The Problem OF Flxinc-M Machine.

We must admit that a bird is an incom-
parable model Of flying No
machine that we may hope to devise, for
the same weight Of machine, fuel and d.
recting brain, is half so effective And
yet, this machine, thus perfected through
infinite ages by ruthless process OF nat
tural selection, reaches its limit of weight
at about fifty poundsi ! said, weight of
is another prodigious advantage of the
natural over the artificial machine. The
flying animal is its own engineer, the
fying-machine must carry its engineer
The directing engineer in the former (the
brain) is perhaps an ounce, in the latter it
is one hundred and fifty pounds. The
limit of the flying animal is fifty pounds
The smallest possible weight of flying
machine, with its necessary fuel and engi-
neer, even without freight or passengers,
could not be less than three or four hun
bred pounds.
Now, to complete the argument, put
these .hree indisputable facts together:
l. There is low limit of weight, certainly
not much beyond fifty pounds, beyond
which it is impossible for an animal to fly.
Nature has reached this limit, and with
her utmost effort has failed to pass it. 3
The animal machine is far more effective
than any we may hope to make; therefore
the limit of the weight Of successful
fying-machine can not be more than fifty
pounds. 3. The weight of any machine
constructed for flying, including fuel and
engineer, can not be less than three or four
hundred pounds. Is it not demonstrated
that true flying machine, self-raising,
self-sustaining, self-propelling, is physically
impossible ?-Protessor Joseph lie Conte.

THE ADDENDUM TO TIE LETTER,

The very latest dodge by our friends,
the Democrats, is to make the showing
that the Pomona letter to Minister West
was ruse gotten upby Republicans. Sup
pose that is admitted; what then? Min
lister Vests response was sincere enough
His incorporation of New York Times
editorial into his letter was deliberate
enough. That editorial was strong ap-
peal for Mr.. Cleveland, defense of his
fisheries policy and 4 condemnation of the
United States Senate for refusing to ratify
the fisheries treaty. The editorial went
on to say that retaliation was deplorable
and out of the question as a means of adj
justing the difficulty with the Canadian
fishermen. 1t stood strongly for the treaty
as securing American fishermen a right to
insist upon. 1t further contended that the
true reason the Senate refused to ratify the
treaty was that its approval would give
the Democratic Administration standing
with the people, and of any such prestige
the Republican majority was, as partisans,
jealous.
This was equivalent to saying that the
treaty had not been considered upon its
merits, and that its rejection was wholly
attributable to partisan aims. In short,
that the United States Senate was careless
of our relations with great foreign power,
blind to the interests Of our northeast
coast fishermen and perfectly willing to
risk the embodiment OF the nation in a
war rather than see the dominant political
party gain credit for good administration.
By incorporating that article in his letter,
Minister West adopted it, and he therefore
deliberately assumes the attitude of charg-
ing upon the second arm of the Govern
, ment to which he is accredited, insincer-
/. ity, demagogy and low, vulgar, partisan
political trickery.
1t is said that Minister West is shrewd
diplomat, a far-seeing and trained politi-
clan. 1t cannot be; he is laundering and
stupid. In his anxiety to float Nh. Cleve-
land, he did that of which the commonest
ward politician in America would not
have been so stupidity guilty.

In Brief. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. Il is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people
nation OF dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done q
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember: Nohappiness without health.
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness 10 the dyspeptic. Ask your
druggist for bottle. Seventy-fve cents.

The London Times" having q
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from it, editorially says: at would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ forty-five years
ago, and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, and as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
using them, though sorry for the
popular infatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their right

DAILY REC0RD-UNION
FALSE PRETENsES.

Grover Cleveland gained the Presiden-
tial Office by false pretenses, little short Of
fraud. In fact it was fraud. For he Sc
cured the place by support OF the civil
service reformers who were dissatisfied
with Mr.. Blaine. To these men he de-
clared that he sincerely favored, would
support, and would broaden their scheme,
and that he would maintain and enforce
the civil service reform laws. Upon this
hypocritical assumption Of reform virtue
he was elected. Now examine his record
See how he cunningly as his party
thought-allowed party pressure to over
come him. Note how his spasmodic vir-
tue failed him and died away within the
year after he entered upon his office.
Recall how he prated for six
months or more of Offensive par
tisanship," and then how he lost the
power to speak the words, and how
his Cabinet officials, Postmasters, Revenue
officers, Customs officers, Department off
GERS, clerks, porters and all, entered the
political arena and ratified away in the in
terest Of Mr.. Cleveland's ambition to sue
coed himself, and never so much as a word
of rebuke checked them. And now the
campaign plate goes round, and Mr. Cleve-
lands appointees and all the underlings
are bled as neatly as in the good old days
of the spoils to the victors.
What showing it all is Of hypocritical
sham and Cleveland pretense. Turn to
the recent report on civil service reform
by the Senate Committee, and see how the
bare bones Of fraud and hypocrisy are ex-
posed. As a critical contemporary con
cisely puts it:
The committee fed that in many of the large
cities civil service rules in the employment and
discharge of employees of the Postoffice Depart
ment have been shsmefully violated They
find at the public service is being admins
tered for partisan purposes, and that no regard
is paid to the spirit or letter of the law, where
escape rom detection is possible. They find
that contrary to the Presidents former direc-
tons, Federal officials have been engaged in
partisan work, and no attempt OF late has been
made TO check them. They find that Federal
officials are being assessed for c7mpaign pur
poses and they do not feel like blaming subor-
dinates so much when they have before them
the example of the President contributing one
fifth OF his salary for political purposes.
The truth is that there is no longer any
attempt to conceal the fact that the Presi-
dent has abandoned civil service reform.
1t is open avowal now that the official who
serves the Democratic party will meet
with no rebuke. But woe betide the I'M
fortunate Republican clerk-a very few
remain in the Government employ-who
dares to have political opinion and ex-
press it.

LETTER FROM INDIANA.
How General Harrison Stands with the
Railroad Men of that State.

Railroad Men of that State.
John Klees, OF this city, has received the
following letter from one of the strongest
Democratic stropgholds OF Indiana, which
shows how the railroad men of that State
feel towards General Harrison, and the
probable outcome of the election in the
Hoosier battlefield
TERRA HAUTE, Ind October 16. 1883.
As Mr.. Attmore gave me your letter to
read and requested me to write you few
lines, told him | would do SO. Although
we are strangers, yet we are of the same
opinion on politics. Well, Harrison is all
right in Indiana, and from the best of in
formation | can gather he will carry the
State by from seven TO ten thousand There
are great many Democrats that voted for
Cleveland before that will not touch him
this time, and know great many myself,
therefore l know whereof | speak.
We have in our Railroad Club here at
our own shops 563, and some of them are
old Democrats, and they halloo the loudest
for Harrison and protection, and | tell you
things look very bright for the Republican
party, and it would not surprise me if we
carry every Northern State. They have as
good as given up New York. You cannot
get bet here that Cleveland will carry
New York. There are men here that have
from $3.50 to 81 900 in our banks that want
to bet that Harrison will carry Indiana and
New York; also, that he will get the
majority Of the Electoral vote but
there are no takers as yet. 1t
is advertised every day in our
papers. They bet pretty free in the start,
but they don't now. The Democrats say
they will carry California, but 1 do not
think so by what l saw and know of your
State while was there last winter. Mr..
Attmore and | were there all winter, and
came home when he came to your city
| ike your city and the surrounding
country better than any of the State saw,
and ! was in both Northern and Southern
California. Should | ever come back to
the State l should come to Northern Cali
fornia. Your valley is very pretty one, and
had the money to spare | should spend
this winter in your place with my family,
but it may not be long before shall pay
your State another visit.
Well, ! got off Of politics. We have q
rally here two and three times a week.
We had fine turnout last night Our
speaker was an Irishman, and a splendid
speaker; and now | must close by saying
" What's the matter with Harrison? He's
all right" / was over to see him the other
day, and Shock hands with him and his
wife, and l tell you there is not more
friendly and sociable man in the United
States. Yours truly, w. A. MURPHY.

IDjudicious Charity.

He who sells all he has and gives to the
poor may, If he is very badly eaten up with
greed for money, discipline himself in the
right direction; but in selling all, he has
deprived himself of the means of self-sup-
port in sickness and endangered the care of
his family. But all this subjective wrong
might he perpetrated to curb grasping
spirit through the loss of property. That,
however, which he had no right to do he
has done. He has pauperized the poor
The evil inflicted upon scores, and perhaps
hundreds, is in their lessening of self-re-
spect, the cultivation of Incidence, the
enfeebling of their already weak determi-
nations, the putting farther away of that
day when the poor shall be properly paid
for their work, and the fostering of that
reckless spirit, 1.-THE world owes me liv-
ing, and | am going to have it." If the
next rich man does not sell out and dis
tribute soon enough, they will thirst for
his riches-perhaps for his blood. If some
of his wealth is ill-gotten, as is the case
with many rich men, they will consider it
all so. In such soil the seeds of commun-
ism grow. The advocates of anarchy and
the haters Of government are found always
among the poor.
Now note this remarkable fact-that
every single precept pointing to non-resist-
ance and self-abnegation, while subjectively
attractive, ignores the objective and ultimate
effect; that is, they all seem to be of ben
eft to the doer, but make not an iota Of
discrimination as to the effect upon others
while, in fact, as history has shown, and as
we are now beginning to know, both are
injured; but the greatest harm is done &c

The maxim runs, "Find out what your
enemy wants you to do, and then don't do
it." While it is not to be said that the
United States and England are enemies in
a belligerent sense, they are rivals in bust
ness. England is prove-bially selfish in
the preferment of her interests and claims.
She insists upon supremacy in commerce
Her way to that end is to use all countries
as free market for her manufactures. 1t
is her need. Without that she must de-
cline with it she can maintain her wealth
and power, because she is densely settled

domestic demands, but producing from the
