The first successful furnace for smelt-
ing iron ore with anthracite coal was
built in Pennsylvania in 1888.
Swedish iron has wide reputation
in the arts. The best, it is said. is OBJ
tanned from the mine of Dannemora.
Iron is not the only metal which can
be welded. but no metal possesses this
property in so high degree.
1t is said by an historical authority
that tho average life of an iron rail is
16 years; that of u steel one, 40 years.
Many doctors believe that iron. med
ically considered. is a sort of food and
is given with best effect at meal times.
The tonnage of the iron and steel
ships built in the United States was
greatest in 1891, when it was 105,61s
tons.

Convention Aftermath

There is ON thing the thoughtful loyal
white ribboner never does. She never
misses even the least important session
(f there be any such) of Ia convention to
which she has been sent by her home
constituency as a delegate to go off
sight seeing. At one of our earlier State
Conventions, held in Trenton in 1885, we
distinctly remember how dear "Mother'
Downs, who was then our State Presi
dent, scored some of those who had va
Gated their seats in their respective dele,
cations to go out and see the sights.
We remember too, how, at the National
Convention at Cleveland (not being a
delegate) two or three of US went out to
the Garfield Monument, which is beauti-
full for situation and design, and which
none should ever miss the opportunity to
see, but while we were gone from the
convention, WI were told afterward, that
in the devotional exercises of the after
loon session Frances Willard had mado
the opening prayer, and sach a prayer,
our informant said, she had never list
ened to. 1t seemed just as though she
had God beside her. That she was
looking into the face of the Divine One
as she talked to Him, and that He was
indeed in their very midst. This de-
scription left such an impression with us
that we have always felt one very impor-
tant feature of that convention was lost
to US through an act of disloyalty to that
which should have claimed our first and
our constant attention. 1t doesn't pay to
run off then, but if our friends are so
kind as to insist on our remaining for a
day after the convention is over-why
this is an opportunity We should not
miss.

where the great general accomplished his
we'll planned project. Between these
two monuments last spoken of we passed
within view of the new Florence Mission
recently established, the State Industrial
School, State Asylum, Hill Crest, which
gives US a commanding view of the
country round about, the Pennsylvania
hills in the distance, Trenton driving
park, Mercer Hospital, and handsome
houses built by the Williamson heirs, of the
Williamson school fame of Pennsylvania
The State Normal School building claimed
our interested attention also, and we
were impressed with the idea that the
boys and girls who enter there from all
sections of the State ought to be happy,
because it is q very pleasant LOOKING
place.
Trenton has about twenty potteri es,
one of which we visited on Seventh.day
morning. They are extensive manu-
facturers of beautiful English imported
ware here in this particular. factory, but
they import the Englishman instead OF
the ware, which surely saves a deal of
jolting about and soaring of the ware.

Young Friends Literary.

Saturday evening We accompanied DR..
Sattherwaite Out to tea, and the Unattended
the Young Friends Literary Society in
the same lovely home. DeCow was the
name of these pleasant people. The
young Friends gathered in goodly
number and the program rendered was
full of interest even to tired brains and
bodies. DR.. Satterthwait's paper, the
Quaker Gossip" of which she is the
appointed editor for a given length Of
time, was full of sense and nonsense. Her
eomical description of a Quaker wedding
that had been solemnized in the meeting
house some weeks before, was interesting
in the extreme.
The discussion that followed the
question asked by one of the young men
present as to whether the Salvation
Army was not accomplishing a greater
work than the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, was filled with keen
interest to the number of white ribboners
present, and while no word, only of
warm approval, was said relative to the
work of the Salvation Army, yet we can
but trust that it was easily proven tn at
the methods Of work carried out by the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
are much more educational and proven
tive in their tendency, and therefore
much more Intelligent in their breadth
and scope than can possibly be the work
of reclamation. principally, that is being
carried forwardsby our welcome ally, the
Salvation Army.
AS was said by one of those in atten-
dance: "Fbese young Quakers should nave
attended tAssaEansasrssssrUns.sat least, Of
the State Convention (their business
preventing them-the gentlemen during
the day. then they would have some
tangible idea of what the w. C.sFs His
doing" Well venture to say, however,
that the next white ribbon convention
that meets in Trenton will be attended
by these same young Quaker gentlemen
older grown though they be.
Now. Trenton, goodbye, for the time
being. Wen step over and see what they
have been doing at Toronto. President

The election contest In Greater New
York was watched with unusual interest
from every part of the country, not only
because it was the first election since the
creation of the Greater New York, but
because it was distinctly a grapple of the
people with the bosses of the two parties,
and as we'll for the influence it is likely
to have on future national contests. The
result, while not surprising, is a disap-
pointment to those who are opposed to
boss methods in politics, and it has dem
onstrated that the people, when fully
awakened, even in such a machine ridden
city as New York, can throw off the
yoke of servitude. Judge Robert A
Van Wyck, who is elected the first Mayor
of Greater New York by a plurality of
upwards of 80, 900, is a Tammany m An
and the creation of Boss Croker, and the
conoensus of opinion is that it again puts
the Tiger 10 charge of the vast patronage
that now belongs to the consolidated
metropolis, which is on a par with that
of the President of the United States.
The one man who has contributed most
toward this result next to Boss Croker is
Boss Thomas G. Platt, now occupying
the exalted position of a Senator in Con-
gress by the grace of a Republican Leg
islature. Because the Citizens Union,
made up largely of Republicans, did not
consult him as to a candidate or submit
to his dictation, but nominated Seth Low
as a man to lead those opposed to ma
chine methods in politics as represented
by Mr.. Platt, he forced Gen. Benjamin F.
Tracy, ex Secretary of War, on the Re.
publican ticket, and the fact that he is
the lowest man in the contest, save
Henry George, whose following was
scattered because of the sudden death of
the elder George. proves almost conclu-
sively that the Platt influence was finally
given to Tammany in order to make sure
the defeat of Seth Low. The result OF
this treachery, while it may bring its
reward to Boss Platt and his immediate
henohmen by reason of the dioker that
was most probably made before the
goods were delivered, may be more far
reaching in its influence than now appears
on the surface. The rehabilitation of
Tammany Hall, with a four years lease
on the vast patronage belonging to
Greater New York, gives that heretofore
corrupt organization a mighty vantage
in the chief citadel of the nation, and a
corresponding menace to the supremacy
of those principles and governmental
| policy which the people ;naugurated last
fall and which are nov proving 80 benefi-
cent to the country, and if they shall
| prove the hair to turn the scales in 1900
backward four years, the treachery Of
Thomas G. Platt will be the cause.
