AS THINGS ARE GOING.

AS we write these few lines after TAX
ing our pen in hand it may be mentioned
that the fight for governor has not yet ap-
preached the spectacular. In fact there
seems to be no sanguinary conflict.
There will be no blood spilt-there will
not even be respectable tussle. Those
who are supposedly in it are not in it,
and the business goes along as quiet as
a June Morning, which the poets have
remarked was very rare. THE GLOBE
had hoped to be able to have several
post-mortem and ante-mortem state
ments of the dead and dying statesmen
but it seems to be no use. All are hum
ming along in their own cheerful style
and Tom HOLT is really the only man
who has admitted that he is in the race
and it looks now as though POLK and
some of the many third party fellows are
going to show that he is not in it.
OF course COLONEL Tom thinks he is
and his many friends here and there
will bet on the proposition-but then
democracy has trembled in the presence
of the alliance, the leaders have crawled
on their stomachs before the gang, and
who knows but what there will be an
other crawl this fall q? If there is of
course Mr.. HOLT's candidacy must be-
come only grim pleasantly. We won
der what he will do about it if POLK says
that the alliance cannot endorse a plaid
trust man.
Will the democracy assert itself and
tell POLK and his hungry crowd of fol-
lowers to go to: Will they make brick
or will they say the old democratic ship
is sinking and we had better throw Tom
overheard, and then crawl decently be-
fore COLONEL POLK who is not colonel
and in obsequisus and suave ways say:
"MR. POLK name your man-we are
afraid of you and you can run this
whole business.
1t looks to- day like such foolishness
would be tolerated.
If it is, it is good bye to democracy
for sometime-it is an endorsement of
all the will cat schemes which wreckers
can imagine and mountebanks put be-
fore credulous people.
But if it is, then even it seems that
many self,styled statesmen and leaders
will be satisfied.
THE GLOBE which is independent, and
which does not give continental darn
who is the winner so long as he is a
white man, sits in its elegant sanctum
and says "gs it woman, go it bear" We
know there is some fun ahead and in
these dull times pray tell us why we
should not have some fun?
The music will not be on until after
the two conventions meet and the repub-
lican party comes in with its ticket
Then, however, my dissatisfied fellow
the fur is sure to fly.
Let it fly!

SHE SOON WILL BLOOM.

The sweet girl graduate will soon come
now-she will come ia her ribbons and
her wealth of essay; come like pleasant
dream; come like q night mare with q
name; come like bouquet of roses and
she will have the roses, toe. She will
tell why one should strive to be self
reliant; why one should teach her sisters
to be a hummer and to honor her father
and her mother; tell why the stern reali-
ties Of the world called for those noble
attributes and such other things in which
womanhood is thrice blessed; explain
why we should always help out on wash
then the flowers will fall upon the stage
(by previous arrangement and the fair
girl who does graduate will be voted .
woman of wonderful intellect and wo-
man who is sure to sign the scroll of
peerless ones who write their names in
fame
A few weeks afterwards and you will
see her chewing gum and porting over the
last insipid novel. Those things which
she cautioned you to emulate will be
carefully and quietly laid away in their
forgotten grave; hole will be observed
in her stocking; her fond and ambitious
mother will be arranging her linen and
the girl, once so instructive, will be wait
ing for her fellow to take her out.
And as the panorama passes along
down the aisle of time we will see her
with few kids calling her ma, and hear
her dulcet voice yelling for JOHN or her
JEEMs HENRY and telling him that he is
a horrid old monster and that she wished
she had remained with her ma-aAd so it
will go.
But then no matter.
Life is riddle we die in guessing and
toss to our neighbor and that is all.
The Sweet Girl Graduate has right to
exist-she has a right to read an essay
which was written by another-she has
an undisputed right to do whatever she
wants to do-and as that is what. all
other Sweet Girl Graduates have done,
and will do, why should we make excep-
tions?

Once upon a midnight dreary
While 1 walked with COLONEL LEARY

And then did try toll light nae
Over twenty pair of bars.

COLONEL J. W. DOwD sends us the follow
ing Verse:
On the shores of Bitter Creek where many wild
onions grow,
Where Dock weed hobs to the jimson weed
and the pines their burrs do shed
Where many Tee Matters grow in a row and all
do bloom so red.
Oh, it's there dance in the bright sunlight and
l kick the wildcat dance,
l monkey and roam till the cows come home
and the wild horned steer does prance-
Oh. it's there yearn in the spring to be-and
Iyearn and yearn and yearn,
And wonder, ali, ha, that the wild turkey and
the turkey does not get very tired of this
kind of rot as she is now writ.
And the gentleman who brought in the re-

But he could not write Poetry.

fers? The fact is. of course, that the officials
thought it wise and prudent to exercise the

the necessary orders and warnings accordingly.

PROTEST IND CONFESSION.

There is striking Inconsistency between the
things said and the things done by the Police
Department during the last few days. Prom
inent officials of the Department were busily
engaged on Friday and Saturday in dcnouncing
as unjust and cruel the statements and dcduc-
tons of the Grand Jury. They said that the
prc>cntmcnt made to Recorder Smyth was UNI
warranted and cowardly; that the laws were
enforced with remarkable energy and thor
oughness; that the police force did It's whole
duty constantly and could do no more that
iega, establishments Of vice had been reduced
to a minimum, and that it was practically I'M
possible to diminish the number OF offences
against the Excise law. This was in sub
stance the reply Of the Department to the
declaration of the Grand Jury that awbrcak-
ers are protected by the police and pay for that
protection.
The defence consisting for the most part of
angry buster was quite weak enough as IT
stood, but on Saturday night and sunday the
police proceeded to make it far weaker by en-
forcing a condition Of things which Newly DIRK
has not witnessed before in many years. Prac-
tically all the gambling houses in the city were
shut tight and kept shut, and thousands OF
liquor saloons which commonly do an immense
business on Sunday with scarcely prctcnce Of
secrecy were closed to all corners. No obscry-
ing citizen who went upon the streets could
have failed to note the change. Moreover, it
had been accomplished without the slightest
difficulty or disturbance. No evidence was
dSccrnible that the police were overw0rked.
The city was sober and quiet, and the univer-
sal enjoyment Of beautiful day was greatly
enhanced in consequence.
1t will occur to most intelligent citizens, we
think, that this sudden and conspicuous en-
forcement Of the laws is virtual confession
of past delinquency at least on the part of
the police authorities If the state of affairs
was as good before as they could make it, how
is the immense improvement on Sunday to be
accounted for? If gambling establishments Of
all sorts and degrees had been forced out Of
existence prior to the presentmcnt, or driven
into such obscurity that the law could not find
them, how did it happen that scores of them
were closed on Saturday night for the first
time in years? If every captain roundsman
and patrolman has been steadily doing his

ING this in YOUR able per you will confer great
favor on an old reader of The Tribune
aOld Reader little suspects that nothing could
rive us greater pleasure than TO pour oil on the
troubled water Tor soup which surrounds his
alpbabctc friends But admit that 1t Is
difficult question, and one which must be APP
preached with great caution. 1t is not such
question as What produced the aurora Dorealls
or. Where was Homer born" which can DC
taken in hand and disposed of with
three strokes OF the pen and press
OF the blottcr, but II is rather a question
which we must, as it were, creep up on stcatlily
and examine carefully, with the aid of an opera
glass. il possible. There is much, no doubt which
may DC said on both sides. but, on the whole, it
seems TO us that b has the best Of the argument,
though like n poet or n woman, while his con-
illusions are good his reasoning is bad. That be-
cause soup is food we therefore must necessarily
cat il does not follow; milk is food. but
We drink, rather than eat, it, So in some
parts Of the country, notably IN kentncKy,
whisllcy is food-indccd there it is both food ana
drink, and sometimes, rs Colonel winchester, OF
Lexington, remarked when his friend Major CoH
fell into the river while under the influence OF
il. II Is also lodging; still. whiskcy is never
eaten. The contention Of the adroit that. because
soup is n liquid. it must be drunk; seems
scarcely convincing. No doubt the subtle a can
drink his soup il he desires 10 take his plate mp
in both hands and go ut it in that way. but we
fancy that this is not his usual practice lie
could, too adjust the small end of a tin funnel II
his mouth. throw back his head and direct the
waiter TO pour the soup into the large end OF the
funnel but this plan seems rather adapted for the
twenty minute railroad lunch counter than for
the private dinner party or the Demonicoian ban
quot. We suspect that the cautious and distrust-
fn 4 has arrived AT his view from the belief that
he cannot eat thing which he does not bring
his teeth 10 bear; but if is Of discriminating,
malicious cast Of mind, hc does not chew his raw
oysters still, he eats them indeed, we can scarcely
conceive Of any way in which he could drink
oysters.
On the whole, therefore. il seems necessary
to decide that \. in common with and the
rest Of the alphabet when he secures his soup in
the ordinary way with spoon, Is eating IT, And
we DESIRE in closing, TO thank "Old Reader"
warmly for his kindness in bringing this important
question 10 our notice.
