TAMHANY AND THE BRIDGE.
Many VINO Can swear nat the structure
Has ueen Painted.

II the testimony OF Brooklyn pedestrians
counts for anything the efforts OF the Tam
many campaigners to make the people
forget about the way the Brooklyn Bridge
has been neglected by Tammany won't
count for much. About two weeks ago
somebody ordered that the Bridge should
have a coat of paint. The painters spread
Il on thick so as 20 make the Bridge look
really handsome for tho first time since
Tammany got hold of it our years ago.
Meanwhile huge signs were put on bill
boards neal the Bridge approaches asking
voters TO vote for Edward NJ. Shepard
and "rebuke the INSCRIPTIONS attempt
TO malign the Bridge and make people
afraid OF IL.
People who walked or rode over the
Bridge laughed at tho billboard argu-
ments. Those who walked now have a
grievance and many OF them have smooched
coats or skirts to remind them of the fact
that they have III VI against the Ialnt
which for two or three days has been
plastered on the steelwork along the prom
enade. In the rush hours many people
who saw the ridiculously mail PAINT
signs along the promenade have actually
been forced up against the fresh paint.
although they knew il was there. There
were many others who didn't even know
the paint was there until they got home
and found their garments damaged. Then
they were likely To ask why the Bridge
should have beer painted just before cleo
anyway.

LOW Nv KINGS Ri $3.50.
A Very Conservative Estimate by Districts
BASED on the Vote for -Four Years.

Chairman Jacob Bremen OF the Kings
county fusion Executive Committee, who
has been in close touch with every develop
meut Of the campaign In Brooklyn, thus
summed up the situation last night;
Everything points 10 a decisive victory
for the fusion forces In this county. NY
opinion is that Lows plurality will be in
ex cess Of 1900, and I shall not be sur
prised IL it appro aches Schieren's plurality
in 1893" Chairman Frank Harvey Fish
Of the Citizens Union Campaign Com
m ittee said; "Mr. Lows majority In the
county will be 10000"
Ex-senator Coffey and all the o,..er lead
ing members OF the Brooklyn Democracy
are looking for such a landslide on Tuesday
other moguls OF the auction room Will be
put out Of business and a general cry 80
up for another reorganization OF the Demo-
cratic forces in Kings county.
Democratic estimates have varied 40 much
from day Ia day that no reliance can be
placed on them. Chairman John j.. Shea
started of claiming 1900 for Shepard,
1900. Yesterday MIR. Shevlin said he looked
for a plurality OF about 1000 for Shepard.
In the table below n very conservative
estimate of the probable pluralities In each
Assembly district Is presented. IL IL based
on u careful analysis Of the vote In each
election district for the past four years
and a comparison of the registration in them
for each year. In every instance in which
a doubt existed the Democrats received
the advantage. and all through the calcu-
lation no undue weight was given to the
plain, overwhelming sentiment In Brooklyn
against Tammany and its iniquities. hi

THE SHREWD AMBER.

The ameer of Afghanstan was one of the shrewdest and strongest men of his time When the amount of the British subsidy was being fixed with him it was explained that he must do this and that and the other. s'You remind me-" said the ameer, s'of Per sian tale. A certain man took a piece of cloth to a tailor and said: Make me a morning dress out of it and an evening dress-and while I think of it, q working coat The tailor did his best and brought them all as he was told. But they were of dolls size. What more could he do with the cloth? The ameer was not great admirer of the British system of gov ernment On one occasion q very high parsonage was conferring with him and said, in relation to some mat ter: s'That is a very grave question and I must refer it to her majesty's government" The ameer, who did not clearly distinguish the parts of the British constitution, replied: "When you ask me a question I am able to an swer it at once; when I ask you one you say you must first ask TOO other gentlemen. I prefer our Afghan way of doing business.''
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-11-01

able from their salaries is, in the great majority of cases, impossible. Mod crate proyisiel of food, clothing and shelter uses up most of the income, and social and professional, demands take the rest. To save enough, even in the course of a long life, to afford at the present rates of interest, an in come equal to that enjoyed during ones active years, is practically out of the question. Yet to look forward to spending ones last days on plane of comfort distinctly lower than that which one has enjoyed through most of his previous life, is a prospect that few men can face with equanimity.
 If anyone will show how men and women who are wage-earners can save enough by the time they are, say, six ty years old, to maintain them in their accustomed comfort and satisfaction for the rest of their days, he will be welcomed as one of the greatest bene- factors of his time.-New York Even ing Post.

Speaking of the work of labor or ganizations the International Monthly says that the trade-union recognizes the strike as a legitimate weapon oi offence and defence. It is grossly un- fair to style the trade-union, as some ungracious critics are in the habit of doing, striking machine" It has countless other functions besides that of precipitating industrial war. In fact, the strike plays but subordinate part in the history of the great craft organizations of America, and repre- sents but a small part of their expen- diture of funds and energy. But the power to strike is of great importance i'll the consideration of the status of these organizations, upon the same principle that the fighting power of people, even though it be rarely re- sorted to, is largely instrumental in determining it's status in the family of nations.
