NOT THE PROPER STUN
FOR KIDS

When we defended this commu-
nifty against the idiotic attacks of a
motley gang of loud~mouthed and
hair-brained kickers we did not in
tend to tread upon the editorial
toes Of our esteemed local contem-
porary. This town had been ma
ligned by job-lot of self appointed
critics whose vain attempts at satire
were reproduced by the Advertiser,
for the purpose, we are Informed,
Of "entertaining the little children
of the town." 1t strikes US that if
the editor of the Advertiser de-
sires to print a children's depart
ment for the edifcation of the
<syounger generation" he should at
least be more judicious in the Sc
lection of the matter for the benefit
of his juvenile readers. It is
hardly possible that the sslittle
children of this town." for whom
our friend is showing such unstinted
affection, can be either amused or
edited by reading a whole column
of ill-considered and badly written
stuff in which their daddies are pic
tured as an aggregation of defense
less nlnnies and long-eared gal
loots.
For divers and sundry reasons
The Gazette man has never been
called upon to perform any fatherly
duties, nevertheless he ventures the
opinion that that kind of stuff will
hardly do for the kid department
of a newspaper.

IL
elect Van Wyck of Greater New
York that he will select his ap-
Pointees among Democrats has the
right ring in it. No Democratic
official should go out of the ranks
of his party to make appointments.
If he is unable to find a worthy man
without going to the enemies to get
him, his political associates are very
bad or he thinks he is immeasurably
better than they. Cleveland thought
the Democratic party a glorious and
noble organization when he was a
candidate, but when he had honors
to bestow he would often go to the
enemy's ranks Van Wyck isn't
built that way.
If the political bosses of both
parties are as black as they are
painted the voters are either very
corrupt or they haven't sense:
enough to govern themselves.
Hanna explains the Republican
losses in Ohio by saying that t'too
much prosperity made the boys

PLANTATION of the political situation
in the Buckeye State the people of
New York must be in pretty good

Goldbug editors are the most op-
timistic folks to be found anywhere.
For instance, there is Editor Chevis
who sees in the presentation to
<'Grover Cleveland, Jr., of a box
of knitted 'booties' worked by the
def hands of Mrs. William Nc
Kinley," good omen for the future
of the American Republic. While
The Gazette has the kindliest feelings
for the Princeton chap, it fails to
see any cause for qualification in
the presentation of the emitted
booties."

QUAKER CITY ECONOMY.

Watchmen and Guides DiaHusted-
Lose Their BRASS Buttons.
There couldn't possibly be in all this
city another crowd of men so Disguised
as were the Waterman, guides and ele-
vator men at the city hall, says the
Philadelphia Record. It was all because
the public buildings commissioners had
been seized with what the men con-
sidered n ridiculous attack of economy.
This is the time of the year when all
uniformed men in the employ of the
city prepare to change their winter
clothing for their summer garments.
Now, the uniforms worn by the city hall
men are profusely adorned with brass
buttons bearing the seal of the city, 81
the municipal authorities are par+icu-
larly careful to see that none of these
buttons shall ever .go astFaY.i It, is. ip
fact, punishable offense for q common
citizen to have in his possession one of
these buttons. Accordingly when each
man appeared for duty, he was called
to the front and an official, armed with
a pair of shears, shipped off all the city's
buttons from the victims uniform ex-
cept one, which was left to hold the coat
across. the chest. Fortunately, the ,sus-
Pender buttons on the trousers are Just
the ordinary; kind without any muni4
cipal insignia. otherwise there would
certainly have been q strike. The crop
of buttons thus gathered IN was sent
to the tailor, who had finished the
summer uniforms, mp to the point Of at
taching those; necessary little articles.

The Tea Situation.

The New York journal of Commerce"
of recent date says:
"Stocks are running low, and cannot
be replenished this year from China or
Japan, as teas available in those coun
tries are not up to standards, and would
be stopped at the customs. In 1895 the
imports into North America were 49,
900 900, in 1897 they are estimated to
be only 97,000,000. The population
meantime hasincreased, and so should the
consumption of tea. From Calcutta and
Colombo the shipments OF India and
Ceylon teas to London are short. while
consumption in Great Britain and ex-
ports thence have increased rapidly.
From June to September 80 the Lon
don imports were 9S1a millions in 1895
and 90 millions in 1897. Home con-
sumption was 721a millions in 1895 and
TN millions in 1897. Exports were 10
millions in 1895 and 1924 millions in
1897. Stocks have consequently fallen.
and prices have risen, the average price
of Cevlon teas sold by auction in London
during the last week Of October this year
being 9.O3 pence, against Sled. Tor same
week oil last year. Importers are making
strenuous efforts to secure low priced
teas from India and Ceylon, but in the

this is hopeless if teas up to the stand

Since the above was published. the
board Of general appraisers has refused

still further increases the shortage, and
there are many shipments on the way
that will also come under the ban OF the
