Hon. A, V. Gage, of Catskill, has been appoint;! agent and Warden of Sing Sing Prison by Superintendent of I'risons Lath r op. Mr. Gage is a very coinpe'ant mau, having served two term* as memlier of Assembly f.oiu Grreuo Couuty, was oounty eleik for tluee years, ~ud is presideul of tlie Catskill National Bank, and is largely engaged in the lumber business, but thut dos'ut count, in just about two mouths Mr. Gage will oe sent to his home in Catskill to make room for souie Of the ItEFOIiMBIIS A number of ministers of different denomination* in Nyaok have formed a plan to make a thorough canvass of Shoe Town, and, if possible, ascertain how luauv persous fail to attend oburch. The plan may wo k all right, but if the differeut minisiers would take a canvass of the number of ''dead beats\ aud persons who fail or refuse to pay their honest debts, who are considered churchgoers, aud alter making the can- vass of the non-ohurohgoers, fiud out lion many of them fail to settle with the butcher aud grocer.

Refreshments will be served by the committee in ohaigp, aud a geueral good time is assured. The giviug of this reoeptiou is an honor which the Nyaok firemen well deserve. It is earnestly hoped that everj member of the departmeut who \u25a0 possibly can will be present to enjoy ' the freedom of the rooms, the addresses and the refreshments. The occasion promises to be one of uuusual interest. ONE WAY TO SERVE THE PEOPLE According to an Associated f.ress dis- patch from attorney Gen- eral Qlney may shortly resign. Re claiuitj he accepted the ofgee ponditjonajly, with the understanding thut he woifh) resign if he found the work too heavy, and if his law praotioe demanded his atteution, Why not resign, then, at once? No- body ia urging Mr. Qluey to hold ou, and hosts of demoorats think that it would have beeu a blessing if he had resigned within forty- eight hours after he was sworn iu as attorney general This would he oue way of serving the people, and it would eari< their grati- tude. But why should Oluey be the only oue to step down and out? With the overwhelming verdiot of the oounty agaiust them; having been weighed )u the balauce aud fouud want- ing; after being repudiated by demoorats almost everywhere, would it not be the proper thing for tne president aud his entire oabiuet to resign? The country has eaid in very emphatic tones that it would like to have them get out of the way. Mr. Oluey is disposed to obey the popular will and re: ire to private life; dis associates, from the president down, would offeud nobody by tasig'uii/g. On the contrary thejr would Ipe ap-. pluuded by tlie demodruoy at |arge.

I POLITICAL HYPOCRISY m The Indefensible, Contemptible ( Action of so-Called Democrats. * Tiieiu Action Should Receive t the Condemnation of All De- cent Men?They Should Be Taught a Lesson. Now that the debris of tho Into po litical carnage lias beon oleared up. tho figures and statements of the votes r - ceivod bv some o 1 the o'indidatt s as H published in ibu different newspapers, j- cotitaiu some very interesting food for |, reflection on the part of \onus caudi- |i dates un 1 tli\ir Mends The Demo F oratio Congressional C uivc'itioti i.omi- * tinted one of the ablest men in tins dis triot as its standard bearer, and oue who would havo added much to tho I credit of the district were he successful \u25a0' at the polls, but the lu'ge ninj irity o Voters held that the party in power e were responsible for the condi'lon -of 1- affairs and so expres«eil themselves. This of course meant the Democratic y standard bearer's defeat. But wo would t like to see an explanation iu print of I why the oaudidato lor Cougresa in Orange O mnty received nearly 1 000 *' votes less than the Democratin candi- date for Lieut. Governor Tlio nctuat .?! vole was: Look wood 8,012; Ivos, 7,050 f, In the vote in Sullivan County tliote J was a difference of 370 So far as tlie j vote on Congress in this county was (. ooucerned, we have no comment, but desire to cull particular attention to 'he j vote cast for the D<-mooratio candid ite c for Sheriff and some facts in couucotiou 2 with the late eleotion. Fur mouths preceding tile County Convention, or 0 in fact from the time that the question j of who should succeed the present in- r cumbent tu the Sheiiff'a office But one a name was mentioned. No matter where t oue went, whether in the northern part, a the southern part, in the centre, the west'-m or eastern parts of tno county, f, aud it became known that the gentle- e mau who filled that high office so com t- placeutly for three years, was to be r again a candidate, with the strongest C probability of his nomination. It 7 seemed as if every voter in the count,v was satisfied, and indeed, Hrti»n the ii convention met at. Now Ci>y to nomi- o natt the oounty ticket, every delegate ti in the convention had but one choice, a the nomination being unanimously ten dered to him During the cainpuigti j iu every part of the county the nominee a was assured that he was to huve a J \walk over,\ iu fact, if the statements s were to be believed, his election was to u be orowned with the largest majority ever aooorded a candidate. This seemed too good to be true The insincerity of those statements oau best be judged by a comparison of tho vote oast lor the j offices of Sheriff aud Member of As sembly. When oue considers that the \ Democratic candidate for the latter e office was to be punished by a certain J faction for exercising that right which v iB accorded all men, for his vote against t the nomination of a certaiu candidate t somi time previous. But ulas, when the j Returns came in it was found that he, t the respected, honest business man, who bad given the offioe tip best ud- [ ministration in its history, was de- feated by the lurgest adverse pluruhti of any man on th« ticket. This was no surprise to anyone familiar with ihe methods and aols of some of Rockland County's eleotors The motive for this needs no explanation. I was painfully appaient, and oue that, we cannot fail to uuderstaud. But we oannot but wonder if those bigois ever stopped to oonsider what they were doiug aud if, do they remember the names of a iu i- jority of the men who signed the piece of parchment over 118 years ugo, which eventually made this heterogeneous muss what they nre, Do they forget that when the Maryland President i-< sued his famous cull to urrns, who the people were who almist to a. mau shouldered the muskets and saved their country, wl en some of these b line Torys who were uuuhle to purchas: iiibstitute, fled to Cauada aud othC plaoes acroi-s the border, only to return when peace was proclaimed? Do they forget the gallaut General and his i famous ride of twenty miles, who for his servic.s was afterwards made Com- mander iu-Chief of the Army? Do they forget the host of men who saori- lined life and fortune. But enough. Do these copper-fastened bigots and liypoL'ritical vipers ever stop to think iha't in the last quarter of a century hey never \Yoi\ld have elected a single candidate to office without Ihe votes of Men of the same'stamp as the candidate for Sheriff? If their memory is so de- fective it may need some strong tuedi ciue to cure them, and, it. may be loiiud necessary to fight'tyre with'Ure aud the (,\ay may not Un fur distant when some with the ability and nqunite amount of sand may head the prudes siou and successfuliy advocate a svstem 0;f reciprocity.

The vote ou the amendments ill Sul- livan County is a peculiar oue, While Morton's majoritv is 012 Bud all the Republican ticket, except Sheriff' is eleoted high and dry, the amendments t are defeated by mujoiiiies ranging from 495 to 700.

O.i Sunday mailt the henuerys of John 11 dly aud Henry Klelsohman t were entered and übout fifty fine fat e fowls stolen. On Monday afternoon j thiee two gentlemen met in the Bar-- r don ia Post Office and compared notes, v the teault of which wus that they sus- peoted a man known as FrutiK Schultz, better known as ''Chicßen Frank,'' j who resides near Mount Moor aud a S woman nutntd Pauline Klutoh, who lives near Bardonia. The Klutoh woman and her husband conducted a small farm in the vicinity, Mrs. Klutch a peddling the produce, etc , in Nyaok e aud this villuKH. The Klutoh's also raised chickens which the woman sold u to her customers, but recently it was e learned that she was selling a large number of fowls. Learning that tho woman usually came to Haverstraw on Tuesday's, ihey lollowrd and overtook her at Cohen's butcher shop on Broad- way, where shb was endeavoring to dispose of a basket full ol dressed poultry. Th' y thereupon ohnrcred her with stealing the chickens. This the womuu indignantly ? enied. Mr. Cohen having nu.de u bargain was weighing the [oultry, but refused to purchase .Jfieni upon learning the condition of i '\u25a0ffttirs. Alessra Holly aud Kletsohman I then weut before Justioe Knupp aud ! swore out a wirruut ugainst Mrs. Kluicli aud the man Frank. Officer B'ahoock fouud F''uuk iu Broad Btreet, where he was tryiug to dispose of some poultry aud plaoed him uuder arrest. The officer then went iu search of the woman, but she had gouo home. Tho officer having to attend to some other business. The hearing in the case was adjourned until \Yednesday afternoon, Frank promising to ho on hand, On Wednesday mi yuiug Officer Balioook weut to B udoiiia to nerve the warrant, \yhen he leal Lied that Frank and the woman had hft their respective homes i lie previous night, aud so to speak had \fl iwu the ooop.\ From what the officer could lturu from tho distracted husband and neighbors, the geueral impression deemed to be that the oouple had left together, EX-SHERIFF BENSEN FREE. Ex-Sheriff Charles B. Benson, who ban been oouflued in the New City jail I for eight mouths pust, was released from custody on Friday morning last on an order signed by Judge Charles F. u Brown, of Newbuigh. Last March h Bei jamin Smith, Benson's son-in-law, s secured a judgement tw/ainst the latter s Benson failed to satisfy the judgment J aud Judge Brown dtolared him to be iu couleuipt and issued a warrant, V which was served bv Sheriff Dickey, I a Since thut time Beuseu bus beeu u prisoner.

Fruuk P. Demurest, su- -7 vuied tlie order from Judge Brown, THE TRUSTEES ACT I A Committee Appointed to Su- perintend the ll'orlc of the Gas Company. The Streets Must Be Replaced in Proper Condition. Tho Board of Trustees met in tho Corporation rooms on Tueslay < ve iiug, Messrs. McCabe and Fox being tho ab- sentees.

This the rest of tho Bjurd oli- jected to, for the reason that the bridge v had been broken by the Gas Company : aud the members thought it only fair j that the company should replace it. 0 The reports of the treasurer aud bank ? showing the amounts ou hand, were received and placed on file. President j Zuudel then brought the condition of the streets to tho attention of the t Board. The President oommcuded tho Times for what we said iu reference to v the mauner iu which tho Gas Company ( tepluced the streets after luyiug their pipes. Mr. Bruhm offered a resolution j, to the effect that the Gas Company re- () place the streets in lis good condition j as they were before the pipes wore laid f( was adopted and tho Street Committee and President empowered to force tho the Gas Company to comply with the j terms of their franchise. A communication from General War- ren Hose Company was refer mil to the Board of Engineers. \u25a0; Mr. McKenzie, who is very anxious to know where the Police Jtistico is, e offered a resolution that Ihe Corpora j tion Counsel render au opinion regurd- ing the right of the Board to uppoiut a Police Jnstioo in Mr. Taylor's übseiioe, and for that purpose an uij mrument was taken until Fiiday evening, wheu \ Mr. Wheeler will render his opiui. n.

The tank is built and paid for, and judging from the expression of the people who aie . interested, the tack at Schafer's corner ? is there to stay. The streets iu that viciuity are iu u deplorable oondition. Iu front ot the iMi uoliun building, ou 8 upper Broadway, ihe stieot is covert d l with huge stones which came from the treuchts.

Buyloy, is in- viting a controversy through tho col- limns of the paper of which ho is \Medical Editor.\ Judging fiom the persistency with which ho holds on to tho question of scurletinn in the public school, but as I detest newspsper no- toriety (and in this ho differs with mo), as iu matters medical I will not take tip tho gauntlet which ho throws down;for in medical ethics it is considtred derogatory to the dignity of tho pro- fession to resort, to public advertise- ments of private cards or haudbills inviting the attention of individuals affected with particular dinases; and for tins offencc I havo known them to have been refused udmission into their county Medical Sooiety. In tho last edition of tho Rcckland County (Medical) Messenger, two urli- cles occupying nearly one half of the first page appear concerning our pres- ent visitation of scarletiua, and I huve not the timo to controvert them section by section us would be necessary if the articles were fully answered, but will simply pick out this oue. \Drs. House uud Laird who have no authority iu the matter, aud whether they no it, believing their judgment is superior to the Health Board, or do it to ruise opposition, order purents to keep their children away from school,\ Notv us to ordering parents to k«ep their children away from school, wc huve not tho right to do so, auy more than the Health Board have the right to order the opening of tho school; but we do have the right to advise parents to keep children homo and propose to exercise it wheu necessity requires, aud iu this instance at least we do believe our judgment superior to that of the Health Board, us it ha beeu ou a former occasion, which I will show lutor on. Now to quoto again from \Medical Ethics..' I will show yon thut it is our duty to protect the public independent of any Heulth Boarl. To quote as good citizens, it is the duty of pliysio- iuns to be ever vigilant for the welfare of the community; they should also be evor ready to give counsel to the public in relutiou to matters especially apper- taining to their profession. Now the fuctis onr Health Boord is too slow aud conseqututly inefficient and is pruclically tho same Board which attempted to cope with small pox in 188S and we all remember with what sad results. How many oases? How many dead? And wh} ? Simply because they were so slow to aot upon the same advice and proffered by the same individual us now. llud the advice been tuken, Brown would huve been the only case. Now parents, once mora I advise you to keep your children (who have not immunity from previously having had the disease) ut home until the dis -use shall have disappeared from our midst and 'he school nui ding shall have beeu properly fumiguted. Aud now I have done my duty to the piitdic uutl shall wash my hands of the whole matter. I do not desire any free advertising uud ahull uot again appear in print couoerniug this matter. I have been praotising medicine in Rookland County lor the past thirty six years, and you nil know me and whether my medioal opinion is worthy of credit. The matter is no.v left with you, uud aot upon the advice of the oue in whom you may have the most confidence. Wm. S. Bouse. Editok Times ?I wish to correct, the the uiisstuteiueuts made by health cor- respondent iu this week's issue of the Messenger. Au my time is too preooou- pied to write articles for cheap newspaper advertising this will be the lust I will have to say in reference to the present epidemio. Tho physicians did not condemn the school, but advised pareutß to keep their children at homo us the diseuse was truceable to the public school. The Bi-alth Oftioer cannot deny this. Principal Murkham has always been informed duriug the last six years of contagious in tho village, exuept in cases of the present village Health Officer, who does not report his contagious cases?probably ho hud none. I know of soarletiuu cases he has had within the luot two or three mouths, whioh he has not reported?maybe lliey are not so contagious ou the villugo outskirts us iu bis jurisdiction. The Health Officer might look to these us a source of the present epidemio. I have reported every ousn of soarlutina iu my p tients to the Health ! Offioe. In tlie Nonamaker family I' i reported the first case Nov. 10 and the second on Nov. 17. The Messenger article would make it appear thut there 3 ! wus only oue child, when there was two. It the Beulth B mrd decided to 3 prosecute me they keptit to themselves, ' us I did uot heur of it. It bi comes the dignity of physicuus to tell the truth, but tho Heulth oor- \ respondent iu Ihe last two or three '' \u25a0 weeks huve been fur from it. J E. B. Laikd. M. D, SAFE BLOWN OPEN. * Some time during Friday uiglit or ' early Saturday morning, burglars en- tared the Hour und feed mill of Kaiser & Son, neur tho old paper mill, uud , blew open the safe. The burglars t>b tlined but lilty cents iu puuuics aud . about one dollar iu two cent postuge stamp. Eiilruuoo wus effected by bursting in tho ollico door with a sledge hummer and chisel stolen from the bluoasmUh shop of Mr. Hoffman, uhicli was only a short distance from the mill. ! The burglars drilled two holes iu the j safe door und must have used u power- ' tl ful explosive as the sale uu» completely ! e wrooiied; the effect of the exploaiou wus ! o ' iippoaruut upon tho i lliou furniture, ir The books uud pupers iu tho safe were e ' considerable scorched und strewn is iuouihl, but nothing wus tukeu except is the pennies und stamps. A similar if burgulury took place übout two years is ugi., siuuo whioh time tho safe has never it) beeu looked, so, thut had I lio burglars d I liken the trouble to opou the sale, ull s their labor iu drilling tho holes might have been saved.
