 The annual meeting of the Ecclesiasti- cal society, Monday, W. E. Gaylord, Ed ward Norton and Alison Sanford were re-appointed society's committee; Dal- ton Ostrom, collector; Albert Sperry, treasurer. The question of repairing the basement of the church, drainage, etc., was debated. Two propositions were made, one to fit up the lower room as sschurch parlors for ladies' the other to fit it up for the transaction of town bus mess, with vault for town records, etc. 1t does not seem as if satisfactory re- suits could be obtained in either case.
 NO MAILS OUT TUESDAY.
 No mails went out Tuesday, the roads were so badly drifted with snow.

GO HIGHER /!

DR.. Parkhurst has done such good
work in exposing vice and immortality,
and in seeking to reform evils in the
city, that his opinions always deserve
consideration.
The Doctor in n speech before the city
Vigilance League last night blames
those who call on the LeXow Committee
and Mr. Goff TO Ego higher" in their in
vestlgatlons and exposures and contends
that the criticism IL undcscrved. lie
argues that the inquiry Is properly con-
fined to the lower strata of municipal
affairs" because 1t shows "the poor ana
oppressed classes that the virus has
penetrated to the very interior of our
municipal life"
But no classes, neither the rich and
powerful nor the poor and oppressed,
need further proof to assure them that
blackmall Is levied by members Of the
police force; that many officers receive
consideration for shutting their eyes to
violations of the law; that policemen ac-
cept tips" to keep clear OF the side
doors of saloons on Sundays: that mer-
chants who obstruct the sidewalks pay
consideration to the patrolmen on the
beat to take no notice of the violation
of the city ordinances and that peddlers
and push-cart dealers are made to con
tribute their mite to the private purse OF
the force. What they want to know and
what they have n right to know is,
whether the charge long ago made. that
the highest officers of the Department,
the Commissioners, Superintendent and
Inspectors, receive share of the black
mail collected by those below them and
sell promotions and appointments on the
force, can be made good and sustained
by absolute proof?
Go higher Senator Lexow. Go higher,
Mr.. Goff, unless you desire to fail to sat
isfy the people. to leave your excellent
work incomplete and to impair its great
value.

TAMMANY's BEST FOOT FOREMOST.

1t is a subject for congratulation that
public sentiment has forced such an ac-
Acknowledgement as the nomination OF
Mr.. Straus from so stubborn an organi'
zation as Tammany Hall. Public rae rails
and municipal virtue are not hopeless sc
long as the controlling political organi.
cation Of the city can be compelled to
cater to public opinion by Loing outside
OF itself and selecting to mead its ticket
a man of Mr. Strauss standing.
Whether this concession, which Is also
a confession. viii satisfy the popular
demand for vengeance upon Tammany's
sins the returns on election night will
tell.
But whatever may be the result, the
advocates of better and purcr municipal
government will have the satisfaction
of knowing that for the time being at
least they have compelled the bosses to
put their best foot foremost

(From to-day's SUM-

As The Sun has never used partisan
ship to mystify or to deceive any mans
Credulity, we are compelled to state
plainly the facts in regard to Mr.. Ma
than Straus, the candidate put up for
Mayor by Tammany Hall.
Against Mr.. Straus as an aspirant for
general favor there lies the unusual
objection that he has already, as a city
officer, proved himself unfit for public
office; and we cannot advise that the
highest place in the gift of the city
should be conferred upon any man
when the city's affairs would manifestly
be benefited by his retirement from a
lesser public trust which he exercises
now. And this presents precisely and
accurately the status and qualifications
of Mr.. Straus.
We must protest. also. against the
presentation to this community Of a
candidate for an office Of the first i'm
portance and dignity, on the strength
of his ostentatious charities. In itself,
charity coupled with wisdom is worthy
OF all praise; but when 1t Is pushed into
politics as a draft to be honored by
the reward of public office, 1t becomes
offensive. Every official must first pay
honorably for his place by his services
to the public life Of his party. or OF the
community; but no one can pay in
money or in gifts, and leave his candi-
dacy either commendable or defensible.
We regret extremely, therefore, our
obligation of entire simplicity and i'm
perativeness to say that we can see in
the venture OF Offering such a candidate,
on grounds new in New York politics,
no worthy element whatsoever.

Canned Ounces.

Wash the fruit-the orange ounce is

move the cores. weigh the fruit, and
for each three pounds put one quart OF
water into the preserving kettle. N
boiling hot put in as much Of the fruit
as will float; II packed closely the pieces
break easily. Cook slowly until tender,
which usually takes about twenty min
utes. Then remove the ounce care
fully to a large platter las it must not
be piled sufficiently for the weight to
break the fruit and put another layer
of fruit in to cook. When all is done
add sugar to the water in which the
fruit has been boiled, one-half pound for
each pound of fruit. and when dissolved
and the syrup boils, put in sufficient
fruit to fill jar, boil slowly five min
utes, and pour carefully into the can.
Proceed in this manner until the ounce
Is all cooked, then fill the jars with the
boiling syrup and screw on the tops.
