Now that Tammany has been routed. can
II bc disr,pted9 Is 1t possible to put an
end to that maiodorous organization? The
Crokerites laugh at the bare suggestion.
They declare that Tammany is here for all
time: that it is constructed for storms as
well as for Gains. and that Tuesdays
weather. while little fresh. has left the
old ship still quite scaworthy.
On the other hand the leaders of those
democrats who supported Mr.. Low are of
opinion that if the advantages gained on
Tuesday are followed up. Tammany will
never be able to recover its lost power.
And. so believing. these men are taking
steps to make their own organization per-
maueut aud to contest with Tammany the
right to be recognized as representing the
cty's democracy. Ii is big undertaking,
but not an impossible one. and the country
at large ought to SympathiZe with it.
In one sense ii is national question and
therefore invites national interest. Let US
suppose presidential election turning on
the Vote of New York state, and the vote
of the state turning that Of the city.
Let us suppose Tammany in power, under
Croker Carroll. or a Sullivan leader
ship. and the election machinery in the
hands of the wigwan's choicest spirits.
Wouid the country be likely to accept p re-
suit so declared? WeIIld anybody believe
that the count had been honestly made?
Would not Tammany in such c!rcum-
stances he certain u resort if necessary to
Its studied practices to gain the day?
Just such blot shows and will always
show. on Mr.. Clevelands first commission
as President He won with the aid of New
York. and New York was counted for him
by heggariy little thousand votes. The
Integrity of the count has always been
questioned. The trick was not turned I'M
mediately in New York city, but close by
and within the radius Of Tammany's influ-
ence. Mr. Blaine was helpless. His party
was divided. and there was marked list
leSSiiess in the White House And go the
Butler votes which it was charged were
counted for Mr. Cleveland decided the
whole contest, and against one Of the most
brilliant MEN of his generation.

landmark to guide them. 1t is difficult to
imagine any remedy for such a situation.
London is so planned as to invite trouble
under such circumstances. Its crooked.
narrow streets are in some sections con-
fusing even irf the broad sunlight. Its al
most unnumbered population could not be
readily transported with the most modern
of facilities rhe climate precipitates these
vapors frequently and without warning.
Millions might be spent to straighten and
widen the streets and to equip more trac-
ton lines, and yet the fogs would continue
to come to paralyze industry and to demor-
alize the people. Scientists are trying to
determine just how far hail storms may be
prevented by conclusion. This late pretlic-
ament of the English city offers a sugges-
ton for another line Of research for the
benefit of fog-bound humanity

Exit Tam many Trusts.

From the New York Mail and Express.
In the ruck of the Tammany fight, like
suffers wagons in the rear of retreating
army. are seen the vanishing figures OF
the trusts" those "wayward sons of the
wigwam. Their domination is over.
The ice trust will no longer hold the
docks of the city in it's clutch and charge
the housewives 60 cents hundred for 40
cent ice.
The asphalt trust, released from official
blackmail will lay pavements at the prices
of the Strong administration, or it will no,
lay them at ALL
The garbage trust must make good its
claims against competition in the open and
explain why 1t charges s. for work that
has been done for 81.
The dirt trust loses its hold on the docks
and ceases to be a trust at all.
The street contractors trust has been
thrown, like another "old man of the sea, "
from the backs of business corporations.
The gambling trust with the Tammany
Five" is packing Its trunks.
The vice trust Is disbanding The "ca
diets" occupation Is gone.

Roberts and Butler.

General Butler may become the martyr
idol of the British public, after all. The
course of events has not left him aDso-
lutely stranded, without friends. There are
those in the crowd who feel sorry for him
in his disgrace, and they are inclined to
champion him as the victim of war office
malevolence or perhaps of its cowardice.
One result of this sentiment, among few.
is the growth of bitter feeling against
Lord Roberts, who at least twice since the
reduction of Butler has met with signs Of
disa pproval. The other day while he was
passing through the streets of London, on
the occasion of the return of the Duke Of
Cornwall and York. groans arose from some
parts of the crowd, breaking the continuity
of the cheers which his presence evoked.
Yesterday in Nottingham he distributed
war medals, and when in view of the pub
lie was 'booed' repeatedly, while cheers
rose for Butler. 1t is further reported that
the recipients of the medals, at the lunch
con given later in their honor, repeatedly
broke into cheers for Butler
Here is an unpleasant sign of public
fickleness. Lord Roberts fame seemed too
secure to be affected by any popular
self admirably throughout the war and in
his subsequent public service. He is ac-
credited now with intriguing against Bull
Ter. This charge is not proved. and it is
not plausible Buffers offense was of such
nature that the government needed no
prodding from Roberts to induce it to act
as it did in Buffers degradation The peo-
pie themselves made the demand. But
Roberts is marked as the man who sue
ceeded where Butler failed. In the unreal
soning mind of the crowd he must be Bull
ler's enemy. 1t matters not if Butler
Numbered and Roberts did not, or that Bull
Ter broke silence and Roberts remained
mute. or that Butler advised the surrender
of Ladysmith while Roberts stood through
out the war for constant effort. Nor does
the crowd remember, apparently, that only
few weeks ago it was demanding Bull
lers head because of the things he had
done since his return from Africa. The
man is down and some one is responsible
Boo the leader. therefore, who made no
mistakes, and who must consequently be
prig. -'..

Municipal Probabilities,
rom the Pittsburg Dispatch,

Cleveland's steady movement for the
creation of a court of honor is an example
to cities aiming to produce the highest re-
suits in their central architecture. The
Columbian and Pan-American eXpositions
have shown the nation what can be done
by grouping fine buildings in harmonious
ensemble. But the splendid court of honor
at Chicago and the plaza at Buffalo were
unfortunately ephemeral The splendid re-
suits which could be attained by any city
which went Systematically at work to
adapt the same idea to the grouping of its
municipal buildings and public institutions
about central court or plaza were appar-
ent, but the municipal mind has not until
recently realized them Cleveland is the
first American city to grasp the opportu-
nitY.

A CHEAP BATHROOM.

Tl!ere is no end of farmhouses which
have no facilities for bathing other
than those afforded by tub and a
towel. so much of the work on the
farm is calculated to make the worker
sweaty and dirty that some easy way
of getting good bath is almost as
much of necessity rs a luxury. Now,
here Is a plan which costs but a trifle
and has proved perfect success: Get
q galvanized iron tub made 20 inches
in diameter and foot in depth, giving
it faring sides. cut square so that It
will just fit in a little bathroom three
feet square, which room may be built
in one corner Of the kitchen or wher-
ever it will be most out of the way. In
the top Of this bath chamber place a
pan which will hold pailful of wa
ter, fitted with a rose sprinkler and
faucet. Put a pail of tepid soft water
In the pan, get under it and enjoy as
fine shower bath as can be obtained
anywhere. The whole cost is not over
IS. A pipe to conduct the waste water
from the bathtub should be attached.
This is one Of the best and most prac-
teal suggestions which we have ever
given in these notes.

THE BALKY HORSE.

We are asked what is the best way
to manage balky horse. In the first
place, we never owned but two One
of these we could always cure of his
balky fits by wrapping a piece of plug
tobacco around his bit. When the
weed began to make him feel sick, he
would forget his meanness and get
right down to work all right. The 9TH
er we let a horse jockey have. One
thing is sure-it never does any good
to thrash a horse for being balky. The
wise man will try to find out the cause.
1t may be too big load or a tender
shoulder or simple fright. Unnamable
cruelties are practiced upon balky
horses all over the country when the
law of kindness would accomplish
much better results. Sometimes one
gets hold of a horse with a naturally
sullen and ugly temper. Not much
can be done with this sort, and the
sooner one gets rid of them the better.
