Political StrawS

II the two great political parties were
to hold national conventions this month,
or any time this year, it is probable that
MIR. Cleveland would be the choice OF the
Democrats and Mr.. Blaine of the Repub-
licans. From present indications they
may be the choice of their respective par
ties in 1885, but there may be occurrences
before that year which will wholly change
public sentiment.
Last week the Democratic and Repub.
lean State conventions of Massachusetts
met, and enterprising reporters canvassed
them tor the purpose of finding out the
choice OF the delegates for President in
1888,
In the Democratic convention 266 ex-
pressed a preference. OF this number 800
were for Mr.. Cleveland and 30 for Gov.
Hill, OF New York. Eight other promi-
nent gentlemen received one each.
In the Republican convention 227 ex-
pressed preference. Mr.. Blaine received
l6S, Mr.. Sherman n, Mr., Edmunds 10 and
Gen. Logan 8. The other votes were di-
vided between four other candidates.
If the sentiment among the representa-
tive party men OF Massachusetts Is any
Indication OF the sentiment among the
people and party men in other States,
Mr., Cleveland and Mr.. Blaine will lead
their respective parties in the next Pres-
Dental contest.

Status of the Navy.

The present condition of the United
State navy is the shame OF the nation, and
it has been brought about by the dishon-
estY and gross incompetency of those who
had control of the government from the
end of the war up to March 4, 1885. MIL
lions upon millions Of dollars have been
spent in building and repairing naval
vessels, and yet there is almost nsthing
to show for the enormous outlay, except
a line Of antiquated wooden vessels and
a few hulks that are worthless for war
purposes.
The report OF Chief Naval Constructor
Wilson shows that not one of the iron or
wooden vessels now embraced in the
United States navy would be effective
against modern armor and arms, such as
are now employed in the navies of the
various countries OF Europe and even of
south America. We have more than a
dozen monitors that have cost millions of
dollars for storage and repairs since the
war that are now totally unfit for service.
The United States is at the very foot OF
the list OF naval powers.
1t has only been during the last eigh-
teen months, or since the democrats
came into power, that it has been practi-
cable to begin TO rebuild the navy accord
ing TO modern ideas. We have now a
prospective navy that will, within four or
five years. form nucleus that will again
place us in a respectable though not very
influential position among naval powers.
1t is contemplated during that time to
build eighteen effective vessels of differ
ent classes, to be furnished with the best
arms and most approved armor. They
are expected to cost about $4,000, coo,
and 1t is believed that under an honest
and efficient administration the govern
ment Will get the worth of its money.
With this nucleus to begin on few
vessels OF the different classes, construct
ed according to the most approved plans,
can be added from year TO year. and it
VIII probably not be long before our flag
will float as proudly on the seas as it did
during the period that covered our navy
with so much glory.

Progress of Cremation.


| The statistics OF cremation during the
past twelve months seem to show eady
growth OF sentiment in its favor. This
growth, however, is confined to few 10
callties, and there does not appear to be
any immediate danger that the predicted
craze on the subject is about to sweep
over the country. For more than eighty
years from the incineration by his own
direction OF the remains of Col. Henry
Laurens in South Carolina, in 1894, which
is believed to be the first instance
Of the Kind in the history OF this country,
until 1876, only eight bodies were burned
in the United states, while onlv about 1870
had been burned in Europe, $50 of which
were at the Milan crematory. Up to 1876
there were only four crematOries In Eu-
rope. aud about that time She first in this
country was built at Washington, Pa.
Now there are more than dozen in Eu-
rope, and four completed and several
others projected in the United States.
Since 1876 nearly 100 bodies have been
burned in this country. most OF them at
the New York crematory, at Fresh Pond,
l.. ]. This crematory was completed and
opened less than ten months ago. and 81
bodies have been reduce1 to ashes in it.
The crematories at Washington and
Lancaster, Pa, and Buffalo, n. Y,
have had scarcely any custom since that
at Fresh Pond was opened, and the latter
has not had enough patronage to pay a
1.-THE Of the operating expenses, to say
nothing Of dividends to the stockholders.
The charge o. S25 for incinerstion it is said,
cannot prove profitable unless four or five
bodies are subjected to the process every
dlY.
In Paris the new crematory at Pere la
Cha1se cemetery has completed arrange
ments with the municipality to undertake
the incineration OF the bodies OF all paul
pers, and the charges is fixed at l5f., or
about So each. 1t is expected that crema-
tIon will soon become common in that
city.
There appears to be less opposition to
cremation on religious and sentimental
grounds in this country now tnan there
was two or three years ago. 1t looks as If
the advocates of this manner of disposing
of dead bodies were also less aggressive
than they were year or two ago.
In connection with this subject the in
ventors have been at work designing
urns, etc, for containing the ashes OF the
dead. Tie most sensational, 1t may be
said startling proposition has been made
in Paris. At a recent meeting of the
French Academy there were shown a
number of glass articles made of phos-
phate of lime, TO which bone ashes can be
reduced, and which 1t is proposed to form
into medallions or statuettes Of the per-
sons from whose bodies the material is
derived by incincration. A scientific
journal coOlly discusses the merits of the
invention, and commends it on the ground
that the articles are indestructible by
time or acids.

A DOG Saves His Masters Life.

The impre ssion IS that there are good
many knights OF Labor who do not in
tend to vote for the mass meeting legisla-
tive ticket. The reason, doubtless, Is
that they are loyal Democrats, and d. not
regard 1t as a Democratic ticket. 1t 10
true that it was nominated at Il meeting
called by the Democratic Executive Com
mittec. and it may be that all the nOnli-
nees are Democrats, but that doesn't
make it the ticket OF the Chatham county
/ Democracy.
/ The statement has been made and not
/ denied that the ticket was decided upon
| in caucus of knights Oi Labor, and il
will hardly be denied that it was nomi-
mated by knights of Labor. The resolu-
tions adopted to accompany the ticket
express the purposes of Knights OF Labor
rather than of Democrats.
! The argument is frequently advanced
that because the ticket was nominated at
mase meeting called by the Democratic
| Executive Committee, and without pro-
test from any one at the time, the Demo-
Gratis ought to accept it. In effect, the
| argument amounts to this, that If Repub-
! LEANS, for in stance, should collect at a
mass meeting. called by Democrats, and
control It, the Democrats should abide by
the action OF the meeting il no Democrat at
! the time was thoughtful enough to protest
against the presence of Republicans. The
argument will hardly satisfy Dem Gratis.
While the great majority of the knights
of Labor in this community are,
4
the purposes of their organization
are not in harmony with the pur-
poses OF the Democratic party. When
they enter politics. therefore, as an or
ganlzation they have no right to claim
that their acts are the acts of the Demo-
cratic party. AS political organization
they are as distinct from the Democratic
party as the Republican party is.
1t has been stated and not questioned
that the secretary of the political commit
tee of the Knights of Labor is a Republi-
can. This, Ofitself. would seem to indi-
cate that the Knights of Labor. inside of
their organization, do not regard them
selves as Democrats. No committee of
Democrats would select a Republican
secretary. If. therefore, the Knights do
not regard their organization as Demo
cratic in it's character, what right have
they to name ticket in their caucus for
the Democratic party.
There can be no question that the
KnieA>s of Labor have a right as an or
gan'E ition to take part in politics and to
nOmI4ate candidates, but they cannot do
30 as Democrats. The Democratic party
will not consent to be deprived of its
name and organization. 1t has use for
them.
Who knows but that the candidates
named by the knights of Labor in their
secret caucus were required 10 make
pledges and promises wholly at variance
with the principles OF the Democracy.
II there were no pledges. why the secrecy?
1t is easy to see that the welfare of the
Democratic party in this county requires
that it should not allow itself to be cap.
tured or dictated to by an organization of
the secret workings of which the public
knows little or nothing.
