Donovan has long been known as an Irrepressible "kloker," and has not been straight In the Democratic traoes in many years. His behavior in the Board of Alderman was not suoh as to commend him to the people. He was the Instrument In the Board of Republican wire pullers, beaded by William H. Ray, and his services In their behalf, including the casting of his vote for Ray as President of the Board, is not yet forgotten by the Democratic voters of his homo bailiwick. Of course, Donovan has not the slightest chance of election.

Ho will receive some support from Democratic he more or less affected. Money on call has this week averaged about per cent, with 8 and 3 per cent, as the extremes. The demand at the higher rate was caused by the Inquiry for funds upon collateral of a somewhat unsatisfactory character. Borrowers with acceptable security have had no difficulty in obtaining all needed funds at 6 per cent Commercial papor Is in fair request, but rates ore not low. The best Indorsed bills go at 6 per cent four months accep tances sell at y2 to 7Xi and good single names at to 8.

Although the bank reserves are low most of the Institutions are loaning up to their full capacity, and after accommodating their regular customers offer balances on the Btreet and seek to secure the best rates on unexceptionable collateral. Statistics of flour importations into the United Kingdom show that they have quadrupled within the last twenty one years, rising from 3,901,471 cwts, in 1865 to 15,833,843 in 1885. The imports of flour during this period aggregated 166,844,894 of which the United States furnished 85,750,280 cwts or over 51 per cent Last year the importation: from this country were 11,731,903 cwts. or 74.1 per cont against only 6.57 per cent In 1865. For the first nine months of this year tho United States has sent to Great Britain more than three fourths of all the flour received by that coun try.

The Mark Lane Express commenting upon the condition of the morkot, says: "Tho flour trade is very much depressed by the large arrivals of American brands, which have been sold at uupre cedentedly low rates, and it has been stated that not a few of the country millers have shut down rather than persist in the hopeless attempt to mako flour which can compete with tho produce of the United States. The future of tho British tailllng trade Is a problem which appears likely to be solved by the Am erlcan millers simply crushing our native mill Ing Industry out of existence. And that Is not all for the entire agricultural Interests of this country are bolng degraded, demoralized and deatroyed by an overwhelming foreign competition." The entire iron trade throughout Pennsylvania is very firm and higher prices are probable. Manufacturers are Inclined to defer onterlng Into further engagements excepting on more favorable terms. Furnaces are sold far ahead even where the output Is of an Inferior character.

Leading manufacturers at Pittsburg of Iron, steel, glass and coke say that the mills, factories and ovens are running to their fullest capacity and in many instances orders are ahead for months of steady work.

Tho total bank clearings at thir ty cities for this week Is $1,090,293,686, against $1, 095,695,008 last week, a decline of $5,000,000 or one half of 1 per oent, and compared with a year ago a loss of 4 per cent The conspicuous teada feature Is found In the largo increase in demand for raw and finished iron at the West and South. Steel rails are no higher, and not likely to be In the near future, although the mills are well sold up. Dry goods generally are not so active.

An Assessment of the Stock Probable Banks and Trust Companies Enjoying a Profitable Season Coarse of the Stock Market for tho Week Exchange Again at the Gold Import' ing Point. Wall Street, Saturday Evening, October 23. The appointment of new receivers for the Central Now Jersey Railroad last week, now seems to have been preliminary to an entire reorganize' tlon of the company, with a view to placing it upon a sound financial basis. It is estimated that at least $3,000,000 will be required for this purpose, and In order to obtain this amount of money the most feasible course will probably be to assess the stock and Issue a new bond. The mortgages now outstanding are $5,000,000 first 7s; $4,400,000 convertible 7s: $15,000,000 oonsul 7s; $600,000 Newark and New York 7s; $8,000,000 American Dock 8s; $5,484,000 adjustment 7s, and $0,000,000 debenture 6s.

It will be seen that $80,454,000 of the bonds bear 7 per cent, Interest, which Is more than this or Indeed any other road can stand. Therefore it Is probable that the bondholders will be asked to accopt a new bond or bonds boarlng a lower rate of interest If this proposition should bo mado. and airreed to, It Is likely that the road could almost Immediately be made to earn its fixed charges. The last published report shows that the line earned net for the fiscal year ending Novem ber 30, 1885, $4,651,266. The interest and other charges were leaving a deficit of $1,333, 877 against a deficit of $1,474,231 for the previous fis cal year.

If the Interest account can bo reduced even 2 per cent, by tho acceptance by bondholders of 5 In place of 7 per cent on the $30,000,000 of bonds, $600,000 will be saved, and other reductions can, It Is believed, bo made aud after thorough reorganization tho road can meet its interest amount and have something loft over for the stock. The principal reason for the sharp decline in stock this week is that the amount of the assessment to be levied is unknown and until something definite was stated holdors were inclined to spll and the boars have helped the selling movement by circulating reports of au exeesslvely large assessment The banks and trust companies of this city are now enjoying a season of prosperity whloh has not beeu equalled for five years, and It Is asserted that the profits of the business during the last half of this year will be larger than for any entire year since 1880. One trust company alone, whloh has had the reorganization of sovoral of the bankrupt railroads, has made enough money to pay for a new building now being constructed, and doubtless it will have a satisfactory surplus. One of the largest banks, carrying the heaviest surplus in the city, has for the past two months bought nothing but the highest rate paper in tho market, loaning very little upon stocks except upon long time. Bank stock Is well held and at good prices and stockholders expect to receive better dividends than they have had for several years.

The stock market has been irregular this week, with the substantial properties comparatively strong and some of the anoy stocks and the ooa 1 shares Inclined to be weak. The latter have been affected by the fall In Central New Jersey, and this has to a great extent counteracted the effect of the favorable news from the West, Indicating a ces sation of labor troubles at Chicago and Minneapolis aud the restoration of the freight rates by the roads centering at Chicago from the Northwest and by those In the Central Traffic Association. On Mon day morning Central New Jersey, Reading and Manhattan Elevated wore weak, whllo the North ern Pacifies, Hooking Valley, Oregon Transcontinental and Colorado Coal wore strong. Sub sequently there was a raid upon Ma nhattan. Central New Jersey and Lackawanna which forced deollnes of 9, 3 and IK per cent, in each respectively, and this had an unsettling effect upon the whole list.

In the course of half an hour there came an irregular recovery, but the tone was fever ish for the remainder of the morning. The tendency was generally upward in the afternoon until the final dealings, when there was a fall In leading stocks to about, the lowest points of tho day. On Tuesday Central Now Jersey was again the weakest stock at the opening and In the early trade, but after the first hour the marks gradually Improved under the lead of Louisville and Nashville, Oregon Transcontinental and Colo rado Coal, and in the afternoon Lackawanna and Reading moved upward. The tone was irregular after 1 o'olock until the final dealings, when there was a reaction, and a better feeling prevailed at tho close. On Wednesday there was a drop In Hocking Valley, Reading and Central New Jersey In the early trade, followed by a recovery, led by Lacka wanna, Lake Shore and Louisville and Nashville, and lator by Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin nati and Indianapolis, New England and the Northern Pacifies.

Early In the afternoon Richmond Terminal, Missouri, Kansas and Texas and Reading advancod, and the tone was generally strong until the final dealings, when an attack upon Central New Jersey, Western Union and the Nickel Plates had an unsettling effect and tho market closed at about the lowest points of the day. On Thursday the movement was at first upward and then downward for Now England, Reading, Central New Jersey and Lackawanna, and then came an irregular recovery, led by Louisville and Nashville and Northern Pacific preferred. There was a fairly strong undertow for the remainder of the morning and early in the afternoon, and although at intervals there was a feverish movement the tendency was generally upward to the close. There were some indications that the bears had partially accomplished their object and had been covering short contracts during the demoralization which was caused by the fall In Central New Jersey and Hocking Valley, and some of the bulls were advising purchases of stock for a sharp, upward turn. claiming that tho situation had Improved so as to Justify expectations of a much higher market.

On Friday the movement was feverish during the first half hour of business, but subsequently it became stronger, and It so continued for the remainder of the morning. In the afternoon the boar traders re newed their efforts to force a decline, and they succeeded in keeping the market more or less unsettled to near the close, when thero was a partial recovery. This morning the market was Irregular and lower during the first half hour of business. Then came a recovery and a dull movement for the remainder of the morning. Early in the afternoon there was another fall in the principal stocks, succeeded about half nast one by an improvement, and the tone was generally strong for the remainder of the day.

It 1b estimated that at least $2,000,000 is already on the way Irora London and the Continent, and bankers are of the opinion that more or less gold will continue to come for the remainder of the season.

One Influence operating at the exchange market Is the speculation In American securities in London under the lead of Gustav Rothschild, who commenced his operations about two months ago and has continued thorn since. Some speculators in London, Paris and New York, supposing that this movement was simply for a turn, hazarded speculative sales, but they soon found from tho manipulallon of the market that M. Rothschild had bought for more or less permanent holding. The future operations of this leader The Exhibition of "Woodcuts in the Monthly Magazines.

Appearances are deceitful, however, and by the same token few would suspect the burly old Stoddard of writing poetry with any feeling in it, or the bluff looking Charles NordbofT of Indicting a volume on Christian apologetics.

Taber, in his drawings for Gloucester Fishers," gets Into his pictures a good measure of saltiness and sea going roughness. Hla "meal time is true in every line. The new magaiine, Amtrican Art, has made its appearance, and proves rather a pretty and well meaning periodical.

The Initials and head and tail pieces sprinkled through it hardly amend for the lack ot other plotorial contents; but the magazine is new, and it must have time to grow. The October number of the Decorator and Fur nither has a tinted phototype of the America cup, and a plate In two colors showing tho pattern of a new flBh service designed at Limoges. It is rather against the nicer ethics of dining and of art to put greasy fish on Interesting plotures, even though the plotures bo glazed over and baked in porcelain. Of designs for furniture, stoves, lamps and so on thore are many, and most of them are good. There is room for Improvement in those necessities, and the editor remarks an apparent rivalry between the stove men and piano makers for the honors of making the ugliest designs.

He adds: "The sheet Iron enormities that are brought Into our rooms and sot down for our physical comfort are such deliberate and vicious horrors that the warming public has finally got up a widespread strike."

One recolves another start at discovering in the magazine five designs of sculpture from the nude. Has the British Matron at last relaxed her grip, so to speak, on the art of her native land, and may an humble sculptor give form to his feelings with out begging hot pormisslou? The figures are Lolghton's Sluggard aud Noodless Alarms," Gilbert's coarse, big footed woman In "Tho Enchanted Chair," Ingram's pretty "Salvinl" and a Vonus a la Bouguereau, by William Parker, and there Is no reason why tho British miltron should bridle at any of them. Perhaps the secret of her opposition to statuary lies In a vague Jealousy of it, for tho British matron Is prone to accumulate beef with her years and becomo quite a different sort of person from the nymphs chiseled Into existence by her suulptorial compatriots.

Here, for example, wo ha Ye two candidates leading the Domocratio tickets, city and county, who were within a decade both nominees of the Republican party. Ten years ago this Fall the Hon. Walter L. Livingston ran on the Republican ticket (or Surrogate. In the same con test Mr.

James W. Ridgway was nominated by tho Republicans (or Justice of the Peace. Mr. Livingston was elected, counted out and subsequently reinstated by the courts. He Is now the Democratic candidate (or Controller.

Mr. Bldgway made a strong run against his regular Democratic com petitor and was defeated by only a small majority. Both at the time were supported by independent Democrats, moving under the direction of the Blocum General Committee, but the bulk of their Totes came from Republicans. The combination, 01 which they were the outcome, was engineered by ex Mayor Schroedor and other Republican leaders. Lono ago Mr.

Livingston returned to the bosom of Democracy. He Is now a rogalar In high standing. Ho Is a good man, weighing, I should think, considerably over iSSO pounds. In point of personal beauty he is far ahead of any candidate on either tlokat He Is more than six feet in height til his stocking feet His features are expressive, bis well ahaped head is poised on a deep chest and powerful shoulders, and his whole phystquo is suggestive of athletic prowess. His handsome face, formerly terminating in a flowing beard, is adorned by luxuriant side whiskers.

His enormous bulk idoes not In the least Interfere with the perfect freedom of his movements, and he has a rapid, dashing manner, indicative of large energy and determination of character. Mr. Livingston is descended from the historic family of that name, and has long been a successful, practicing lawyer in the local oourta. When he ran for Surrogate an effort Was made to arouse feeling against him, on the iround of his Identification with the Roman Catholic Church, but ft reacted in hli favor and assisted In his suooess at the polls. IiAfiT Fall, when tho Democrats were hunting round for aMayoralty candidate, Mr.

Llvlngton'B namo was prominently disaussed In connection with the office. His claims were urged by Anthony Barrett, Sheriff's counsel, and other party workers, but for some reason ho was not nominated. Drome the week District Attorney Kidg way, who Is going to have all the fun he can gather out of the canvass, said to me, laughtngly One can never tell what to expect In poll Jos. Here, the Republicans have gone and nominated Tracy against me, when I had fthlag fixed to down Backus. If Backus had been noml.iated, the barbers would have been against him and for mo to a man.

Why 1 Because, so far as they can see, he never gets his hair out" Mr. Rldgway spoke hopefully of his prospects and said that he bollerej his re election Was a foregone conclusion. Nevertheless, he intended to make an active canvass of the county. The local Republican leader" view with Increasing alarm the antics of Deacon William Richardson. He has already been christened the "Burohard" of their campaign.

If there is in city politics a more unpopular person than the deacon he has not appeared on the surface this year. His appearance In conventions Is always the signal for something very xnuoh like a panic among the party who look upon him as an lntr idsr of evil omen, whose presence Is oalcul.od to alienate thousands of votes from the tickot Except as a uomlnte for Alderman the deacon never stool but once as a oandldate before the people. That was when he ran for State Senator against ths Hon. Joan R. Eennaday In a district where the deacon's party had a clear majority.

Mr. Kennaday was persuaded enter the raoe at the eleventh hour aud oasily succeeded In beating tho deacon out of his boots. It would be difficult to get at the real secret of the deaoon's unpopularity. He don't moan to be offensive: he cannot help It. His domineering manner Is not assumed, but comes by nature, and It is therefore, perhaps, unkind to take exception to it Although hlB hair and sweeping beard are silvered with ago ho is so full of vitality that It la with the utmost difficulty that he restrains Impetuosity, even on the most commonplace occasions.

If General Tracy is beaten for the District Attorneyship I think that he will owe his defeat as much to tho deacon's 111 timed advoca.y as to any other cause. Said that active and alert young theatrical manager, Walter L. Sinn, In conversstloD yoBturday: "The Idea that traveling dramatis ageuU have a hard time In getting on Is a great mistake. MoBt of them are bright, cap ibis men, wh) would be successful In al o. st any profession that they may adopt.

For first class companies their salaries run all the way from $50 to $130 a weak during the season. In addition to this they ore permlttod to rest during the vacation period on half pay. Of all the men in the business the most successful I think are those who have had journalistic training. It is an ocoupatlon which requires a wonderful amount of Shrewdness, and thatjis a point where all newspaper men, who amount to anything, excel. It requires only about two years' experience for an intelligent man to become a first class theatrical Ex Mayob Seth Low is expected to return from Europe during the present week.

Mr. Low has spent nearly a year abroad, and friends of his. In correspondence with him, say that he has been greatly improved by his tour in foreign lands. It is announced, evidently without his authority, that the ex Mayor is to take the stump fo. the Republican candidates.

If ho consents to speak his action will cause general surprise among his associates, who know that he was completely disgusted with the results of in this direction last year. The truth about Mr. Low is that he has never been very Intense in his partisanship. His hardesr political work was done In 1880 when, as President of the Young Republican Club, he was active in support of Garfield and Arthur. Beyond question Mr.

Low is one of the most effective political speakers in the city. Hlu election and re elect; to the Mayoralty were duo quite as much to his platform uttorances as to any other cause. Feeling against him because of bis refusal to come out openly for Mr. Blaine has not yet subsided, but It Is still possible that he may be rehabilitated In Republicanism and that he may be mado tho candidate on that side for an office a good deal higher than the Mayoralty of Brooklyn. With the present week it is also thought that Mr.

Beocher will return from abroad. Tho Republican politicians have already forgiven hla departure Into Mugwumpery to the extent of wanting him to speak In behalf of their nominees. With his son in the field Mr. Boecher, If called upon to advocate General Tracy's election, would be placed In a very ombarasslng dilemma. Some op the "boys," as the workers in politics nro called, are disposed to flpeak lrroverently of his Honor, tho Mayor, because, as they assert, he hesitates to give attention to many pressing questions of municipal government laid before him.

They have oven gone so far as to characterize him as "No Consideration" Whitney. Thb sebvioes of Mr. A. W. Tenney are being eagerly sought by Republican organizations all over the country.

He received an Invitation lost week from tho chairman of the Republican State Committee of Michigan to deliver a series of speeches In that State, and was only prevented from accepting It by pressure of legal business. It is thought that Mr. Tenney will be heard on the local stump before the canvass closes. Some otheb objection will have to be found to Major Richard H. Polllon, the Republican candidate for City Auditor, than that he is a Mugwump.

The major was about the only member of Mayor Low's so called cabinet," who occupied an unequivocal position In the last Presidential canvass. He was for Blaine throughout the campaign, and made no concoalment of hla sentiments. Major Polllon may not poll more than his party vote, but he is as suro of receiving that much support as any other man on tho Republican ticket. One of the humors of tho local canvass is the appearance of ex Alderman James Donovan as A Normandy Surprise and a Pleasant Goed by to Four Popular Young Ladies Other Occasions Worth Mentioning. The social events of the past week, not al.

ready described, are few In number, but not more so man ought to be expected at this season of the year.

A SOCIAL GOOD BY. A large gathering of young peoplo assembled at the residence of Mr. Peter F. Flood, 19S Hancock street, on Wednesday evening, for tho purpose of surprising Mr. Flood's daughters, Mabelle, Maggie, Edith and Grace.

Mr. Flood having started In business In Newark, N. and being about to reside there, tho many young friends of his children decided before they left to glvo them a good time, bo by arrangement they wore invltod out to spend the afternoon, and on returning homo, about 8 o'clock, were very much surprised to find the house full of young friends.

The recent fizzles in the shape of yacht raoes off Now York and Newport recall to mind one that was about as satisfactory as either of them, sailed at the Isie3 of Shoals ten or a dozeu years ago.

Mr. John It. Poor, who built the first Oceanic Hotel, essayed to make tho Shoals tho leading rendezvous for yachts in Eastern waters, and to this end promoted sovoral yacht race9, ono or two of which wore highly successful. Tho lost one gotten up by him was intended to eclipse all tho others; and It did. The prlzo was a cup valued at it was open to the competition ot all yachts enrolled In any recognized club, and tho numbor of entrieB was very large, while the fieet of uncontesting yachts that gathered was Immense.

On tho morning of the doy sot for the race a whaleboat was towed off seven or eight mllo3 In the direction of Cape Ann, anchored, a big en Blgn set at nor masthead and she was left there as a stakeboac, with no person on board. Tho race was started Bhortly aftor noon, and a benu tiful sight the thirty or forty contesting yachts made as they sped away before a brisk breeze; but tho sight was of brief duration, a thick fog suudonly closing iu on tho view. Hour after hour passed, and at length, long aftor tho race should have been finished, the yachts commenced to strag glo back one by one, guided by tho bell of tho old church on Star Island, which tho flshormen were steadily clanging as a signal to their comrades who wore out In their boats. All the yachts had the samo Btory to tell tho turning mark could not be found; lifts of the fog, when many ot the yachts were in the vicinity of tho turning point, had showu that there was no boat there, and it was supposed that she had either beeu run down or stolon. At length.

Just before night, a yacht came In and reported having found tho stakoboat more than half way over to Cape Ann, and turning it according to directions, it being evidontly moving slowly along before tho wind and sea, lifting the anchor from tho bottom with every swell, tho anchor line having beeu made fast too shorL No other yacht fouud the boat at all, and as It was picked up next day whore she reportod it the big mug was awarded to nor, to the lutouse and loudly expressed disgust of all the other yachtsmen. That race was tho last one gotten up at tho Shoals Portsmouth ChronieU. WHAT A SHARK EATS. The shark has tho reputation of a rapacious appetite and a good, strong stomach. Ho is not satisfied with trifles, nor can tho koeu edge of his appetite ba turned by a "diet of worms." He requires substantial bill of fare and liko the black country operative who askod the carver for a "piece of beef that would not bend" he is found of solids.

The stomach of a shark, which was recontly captured in Watsou'3 Bay, was opened and an examination of its contents made. According to the papers, among other things discovered wore a numbor of human bones, tho leg of a pair of gray tweed trousers, a pocket containing a penny, the buckles of a pair of braces, tho blade of an oar, an empty beerbottle, tho seat of a child's rocking chair, two tin meat cans, a gum pot, an old gridiron, and last, but not least, a half digested silk hat It is presumed that tho fish had been out to dinner with some gay fellow sharks tho night before. Ezchangt, l.tOHAM ALUIHAB ASSOCIATION. About forty Indies, members of the Now York and Brooklyn Ingham Alumnoa Association, met at Delmonlco's yesterday, for the semi annual reunion of the association "kickers." but this will be more than offset by the large Republican vote which will go to Mr. Campbell.

In the Third District Mr. S. V. White has begun an active personal canvass. Predictions that he would pursue the samo exclusive course that Mr.

Chlttonden followed In his successive campaigns have not boon verified. He has been going round among the peoplo during tho week shaking hands with everybody and making himself generally agreeable. Mr. White Is a skillful campaigner and has already made many friends. He said to mo during the week: "I have taken an active interest In politics since I was a boy and romember the political incidents In tho history of the oountry as well now as tho day after their occurrence.

My memory goes back to the struggle over the annexation of Texas as clearly as If it happened only last week. Since the organization of the Republican party I have been one of its consistent members. and am as familiar with Its traditions and history as I am with those of my own household. The honor which I have received from tho Third Dis trict Republicans Is one that any man ought to ap preciate and It shall bo my endeavor, by my utmost efforts, to deserve the distinction conferred upon me." Two years ahead of the national canvass the shrewdest among the local political observers are casting their eyes toward 1883. Among those who are Intently scanning the future, "for as human eye can see" Is James L.

Case, the affable secretary of the Young Republican Club. Mr. Case was one of the most prominent members to offer stout resistance in the club to the Mugwumps In 1884. It was largely through hlB efforts that the organization declared for Blaine Instead of Cleveland. In his judgment Blaine's renomlnatlon In the next Presidential can vass is a foregone conclusion.

He said to me tho other night: "Among Republicans I find a unanimity of" sentiment that surprises me. Nearly everybody with whom I have conversed, in the Republican party. Is in favor ot Mr. Blaine's re nomination. As an Indication of the feeling prevailing I will instance an occurrence a few nights ago out at Hempstead, Long Island.

The Young Republicans of that town have a flourishing organization. At the opening of their new club rooms recently I was an invited guest. Several speakers from Brooklyn were presonc, among them General Stewart L. Woodford. General Woodford, in the course of his remarks, referred to the possibilities of the next election.

He spoke of a number of candidate. His references to Logan, Hawley, Evarts, John Sherman and EdmundB were received without any demonstration whatever. But when he pronounced the name of Blaine the meeting went wild with enthusiasm and nearly took the roof off the building. It produosd an expression of enthusiasm such as I have rarely wit nessed. In conversation afterward I learned that Blaine was the first choice of nearly every member of the club for the nomination.

However ardent the boasts of the Blaine men are, the Mugwumps ro not less clearly defined In their attitude of antagonism to the Plumed Knight Brooklyn and Boston were the centors of the Independent Republican movement, and they still reflect dlstinotly the feeling of the bolters. In Boston many of the Independents have gone bodily over to the Democraoy. In Brooklyn they have not identified themselves with either party, evidently preferring to hold aloof in a position of observation, prepared for any emergencies that may arise. Of their steadfast determination to fight Blaine there can be no doubt. He will never go into the Whlto House with their assistance.

If he should run two years hence, with President Cleveland as the op posing candidate, thoy would, to man, stand by the President If Mr. Cleveland should not be tho Democratic nominee, they would etlll resist the elevation of Blaine, either by direct support of the Democracy or a third movement with an Independent Republican in the van. Speaking of their Intentions a member of the Independent Republican Committee of One Hundred of 1831 said: "The Independent Republicans of Brooklyn realize that among the regular Republicans Blaine Is still Btrong and that he may be nominated again in the next campaign. If he Is he will be oppose! by the Mugwumps as earnestly as he was two years since. No objection that then applied to him falln to apply to him now with oqual force.

To tho assertion that he fs an able aud brilllantman no denlai has ever beeu interposed by our people. Credit has always beau given to him by us for tho possession of high Intellectual qualities. But while we do not withhold appreciation of what he is and what he has done, we do not think that he should be President. Leaving aside the question of corruption on which there Is no difference of opinion among the Independents we regard him as essentially an unsafe man. Hla ambitious schemes would, In our Judgment, Involve the country In serious difficulties and for conservative reasons, If for no other, he ought to be kept out of the Presidential chair.

I know that the Blaine Republicans are fond of saying that the Republicans who bolted their favorite in 18S4 regret their action and that they would be unwilling to repeat the operation. To this I can only answer that the Independents are perfectly satisfied with thy result of the experiment and that, on sufficient provocation, they are prepared to adopt a similar polloy. Moreover, we are greatly with President Cleveland, and I am not sure that we would support any Republican nomine) In opposition to hlB re election, should he again go before the people." Few Betteb types of the German American citizen are to be found In the city than Justice Charles Naeher, the Republican nominee for Controller Justloo Naeher Is tho embodiment of good nature. His round, florid countenance Is a mirror of cheerful smiles. His chin Is tipped by a clump of whisker almost as bright as his shrewd, twinkling eyes.

He is rather corpulent and his appearance suggests that he Is fond of table delicacies and not averse to the moderate use of light wines. By industry and frugality the Judge has accumulated a modest fortune. He has a comfortable home in the Twenty first Ward and a pleasant cottage on the shore of Sheepshead Bay opposite Mr. Corbins big Oriental HoteL His Is as cheerful a household as can be found on this island and within its boundaries he experiences the chief pleasures that life has In store for him. Whether udge Naeher expects to be elected or not It would be difficult to say.

He accepted the Controllershlp nomination with extreme reluctance and only In compliance with tho appeals of some ot tho most distinguished leaders of hie party. When what is now the Eastern District of the City of Brooklyn was the Town of WHIIamsburgh, Judge Naeher took up his residence there. He lived in the territory at present embracod in the the Sixteenth Ward for more than thirty years. During that period he frequently engaged In stormy political contention. Ho was tho principal factional opponent of the Hon.

Jacob Worth, and ropeatodl wrosted from Mr. Worth control of the Sixteenth Ward Association. The fierce contests In this bailiwick made no end of trouble for the Republican leaders. Again and again the organization was reorganized; revisions of the roll became almost as numerous as primary elections; the rivalry for supremacy was fierce and keen. Special committees, sent up from the General Committee to revise the roll or to re enroll the members, failed to placate the opposing forces.

Differences continued until the ward passed from the hands of the Republicans to those of the Democrats. The natural division of parties there is about even, so that the repeated Democratlo successes on Assemblymen and, Supervlsorswere due more to Republican dlsensslons than to any other cause. The controversies between Naeher and Worth were amicably adjusted months ago, and It is nonsensical to talk of Worth opposing Naeher at tho coming election. Worth wants to succeed himself in the Senate, and ho is perfectly aware that if he should falter in support of Naehor that the latter's friends would retaliate with fatal effect next year. Thebe was general elevation of eyebrows over tho 'reported statemeut of Rev.

Justin D. Fulton, published during the week, that he hadn't $20 In his pocket with which to assist "Rev. Father" Sherman, whom he had taken under his protection. Dr. Fulton was married several years ago to the wealthy widow of one of his departed deacons, and it was generally supposed that he was comfortably supplied with this world's goods.

The secret of long life has once again been discovered, this time In Flanders; and. if we read aright the meaning of the announcement now made, there Is nothing to prevent any qne from be coming a centenarian, provided he will do as he Is told by the erudite Sr. Barggraove, who professes physic in the University of Ghent. Not only does tho Flemish professor proclaim long life to be a thing attainable in certain circumstances, but he offers it at a rate so cheap that to any one ambitious of outliving his welcome in the world it would be the veriest folly not to accept the gift The medicine is not protected by a patent, though the fortu nate proprietor might, by selling what most men wish to buy, have grown rich beyond the dreams of avarice. It Is no elixir ot life, no Cagllostro'g drops, no fountain of perpetual youth, such as that which Ponce de Leon sought In Florida aud Sir John Mandevllle drank of on the shores of Malabar, albeit he died of arthritic gout, the miraculous draught notwithstanding.

Dr. Barggraevo's medicine is nothing more recondite than common salt Fat salt In sufficient quantity, and. so far as years are concerned, there Is nothing to prevent any one from becoming a Sir Moses Moutofloro or an Old Parr, or even from reaching the ago of Thomas Damme, who Is said to have died at 154, or of Peter Torton. who declared, though he did not produce a parish register, that he was close on 184 the year before he made up his mind to go over to the majority. Salt, the Ghentlsh doctor afllrms, Is the great poua cea for every 111 that flesh is heir to.

Uood health, it is his opinion, Is not a matter of chance or constitution; the laws which regulate human llfeare very simple; all that we have to do is to take care that they shall develop themselves without obstruction. Salt will enable them to do this. If the blood Ib too rich salt will purify It. If the blood Is too poor salt will thicken It Culprits who have been punished by being compelled to eat unsalted bread have almost Invariably died. The want of salt caused the outbreak of a terrible epidemic In Saxony, and Russian peasants, when threatened by tho plague, have saved themselves by putting salt In their milk.

Cholera will floo before salt Consumption can be mastered by It Old age is comparatively powerless in the face of two thirds of an ounce of sodium chloride a day. Therefore, be Invites all to swallow this frugal physic, and, If not tired of tho world at three score and ten, go on llvlug until centenarians are as common as fools, and insurance companies are threatened with Insolvency by annuitants who continue on tho funds to an age for which the ac tuaries of the past have made no provision. ion don Standard.
