Snuff aboard.

Switchboard is popular enough in Eng
land and Scotland and used to be popular
here but it is doubtful whether it ever
penetrated this country as far as Buffalo
or Pittsburg. 1t obtained here in drink
ing saloons run by Scotchmen, and the
last of the boards are now to be found
in one such place in Brooklyn and very
few in this city. 1t is the same game as
that which is played on shipboard, but in
reality both are forms of the old Scotch
sport of curling. Switchboard as it is
played most commonly is played with
enc pound weights on a long thick board
kept we'll sanded. 1t requires skill to
slide the weights to just the right place,
and it requires more skill for the other
fellow to knock them off after they get
there.-New York Sun.

A Doubtful Victory.

The recent Republican convention
at Morristown presented some very
interesting features, even to Demo
crat OF the First District, whose only
interest in the matter is ike choice
between two diseases.
1t proved that Brownlow was and is
today the most popular man in the
First District. He went into the con-
vention with more votes than any
other man, and would have been
nominated on the first ballot if his
strongest counties had been allowed a
voice in the organization. 1t took
the feld--a bitter, selfish, bigoted
field-two days and 144 ballots to gain
a doubtful victory over one man, who
had nothing but the silent people in
the contesting counties back of him.
1t was hard fought battle and was
declared q draw on the Hath round
with the opposition to Brownlow Ter
ribly punished. But the opposition
is as jubilant over the licking they
gave Brownlow as the boy who boast
ed that he and his father and two
brothers came very near whipping
drunken man.
Brownlow has not lost q friend il
this end of the district, and he ha'
gained a good many In the lower en(
OF it, while the other fellows neve
had enough to last them to the mex
convention.
The difference between the fall o
Brownlow and that of his opposition
is that Brownlow fell on feather be-
and the opposition fell on q pickle
fence. Brownlow is the power behln'
the throne in the First District an
the opposition is thrown without
power. Anderson is not the only ma
who owes his success in the Congress
sional line to Brownlow.

wont be long until he can truthful
boast that he is a self-made nah j

Democratic Police.

The Staff is raising a howl because
the Democratic policemen are paid
out of the city treasury. Where in
thunder DOES the STAFF expect them to
be paid from? True to its Republican
predatory proclivlties, it wants them
to pay their own expenses by accept
ing brides OF saloons, disreputable
houses and by arresting men who are
not doing anything, This would be a
pretty howdy do! If the Republican
ticket is elected and it selects the men
for police it has promised, they will be
thrifty enough to make a living by
running bawdy houses and raiding
chicken roosts.
We had hoped that by sending the
editor of the Stqfto Florida to remove
the necessity of placing him in an asy

hope of his ever having another luciC

If the story told by Joseph Wilson, of

He saw Policeman Won Bergen come out

says Won Bergen was trunk.

Won Bergen saw him he caught hold of

seem satisfactory, he changed 1t to as
