TAMMANY IN THE BACKGROUND.

A year or so ago Tammany Hall had
fair chance of dominating the politics of
the nation. 1t had joined hands with the
Albany machine to control State politics,
and through the State it expected TO dictate
to the Democratic national convention as
to the nomination for 1892. When the State
convention met in February Senator Hill
seemed to have walkover. He bad the
New York delegation solid. and solid New
York delegations had been in the habit or
giving the law TO Democratic national con-
yentions. But the splendid visions of the
Tammany chiefs have pretty much faded
away. The Democratic national conyen-
ton did not take Its Presidential candidate
at the hands of the New York delegation.
The candidate it did select was made inde-
pendent of New York by other States. New
York's electoral vote only swelled the ma
j0rity of the successful candidate, thus de-
priviDg that State of any especial claim to
consideration. 1t Is now said that Bourke
Cochran and Mayor Gilroy, both TamDany
chiefs, have arrived at the conclusion that
Tammany should co9ine its efforts to local
affairs. 1t is advised to keep out OF State
politics. The city of New York Is a tOler-
ably fat goose which is so used to being
plucked that 1t would think something had
gone wrong if the annual pluck should be
milder than usual. The annual revenue OF
New York Is about $50, 00O.000, Of which
perhaps one-third is pickings. The people
of the United States are not at all anxious
to have Tammany methods applied to the
national Government.

THE NEW ERA.

Tomorrow the stars and stripes will be
hoisted on the steamer New York, belong
ing to the International Navigation Com
pany. 1t is Washington's birthday. and
ceremony which marks a fresh start in
American oceanic shipping may well be
participated in by officials OF the Cabinet.
The New York and her sister ship, the
Paris, are Clyde built, and were admitted to
American registry under an act Of Congress
passed last year. This concession is condi-
tiOnal upon the company undertaking to
have several steamers of like size constructed
in American shpyards. Thus, in couple
of years, a feet of frst-class passenger
vessels. as swift as any af1oat. will be en-
gagged in the transatlantic trade. 1t Is
revival Of American commerce in a notable
direction, and the expansion is certain not
to rest with this effort. We are now in
position TO build as fine steamers OF steel
or iron as any other country. and the blame
will be ours il we do not take foremost
position in the foreign carrying'trsde.
The growth of our foreign trade warrants
the ship-owner in competing for a great
accession of business as a carrier between
the United States and other countries. In
1892 the declared value of imports into the
United States was 1927. 402, 462, and the de-
clared value of exports. both domestic and
foreign, was $1,000. 278. 14S, giving a total
foreign trade of 1885,. $50. 6l0. In reality
the amount is considerably greater. there
being a material difference between actual
and declared values. The value Of this trade
across the Atlantic between the United
States and the United Kingdom, France and
Germany alone may be estimated from the
following figures for 1892: United Kingdom.

A CHANGE OF METHODS.

Supervisor Ryan is Indignant that people
who haunt the City Hall should descend to
petty larceny in their determination to get as
much as possible out of the public. Any
thing in the line of personal property is
whsked off almost as soon as exposed. The
jabitor says things have to be bolted to the
floor or they VIII walk away. Sofas and
expensive Brussels carpets are diverted to
private uss. There are guards or watch
men sufficient 10 number to make half
hour surveys Of the entire building, but
these guards never happen along at the
right time. The things they are employed
to protect disappear all the same.
The only explanation that occurs to Us is
that there is something wrong In the City
Hall atmosphere. We have all heard of the
honest rustic legislator who admitted that
he was seized with strong desire to steal
something as soon as he came within sight
of the State Capitol. He had never stolen
anything since bOyhO0d, at the period when
Jam and Jelly are often irresstibly tempt
Ing. but in short time tbs honest rustic
legislator was leader Of bOodlers. He
would do things more experienced boodlers
had found that it was not safe to do. The
seeds Of the desire to Doodle were in the
atmosphere. So it has seemed TO be with
our City Hall. We elected thoroughly re-
spectacle men in most cases to fill the vari-
Gus offices, but how few came cut without
having shown that their respectability
was mere sham.
Oar unfinished City Hall has had curl
Gus history. 1t was a fraud aud a delusion
in the start. 1t was designed to cost 81, 500,-
coo. and has cost S5,OO0,0OO The taxpayer
has been cheated in every conceivable man
ner. Through many changes of parties the
80 per cent average of steal has been OBJ
served with incoasiderable fluctuations.
The methods now being adopted indicate
that the palmy days oil boOdIeism are over.

as much in the market as the bullion
In the gold dollar. The conclusion of the
Herald writer that the condition of equality
exacted makes the financial plank OF the
Democratic party plain gold standard
plank is not warranted. The plank first
demands the use of both gold and silver as
money. 1t next requires that the dollar OF
one shall be equal in intrinsic and exchange
able value to the dollar of the others. How
can both these requirements be met? How
except by a policy which shall raise the
price of silver to equality with gold? Mr..
Cleveland has no moral right to consider
himself at liberty to accept the second de-
mand and ignore the first The first is In
fact fundamental. the second incidental.
The first says that both gold and silver shall
be used as money; the second makes res
eryation as to the use Of both metals until
such time as equality of value may be re-
stored.

lines Of almost infinite variety can thus be

THE DEMOCRATIC MONEY PLANK.

A writer In the New York Herald claims
thatthe Democratic platform of 1892 contains
a plain gold standard plank. Still the
gold standard plank holds to the use of both
gold and silver as standard money. The
yellow color Of this plank is found in the
fact that further on it requires that the
dollar unit Of coinage for both shall be of
equal intrinsic and exchangeable value.
This requirement is construed as meaning
that there shall be no silver dollar coined
until the bullion In the silver dollar Is worth

Dresden Glass.
New York Sun.

The manufacturers of glass in Dresden pro-
duces some of their finest wares In furnaces
with chambers and compartments instead Of
pots. The furnace is constructed to take
advantage of the increase of density which
glass acquires as it becomes more melted,
and consists Of two large chambers separ-
ated in the middle by wall. In the first
compartment the batch is put, and as the
glass under the action of the gaseous fuel
commences to melt it flows through a pas
sage left open in the separation wall and
reaches the second chamber Directly
after leaving the latter it passes over low
wall built across the furnace, and in so do
ing is exposed in a very thin layer to the
action OF the heat, and rapidly becomes
quite liquid. The glass now continues its
course for ward, and. reaching a third wall
having an opening at the bottom, it gradu-
ally comes to the front of the furnace or
chamber, and from this it is drawn for
working. the operation both of melting and
working being thus made continuous, and
the heat is regulated in each chamber to
suit the purposes required.
