Tle World for 1880.

Democrats everywhere should inform them
selves carefully alike Of the action Of their par
" throughout the country aad Of the move
ments Of their Republican opponents A fsil-
ure 20 do this in 1875 contributed greatly te the
loss by the Democracy Of The fruits Of the vieto-
~ fairly won at the polls.
The year 1880 promises 70 be ore oftbe most
interesting and important years Of this crowded
and eventual century. IL will witness a Presi-
Dental election which may result In re-estab-
fishing the Government of this country ON the
principles Of iis constitutional founders, or in
permanently changing the relations Of these
States 90 the Federal power. No intelligent man
can regard such an election with indifference.
The World, - the only daily English newspa-
per published in the city Of New York which up
holds the doctrines Of constitutional Democracy,
will steadily represent the Democratic party in
this great canvass. II viii DO this in no spirit
Of servile pariizanship, but temperairly and
firmly. As newspaper The World, being The
organ Of no man, no clique and no interest, will
present the fullest and the aircsi picture II can
make Of each days passing history Ia the city,
the State, the country and the world. II viii
aim hereafter as heretofore, at accuracy first Of
all things in all that II publishes. No man, how
ever humble, shall ever be permitted truly 10
complain that he has been unjusty dealt with
In the columns ofThe World. No interest how
ever powerful, shall ever be permitted truly TO
boast that IL can silence the fair criticism Of The
World.
During the past year The World has seen its
daily circulation trebled aud its weekly circula-
ton pushed far beyond that Of any other weekly
newspaper In .he country. This great Increase
has been won, as The World believes, by truth
fuiness, enterprise, eeaseleSs activity In collect
ing news and unfalieriRR loyalty TO itself and 10
It's readers im dealing With the questions &C the
day. IL u our hope and IL win be our endeavos
that The Worlds record for 1880 may be writ

The Chicago Journal prints a leading

nity," in which it seeks to arraign the
Democratic minority In the Senate on the
charge of vacillation, and non-ap appreciation
of the gravity of the position in the New

ly decided. Will the Journal be kind
enough to explain wherein lies the gravity,
from Democratic standpoint, of person
al quarrel between the administration and
the senatorial exquisite from the Empire
State? The Democrats have no hand in
personal administration quarrels, but look
to the welfare of the country and urge for
ward the wheels of government. rather
than clog them, as was being done by the
exquisite from New York and his clique.
If the Journal had retained the latter part
of it's article until the conclusion OF the
Potter Investigations, it would have shown
more good sense that it gave evil
dence of possessing by publish
ing it. Perhaps the Journal ap-
preciates the gravity of the Republican
situation, and desires to throw one more
brick before the investigation has demol.

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of theaprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
sOlidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. 10 JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
GASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from One-third to
one-half of the usual Gust OF solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature,
as follows:--A plate Of composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of SOLID GOLD sOldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip of heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels.
&c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
aud formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enamelng; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth By time and use
without removing the gold These cases
are tor sale by all jewelers., and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to

The Union of this morning has an arti-
Gle purportlug to show the advantages to
be gained by reorganization of the city
under the General Incorporation Act, but
1t makes an.unEortunate admission in con-
nection With it. The Union says it has
been requested, by men who have not
paid much attention to the matter so far,
to set forth the advantages, &c. Yet in
the face OF the fact that the majority of
the citizens were ignorant as to the pro.
visions Of the new order of things. as de-
sired by that paper and set forth in its
little petition, it endeavored to force its
project upon the people without giving
them time or opportunity to discuss the
matter, aud would have forced a vote,
that, with the prevailing ignorance on the
subject would have resulted 10 its rejection.
Ii the reorganization offers so many good
points, will afford the city so many i'm
provements, why did not the Union discuss
the matter before endeavoriag to force il
upon the cltizens2 The present charter
OF Rock Island has served its purpose very
well, aud the citizens very justly question
the expediency of creating additional ex-
pense by changing the present order Of

WASHINGTON.
Great Demand for the a per cent.
Certificates.
Secretary Sherman Has Re.
turned.
The Senate Committee Agrees on a
National Quarantine Bill.
Something That Will be Likely to
Pass.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Subscrip-
tions to the four per cent. refunding
certificates since yesterday 1896, $50.
Owing to the demand being greater
than the supply the treasury depart
ment is compelled to regulate the
issue Of refunding certificates to de-
positories. Sales in this city were
getting out of all proportion to the
amount of certificates which deposi-
tories elsewhere could receive, and
to-day no person was allowed to buy
more than one hundred dollars in
certificates.
Secretary Sherman has returned.
The senate committee on diseases
to-day agreed upon amendments in the
nature of a substitute for a bill re-
Gently recommitted to them concern
ing the national board Of health and
the proposed establishment of national
quarantine regulations.
The amendments confine the re-
quirements Of the bill to a vessel
coming from foreign ports where
any contagious or infectious disease
exists instead of referring, as in the
original bill, to vessels coming from
amy foreign port" and provides that
quarantine regulations framed by the
national board of health shall, as far
as possible, be merely supplemental to
the regulations prescribed by State
and municipal authorities and be con
ided to them for enforcement if they
will so undertake, but in case of re-
fusal or failure the President may de-
tail an officer for that purpose,
The section Of the bill explicitly
providing authority for the board of
health to establish quarantine stations
on railroads or river lines of interstate
commerce, and to detain goods and
passengers for disinfection, is stricken
out.
The sections authorizing the same
body to investigate the general subject
of cattle diseases, and to cause inspec-
tons to be made of all animals at or
exported from the different shipping
ports of the United States, are also
omitted from the amended measure,
and the amount Of appropriation
asked by the original bill for expendi-
turc by the national board of health
to carry out its provisions is reduced
from $G50,0O0 to $50O,0 600,
