RARE POLITICS.

Close upon the heels of the Republican
city convention of Detroit, which nomi-
mated Mayor Pingree unanimously to sue
coed himself, comes the Democratic con-
vention which nominated a labor leader
for mayor, by a considerable ma jOrity,
over a particular personal friend of the
President of the United States, Hon.
Don. NJ. Dickinson by name.
The country at large had been led to
suppose that Mayor Pingrce was entirely
persona grata to the Detroit wage work
ers of all parties, but in the so-called Dcni-
ocratic contest of yesterday II is in evil
dence that not only is Pingree not the
sole choice of the wage workers, but that
even so pronounced friend of the Ad-
ministrat ion as Mr.. Dickinson is not sat-
isfactory to either Democrats or wage
workers.
This is, indeed, fine stew in the small
political pot of Detroit, and furnishes
abundant food for reflection. Tue chief
ingredient, however, is that a straight
Republican was not sat isfactory to the
labor element oft he party, that so"straight''
a Democrat al Don. M. Dick inson was not
tolerable to the wage earning mass of the
Democrats, and that the labor element
ruled in both parties, to the discontinue
of the capt. alists and party wheel horses
who usually manage politics.

CUBAN HEADQUARTERS.

The suggestion OF prominent profess
sional man, who is one of the leaders in
the work of arranging for the demonstra-
ton in support of the Cuban rebellion,
that a permanent organization be formed
in America, with headquarters at WASH
!ngton, to promote Cuban freedom, and
closer commercial relations between that
country and America, Is one which will
meet with a hearty affirmative.
Such an organization would of itself give
the Cuban cause a tremendous impetus.
1t would hasten action in Congress, If
anything be needed for that purpose. 1t
might even have an impression in high
official places which have hitherto seemed
strangely cold and silent upon this great
question.
Cuba is certain to accomplish her indie
peDdence in the near future. This pres
eDt uprising will under no circumstances
weaken and fail as others have done. 1t
is here to stay, and the sooner the United
States Government is led, by meetings
and organizations and enthusiastic express
sion Of popular sentiment, to recognize
and assist the patriots. the sooner this
country will begin to secure naturally the
commercial profit which now flows to
Spain through Cuba's enforced seryitude.

END OF PRIZE FIGHTING

The failure of COrbett and Fitzsimmons to
pull off, their physical culture exhibi-
tion is unquestionably the final act in the
drama of prize fighting in America. OF
course, lot Of little pugs will amuse such
audiences as they can secure by a pre-
tense of hitting each other, but these "cut
no ice," as the sports would say. They are
not amusing. Even the Jackson City frater-
nifty have so tired Of them that the last
mill was not begun because there was no
audience, and therefore no money.
That sort Of prize fighting attracts so
little attention that the authorities rarely
interfere with 1t, even in the classic and
Puritanic community OF Boston. But the
great contests which involve national or
International championships will no
longer be fought before vast audiences
drawn TO the scene from q distance of thou
sands OF miles Henceforth the darlings of
the prize ring will be forced to sneak and
dodge and pummel each other in private,
and then skip ont Of the country TO avoid
arrest or fight abroad, where there Is less
vigorous enforcement Of the law.

CHARITY FARMS.

Reports which have been made to the
Associated Charities by persons who last
summer were given city or county lots to
work may not be all that the promoters
of the plan could desire, but they are
certainly so far encouraging as to lead
those who study the problem of aiding the
needy to attempt an extension of the plan.
1t suggests immense possibilities. City
lots offer but poor opportunity for such
experiments. The country is the place
for them. In the immediate vicinity Of
Washington are thousands of acres of ara
bic land which could be purchased for
trifling sum per acre. Comfortable cab
ins could be erected at small outlay.
Persons who desire to work could be col
onized there, and, with little direction,
would be able to cultivate and enrich the
land and more than provide for their own
maintenance.
1t is pretty certain, as is admitted by
those who have had experience in charity
methods. that some such institution as
this must soon to a great extent take the
place OF the system of doiing out money,
food and clothes as aims are given to
beggars.
II the millions that have been given
in charity had been spent in enabling the
poor to earn their own living the army
OF the needy would be far smaller than 1t
is, and manly and womanly desire for in
dependence would not have suffered SD
great a degradation as it has from aims
giving.

RECORDER TAYLOR AGAIN.

1t is quite impossible for Recorder Taylor
TO pay strict attention to the duties of his
office, and an official who dabbles in
alien affairs is sure to find himself coca
sionally in the wrong place at the right
time to get himself into trouble.
President Cleveland is supposed to be a
Democrat. He has been directly charged
by Republicans with holding card Of men,
bership in that party. Democrats have
disputed it, but there are grounds for the
belief. Therefore, it is probable the Pres
ident will straightway inquire why Re-
corder Taylor was speaker at a Republi
can meeting at Galileean Hall last evening,
and why he should be mixed up in any way
with manipulation OF the colored vote of
the District, in the interest of this or that
man as a delegate to the next national
Republican convention.
There is q faint suggestion in his action
of an intention to flop to the Republicans
at an opportune moment, under the in
fluence of some prescience that that party
is to be successful. II the President he
Democrat he will probably make serious
inquiry why Mr.. Taylor is so deeply inter
ested In Mr.. Perry Carson, a Republican
boss of Interstate reputation.

Some New Women.

The rising generation of the new woman
is rapidly coming to the front in the West.
Last week the girls at the high school in
Pontiac, Mich, organized football team.
and about the same time the girls in the
Helena, Mont, high school organized a mil
itary company.
Three girls and a boy were born to Mrs.
Amanda Webster. at Bethel, Del. one day
last week. The mother is twenty aud the
husband fifty-two years old. All the
children were doing well at last accounts.

NOT A FAREWELL.

Senator German delivered at Baltimore
fast evening what the esteemed Sun, of
that city, calls the "same farewell speech"
which he has delivered six or seven times
during the campaign, with slight variations
For man who is saying final farewell.
Mr.. German certainly takes a cheerful
view of things, and therefore it may be sus-
pected that bis farewells are similar to
those OF other years, when he bade good
night only to turn up fresh and vigorous the
next day with vociferous good morning
to his enemies.
Senator German in politics isneither worse
nor better than the Republican bosses. His
machine is quite as good as any other ma
chine. As a rebuke to machine politics the
defeat OF his candidate foh governor, Mr..
Hurst, is a desirable contamination. But
to accomplish the laudable purpose Of
breaking up bossism the independent ele-
ment of both parties would then ,.e com
PEELED. Logically, to turn around and sweep
the new bosses out of office.
Generally speaking, the fighting has been
fair during the campaign. Both sides, and
especially Mr.. German, have dealt hard
blows. Personalities have been frank and
fierce. Probably the least fair form of
attack has been the Democratic assertion
that the election of Lowndes means negro
domination.
OF course, the least intelligent know that
this is nonsense. No such thing as negro
domination is possible. Colored voters be-
long to both parties. They do not vote as
negroes at all, and have no desire to "domi-
nate" There is no race question I'm the
contest, and Senator German will gain
nothing by attempting to excite race preju-
dice.
In fact, it is a decided admission that
there is very weak spot somewhere in his
cause

Science of Flight.

The eaee with which birds ca move from
place 10 place has always excited the envy
or mankind, and from the days of Icarus
and Daeialus down tn the present day
philosophers and ma themSt icians have
tried to solve the secret of birds flight
When Prof. Darwi was in South America
many years ago he was unable ti account
for the flight "f the condor. He speaks of
seeing condnrs circiiBg about In a valley,
rising higher aud higher without any per.
ceptibie motion of their wings.
BIT all birds do n..t soar. Ducks. geese,
partridges, and pheasan,s are types OF
birds which are provided with cnmpara-
lively small wings. They only remain IN
the wing for short time. and while in the
air exert n enormous amount of energy and
move at very high velocity. They do
not seem to have the power to take advan-
tage of ascending columns OF air. but move
in a straight line, quite independent OF air
currents. and it is these birds we should
seek TO initiate in eur attempts to navi-
gate the air.
II has been asserted by many mathema-
ticians that if a bird should be considered as
a machine ii would be quite impossible
for it tu fly. according to the accepted
laws of aero-dynamics.
Prof. Frnude. the mathematician. while
making a voyage ia the South Atlantic.
observed the flight "f that greatest of all
flyers. the albatross. and he admitted that
no existing mathematical formula could
account for the soaring OF these birds with
out any apparent movement of their wings.
Prof. Proctor. the astronomer, while on
a visit TO lurida- studied the flight of tur-
key buzzards. He observed that they were
able to s"ar quite independent of any mo-
ton of their wings. They seemed 10 balance
themselves on the air and move forward.
and sometimes upward, without the expend
iture of any force at all. He attempted to
account f,,r this on the hypothesis that as
they were moving forward at a very high
velocity they did Not rest on the same air
long enough for the air to be set in motion.

Pen and Ink.

Most copying inks are ferrogalIc in their
nature, and are adapted for use by being
highly gummed and having also portion
of sugar In their composition.
The manuscripts of the fifth and twelfth
centuries are written with very good black
ink, which has not shown the least sign Of
fading or obaiteration.
Bamboo pens have been used In India for
over 1000 years. They are made like the
ordinary quill pen, and for a few hours
writing are said to be very serviceable.
The Chinese pen from time immemorial
has been brush made of some soft ha ir and
used to paint the curiously formed letters
OF the Chinese alphabet.
The objection made to the first gold pens
manufactured was mainly to the rs!nts,
which were so soft that they were bent or
worn out very quickly.

with emphasis.
"Oh, l don't mea n that ] mean if the

..Is this the carfarc question:" denia nd
ell Priscilla.
No, it's the boat ride and the straw
ride and the picnic question. Is it in
suting to man for q girl who has gone
off ON q purely friendly summer ''lars''
with him to offer to pay her share OF the
expenses? For instance, Ned and l start
ell for a walk the her day. Suddenly VT
came to the lake. We decided stimuli
tancously that we wanted TO row. We
hired q boat and rowed. We came back
hungry and had sandwiches a mi things at
the boatman's. Now. why did insult Ned
when I tod him that ] wanted to pay
my share?"
Probably because Ned thought it a re-
Election on his earning powers.
"Oh, nonsensei" said Nancy. 'sIf you
and l had done that. we could have divided
up and fought over the half cent. Why
couldn't l do the same thing with Ned?

Here are these boys I've gone to school

own terms of dividing the fun and expenses
both? i tell you, n scif-respecting woman
doesn't like to be under more than the
slightest financial obligation to any man
outside of her family"
"When you're invited, then, to the the
ater," began Priscilla
s'When I'm invited anywhere formally

right TO offer to pay my expenses than the
man whom my mother invites to dinner has
