Political mass-meetings in the South seldom make votes, but they frequently make broken heads and dead niggers." The Paris affair was such-a happy exception to the rule that the practice of speaking and fighting on platforms built after the Para plan cannot -too highly commended to hot-headed Southern politicians. KM: cratic politicians were in the fudges' stand. The first prise was given to the Penn Yan company, although the Brant Hose, which was given the second prize, always claimed that it was ruled out because its members did not vote in this State, When Elliot Danforth wasrunning for State Treasurer last fall there came from his office in Albany a large number of pasters and a letter addressed-to Ellsworth Hose Company of Penn Yan, asking its members to vote for Danforth. The express plea was put forth that these firemen should support Danforth because he was one-of the judges that gave them the Cortland prizel 1 TV Tbn Ilnndnnmout Theater in Buffalo MATINEE WBDSBSDAT KD SATUKDAT OSXT.

V. P. Courteously certifying that 'Tub Excess's query is simply idiotic," the Commercial kindly explains: The Express refers to the Commercial's hint that it is the duty of the New-York Republicans not to run a ticket of their own, bur to unite with the Citizen's Reform movement in a supreme effort to break the power of Tam many Hall and elect a reform Mayor. If they had a fair Chance of electing their own candidates they-would nominate and support their own straight ticket, just as the Republicans of 1 Buffalo with similar pros- pects will continue to do for many ye'ars to come. The one duty of Republicans of Baoalo, who constitute a' majority of the voting population, is cot to abandon their party, organisation, or dissipate their strength, but to concentrate all their effort ia securing the of honest and capable candidates." Ah, yes; but when they don't nominate "honest and capable And when they have not "a fair chance of electing their own That is, when the managers nominate candidates who can't be elected? As last fall, in Buffalo, for instance? The Exfress and thu Commercial together could not have elected James, lannicnaci.

ihe express wisely turned in and helped to elect the good man whom the Democrats nominated. Does the Commercial acknowledge now that The Express did right? And what was the duty in these premises of other loyal, thinking Republicans? i There are other Express questions which the Commercial has dot. answered yet These, fur example: "What have politics to do with municipal, business at any time or hi any place? Why should party lines be drawn where. tho only issue is between tut honest taxpayer -and rapacious tax- eaterP' "A FOOLISH KNIGHT vuuci mo unu ui -1 ui, jtuiguts nave Long Memories," the Courier prints the following letter am flad to see your paper treats as Knights of Labor so fairly.

But Thb Express never appealed to voters by occupation, religion or secret-society connection," and is never likely to do so un-American a thing! But if The Express's appeal were a proper one, if the political cause it represented were just, if its argument were sound, would Knights of Labor reject the appeal, the cause, the argument merely because The Express had never kissed Pope great toe The Courier's correspondent brings, by implication, a serious indictment Against the good sense of his yoke-fellows. WORKING THE MACHINE.

No organization of whatsoever name or nature that has a vote escapes the eagle eyes of David Hill and his henchmen. The attempt of the Governor to obtain control of the State Agricultural Society has not been forgotten, Tho meeting of the State Firemen's Association at Watertown this week brings to light another instance of the Governor's peanut politics" George W. Irish of Caxenovia, president of the association, was accused last fall of attempting to turn the influence of the firemen to crah'c candidate for State Treasurer. Mr. Irish asked for an- investigation, and be was found "guilty of trying to turn the as- Irish has been rewarded for his efforts with the position of chief bookkeeper in the State Treasurer's office.

Gov. Hill was so chagrined by the firemen1 action that "be' did not ittend'the Watertown parade, as advertised, but doubtless he thinks that such a little thing will soon be forgotten by the people. The in'cident is only worth attention as another instance of the lack of dignity which characterizes Gov. Hill, and of the ward-heeler methods by which he gains' his ends. rover Cleveland is not above bidding for Votes, hot it is impossible to imagine him receiving the official censure of a non-partisan body of men so respectable as the volunteer firemen of New-York, I Much less can we imagine William H.

Seward, Horatio Seymour, or Edwin D. Morgan rewarding with high position a heeler for betraying the organization of which he was the head. i Elliot. Danforth is an apt disciple of David B. Hill, but the high position which be fill should have restrained him from emulating the political methods of his master.

The Firemen's Convention was held at Cortland two years ago and there was, as usual, a close contest among the crack companies for the two hundred dollar prue given to the best-drilled organisation, Citisen's Hose of Olcan, Ellsworth Hose of Penn Yan, and Brant Hose of Brantiord, Ont, were among the competitors.

There's no patent on selling good shoes, and we don't pretend to have a 'monopoly of the business. There are several other first-class shoe dealers in Buffalo perhaps two or three at most the hulk of the shoes sold are not what they should be or might be.

The reason oi it is easy to find. There is less actual percentage of profit in really' good shoes than in the poorer sort because good leather, good make, good shape and finish cost more than poor, while the poor are made to look so like the good that even the best maker must keep the possible comparison in view. Thus the temptation to do indifferent work. There's more quick profit in it, and it's only in the long run that the less showy and more substantial win. We're in the trade for a lifetime.

We are doing our work faithfully. Reaping now neither much greatness nor profit but we expect to reap bountifully in the years to come. Price is not exclusive. We daren't tell you how really little the finest costs. But we'll say this we sell, when people know the prices.

On small lots left of summer styles there are much lower prices. Barnes, Hemrer Co. OFFICES For Insurance. or Commission Men. Convenient to Board of Trade 85 and 87 Pearl St.

fJlA 4 PARADE HOUSF. a I ADULTERATING MILK. One of the principal difficulties connected with the' furnishing of milk to cities is that of keeping the milk sweet, when shipped considerable-1" distances, until it reach the consumer. T-horough cooling of the milk, almost down to the freezing-pointj is the method usually followed. If the, milk is "kept at this low temperature until delivered it will remain sweet and, of wholesome.

But this year there is a general scarcity' of ice, and few farmers have wells or springs the water of which is below 40 in temperature wherewith to" cool the cans ot milk. Then, even if it can be cooled, at gets warm before it reaches the city, on account of the want of ice, The farmers and milk-dealers in the neighborhood' of New-York, Brooklyn, and probably ether cities have resorted to chemicals, which, are put into the milk to keep it sweet Antiseptics of several kinds are used to milk so; that it can be shipped from distant points to the city without becoming sour. A very prominent dairy paper at the West has gone so fat as to recommend the use of preservaline in milk, as sure to keep it sweet for several days and still leave it wholesome, as an artiqle of food for children and 'invalids. This preservaline has been analyxed and found to be composed mostly of a preparation of borax. The chemicals used near New-York are mainly borax or some other salt of boracic acid, acid, or benzoic acid, or their salts in some form.

Borax, saltpeter or carbonate of soda are sold under a variety of names, and there 'are nearly av -dozen of these compounds now advertised and sold for this The preservaline is most common at tho West because of its recommendation by the dairy paper mentioned. These compounds 'are asserted to have ihe power to keep the milk from becoming sour for from five to seven days without the use of ice and at much less cost- That any dairyman or dairy paper should recommend mixing such dangerous substances in human food is inexplicable, except on the supposition that the editor and proprietofls directly interested peeoaiafily in the manufacture and sale of the so-called preservaline. Fortunately for the good health of the peoples of this State, our Dairy Commissioner has taken the matter up, and has begun proceedings against a number of milk-dealers in New-York and Brooklyn. Samples of the milk have been analyzed by Dr. Clark, the chief chemist ef the Dairy Department, by Profs.

Love, Stillwell, JJladding, and. Gcissier, and by several eminent physicians, and all agree that such milk is dangerous if used permanently as an article of food. The Commissioner consulted the Attorney-General, who gave bis opinion that the State Dairy Law was violated by thus adulterating milk. Assistant-Commissioner Van Valkenburgh proposes to take extreme measures every case where it is found that antiseptics have been used, and will bring both civil and criminal suits' against those who thus endanger the health of the children of the cities for the purpose of gain to themselves. A violation of the dairy laws is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $25 or more than $200, or by imprisonment for not less than one monthormore than six months, 'w-'-by' both.

This is for the first For each subsequent offense the penalty is six-months' imprisonment Ia the civil actions which the Commissioner is also empowered to bring he can recover 100 for every violation of the law. -Every assistant commissioner has been instructed to watch for such palpable violation of the law and to bring suits in every case. The evil is becoming extensive and the danger to health great Pure milk is an absolute necessity. Tbere is grave danger ia gravity railroads.

share of their attention." The AN IMPUDENT FRA UD. For a long time The Express's opinion of the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration (then the Board of Arbitration) was hot openly shared by any of its esteemed contemporaries. Now they are all in line against the picturesque old fraud, and the trade's unions, for whose supposed benefit the Board was created, have come to share the general public's hearty contempt for this useless body. Its conduct during the present crisis has been the last straw. On the second day of its official existence the Board began deliberately to violate the law which called it into being, and continued to do so, until the as a reward, prolonged its term, increased its compensation," and gave it the extraordinary powers it asked.

We do not recall one strike which the Board has really settled since it began business. But it continues to draw its salaries, and to act as an obstacle to the adoption of a sensible, practicable, but alas inexpensive arbitration law. A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. The campaign of education is to be repeated. Arrangements have been made for a series of political meetings af the country fairs in New-York this falL From Harlem Bridge to Suspension Bridge the beauties of Free Trade and the virtues of the Stuffed Prophet will be lauded, while the iniquities of the ifcKinley bill, the folly of Blaine's Reciprocity plan, and the total depravity of Protection will be told to the hard-hand ed sons of toil by the followers of Grover Cleveland.

The Brooklyn Times says that Mark D. Wilbur, former United States District Attorney, and Thomas G. Shearman, the tearful admirer of smuggling, will be the chief Democratic speakers. Able Republicans will answer the arguments of the-Free-Traders, The campaign of -1892 will be "fairly opened when Mr. Wilbur gets among the grangers in Wyoming, Schuyler, and Cayuga counties and Tom Shearman orates before the plow-pushers of Tompkins and Allegany.

The statesmen who are thus moved to enlighten the benighted farmers are doing a good work for tho Republican party. Republican leaders should put no obstacles in their way, but bid them welcome to the fairs where the big cattle flourish and the prise hog is found in all his glory. Let them be incited incidentally to make converts in the Democratic party to help Grover Cleveland secure the nomina tion in 1892. Cleveland's nomination means the inevitable defeat of his party, and the more vigorous the Cleveland campaign the better for Republicans. When Grover Cleveland rode his hobby before it changed the Democratic plurality of 1,200 inte a Republican plurality of 12,.

The hard-headed farmers of New-York are not to be caught with Free-trade chaff, and- if these country-fair orators will continue their campaign until 1892 all fears of Republican defeat will vanish. A GOOD SOUTHERN PLATFORM. The politics of Arkansas is of the red-hot kind. In the greater portion of.

the State the machine is so well oiled that it turns out overwhelming Democratic majorities to or der, There are a few obstreperous Repub licans left in spots which cause the Democratic leaders some annoyance now and then. Paris is one of the towns where Re publicanism still a free-for-all mass-meeting was held there one day this week. Democrats, Republicans, and Union Labor men participated. A Democratic speaker "named Fishback opened the floodgates of oratory and had ouly begun to launch forth on the iniquities tM.IGt&nJtii I artit bill, ana tne pure cussedaess ot the Republican party when a wicked' Repub- licaa began to interrupt him. When orator rishback said that "the Tariff is a tax" the Republican put some troublesome tions about the cost of steel rails, wire nails, and other trivial details which the true Free-trade orator scorns to bother with.

The Republican's 'questions finally became so impertinent that Mr. Fisbbaek considered himself insulted. What had the price of wife nails and steel rails to do with the great questions of the hour which thJolj, and burn in Arkansas politics The Tariff was a tax anyway, and he knew it, spite of the fool facts that the Republican imerrupter fired at ham. Finally he got so hot that. he boiled He called the Republican a fool with several qualifying adjectives which -do not look well in print, but which an Arkansas man most use in order to do justice to any subject The fight was then on and a wild rush was made for the platform.

Knives were drawn and a desperate battle seemed imminent, when the entire platform gavs way and pitched the fighters Democrats, Republicans, and Union men to the ground.
