STOP PILLAGR OFPUBLIC MoN£l.
City Government Jis Business—Taxes
Must Be Trimmed—Schools For Chil
dren—What He Says.
In an interview in the New York
Journal Van Wyck says:
‘ The election is over, the polls are
closed, the ballots counted, the Dem
ocracy have been victorious and I am,
I learn, by popular choice, the mayor
to-be of the city of Greater New York.
* ‘At the Outset I want to call the
general eye again to the democratic
platform and to my letter of accept
ance. By these I stand. Those prin
ciples therein set forth I will do my
utmost to foster—the promises to the
last letter I will keep.
• ‘As we begin this first year of Great
er New York there is much to do.
Liberty must be restored to the citi
zen, the protection of his rights must
be resumed, the pillage of public
money must cease, extravagance must
be discontinued, waste must stop,
schools must be built, the streets
must be reclaimed from chaos, taxes
brought to a proper level. Private
interest has too long governed this
city; it must give way to public good.
“The government of a city, as I un
derstand it, has naught of sentiment
about it. It is the merest business.
We must get the moot good for the
least money. No man must be op
pressed; his life and property must be
protected, the broad purposes of city
government must be carried out, the
greatest good to the greatest number
must ever be the star to steer by.
“City government is the merest
business, and to make it successful and
to reach.the end at which we aim all
the officers of the city, whether they
be mayor, judges, police or what you
will, must serve the city, not rule it.
The people must rule; the officials
must execute the people's orders. To
make the business of city government
a triumph to the citizen it is further
needed that every officer, however
high or however low, must be honest
and fit. He must know his duties, he
must bring probity and faith and
honor forward in their discharge.
“We are overtaxed. This must be
looked to and thejtaxes trimmed down.
When ever city need is met, of the
comforts and the luxuries we will get
what we can.
“There is nothing in the line of im
provement that can make this city
better to live in that the people are
not entitled to and do not want. The
New York public is not niggardly,not
parsimonious; it wants every benefit,
•very advantage, and is willing to pay
forthem. What the people do object
to is waste, extravagance and robbery.
“The efforts of trusts, of monopol
lies, of combinations,whether corpor
ate or private, to control trade, choke
competition and fleece the citizens by
false high prices will be withstood
and beaten down.
“Every child must have the right to
go to school. Nor shall the school
system cease of enlargement until
every possible pupil can find fullest
accommodations. 1
“To sucii rights the general benefits
as dollar gas have, in my letter of ac
ceptance, as Well as in the platform,
been pledged from the first. Those
@ Cupid breaks his
bow at the sight of
a face full of pim
ples and blotches.
Hollow cheeks,
sunken eyes, and a
sallow complexion
will defy his best
intentions. Beauty
is more than skin
deep. The skin is
merely the surface
on which is written
in plain characters
the condition of the
body. The skin is
not a thing by itself,
and skin diseases are frequently not skin
diseases at all. All the lotions and bleaches
and creams and powders in the world won’t
make a good complexion if the digestion is
wrong. If the stomach is sour, and the
liver torpid, and the bowels constipated,
the skip will show it. No use trving to
treat the skin for such a condition. The
only way to relieve it is to cleanse the sys
tem and purify the blood. As long as the
heart is pumping impurities to every part
of the body, just so long these impurities
will show through the skin.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
is good for the complexion because it
makes the whole body healthy—because it
clears and purifies the blood, makes the
digestion strong and clears out impurities
of all kinds. By increasing the ability to
assimilate nutritious food, and by the in
fusion of its own ingredients, it enriches
the blood and so makes solid, healthy flesh.
It fills out the hollows, rubs out'wrink
les and substitutes for sallowness a rosy,
healthy glow. There is no mystery about
it. It isn’t a miracle. It is merely the re
sult of a combination of rational, natural
common sense with expert medical knowl
edge. It cures diseases of the lungs, liver,
stomach, bowels, skin and scalp, simply
because all these diseases spring from the
same cause —a disordered digestion and
consequent impure blood. Don’t let preju
dice and scepticism eheat you out of your
health. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will positively cure you, if suffering
from diseases named above.

“ I have had a complication of ailments
for the past twenty years, and during
that time had six doctors and tried In

promises are to be carried out.
“As to such public outrages as flour
ished under the Raines law, with the
spying and sneaking and mendacity
that under it grew up I cannot add a
syllable .to what I have already said.
The crimes against the people must
disappear; these encroachments upon
individual liberty and private rights
must end. These are not the middle
ages, nor is the ' city of Greater New
York Venice in the days of the Doges.
A city must have a city government;
it can not be controlled by village
rules or run on village lines. The
sooner some folks come out of their
dreams and realize these facts, the
wiser, better, happier folk they’ll be.
“The eight-hour haw.should be en
forced, and, where practicable, resi
dent labor should be directly employ
ed. In all cases the prevailing race
of wages should be paid.
“As to the men I shall call to fill of
flee under me, I will be frank and
plain. ‘Put none but democrats on
guard’ shall be the motto of my ad
ministration. Fitness and honesty
and worth as a citizen shall make up
my first demand in selecting a man
for an office. The man I appoint to
office must erwn this trio of requisites.
I must have proof that the public is to
be honestly, faithfully, efficiently
served, and that no call of duty on
the part of an official is to be denied
I must know that the man 1 name
will do his whole, full duty to this
city.
“But to find such a man for every
place of appointment under me I need
not leave the traces of the city, and I
will not.
“That is my notion of city govern
ment, and by that idea I will guide, I
do not do this on any, to the victor be
longs the spoils of the enemy’ senti
ment. This proposal of good govern
ment is according to the. expressed
will of the people. The latter have
declared for the democracy' Ido not
understand the policy of justice of
going to the enemy to select your of
ficers.
“While I shall call none but Demo
crats to place of trust and power in
the carrying forward of the cities .this
administration is not to become in any
sort partisan. In my doing my full
duty to the public in that behalf nei
ther I nor those over whom by my of
fice I have control will know any dif
ference of race, color, creed or poli
tics. As all share the burdens, so,
too. shall all share the benefits and
find even equal protection under the
law.’’
TRUE LOYALTY.
A Writer in the Albany Penny Press
Speaks of the Death of Von Gammon.
Sadness reigns in the heart of every
University student, and in the heart of
every Athenian, for the loss of young
Von Gammon, whose death-knell was
sounded in the Virginia-Georgia football
game about a week ago, says a writer in
last Sunday’s issue of the Albany Penny
Press.
Never was loyalty so beautifully ex
hibited as was when the ’Varsity team
disbanded. So great was their devotion
to their comrade that the team declared
never to play again. All enthusiasm for
football at the University is dead, and
this untimely death will cause many
lovers of the sport to leave forever the
fields of so brutal a game as football.
Perhaps, after all, his death may be a
vicarious one. in this, that many homes
may be spared the loss of loved ones.
Many hearts ache for the sorrowing
relatives of this manly young fellow. ’Tis
sad to think of so young a boy as Von
Gammon leaving when his .life work had
just commenced. “His soul to Him who
gave It rose.”

4 Merry Party of »6 Spend a Delightful
. Day on Book Mountain.
For two or three weeks several families
down the river have bad in contemplation
a chestnut hunt on Rock mountain in
Texas Valley, So early last Saturday
morning Mr. John Weathers rigged up a
foui horse outfit, resepabling an oM
fashioned mail coach, and made a dash
for Texas Valley, carrying his entire
family, except Mrs. Weathers and
Miss Amanda, his sister. In the parly
were Miss Lillian Rice, daughter of our
big-hearted Judge John H. Rice and
little Miss Berryhill, daughter of our
friend R. W. Berryhill.
Well, the children were very much
elated over the trip, and long before day
J. E. Camp’s children were up and the
good cook had breakfast before day. So
as soon as we could see how to drive,
we were off for Rock mountain. Mr.
Camp’s entire family and Miss Mary
Shelton, then governess, a beautiful and
accomplished young lady and your cor
respondent to bring up the rear.
Then Mr. T. R. Evans with his entire
family and Miss Annie Saxton which
made up our ompany, in all 26 persons.
After a drive of 10 miles over Lavender
mountain at Fouche’s gap we arrived at
a very fine spring on Mr, John Weathers’
farm at the foot of Rock mountain,
where we stopped an<j left oui buggies.
About 10 o’clock the good ladies spread
an excellent dinner consisting of boiled
ham, chicken, pies, cake and jellies.
After a hearty dinner, we started to
ascend the mountain. There was no road,
so we went up and up tor half mile or
more, coming to a ledge of gray sand
stand perpendicular from 50 to 200 feet.
After some delay we landed on the first
bench, which is somewhat broken, but
good l«nd and finely timbered with oak,
hickory and chestnut.
So after spending several hours
gathering chestnuts, Mr. Weathers
our guide, took us to a fine mineral
spring. After quenching our thirst
we started again for the top of the
mountain which was nearly half a
mile; again at ’"the top we found a
bluff of rock still mightier than the
other. It was anywhere from 50 to
250 feet high.
We found an entrance into the rock
about as large as a common door run
ning back in the mountain about 25
or 30 feet, then up 10 or 15 feet we
were on top of the mountain. There
is the finest scenery in all the world,
and worth several trips to see it.
We found chestnuts in plenty and
more scaly bark hickory nuts than we
could gather. After.spending several
hours gathering chestnuts, [we made
our way down to our buggies.
We got to them about 3 o’clock p,
m and the good ladies spread dinner
again. Two dinners in one day,
which must be attributed to the
great democratic victory in New York
and large gains everywhere else.
After another hearty dinner we
started for heme happy and tired.
May everyone of the party live go
again to Reck Mountain to gather
chestnuts. *. H. H. R.
