ancient and honorable reputation
The ARRANGEMENT between the United States and
Germany whereby the German mails are to be
sorted in transit on board the North German Lloyd
steamers will prove Of practical benefit 10 the
public The sorting Of mails on railway trains
has been done for years and much time In the
handling and distribution of letters Is thereby
saved. The result regards these ocean mails
will be the same: and it would be desirable if
similar arrangement could be made for sorting
the mails carried in British steamships. AS Eng.
lands mails, however, go by train from Queens
town to London, the postal clerks are able to DO
their asserting then, and any arrangement made
by this Government would have to be one-sided.
Mr. Parnell could hardly hope after converting
Mr.. Gladstone to Home Rule to convince him
that private vices are public virtues.
t. is generally admitted that the turkey did
himself proud yesterday. He came upon the
dininq-table gracefully reclining on his platter,
roasted to q turn, fine of flavor, rich IN Juices,
tender as first love, with his interior appropriately
decorated with stuffing, and exhibiting such plump
ness that there was enough OF him and TO spare
for all. In o word, the esteemed Thanksgiving
bird for 1890 was what Wordsworth would have
STYLED perfect turkey nobly planned to warm TO
comfort His part in the great holiday was not
as snowy as football, but it was equally as well
played, and furnished enjoyment to thousands VINO
don't know the difference between a footDai
match and a bull-fght. Hail to the turkey!
When it comes to furnishing the greatest nom
partisan good to the greatest number OF the
American people he has few equals and no
superior.
The question as to whether New-York State or
Roger NJ Sherman is the larger has again been
decided by the courts adversely to Mr.. Sherman.
New-Orlcans was badly hoaxed the other day.
On the strength of dispatch sent by scapegrace
she made elaborate preparations to receive Grover
Cleveland But Mr. Cleveland was north OF
Mason and Dixon's line at the time Another
bad hoax in which this same gentleman VIII
figure will be played upon the Democratic party
in 1892 1t will nominate him for the Presidency
with the expectation of seeing him re-enter the
White House in 1898. The White House will
be there in 1898, but he won't be in it,
The crusade against two stations on the Second
Avenue Elevated Road has had an unlooked-for
sequel Certain prOperty-owners sued the COM
pany for depreciation of their holdings, on ac-
count of the stations in question: and the company
has taken the bull by the horns by deciding to
remove the stations. This will OF necessity IN
commode considerable number of people, since
there will be only single station left between
Ninety second and MISUNDERSTANDING
seventh sts A large share of human nature lso
called is apparent in the companys course
Doubtless it would have been more conservative
were it not that the stations are built OF wood
and SO are unlawful.
An over-scnsitivc Brooklyn family Of the name
of Moses have just successfully besought the
