and he thinks that 1t may DO necessary
to have an extra engine in each station
in cities to DO prepared for accidents.
II the first engine should break down.
the second one could DO used to feed the
lights. Country towns, with the use of
the electric generating machines, could
be lighted by water.power. Any power
could be used, provided it was strong
enough to turn the shaft of the machine
with the necessary rapidity.
The professor then exhibited an cleo.
trio generating machine. 1t was what is
known as the Wallace machine. A knot
of magnets ran around the cylinder, fac
ing each other, and wires were attached
to it. Mr.. Edison slipped belt over
the machine, and the engine used in his
mandatory began to turn tho cylinder.
He touched the point of the wire on u
small piece of metal near the window
casing, and there was flash Of binding
white light. 1t was repeated at each
touch. "There is your steam power
turned into III electric light" he said.
There was the light, clear, cold and
beautiful. The intense brightness was
gone, and there was nothing irritating
to the eye. The mechanism was so sim
pie and perfect that it explained itself.
The strip Of platinum that acted rs n
burner did not burn. It was incande-
cent. 1t threw off light pure and white,
and it was set in gallows-like frame !;
but it glowed with the phosphorescent
etfulgence of the star Affair. You could
trace the veins in your hands and the
spots and lines upon your finger-nails
by its brightness. All the surplus cleo
tricity had been turned off, and the pla-
tinum shone with q mellow radiance
through the small glass globe that sur
rounded it. A turn of the screw and its
brightness became dazzling, and reduc-
ed itself to the faintest glimmer of a
glow-worm. 1t seemed perfect.

child breads the fire. The public may
not know, but do know, that if Q de-
scription of this invention reached Ger
many, Austria, and other counties i'll
Europe before patent is obtained, none

Stand Or Fall By Your Own oolors.

One of the political lessons most forcibly
taught in the recent campaign, is, that
principle should never be made subservient
to policy. Throughout the length and
breadth Of the country, in various con-
grcssiOnal districts, both parties, in mis-
taken policy, for the hope of temporary
advantage, subOrdiuated honesty and prin-
ciple to policy, and defeat sure and over
whelming resulted
We have no sympathy for those defeat
cd Democrats who, for the vain hope of
success, cut loose from their time houored
principles and embraced false doctrines,
which for the time seemed destined to win,
nor have we any regrets at the defeat of
candidates foisted upon the party by rings
and wire-pullers against the wishes of the
voters.
Right will sooner or later prevail, and
no party should break ranks and either en-
dOrse or vote for any one but their own
party. Whenever that is done, defeat and
Generalization inevitably follow. As to
the Republican party, they can follow their
own ideas; but to the Democrats we say
let US learn wisdom by experience. Never
desert your principles or your own men for
strange doctrines or quasi Democrats. 1t
were better to be defeated upholding your
own principles under your own leader, than
be successful endorsing false doctrines un-
der false leader, with combination of
discontents of oil parties.

The result Of the elections this year in
October and November, will give the
Democrats two more majority in the next
House of Representatives than in the
present, and we viii have a good working
majority Of twenty-one. All the States
have elected Congressman except Califor-
MIA, which win elect her Representatives
next September. The delegation from
that State in the present Congress stands
two Democrats and two Republicans, and
should the result there next year be unfa-
vorable to the Democrats, which is not at
al probable, VIC shall still have nineteen
majority, as at present The New York
Herald and the Philadelphia Tines, indie
pendent Republican papers, both give the
Democrats over twenty majority in the
next House. The Baltimore American
comedies Democratic working majority.
The Baltimore Sun thinks the Democrats
win have about The same majority as in
the present Congress, while some Demo-
cratic papers clam that our majority viii
reach twenty-five Thus it is conceded
on all sides that the Democrats viii con-
troll the next House Of Representatives.
There win be eight Greenbackers in the
forty-sixth Congress, about equally divi-
ded between Democrats and Republicans,
and upon party measures may be expected
to vote with their respective parties.
The Democrats win also, for the first
time in many years, have control of
the Senate after the 4th Of March next
The changes to take place viii give US a
majority of nine, without including Sena-
tor Davis, who claims TO be an indepen-
dent.
Upon the whole, the Democrats can well
rest satisfied with the results of the cleo
tions Of 1873, which ensures them good
working majorities in both Houses of Con-
gress. The Republicans, in gaining ma
jority of members in Connecticut, Colora-
do and New jersey. may enjoy the salts
faction and take what comfort they can,
but the Democrats, in gaining Florida and
South Carolina, and gaining in Ohio, Ten
nessee, Missouri, Iowa, Louisiana, North
Carolina, Oregon and Indiana, together
with obtaining control of the Senate, have
cause for rejoicing at their success and
triumph.

Unols Sam Must Pay.


The Pail Nall Gazette thinks that with
nine millions of dollars of the Geneva
award unclaimed in the United States Treas
ury, it comes with bad grace from this
government to caviI at the payment of the
$500, 600 fishery award. We rather
lean to the same opinion. Il smacks too
much of the sharp Yankee to make a pre-
text Of the Newfoundland fishery squabble
for Withholding that money from England
Our government consented to and entered
into the fishery commission, and judgment
having been entered against us. we ought
TO pay up, and are in honor bound to do
so. Mr. Evarts, our Minister of State,
has taken an untenable position. Let the
fishery award be paid promptly on the 23d
Of November, when it is due, and if the
British Government cannot or will not
make its Canadian subjects respect their
treaty obligations towards us with regard
to the fisheries, we shall find 4 way to
compel them and to protect our own fish
ermen. Two wrongs never yet made a
right. When the French indemnity was
withheld from US, under Gen. Jackson's
administration, the old hero told Louis
Philippe, in diplomatic way, that he
must ''pay up or get licked" That was
the plain English of the communication,
and although the French government aud
people made considerable splutter over the
matter, the money was speedily forthcom-
ing. If Louis Philippe was wrong, and
such was the judgment of Tie world at the
time, Dir. Evarts cannot be right. Uncle
Sam is no repudiator, and so Mr.. Bull
must be paid.

Jack of Many Trades.

What say you, Brother Yanderford. If a
person IS perfect master of one trade. but.
N case one cannot get employment sufficient
70 support house, or, in other words. 10
pay expenses, keep out of debt and all that
sort OF thing, don't You think Jack should
lend helping hand in case of necessity .
don't You think half loaf better than no
breadT ! should like 10 hear your opinion
on this subject. i.
In the absence of the editor who usual
~ answers communications of inquiry the
junior editor will endeavor to enlighten
the inquirer, although he does not clearly
understand the interrogntories. Now, un.
less the house to be supported is a very
small one, or the person expected to sup
port it Is an Atlas, who bore the world on
his shoulders, or a Sampson, who pulled
down large temple, he would have suf-
fcient employment.
As to lending helping hand, it de-
ponds greatly upon how the helping
hand is to be used. IF Jack is to lend
helping hand to your poultry coop, and
help himself to your fattening Thauksgiv-
ing dinner, or help himself to meat and
other provisions from your storehousc, he
should keep his hands to himself.
Whether half loaf is better than no
bread depends, we suppose, upon the kind
of loaf. Half loaf of sugar would
scarcely be substitute for bread, and if
Jack is compelled to loaf, in consequence
of lack of employment, he should have
a good loaf, not half one. For corner
loaf, the goods boxes should be such as
would support him with comfort If a
tree box is to be used, it should be firmly
set so as not to cause him iroabla. If
the weather is too cold. FOX u street leaf,
the chairs around, stoves in hotels and
stores should be streng and easy ones so
Jack could. enjoy his loaf.

Federal Interference with State Elections.

In the city of New York, John Dayen-
port, the U. S. Supervisor of Elections,
had arrested 300 voters as early as IL
o'clock, a. m. In Baltimore the U. S.
Courthouse was thronged all day with
Marshals bringing their prisoners before
Commissioners Bond and Rogers. Among
them were several Democratic Judges Of
the Election. A number of Deputy Mar
shals were also arrested by the Police, for
drunkenness, disorder, aud obstructing the
polls. One of the Marshals was shot.
Congress ought to repeal the law author
izing such interference in elections. 1t
is measure of Republican tyranny, and

A telegram from Indianapolis reports that
George Hazard, the defaulting President of
the First National Bank of Auburn, Ind,
went to Logansport on Thursday, October 81 !,
to procure papers held by two endorsers on
one of his notes. They refused to give up the
papers until certain money was paid. Haz-
Zard thereupon had them arrested on a charge
of larceny, but it failed. He then offered to
pay, and counted the money on a table along
side of the desired paper. Before the ex-
change could be made, Hazard grabbed both
money and papers, and with friend, both
drawing revolYers, escaped from the room
Hazard was subsequently, arrested for rob-
berry and lodged in jail. Soon after midnight,
fourpersons went to the Jail, signed bond for
his release, and he was set free. On getting
outside he was seized, thrown into an omnibus
and hurried away. He cried for help, and
the police rescued him and took him back to
Jail. Saturday, other bondsmen appeared
with an acceptable bond, but upon claiming
the custody of the detaulter, officers from
Auburn asserted their right to arrest him and
take him away. Hazard fearing TO return to
Auburn, lest he should be lynched, the Sher-
if at Logansport, as precautionary measure,
again took him into custody. James Haz
zard, cashier of the bank, being in Logans-
port on Thursday to look after his brother 5
interest, was arrested forgery.
