A New Flying Machine.

WITHIN two or three weeks the sci
entifc and general public Of New
York will be afforded an oppor-
tunity to witness the powers Of
Professor C. F. RitcheI's new flying
machine. The weI-knOwn inventor
has for the past three years been de-
voting his attention to the problem Of
aerial navigation, and has succeeded.
he thinks, in bringing that interesting
question to a satisfactory solution. The
great trouble with the fying-machines
on which so much time and money have
been expended and lives lost heretofore
on both sides Of the Atlantic was that.
while direction was possible under
favorable circumstances, the matter Of
elevation or depression was entirely
dependent on a valve in the balloon
and the carrying Of ballast. Professor
Ritchel has now completed a machine,
which he considers will render the sus-
tanning balloon independent Of the
stratiied aerial currents, relieve it
from the Objectionable valve, and dis
pense with the ballast arrangement al
together. The new machine is fur
nished with fan apparatus, whereby
it can be raised or depressed at pleas
ure. The forward familiar steering
helm Of the machine can be used so as
to act as prOpelling power, also, while
the stern fan. which IS to act as an ele-
vatOr or a depressor, is made 10 con-
tribute to the impelling force, both
subject, together or separately, to the
will Of the conductor. In connection
with the new machine the Professor has
invented new material for the carrying
balloon. consisting Of Scotch gingham,
with rubber coating. The whole fabric
is vulcanized, and proves to be fifty per
cent. lighter than any balloon yet used.
The possibilities which the future has
in store for the invention, az Mr.. Ritchel
s5;5iinItes them, are simply oewildering
to the ordinary mind and if they can be
realized, there is little doubt that a
complete revolution would mildly de-
scribe the changes that the affairs Of
mankind, as now conducted. are des-
tined to undergO.-N T. Times.

The New York Minino Racor

The New York Mining Record, in an
able review of John Sherman's speech
at the Chamber of Commerce banquet,
III New York City, shows by the report
of the Director OF the Mint that Sher.
man oyerestimated the amount of silver
IN the Treasury vaults by several mil
hons. 1t says that Sherman, while re.
joicing over the unbounded mineral re-
sources OF the country, calls upon the
merchants of New York to cooperate
with him in preventing the develop
ment OF these resources by reducing the
value of a metal of which we are the
principal producers. The Record strips
the mask off the great financier, and
shows him to be financial quack and
deniagogue.

There is now scarcely a doubt of
Grants nomination at Chicago if he re.
mains in the field, and Conkling, Came.
ron, Logan and Washburn, who are
enthusiastically IN his favor, say that
lie will His nomination for the Presi-
Gency will cause a revolt in the RepuL-
Lean party. Prominent New York
politicians say that there are at least
10000 Republicans in that State who
will not support him. The leaders Of
the boilers are men like George VIII
liam Curtis and Ethan Allen, who say
taat they will not support Grant Under
any circumstances. and they mean
what they say. 1t is scarcely possible
that such men will form a coalition
with the Tammany chiefs and support
the same ticket for President and State
officers. They say they will nominate
an independent Republican candidate
whom they can eonscientioasly support,
not with any hopes Of electing him, but
for the purpose Of defeating Grant.
History repeats itself, and the Re-
publicans are now in very nearly the
same position occupied by the Demo-
ccats in 1860, when one faction nomi-
mated Stephen A. Douglass and the
other j. C. Breckenridge for President,
with this difference: The Democrats
When united were in a majority, while
the Republicans, according to the re-
turns of 1876, and the Congressional
elections of 1878, are in a minority.
When parties have an uninterrupted
lease Of power for many years they be-
come corrupt. The spoils of office
make the machine omnipotent and the
people powerless in conventions, until
the latter redress their wrongs at the
ballot box by voting against the ma
chine candidates. Occasionally, as was
the case with the National Democracy
in 1860, and with New York Demo-
ctats last Fall, there are bolts in con-
ventions which result in the demoraliza.
zion of the party for the time. That
such bolt is imminent in the event of
Grants nomination at Chicago, no per-
son at all conversant with the
temper Of Republicans in the North
Elm States can doubt. There is
not a ceit.in Republican State in the
Union that favors his non ination.
blaine is said to be the choice of fully
titree-fourths of the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans, although the delegates to
Chicago are pledged to vote for Grant.
Tue same is true of Illinois, where the
anti-Crant element, Notwithstanding
it is Grants own State, and all the pat
ronage, at the bestowal of Senator Lo-
gun, was used to carry the primaries, is
j a majority. The machine, however,
Is more powerful than the people, and
Is intent ON foisting Grant ON the party
for third term, against the protesta-
tions of many Of the best and purest
men in the Republican party, and the
traditions of the country.
