Tilden Still ON the Top.

The Democrats of New York have held
their State conventions. There were not
three, as some expected, but there were
two, which was really just as bad. The
Democracy Of the Empire State is now
put together on the bicycle plan, only
the wheels persist in running in oppo-
site directions. They did that at SYRIA
crlse and will at the polls in November,
unless something extraordinary should
occur to prevent it.
The regular convention, the only one
which can have any formal recognion OF
Cincinnati, was run entirely in the Til
den interest. The seventy delegates de-
signated to attend the National Conven-
ton were instructed to vote as unit,
and to insist upon the two-thirds rule.
This is not all. The convention clinched
the nail beyond all chance by declaring
thatif any delegateref tovote with the
majority, his seat should be thereby
vacated and given to some one else
chosen by the delegation. The effect
will be that the Chairman of the dele
cation will, upon every roll-call, announce
that New York casts her seventy votes
for Samuel ]. Tilden, or whatever motion
may be made in his interest. Unless
death or paralysis comes to it's rescue, the
Democracy cannot shake off ''the old
man of the sea" He is sure of at least
little more than one-third of the Ma
tional Convention at the outset, and his
strength is SO very positive and personal
tha4 it will be absolute in its mastery of
the situation. Between the unit rule
made final, and the maintenance of the
customary two-thirds rnle, Gramercy
Park has the necessary upper and neither
mill-stones for grinding out the desired
Tilden grist.

Hall, and I'ilden's enemy, was a mem

will reply, "That was your prophecy
four years ago. You were mistaken then.
and your opinion now is entitled to no

had its entire patronage In his hands,
was generally popular, and Mr. Conk-
ling was lukewarm in the support of Mr..
Hayes. Now the State Government is
Republican, and Mr.. Conkling will cor
daily support whoever is nominated,
even though it be Blaine or Sherman.
Kelly IS still the supreme power in New
York city politics, and can at least pre-
vent the usual wholesale frauds of the
Democracy In that city, and, under the
circumstances, will do so. In effect,

Beavers COasting.

Two boys who live in the State of
Iowa once concluded to see what beavers
did on moonlight nights. Therefore
they crept through the snow just about
midnight and went to the home of the
beavers. At the dam which the beavers
had built the moon was reflected from
the ice with great glare. To their
great surprise the boys saw the beavers
'coasting down long slide from the top
Of the dam to the ice below. It was fine
sport. The old beavers gave the young
ones rides on their broad, flat tails, all
sliding down very rapidly. Just then
one Of the boys sneezed, when the bea-
vers disappeared like a flash.

The following pleasant thing in the

Of the public schools Of a city in Massa-

Capt. K, was wishing the school, and,
the class having read from Webster's
address at Plymouth, the Captain asked
the class, Who was Webster? ?" One
boy said, "a statesman; ;" another, "An
orator. But what is a statesman 2"
asked the Captain. "a man who goes
round making speeches" answered a
boy. THAT is not quite right, replied
the Captain Sc go around sometimes

The movement III favor of women doc

goes on apace. Two ladies have recent
ly received doctors diplomas from the
Faculty Of Medicine in Paris One Of
them, Mrs. Chaplin Ayrton, came from
Japan, where her husband held an i'm

study medicine, and has passed her ex-

Mrs. Garrett Anderson, the premier of

physicians, as well as the public, to de-

gave final proof of her fitness by thesis
that she wrote on an obscure disease,
more dangerous to women than men.
On handing her her diploma the
Paris President said "You, ma

the national game is at greater
height than ever before, and the
contest for the championship between
the eight clubs composing the League

A Double Brain.

The human body is, in the main,
double. It has two eyes, two ears,
two nostrils, two lungs, two kidneys,
two arms, two legs Two sets of the
same nerves issue from the two sides
Of the spinal column. Indeed the spinal
column is itself double throughout.
One advantage of this dual member
ship of the body is, that if one organ or
member is destroyed, the other supplies
it's place. It is also familiar fact that
we incline to use the right side more
than the left, and, as consequence, the
members and organs of the right side
are more fully developed, and become
specially expert.
Now the brain belongs to the class of
double organs, and not to the small class
of single ones. A deep furrow cleaves
the brain down to it's point of junction.
AS consequence, it seems probable
that, if one brain could be safely re-
moved, all mental acts could be equally
performed by the other and, doubtless,
it is owing to this that large portions of
the brain have been destroyed without
an appreciable loss of intellect.
To some extent, however, so far, at
least, as physical sensation and move
ment are concerned, the two brains
adopt the principle of division of labor,
each presiding over one side of the body;
but singularly enough, each over its OPP
posite side
This is due to the fact that the nerves
Of sensation and motion cross before
passing out of the Uranium. Hence,
when the left side of the body is par
alyzed, we know that it is the right
brain which is injured, and vice versa.
Further: in using the right side of the
body most, it is not only more gener-
ously developed, but the left brain also
more fully developed, so that the diff
Guilty of using the left hand in adult life
does not depend wholly on the less-de-
yeloped hand, but also on the less
developed brain.
It is a mistake thus to develop one
hand at the expense Of the other We
might just as well develop both alike.
We could thus often divide labor be-
tween them and, in many cases, both
might work equally well together, where
the work is ordinarily wholly done by
one. = Youths Companion.

honor to the dead, is too often lost sight Of
in these modern days. The desire to show
to the world the love that was borne to the
one who has passed into the eternity of the
future, too often obscures the far greater
obligation duty to those who are left to
struggle with the vicissitudes of life. To the
cot1ined clay plumes are nothing-the re-
QUEEN of the organ is nothing long line
of carriages following it to the tomb is moth
ing. TO the living they are perhaps the sig
nails of want and privation for the future-of
stinted food, of midnight oil, of scanty cloth
ing, of toll unremitting and often of degra-
dation and crime.
We have no hesitancy in pronouncing the
lavish expenditures for modern funerals q
great crime. Such demonstrations are of no
benefit to the dead: they are positive injury
to the living. AS much respect for the MEM
DRY of the departed can be shown by q
hearse and modest conveyance for the I'M
mediate mourners as by gorgeously plum
ed catafalque and funeral pageant such as
followed the ashes of Napoleon to the In
valides. Let US pay less attention to ostenta-
ton for the dead and more respect to the
rights of the living.

In view of the announcements in other pa

in progress in this Office and up to this writing
no evidence that one will occur. The printers
presented the proprietor of the GLOBE with a
written request on Friday asking an increase of
their pay from 1915 Cells per 1000 ems to a71S
cents per LOCO. The request was entirely re-
spectful, and coupled with no threats. They
were notified thas their request would be con-
sidered and answer made when the work on
the Saturday mornings issue had been COM
pleted. At the time designated the publisher
of the GLOBE gave written answer to the re-
quest for the advance, declining to make the
change in price and stating his reasons for
such declination. One of the points made was
that the subscription price and advertising

while the price of printing paper had advanced
fifty or sixty per cent As consequence
papers were less able to pay an advance than

IT is now in order for more Minneapolis
Democrats to come to the front and declare
that they are i'll favor of bribery at elections.
The sub-election committee of the House,
on yesterday, by vote of three to two, de-
cided in favor of unseating Washburn and
seating Donnelly. This is done because
they have convicted Washburn of being q
bribe-giver and corruptionist. OF course
We expect partisan Republicans to be very
much Outraged" by this policy OF punish
ing bribery. We trust all Democrats
who believe i'll allowing Republicans to
buy their elections will join the Republi-
can ranks and shout COURAGE" A few mp
in Minneapolis have shown their hands and if
there are any more let them come forth.
When it il remembered that the larger
amount of Washburn's bribery was among
Democrats, 1t is q little significant that Ger
tain Democrats think it is wrong to prose
cute him. We hope it will not appear that
their present opinions have financial basis.
