The Democratic party was never
licked by one licking; never killed with
one killing; never died with one death,
and was never buried with one funeral:
1t has been known to kick the lid off
it's coffin and score.-Washingto
Times.
The New York restaurant keeper
who has undertaken to advertise his
establishment by compelling the wait
resses in his employ to wear boomers
while on duty ought to be arrayed in
skirts and ridden on rail, says the
Boston Herald.
Mr.. Joseqh B. McCulIagh, of the ST.
Louis GIobe-Democrat, who is proml-
nently mentioned for the Missouri
senatorshlp, is the same man who once
defined journalism as the art of know
ing where hi was going to break
loose next in order to have a reporter
on hand to furnish the details.
ssBut don't like Mr.. Jones, mamma.
Why, he can't even pronounce the
French name on the bill of fare. Now,
Algy Dillwyn-
s.Can pronounce more than he can
pay for. My dear, / have arrived at
the age of reason. Take the man who
can pay for more than he can pro-
nounce New York Recorder.
According to the income tax reports
for England there are sixty-siX per-
sons in that country who have annual
incomes of 100000; 1000 whose in
comes range between these figures and
$4,000; 1900 whose incomes range
between $4,000 and $4,000; 5000 who
have incomes between $4,000 and
$4,000, and $1,000 between $4,000 and
$1,000.
The directors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad have been assured by an
electrical expert that they can save
IS 200 900 year in coal bills by using
an electric motor fed with current
produced by gas engine. As at the
latest test an electric engine drew the
heaviest load ever drawn by single
locomotive, practical railroad men are
beginning to think they may be
good deal closer to a revolution than
they dreamed of a year ago.
Milwaukee has one saloon for every
1876 of population, having more than
any other city. In Boston the license
costs 81, 500; in Philadelphia, $1,000;
in Chicago, $500; and in New York
5000. This accounts for New York
having more saloons than the other big
cities The Washington Post recently
printed letter from Congregational
clergyman saying that 1.-THE people of
Milwaukee are noted for their excep-
tionaI sobriety. In that city the popu-
lation is mostly German, and they
drink lite but beer.
The setting machine is just in
its beginnings, but already a large
number of men are out of work or are
working for lower wages because of
them. 1t is remarkable that no Juror
has been created. There has been no
violence, such as occurred when the
spinning wheel was displaced. This is
a testimony TO our times and also to
the hand compositors, who form one
of the most intelligent of trades. The
type-setting machines mark great
step forward in the Art Preservative;
they will multiply the benefits of print
ing and put them in the reach Of all peo-
pie. The cost of the machines will yeta
while prevent general use Of them;
Ut that barrier will surely be remov-
ed. But what is to become of the hui
man type settlers? one may anxiousiy
inquire. Here are thousands of men
who have served long apprenticeship
and mastered a difficult trade, about to
be replaced by machinery. There will
be some friction inevitable in such de
cided changes as this; but hardship
will no be brought upon those who ac'
cept the situation. A machine will
hardly do more than three mems work
and they will increase the output OF
printed matter at least that much
Instead of reducing prices, papers will
be enlarged, as is already to be seen in
the papers of the cities. Printers will
become operators, newspapers will
publish more matter, editors will
write more and have more writer's
and the public will get the benefit
Would that every invention worked as
directly for the people in general as
this one.-Biblical Recorder.
