The first steps were taken by the Park Board
yesterday to open the north end Of Van Court
landt Park to the public. This section OF the
1.1OO-acre tract is a dense forest with not n
road running through it. The residents OF
Woodlawn on the east OF this forest are shut
out by it from the use and enjoyment of tho
improved part Of the park. They pctitioned
the Park Commissioners to build a road for
them through the woods. and Landscape
Architect vaux and Superintendent Parsons
were directed to report on the feasibility OF
building such road southeasterly to Mosholu
avenue. Such a drive could be made very
beautiful. Mr.. NJ. c. Burton. who appeared

How Science Helps Industry.

One OF the most interesting documents
published in connection with the Chicago
Fair is the official catalogue OF the German
contribution. The whole field of German
manufactures Is covered by this publica-
ton. but the most striking feature OF it
is the proof OF the extent to which OF late
years science has co6pcrated with indus
try. 1t is due to this cooperation that in
certain departments Germany has been
able to excel competitors who at an earlier
date seemed destined to command for their
products the markets of the world.
We may take, by way Of illustration, two
departments OF chemical manufacture,
namely, the production OF chcmico- pharmn-
ccutical preparations. and that OF artificial
coloring substances. The former industry
has acquired in Germany develop
ment unparalleled in any other coun-
try Of the world. From the statistics
presented in tha catalogue to which we
have referred. it appears that in 1891
there were in that country no fewer than
52l factories engaged In the manufacture of
chemicO- pharmaceutical compounds. These
factories employ more than 300 work peo-
pie. drawing annually in wages upward Of
$31500O0 Tho excess Of the exports over
the imports OF such preparations is valued
at more than SO, ,40o, 900: and as the home con-
sumption is computed to represent at least
an equal sum. the total value of the pro-
duction OF suOh chemical compounds in
Germany may be set down at about
$l3.O00.0OO year.
Still more creditable Is tho record of tho
dye industry of Germany. The manufac-
ture OF artificial dye stufrs originated
in England. to which country, however,
France soon became u formidable rival.
At present, on the other hand, nine-tcnths
of all the artificial dyes made in the world
are produced in the German empire or
the twenty or more factories there devoted
to this industry. three of the largest are
represented at Chicago. Ono OF these, with
n capital of 81 100000. employs 600 men and
30 women. Another. with a capital of 50. .OOO.-
900. gives occupation to 1000 workmen.
besides requiring II technical staff of 300,
and it fabricates nearly every dye stuff
known. A third factory. which has capi-
tai of si. .125. 600, finds employment for 1000
work people. and is said 10 be the largest
producer OF artificial coloring matters in
the world We may add that the three fac
tories here mentioned employ together no
fewer than 17s accomplished chemists, in
,luding some OF thu strongest intellects
now engaged in chemical research.
These facts bear out the avernlent Of DR..

Put the Platform on Every Desk.

uO ShO oh ENCTy DeSh.
During the Presidential canvass OF 1892
not less than 1,75O.OOO printed copies Of the
Chicago platform were circulated by the
Democratic National Committee in charge
OF Mr.. CLEvELAND's canvass. A majority
OF these copies were printed in tho Eng
lish language. but some were in German
for the use OF the German-American Demo-
cratic Union. in which Mr.. STEINwAY and
his associates were conspicuous; some were
printed In Bohemian. Polish. and Rouma-
nian for circulation among Governor ALT
GELD 8 constituents in Illinois: some were
In French. a few In Spanish. and large
number in Italian, Russian. and Swedish.
A few copies in Portuguese were sent to
New Bedford and to San Francisco.
The Democratic National Committee was
diligent and judicious in circulating the
platform. 1t was scattered broadcast
AL requests for additional copies were
promptly honored. Packages contain
Ing these documents were forwarded to
neighboring or remote points on demand.
Democratic orators, in expounding the prn-
ciples OF the party and the merits OF its
candidates. referred frequently to the Chi
cago platform. Nor did they have n mo-
nopoly OF this. Republican orators referred
to it, too. They sought to stampede the
voters by expounding the tariff plank, and
telling what evils and disasters its ac-
ceptance would bring upon the people OF
this country.
Many Democratic journals In interior
cities kept the principal declarations OF the
platform standing in a conspicuous posi-
tion at the head of their leading columns,
Many Republican journals In and out of
New York referred almost daily to the
Democratic platform. denounclng it with
increasing intensity as the day Of election
and Republican defeat approached.
By all these means. methods and me-
diums. by tracts and pamphlets, In hail.
forum. or basbecue, In the columns of
newspapers. and In various languages, the
voters OF the United States. during the five
months OF 1892. between the period OF June
roses and November twilight were made
thoroughly acquainted with the Chicago
platform OF the Democracy.
Notwithstanding this: Notwithstanding
the popular approval expressed at the polls
OF the pledges 1t contained and the principles
1t enunciated; Notwithstanding the supreme
obligation which always rests upon vic
torlous party to keep faith with the peo-
pie who intrust it with power; and not
withstanding the diffusion of knowledge
among the voters as to its contents, there
appear to be some individuals among the
45 Democratic Senators and 22O Democratic
Representatives who are to assemble on
Aug. 7. who have forgotten all about tho
Chicago platform adopted last June. or
have hazy notions concerning its ideas.

What is "McKinleyismnY

We agree entirely with our Mugwump
friends Of the Evening Post in the opinion
that those people who voted against Nc
Kinleyism' are not likely to turn around
suddenly and proclaim that McKinleyism
Is right"
McKinleyism is word that Is often used
nowadays. but we do not remember ever
having seen it satisfactorily defined.
Does it mean merely the enactment by a
Republican Congress Of a protective tariff
framed by Mr.. MCKINLEY? If so. we do not
perceive in what essential respect it differs
from the enactment by a Democratic Con-
gress Of protective tariff framed by Mr..
MCMILLAN or Mr.. SPRINGER. or Mr.. WILSON
OF West Virginia.
1t is quite true that the people voted
against McKinleyism. meaning the present
tariff; but they did much more than that
They voted against protection in any form
or to any extent: declaring in language
that cannot be misinterpreted that protec-
tion is unconstitutional. The Democracy
pledged itself not merely to repeal the Nc
KNLEY tariff. but to abolish protection.
Perhaps this Is what the Epening Post
means. What 1t should say is that those
people who voted against protection are not
likely to turn around now and proclaim
that protection is right.
. There Is no excuse for employing vague
and imperfect expressions when precise
terms are available; and at a time SO crit-
cal in the experience OF the Democratic
party. when its good faith is under test and
Its honor at stake. Democrats and their
allies cannot be too exact in their choice Of

the correspondent, that some announce

Probably Mr. SMITH wanted to consult

bly, the secrecy Of the appointment is due to
some faint perception in Mr.. SMITHS mind
that the Hon. DINK BOTTs wouldn't ap-
prove tho rcwarding Of SMITHS damage

For THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT,
Be Cheerful.

Dear readers, one and all, does it ever
strike you to ask yourself the ever per-
picking question, "What am l doing
to make the world happy-what am l
doing in it? l was reading, the other

marks which thought might be help
full to others as we'll as myself and I
jItted them done intending to send them
to our department. To those who are
in search of some rule to be cheerful,
don't set in the corner and NOPE because
things are not going just as you would
like. This is a trait that grows out of
childish wilfulness. DON'T bring up the
little ones to think they must have their
own way and if they don't have it to
think they are ill-treated. Bend their
will to yours and once bent, no further
trouble need be apprehended. A dis
agreeable face will not alter a disagree
able fact Try to extract some grain of
comfort out of your adversities. Never
despair. IND whatever circumstances
you labor, be cheerful and hope on.
