A few thoughts

The fast man is pretty certain to
fall behind.
What three vowels express trou-
BILE? l. 0. U.
1t will probably never be known
what the hand.saw.
Be sure you are right, and then
don't make fuss about it.
There is many man who isn't
worth what it costs him TO live.
Every dog has his day, and too
many of them have their nights also.
The blacksmith may be an expert
forger without being arrested for it.
Nature is a good doctor, but she
makes her patients pay the last cent.
What the corn hears with It's own
ears, the potato saw with its own
eyes.
Few men know what is good for
them until some wise woman has
told them.
The money that woman spends
Is never for the bonnet,
But alwys for the fancy things
The milllner puts on it.
The rich are known by the ir
dollars, but the humble onion is
known by its scent.
The farmer who lost his half
bushel measure was in more than a
peck of trouble.
The foolish trust to the saCety-pIn,
but the wise see to it that the buttons
are well sewed on.
1t is easier to climb down tree
than to climb up, which explains
why the top is never crowded and
why there is always room there.
We are none of us any better than
we ought to be and many of us are
a great deal worse.
The farmer has good many
mouths to feed; he is even obliged
all through the winter to feed the
fodder cutter.
Sometimes when man is pretend
ing to look for a wife he is merely
hunting for good cook. Beware
of such. Farm Journal.

GOVERNMENT BY "NERVES."

The bill which has been introduced at
Albany giving the Mayor authority to
name the acting Mayor whenever he Is
absent from the city or incapacitated to
serve is a bad bill, not because it makes
much difference which member of the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
acts as the Mayors substitute, but be-
cause an utterly unnecessary change in
the government of the city Is made 20
satisfy the whim Of an individual. The
present charter provides that the Presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen shall be
the acting Mayor. Mayor Gaynor dis
likes the President Of the Board Of Al
dermen. Their relations have not been
harmonious since Mr.. Mitchell. while act
ing Mayor last year, busted himself with
the administration of the Police Depart
ment, and a difference of opinion in re-
gard to subways has increased the dis
cord. But if the Mayor is not above
taking his personal grievances TO the
Legislature the Legislature ought to
have too much respect foS its functions
to pay any attention TO them.
The charter of this city ought not TO
be the reflection Of anybody's moods or
temper officials ought not to he ex-
allied or debased according to the state
of the Mayors digestion. What kind Of
4 government would this country have
If the powers Of judges and members of
Congress were to be altered every time
one of them happens to get upon the
nerves Of some Grabbed President? But
this bill for the relief of the Mayors
grievance against John Purroy Mitchell
IS typical of the whole charter which
has been prepared for the city under the
Mayors direction. The Controller has
come into collision with the Mayor. Ac-
cordingly he IS stripped of most Of his
powers. The Mayors influence in the
subway problem has proved disappoint-
ingly small. Accordingly the Board Of
Estimate is TO be deprived of portion
Of its authority over franchises, which
the Mayor under the new charter may
veto. Every pinprick that the Mayor
has been subjected TO since his entrance
into Office leaves its mark upon the fun
damental law of the city.

the pending amendment. No Democrat
construed the platform plank otherwise
until after the election.
Those who voted for Mr.. Dix and Il
Democratic Legislature, therefore, did 50
with full foreknowledge Of the probable
effect Of their action. They knew that
Democratic control at Albany would be
far more likely TO bring about ratifica-
ton than Republican control would. The
Democratic national platforms Of 1904
and 1908 both demanded the submission
OF an income tax amendment. Every
voter who supported Mr.. Dix and Dem
ocratic candidate for Senator or Assem-
blyman either realized that he was con
tributing to ratification or else he voted
uninteligently. Democratic newspapers
have no cause to complain OF h result
which they helped TO make certain when
they labored TO elect the Democratic
ticket last fall Ratification was one OF
the direct and easily foreseen results of
a policy which they deliberately adopted

character OF the compact illustrates the
eccentricity of the method by which the
