STREET GLEANINGS.
They Are Brief, But VIII be Found
Very Interesting.

Astatement was recently made that i'm
making his campaign for election as
sheriff of this county Hon. ~. j. Higgins
spent S2.OOO This was wide of the mark.
An intimate friend of Mr.. Higgins gives
assurance that the campaign cost that
gentleman between 81. 500 and $4,000 He
spent 81 600 before he got the nomination
aud his assessment was $500. The inform
ant says the ex.candidate has barrel
full of ball tickets at his house. These
pastcboards swallowed pile of money.
-
Foot ball is all the rage with the boys
and there is hardly an hour in the day
that there is not group playing in some
street or alley. They 20 at it in earnest,
too, and it is surprising that scores of
them are not laid up with broken heads
or limbs The falls they sustain on the
frozen ground seem sufficient TO break
anything, but the foot ball youngster
seems to be built of adamant.
-
1t has been a matter of some surprise
that Shenandoah did not celebrate the
Republican victory in some manner, but
the explanation is a very sensible one, A
celebration was spoken Of but the parties
concluded that the time and money re-
quired for such purpose could be better
employed in the work of organization.
The celebration at Ashland was due, in a
measure, to the residence Of County Chair
man Burd Payne being there.

illogical and peculiar in its provisions, ana as
surov hearing on its face the familiar signs OF
nolitIcal hunger The Governor expresses the
view that the bill proposes to give TOO much

that II aims TO strip the Police commissioners

"prudence"- whether 1t had moral or an in

AG4TY THE GOVERNOR BLUNDERS.


Governor Flower has vetoed four bills which
were intended TO reOrganizc the police depart
mcnts of the cities of Ncw-York. Albany and
Troy and the County Of Richmond. He says
that all Of these bills legislatc out Of office
present commissioners Of police appointed for
q definite term He declares that all the bills
are directed against municipalities in which the
political control is usually held by the party
opposed TO that represented by the majority in
the present Legislature. They are all intended
he adds, to give political advantage to the party
whose representatives passed them. They are
framed, he asserts further, upon no general or
consistent principle Of legislation or Of munich
pal administration. Moreover, he says that
each OF these bills was made a party measure in
the Legislature, and each was passed as Il re-
suit Of party caucusing. He declares that the
Albany Troy and New York bills were opposed
by nearly all the representatives Of those cities,
and that therefore, these measures are plain
violations OF Home Rule In addition he claims
that the proposed changes are not wanted by
the majority of the people in Albany In Troy,
in Richmond County. or in New-York.
Governor Flower insists that these bills are
bad In principle, because, he says. they repre-
sent the misuse OF legislative power To promote
partisan purposes. He objects TO the Lcglsla-
ture taking into its own hands the matter Of
removal and putting out one set Of local
officials and putting another set in office accord
ing 10 what he characterizes as political whims.
AS TO the New-York bill especially the Gov
ernor says that the measure comes TO him
saturated with political rumors and without
single feature to recommend It In the interests
Of better government. He denounces 1t rs

Nearly q year has passed since the collapse
Of the Fords Theatre building in Washington
with the resulting loss Of life, which called
forth bitter denuncation Of the policy of Hol-
manism that was held responsible for the con-
1itlon Of the building. The Government Print
ing Office is now in an unsafe condition, but
although there has been talk of new building
for several years, no actual steps have yet been
taken toward making the working place OF IA
large number of Government employees safe Is
the Holmanism policy to prevail until another
great disaster is recorded? The Senate has
passed bill for the purchase Of site, but
the House Committee on Public buildings
prefers to find site on property already owned
by the Government or on a public reservation.
This plan does not appear practicable, but 1t
serves for delay, at all events The men re
sponsble for II, however, are assuming serious
responsibility.

The Smith heresy case has attracted far less
public attention than the Briggs heresy case
although the resemblance between the two is
not remote The appeal of DIR. Smith is to come
before the General Assembly, now in session at
Saratoga and will be taken up today. The
defendant, DR.. Henry Preserved Smith, was
a professor In the Lane Theological Seminary
when accused of heresy IN denying the iner-
rancy Of the Bible; he was found guilty by the
Presbytery Of Cincinnati, and has now carried
his appeal before the highest tribunal In the
Presbyterian body. That our readers may have
a clear understanding Of the matter, the
charges against DR.. Smith and the text OF his
appeal to the General Assembly are presented
on another page.
