Of life and they are all free. Fifty-five
per cent Of all the imports are free OF
duty. What do tho calamity shouters
want? Luxuries freed from duty, per-
haps, and direct tax levied to provide
a revenue for the government. As this
would bear upon the poor man ten
times as heavily as upon the rich, it
would be very consistent and charac-
teristic measure.

AS GOES NEW YORK.

1t is not profitable for Republicans to
base their hopes npon what was said or
thought before the Chicago convention
took Grover Cleveland for its candidate
and kicked his tariff ideas out of the
platform. 1t is not the memory of
Democratic feuds or foolishness prior to
June 81 that is to win the election. Yet
such memories help in the task of esti-
mating the Democratic inertia that
must be overcome.
The day before the holding of the
Democratic convention the New York
Sun printed an editorial which, though
somewhat hysterical, was then regarded
as the weighty summing up of all the
argument which it had for long time
been making against Cleveland-the
concentrated essence Of all the bitter
ness Editor Dana had poured over the
"Stuffed Prophet in a food rarely if
ever equalled for volume, constancy and
vituperative intensity. 1t was couched
in moderate language, but every word
was blow and every sentence had evi-
IDENTIFY been most carefully considered
and its import gravely considered. Here
is portion of the article:
The proposition to nominate Grover Cleve-
land is to elect Democratic candidate with
out the vote Of New York.
But there is no arithmetic that enables the
Democracy To dispense with the thirty-six
votes OF the Empire State. They are absolutely
essential 10 Democratic success.
You may twist and turn the numerals Of the
table of States until your head swims this
one fact remains.
You may pile rainbow on rainbow until the
western sky looks like Joseph's coat this final
fact remains.
To lose New York for the Democratic candi-
date is to lose the election for 1892; and the
proposition to nominate Grover Cleveland is a
proposition to go into the battle with New
York's thirty-six indispensable votes thrown
away in advance.
Probably Editor Dana never published
an editorial that he more thoroughly
meant tnan this. Probably also he is
as convinced Of it's truth now as he
was when it was hurled at the head of
Cleveland and before the faces of the
managers of the Democratic party. 1t
was at once prophesy and menace.
1t expressed the sentiments, the desires
and the determination of the rulers of
the New York Democracy, and it is as
true to-day as it was on June Goth.
Nothing in the political situation
seems clearer than that Tammany Hall
will not exert itself in the least in the
campaign. Senator Hill has made
couple of speeches and will make few
more, but he is careful to declare that
he will not cooperate with the national
committee; Bourke Cockrans throat has
given out; even suave Mr.. Whitney
seems to be quiescent.
Every indication points to the con-
clusion that the Tammany Democrats
are going to let the New York cam
paign run itself without their enthusi-
astic aid, and that the people of that
State have determined to report the
election record of 1883 and stand fast
for the American policy of the Ameri-
can people.

The "Urania" entertainments for years
received the praise and support Of the
public and scientific men OF Germany.
Andrew Carnegie brought them to this
country and in his Music Hall In New

finest art Of the scene painter, the utmost
ingenuity of stage mechanism and
the inexhaustible powers of that servant
of man, electricity, in the effort to pre-
sent upon the stage the most novel and
captivating representations Of the mar
veis of nature, in such form and with
such accessories and accomplishments as
shall at once entertain the careless, in
struct the thoughtful and draw all eyes
to the wonders and charms of modern
science. The two "Urania" entertain
ments, From Chaos to Man; or the
Seven Ages Of the World" and "a trip
to the Moon," will be given at Music
Hall on Friday and Saturday evenings.

profit and pleasure. The original impulse
to this work was given by providing for the
wants of those who had not good advantage

actual work that an arrangement of sub
jects and lectures could be made which
enables any man to add to his knowledge
and quicken his interest in personal study.

patrons and friends are those who have
graduated in other schools, while it's found

was founded.
College education. as it has been hitherto
