let loo«e. wif.it the result tliai It "busted" the Republican parly in State convention there assembled and gave the State a Democratic Oovernor who Afterward became President Cleveland. The Democratic proxies should be signed, sealed and delivered manacled and weighted with ball and chain when uttered to the other fel¬ lows. It was tlie proxy of a Rockville Centre Democrat predicated upon the village poHimastership that enabled Harry Keith lo enter the I^ynbrook convention some Springs ago -and everybody knows the disasters that followed. It is doubtful if Bert ever allows Ills proxy lo get outside of .N'as¬ sau again withoui a chaperone,
Keogh for Chairman. At the meeting of the Hempsiead Demo¬ cratic Town Committee which meets next week in .Mineola. a chairman and otiier officers of that body will be elected. The organi/atlon candidate is P^dward S, Kpogh, lawyer, of Free- port. The secretary may be Jacob Schroeter. clerk of the Board of Elec¬ tions, and the present secretary of the Democratic County Committee. Mr, Schroeter is a past-master in his familiarity witli the many details of politics, for one tiling, and then again he is always "on tap," being at his d'-sk in .Mineola every week day and
within reach if any deeds of mercy or charity are contemplated by the r»eniocracy upon the Sabbath. The I friends of Committeeman Lyman N. Jones, Jr. also of Freeport, have been 'canvassing the committee witli a view [to running him for chairman against Mr. Keogh. Behind him are arrayed f>itr-tyt>e wrl ters and printing presses :of Felix 'Reifschneidcr and Felix i Duffy, Felix Is a scriptural name meaning happy, more especially the I happiness that precedes, for Instance, a primary, or any event, as for that I matter, which changes the tide of af- ! fairs that have been rhnning in a rut. ' Hence these redoubtable Democralic i twins are now in the swim, and if ithey turn up a.- they now threaten at the reorganization of the Town Com- : mittee, something besides eggs will be I beaten to a frazzle. While one should j incline his ear and listen to ali the political rumors of Na«sau, it does not necessarily follow that he should believe all lie hears. Nay! nay: For I that would produce a condition of the brain by the physiological called addled. Hence the wisdom of actu¬ ally knowing that Bert Gardner's candidate. Mr, Keogh, is beaten be¬ fore believing it. It's a hundred to one shot loday that he won't be beaten.

witneae a good man in deep pain. The' fly In the ointment this tlm« Is the neglect of Aasemblyman McWhinney to furnlBh him with a (complete Hat of his many legislative bills in the busy season Just closed at Albany. That thia migbt be printed and the opportunity afforded of giving the a.s8emblyman "credit" was the heart's desire of the editor. But from the McWhinney studio cajne no aa- Kwering sound to the waiting one. That an editor's desires should be i thus Ignored is startling, possibly i Khaineful. perhaps scandalous. Per- \ haps Mac doesn't want any "credit." I preferring to be judged like all good I men of his works as they are writ on the assembly roll-call for posterity to i ponder. Perhaps Mac dropped the re- | i|uest in the waste basket with other | unconsidered things. EVrhaps the editor forgot the usual courtesy of re¬ mitting a stamped repfy envelope. Perhaps but why speculate longer? The thing that.-impresses us most about the incident is the lack of con¬ sideration wtiich the editor shows us. his readers, over these liltle matters whlcll belong to the office letter flies rather than to the columns of his newspaper. In a word, why does Brother Pearsall visit upon us the story of his pains every time he has a belly ache?
I Patrician Polities. Tlie heart of the Colonel was witli the marchers even if his heels w<'re not, moreover the fainily was well and ably repre¬ sented. 'The Colonel spent the day in reviewing a company of Boy Scouts, wrilting letters and putting finisliing touelies on another Prepar¬ edness jiarade which vvill be visioned by Uie good people of Chicago in due season, it is understood at Oyster Bay tlial another campaign of pre¬ paredness will soon eventuate, so to speak, at Chicago which Ims the sup¬ port of the elder John D, Rockefeller, po,ssit)ly the chief pillar of the Bap- itist Church in the LTnited States, lr. is recalled that this distinguished citizen while not in the forefront of llie two campaigns conducted for .Mr, Hughes for Governor of this 'state some years ago was in line with his friends wlio conducted the Com- imissary Departnient, Meanwlille

It appears by the public prints, by llie way. that Commissary General George W, Perkins, lias engaged eight floors of one hotel for the Progressive delegates. These do not include the floor on which the buffet is located nor the wine cellar, though the same elevator service answers for them all. This game of politics aeenis to have developed into a sport of patriotic Iiatricians. Whai with llie primary election law and the high cost of living il is getting to be too rich for llie blooil of many of us plebeians, anyway.
Uncle Georges Sermons,—The Re¬ ligious Editor of The Nassau Post I desires througli this column to wei- Iconie back to his ministerial duties the Hon, George Wallace of the Soutii Side Observer. It has lieen some is¬ sues since l.fiicle George preached one of his old-time sermons, iiul it is jclear that age cannot wither nor cus- |tom stale his infinite variety. The jSociety Editor Isweet creature), and the Sporting P^ditor (a bully boy with a glass eye), also unite with tlie R, ! E, in felicitations to the Dean of Nas¬ sau Journalism, As for The Radiat- 'or, let it be noted that Christ always seemed more adorable, Christianity _a more iirecious boon to humanity and Religion a jewel more sparkling than the Kohlnoor, after one of his ref resiling sermons. Even the hor¬ rors of Hades are niello-wed by his facile pen and we are led to think of I it as an attractive reeort frequently during one of tlieee modern Long Island winters. Such is the power of the pen in this particular editor's grip. Verily the sermons of Uncle George are worth whiie.
and conveniences for the tranaaatioa of bosinesa such as were never before known in Nassau. Nassau Is indeed growing as the multiplication of tomes in this particular office cleatlj shows.
Grass.—-"Lying In the sunshine among the buttercups and dandelions of May, scarcely higher in intelli¬ gence than the miuiile tenants of that mimic wilderneas. our earliest recol¬ lections are of grass; and when the fitful fever is ended and the foolifih wrangle of the market and forum is closed, graiss heals over the scar which our descent into the bosom of the earth has made, and the carpet of the infant becomes the blanket of the dead. Grass Is the forgive¬ ness of nature-her constant bene¬ diction, F^ields trampled with bat¬ tle, saturated with blood, torn with the ruts of cannon, grow greeui again with grass, and carnage is for- gT7tten. Streets abandoned by traf¬ fic becomes grass-grown, like rural lanes and are obliterated. Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers van¬ ish, but grans ,is immortal. Be¬ leaguered by the sullen hosts of win¬ ter, it withdraws into the impreg- riaijle fortress of its subterran'ean vitality and emerges upon the first solicitation of spring. Sown by the winds, by the wandering btrtls, propagated by the subtle agriculture of the elements whicii are its minis¬ ters and servants, it softens the rude outline of tlie world. It bears no blazonry of bloom to charm the senses with fragrance or splendor. but its homely hue is more enchant¬ ing than the lily or tiie rose. It yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet, should its harvest fail for a sin¬ gle year, famine would depopulate tile world." The late Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kan.sas.
. If things continue as they have in Wasliington, we fear tlial we shall have to agree with our correspondent who signs hinisetf "Tory" and come to the conclusion that our form of government is a failure, -Hempstead Inquirer,
'Twould, indeed, be sad. And yet tliere's no law against any man's moving out if he doesn't like our special brand of government.
Cohoes' First Summer Boarder.— Mr. Jack Mosquito arrived in Cohoes lasl night and made hie stinging presence generally known at day break this morning. Screens are now ill order,—Cohoes Republican,
Jury Commissioner Brown's new oflice will be up-stairs in the new western wing of the Court House, So also will tje the Elections Bureau's oflice: likewise the offlce of the Sher¬ iff: on the ground floor below them will be the q.iarters of County Clerk Cheshire with its fireproof filing cases
County t'ouimission's Findings,— Ttie Commission appointed to survey the Xassau form of government and suggest improvements thereon has practically concluded Its labors. It has submitted to Counsellor John J, Graham its findings to be smoothed and polished "in consonance with law," There will be no politics in the proposed iniprovemenls—no, not a hit: so averse to politics is the hu¬ man nature of Nassau, as tlie Com¬ mission doiilitless has discovered! However, the findings of the Com¬ mission' urjst contain mucli that is valuable for lliey represent careful and intelliseiit research and delibera¬ tion tiy a l)ody of conscientious gen¬ tlemen who have at heart a genuine concern for tlie future of Nassau, Tliey are awaited with much interest by thoughlfiil citizens. But, if a too strongly centralized govern ment is I'ocommeiided, disappointment must follow, for the theory of representa¬ tive government is still tenaciously held in American comnuinities. There may be such a thing as too much rep¬ resentation and too many tuppenny
represenUtives. If. as the Contaaia- sion's practical friends hope, a blend has been suggested, its work will meet general approval. If the revo- ,Jutionary spirit of a Municipal Ke- aeareii Bureas financed by Oil and managed witli a riotous disregar* of eierything except •'Ideals'' has re¬ ceived encouragement, we can give a good guess as to what will happen when the voters of Nassau get bosy.
Next Tax Sale, With the aid of the clerical force placed at his dis- p<?s«r by the Supervisors, County Treasurer Hegeman is rapidly clear¬ ing up the affairs of the last tax sale and getting ready for the tax sal* of 11» l.'^-i;U4. to be held on October 1st, next. Probably the sum of $iOOv#00 fs involved, rery likely even more. The Rochester man (Woolsey), who startled the Treasurer's office by de¬ positing $.")0.000 as a cash credit pre¬ paratory to doing business at the last sale, will he on hand again to make a further investment in Nassau realty.
