Tammany seems to be as badly split
up as the better element. Van Wyck's
nomination has proved anything but a
unifying one. Most Of the laboring men
who generally vote with Tammany are
showing marked fondness for Henry
George. The Knights of Labor have en-
dorsed him and SO havs several other
labor organizations. The Germans too
are up in arms because Boss Croker
turned down their candidate, Mr.. Sohmer
in favor of Van Wyck and threaten to
bolt if Van Wyck If not withdrawn.

and declares that Van Wyek shall stick.

Whatever may be thought of the ulti-
mate result of Debs's venture in railway
building it can be truly said that the
direction in which he is now turning
his energies is a great improvement over
that In which they have been accustomed
to run. Setting men to work is inf
nitely better than urging them to stop
work, which used to be the principal part
of his business.

Single tax, personal liberty, French
balls, free silver, gold standard and many
other questions equally removed from the
province of chief magistrate of New
York city are already prominently under
discussion in the municipal campaign in
that city. There seems to be strong
disposition to discuss everything except
that which ought to be discussed-the
capacity of the candidates for admins
tering the affairs of the giant metropolis,
and to determine the result by tests not
germane in the slightest degree to the
real issue. In a contest where there
ought to be general coalition of all the
respectable elements against those of the
other kind which are massed under the
Tammany banner, we find irrecon-

his party had disappeared in the luncheon
tent sigh OF relief went up from the crowd,
for at last the hero lay in the tomb BETTING
his renown and fittingly dedicated by q grateful
nation.
The land parade was waited for after the con-
elusion OF the ceremonies The sky became
overcast with clouds and the wind increased
until 1t almost howled around the trees. The
waters Of the Hudson reflected the ashen hue
Of the sky, and the great white ships that
fioated on its bosom stood in almost ominous
relief. The dusty roadbed of the drive was
whipped up until black coats became brown,
and spectators forsook their unsheltered seats
for the protection Of the tomb pillars.
Then suddenly in the cloud OF dust from the
south, between the two black lines OF people
which seemed to meet in the perspective, came
| the noddng plumes of the soldiers. On
they marched, an endless line of white and red
and blue and gray. First passing on the west
OF the monument oval and returning on the
north road under the monumental arch, they
passed the president in review, and then back

and the striplings who, in the future, may fight
as calamity as their fathers did.

Why Mccormick Changed from the
Left to the Right HIND Binder.

1t has been said that the conveniences of
one age become the necessities of the next:
but no ordinarily sane man will contend
that the necessities of one age should be-
come the inconvenience of the next. When
binding was done by hand the left hand cut
the platform of the harvester and was de-
livered into the receiver with its heads
towards the rear of the machine. The men
stood in the receiver facing the grain. With
the left hand machine the heads of the
grain are at the left hand of the man doing
the binding, so in taking out the bundle
turned 1T to the front table or to the back
table he kept his position toward the
bundle itself-that is, with the heads toward
his left hand; hence, in making the tuck he
showed the ends under the band toward the
heads. Grain is handled by the shocker by
grasping into the heads, as shown in the

A TARIFF MIDDLE
Caused by the Too Free Distribution of
"MOet Favored Nationv Treaties.

"Most Favored Nation" Treaties.
MoNTRELL, April 2S.-Considerable
doubt is being expressed as to the sue
cess of the effort of the new liberal
government to establish preferential
trade with Great Britain. The latter
country has now ''most favored nation"
treaties with Germany, Belgium and
other countries, which expressly pro-
vide that in none of the colonies of
Great Britain shall the products of
those countries be subject to higher
import duties than the product of the
United Kingdom.
The action of the Dominion govern
ment in making a reduction in the du-
ties on goods coming from Great Brit
ain has accordingly already brought
forth protest from these other coun-
| tries. The consuls in the city for Bel
GUM, Germany and Switzerland stated
yesterday that unless the same rebate
allowed on British goods was extended
at once to the exports of their coun-
tries they would report the fact to
their respective governments, which
would make immediate protest to the
imperial government.
In the event of the British govern
royal assent to the new Canadian tariff
bill, the old conservative tariff would
come into force again; all duties col
lected under the new schedule would
be subject to readjustment according
to the old rates, and considerable con-
| fusion must necessarily ensue.

AS five o'clock, the hour at which President
Mckinley was to go on board the Dolphin ap-
preached, the crowd on the pier where he was
to embark, grew larger and larger, until sew
eral thousand had assembled They greeted
the president and his party with cheer which
was re-echoed from hundreds OF steamers
which. having come up the river in the naval
parade, had taken positions in rather incon-
venient proximity to the Dolphin.
The moment the president boarded the light
house boat Daisy, the police boat Patrol, as
sisted by several launches from the war ships,
began to force the tugs and steamers back and
fairly clear space was visible when the Daisy
reached the starboard side of the dispatch boat,
and the presidents flag broke from her main
mast. The president set foot on the deck OF
the Dolphin, and the presidential salute Of q
guns was fired and the fleet Of steamers blew
whistles until the sound of the firing was
scarcely audible.
President Mckinley was met on board by L eu-
tenant Commander Richardson Clover, COM
manding officer of the Dolphin, and was intro
duced by him to Rear Admiral Francis M.
Bunce, commanding the naval division.
The officers of the Dolphin saluted the presi-
dent who walked aft and assembled the quarter
deck. He was accompanied by Secretary OF
State Sherman, Gen. Alger, Attorney General
McKenna, Secretary Long, Secretary Gage,
Secretary Bliss, Generals Miles, Ruger and
Porter, Butterield, Elihu Root, j. Edward Sim
mons, Gov Black and Postmaster General
Gary.
At $50 o'clock the Dolphin started down the
river, followed by the immense feet OF steam
ers, which had awaited the arrival of the presi-
dent.
The New York was the first vessel passed by
the Dolphin and Pres ident Mckinley dofied his
silk hat and bowed as the first gun of her salute

and who, sailing by the Dolphin, cheercd for
the president again and again Mr. Mckinley
seemed highly pleased and walked 10 the sids
Of the Dolphin nearest the Ramapo He took
OF his hat and remained uncovered until the
Ramapo had gone astern.
The steamer containing the Pennsylvania
legislature next attracted the presidents at
tention. and he cordially saluted them as they
waved their hats from the tug.
The Dolphin came TO anchor opposite West
Fifty-second street, having been preceded
down the river by the torpedo boat Porter.
The president stepped into the launch, and as
she steamed away for the REPRESENTATIVES
pier the Dolphin's gun doomed q farewell sa-
Lutte, and her sailors and marines manned the
rails.
While the surging crowds were still seeking
their homes, an elaborate reception to Presi-
dent Mckinley was In progress at the Union
League CLUB.
Scarcely hitch occurred in the whole pro-
gramme for this great celebration, and the
arrangements Of the committee from early
morn until late at night met with complete sue
cess The brisk, cold wind affected those in the
| elevated vicinity Of the tomb more than IL did
those In more sheltered and lower parts Of the
city.
1t is estimated that fully 100000 persons
watched for hours the troops that passed in re-
view 1t was such gorgeous sight that no
wind could kill the enthusiasm OF the on-look-
ers, many OF whom were compelled to walk out
in the early morning to the park and thousands
of whom came from distant cities.
When night fell and the greatest OF military
naval and civic parades ever seen here was at
an end, the city assumed gala aspect. The
streets were full of bright uniforms of all ma
| tions, while sightseers from every part wan
dered from place to place and discussed the
wonders of the day.
AT midnight all was quiet. The war ships
lights no longer were reflected by the placid
Hudson and the gray tomb on the eminence
| above stood out boldly against the black sky,
at last fitting monument erected by O grateful
nation to the soldier-presdent, who through
| victories and war brought peace and, with
| peace, brought honor.

Terrorized by Edhem Pasha's Threat to
March Upon Athens.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Evenin g
News publishes a dispatch from
Athens, dated $40 p. nj. yesterday,
saying the people there are frightfully
incensed at the retreat of the troops.
The dispatch further states that the
bitterness against King George and his
government is intensified by the news
that the Greek army in Eprius has
been ordered to suspend operations,
pending reconsideration of the situa-
ton by the ministers.
Continuing, the dispatch says:
Indeed, it looks probable that to-
morrow will see the end of the whole
business. There is reason to believe
the government is contemplating the
withdrawal of the Greek troops from
Crete and an appeal to the Powers to
settle the troubles. This change upon
the part of the government is due to
Edhem Pasha having intimated his
intention of marching upon Athens"
