THE TAMMANY CREW.

The New York Times, the sblest CT EVE
LAND organ in New York, don think the
declaration Of Tammsny in favor Of the
the Democratic ticket is much Of an seces-
sion, while the World, the regulation Demo
cratic organ, is highly delighted. After the
ballots are counted out Of the boxes on the
night Of the eth of November, we can ell
see more clearly the effect Of this step BY
Tsmmany, and its mercenary crew. The
address preceding the resolution to sup,
port CLEVELAND and HESDHCEs shows
clearly enough the wish of Tammany, that
the ticket be defeated, but that organization
had not the courage to openly aid in &C

LABOR AND TIE STEEL NAIL

The Amalgamated Association has sP
pealed to all users OF nails to refrain hom
using steel nails, on the ground that the in
PRODUCTION of the new article is direct
stab ct organized labor. Furthermore, it
is declared that the iron nail is stilla cheap
er and better implement than that made
from steel The assertion that the making
of steel nails requires the less manual labor
is probably true. But the greater economy,
both in price and effective service, Of the
steel nail is confidently asserted BY those
least able to Judge of the matter With eY-
cry new process for eheapening articles in
daily use, there comes much opposition.
For while, too, it is sometimes shown
that suffering is caused by the employment
Of new methods. But the tendency almost
invariably is also toward much larger
consumption. Witness how immensely the
sale Of shoes has grown since machinery
has been used at every stage Of the mana
facture, with consequent reduction Of the
price. Were al shoes made on the cob
bler's bench, only the rich could afford to
wear them. And note that since leather
working machinery has been used the wage
Of the shoemaker, whether he work at an
apparatus of gears and Pulleys or with the
lapstone has advanced 1t is not to be be-
ieved that contrary experience Nill be

A QUIET REVOLUTION.

Those who remember well the political
campaign in Ohio, and indeed, in all the
Northern States, in 1862, will have it called
To mind BY the present campaign. In that
campaign the political meetings were at
tended as they had never been before and
yet there was little excitement, little OF that
bOisterOus hurrahing which usually preoedes
important elections. The people attended
meetings. listened interestedly to speeches,
read newspapers with sVidity. thought deep
ly-snd yet they gave bat slight sign Of
how they would vote until election day.
Even the shrewdest party organizers were
utterly at sea, because Of the large indepen-
dent uupledged vote which it was plainly
evident existed.
The canvass Of the Hon. JOIN A. BISG-
HAM who was then in the zenith of his
great power in the 18th Ohio District, on
the one hand, and the Hon. JOSEPH W.
WHrrE on the other, for seat in Congress,
presented fair sample of the drift Of public
sentiment throughout the North. Mr..
BINGHAM was then in Congress. HeWas an
orator of wide reputation, politician Of
large influence, and was considered invinci-
bic BY his party The district was thought
to be safely Republican. He csnvassed his
district, in the campaign to which we refer,
with extraordinary diligence, addressing
the people of almost every school district
and peighborhoOd. bis meetings were well
attended, and the people listened to his i'm
psssioned words and seemed to drink in
every sentence which fell from his eloquent
lips. No man was ever more confident Of
success than he, until. within ten days
Of the election. As the day approached for
the deposit Of the ballots, the air seemed to
become gradually charged with the svi-
de0ces of an approaching political reVo!u-
ton. On the Democratic side the cam
psign had been managed with equal indus
Try and encouragement as to the deep
interest of the great body Of voters. In the
way of organization they had been equally
diligent, and near election day they also
felt the approach Of the revolution. 1t was
in their direction.
The people had not been led. They had
quietly thought out for themselves their
duty. They had refused to be moved by
appeals to the past history Of their respec.
tive parties; to their passions or to
their prejudices. Fuss and feathers
played no part, except to disgust the reflect
ing voter.
So it is in the year 1884. There is abund-
auce ofevidence that large per cent Of the
voters to-day are turning political matters
over in their minds. All efforts to "whoop
them up" and fetter them with the chains Of
party drill, are visible failure. The waving
of the bloody shirt, demsgogueing on the tar
id, efforts to stir up the baser passions, are
all failures. The people are thinking, They
are refectiug upon their interests. This is
favorable to a change. A great revolution
is quietly going on, The Republican par
ty is disintegrsting-g to pieces. The
Democratic triumph is near at hand

toned off with bars to form q fowl

round, I saw o rat run for large dog

rat (Mus decumanus) come cautiously
forward, and after nibbling for a short
time at tho biscuit, drag it toward the
bars, which are only two inches apart,
and would not allow the biscuit to
pass. After several unsuccessful at
tempts, he left it, and in about five
minutes returned with another rat,
rather smaller than himself He then
came through the bars, and, pushing
his nose under the biscuit, gradually
tipped it on edge, rat number two pull

How tho Dlvinor Found the Pin.

At a seance In Lancaster, Pa, .
thought reader boosted that he could
find marked pin hid by one OF tho
audience. Several Of them CAME for
ward, among whom was a confederate.
The pin was hid by q Trinity student
in an adjoining room in the presence OF
the committee, among whom was the
confederate. The student, suspecting
this man from his looks, slyly took the
pin away from Its hiding place. On the
return to the platform the thought
reader gazed into the hider's face, and
putting his hand to his brow was blind
folded and led the student to the place,
but of course could find no pin. He
returned acknowledging defeat and
looking daggers at his confederate.

"rll undertake to say that ii this 'di-

That glass could DO made to take the
place of iron and other materials lor
certain mechanical purposes has lately
been exemplified In the manufacturo OF
glass pulleys for cable railways. The
advantages Of glass pulleys are oovi-
GUS. In cable railways, such as arc III
use over the Brooklyn suspension
bridge and In the streets OF some OF the
cities, the operation Of the cables over
metal pulleys have resulted In serious
damage to them from the friction with
the puileys. When the pulleys are OF
metal the friction is a maximum one,
but no other substance hitherto could
be found sufficiently strong and tena-
cious to take its place. Glass pulleys
will reduce the friction to a minimum,
and they will last. for an indefinite
time. Mr.. j. y. Harding, Of Chicago
has a number Of dferent sized puileys
made for experiments 2 They are about
thirteen iHc6ss lii diameter and about

only about three-quarters of an inch,

strong, and the pulleys have proved
capable of successfully resisting any
pressure brought to bear upon them.-
