twelve or fifteen inches in diameter.
Under each end of the machine arc two
steel runners each II foot long and fash

are expected to dig into the ice and thus
move the machine along over the ice on
the runners nj a rate of speed not yet

not large enough for II person to get in

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

This is the season Of the year when it is the
fashion for the friends and managers " Mr..
CIevelsnd to talk with pale smile about Dem
ncratic "harmony.' Democratic harmony Is
most wonderful and ysterious-beyond the
understanding of Mugwump or Bourbon. and
vet they both know intuitively that there is such
n tbing IN the political market as Democratic
harmony. They have ample proof OF this.
Down in Alabama there is complete and perfect
peace. Democrat is accusing Democrat OF
fraud. intimidation and political piracy. Shot

was debauched by Democrat against Demo

Rcpublcans but because this time it was not
the Republican voter who was kept from the
POLLS at the muzzle OF gun, Democrats are
charging their brothers with wearing the brand
of Cain. Tho harmony in Alabama is deep and
calm.
Here in Ncw-York Mr.. Cleveland's advisers
are surprised that lone OF his friends
Compaign Committee. That the man who de-
clarcd solemnly that Mr.. Cleveland could not
possibly hope to carry New-fork state should
have gained the honor is to them pulling, but
if is at the same time incontrstable evidence
of harmony. Over in New-Jersey some one
must pay for the wholesale ruin which over
took the Democratic ring in Hudson County
last spring. and on these quiet and pcaceiul
summer nights there is borne across the North
River a whirring sound, whose music reminds
the trained car of the bus, grindstone. In

THE QUEENS SPEFCH.

The Queens speech seems to have been re-
ceived with deris0n on the Opposition side but
that was not an indication Of dislOyaty to the
throne. While the formal message to the new
Parliament was delivered in her name, it was
virtually Lord Saisbury's greeting on the part
of the minority of the Commons. The British
electorate had INTERVIEWED after the dissolution
IL the last Parliament with a veto upon the
continuance of the Cnionist Government Lord
Salisbury, instead OF recognizing as final the
Judgment Of that court of last resort. had re-
NAMED in Office with defiant challenge to the
Opposition to overthrow him if il could do so.
In these circumstances the formal announce
ment that financial and legislative business
were superiu0us SO late in the season. and that
measures Of social and domestic improvement
could be iudiciOusly considered next yCar natu-
rally excited ridicule The Queens adviser
was not the peoples representative. The
speech from the throne was not cOuntersgned
by Mr.. Gladstone. and hence il lacked author
ity IL was silent on the Irish question and
that was matter on which the electorate had
spoken with not little emphasis
II is probable that Lord Salisbury when he
determined to meet Parliament was more than
half persuaded that it would be practicable to
keep Mr.. Gladstone out Of Office. In Unionist
circles the plan had been preached of diSsolving
the new Parliament after vote of want Of
confidence, and of appealing second time to
the electors on the ground that the recent YER
dict was indecisiye. The Queen may or may
not have approved of this procedure, but Mr.
Chamberlain undoubtedly was very quick to
perceive the practicability of making direct
