WHAT is WORTH WHILE?
What is worth while?
Asked lady, with smile,
OF young man with sober mind,
But nos with thought oppressed,
For he was not refined.
He asked her then,
Did poets, bards, and sages
In good old oiden times
When they, in search of knowledge,
Such questions have in mind;
And do young men of to day
With smile and happy song,
Who never pick life's pathway
Ere give thought to such thing?
Or do they all go wrong? ..:.-
And do mothers who, with babies
Just nursing at heir breasts,
Think it worth while to teach them
Their proper course through life?
Do fathers with experience
OF many things ia life.
Give warning to their boys
That keeps them out of strife?
And young girls, when they marry
Not for worth, but for style,
After years begin to worry
And ask ssWas it worth while?
People of all nations
Born in every cline: ........
Don't stop to ask such questions
Or think 'tWas it worth while.
Then L, who. young and inexperienced
Nor in natures school been drilled
Do not these things give hindrance,
But wish ny brain was filled
With that important question:
For, in truth, then could smile
And say unto all nations
The thing that was worth while"

THE LOCAL ISSUE.

The Ruler from Vantage who will make up
the Tammany ticket this year as he has done
IN previous years has not applied his massive
thoughts unreservedly TO local politics in the
last few days. He has spent large part OF
his time at the races in close c0mpanionship
with the hackers of poolrooms This is no cam
paign SANDER 1t is plain, blunt truth. and
every syllable of it can be proved beyond dis
pute. Under the laws OF this State they now
stand the keeping of a pOorOom is a worse
offence than the running of a faro bank,
roulette wheel. a keno game or a gambling
house of any sort in which there is no betting
on horses The statutes of the Empire State
provide in this day and generation that the
maintenance of poolroom is a felony, while the
carrying on of a gambling house Of any other
kind is only misdemeanOr. A man is known
by the company lie keeps Among Mr. Croker's
intimate associates since he ran over from Eng
land TO inspect the present workings of the
Tammany machine and to oil the bearings have
been professional gamblers persons inter
ested in poolrooms in way or another. The
inference is easy.
Is il possible that the voters of New York will
consent in November TO hand over the munici-
pad government for another term TO n man who
holds no office who is subject to no RESPONSE
bility. who spends most of his time in England,
whose only interest in this metropolis is the
filling Of his own pockets! Mr.. Croker has
admitted on the witness stand that his chief
object in public affairs is to enrich himself
Even If he selects for the top of the Tammany
ticket some fairly respectable figurehead, a vic
tory for the FOurteenth-st. organization will be
In effect a triumph of evil. Another term for
Mr.. Croker, the real Mayor of New-York. will
be another term OF corruption and OF crime. 1t
will he a poolroom administration, a red light
government a new lease Of power for the worst
elements in NewYO life.
With a Croker Mayor and Croker District
Attorney. after the first day of January next
year Manhattan would be so smirched that her
decent citizens would be compelled to lower
their eyes and shrink from the gaze of the
world. Cannot get rid of a racetrack boss
a poolroom boss, red light boss? This is no
time for soft words. Within a few weeks the
fate of this city is to be settled the polls and
all of will know whether the forces of evil
or the men of honesty, of clean hands and clean
minds are TO have the upper hand. Why hide
the truth or shrink from the direct issue? Every
intelligent New Yorker in every borough should
have the question set nakedly before him. This
is a deadly ight-wrong one side right on
the other. Tammany misrule in local affairs is
harmful from top to bottom, from side to side
and through and through. A vote for Tam
many will be a vote for sin. A vote against
Tammany will be vote for better things in
this big town.
