Right here comes in a singular fact. It is
said that through the influence of Oliver
Wolcott, of Connecticut, then Secretary of
the Treasury, Mr.. Whitney obtained con-
tract (Jan. IA, 179S) by which ten thousand
stand of arms were to be delivered within a
little more than two years. This put him on
his feet. Not only did the Secretary of the
Treasury obtain the contract for Mr.. Whit
ney, but he put money into the business and
continued to do SO for several years. The
result was the establishment Of business
which finally assumed large proportions and
became known throughout the world. The
most curious part of the story is that relating
to the Secretary of the Treasury. Nowadays
no Secretary would dare to interest himself in
obtaining such a contract for a friend or in
advancing money to establish factory that
had dealings with the government. At least,
if he did it he would take precious good care
not to let it be known. Perhaps they were
not as good at concealing things in those days
as they are now.

SECRETARY Villas in his speech at the

SECRETARY Villas. in his speech at the
Tilden banquet in New York, said:
Democracy. as expounded by Tilden and
carried out by Cleveland, is the Democracy of
the people, which knows no classes. which
seeks the welfare of the toiling laborer, as
well as the wealthy capitalist. 1t strives to
diffuse through all humanity the blessings of
good government, saying to the people of the
whole country in the words of st. Paul: 1
would you were not only almost, but alto
gether just as am"
This was going long way to lug in a
scriptural quotation, and inaptly at that. An
orator who quotes should quote correctly.
What Paul said was: 81 would to God that
not only thou, but also all that hear me this
day, were 9th almost and altogether such as
am, except these bonds" We see no par
allel between the situation of ST. Paul and
that of the Democratic party. The condition
of the Democracy is more like that of Saul
before he saw the great light

the animal often does it merely to please the
people, The Germans possess the same char
acteristic Prince Bismarck appealed to it IN
his speech the other day when he said, Eve
Germans fear God only, and nothing else in
this world A million German soldiers re-
sponded ssamen" to this pious and warlike
statement 1t seems to have struck
Prince William as worth paraphrasing. So in
his speech at the Brandenburg dinner on
Thursday he said: II am a soldier. All the
Brandenburgers are soldiers. Iconclude with
the words uttered by Prince Bismarck on
Monday in the Reichstag, which showed the
grand spectacle of popular representation go
ing hand in hand with the government l
adapt to Brandenburg the sentence, We
Brandenburgers fear God only, and nothing
else in this world" This sounds patriotic,
and no doubt it elected another pious re-
Spouse from the helmeted legions of Germany.
But when Americans say such things they
are apt to be regarded as harmless bombast or
mild buncombe. Yet such expressions seem
to serve useful purpose in helping nations to
rise to the height of great occasions.

Mayor Hewitt takes strong exceptions to this
statement. He said: II was chairman of the

MECHANICS who imagine that work and
wages are much better on the Pacific coast
than elsewhere, may profit by the advice of
the Carpenter, class paper, which. in its last
issue, says: "Stay away from the Pacific
slopel The cheap railroad fares have flooded
every town with hordes of idle labor willing
TO work for even dollar day. According
to its reports from twenty-four cities in Cali
fornia. the same paper asserts that carpenters
wages range from So. so to 49, so day, and
that the condition of trade is from ''over-
stocked in San Francisco, to sfair," in sew
eral smaller places. Other trades are reported
in a similar condition"

The London Daily News, commenting on
the recent Smell murder in Chicago, expresses
a hope that the murderers may experience
speedy capture and short shrift. adding: ''The
last liz particularly important. In ordinary
circumstances the murderers, If caught to-
morrow, may still be holding levees in Jail
this day twelve months. American justice is
slow-footed, if not rather slow-witted, in the
difficulty it seems to experience of making up
its mind on the plainest questions of fact.
Judge Lynch has often been due to the mere
force of reaction" This criticism on Ameri-
can justice, from intelligent foreign
source, is eminently deserved. The hardness
of justice robs the law of half its terrors.

AT meeting Of the Ohio State Sanitary
Association, held in Toledo few days ago,
DR.. Beckwitb, of Cleveland, a member
of the State Board of Health, read paper on
the subject of Asiatic cholera, in which he
expressed belief that the disease would visit
the United States this year. He denounced
the present quarantine system at New York
and other points as entirely Intellectual, advo-
Gated the most careful vigilance in abating
all local nuisances tending to invite cholera,
and said that there should be in all cities and
towns hcuse-to-house visitation and the
most thorough inspection of foods and drinks.
Physicians are apt to be somewhat panicky
on such subjects, but this warning may prove
to be well-founded. The cholera has been
making a steady and stealthy movement
westward for some time past, and there is
reason to fear it may find lodgment on our
shores during the coming summer. At any
rate, the suggestion precautionary measures
is timely. Our cities are never too clean and
their accumulated filth is a standing invita-
ton to disease.

THE recent sale of the property of the
Whitney Arms Company. at New Haven, to
brought to light some interesting facts rela-
tive to the origin of the former. 1t dates
back to 1898. when Eli Whitney, inventor OF
the cotton-gin. perceiving the necessity Of
chine then seemed likely to afford, concluded
to embark in the manufacture of arms for the
government. At that time this was bold
conception, as the works would have to be
erected, machinery to be made and much of
1t invented, workmen trained, and all this by
one who had all to learn about the business.
