SEEING NEW YORK BY NIGHT.
Tough who wouldn't Travel with
a Newspaper Man.

NJ Quad in Detroit Free Press.
Having in mind a night trip among the
toughest resorts on the east side, 1 en-
tered a saloon on Stanton street to see if

lar with all the Joints" and who would
chaperone me for pay There were three
or four men in the place who seemed to
be of the sort wanted, and inviting the
toughest of the gang to sit down to a glass
of beer with me, l explained what was
wanted.
II understand he replied, but dun
no. Are you a fighter?"
No. don't anticipate any trouble, how
''Then We are a bloomin' innocent! It's

Yes"
And We hev a little book and pencil, and
yen put down things as we come to 'em?"
Yes"
THAT will start the row. About the first
man we'll meet as we knock around will
be Fatty Jim. He's cross-eyed red-head-
ed, and has a broken nose and a mouth
on him like the door of a dime museum.

LEGISLATORS OF BRITAIN.
Tories Are Mostly Young and Lib
ernIs Mostly Old.

London Gable in New York Times
Whenever the tories have a large ma
jority in parliament the. spectator at West
minister is always amazed at the number
of very young men who enjoy seats in
the House of Commons. It is doubtful
whether in all the legislatures of the va
rious United States there, could be found
so many beardless and wholly boyish
faces as one might have seen the
other day in the members lobby Of the
House Certainly the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington offers no sort Of
parallel to the juveniIity on show this
season at ST. Stephens. Often the scene
looks more like some phase of a college
commencement than the gathering of the
oldest parliament in the world / have
said that this was popularity of large
tory majorities When the liberals are in
office and in heavy numerical preponder-
ance on the commons benches middle
aged and elderly men are the rule.
1t is only rarely that a youngster gets
in as a liberal at an English election
Plenty of young men go TO the polls as
liberal candidates, but ahey have almost
invariably received the domination simply
because success is hopeless. They are en-
couraged to spend their money and time
on these fruitless battles, on the tacit un-
dertanding that by and by the party whips
will recognize their devotion and give them
a chance to fight constituencies where
there is some prospect of winning. Mean
while the SAFE nDeral seats are practically
all in possession of the gray boards and
in the large list of burroughs and county
divisions where parties are tolerably even
ly balanced, very few liberal candidates
under 40 years Of age can get a nomina-
ton.
The most obvious reason for this is of
course, that liberal candidates have 10
rely upon a demonstration of personal fit
ness, of individual acquaintance with gov
ernmental problems, and the thousand
and one possibilities Of reform, retirement
ment and so on, which is not insisted upon
with others. The sober and thrifty mid
die classes-the higher artisans. the small
shopkeepers, manufacturers and CONNER
cia1 and Industrial workers-are the people
who elect liberals when they are elected
And these people are not easily captured
by the glamour Of young mans smart
manner and glibness OF tongue They
want gravity and solidity and the evil
dences of mature experience and itIde-
ment. They desire to vote for a man who
has made money In hts own business or
an established position for himself Ia his
profession. Here and there an exception
ally brilliant youngster, particularly II he
is a journalist or barrister who Isl doing
well for his years. and Is favorite wjfh
party leaders, like Mr.. Gladstone or Mr.,
Morley may be taken on trust bv a lib

A CREOLE NEWSPAPER WOMAN.
How One New Orleans Girl of French
Descent Got Into Newspaper Work

FROM eIne New YORK sun.
A creole girl in journalism is a rare bird
In fact, creole girl in anything but a
convent, her home, or society, is about as
infrequent, at least in Louisiana, as snow
storms are. They have had one big snow
storm in New Orleans and they have
one newspaper woman who is a creole
The snow storm has been more largely ad-
vertised, but the newspaper woman is iust
as much of phenomenon. Her name is
Marie Louise Points, and she is so thor
oughly creole that she speaks of the IN
fortunate people who don't happen to be
OF the same descent as you Americans -
VI course, we are all Americans" she
is expressive.
OF course, Miss Points lives on the other
side OF Canal street; that is, the Other
side, speaking from the American point
of view. Miss Points would say that the
Americans lived on the other side. Ar
any rate, she lives on the French side
of the dividing line, as all good creoIes
do. What is even more than that Miss
Points had never crossed Canal street.
except 70 go 70 the Jesuits' church, half
a block from the corner until she was *
years old. She had no idea what kind Of
a world lay beyond that imaginary bar
She wondered what kind of people dwell
there. what sort of house they lived in
what they wore, and how they talked.

that they ought to take us to see the az

DOGS.

Clay Sharkey. of Kinds county. has
introduced hill into the Legislature
to tax dogs, We hope that it will not
only pass, but that it will be amended
so as to prevent all dogs from running
at large. There is no more intolerable
obstruction or dangerous nuisance. prey
ing upon our people than the great
horde of dogs providing our fields and
premises. They hunt industriously all
spring for bird and rabbit nests in our
fields and destroy thousands upon
thousands, suck poultry eggs. kill sheep
and endanger human life. They con-
sumo enough food to raise half enough
meat TO supply our entire population,
and are of no possible benefit. Game
could be shared, trapped, or stalked and
killed with gun. If any man wants
to indulge in the luxury of dog, lei
him pay tax on him and be forced to
coufne him as other animals. II the
pestifcrous practice Of running at large
is accomplished we would omit the
tax, as the expense OF keeping dog:
when transferred from ones neighbo
entirely upon the owner would virtual

BILE. This may seem q small subject
but it is a far reaching one. The dog
must.go sooner or later, and we hope

COUNTY PRINTING.


! We want TO call the attention OF tn

lature, to the present law on lettin'

the Board to pay legal rates for all ~
printing, and have the power TO d's

ment. We are Influenced to this posi-
ton in the first place, because the coan
ty IS amply able to pay legltima''
nr;ce for all its work. and should do sc
inst as an individual does--it Is no pau

The .lowest bidder" business has
tendency TO pauperize callings. aud en-
gender inefficient service. For instance
a fierce competition for bridge con
tract, may force some interruptions
needy fellow to bid too cheap. and then
rive inferior material or workmanship
In the printing business, il tends to be
get log-rolling and venality, and u
bring the pay down to starvation prices
Instead of letting to lowest bidder
in towns where there are two or more
papers, the Board should be empower
ed to disburse it equally at legal prices.
This would certainly be an equitable
and honora BILE procedure and 1t should
he to the interest Of all government to
promote the highest standard OF public
morals. This eau be in part accom-
plished by fair remuneration for It's
service and fair distribution OF its
favors. There is no more reason that
the county printing or contracts should
be let to the lowest bidder. than that
it's offices should be let in similar
manner. 1t is poor enough and mig
gardly enough to cut in one direction,
but il cut in all, and save the dispro-
portionate emoluments OF its officials

POLL TAX.

Miller r Jones, of Claiborne county,
an old schoolmate OF ours and 9 great
fiddler then. has introduced u bill in

WANT RACING HORSES ONLY.
Stables Being Built at the Ideal Park for
Racers and Not Loafers.

The fact that but 500 stables are be-
ing erected at the Ideal Racing Asso-
cations new course at Ideal Park,
Wisconsin, has caused owners through
out the west to make hurried applica-
lions for stalls. Orders to hold stable
room for from one to twenty horses
from fifty different horsemen have been
received by Secretary Creyeling during
the past few days. When asked yes
terday why the association would not
erect more than 500 stables, he said.
At the Indiana tracks there was
room for fully 1880 horses and at no
time was there less than 1000 at the
three tracks, one-third of which were
there for racing purposes and the other
two thirds for the benefit of their
health, as it were. The 500 stables
are for the accommodation of horse
owners who have horses to race, and
race only. Owners with large strings
of horses who have but few ready can
bring those only and will be compelled

BESIDE the fact that it has been GUS
tomary to continue certain of the
county officials in Office for more than
one term, there is good reason why the
county convention should renominate
Messrs. Reynolds, Robbins, Slosson,
Buckmaster, Hansen and Maloney to
the respective places of assembly
man, county clerk, clerk of the
court, district attorney, treasurer and
superintendent of schools. They have
all conducted their affairs in business
like manner and all of them have
proved themselves true servants of the
people. This paper is not in the habit
of having candidates before the con-
vention, but at this time we do not
hesitate to declare that the convention
will make no mistake in renominating
the old guard. They are entitled to
the honor and will in all probability
receive it.
