CAN'T SWALLOW TAMmANY.

CAN'I S " A LO" !" IA MI M AN Hs
 Harper's Weekly, which calls itself the journal of civilization, has been pretty good Democrat for the last four years, but it has been asked this year to swallow dose which it doesn't feel equal to. It has discovered that vote for MT. Flower at the coming election will be a vote to put Tammany in possession and control of the State government, as it is already in pos session and control of the Democratic State organization, and also to hand over to it the selection of the State delegates to next years Democratic national conven- tion. No better description of Tammany than it gives has been made. It says: It is a combination of conspiracy primarily for the control of the city government for the benefit of certain men and vast train of their dependents. Those men are in no sense whatever eminent or leading citizens of New York. They are wholly unknown except as Tammany politicians, many of them tainted with crime, and they have no part in the industrial. educated, or higher life of the city. They are merely interruptions politicians who live and enrich themselves by command of the city patronage and opportunities, selling the local offices to the highest bidder, and corrupting members of the legislature for their purposes whenever necessary. The patronage" at their control is four times as large as the federal patronage in the city, and their organization IS complete and permanent. Their forces are the great mass of the ignorant and criminal class of the population, and although they have no principle or purpose but plumber, the combination has always shown the Demo- cratic flag, is supported by Democratic votes, and trades with the trading Repub- licans, or any other venal body of politi clans or voters.
 Some who have watched the course of the journal of civilization cannot help re- marking at this stage of the proceedings that it's old favorite, Grover Cleveland, is prominent in the Tammany deal, but such fings are unkind. Grover is Democrat.

A committee of Canadian experts, after
 considering the merits of foghorns as against whistles, and guns as against bombs, has reported that under the most favorable conditions all fog signals are un- trustworthy. Sometimes weak signal has been heard further than strong one.
 Shallow water, by causing unequal heating of the atmosphere, lessens the value of sig nals. The whistle is superior to the horn,
 and either is better than the gun or the bomb. For convenience of storage and handiness of handling bombs are preferred to guns, and they are to be used in all the minor lighthouses of Canada. The com mittse warns ahipmasters against depend ing on fog signals, they being only guides to locality, and not to distance. s- When Q vessel sinks in the channel through Lake George flats, near Sault St.
