. WHY THAT VETO7
Cleveland dominate

Cleveland dominated Tammany, Tam
many ruled New York and New York
controlled the Democratic party OF the
| country, SO Growers nomination was
forced. His dominancy of Tammany
came of a grip he got upon the organiza-
ton curing his first presidency and his
after association and dealings with it.
Following his second Inauguration it.
became plain to the whole people that
the tie that held Grover Cleveland and
Tammany was one of mutual obliga-
tons. Il was Tammany at the behest
of its Wall street wing that convened
congress in extra session for the repeal
of the Sherman silver bill, as it was
Tammany that forced the unexpected
issue of fifty millions of gold bearing
bonds. a general recognition of these
facts, the connection with the attitude
of the administration touching the tariff
question. tended to a general distraction
in the ranks of the party which
in eiecting Mr.. Cleveland had becom e
the slave of Tammany and Of Wall
street. Especially did the southern
and western wings of that party protest,
one as to silver the other as to free raw
materials. But a compromise which
promised harmony was hit upon, name
ly the coinage Of the seignioTage and
certain senate committee amendments
to the tariff schedule. The Bland bill,
in pursuance of such compromise, was
passed, but only by hard fight, which
after being held for nine days was. at
the last hour, vetoed by their president,
who 1T Is seen, can't comprehend that
there are any financial or commercial
interests in this country outside of Wall
street worth considering.
That veto Is the last nail in the coffin
of the Democratic party. No opposition
Is necessary to It's defeat, and nothing
which Its majority in congress can pos
sibly do with the tariff will save it. Its
own members in the absence of Republi-
can opposition would defeat any nomi-
nee named by New York, and DO Demo-
cratic candidate can be otherwise
named. The letters forged by the gold
monopoly are ranking the flesh nearest
the heart of the commonalty which con-
stitutes the majority of the party ofJeffer-
son, Jackson and Grover. The presidents
arguments are yelled only in thiniy
disguised apology of utter helplessness
which even thick-headed Democrats
cannot fail TO see. Wall street, which
has no politics, unless its tool, the Tam
many organization, should be so de-
nominated, called their servant down
and he has obeyed, if not with alacrity
none the less abjectly or surely.
The people of this country are for sill
yer. gold and treasury notes on parity,
are for protection of labor and all its
products, against Tammany dictation
and Wall street monopoly and the fate
of the party headed by Grover Cleve-
land and dominated by these powerful
influences is done for at least genera
ton, and that veto proved the incidental
weight that broke its back.

WING FEATHERS.
The Marvellous Mechanical Provisions of
Nature.

Feathers are peculiar TO birds, and IN
their typical form have shaft or stiff
central rod fixed at one end into the
two opposite sides of this shaft grow
thin, fat plates, constituting the web
or vane Of the feather. This web, how
ever, is not d simple, solid structure
like piece of paper, or even the leaf
of plant. 1t is composed of an i'm
mense number of horny flaments
placed side by side and set obliquely
on the shaft, to which they are fixed
by their inner ends
To understand what follows, would
ask my reader, saws a writer in Good
Words, to take a goose quill. or
q feather of the wing OF any
bird that may be at hand, and
look at it carefully. He will see that
these separate flsments of which
the vane is composed. technically
called barbs, although really distinct
from each other and only attached to
the common stem at their base, have a
curious tendency to cling together, so
as to form a continuous structure, and
that it takes a slight but distinct
amount of force to separate them. and
that after they have been pulled or
forced apart, if they are brought in
contact again by gently stroking the
feather in the right direction, or by
waving it briskly through the air, they
viii join again as firmly as before He
will also find that this operation may
be repeated an indefinite number Of
times.
OF all the marvellous mechanical
adaptations we meet with in nature
there Is nothing more wonderful than
that which is seen in.every feather of a
birds wing. The object is evidently 20

A CEMETERY FOR PET DOGS.
London Has One-Many Gravestones will
Tender Inscriptions.

London Has One-Many Grsvestones with
Tender Inscriptions.
London has pet-dog cemetery. In
this town when a very dear and be-
loved doggie dies he must be buried all
alone by himself, because the regular
cemeteries have officials and lot own
ers who object to receiving other than
human corpses within their gates.
The London dogs cemetery is near the
Victoria gate in Hyde park.
In the rear of the gate-keeper's
lodge is plot of ground which looks
like tiny garden. In the midst of
the flowers, however, are a number of
small marble tombstones- Arranged
in rows, each bearing some tender in
scription, with tiny gravel paths be-
tween and an arch of ivy to greet
the spectator, one counts about forty
of these pretty tokens of remembrance.
'Poor Little Prince" is the inscrip-
ton over the grave Of the duke of
Cambridge's dead-anG-gone pet Others
among the dead have the names Of
Jack. Tip, Topsy, Flo, Sprite, Vic,
Darling and Zoe. Each grave has It's
well-trimmed bushes of evergreen, ard
here and there arc ornaments in the
shape Of large white shells
Very few people in London, apart
from those whose pets sleep their
last in this peaceful little spot, are
aware of its existence. Should it be
duplicated on this side of the Atlantic,
there is no doubt the tiny burial plots
would be readily sold. The Pet Dog
society, for instance, would naturally
be interested in such an institution,
and many tender-hearted women and
some animal-loving men would be glad
to bury their dead pets in Just this sort

An Ancient Race.

The Armenians are one of the oldest
races in the world Their country is
mentioned by Xenoehon and Eek iel,
and in the cuneifor IN inscriptions Of
Babylon and Assyria. All the nations
that surrounded them have passed
awatsT, but they remain, though their
country has been harried with fire and
sword for centuries. The permanence
OF the Armenian race has been ascribed
to the virtue of their women and the
exceptional purity and stability of
their family life. Even in their heather
days polygamy was unknown to them.
They have been Christian nation for
more than fifteen hundred years, and
have undergone perpetual persecution
for their faith from the surrounding
oriental people.
