PLArE-aLAss mirrors are now Iargel

PLATE-aLAss mirrors are now largely
made at Allegheny, Pa Great improve
ments have been made in this line of
industry in the past few years. Form
erly it took three weeks from the time
work was begun on mirror before it
could be finished. Now. says manu-
facturer, we get the glass in the morn
ing, and make it into mirrors, perfectly
finished and ready for sale before even
ing. Formerly the backs of mirrors
were coated with mercury; now sheets
of pure silver are used instead. The
old mirror reflected sixty or sixty-five
per cent. of the light that fell upon it;
the modern mirror reflects nearly
ninety-fiye per cent. The mercury
looking-glass was very liable to rub
of, heat and cold also affected it, the
quicksilver would crack or melt and
the beauty of the glass would be
spoiled. None of these dangers threaten
the silyered mirror.

A Romance in Black and white,

The old saying that there is no ae-
counting for tastes was fully exemplifed
yesterday when Probate Judge Mona-
han, of Kansas City, Kan, issued to
John Peter Brock license to wed josie
Brown. Breck appeared to be an in-
telligent Dane, and his bride was an ex-
ceptionally dark.skinned negress. Both
were from Kansas City, Mo. Brock
was 80 years old, and the woman gave
her age as 1S years. Both averred that
they had not been married before.
In explanation OF this action. the
young Dane related to the Judge the
story OF how his dark-skinned lady had
nursed him during serious illness,
and watched over him with tender
solicitude. She was kind to him and
he loved her, Breck explained. The
Probate Judge did not marry the couple,
and they left in quest Of Justice OF the
Peace or q minister. A few days ago
Judge Monahan issued marriage
license to white woman and a negro
man, both of this city. Kansas City

The trusted bookkeeper of an Albany
bank, the son of respected and
wealthy citizen, becomes frequenter
of bucket shops and gambler on the
races. A bookkeeper's salary would
not pay the bills and the depositor's
money would, and did. That is the
whole story of defalcation of from
$50, 900 to 100000. The moral of the
story, however, is so plain that lie who
runs may read. Bank officials should
be paid living salaries and then close
watch should be kept upon their doings
outside of business hours. A gambler
is always dangerous man when placed
within easy reach of other peoples
money.

A SENSATION has been created in
England by the discovery that an active
slave trade is now being carried on in
Madras, India, under the eyes OF the
Government. Is appears that in that
British province traffic in girls has
been carried ON as outrageous as in Con-
stantinople and with just about the
same amount of secrecy. 1t is said that
high English officials are implicated in
the nefarious trade.

THEY had model election, from the
mississippi point Of view, at Jackson,
the State capital, the other day. The
Mayor was reelected, likewise the Re-
corder, likewise the entire Board of
Aldermen, all Democrats, of course.
"The result Of the election" says dis
patch from that city, swas an over
whelming Endorsement of the present
administration. The overwhelming
character Of the result, however, is due
to the fact that the Republicans did
not vote and that less than one-third
of the Democrats voted. Of course it
would have been more overwhelming
had all the Democrats voted. But,
then, had all the Republican voters
voted il would have been an over
Whelming Republican victory. So
much depends upon the point Of view.
The total vote of the city was only
about 500, but it was Q great Demo-
cratic triumph, Overwhelming, in

WHEN the average man or woman
comes to be fitted with the first pair of
glasses, some curious discoveries are
made. Seven out of ten have stronger
sight in one eye than the other. In two
cases out of five, one eye is out of line.
Nearly one-half the people are color
blind to some extent, and only one pair
of eyes out of every fifteen are all right

Appeal to the South.

You are all willing to concede now
that the political philosophy of John G.
Calhoun was based on error and per-
meated with error from bottom to top.
You know now that slavery was bad
alike for white and black, and you are
glad that the attempt to make it the
cornerstone of q nations existence
proved an utter failure, But you are
making as big and perilous a mistake
when you try to get honest government
by fraudulent methods, and to main
tain free institutions by fraud and vio-
lence. It won't do. As freedom and
slavery couldn't co-exist, SO can not
honest government and fraud at the
ballot-box. The two things are ir-
reconcilable.
You don't want to be governed~by
the negroes? You needn't be afraid of
that. Your better education, the Gull
tivated quality Of your brains, your
inherited capacity for leadership, will
keep you at the top. But for heavens
sake undo the terrible blunder you are
making. Accept the Constitution as it
is, and see to it that every legal citi-
zen, no matter what his color, is al
lowed to enjoy all the rights to which
the Constitution entities him. Brook

Human Nature in Tariff Legislation.
T asked Senator Stanford if the Mo
Kinley tariff bill would be passed, and
he responded that he thought it would
be passed substantially as it had gone
to the Senate from the House. every
Senator has sumac in his district, SO
to speak. You know the story? No?
Well, it is old, but good, and will
tell it over. During the debate on the
Morrill, bill two free trade members
met to discuss the schedules. They
agreed that they would go over the list
and decide between them what they
would recommend the Ways and
Means Committee to put on the free
list. They had gone along with their
pencils, marking off one thing after
another, until one of them ran his pen
Gil through sumac. Hold on, said the
other, what are you marking off
sumac for? I've got sumac in my dis
trict.' Well, that is the way with the
Senators; every one has sumac or
something else in his State which he
wants to preserve on the dutiable list,
whether he is Democrat or Republi-
can, and so I am certain the bill will
pass. "-Ciqoci7o1eGti Enquirer.

The Democratic advocate., 1890-11-22

the early history of the country they were
introduced, but did not thrive The origin
of the present evil is traced to a single pair
of wild brown rabbits liberated in Victoria.
The fisrt enactments against them were
passed in 1879.
While their destruction would seem
hopeless, in view not only of the figures
given above, but on account of the exper-
ience of the past decade, attempts are still
in progress Poisoning is extensively used,
of course uniting the animals for food
This is held to be an advantage, as any
utilization of the animal is in the line of
opposition to its determination. 1t is
largely on account Of poisoning that many
canning factories started to utilize rabbits
as a food product have been abandoned.
Ferrets are found useful, but they have
already done much harm to poultry and
some of the interesting indigenous birds
Traps that kill the rabbits kill ferrets also,
so the use of wire pounds to capture them
in quantities alive is advised.
1t will be remembered that a reward vas
offered by the government of New South
Wales for method for the destruction of
rabbits, Up to the end of last year about
l,5OO methods had been proposed and
examined, but none answered the require
ments. No less than 115 were for the
destruction by disease One curious scheme
consisted in the killing of the females and
letting the males escape. This, it is claim
ed, will bring about a preponderance of the
males who will worry the females to death
This plan is actually under trial now.
NJ. Pasteur, the eminent French blolo-
gist, proposed to introduce chicken cholera
by incubation. He reserved as his secret
the method of preparing the virus, which
secret he agreed to divulge only if the re-
ward was given him. The method was
tried most carefully under the superinten-
dence of NJ Pasteur's own assistants.
Rodd Island, near Sydney, was chosen for
the work. The commission reported ad-
verscly, hiding that practically the virus
was little or no better than arsenic or other
known poison. Thus the reward of $4,000
remains in allegiance, while the rabbits con-
tinuc to be as bad a plague as ever.
