SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

RULE FOR ENGINEERs.-A Mr. Rofer
gives the following rule for finding the
safe working pressure of steam boilers:
Multiply the thickness of the iron, Sc if
single-riveted, and 20 if double-riveted;
multiply this product by 10000 (safe
load); then divide the last product by
the external radius Qess thickness of
from; the quotient will be the safe
working pressure in pounds, per square
inch.
ANTIDOTE FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
The benzoate of soda has lately been
recommended as superior antiseptic in

dose of from thirty to fifty grains to

lized benzoic acid in water, neutcaliz-
ing at slight heat with solu-
ton of caustic soda, drying, and
then allowing the solution to crys-

Ours OR BRUIsEs.-Tobacco, wet
with spirits or water, bound on fresh
cut or brriise will save much pain and
soreness. The tobacco should be kept
moist by occasionally wetting the band
age with warm water. Fresh tobacco
should be applied every day till the
soreness is gone; then remove it and
put piece of court-plaster over the
wound, so as to exclude the air, and it
will soon heal without further trouble.

REPUBLICANS!
To Your Work.

But five days remain before the Octo-
ber election, and it is to be hoped that
every Republican will labor diligently
for the success of his party from now to
the close of the polls on the 18th of Oc-
tober. The October election is one of
the most important outposts on the line
of the skirmish that is to precede the
great national conflict in November.
Republicans must carry this outpost in
way that will inspire Republicans thro'
out the country with complete and
abiding confidence in the safety of our
State for November. Our success will
be measured 10y our achievements in the
past. Our opponents will compare our
majority with that of last year. We had
every advantage then, and the splendid
organization effected by Governor FOs-
ter, the superb canvass made by General
Garfield and other great leaders, the
diSaffection in the ranks of the OppOSi-
ton, and the rather heavy load imposed
upon them by the Soft-mOney prOcliVi-
ties of their candidate for Governor, en-
abled us to roll up majority of 1900.
The Democracy will make the most
strenuous efforts to cut down this ma
jority this year. No artitice will be too
base for them to resort to. If the polls
were in their hands the ballot boxes
would be stuffed, as they are in New
York City and throughout the South,
when necessary to Democratic victory.
Repeating will be carried ON wherever it
is possible. Money will be used. If
there is a man in the State whose votes
can be purchased the Democratic mana
gers will know his address and have him
'seen." The most that they expect to do
is to reduce the majority of Hon. Charles
Townsend, the head of our ticket. Their
wheel-horses, ticket-pedlars, ropers, and
whippers-in will all work with this one
object in view. Their men, from the
head of their central committee, down
to the most insignificant supernumerary,
are all drilled for this purpose.
They will offer to trade off; agreeing
to give Democratic vote for almost any
man on our ticket in return for vote
for Lang, the Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State. They will endeavOr
to effect trades to suit each community.
The only way to render this nefarious
scheme powerless, is to vote the Repub-
lican ticket, and see that your neighbOrs
vote the same. Work for it earnestly.
Ohio is Republican, and the October
vote must show that in November she
will be absolutely beyond the reach of
the enemy. The whole country isIlook-
ing at Ohio with the hope of seeing a
rousing Republican majority. 1t can be
secured by thorough work from now un-
til the evening of TUESDAY, OCTOBER
II. During the coming week review
your organizations. Scan your list of
voters. Get the names of every invalid
and see that means are provided to
bring him to the polls. DiscOuntenance
everything like trading. Get out full
vote, and the 18th of October will close
upon victory in Ohio that will infuse
new courage into the Republican ranks.

AN ELOQUENT UTTERANCE.

Extract from Speech by General
Garfield in the House of Represent
atives, April IA, 1866, ON the First
Anniversary of the Death of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
In the great drama of the rebellion
there were two acts. The first was the
war, with its battles and its sieges, vic
tories and defeats, its sufferings and
tears.
That act was closing one year ago to-
night, and just as the curtain was lifting
on the second scene and final act-the
restoration of peace and liberty-just as
the curtain was rising on new events
and new characters, the evil spirit of
the rebellion, in the fury of despair,
nerved and directed the hand of an as
sassin to strike the chief character of
both.
1t was no one man who killed Abra-
ham Lincoln it was the embodied spir-
it of treason and slavery, inspired with
fearful and despairing hate, that struck
him down in the moment of the nations
supremest JOY.
Sir, there are times in the history of
men and nations, when they stand So
near the veil that separates mortals
from immOrtals; time from eternity,
and men from their God, that they can
almost hear the beatings and feel the
pulsatiOnS of the heart of the Infinite
Through such time has this nation
passed. When two hundred and fifty
Thousand brave spirits passed from the
field of honor through that thin veil in
the presence of God, and when at last
its parting folds admitted the martyr
President to the company of these dead
heroes of the Republic, the nation stood
so near the veil that the whispers of God
were heard by the children of men.
Awe-stricken by his voice, the Ameri-
can people knelt in fearful reverence,
and made solemn covenant with Him
and with each other that this nation
should be saved from its enemies; that
all its glories should be restored, and on
the ruins of slavery and treason the
temples of freedom and justice should be
built and should survive forever.
1t remains for US, consecrated by that
great event, and under a covenant with
God, to keep that faith, to go forward in
the great work until it shall ee compile
ted.
Following the lead of that great man,
and obeying the high behests of God, let
US remember that
''Ie has sounded forth a trumpet that shall
never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men before
His judgment seat;
Be swift, my soul, to answer Him, be jubil~
ant nay feet,
For God is marching on !"

The Pith of the Matter.

1t is not safe for business men or work
ingmen, nor profitable for Republicans,
to be turned aside from the main issue
in the pending campaign. The main
question is whether it is safe at this
time to intrust the business and mate
rial interests of the country to the DEM
Ocratic or Greenback party, or to fu-
sion of them. True, Republicans are
tempted every day to put great stress
upon the extraordinary uprising of rebel
sentiment at the South, and it is undeni-
able than in any other country under
the sun an attempt to grasp control of
the Government by section recently
engaged in rebellion would be resisted
to the utmost by every loyal citizen. But
the people of this country are OptimistS.
They have strong faith that free insti-
tutions do not need any guarding or
watchfulneSS. Just as they slept sweet
ly in 1850, in the belief that disloyalty
would never attempt open rebellion, un-
til Fort Sumter had fallen, so they are
disposed to rest in the belief to-day that
the Solid South is not really in earnest
about "the cause for which Lee and
Jackson fought"
AS to their business interests, howev-
er, the people are more practical. They
dream less, and think mere. Prosperity
has come to them within the past two
years, and they see that it precisely fu.-
fills the productions of those Republicans
who advocated resumption. At many
points they can see that the restoration
of specie payments has caused or SuS-
tanned that revival of trade and indus
try. They know that every step taken
to that end was opposed with intense
bitterness by the the Democratic party,
and they see that party in league to-day
with the worst foes of resumption and
of the public credit. In Maine, Il Green
back candidate receives every Demo-
cratic vote, and is congratulated upon
the GLORIOUS result" when it is thought
that he has been elected, by the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency. In
Indiana, the widest and most reckless
advocate of repudiation is the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, and East
ern Democrats who pretend to believe
in hard money md public faith are do
ing all they can to elect this dangerous
demagogue. Then. too. the Democratic
party formally pledges itself to overturn
the existing tariff and to substitute "a
tariff for revenue only" and the conse-
quences of such change are known
only too well by the business men and
workingmen of the country. Every ap-
peal to their sober sense and enlightened
self-interest is met with attention, and
wins support. Every judiciOus appeal
to vote against "a change" at time
when a splendid prosperity is rewarding
Republican fidelity and wisdom, meets
with a hearty response.-[N. Y. Tribune:

REPUBLICANS, remember
that the Election occurs Tuesday,
October II.

The Telegraph and Messenger of Ma
con, Georgia, expresses the hope that
"the value of our property in slaves
shall be returned to those from whom it
was unlawfully wrested," and adds:
at will do no harm to keep this ques-
ton before the people that they may
preserUe the records and proper memo
rdnda OF their former slaues, in the event
that a returning sense of justice on the
part of the Federal Government may
compensate them, at least in part, for the
loss of this part of their rightful prop
erty.'
That is the true sentiment of the Solid
South on the question of the compensa-
tion for slaves, and that is part of
what the bill to reorganize the Supreme
Court means. General Hancock please
notice.-iC Gin. Com.

REP U BLICANS, remember
that the Election occurs Tuesday,

THE Importance of the October elec-
ton in Ohio is now fully before you, and
if it should result in the election of the
Democratic Secretary of State or redu-
ced Republican majority, the election of
Honcock and English will be assured
Plain Dealer.
The chief aim of the Democracy in
Ohio this year is to defeat Hon. Charles
Townsend, the candidate for Secretary
of State. or to reduce his majority. The
object is clear. He is at the head of the
ticket, and the whole war will be made
against him. If his majority is reduced,
it will be trumpeted all over the country
that the majority of the whole ticket
has been cut down. Major TOwnsend's
enemies have resOrted to the lowest and
dirtiest tricks to injure him. They have
made sneaking still hunt against him.
colporting their lies and ISLANDERS from
house to house and from saloon to sa-
loon. Their game is to open the flood
gates of SANDER suddenly upon him a
day or two before the election with a
view of blackmailing him when it is too
late for his friends to answer them. The
duty of every Republican is to vote his
whole State and county ticket, for every
man on both tickets is worthy of sup
port.-Cleveland Herald.

ted States will meet in convention at
Indianapolis, Ind, Thursday, October I,
1880. U. GRANT,
COmmander-in-C Chief.
Once more rings out the bugle call
Once more the banner f1iesl
Once more the boys are gathering
Beneath the autumn skies.
For treason makes its final fight
Against the rights of man.
But the flag we raise as in other days,
And GRANT is in the vanl
We've heard that rebel yell before;
We've heard that traitor whine,
When riot roared in the Bowery
And Lee had crossed the line;
But victory came in blaze of flame
That Scorched the rebel clan,
Bor the Boys in Blue were stout and true.
And GRANT was in the van!
Still ragged the war; and grass grew green
Ger many soldier form,
Till peace came, fair as morning star
After night of storm.
And shall we leave our ransomed soil
Beneath black treasOn's ban?
Not while Il soldier wields vote,
And GRANT is in the van!
So close up ranks and forward march.
Till the crowning fight is won;
While the sweet old music fills our hearts
With the soul of battles gone.
Our cause is bleSt-we cannot fail
Who strive for the rights of man
The stars in their course fight for US,
And GRANT is i'll the van.

foothold. The Democratic party
is united in but one thing, and
that is in getting control of the
government. 1t is for internal
improvement at the expense OF
the government in one sectiOn'
and against this in another. 1t

cations in one section, and honest
payment of its debts in another

Speech of General Grant,
AT
Warren, O., Sept. 28, 1880.

In view of the known character
and ability Of the speaker who is
to address you to-day, and his long
public career and association with
the leading statesmen of the coun-
try for the past twenty years, it
would not be becoming in me to
detain you, on the first occasion
of my presiding at apolitical meet
ing, for the ''faith that is in me-"
l am a Republican, as the two
great political parties are now di-
vided, because the Republican par
ty is national party, seeking the
greatest good ofthe greatest num-
Der of her citizens. There is not a
precinct in this vast Nation where
a Democrat can not cast his ballot
and have it counted as cast, no
matter what the predominance of
lie opposite party. He can pro-
claim his political opinions, even
ifhe is only one among a thousand,
without fear and without proscrip-
ton Oh account of his opinions.
This is one reason whyI am Re-
publican.
But | am a Republican for many
other reasons. The Republican
party assures protection to life,
property, public credit, and the
payment Of the debts of the gov
ernment, State, county, or NUM-
cipality, so far as it can control.
The Democratic party does not
promise this. If it does, it has
broken its promises to the extent
of hundreds of millions, as many
Northern Democrats can testify to
their sorrow.
| am a Republican as between
existing parties, because it fosters
the productions of the field and
farm, and of manufactures, and it
encourages the general education
of the poor as well as the rich.
The Democratic party discourages
all these when in absolute power.
the Republican party is a par
ty of progress and of liberality TO-
ward its opponents. 1t encoura-
ges the poor to strive to better
their condition; the ignorant to ed
ucate their children, to enable
them to compete successfully with
their more fortunate associates,
and, in fine,it secures entire equal
ity before the law of every citizen,
no matter what his race, national
ity, or previous condition. 1t tol-
crates no privileged class. Every
one has the opportunity to make
himself all he is capable of.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you
believe this can be truthfully said
in the greater part of fourteen
States of the Union to-day whom
the Democratic party control alb
solutely.
The Republican party is a par
ty of principles, the same princi-
pies prevailing wherever it has a

Fernando Wood brought from Europe
100000 contributed by British manu-
facturers to aid in the success of the
Democratic party. Why? Because
British manufacturers want free trade,
and the Democratic party favor free
trade. Do American workingmen de-
sire to introduce pauper labor in this
country? That is precisely what free
trade would do. 1t would build up
British interests at the expense of our
home industries.
