The Eues.

"There is great difference in the prices
of eye glasses and spectacles," an optician
said. "You can buy pair of eyeglasses for
fifteen cents, while pair that looks exactly
like them will cost you two dollars. The
difference between them is that using one
pair man is very liable TO ruin his sight,
while the other will materially aid it."
''What makes the difference in valuer'
''The quality Of the glass and the amount
OF work used in polishing them. The cheap
ones are generally made of very common
glass, and are by no means perfect. Some
times there are air bubbles in them, and
sometimes there are wavy lines. You have
looked through a window glass that distorted
everything, haven't youl Well,
just imagine taking hold Of such kind of
glass to improve your sight with. Persons
are not half careful enough of their eyes, and
the sight OF thousands of persons has been
injured by using bad and unsuitable glasses.
Poor quality glasses are injurious enough,
but when person looks through glasses that
are both poor In quality and in no way fitted
TO improve his sight he runs terrible risk. "
''Can not one tell if the glasses help him 20
SIT depends on circumstances. If a man
finds that he is getting far-sighted, and tries
on pair of far-sighted glasses and they
make him see better, he is apt TO buy them.
They may, however, be too old, and thus
strain his sight, or they may be too young
for him, and he does not receive the benefit
that he should. By going TO first class OPP
tician his sight would be tried in a proper
manner and he would get just the right kind
of glasses. 1t is very false economy to buy
cheap glasses. I've seen a man stop at a
stand in the street and buy pair of glasses
for a quarter, just by trying them on and
looking at a newspaper. Lots of persons
eyes are not Of the same strength, and ought
to have glasses of different strength in the
same frame. II a man with eyes of this
character gets a ready made pair of specta-
cles he is going to suffer-

AMERICAN RAILROADS.

The United States railway system in all its
departments is carried to degree of perfec-
ton probably superior as a whole, to that of
any other country. MT. J. L. Dow, of Aus
tralia, a representative of the Melbourne
Leader who has been travelling extensively
in this country, writes:
''In Australia railway travelling is something to
be avoided; in America it is made so attractive
that the people are induced to travel. In the
one country you are cramped into q close box
out Of which you are only allowed TO emerge and
straighten your stifened limbs at the will Of the
guard; in the other you have your seat by day
and sleeping berth by night in a gorgeous Pull
man. The check system relieves you of all
trouble with your baggage. You can get mp and
converse with any one you please, from one end
of the train to the other. II one travels from,
say Melbourne to Sydney, You require days
own system, and so familiar with it's dissdvant-
ages as well as its advantages, that the Austria
lian's ardent admiration of il almost excites our
surprsse.''
Concerning the comparative magnitude,
soil and climate of the two countries, Mr..
Dow writes that after seeing America an
Australians opinion of his own country is
greatly enhanced; the Australian continent
is just about equal in area to the United
States, but in Australia the soil is richer and
there is more of it rich, while the only part
of America that can equal the Australian
climate is California. The grandest thing
about America is its people.

THE same states that elected Tilden and
Hendricks in 1876 now elect Cleveland and
Hendricks. The states of the south with
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana elected the Democratic candidates eight
years ago, and the same identical states now
elecs, the Democratic candidates. giving them
219 electoral votes against 1s2 for the Re-
publican candidates, being eighteen more
than is necessary to choice. The same
party that defrauded Tilden and Hendricks
out Of the Presidency and Vice Presidency
is now trying TO cheat Cleveland and Hen
bricks out of the offices to which they have
been elected, by dedying that they are
elected, and by conniving at frauds and
false returns by Republican election boards,
inspired and aided bV their defeated candi-
date, the champion corruptionist and truth
denier of the age. They cannot repeat the
crime of 1876. Their persistent effort to re-
peat that infamy may wreck the govern
ment and ruin the country, but the crime
can never be consumated, be the conse-
quences what they may.

REsroRArToy OF coyFrDrNo,

When the news of Cleveland's election
was transmitted to Europe there was imme-
diately returned to this country by cable pos
tive assurance of benefit to American credit
abroad. On Friday, the third day after the
election the prices of American securities at
the London Stock exchange rose rapidly af-
ter the announcement of the result of the
Presidential election in the United States
and at once took higher place than at any
time for months past, some of the leading
stocks actually commanding prices in ad-
vance Of the highest New York quotations.
Why is this9 Simply because English inves-
tors recognize that with the defeat of Blaine
the spectacle Of stock jobbing in the Presi-
ddntial chair has been averted-that the
Wall street spectators who have robbed them
are not to control the administration-that
the man who never openly used his official
position on the floor Of congress in behalf of
scheme for public plumber is not TO be in
position where he can serve bis masters.

the present hard times SO called, has been

ENGLISH PRESS ON THs PRESIDEN-
TIL ELECTION


The intelligent and clear apprehension OF
the British press on the political situation Of
political affairs in this country is certainly a
a matter Of interest, and highly commend
able 10 the well matured views Of tue internal
affairs of foreign country. The London
4kO'7lblg Ns7Os, on the morning Of the late
Presidential election, Nov. Attn, in a leader
devoted to the American political contest
said:
'Repnblicans have much In their favor. They
are In power. they have governed the Republic
for twenty-three years, they settled the slavery
question forever and they have most heroic recOl-
lections I'm the Northern anu Western States assO-
ciated with their name. But the Republican
party has done its work and has fallen into vices
which long ascendency produces In all political
parties. IL has become more anxious 10 retain
Office than to perform any great national service.
II has bad candidate In Mr.. Blaine. who comes
forward as the representative OF the party
machine. Democratic victory no longer means
the return OF Southern men TO a monopoly OF
power. The old sectional jealousies are cold be-
yond the power of warming 70 new life. The
success OF Mr.. Cleveland will reopen no closed
controversies. II will simply mean a change In
the man at the helm. The old issues between
Republicans and Democrats have lost their force
New issues are slowly replacing them. There are
many lhuiSabiOhr n an ihiPOEtaut turning punt
in The domestic politics oil the Union has been
reached"
The London Telegraph likewise found sub
ject for comment in the American election.
1t greatly reioiees that who ever is success
full no cloud in the horizon threatens to over
shadow the existing amity Of America and
England. Englishmen can afford TO await
the result with entire confidence. "Whether
Mr.. Blaine or Mr.. Cleveland shall be elected
says the Telegraph, there will be no dissolu-
ton of the continuity of harmony aud good
viii happily subsisting between Great Britain
and her majestic eldest daughter"

THE CAMPATGN LIEs.

The campaign Of lies and bitter and vulgar
vituperation has closed. 1t has been waged
under the false guise of christian ethics.
That BaIl-faced old lying hypocrite of Buffa-
10, an alleged Doctor of Divinity, opened
wide the sluices of exaggerated vituperative,
obscene scandal, and continued TO add chap
ter after chapter to his Shiny ISLANDERS, as the
campaign progressed. A horde Of clerical
coadjutures joined him in his diabolical work
as assassins of personal character and repu-
tstion. The most of these scandal-mongers,
like old Ball himself enjoyed no position for
intellect or conspicuous standing in the field
Of moral aud religious life. The great ma
jority of the able and worthier clergy, stood
aloof from these personal scandals, and nei-
Their endorsed nor were Influenced by them.
Some like the venerable Rev. James Free
man Clark, OF Boston, who boldly raised his
voice in behalf of truth, honor, and fair
dealing; set their faces bravely against, and
rebuked the lying hordes of clerical SANDER
ers.
The partisan press viciously aud dishon-
estly seized upon, and gave prominence TO
personal ISLANDERS, TO advance their own cor
rupt ends.
One New York alleged religious journal, at
least, whose publisher has not escaped un-
pleasant personal imputations, opened its
columns to the PRONUNCIATION Of false, exag-
gerations, and unholy and base charges,
and weekly paraded its super-pious diatribes 10

result shows the unin1uential ascrption OF

THE result in the county Of Oneida, New
York, in which Mr.. Conkling resides, is re-
garded as the ''irony of fate" This county
has been steadfastlY Republican since the
formation Of the Republican party. In 1876
it gave Hayes majority Of 1, 1874, and in
1880 the majority for Garfield was 1,946.
Conklng was then the leader of the Repub-
lican party in New York. This year Oneida
county gives Cleveland a majority over
Blaine of thirty-one. These matters OF history
exhibit that if Mr.. Conkling's county had
given Blaine the majority it gave to Garfield,
Blaine would have been elected. There is
in this food for the reflection of breezy poll
ticians as well as for thoughtful men. Mr..
Conkling has no occasion to regret that be

pousing the cause OF Blaine.

BETTING on Blaine has been very uufor-
tunate thing and is causing much distress in
certain instances. A man at Cleveland, o.
named w. G. Brace was so infatuated that he
bet his place of business, his home and every
dollar he had on Blaine. His wife has
served an attachment on the stakeholder to
rescue the property, if possible, and save
herself and children from beggarY. The
Blaine sports Of that city thought they could
rely upon ''pointers" from Steve Elkins and
pushed the betting to an extravagant and in
tolerable extreme. One man Of that town is
said TO be the winner Of SIS, 900 from his
bets with Blaine men. A number of men
lost all they possessed and many others suf-
fered inconvenient losses from their wild
wagers upon the man doomed to defeat from
the hour of his nomination.

Another days work in canvassing the vote
of New York develops nothing new, but adds
additional confirmation to the solid Demo-
cratic claim that the state has gone for
Cleveland.
1t probably pleases Mr.. Blaine to pose be-
fore the country as political corpse, and
hence he seeks amusement in that direction.

and Democrats alike, are settling down to
the usual order of things and accepting
