True enough; but the old-time wages were under a Re publican administration, and the reetoration by another Republican administration is made necessary by the blunders of an intervening Democratic regime. \Inert lethargic, doing nothing* waiting for something to turn up Populists have availed themselves of their opportunity,\ says the Philadelphia American, the most prominent Populist paper in the Doited States. Just on the eve of choosing dates for national conven- •tions, that sort of talk is signficant and ereates an impression that things look blue at Pop head quarters. '' The County Gazette of Glen Cove, which this year had the official ap pointment from the Nassau Super visors, has begun to rail at Super visor Jones because another paper secured the patronage for next year, Whatever the conditions, the Ca se tte ehould remember that it is not ly Democratic paper in the untv and that ’tis better to catch the crumbs that fall than throw them to tbe.dogs. ■ sene an L new cdu The ehowing made by the House of Representatives on the money question is not encouraging to Bryanilie. The House passed the gold standard measure by a vote of 190 to 150, every Republican mem her and 11 Democrats voting aye. The vote for this bill represents jpV - dential campaign will undoubtedly atari with the gold standard as the law of the land. Mr. Bryan noted the recent action of the Southern Hosiery, Spinner’s Association at Charlotte, N. G.f The meeting represented 75 per cent of all the hosiery spinners of the South, and they adopted reso lutions setting forth the necessity of maintaining an open-door policy in China, the restoration of order in the Philippines by this Govern ment the construction of the Nica ragua canal, and other matters. This is only an instance of the atti tude of the entire textile industries in the South. ~ The recent financial disasters, E which are largely the result of -injudicious loans upon watered 4oak, are liable to throw the trust \promoters\ out of employment and permanently check these spec ulative prices, which have brought reproach upon many legitimate bus- iaeaa consolidations required for the economical production of arti- elee of consumption. Legitimate consolidation of interests to reduce the cost of production, and so duce the price to consumers, is quite a different thing from the indiscrim inate organization of enormous con cerns with inflated stock for specu lation purposes only, and the public will quickly discriminate between the two systems. The Board of Education of Val ley Stream, is wrought up over the fact that- a young married woman in its jurisdiction who is within the age covered by the Compulsory Ed ucation law is not attending school. The Board is going to find out whether it has the right to compel her attendance at school. In com smiting on this the Brooklyn Times aaya that ’'when public < fficiale arc so stupid as these men seem to be, they make themselves absurd. The American wbo does not know that a aaarried woman is under the care of her hwaband absolutely, is ignorant of a basic principle of common law.\ County Canvass Completed The Nassau County Board of Caaiuaatira met last Friday after noon and completed the canvass of the vote la the county. There wen- no soldiers' votes to canvass and the remit, as already published iu the Rsvnew, la uwthanged. George W. Doughty, the Republican candi date for member of Assembly, re ealved a plurality of 1 , 001 , and Dr. Jamaa A Cooley, Republican cawli- flhda lor School Commissioner, de i Adthe Hicks, the Demo $ e n IU U M U DEFECATE. water saveir. i s * ■» ri™ 1 aaS M ia s t t e s o f t h e eras*. The State Board of Charities has sent to the Overseers of Poor of this town a copy of the inspector’s report of s recent visit made to the Town Almshouse at Uniondale, calling their attention “to the evil end de fects at each almshouse, with the request that the same be remedied iss soorf as possible.” The report states that there are many evils and defects in the alms house end the Overseers of the Poor are criticized for not bringing the condition of the place to the at tention of the voters of the Town of Hempstead. The report, in sub stance, eays: ••The keeper and matrons seem to be capable persona, but are hand icapped for lack of proper facilities. The housework is evidently careful ly attended to and the food supply is varied end of a good quality. The first appearance of the building is attractive, for it looks like an old fashioned mansion, but the first im pression does uot last very long, as the interior, while clean, is well worn, except in the portions reserved for the keeper. \No precautions are made to meet the contingency of a fire and with the one central stairway the build ing would prove a fire trap in which many would be burned to death. There is immediate and urgent need of fire protection end of fire escapes. The first should be pro vided in an additional water supply and chemical extinguishers and the latter by means of properly ar ranged outside stairs from the up per floors. \To obtain sufficient water two 'ways are open: To make connection with the Hempstead village water system, and the other to sink the present well or dig a new one. The first plan would require an ex penditure of $2,000 or more, while the second may not require more than half that sum. Whether the water comes from wells or the Hempstead system the house will have to be piped for proper service. “The laundry equipment is very poor. Something better should be provided. The bathing facilities are also not sufficient There can not he a real separation of the sexes as long as both sexes are compelled to use same stairway, and all the inmates eat in a common dining room. “The overseers seem willing to do all that Bee me necessary for the im provement of the house, but com plain of lack of funds. They are evidently in fear of the voters, who are adverse to spending much for the improvement of the alms house. The almshouse is a bene ficiary of the Stewart estate and the annual income from the trust fund for its benefit and for outdoor relief is $5,000, to which during the past year was added $5,000 from the excise fund. \As the amount of the excise fees paid into the town treasurer is over $17,000, it would seem as if all the money required to put this almshouse in the best condition is available without any direct tax. There ought therefore to be no hes itation in making all improvements of so vital a character as an efficient water service. As the farm of sixty acres, attached to the almshouse, ie The Good Otd Times. The times were never so old as they are to-day. They may rightly be \\tty* -\good old times.” In many respects they are far better than any that have preceded them. Some pessimistic croakers may see a glory in former days which they believe is wanting now; but, if they could be carried beck to the period whose praises they chant, they would soon bemoan their ill-fortune. While it cannot he said that labor has eAieved ell that it ought, there ie a wonderful advance on the past. Hours of work have been decreased. Men are no longer expected to toil through the long days of summer from daylight to dark, and wages in many callings, as compared even with half a century ago, are, at least, threefold more. With all the exactions of great corporations, everything essential for a household has been greatly cheapened. While much complaint is made concerning tenement houses, yet people who live in the worst of these are generally better housed than most who followed any kind of handicraft in the beginning of the century. Then, if we consider the facilities for and the cheapness of travel, and ihe comfort and speed with which it is accomplished, may find much cause for gratula- tion. It took a Congressman in the earlier years of the republic more days to make tbe distance from Washington to New York than it does hours in these times. Vie may execrate the trolley, but none of us want to go back to the old omnibus or stage. The quickness with which the news of the world is given to us is good cause for felicitation. W hat months of suspense people formerly had to know when war was raging! How many weeks often passed be fore our fathers knew the result of a Presidential election! A city newspaper of a hundred years ago, would not compare with the issue of the poorest backwoods weekly of our day. There are a thousand and one other causes for felicitation in these times, but space prevents an enum eration of them. As we enter upon the new year, let us all rejoice in the good old times of the present. H e w rm tiere to Moll IU A « k e U N awon'i N e w Court Horn**. The delay in the Barcum Island property by the Board of Super- visora of Nassau County it is thonght has sopiewhat to do with the institution. For the reason that the total outlay is so small, there should be no hesitancy in making the necessary move. The overseers will act, if directed to do eo by the State Board of Charities, for then they can go back to the electors .With the statement that the in creased outlay was due to the im perative suggestion from the capi- ital. They do not care to take the initiative.\ Dwight L. Moody. Dwight L. Moody, the noted evangelist, who died at his home in Northfield, Mass., last Friday, was in many respects one of the most remarkable men of tbe period. Starting out in life under disadvan tageous circumstances, but with wonderful physical resources, he accomplished phenomenal reeults. Intellectually he was bright, brusque and engaging; and as a speaker, with utter disregard of rhetoric and the graces that are cul tivated by orators, he held his large audiences by hie simplicity, home liness, fervor, and sincerity. Large multitudes throughout this and other countries have listened to his exhortations and pleadings; thou sands have been converted to God and much good accomplished. A feature of Mr. Moody's life work was tbe establishment of an educa tional institution at Northfield,where young men and women desiring to enter upon missionary work, could receive au elementary training. Councilman May Go To Jail. Councilman David L. VanXua- trand, of Little Neck, will, as the result of a motion made before Justice Beekmau iu the Supreme Court Wednesday, probably be sent to jail. NauNoetrand declined to vote for the bond issue of $2,100,000 for the new Hall of Records. His lawyer, Harrison L. Moore, told Justice Beckman yesterday that his client had never received notice to attend | case, court, and ask that the fine be re mitted. Justice Beckman said if he reheard the case he would increase the fine, and perha|w send VanXuetrand to prison. Moore said in face of that atti- HB 1 PSTE 1 B TOW* BOARD.

A petition signed by 183 property owners, asking for re-establishment of the Lynbrook lighting district, was received by the Town Board at its meeting on Tuesday. Henry H. I’ayne, appearing for a number of tax-payers^ protested against tbe re-establishment of tbe district, which had previously been declared illegal by the courts. He considered it bad policy to agaiu saddle this burden on the people. The Board decided to give a fur ther hearing on the question. A petition was also received, signed by fifteen residents of Wan- tagh, asking for establishment of a fire district in that territory. Tbe request was granted. Counselor John Lyon, appearing for Wm. H. Clark, reported a flaw in title to property at Rockville Centre purchased by hie client dur ing Town Treasurer Davenport's term, and on which tbe town then held a mortgage. The matter was referred to Town Treasurer Hall for investigation. Henry Floyd Johnson was grant ed lease to ground for an oyster house. The Board passed resolutions rel ative to the services of Justice Eustace H. Wheeler, ami expressing regret at bis retirement on Jan. 1, when his four-year term ends. Nezseu County Supervisors. The Board held a short session lost Thursday at Mineola. The matter of plane for the new County Court house was talked over, but no action was taken. School Commissioner Cooley ask ed the Board to fix extra compensa tion for hia services owing to in crease of territory after Jan. 1. The Board will consider his request at a future meeting.

Powers of Central Park, who was recently granted decree of separation from her hue- band, James J. Powers, at tbe last term of the Nassau Supreme Court has been granted alimony of $100 per month and costs of $130.91.

[ Attorney Keith, who at the meeting Others are of the opinion that he two weeks ago made a proposition fell into one of the ponds on his way to have a company organized and build tbe line wi the erection of the proposed court house and jail. The property was regularly ad vertised and it is generally under stood that there are several parties prepared to pay from $75,000 to $10,000 for the valuable tract of up land and meadows. It is now held by tbe best legal minds of this town that the Board of Supervisors is not empowered to sell any of the real estate of the county without the authorization of a population vote. Whether this may be done at the town meetings of the several towus or whether tbe question will be determined at a general county election, Is open for debate. It is thought by many that the matter will have to be settled by the Legis lature and the Supervisors will be authorized by statute to dispose of the island. The fact that large tracts of beach property on the south side of Nassau County are being eargerly snapped up by investors leads the Super visors to hope that with a guarantee of a good title a still higher price than the above may be obtained. The Barnum Island property was deeded to Queens County by Mrs. Peter C. Barnum many years ago for the purpose of a poor farm. It came into the possession of Nassau upon the division of Queens County under the provisions of the general act for the division of counties.— Treasurer Phipps Molds On. The term of County Treasurer Charles L. Phipps of Queens County expires with the present year. Nc successor has been elected, as the boundaries bf the county and boro ugh of Queens are the same. It was supposed that at tbe end of the term Comptroller Coler would succeed Phipps. Mr. Phipps is uot sure this point. He holds nearly a mil lion dollars worth of property Three citizens of Queens County are on his bond and they would be liable for any mistake be made. The act which created Nassau County did not specifically abolish the office of county treasurer in Queens, neither did it mention who bis successor should be. I util this point is determined Mr. Phipps, act ing upon tbe advice of bis counsel, George W. Davison, will not sur render possession of bis office or tbe valuables in bis possession. It will require a suit at law to establish this point. Queens Officials Remembered County Treasurer Charles L. Phipps and District Attorney George W. Davison of Queens were remembered Christmas by handsome presents from their respective staff#. The former official received a solid gold pocket match safe of exquisite design and the latter, a handsome loving cup of silver and gold. Another Water Suit. Samuel J. Horton of Valley Stream has commenced an action against the city of New York, to re cover damages iu the amount of $15,000 for the diversion of water from his mill pond by the City Water Works Department. Horton claims that tbe pond has been lowered to an extent that bis mill has been rendered useless. He al leges that the natural flow of water to the pond has been stopped, and the water taken for tbe uses of the city. A pond which was once filled wiih clear, sparkling water has be come a stagnant pool, aud a mill which was formerly tbe scene of bustling industry is inactive and crumbling away, because of tbe lack of power. In tbe notice claim which has been served upon the Controller, Mr. Horton says be will sue for $15,000 or more unless tbe same is satisfied within thirty days. This is but one of many actions which have been commenced against the city which arc based on similar grounds. Wants Extra Compensation. School Commissioner Janies S. Cooley, who on January 1 will as sume control of tbe entire County of Nassau, and will be practically county superintendent of tbe schools, appeared before the Board of Supervisors at their meeting last Thursday and asked for an extra compensation on tbs ground that the $1,000 allowed by tbe state is not, in bis opinion, enough for the work required of the commissioner. He gave facts aud figures to show that the Nassau district after Janu ary 1 will be tbe largest iu tbe state in point of teachers employed and number of pupils. In Queens County the commisbioners were al lowed $600 per year each extra com pensation.
