The Democracy has a hard fight
before it in 1892, and it is absolute
ly necessary to provide the sinews
of war in anticipation of the cam
paign.-Saf Francisco Chronicle.
Well, you have diagnosed the CON
dition of the Democratic party with
the skill of an expert. The difficult
" is that it can't command as much
money as the Republicans do. 1t
is made up of what are called the
masses, wage earners, rising young
professional men with their future
before them, while the Republican
party is composed of men "with
their future behind them aristo-
Gratis, railroads wreckers, oil men,
monopolists and all like that, you
know.
So in a big fight between an aris-
tocracy which is ready to shell out
its millions for the purchase of
everybody who is for sale and a
Democracy which only wants what
is fair and for the best good of the
people, the Republicans have de-
cided advantage over honest voters
everywhere. 1t is sad but it is
true.-N. Y. Herald.

One Of Boston's handsomest Maltese
cats arrived in this city this noon on
the II "a express via Springfield. She
secured passage in a drawing room
car. or rather under it, just before the
train left the Boston and Albany de-
pot in Boston, and came through in a
hurry. One Of the porters on the
train noticed her seated cozily upon
the break beam Of one Of the trucks
Just before the train started, but sup
posed she would jump off when the
car began to move. On the contrary,
the cat fastened her claws into the
woodwork all the firmer when the
train started, and during her ride of
126 miles maintained her position un-
disturbed by the whirlwind Of sand
and gravel that would have smothered
an ordinary mortal, When the train
reached the city she was still in pos
session OF her senses, and had become
so firmly attached to her new home
that the porter could scarcely pull her
off the truck. When he did she, how
ever, quickly ran back and took her
former seat on the truck, and it was
only when the baggage master again
pulled her of and held herin his arms
till the train moved away that the
cultured cat could be persuaded to re-
main in the capital city. She was not
in the least disturbed by her rapid
transit, and when Hackman Banning
placed her on the back seat Of his hack
she Immediately began to purr con-
tentedly, and rode in great style to her
new home on Barber street, running
her claws down into the cushioned
seat and pulling slowly upon the cloth
in her musical peace Of mind. Hart

Editors Of Hymnals.

1t is most irritating experience to

who is cutting and carving the COM

case in which change is made the
question comes just to this: Whether
the eminent authors judgment or the
fussy editors is the better2 To which
may be added the further question:

Every one who has visited Pasis In
recent years must have noticed q the
corner Of the streets, in the rooms Of
the principal hotels and public build
ings, the pneumatic clock. In the
apartment In which they are placed
you do not hear the usual ticking Of
the clock, but a sound sharp and clear,
which is repeated each minute. The
mechanism is extremely simple, the
important part being small cylinder,
furnished with q piston, Joined TO Z
small flexible metallic tube and sys-
tenn of pipes connecting with these in
the street. Each minute a wave cir
culates through the whole system Of
pipes, making a progressive move
ment on the face of all the clocks.
The installation Of these clocks has
been largely facilitated by the exist
ence of the sewers in which the pipes
are placed. According TO English
ideas, these sewers should be rather
called subways, as they are spacious,
high and furnished with sidewalks, 90
that man can walk in them with
ease.
The compressed air is supplied as
power to thirteen sewing machine
shops, four ice making establish.
ments, thirty-nine turner's, each TAX
ing about two horse power, sixteen
printing houses requiring about forty.
three horse power, thirty-flve wood
working factories taking seventy horse
power and to eighty-six various in
dustries.
Paris offers specially good field fol
this system, as the police regulations
do not allow boilers above the base
ment floor. and there are many indus
tries requiring small power which
could not economically employ sepa
rate steam engines and boilers. Thu
gas engines offer many advantages X
the small manufacturers, but when
gas is as dear as it is in Paris it is no'
economical.
