A DINNER SERVICE.
What It May Represent When Wealth II
Unlimited-.i Common Sense Service.

A dinner service nowadays presents an
array OF exquisite ard beautifully modelled
china, decorated with paintings that are
really works Of art, and the number OF.
dishes goes on increasing as the courses
become more numerous or indiyidualiza-
ton is carried to extreme limits. The
custom Of having whole dinner set of the
same pattern wayers somewhat in the bal
ance Of fashionable favor. Sometimes a
costly and beautiful service viii be special
" made TO order, sometimes every course
will bring now beauties to light, and some
times, again, the main pieces Will belong
to one set, while the entrees and desserts
will have their own particular plates.
For those who intend to have but one
service good taste as well as common sense
dictatesa choice Of the simpler designs and
colorings. White and gold never loses in
favor, and can be had in all sorts Of china
and at all sorts Of prices.
But for those who do not care for
complete set Of dishcs-who prefer odd
pieces that will be appropriate by dcco2a-
ton and modelling to special ends-there
are place plates, oyster plates, soup, en-
tree. dinner, game, salad ard dessert plates
ad inGnitum. Terrapin plates are new
and swell departure. The decoration and
shape Of the plates are so designed as to
represent terrapin. The shell forms the
center, with the head, legs and tail com
ing out in green relief ON the edges.
As a general thing salad is served in en-
tree plates. The prettieGt salad plato is n
small yellow one, little larger than u bread
and butter plate Tho cool green leaves of
the lettuce look particularly well on the
yellow china. A writer in the New York
Herald, already quoted, says that the

A grand lecture, replete with many
grand truths and great ideas, was that
delivs red last evening in Music hall by
DR.. Greene of 81 Temple Place, Boston,
Mass.
The fame Of this celebrated scientific
physician is so widespread that the occa-
sion attracted large and cultivated
audience, who listened, spcllbound, to his
glowing sentences, aud went away feel
ing they could well congratulate them
selves ab being abls to enjoy SO rare and

Dr.. Greene undoubtedly stands today
without n rival in this great field of
chronic and nervous diseases, theirsscause,
history and cure and all that he has to
say upon such an important and vital
subject IS stamped with unimpeachable
authority. His marvellous, impressive
and instructive treatment of his subject,
and his no less successful treatment OF his
great army Of patients, alike attest his
title to be ranked as the foremost physician
Of his aga in nervous and blood diseases
1t might bo said that the world turns
out to hear him, and all ara made glad.

cratic success at the coming State cleo
tion ~ to which interrogatory the an
swers all agree that the success of the

character of the nominations-how they
are made, and platform of principles,
embracing as its principal feature q
re-assessment of property with 4 Gov
ernor pledged to its support. These
views are very important, inasmuch as
they reflect public sentiment, and should
be needed by the party managers. They
also show that the people are in no
mood to be trifled with, and unless their
wishes are considered, and men of~in-
tegrity and ability are brought forward
men whom the people have every con-
fidence, and not mere figure heads and
disaster will surely overtake the
party. We admire the enterprise of the
Ledger in gathering these important
facts and laying them before the people
of the State. They teach moral
lesson, which if needed, may be the
salvation of the Democratic party in
the next general election in this State.

Out of the chaos into which this coun-
try has been plunged by the various
disastrous strikes of the last half dozen
years few points begin to be made
plain. One is that the public viii not
much longer tolerate these damaging
interruptions to the ordinary current Of
industry. Some way must be found by
employers and employees to settle wage
difficulties, or the people will rise and
force their representatives to make laws
compelling both sides either TO arbitrate
or quit and let other parties take up the
industries they fail to conduct proper
ly. Before the Brooklyn trolley strike
had reached its most dangerous aspect
the common council of that city and the
board of supervisors of Kings county,
III which Brooklyn is situated, had
adopted resolutions calling on the at
torney general Of the state to annul the
charters of the railroad companies un-
less they yielded and agreed to settle
the strike. The annoyance and loss to
the people from these commissions are
something that simply viii not be borne
much longer.
The Brooklyn trolley companies had
al the perfection they asked for. The
police were at their disposal and We're
shot and stoned in the service of the
companies Nine regiments of the ma
tional guard were also at the service of
the railroads, and they used bullets to
quell the mobs a every point where
they were wanted they were stationed.
Yet for all this protection the compa-
MES admitted that they could not run
their cars regularly and successfully.
Another point in the strike business
is that the sympathies of the people are
almost universally in favor of the strik-
ing workmcn. In Brooklyn provisions
and money poured in for the strikers
from citizens in all quarters. In nearly
every locality where there are labor
difficulties the people are with the
workingmen. 1t shows that whether
workingmen are oppressed by capitalists
or not the people believe them to be so.
But the worst, the most lamentable
feature of strikes is the element of hood
lumns and toughs that they bring 30 the
surface. The story is the same every
where-it is not the striking workmen
who commit the acts of violence, tut
the thugs and desperadoes in whom the
latent spirit of rapine and destruction
is aroused, and who are always drawn
at once to the scene
Plainest of all looms up the fact that
capitalists and laborers must find some
way to avoid these strikes, or there will
shortly be neither capital nor labor in
this country. There is a call here for
recol structed economic science.
