NO DOl'HT the entlie country
Wishes the fl lends of decent
government for tlrealer New

probable that they will aggressively
follow tho lead which they have struck
and keep the tiger upon the run for a
season. Hut whether they will he able
to break the hold of tho giant organi
zation upon the city remains to he
seen.
As the Washington Star jeinavks:
"Tammany's tips and downs nfford an
Interesting study. The tiger Is a gam
bler, and therefore meets fortune In nit
moods with tho gambler's spirit. If
fortune, smiles, Tammany makes hay
while the warmth continues. Its stocks
were never higher than now. If fortune
frowns, Tammany shrugs its shoulders,
but Ib patient. It never despairs. It
never relaxes Its vigilance. It bides
Its time. It acts upon the theory
well established In Us history that
the public's condcmnatlop will pass.and
that the enemies of today may be the
allies of tomorrow. So that If Tam
many, for 'Its latest offenses, should be
scourged at the polls this fall, we shall
witness Tammany taking the lash
philosophically, and keeping up heittt
for next year and IflOi. It will tenson,
with good nuthoilty, that, as tin back
bone of the New Yolk Democracy, with
out whose assistance Democratic suc
cess In state and national laces H Im
possible, it will fare differently then.
The scourged of this day Will be the
coddled of that day, and when tho
coddling begins, Tamtnmiy will decide
Just how far It Is to In carried,
"This explains Tammany's hold upon
affairs nt home. It Is lu politics for
revenue only; and If denied tevenue at
one time it is reasonably sure of It nt
another. Then are many men In
(lientep New York who will assist In
the elfoit to dtlvo Tammany out of
power this year who will then H1111

Tammany fop stale advantages next

And if Tammany demands control of

because, accoidlng to their point of

was cx-peiideil on the strut ture. Now,
right hue. h t me cnnllde to you that
It wasn't, only about half of It went
Into that building. .lust think- of It.
Isn't that awful'.' The other half? oh.

Hlnueis who is Homing aiouud 111 a
steam yacht bought with that money.
You si e. It's this way. The gioiinds
hail to have considerable money spent
011 guiding ami beautifying. Th" site
Is one of the IHiest III the entile ex
position, ami when the loiiimls.slou se
lected It eveiy number was distinctly
phased, l.ntir when the building was
to In begun, they found that some
restaurant keeper had jumped their
ilalm. so to speak, ami tho exposition
management oiteicd auothep site as a
way out of the dilemma. The lociuioiii
was so tciunlc, liowcvep, that they re
fused It anil decided to light the res
tuuiant man's right lo the ground. They
woii tho battle, but In the meantime,
while they were thus engaged, the ene
my sowed lares, op In othep words,
the Muccahces put up a pleasant little
hive on one side of the plot. Ah a
consequenco the I'eiinsylvniila build
ing was curtailed as to Its verandaH
about five feet, and has a. sort of annex
a very ornate building labelled ".Macca
bees," whntever they may bo. They
seem to ho very charming people, who
hum plcnsuntly on their porches, ns
some members of tho order, both mas
culine and feminine, ato always there.
As to thu furnlturo of tho 1'cnnayl
vanla building, It Is of a very plain
order; prairie grass matting, porch
chairs, rockers and otherwise no frills,
no luxury. Hut It Is, without excep
tion, the most home-like and comfort

der. I1V0II, the furniture didn't cost so
much, but the expenses of running the
place an heavy. The elect! lo light bill
Is heavy, and there me four salalled
oillclals who me kept busy during the
day. The chief In charge Is Mr. (leoige
llrltllth, of West Chester. There Is a
secretary, a Janitor and a maid, a
lellned iiiiailrooii woman, who makes
It very coinfortnble for lady
and mlnisteis to their wants
vMtois
with a
pleasant gracious ness.
Indeed, plain and unostentatious ns Is
the Pennsylvania building at the Pan
American, It Is far mote comfortable
and home-like to the guests from our
state than was the elegantly lilted up
mansion nt the AVorld's Fair, where
the woman wen-led to the point of ex--li.Ulstion
dated not even lounge hack
on one of the sumptuous lolonlal
clinches lu the drawlng-iooius lest the
line ladv in chat go tlv her with a
glittering rye. and ruthlessly chase her
off. The Pennsylvania building Is
about the only plm e on tin gioiinds
where a tiled woman can lie down and
list for a few minutes, unless she
Clio to be picked up by the auto lllllbll
lance mid carried to the hospital down
near the West Amherst gate. There
Is
is a private room for women In our
iiulldlug, furnished in tattaii. and there
is always one urea representative on
the lounge.
So our J.iri.nnti is going for comfott
ami conveniences nnd not tor show; so
pli use don't let us hear nnv more lam

and the wonder us to whole the money
