of the Poor. il looks altogether too much ike
"teaching his grandmother to suck eggs."
The trouble with these demagogues VINO
posture as Friends Of the People and frienus
of the Poor is that they take tho PuDhc ior
fool Not only for fool, but for deal
dumb and blind fool. Their attempts
to impose upon the intelligence OF the
neople are accompanied by such stage
"asides and perfectly audible soto roce run
ming comments that no person OF sense, rlch
or Door, capitalist or laborer, can faI 10 COM
prehend the meaning Of the performance
and the purpose Of the players. AS De-
tween the two rival factions at Albany, inc
position of Grady and his associates -
as we have heretofore taken occasion 10 say,
n strong one. Tammany holds the Daiahce Oh
no,vcr and desires to trade it off, The ANU
Monopoly dodge furnishes the only plausible
basis for n trade 1t contains something that
has the semblance of political pflnclpie' Inc
Tammany men have planted themselves on H.
and with a very pretty affectation OF devotion
to il refused to move until their terms-not as
trading balance of power, or poltli'8
faction. but as genuine and sincere champions
of q Great causc-are acccdCd to- Therein
they have the other faction on the mp. upon
the face of affairs they appear as
a very consistent and devoted band OF adj
berents to principle. TIE TRIBUNE has taken
mains. even at the risk of beng charged
with favoring their cause, to point out
that their position as an Antl-Mohopo-
list balance of power, sturdlly asserting
itself, is mpregnable from the other side, ana
that if they only stick to it the Country Demo
Gratis must in the end yield to their demands.
But the public understands the game
all the same. When Mr.. Grady comes
to the footIights and says, "Why do
Won LAUGH at us 7 We are in dead
earnest" he only increases the meTiment.
Their playing themselves off on the opposite
faction as Friends of the Poor in such a way
as to disable the opposition is sufficiently lu-
dicrous; when it comes to playing the
thing on the public, the farce becomes
uproalious. For nothing is better under
stood than that the sclf-Siylcd Friend
of the Poor in politics is always
dcmagoguc, always humbug and cheat.
Whether it is General Butler raldlng
Massachusetts for the G0vemorship,
Thurber buttcrng the masses with oleo-
margarine, or any of the bccr-puohins ward
politicians who like the late Mr.. MOrlssey
were "born into that spear Of life the peo-
plc see through and understand them all, and
know precisely what they are driving at.
Grady q Co. make mistake iii wasting time
on the public. The public is amused, ana not
in the least fooled. All that anybody IS wait
ing for now is for the two trading
Democratic factions to come down to
business and conclude their bargains.
They will come together in some sort OF
trade eventually, OF course. Nothing else is
expected. Meantime the delay of the dead
lock is borne with equanimity III consideration
of the fact that so long as the two factions
keep apart they are doing no great mischief.

When the news came not long ago that the
first party Of the Jeanette crew which arrived
at the Lena settlements had journcycd south.
the two officers in command were hastily con-
demned in some quarters for abandoning the
search for their companions, 1t now appears
that one of those officers was nearly blind, and
that the other had personally conducted the
search for De Long and Chipp i'll the Lena
delta. Why he suspended operations after get
ting family on the trail of the main party is not
apparent, but in the absence of definite informa-
ton it may safely be assumed that he had good
reasons for acting as he did. When ship
wrecked explorers are as unfortunate and as far
OF as the survivors of the Jeanette, captious
critics should not be impatient of delay and do
rank injustice to brave men.

Guitcau has spoken his piece with SchOOl-bOy
heat and school girl sObs. 1t was the rambling
address which was published in Mondays issue,
a brief preface being the only new feature. In
the Introductory remarks he took pains to re-
peat what he had said day or two before re-
specting a recent decision Of the Court of APP
pcals, which, coming from the progressive
State of New York, was to "rcvOutiOnizc the
old rules " and be a grand step forward i'll the
laws of insanity One of his latest speeches
was in this way served up cold as an "appe-
tier" and the remaining course was an ola
pOdrida of stale crumbs which had fallen from
his table from day to day. That he evidently
considered it feast OF letters and a flow of
Oratory is not the slightest ground for any pre-
sumption of insanity. There is many a sensible
man who has written dOggcTel and read it with
affected voice and excited gesture as if it were
the most tuncful and sOul-stirring verse. Car
dinal Rchelieu was accounted an entirely ia.
tional man, yet he did not know that his poetry
was cXccrahlc What is true of the matter
holds also in regard to the manner. Insanity is
not to be inferred from any c1travaganccs in
Guiteau's delivery of his sclf-styled Ciceronian
periods The method in the madness is too well
defined All the references to the sO-called in
spiratiOnal period were Haunted in the face of
the jury with the same tone, gesture and rolling
of the eye which have characterized his stage
business from the opening of the trial.

Mr.. Brooks intends TO make another effort to
persuade the Assembly to elect Il temporary
Speaker. As the officer provided for by his res
olution would have all the powers of a real
Speaker and would undoubtedly hold the
place during the session, it is hard to see
what argument can be urged to induce the
Tammany men to support his plan, unless,
indeed, there is desire to end the fight
by n subterfuge. Thus far the Tammany-
ties show no disposition to put the candidate
of their enemies in the chair, as Mr.. BrO0ks's
resolution would do, and invest him with all
the powers of the Speaker3hlp. They look
upon Brooks's compromise about as the
Indian in the old, old story, did on
the white mans proposition for dividing
a turkey and a crow, which were the spols of
joint hunting expedition. you take the
crow and III take the turkey" said the white
man, cor I'll take the turkey and you take the
crow" "Youno talk turkey to me" replied the
Indian. Mr.. BroOks's scheme does not talk
turkey to Tammauy. 1t gives the Tildcnitcs
the Speakership and the power to name the
committees just the same as if the boilers sub
mitted to the caucus nomination.

TO stay at home, for recklessness in railroad
management is becoming glaring. Two pas
senger trains running at full speed III oppo'
site directions on the same track have demol-
ished each other near Charleston, 5. Z. Inc
respor sibility for the fatal result apparently
rests with the conductor who went beyond the
station whero the trains had been ordered TO
pass each other. As this is not political
offence, but an instance of downright crlminai
carelessness, the South Carolina authorities
may find it convenient to order thorough IN
veStigation and ascertain precisely where the
blame lies.
The Austrian garrisons ana relief columns IN
Herzegovina are holding their ground, but are
evidently beset on all sides with bands OF IA
natical insurgents. Such continuous skrmishing
indicates q formidable revolt, and order cannot
be restored without protracted struggle. 1t
is to be hoped that the War Department has
taken the precautiop to dispatch German and
Slav regiments to the frontiers. When the first
fighting occurred in Bosnia the Magyar regi-
ments were uniformly engaged; and as that
race was opposed to the annexation of Siav
provinces, uprOar was caused at Pesth. An
drassy's popularity in Hungary suffered in con-
sequence OF llllS IdCl IL VIII AuNHI III 'i'"
campaign to select the regiments with more

Our London correspondent teleSraphs that
despite the election of a committee OF the
Chamber hostile to revision, Gambetta expects
to have his proposals tor constitutional reform
ultimately accepted. The reason assigned Is
that the Deputies will have to deal with the
constituencies, where the Premicrs strength
really lies 1t must be borne in mind, however,
that these constituencies cannot he directly
consulted unless President Grcvy and the
Senate agree to dissolve the Lower House,
and if that appeal to the country be taken, the
constituencies may not ratify policy which
will deprive them of local representation. That
the country wants to have Gdmbetta retain the
Premiership Is reasonably certain. But it by no
means follows that the present constituencies
have a marked preference for department cleo

The new steam catarmaran which John
Evertsen, of Troy, N. Y, Is intending to
put on the route between Westerly aud
Watch Hill as g passenger boat, lately
arrived at Providence, so says The Jour
nal of that city. She is of very light
draught of only fortY-five tons burden,
with hull sixty feet long and beam six feet,
and carrying capacity of about 400 per-
sons. The following are some of the
novelties of her construction: First, the
propeller, which is hung amidships and
between the hulls of the vessel, the
power being applied by double engine :.
second, the manner of working the engine,
which the pilot does from the pIlot-hOuse,
where a starting lever aud reversing lever
are located, dispensing with customary
signals by bells, though the services of an
engineer are required for all other pur-
poses. There are two decks, main and
promenade. On the former, which is
ellIptical in form, are the cabin, engine
aud boIler-room, and the stewards pantry,
with broad path al around, and rall OF
usual hcigth. A companlonway leads to
the upper deck, which is broad and open,
with only the pilot-house and captains
room to break the space. How fast the
boat is, is yet to be shown. The owners
claim that this is the first boat of its class
to which steam has been sucee ssfully
applied, four having been previously built,
none of which operated satisfactorily.

Arsenic and Vanadium I'm Caustic Soda,

Since caustic soda is no longer exclu-
sivelY made from crude soda and lime, but
is also produced directly from red luuor,
the product is often contaminated with up-
due proportions OF chlorides, sulphates.
carbonates, even mtrites and sometimes
cyanogen compounds. The author has now
also met with arsenic and vanadium in
caustlc soda. The latter impurity may be
dlsregarded, beng rare and very minute ::
but the former is more serious. A sample
OF this caustic soda, dissolved in dilute
suIphuric acid, and the solution tested
directly in Marsh's apparatus, yielded a
strong arsenic mirror. Assay by means of
precipitation with hy drO-sulphuric acid.
ETC., yielded 0.16 per cent of arsenic acid.
The same sample contained also O.014 per
cent of vanadIc acid. The latter NAV be
recognized by passing through solution of
the caustic soda current of hydro-sulphuric
acid, when the liquid will finally assume
an intense reddish violet. This is filtered
and acidulated with dilute sulphuric acid.
when precipitate will be obtained, which
after beng washed, will produce with
borax yellow Dead in the outer blow pipe
fame, and green bead In the inner. On
heating the precipltate in the air, reddish
yellow mass is obtained, which is soluble
in ammonia with a yellow color. The latter
solution, slightly acidulated with hydro
chloric acid, yields blush black precl
pitate with infusion Of nutgalls.

Your wife should always have everything

American Traditions,

An English paper observes that the
difference in the Importance which is
attached to the War of Independence in
the mind of the American and in that Of
the Englishman is of course immense.
and naturally so. To the former the
spot upon which each skirmish was
fought is sacred ground, while the dearth
of exciting incident in their short ma
tional and colonial history drives the
author and the poet with never-ceaslng
freshness to those with us almost for
gotten fields for his story and his lay.
The names and deeds of each general
have been imprinted on the mind of the
American from his youth up. To claim
descent from those Legislators and war
riors who were called from comparative
obscurity to be the founders of what
must soon be the greatest nation upon
earth to the present generation is a
source of the most pardonable pride.
Names and traditions that we in Eng
land have never heard-nay, the names
of even British soldiers that bled for us
on the long list of fruitless victories and
disastrous defeats, and that we have
long forgotton-still live IN the freside
lore of every good Americans house
hold. When the whole facts of the case
are borne In mind, and when it is recol-
lected what a sorry figure we cut as a
nation throughout the whole business,
there is nothing very remarkable, per-
haps, in the oblivion to which British
literature has consigned those in-starred
campaigns. But in these days, when
every well informed and sensible Eng
lish-man not only feels no bitterness
connected with that struggle, but SYM
pathises unreservedly with the motives
that led the Colonies TO fight; and which
the magnitude of the great nation TO
which that war gave birth is considered
and the growing significance that in
consequence must attach TO the date of
its entry into the family of nations, it is
a little singular how insignificant place
the events OF which we speak and the
participators in them occupy in the
minds of even cultivated Englishmen.
The almost unique perfection of Wash
ington's career and character hos, it is
true, lifted him out Of the obscurity that
wells the names and deeds af his cotem-
poraries. How many are there of us
for instance, to whom the name of Pat
rick Henry would have any significance
And yet this was the man, self taught,
sprung from the lower classes, once
considered too ignorant and uncouth for
a COLONEL country lawyer, who, by a
natural eloquence so extraordinary o {
of its kind and so remarkable for its ef-
feet that an exact parallel for it would
be hard to find in history, completely
crushed out the clinging to the mother
country that was so strong through the
Southern colonies, then the most i'm
portant portion of the continent. It is
was the sword of Washington that actu-
ally severed the bonds of union, it may
also be said that it was the voice of
Henry that caused it to unsheathed For
if the South had not risen, Washington
would most certainly have remained at
home, for a strong seuse of duty My
drove him to the field, and he owned no
kind of allegiance to anything but his
own colony, Virginia.
