PEItTISINO HATES ON , TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1897. Calls Mr, Long a Politician. Tire Port Chester TTimnmr. in taking tho.Sing Sirig Register and the West chester News ^o .task for attacking County.Clerk Crumb ’ s expenses in ■matter bf printing ballots for tjio. last election,' ” -intimafos that what Bro. Long says can be taken with a grain of sitHpicion because, “ lie is a politician. ” Why, Bro. Camp, you will surprise White Plains pooplol Bro. Long a poli tician! It can ’ t bo possible! Are. you really in earnest? Why, Bro. Long de tests a politician.; and yet you style him . such! Why here in White Plains every one knows Bro. Long ’ s influence held tho Board of . Trustees up for some time because certain members' were going to vote to make Supervisor „ Scbirmer a . Water Commissioner.' He didn ’ t want him, because he was a politician. Poli ticians Were unbearable to him — at least, he so. informed^Jfcjie . good people through the columns of bis paper. And civor so many believed him, too, Yet you style him that hated Aamo — a poli- ' ticianl Well, Bro; Camp, (you general ly speak out plain and styiko from the ’ HnouiderV Yon spoke tlie truth this time, too. Mr. Long / is .a • politician, . and about as slick a one as you can find. He is guile clean through. In the shuffle-board of politics he made one mistake last year — wont back on old for new friends. Ho has. seen his error. If he is sharp enough .to coyer his tracks, rebuild his fences, and stop showing his teeth of selfishness (which is a hard thing for him to do unless he is No. 1 in the pie), ho will retrieve himself. We believe he will do it, nevertheless. Bro. Camp, you told a fact known to numer ous friends. But still, Long means all right. He has done favors for many and is now looking for favors for him self. _ ' ' _______ _ 1 ’ . ‘ . Congressman ^Ward, of Port -Cheater, has taken his seat at Washington. Ex- Congressman Fairchild and Eugene B. Travisr his cotopetitbrs in the recent canvass, persist ’ in spending good money to question his right to the po sition. v Mr. . Faityhild haiji engaged Roger M. Sherman, Esq., w the ' well- knowiielection-contest lawyer, • to tempt tO convince Congi'ess that the ballots the people cast, for Mr.. Ward should be counted for Mr. Fairchild, . while on the other hand Win. Pqphain Platt, Esq., of .this village,,h^is been, re tained by Mt. Travis to beguile Con gress'into the belief that he should have Mr. Ward ’ s seat. Mr. Fairchild claims that us the Court of Appeals has de- . •bided that ho was the regular Republi can nominee, the votes cast - for the Re publican candidate, •* Mr.'Wiifd, should he counted for him. Mr. Travis con tends that he should he seated heGause he was the Only regularly ridmihated candidate who received the most votes. , And thus it is that the important time of a Congress iona l Committee must he taken up listening to silly arguments. Mr. Wa¥d was elected, and that should settle it. So'Alderman Weiss* of Mt. Vernon, is spoken of-for Supervisor. Well, the doctor wonia-nialch ' a*\ goad representa^ tive.- As , Chairman of Committee :on Coroners, *we don ’ t think he would hold an inquest on his brother physicians as \Danny ” Lewis did on ms brother printers. It is surprising to notice how poli ticians will at times- overthrow — the principles of their party and run the risk of being driven from power hy an outraged people rather than submit to .the common rule and order of things. As reported by us last week, in the Democratic convention at Greenhurgh a majority of the delegates insisted- on voting for a candidate for highway commissioner, although only the -dia*|, tricts outside the incorporated villages pay for the same, and it is in these sec tions only that the highway commis sioner has jurisdiction. The conse quence is that a candidate personally honest, a bright young man, and all ■that* was named for the place; but ' he was not wanted hy the country dele gates, and as a consequence Josiah ' T. t Smith, a Democrat, of Elmsford, is now running as an independent candidate. While op. the Republican side of the house James Landers, the present com missioner, is being opposed by Henry S, S eele y. ' Messrs. Brown, Kent and Schleich journeyed to the Kehsico M. E. Church last Wednesday evening and gave one of their popular entertainments with mandolins, banjos, guitars and gramo phone. . There was a large crowd pres ent. After the entertainment the artists adjourned to the Rev. Di Clark ’ s residence, , where a dinner we . served. On Thursday the hoys went, to Purchase and , played to a crowded house. Masons Visit Mt. Vernon. On Monday evening, Hiawatha Lodge, No. 434, F. & A. M., of Mt. . Vernon, was thq mecca of many visit ing brethren from Port Chester, Ma- maronebk, New Rochelle, White Plains, Yonkers and other towns of the county, tho occasion being a visit from R. i]W\ Edward M. L. Ehlers, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, and R. W. Abram J: Miller, District Deputy Gr^nd Master of tho Ninth Masonic District. .In.tho Second Sect ion a of the Sublime Degree of Master Mason, the lecture was delivered by Grand Secretary Ehlers, and was jan inspiration to the brethren who had never heard the eloquent Secretary. A ’ trained quartette furnished the music that was interspersed throughout the work. At the closing of the lodge, the assembled brethren, some 3()0Mn num ber, were invited to the Commandery rooms in AscaUon Castle where a ‘ princely lunch Was served hy Hiawatha. ^ There was an unusually large delega tion from White Plains and New Rb chelle. — Port Chester Journal, March 19. , TOWN ELECTIONS. Before another .issue of the A k G us the battle for the town officers to „ be elected will be drawing to a close. The contests will prevail in all the county towns. In some towns there are union tickets, split tickets, independent tick ets as well as party tickets. The Re publicans in'Ossining are not all har mony. neither are the Democrats in the adjoining town of Greenhurgh. In Ossining .the Burns-Fairchild-McAlpin- Rohertson-Husted feud is in full blast. In Greenh urgh, we would not he sur prised .to. see. . theDemoerifttJV.ticket -wiped out of existence because of the party nomination for highway com missioner. 1 Mr. Heady, . the nominee, in a bright young mini, but because he is bright lie is'not Wanted. . • Down in New Rochelle both par ties are working along, on easy lines this year. In Mamaroneck, William Boyd and Editor Peters, of the Register, are battling for Justice. The result in any of the towns will not t >ndjCiTte a party vote. V ' 1 Hero in White Plain ’ s, Jike in all local elections, each candidate is hustling for himself first ami the ticket jS£Xt. For the office of Receiver of Taxes, Jay T. Lockwood, the Republican nominee, is doing a fair amount of work. His oji - ponent, E. ‘ G. Sutherland, is hy - no means asleep. He knows the ins and outs of politics and is employing the arts accordingly. We think the hulk of politicians make a mistake in hooh-hooing the can didacy of young men for office. The clean man in politics is feared by the. sagacious politician. The people will support him every time if they think he 1 ms tho ability and ho bos sense enough to.he arlittlo diplomatic. Nine times out of ten his opponent will be beaten unless he is a man of - exceptionable Worth; . He need riojpbe horn with a silver spoon in his'anouth to find an entrance in the good graces of the people. He will be judged on his merits. We make this side criticism, because the Republican town nominess do not want to make the mistake of believing that tho people will reject their op ponents because they are young men. ; If they would win they must win on other grounds. They must work. ' An Athletic Club Forinod. We understand that the- liberties which have accrued to athletic organ izations under the law has induced ' a number of men in town to ! lease the; upper floor of the Wei^and building in Bronx street for athletic purposes after; manner of the Yonkers Athletic Club, It is the purpose of the promoters to have contests for' the admirers of the art of self-defenSe at stated intervals. If the organizers of the Club, which wq understand is to bo styled ‘ 'The Man hattan, ” will only fix up a first-Chiss gymnasium,, they will he doing ft great public service; Good, healthful sport, with now and then a'little'-boxing to; test'the nettle of the participants, is certainly tb be encouraged. KnoCk-out contests should bp avoided. The moral sense of the people of White Plains would not tolerate them to continue. By all means, hoys, develop your muscles. Put' Dii the ^mitteiJs.

' ; As a mark of appreciation for the mailY favors luxtRimed. a committee from tho Henry Grattan Club of ‘ this village called at St. John ’ s rectory in, Hamilton avenue last Tuesday evening and presented the Rev. Father Kelly with a large and handsomb American flag, which floated proudly to the breeze on Wednesday sfrom the flag staff over St. John's hall. . The-presentation committee consisted r of Messrs. William MalqUey?*^'Calla han, John A. Goodwin and John T. Rehill. Father Kelly was taken completely by surprise and expressed his thanks for the beautiful and appropriate gift in a fitting speech.

E. church, has attended to his pastoral Muties so faithfully and well that the official board of the church has decided to ask the annual confer- enee at Sing Sing next .month to station him atrWTvfrto Plains for .another year. Dr.' McOhesney has certainly not mixed in matters inconsistent with his calling since coining to White Plains. Ho has the esteem of all who know him, and it is to be hoped that the conference will graftt the. request of the* official hoard. White Plains talent was appreciated at the entertainment in the Elmsford Reformed Church last Friday night. The programme announced in last weeks ’ AiiGUS was fully carried but. Our local talent is doing the proper tl>iiig in visiting neighboring churches' to aid and amuse. In the Presbyterian Chapel last Thursday, at the sociable arranged by the official hoard, Miss Lansing recited, Mr. David Cromwell spoke, and Messrs. John and George Hoag favored those I present with a duet. Refreshments ' WOI ’ A HA State Taxes and the Raines' \Law. Why Our State Taxes so High? Westchester County has contributed several hundred thousand dollars to the State under the Raines ’ liquor law, and we were told this law would result in greatly lowering our taxes, We.believe m many Republican principles, hut we don ’ t believe in this Republican method of taxation. There is altogether too much theory put into government when reformers are in power;to say the least. Theories are costl y an d . generally fail- ures. The Raines ’ . - -liquor -\-law>..is - nol what it is cracked up to bo, so far af Westchester County is concerned. It increased license fees, but you can . get just fts much liquor now on Sunday as eve r before, and under the guise of law, too. Sooner or later tho law will he knocked, . sky-high/ .Each locality should retain for .its ,.poor., funds the license monies paid.'/ This , was the practice for one hundred years. It is far better that tho locally deserving poor should have their wants supplied, rather than to maintain a system which cre ates machine power politics and big salaries for a librde* of politicians. Con centration of power in this respect does hot pay — Democratic Ideal rule is better. > , The Good Government Club. The great and absorbing subject of taxation, the honest, economic and efficient adihiriistratibri ‘ of ''government in our to^vns and villages, are burning questions at this time and are demand ing, at the hands of our ■ citizens, earn est and serious consideration. A rare opportunity will be afforded them this evening, when these important matters will bo discussed at a public meeting, to he held in the Auditorium under the auspices of the Good Government Club. : The committee appointed* by* the club fore this purpose has at • length concluded its labors and -assure all who may attend that they will be amply compensated. In order to pre sent the isubject to our citizens in a lucid and intelligent manner, the com mittee has procured the services of two eminent (gentlemen, specialists in this line — Dri I. F. Carson, of Brooklyn, and Mr. Joseph Wood, of Mt. Yernon. Dr. Carson occupies an enviable position in the lectuire held and is^he of thd most forcible and distinguished speakets in the City of Brooklyn; and Mr. Wood heeds no introdntion to ’ the people of tjiis village, having.been an active and energetic worker, not only in . Mt. Vernbn, where he resides, but as an earnest and effective platform speaker in various parts Of our county, being fearless and outspoken upon all matters ? affecting the public welfare. The shh- ject..master apd the. popularity of the speakers will, without doubt, attract a large aWchdaSc;^ - •; ' v — The public is urgently invited to attend and Seats will ho reserved for ladies. .\ J. ‘ ^ \ Our Amusement Makers.

The news and gall of the Evening World managers is beyond comparison. After inducing some 20 boys to go into opposition against local newsdealers, now that the little fellows are .too sharp for them, they want the newsdealers to act as their collecting agents! The Peekskill Democrat . is advising its readers to write Senator Bums and Assemblyman Husted to oppose that portion of the Bronx Valley Sewer bill, which makes the cost of mainte nance a county charge.
