thrown aside their political swords and
are using the quill exclusively; and the
strange part Of II is, their quilts are so
much alike that If either should lose its
quill It could use the others without in
convenience. In fact, If they get any
thicker politically than they are now,
they can economic by using the same

III great lUuNslIlth ol AlntIlCH lOIlll
the subject of n series of articles which
will commence in the January number
of lIarper's Magazine with II paper en-
titled ~ Pair Of Shoes" written by
Howard Nudge Neuhall, leading shoe
manufacturer in Lynn. This article
"begins with the beginning and ends
with the end" tracing a shoe from the
existence Of the skin on the back of the
animal through the treatments of tan
ming and curryng which make 1t leather,
and so on amid the scores of processes
which, in these days of the division Of
machine labor, do each its part towards
making the complete shoe. A pair of
shoes, it seems, contain forty-four
separate pieces, and goes through
the hands of perhaps hundred
people. although it costs the wearer but
50 or 81. One hundred and thirty thou
sand people are employed in this indus
try, and their average earnings are
somewhat over $3.50. These industrial
articles are planned to give, in readable
fashion, clear idea of how the impor-
tant articles Of industry are made, who
make them, how much they earn, and
how they live; in short, to inform Amer
leans how they are clothed, fed, and 9TH
erwise served in these days of ma
chinery, and how their fellow Ameri-
cans earn their respective livings. This
enterprise is directly in line with the
Harper ideal of informing while inter
esting the great body Of the people.

SENAIOR PLUMB, OF hansas, according
TO correspondent, speaks as follows
regarding the question of the new Sena-
ator from New York 1.-The New York
SenatOrship interests me because the
whole field of national politics is in
volyed in it. About men have not the
slightest care. What | would like to
see is harmonious decision which will
put the party on the road to victory in
ISIS. The situation, as see it, requires
us to carry New York in next years
contest. The Democratic combination
Is at present between the solid South
and New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut The West win not be consid-
cred as factor in Democratic politics
at all, with the possible exception of In
diana. Mr.. Morrison and the Western
free traders are already very angry over
the outlook. If the Democrats carry
New York for Governor next year that
will be advertisement of the fact that
the Democratic combination is complete
and will stick. But, If the Republicans
carry New York, the free traders will
be able to say that attention must be
paid to the West. The battle of 1883
win be transferred there and we will
defeat them as we always have when It
has been a Western fight. New York
Republicans should bend every energy
to carry their State next year. To do II.
bygones must be buried. III there Is
anything unpleasant in the past let il
stay there. Get together for n common
purpose, and that common purpose the
welfare of the country, which can best
be attained by Republican administra-
tion of Government and Republican
politics."
