Twcnty-thrce Years a Republic.

Sept i, 1870, imperialism failed France in her hour of direst need, and she shook its imbecile remnants off and proclaimed herself republic. The fact that Frances twenty-third anniversary as republic falls on our own Labor day this year should make that day in America doubly cheering and interesting, especially to American citizens of French birth.
 It will be day doubly cheering and interesting to the patriots of France With hearts swelling with thankfulness they may well sing triumphant repub- ican p9ans, for their country has es- caped this year from the deadliest peril that has menaced her since German cannon boomed around the very walls of the beautiful city. The republic of France has survived Boulangism and destroyed it. She has survived and de- stroyed monarchy imperialism, and final ly the most grievous danger of all, the Panama scandal, which has shaken her
 to the center. yet not overthrown her. One of the leaders of the Radical Re publican party today. Charles Floquet, is the man who first raised the cry of the republic g years ago and kindled the flame that burned down forever the | throne of kings in France. He has stood
 by the republic ever since, and France
 has stood by him even through the blackness of the Panama accusations
 France has been purified as by fire, and
 her public men have learned their les
 son. It will not need to be repeated. America stretches out her hand in lov-
 ing greeting to her beautiful sister of
 France, but bids her not to be too hot
 tempered and aggressive in dealing with
 other nations, especially those weaker
 :han herself.

According to reports, there are now more than 90 abandoned vessels floating wild and estray over the great lines of ocean travel in the Atlantic. At any time they might come in collision with q sailing vessel or passenger steamer and send it to the bottom of the sea. Thus 1t may have been that the Naronic was lost. by having one of the derelicts drive down upon her ill storm. The com mercial nations of Europe and our own government should mutually take in hand the task of finding these half sunk n wrecks and destroying them. Some times they ride SD low in the water as scarcely to be discernible. The Philadel- phia Telegraph suggests that this would be fitting service for our navy in the present time of peace to sink, burn and blow up the floating hulks before the stormy season sets in"

A WORD OF ADVICE.


 Surface indications point to an under current of trouble in the local demo- cratic ranks. The members of the town committee have been unable to agree upon & chairman apd the preliminary election work, which should be well ID hand, has apparently been neglected. It is not easy to place the responsibility for the existing state of affairs. History simply repeats itself. In former years much the same policy has been pursued by democratic town committee men and it has always resulted in the loss of votes: the party has always been the sufferer.
 The DEMOCRAT would suggest, in the the interest of harmony, that the mem. bers of the committee get together again and discuss the situation in a calm and dispassionate manner. For the nonce they should fo g,t the Tast ard rather avoid what is to come. Try ar appeal to reason before resorting tC threats. If necessary, make a small personal sacrifice for the party's good Remember that internal dissensions ir former years have cost the democratic party a mayor, city clerk and first select man and learn lesson therefrom.
 The puny efforts of the republican organ to stir up old feuds should only result in more firmly cementing tho party together.

How to Make Ruttermi1k niscuits.

To the country wife they are not un- common, but to the city married woman they are rare. Neither yeast nor baking powder is required in their composition Take quart of buttermilk into which sift flower enough to make thin batter. Cover the mixture over in crock and allow it to rise until morning. Then take the usual amount of flour used for the family, with which salt and soda are sifted, using One-fourth teasPoonful of the latter ingredient. Use lard uf suffi- cient quantity. thoroughly mixed with the right proportion of flour. Then take the batter, which serves in the place of water. Care must be used ill not getting the dough too thin to roll. After the bread is ready for the stove. cook in a quick oven. The biscuits will be found far richer and sweeter than the ordinary water and baking powder ones.

THE FIRST ACT

No surprise was felt by any body when the house passed the bill for the uncon- ditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver law. So nearly all of the members had announced in advance how they would vote that the result was a foregone conclusion days ago, sltough the majority for the repeal was larger than the most sanguine anti silver men expected. The man who ac- cepts this action of the house as an in dication that a majority of its members oppose silver as money makes a mistake. It indicates nothing of the kind. On the contrary it is claimed that a ma jor- ity of the house favors bi-metalism, as will be shown by future legislation. Many who voted for repeal did so be- cause they agreed with President Cleve- land in believing that the purchase of silver bullion by. the government was | the main cause of the country's finan- cial troubles and that it ought to be stopped, if for no other reason, because the business sentiment of the country is so strongly opposed to it.
 Although the Wilson repeal bill will now go to the senate it is not probable that it will be acted upon, because the Norhees repeal bill, with the clause de- claring bi-metalism to be the policy of the United States, is already before the senate. Although the opponents of un- conditional repeal still maintain bold front in the senate, since the silver speeches of Senators Norhees and Hill last week, both of whom took strong ground in favor of repeal, the sentiment in favor of repeal has been steadily growing, and it is now the general opinion that a majority of the senate will vote for repeal when the bill can be voted upon, but when that will be nc man can predict, certainly not until after there shall have been one of the most memorable struggles in the annals of the senate, as the senators from the silver-producing states will make use oi levery known parliamentary weapon to prevent a vote.

A Newspaper Trust,

"The American public are fond of bonds," once remarked Jay Gould. There is no-reason to doubt, therefore, posed New England newspaper combi- nation will be taken readily. The Jour nalist is authority for the statement that the newspapers of New England are forming great combination or trust to increase earnings and reduce operating expenses. The daily papers of the six New England states are entering into the organization, The Journalist writer says. It is only one more extension of the principle of combination or cooper ation which has wrought such a revolu- ton in the industries of the day.
 Ten million dollars is the sum that it is believed the capitalists will require to purchase the newspapers they want. The plan proposed is to issue per cent bonds to the amount of $5,0O0. .OOO. then to issue stoCk-preferred and common preferred stock bringing per cent divi- dends and common stock returning div idends of whatever amounts are left over after payment Of the preferred div idends. The newspapers will retain their present political and social lean ings, but will be under one central finan- cial management. Under this plan newspapers will not cost any more to the public. but will earn more for their owners. With united management, for instance, it is said the Boston Globe and Herald would save $3O.O .OOO year in the one item of newspaper trains.
 An important advantage would be that the combination would lease it, own telegraph lines and employ its own operators to transmit news dispatches tc the journals it controlled. Thus the small papers could get the latest news and the telegraph expenses of the com bination would still be reduced to 6 much lower figure than the large sep arate journals now pay for this service.

At last it has really been found. ac ,ording to patent office chemist-the method of extracting aluminium cheap iy and thoroughly from its native clay. The man who invented the new process lives in Duluth, and he has succeeded ill making chemical combinations hitherto pronounced impossible by the most ex- pert professors. One would think by this time professors would have learned better than to say anything is impossi- ble. but they have not, and the Duluth man has given them one more surprise. The method is q chemical one. quite dis associated from electricity, and by its application we are promised that alumin- ium will become cheaper than copper. Then We may indeed look for revolutions in metallic manufacturing.
