strength, or with dilute phosphoric acid.
The result Is a porous, friable mass. which Is
dried In hot air aud passed through dis
intogrator. One popularity OF this process
| is that only half Of the phosphoric acid is
rendered soluble. and that only by almost
doubling tho bulk OF the raw material.
This great business. that is Of SO recent
origin and has already grown to such
extraordinary, proportions. is one OF tho
most notable illustrations OF tho practical
Importance to mankind In general OF alb
stract scientific research. Not until the
actual part taken by phosphoric ecid In the
functions OF plant life was positively ascer-
toined, was II possible to utilize with intelli-
gence the masses OF natural fertilizers that
lay unsupported beneath tho feet OF the
needy farmers OF Floridn and South Caro-
lima. Even now tho need OF more careful
attention and more accurate scientific
knowledge Is becoming all-importent. Much
valuable material has been wasted by igno-
rant manipulation. Chemistry Is an ex-
net science, OF mathematical precision, and
tho proper treatment of the raw phosphate
il u matter Of pure abstract chemistry.
Tho product Of the different mines differs
greatly in composition. and with every
variation needs different manipulation to
form the most economical hypophosphate.
Only in this way can the least bulk be OBJ
tanned with the highest proportion Of avail
able phosphoric acid: and the freightage.
on account OF its bulk. is one Of the chief
itor,o In t,,o ooot ~ THO ipdiopan cn bla mid
OF the farmer. As yet tho methods used
have been crude and by rule Of thumb.
The business has been much injured by the
variety Of analyses, by the variations In the
samples. and by the prejudices Of farmers.
Perhaps it is in the direction OF scientific
husbandry that science has still in reserve
its greatest services to the greatest num-
Der OF the human. race.

Of these passengers. not counting American
born travellers. have como in steamships
during tho year, and no doubt many OF
them intend to stay here.
II Is u big emigration from Europe. an
emigration averaging 100000 for each and
ovcry month Of the current year. Not in
any past year has there boon movement
Of population of equal magnitude.
The emigration from Italy and that from
Russia arc especially notable features Of
the years shifting Of population. The Ital-
ian emigration of 1891 to the two Americas
cannot have been less than fifth OF n mil
lion; and the calculation Is based upon tho
latest statistics that we have at hand. 1t Is
chiefly the masculine population that is
leaving Italy, as may DO seen by the fact
that only $4,000 Of the $4,000 Italians who
shave landed hero this year were females.
The Hebrew movement to this country
Just now Is even more striking than the
italian. Jewish emigrants from Russia and
from Poland have come here this year to
the number Of between 10000 and $4,000. and
about two-thirds OF them were males. The
Jerish Messenger OF this city. after taking
account of the jewish newcomers OF the
past few years, says that 100000 may not
be an cxtravagant estimate OF tho Jewish
population OF New York" II this be COR
rect. or nearly correct. We have larger
Jewish element than any other city in the
world. The attempt OF Baron HRsCH to
turn the tide OF Russian-Jewish emigration
away from tho United States to South
America has not thus far been successful.
and it is very sure to swell high at this port
during the coming year The work Of the
American Jews in aiding the needy immi-
grants OF their race is deserving Of oil COM
mendation.
The growth OF emigration from Europe in
these times is becoming moro and ever
more interesting both to Europe and the
rest Of the world.

present Governor of New York Is mentioned.
IL has also the true Mugwumplan belief that
the one chance OF the Democratic party Is
to seck support In Republican States. 1t
has the true Massachusetts, Mugwumpian
delusion that without Massachusetts the
Democratic party Is doomed. Consequently
its remarks upon these subjects are rich:

The aversion of the Mugwumps to Gov

of tho ablest Of their organs that they
would rather vote for Mr.. BLAINE than for
him. Mr. BLAINE was their innocent
founder. twas the recoil from Mr.. BI.A1,yE
~ the urspeakable sin and the sum OF uIl
villhinies that produced the Mugwumps.
They hated Mr.. BLAINE because no was the
most popular and successful member of his
party politician OF genius. who sought
the advancement OF the principles of his
party. and interpreted and represented
faithfully the convictions OF majority Of
its members. Naturally the esoteric kick
ers transferred their uncomfortable sup

getting his party into trouble filled their
souls with admiration and fill them yet.

York Democracy soon made the Mugwumps
as unhappy as they had been made by
Mr.. BLAINE. and perhaps unhappier. Gov
ernor HILL displayed the talent for leader
ship. the popular instincts. and the capacity
to understand his party and TO fill 1t with
enthusiasm. He represented his party.
He didn't get up on pedestal. and bid his
party fall down and worship him. The
Mugwumps fought him bitterly. and the
more they fought him the moro successful
he was. Finally. II seems. he has come to
enjoy the distinction Of being moro de-
tested by them than is the man who created
them. 1t is just to say, however. that Gov
ernor HILL is not more hated by them than
is Senator GoRMAN. Mr.. GoRMAN's ideas
OF party discipline and leadership. and Of
the means OF party success. are the same as
those Of Governor Hill. They are the
same, we suppose. as those OF Mr.. BLAINE
or Of any other man who Is capable OF
leading party. The political principles Of
Mr.. GoRMAN aud Governor HILL are dia-
motrically opposed to those OF Mr.. BLAINE.
We presume that their ideas in regard to
party management and tho essentials Of
party success are not widely different.

hatred of the Mugwumps. We are by no
means sure, however. that in the event Of
the nomination Of Governor HILL or Mr..
GoRMAN by the Democrats. and Of Mr..
BLAINE by the Republicans. the Mugwumps
would support the Republican candi-
date. Moved by the occasion for grand
Mugwump movement and Mugwump
candidate. say. Mr.. CLEVELAND OF New
Jersey or Col. CHARLES r. GOODMAN OF Mas
sachusetts. the Mugwumps might then be
willing to stand up and be counted: and 1t
would require no great mathematical
ability to count them. STILL they are so
conscious Of their numerical weakness, and
30 full OF fire and slaughter against Gov
ernor HILL and Mr.. GoRMAN. that they
might prefer to vote for Mr.. BLAINE. There
Is no political absurdity of which Mug
wump is incapable.
