Wilson's Children Sec Him piax.

Those who went to Abbcy's theater,
New York city, ono evening recently,
must have been amused Mt the little chill
dren in the left stage box. They wero tho
heirs to the Francis Wilson estate, and it
was the first time that they had ever been
to tho thcater ut night. 1t was funny to
watch them. Tho eyes of tho elder were
riyetcd upon her father, and with him she
even went through his lines. You could
see her lips moving all tho timo he was
talking or singing. The younger watched
tho effect of Wilson'S humor upon tho au-
dicncc. Every time Wilson said anything
funny this child would turn round and
look eagerly for signs of appreciation. Tho
youngsters were accompanied by their
mother and their grandmother.

business, ordered him out. Very quiet
ly he said:

"MUsT" and shall" are powerful
words, fit for the use OF kings and
monarohs. The utterance of such words
breathe disregard and contempt for
the opinions of others. When one OF
the chief fuglemen of the Democratic
machine in this city stated that the
candidate for the State senate on the
Citizens ticket must and shall be de-
feated" he spoke not only his desires,
not only his contempt for the people,
but he spoke the settled determination
OF the machine" to win the fight at
any hazard, by any scheme of fraud,
treachery and villainy that presents
itself.

FREE BALLOT AND a FAIR COUNT

The letter of Democrat, published
elsewhere in THE TIMES. deserves the
careful consideration of all classes OF
readers. The day has gone by in this
community when any men or class OF
men, whatever their personal or politi-
cal views, can dictate to voters what
ballots they shall cast. AS free
American citizens they have right to
vote as their judgments and consciences
dictate, and to say that men should
wear the collar of any clique, faction or
party, simply because of the name it
bears, Is an insult to their intelligence.
The Citizens ticket represents the
sober, second thought Of the people of this
district. Democracy's name has been
used long enough as cloak to hide
sins which are foreign to its nature and
unknown to it's creed. The ballot has
been perverted to accomplish personal
ends. instead OF carrying out the true
sentiments of the people, and Demo-
Gratis, IS we'll as Republicans. Prohibi-
tionists and Populists, are rising in their
might to secure honest and fair cleo
tions. The Walton law is acknowledged
even by its apologists as being failure
in many respects, and it's unconditional
repeal is now demanded by the liberty
loving people of the State.
All men have q right to their political
views. The attempt to apply the party
lash in this election will be futile.
Democrats have right to insist on good
government, and when the ring that
controls the action OF that party refuses
to allow free expression of opinion, it
is their duty, no less than their privi-
lege, to join with those who are aiming
to secure the sacredness and freedom of
the ballot. Bluff and bulldozing will
not avail. Argument. and reason ere the
only weapons that can be used, and the
further the members of the combine
depart from this path of justice and
common sense the greater will be the
majority for the Citzsns' ticket next
November.

WRESTLING wIra A NEW WORD.

Readers of THE TIMES are generally
very intelligent people, who understand
what they read. But one of them COM
plains that he is utterly st o less to
understand the word GOO Coos" which
has lately broken loose in town. snd he
asks THE TIMES for d. finition OF it,
That man OF superior intelligence
should not understand such q word is
not strange, because it is not word
based upon intelligence or in any sense
appealing to understanding. 1t is from
the lower strata of life and so Is. as it
expresses anything 1t conveys the spleen
OF that element. 1t is from the slums
OF New York, and was picked up and
adopted by the New York Sun, which Is
the journalistic sewer through which
the malign depravity and corruption
from the cutters OF Gotham finds vent
in the vortex of Tammany Hall politics.
That erratic freak of journalism uses
the word with much unctious glee to
designate any person who disapproves
OF the interruptions machine methods
of Tammany Hall, which institution is
nothing more nor less than an organized
band OF freebootors, with few decent
people lured into the ranks to lend
respect ability to ".he crgineIzasnun"
in order that de byes' can do business
under the respectable name OF Damoc.
racy.
AS to the derivation Of the new word
there are various stories. But tho most
authentic and reasonable is that two
Tammany Hall heelers met in front OF a
bowery saloon to talk over "de situa-
shuD." Whel the drunken ono as
signed the soberer man to vote six
times the latter demurred on the ground
OF danger. Thereupon the mellow
statesman Ia said to have exclaimed in
great disgust; 20. say (hic), you've ia a
(hic) Goo-Goo! (Hic) You've is! See?"
Some narrators state that the engaged
leader intended to say good -goody and
others say the anathema would have been
good government" in allusion to the
good government clubs, If the over low
full chief hadn't stumbled with his
tongue.
Nevertheless. the word seems to have
greatly pleased the grotesque anti fat
editor of The Sun and he is using it
freely to help him out OF a mighty
hard place, with Indifferent success
Doubtless othors in similar dilemma
and with nothing else to rely upon will
attempt to initiate him in some sort of
faehion II they agree with him that
honesty in politics is disgusting and
desire for good government is q res
proach.

T has leaked from tho undiscreet
tongue OF a gilded youth who acts as
"supe" to the machine, that tho ques-
ton of putting q dry man on the ma
chine ticket was duly considered and de.
cided inadyisable, the unanimous opin-
ions Icing that dry man could not BIO
elected. This calls to mind the old
story that when man gets "bili n"
drunk he ia willing to swear that he Is
the only sober man in sight.
