How the Democrats Expect to Garry New
York.
A prominent Cleveland democrat of
New York, in stating his reasons for
the belief that the Empire state will
cast its vote for Cleveland, confidently
reckons upon the thousands Of votes of
aewly naturalized aliens, freshly made
voters for the occasion, who are sure to
put in ballots for the democratic ticket;
and he significantly adds: "As they al
ways do" It is Of the utmost impor-
tance to the democrats to carry New
York. Harrison can be elected with
the thirty-six electoral votes Of New
York against him; but these votes, 1t
Is very certain, will be cast for the re-
publican ticket. With the democrats
the situation is different. The loss of
New York is tantamount to the final
collapse Of their party and its candi-
dates. Unless Cleveland carries New
York, he will not stand ghost of q
chance of election. Accordingly, his
party is preparing to make the utmost
efforts to secure the vote of the Empire
state. Against the loss Of voters who
abandon free trade. and join the ranks
for protection, against the thousands
of new voters, now come Of age, most
" native born and for protection, the
democrats count upon the courts as
naturalization mills to grind out voters
from the immigrant class now pouring
in from the slums of Europe. It is to
be hoped that the cholera regulations
excluding immigrants may last until
after the election. If they do, it will
result In large diminution of the DEM

WHAT sUsTAiNs THE MOON.

The Earth Keeps It from Flying Further
Away.
We have read how the coffin of Mo.
hammed was poised without support in
the mosq ne of the faithful, from which
all unbelievers were so rigidly ex.
cluded; no ma terial support was neces.
sary to sustain the remains of the
prophet; the body itself seemed ever ON
the point Of following the departed
spirit to the realms of bliss A peren-
nial miracle was indeed necessary to
sustain the revered sacrophagusi in space.
The infidel, no doubt, is somewhat
sceptic about this marvellous phenome-
non, and now, as ever, the truth is
stranger than fiction. Far over our
heads there is v asst globe larger and
heavier than mi lions Of sarcophagi; no
material support is rendered to that
globe, yet there it is sustained from day
to day, from year to year, from century
to century.
What is 1t that prevents the moon
falling. That Is the question which now
lies before us It is assuredly the case
that the earth continually attracts the
moon. Toe effect Of the attraction is
now, however, shown in actually draw.
ing the moon loser to the earth, for
this, as we have seen, does not happen,
but the attracti on Of the earth keeps
the moon from going further away
from the earth than II would otherwise
do. Suppose. for instance, that the at,
traction Of the earth were suspended.
the moon would no longer follow its
orbit, but would sta rt of in q straight
line In continuation n of the direction in
which 1t was moving at the moment
when the earth's action was intercepted.
What Newton did W as to show. from
the circumstances Of the moons dis.
tance and movement, that it was at
tracted by tho earth with force Of the
same descrip tion as that by which the
same globe attracted the apple, the dif.
ference being that the intensity of the
force becomes weaker the greater the
distance Of the attracted body from the
earth. In fact, the attraction Of the
earth on . ton Of matter at the distance
OF the moon would be withstood by an
exertion not greater than that which
would suffice to sustain about three.
