Under the above heading, an editorial in Tuesday’s Tribune is given that so bristles all over with the ear marks and irresistible humor of our friend Ike Bromley, that we gladly copy it en- tire knowing it will prove arich en- tertainment to Republican, Democratic and Mugwump readers alike, He writes that “rejoicings with from seven to twelve courses ~of edible solids irri- gated by vintages of various climes and ages, fumigated with all brands from the rank hemlock “twofer” to the imperial regalia, and topped off with remarks of a highly hilarious haracter~ chiefly by Mugwumps, are now in progress in all large towns where there’s a first-class postofi‘ice. They had one the other night at Hart- ford. Conn.. under the auspices of the State Democratic Club, presided over by that gay and festive entertainer, Professor Simeon E. Baldwin, of New Haven. The Professor was in his most mirthful mood. In introducing Governor-elect' Morris he said it had been so long since they had had a ‘ Democratic Governor that people were beginning to think the race, like the do- ’ do of New Zealand, was extinct, but he was proud to say that they had with them a representative of the race who would prove the contrary. Thereupon there was tumultuous applause for the dodo and the Professor and the Governor- ' .elect. in his capacity of rediscovered zdodo, made some very earnest and ~feeling remarks concerning the duty of Democrats under the commg dodo reg1me in the course of which he said ‘that for one thing there should be ‘no monkeying with the laws.” By this we understand that the Democratic policy which has prevented ‘monkey— , sing with the laws” for the last two years by a legislative deadlock is to be continued. The “resistance piece” of the even- ing’s festivities was Dr. William Eve- rett, of the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts. who is described as “an elo- quent speaker with a stirring style of delivery." By which description he will be at once reunrnized as the gen- tleman who teaches school in Quincy :and runs for Congress and similar places during vacations. He certalnly has a “stirrlng delivery” and a good deal of it. On this occasion his mouth was in such good running order that we cannot undertake to quote half the stirring things he said, but one of them runs thus: an "an The great cause for rejoicing is that the people have placed the wisest man in the country 1n the right place. Dur- ing M1. Cleveland’s first administra- tion he was hindered from doing much that he wished to do. Now I believe Mr. Cleveland will be all himself. And woel woe. V I say to the small politician that gets in his way. This sentiment was warmly applaud- ed At that stage of the entertain- ment the belief was universal that in the matter of wisdom Mr. Cleveland could easilv give the serpent odds—yes, hold over a whole barrel full of boa constrictors. And as for the “Woe! woe!” it was _ pronounced only on “small politicians” and there was not 'a man at the table who considered himself a “small politician.” 1t was a very decided bit. If it ever reaches .Mr. Cleveland it ought to be good for at least the Quincy Postofiice. Dr. Everett closed by lemarking with his usual good taste that he noticed there . was no clehgyman present and the ex- ercises had not been opened with pray- er. Professor Baldwin 1mmediatly sup- plied the ommission by reading a letter from a clergyman which he happened to have handy, but whose name for manifest reasons be withheld. Then came Mr. E. Cornelius Bene- dict, of the steam yacht Oneida, Elec- tor-at-Large. Mr. Benedict is the Broad-st. banker who drew his check to defray‘the expenses incurred by the Democratic State Committee in steady- ing the Constitution. He has been “at . large” as a statesman for just about a year and seems to enjoy it though it “comes high.” His speech was “high- ly entertaining and full of wit.” It could hardly be otherwise. He was followed by Roger Foster of this town. For arresting frivolity and turning the [attention of thoughtless persons to high themes they would rather not think about, Roger is probably the daisy-est » post-prandial orator that ever from a smile or stopped a bottle. Roger be- lieves in Cleveland. He seized the oc- casion to express his whole mind on the candidacy of Mr. Murphy for United States Senator and the general “cus- sedness” of Tammany Hall, and the po- .litical “machine” in N. Y. city. Roger was in fine form—left hind leg flexible and jerky, waving round the table in a most bewildering way. He said with great boldness that if the machine pol- iticians of New York stepped outside athe State bounds to interfere with Mr. Cleveland he would not submit, and he intimated that when it came to that it would go hard with the machine. The report says that “faint applause” fol- _. lowed Roger’s impassionate remarks, ‘, though why it should be “faint” we ~ cannot understand. .He. certainly was as “stirring” as Dr. Everett. 1 Ex-Judge Lynde Harrison followed Roger. Being the latest convert to Democracy, be rekindled the enthusi- asm which Roger had cooled. The Judge t00k issue with Roger on the Tammany question, and spoke with great earnestness in favor of “organi- zation witha machine.” It has been generally understood that the Judge took that view when he was a Republi- can ; that he believed eachfparty ought to have a machine. and rather than have either one fall into “innocuous desuetude” he was willing to run both. It is said that he has sometimes done so, and though the results have been a little confusing to the average citizen, they have been entirely satisfactory to the great corporations represented by the Judge. ’ Afterward the band played. These festivities are very pleasant to see and read about. Our Democratic friends are not only having fun themselves but are making lots of fun for other people. A Granite Monument. It is the current fashion now-a-days to deride most that our public officials do. Our present board of Borough officers have been no exception to the rule. But after all that can he said of their sins of omission and commission, they have nevertheless left endurable granite monuments to perpetuate their memories and their glorious achieve- ments. What previous board ever has given themselves the immortality of paving Main street in enduring gran- ite? And last, but by no means least so far as the public convenience is con- cerned, the solid granite cross-walk lining from Belden avenue to the N or- walk Club House, will ever continue a granite monument to the enterprise, public spirit and fame of the Borough board of 1892. t ‘0 United States Court. The trial of George S. Grumman and James Brundage before the United States Court for passing counterfeit niekels for the purpose of beatinga nickel-in- the- slotphonograph. in Grum- man’s saloon, was finished yesterday. The first case taken up was that of Grumman, and there were seven counts in the charge against him. He was found guilty on one, that of keep- ing metal discs resembling five- cent nickels in his possession and was fined $550 and costs, amounting to $201. 92. Brundage was also found guilty and fined 325' and costs amounting to $101. 42. Mrs. Ellen Nagle was summoned be- fore the same court on the charge of evading the internal revenue law, plead guilty 3and was fined $10 and costs. ' Martin Scollard, of Stamford, plead guilty to violating the liquor laws and was fined $550 and costs. William Alexander of South Norwalk charged with embezzling ordinary let- ters and two containing 340, pleaded guilty and was fined $50 and costs. A Handsome Testimonial. For some time past the King’s Daugh- ters connected with the Methodist church have been quietly at work plan- ning a surprise for the wife of Pastor VanAlstyne. It culminated Wednesday. Early 1n the evening over fifty of the lady members of the church, assem- bled and quietly proceeded to the par- sonage, and one of the party rang the door bell, and inquired for Mrs. Van- Alstyne. The look of surprise when she came to the door and saw the crowd assembled on the piazza. and walk, was tiuly genuine. But in her usual happy way she welcomed them all. and they took possession of the house. Later they made known the er C- S S S her with a diamond breastpin, and a basket of flowels as a slight testimon- ial of the love and esteem: in which she is held by the ladies of the church. very feelingly thanked them, and tears of gratitude and love glistened in her eyes as she spoke. The ladies had also ance of refreshments and a table was spread, that proved to be not the least of the enjoyments of the evening. There we1e no gentlemen present. Mrs. VanAlstyneis greatly beloved by all who enjoy her acquaintance, is a hard worker in church affairs, and her removal 11 om the town to a new field will be felt by all.
