Oh, the rocket is fine

FROM the New York tribune.
Tammany has turned to a familiar old
device in its denunciation of the fusionsts
for raising the issue of the protection Of
the home from immortality. Whenever
anybody attempted to expose Tammany
misgovernment. Tammany would denounce
him for libelling the city. How often have
Tammany platforms rung with glowing
phrases about the honor and good name of
this metropolis which was being slandered
by those who dared to complain that the
streets were not clean or that the police
administration was corrupt? 1t Is the same
old story now

Hitch Your Horse.
From the New York Herald.

From the New 1Ork HefaId
The Herald has frequently called atten-
ton to the danger of incompetent boy driv-
ers on wagons in our crowded streets and
the reckless practice of leaving horses I'M
tied and unattended at stopping places.
The timely need of this warning was
brought forcibly to the public mind yester-
day by the shocking news of two women
killed by a runaway horse attached to a
butchers wagon which had been left un-
tied in the street while the driver went
into house to deliver meat.

From the Seattle Post -Intelligencer
Mr.. Peary asks that a purse of $4,000
be raised to permit him to fit up an expedi-

quest comes at bad time. A few months
ago. when millions were being made daily
out of hot air. he might have picked up the
money in half an hours tour of Wall street
offices. Now he will probably have to come
out west and see the farmers to get it,
