THE OFF YEARS are generally damaging to the party in national power that expects too much. It is never well to expect more than a little, and then you are more or less likely to be gratified. The people in these years have way of checking pride, and of so dividing up victories that the outs may have about as much consolation as the ins. Sometimes more. Occasionally considerably more. We had removed our hat prepar- atory to a great cheer, but the cheer relapses into that slight concentration of mouth and facial muscle which answers for a subdued, though not a sickly, smile, However, so much the more work for the Republicans in 1892—and they'll do it. OUR LITTLE TIN TURVEYDROP. TO BELONG of right to good society, according to the McAllister, one must know ‘the good points of horses, of dresses and of dinners. That is to say, he must outdo his hostler, hi rand his cook; and if he cannot in an emergency, or as a matter of choice, don the square cap and the white apron to get up his own dishes, and subsequently the dress-coat to see as head-waiter to their distribution, he is no gentleman and must gnash his teeth in the outer darkness when he is empty in not PRISONER —"'T assure you, your honor, it's a (hic) case of mistaken “Tt looks to me more like a case of wine. only his patrician head but his plebeian stomach, The duties of the true society man as a watcher on the house-top and in the drawing-room in behalf of the little and large proprieties are therefore as large in bulk as they are infinitesimal in detail ; and nobody but he or a woman could attend to them satisfactorily and still live. Think of carrying in one small head the tabulated ingredients of a score of mustarded and custarded delicacies, at the same time that the head is obliged to look out for the necessary small talk, the intricacies of a dozen dances, the management of the band, and the thousand other complicated and mysterious things that only the accomplished society man is obliged to understand! We should think that man would die. Perhaps he does, Having once learned his du- ties, he might die without knowing it, and go on with the duties with- out anybody else knowing it—for he is as thorough a nonentity as he struggles to make himself, and but for his pose would count for nothing in any circle or census report. DAVID AND THE CENSUS. IGH ABOVE the hubbub of the winning and defeated ballots, above the vanishing contentions of election, is still heard the moan of Gov- ernor Hill over the frustrated effort of Grant in demanding a census re- count in New York city. That the police count shows a large increase is beyond question. ‘The inspiration, with or without instruction, was to have it so. When the uniformed enumerators called and reported the swollen autumn population of the hotels as New York residents is it any wonder, with a city that absorbed without strain three quarters of a million visitors in the centennial, that it would show without a ripple in October the larger part of the discovered two hundred thousand now claimed? The query is, was the early sum- mer census, or this one of later re- ision, the correct one? Are the autumnal business visitors that flock to the city to be considered as residents, and recounted as such, having once been tallied in the rural enumeration? Would not this involuntary capita become the innocent repeaters for an intended additional Democratic represent: tion? Are these human swallov's, these birds of passage and their added broods, to be counted in the country once and in the interval of time unjustly counted in the city again? While there is little ground for suspicion that the federal count was flavored with partisanship and clipped by political cutlery, there is little doubt that a more abhorrent motive stirred the new enumerators of Tammany not to overlook the shifting city accessions and also its recent addition of those Canadian exiles who have guided its policy and benefited by its methods. Its leaders, from inherent consciousness, would impute to the cleanest purpose a suspicion of fraud. ear ‘Ten dollars.” Has Governor Hill, who now asks a new count and claims its cost is immaterial, forgotten how he stultifies himself, as the one who five years ago barred by veto the census of the state, ostensibly on the cheap pretext of expense? It was well known then that the real bugaboo that fright- ened him was the fear of a political advantage through the appointment of enumerators by a Republican. secretary of state—a fear that it might evolve a strong and possibly successful gubernatorial competitor! It was not anxiety on account of expense that spurred “ David B.'s" oposition to a census method that had been sanctioned by the precedent approvals of Seymour and Tilden. It was simply the nightmare of a political ghost that he saw, or thought he saw, pulling away the gubernatorial chair. Does this protest, does any protest, come with fair grace from a political blunderer who for himself and against the interest of his party frustrated a new apportionment that would possibly have changed the Democratic future in the state—possibly have given the party of “inertia” a United States senator, the state an enlarged Tammany administration, and possi- bly have extended a similar misfortune to federal affairs? The governor's scare was an unintentional national benefaction. +4 + A recount now, five months after the first, is impracticable because unjust. If conceded to New York the precedent is good for any other city, in fact for the United States, and a series of growls would run with echoing demands for rectification from sea to sea. yeas comicbooks.com
