a Democratic View Of Ii.

The elections contribute some
lessons from which the president
NAV, if he will, learn wisdom. For
nearly two years he has conducted
his administration with a view to
strengthening himself among the
republicans. His civil cervice pol
icy has been shaped more with the
idea of modifying republicans than
of satisfying democrats. His fnan-
cial policy has been a continuation
of that of the republicans and
adapted to please the E" business
men" of Wall street. What has
been the result? In the most inn
portant municipal election ever
held in this city, in which party
politics was in no way involved,
the republican managers refused to
accept a candidate whose name is
a synonym for business integrity
and disinterested public service,
and thrust forward an inexperienced
youth whose chief claim to support
was the party label which he wore
And this in the face of what they
recognized as a menace to the peace
and prosperity of the city, and of
their own repeated protestations
that politics should not enter into
local elections. In other words,
the republicans, with their mug
wump contingent represented by
the able and astute Times, will take
all they can get from a democratic
administration and give nothing in
return. If they will stick to their
party fetch in a city election where
in only public and business ques-
tons are involved, what can be ex-
pected of men when the stake, to
their mind, is the spoils of the ma
ton?
The second lesson is the George
movement. By himself cutting the
ligatures of party fealty and show
ing himself independent alike of
the leaders, the voters and the prin-
ciples of the democracy, the presi
dent has invited the breaking of
party ties by others. Hence a great
bolt like that of the democratic
voters to George is not strange.
The third lesson may be read in
the loss of several congressman to
to the party, and of many more to
the administration. In the presi-
dents own district no democrat
would stand, except one who pro-
claimed his hostility to the admin
istration. In this city and Brook
Ign nearly all the members elect
are either open or well understood
opponents to the president. The
plain indication of these facts is
that the personal policy of conduct
ing an administration is not sue
cess. 1t weakens the president with
his party without strengthening
him with the republicans.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE PENSION
BILLS.

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Frantic efforts have been made to
SHOW that the present administration is
unfriendly to the granting of pensions
to soldiers because the president of the
United States vetoed 103 private pen
sion acts. Democratic anu republican
soldiers are sought to be. impressed
with the hospitality of the president
and the secretary of the interior to
righteous claims. What are the
facts? President Cleveland has signed
more private pension acts than any
other president who ever occupied the
White House. He has signed more
than n e-tourth of all that have be-
come laws since 1861. He vetoed 1O3,
many OF which were pensions granted
to deserters, to bounty jumpers, to men
who we're never in the service, to men
whose injuries were received when
they were cot in the service and who
had no soldier record. This democra-
tic president signed a bill appropria-
ting 10000. 900 for the payment OF
pensions tor a single year. He has re-
commended enormous and extended
appropriations for the payment of pen
sions. In the discharge of his duties
the private bills were laid before him,
with the reasons which had been pre-
pared for their passage. The reasons
which might exist tor the disapproval
Of these bills were not reported by the
committee. The president SEM for
those reasons. All men want to hear
both sides in order to decide justly in
cases involving the right and welfare OF
others. The president heard both sides
carefully and decided. The president
signed GIL bills of worthy soldiers
widows and others, more than Presi-
dent Grant signed in two terms, more
than Hayes signed in torty-eighl
months, more than Garfield and Arthur
signed in forty-elght months, more than
Abraham Lincoln signed in four years

POROINE LONGEVITY.

John Gilbert, in his refreshing arti-
Gle in the August Lippincotte, says of
Gilbert White: His interest and curl
osity in every phase o. natural history
were 10 lively and his habit of mind
came in his way to record that would
otherwise have been passed by. His
neighbors had a hog which he kept t.
an advanced age, and our curate
writes to Mr.. Darlington one of his
characteristic letters about it. "The
natural term of a hogs life," he be-
gins, sis little known, and the reason
Is plain-because it is neither profitable
nor convenient to keep that turbulent
animal to the full extent of its time.
However, my neighbor, a man of sub
stance, who had occasion to study
every little advantage to a nicely, kept
a half-bred Bantam SOW who was as
thick as she was long, and whose belly
swept on the ground, till she was add
vanced to her 18th year, at which per-
iod she showed some tokens of age by
the decay of her teeth and the decline
of her fertility" Two are three of his
most charming letters are devoted TO
the sold family tortoise What q
clear and vivid impression we get OF
the creature! and what a lively interest
we feel in his stupid ways! "No part
OF its BEHAVIOR" says White, s'evei
struck me more than the extreme tim.
idity it always expresses with regard
to rain; for, though it has a she'll iha,
would C u it against the wheei of s
loaded cart, yet does it discover al
'solicitude about rain as a lad,
dressed in all her best attire, shuflins
away on the first sprinklings and run
ming its head up in a corner" Tn,
old tortoise began 10 dig a hole in the
ground to go into winter quarter,
early in November.

HOW THEY DRINK BEER IN SPAIN.
From the Brewers Guardian.l

From the Brewers Guardian.
They drink beer in a curious manner
in Spain. A correspondent of the
Hanover Courier relates how his guide,
u Frenchman, by name of Laboisse,
proposed to visit q brewery, operated
by a firm with a German name. 1t was
notable tor its cool accommodations.
The weather was very warm, aud a
cool spot as well as a zoo fatherland's
draught was not to be despised. AS
they entered they were confronted by
some Andalusian peasants in their pic
turesque costume. They had evidently
come in to the celebration OF some pa
iron saints festival, and wished to
CRAFTY their curiosity with regard to
the new strange drink styled '~'cerveza."
Two bottles insecurely corked were
brought, a large and a small one, also
a sonp.dish, into which Laboisse poured
the contents of the larger, which had
a beer-like color. The contents of the
smaller bottle followed, the fluid beng
of a pale, lemonade color. Laboisse
stirred up the mixture before HIM with
as much solicitude as though concoct-
ing a pineapple punch. This was the
custom of the country. The beverage,
which savOred more of flat lemonade
than of beer, was then drunk ont of
small glasses.

From the ST. Paul Globe.

A stranger arrived in Duluth. lie

clothes and smoked a very good cigar.
Coming out of the dining-room at the
end of the morning meal, he walked
up to the clerk, first having lighted his
fragrant cigar, and said:

HOW THE RICH GET ON IN LONDON.
From the London Truth.

fioAA INV
The season has come to an end, and
the substitution of the aristOcracy OF
wealth for the a%ristocracy of birth, as
entertainers of society" has made
further progress. The rich give par
ties, and thus pay their way into So
ciety, and those already in it honor
those parties with their presence. Some
of the entertainers are domestic, others
exotic. The first step is to have a large
house, the second to be ready to spend
lavishly in it, the third to find some one
to bid society people to the feasts. So
that the first two conditions are fulfill
ed, and that the s'sOme one" be well
selected, the aspiring snob soon blooms
into a society parsonage, and his or her
house becomes a recognized rendezvous
of fashion. Our %aristocracy is not diff
ficult in these matters. They want to
be fed and to be given balls and par
ties, and whether the entertainer be an
eX-cOnvict or an ex-cOOk matters very
little to them, provided that the best of
everything be provided. At the first
party of the social aspirant the "some
in society" must provide half a
dozen grdndeS danes and half a dozen
society beauties as decoys. AT the
second party the "Prince" must by
hook or by crook be induced to come,
and, if possible, the "Prlncess," and
this is easily done by getting hold of
some lady of his set. Atterward there
is 10 trouble; the house becomes a re-
cognized csrdranSary for society. If

to stay during the week, is a very |
catching bait. If at Cowes, it would
be well to hire also a yacht. mention
all this because Paris is moi what it
was, and there are many wealthy
Americans who find it nowadays more
difficult than heretofore to obtain a
good footing there, no matter what
they spend; and l a assure them that
they will lot find any capital in Europe
likely to respond to their society as
pirations as London, while their pres
ence here will greatly benefit our trades
men, and be a positive boon to our
pleasure loving but close listed aristo-
crazy. They will, perhaps, be a little
at and snubbed at in the COM
mencement of their career; but they
have only to persevere. to spend freely,
and 10 put themselves into good hands,
in order to become stare of the first
magnitude.in the social armament. In
deed, if the thing be properly managed
they may, before long, snub others
and give themselves out as
exclusives.

A TAX On MANUFACTURERS.
From the St. Louis Republican,

bhS W. AsSPeoAS ~
DR.. David A. Wells. the able and
untiring opponent of the present pro-
tective tariff, mentions q case which
affords o curious and interesting ex-
ample of how some Of its duties en-
courage home manufactures. A large
manufacturer of stoves in Albany. N.
Y, recently, issued a circular stating
that in consequence of the greater
cheapness of pig-iron in Northern AL
ALBANIA as compared with the price of
that article in New York he had found
it necessary to close his works In AL
bany and remove his operations to the
southern state. 1t is stated also that
other Albany and Troy stove-makers
are contemplating a similar movement.
These two cities on the Hudson river
have for many years been the govern
ing center of the stove manufacture in
tins country, but in the last three years
the industry has been declining to a
ruin which is recognized as permanent
and irreparable and the great stove
foundries on the Hudson could not be
sold to-day for one-tourth their cost.
One cause of this is the large develop
ment of the same business in the west,
lntOlVlllS d lOSS W tuc NC" 1oIh 1Ouu-
dries of all their once profitable west
ern markets. But the chief cause is
the high duty, Sc a ton, which the tariff
law compels them to pay on raw ma
terial-pig-iron, of which their stoves
are made. Even when they buy home
made pig-iron, this duty is added to
the price and is a tax on the business of
stowe making. 1t is within the limits
of truth, therefore, to say that the duty
on iron has contributed to the ruin of
the once hourishing industry of stove
making in New York. If it shall be
transferred to Alabama, it will be be-
cause pig-ir can be made and sold
So a ton cheaper there than i'll Pennsyl-
vania and New York, and the eastern
manufacturers must go where they call
have the benefit of cheap material.
And this is not the end of it. The ruin
of the stove-making industry on the
Hudson destroys the demand for the
large amount of pig-iron which it once
consumed, and thus the eastern pig
iron makers tnd that the Sc a ton on
iron which they demand and receive
Tor the protection of their business is
actually having the effect of driving the
iron-consuming industries to the cheap
er fields of the south.

He. Well, for IL little while after he
