The stnmns n..appearrd.

In 1905 when jamestown, \. Y, was
first settled. the inhabitants hit upon a
novel plan for clearing of the public
common. The plot set apart Tor that
purpose was covered with trees, which
we're gradually cut down by the settlers
at odd times when not otherwise engag-
ed. But the stumps still remained. and
their removal was a problem that caused
many discussions among the ely
fathers. At last thoy struck brilliant
idea. whereby their object was not
only attained. but the Incorporate mem
hers OF the community were taught a
salutary lesson. IL was duly enacted
that the penalty FOR getting drunk was
70 dig up a large stump, but u the
culprit was only moderately upsy ne
was assigned 10 smaller on. II was
not long before every stump disappear

LONDoy,s yEWBIG BRIDGE.
The Hydraulic Principle Adopted to admit

ofIarge vessels Pas.tug.
The great new bridge across the
Thames. opposite the Tower of London.
is now nearly finished, says the New
York Evening Post. II has been built
upon the Bascule principle, In three
spans, with two great masonry piers
rising from the bed OF the river. At this
point the Thames is go feet broad, and
the depth Of water IN midchannel varies
according 10 the tides, fr0m thirty feet
TO thirty-five feet six inches AZ a dis
lance Of 30 feet from either bank these
great piers-2G feet in length aud 100
feet brOad-are built, rising from foun-
datons twentv-seven feet below the
river bed excavated IN caissons through
the London clay They cost including
staging. fll0.122 The masonry is Of fine
ly jointed Cornish granite lined Internal
ly with brick-work. Each pier contains
a chamber in which works the heavily
weighted balance OF the lower roadway
lear, each OF these two leaves weighing
little short Of 900 tons W hen the TWO
leaves, each 100 feet long, are closed,
the lower roadway of the bridge Is
practicable for all kinds OF traffic, pedes-
tisn and wheeled but the space of
thirty feet only between roadway and
high water Is insufficient TO allow of
masted vessels passius. So ~ 70 allow tan
ships 10 pass that the draWDrldge pfin-
ciple comes into play The powerful
hydraulic machinery placed ar the
Surrey side of the bridge is capable of
raising the 1000 tons of iron and steel
composing this movable roadway in two
minutes. and it is confidently declared
that the opening of the roadway the

| and raonopolies We don't know whether
1t Will or not. No man can say. All
| we can say Of II is that 1t is the Identical
| principle which. under Republican admin
istration, has built up trusts and monop-
| oies, and, we see no reason why IL the
| principle produced them under Republican
| rule IL will not equally produce them
under Democratic rule. II this Is De-
mocracy. then we have beer misled about
Democracy all our life.
Another idea stated In the extract we
have quoted is just as foreizn TO all Of
our conceptions OF Democracy. Mr.. Cieve-
land says: These gifts should be the Will
ing benefactlons OF a government whose
highest function is the promotion OF the
welfare of the people" 1t is not posi-
bic TO state a doctrine more entirely at
war with The Times ideas OF Democracy
than this. 1t contains every element OF
patcrnalism and socialism. The Times
denies absolutely that II is the highest
function IN government TO give beheiac-
tons or to promote the welfare Of the
people This is the Socialists proposition.
The Socialist looks TO his government TO
take care OF him and cqffer upon him the
blessings which the Democrat says each
man should work for and secure for him
self by his own labor. The Democrat
says that it is the business Of government
TO prevent one citizen from trcspassing
upon another. but when that is DONE each
citizen is to work out his own destiny by
his own efforts IN his own way. The
Socialist says the government should own
al property and control all employments
and should dole out each to all citizens as
the government thinks best Mr.. Cleve-
land distinctly repudiates the Democratic
idea and adopts that Of the Socialist. If
this is Democracy, then The Times must
unlearn all that il has heretofore learned.
The extract We have quoted is the Rcpub-
lean and Socialist idea Of government
pure and simple. II Is protection in sub
stance, and paternalism rampant.

ceeded from parlor +, where meet

10 h, held. AT $3.50 the business men
began 20 leave the room, but the
crowd grew thicker aud more Ill
tempered.
Alto O'Clock the mnnagemento f the
hotel ordered the electric lights turned
out. For O long time the excited
dlsputants refused TO leave the
chamber.
After all the row was over u was per.
feclly apparent that the meeting mad
been purposely broken up by agang who
boosted that they represented tho n
uustTial Alliance. Ono member OF the
Populst party said it Wa the "Carey'

"Just before the last election they
formed what they called Republican
Induntrial AliiancU,' but were not
recognized by the labor organizations.
They represented TO the lnbOr ofganiza'
tione OF the West that they had some
power here, Tut failed To get money
out OF them. This" he said, sis their
revenge. They pulled the leg Of Tue
Republicans last election, nnd thought
they could do 30 again."
A miller factor OF the disturbance
was handful Of self.aiyled Populate,
who were sore because this meeting
WINS not held under the direct auspices
OF that party. The last straw consisted
OF n general feeling OF derision, which
vented itself among tho minority Of
