Gsvernsr Grixgs' Errors of Omission.


Governor Griggs is an amusing talke--
There is not a better in the State. His
Salem dog story was about as funny a
one as a campaign orator ever got of,
and, what is better. it was sound in its
meaning and intent. All that John says
about gold and silver is true and useful.
But why is the Governor so r~eticent
about State matters? The State Issues
sn this campaign are second in Importance
enly TO the National ones. Why does the
Governor wholly ignore them?
There is the equal taxation question,
for instance. His Exceliency has no
doub followed the proceedings of the
Stockton Commission with interest n at
tention. AS a logical man he must AVE
reached about the same conclusions that
were stated on behalf of the Commission
last week, that is to say, il he is at
liberty to think for himself on the SUBJ
ject But if he holds the same opinions
az the Commission and intends to urge
them on his party, the coming Legisia.
tive session, all he has to do now is
state his purpose, in order to sweep the
State.
Governor Griggs knows this as well as
anyone. He still maintains an obstinate
silence. He has not a word to say about
State taxation, whether levied upon ths
railroads or anyone else.
Why is this? We believe 1t Is because
the Governor is not in favor of giving
the people any relief-no, we will qualif.
that charge. we will say that he know.
that his party cannot and viii not Civ,
the people any relief under its presen
leadership. and he hopes for too mucl
at the bosses hands to set up any idea
or viii of his own in opposition to theirs
Another thing that Governor Grigg
might we'll talk about is the sinancia
character of his administration. Their
are these Appropriation bills growing
year by year and exceeding in ext-ava
sance anything ever attempted by tn
Democracy. Then the current rumor
about the Deficiency bin which is t
startle the next Legislature and the State
too. Why does not Governor Griggs tai
about fhis? One of he things he prom
ised was economy. Why does lie not ex
plain his years Appropriation Act, whic

million more2 This Is all we ask OF Ii

gether. with the watch, before any tickets
are sold, and no one viii know the lucky
number until It is called from the stage,
pom may claim the watch. While it is
rather a costly advertisement to give
away two gold watches a week, still the
managers feel confident they will be
winner in the end, as the watch an
nouncement will no doubt draw large
crowds to the theatre on both afternoons.

that can be sure Of my aim will tell
you all about them.
The ladies o. the w. G. A. will prob
ably make over two hundred dollars
but Mr.. Baker makes the lions share Of
the proceeds Of Powhatan. This is not
as it should be. The performers give
their work in order to benefit the w. G.
A. The ladies only consent to sell tickets
for the w. c. A. to people who buy
them for the w. @. A. But the W. c.
A. receives half Of the proceeds and
must pay all expenses out Of their half.
In THE way Mr.. Baker secures the best
talent in the city as well as forty or fifty
jealous advertizing agents to work for
him and deceives them into thinking
they are working for a very worthy
charity. Mr.. Baker may be an object of
charity in which case he should go to
home for aged decievers, for What is
he to Hecuba or Hecuba to him?"

The summer girl is now no more,
The butterflies" are gone;
The parties now are held INDOOR,
And not upon the lawn.
The trolley rides have given place
To theatre and dance,
And straw rides, which were in much
grace,
Have felt cool Autumn's glance.
The watering place is now bore.
In tents we cannot dwell;
The country boarders now ignore
The beauty of the DELL
The stranger to foreign cline
Comes gladly back to hcme.
And vows in words akin to rhyme
He ne'er again will roam.
The bathing season, too, is past,
The beach is chill and cold;
And friends they take look last
And dream loves dreams as told.
The boating songs are not now heard,
The sails at last lie low;
There is no sound of yachtsmau's word
Since Autumn's come, you know.
Society regrets, complains,
That Summer joys have fed;
Yet Autumn promises sure gains
Ger Summer pleasures sped;
Then let each one of us desist
From frowning. girls and lads.
A nd take up Autumn and delight
In all her latest fads.
As announced in last weeks issue.
