A Protest Against Passivism.

II Is not progress and growth for the party
which Is the inspiring motive of the passive
proposition, so much as II is q gambling fond
ness Tor change, tradicking attachment to
both the party and IFS great principles, and
nmid and confused calculation of chances that
pays Tar more regard to the personal profit
than the popular advantage. Any politician
OF ordinary penetration must understand that
negative position for a great party is sure
disintsgration and death. Defeat outright
could notbring on the catastrophe SO suddenly.
IL would be general disbanding without even
the usual condition Of external compulsion.-
whether weakness or treachery, false judg-
ment or cool design, the result would be no
less thorough and complete. Genuine, pro.
gressive Democrats, determined on an expan-
son OF the party doctrines and meth DDS to the
utmost limits Of liberalism, but resolved to
protect their faith as their only footing in the
general confusion, honestly believe that the
liberal element Of Republication can be
brought into cooperative position without
making this confession that they must hide
their principles In order to vindicate them.-
SuPposing the proposed scheme Of passiyism
to be possible Of success, It still remains TO be
shown In what way the Democratic creed has
been libcralized, or what new guarantee of its
operation In the Government II will have re-
ceived. To win a triumph for a cause BY re-
fusing to mention the cause, is so idle as
proposition us not to make 1t necessary to at
tempt II as an experiment

ton, aud was brought to England about
the year 1905, by John Lofting, who
commenced its manufacture at Isling-
ton, near London, aud pursued it with
great profit and success. Formerly
iron and brass were used, but latterly
steel, silver and gold have taken their
places. In the ordinary manufacture,
thin plates Of metal are introduced into
a die, aud then punched iuto shape. In
Paris gold thimbles are manufactured
to large extent. Thin sheets Of sheet
iron are cut into dies Of about two inches
diameter. These being heated red hot,
are struck with a punch into number
of holes, gradually increasing in depth
to give them proper shape.
The thimble is then trimmed, polish
ed, and indented around its outer sur.
face with number Of little holes, by
means Of small wheel. 1t is then
converted into steel BY cementation
process, tempered, secured, and brought
to blue color. A thin sheet of gold
is then introduced into the interior, and
fastened to the steel by means of a pol
ished steel mandril. Gold leaf is then
applied to the outside, aud attached to
it BY pressure, the edges being fastened
10 a small groove made to receive them.
The thimble is thcu ready for use,
Those made in this manner do not wear
out, as so many ordinary gold thimbles
do, but will last for years. The gold
coating, if cut away by needles, may be
easily replaced, but the steel is of an
excellent quality and is very durable.

BY scattered rocks and turbid waters shifting,
BY furrowed gladed dell
To feverish men, thy calm, sweet face uplifting,
Thou stsyest them 70 tell
The delicate thought that cannot find express

For ruder speech too fair,
That like thy petals, trembles In possession,
And scatters on the air.
The miner pauses In his rugged labor,
And leaning on his spade,
Laughingly calls to his oomrade-neigh ghbor,
To see thy charms displayed.
But in his eyes mist unwanted rises,
And for a moment clear,
Some sweet home face his foolish thought sur
prises,
And passes In tear.
Some boyish vision Of an Eastern village
or uneventful toll,
Where golden harvests followed quiet tillage,
Above peaceful soil.
One moment only, for the pick uplifting
Through root and fibre cleayes,
And on the muddy current slowly drifting,
Are swept thy bruised leaves.
