Judgment, but for these all laws would
be vain. and more injury than benefit
would flow from harsh enactments.
our rulers will always be in some
degree OF danger, and nothing can
completely shield them. Ii is one OF
the penalties of their high office. A
certain degree of precaution should be
exercised to prevent the actual
commission of assault upon them. As
TO what that degree Is, each president

considering the ease with which the

A most determined effort is to be
made this fall to Dust Tammany from
control in New York city. The city is
naturally strongly Democratic and
Tammany hall, as the leading
Democratic organization, has usually
governed the city. Outside of
Tammany, there are many Democrats
who have long been Disguised with
Tammany rule, and anxious to see the
tiger overthrown. The Republicans.
too, have always put up a stiff, i
generally unsuccessful, fight. Some
years ago, under the influence OF
official revelations of Tammany' 5
rottenness. Strong, Republican, was
elected mayor, with the aid OF
Democratic and Independent votes.
His administration was marked by a
wave OF reform that proved too drastic
for the New York taste, and when the
last mayoralty election took place,
Van Wyck, a dummy put up by Chief
Croker. the Tammany leader, won.
The opposition was then divided
between Tracy, Republican, and Low,
Citizens Union candidate. Together,
the two latter had more votes than
Van Wyck, showing that the majority
in New York did not want Tammany
rule. The record of the Van Wyck
administration has been thoroughly in
keeping with the Tammany precedents.
Vice and corruption have walked
hand in hand, and honesty has been at
discount. This year, Tammany's
opponents do not mean to lose through
division. Committees were appointed
representing the different organizations
and ticket agreed on, headed by
Seth Low for the mayoralty. No
effort will be spared to land him a
winner. But Tammany is strong and
has vast political forces at its
command. 1t will make a death
struggle. There never was cleaner.
cut issue between the good and evil in
American politics than the one just
opened in the metropolis. Here's
hoping that Low will stand ace high
when the cards are shown.

AMERICAN SPFCTAcLEs.

"Up to IS years ago." said an opti-
clan. reports a New York exchange,
"four-ffths of all the finer spectacles
used were made in France. In the past
six or eight years French spectacles
have been largely supplanted by
American glasses, which are now sold
even in France.
american spectacles are now easily
the best in the world, and their superb
ority il due to the same characteristics
tnat mark SO many American manu-
factured productions, namely, adapta-
bility 10 their use, good workmanship,
uniformity and interchangeability of
parts. There have been made in this
country great Improvements in the
special machinery with which the
Bpectacles are made, so that the parts
are produced with precision.
"You will see an increasing number
Of signs saying that spectacIes can be
mended while you wait. This can be
done with these finely made American
spectacles. You break bow, for in
stance, OF your steel spectacles, and
any one OF a thousand bows of the
same style will fit in place of il.
american specfacles may not be
the cheapest produced in the world.
but they are certainly the best, and
good proportion Of the population of
the world that uses glasses now looks
through spectacles Of American man
ufacture.
sNe pay much more attention TO
our eyes in this country now than we
formerly did. There are many more
oculists here than there formerly
were, and many more skilled opticians.
And Of people who ought TO wear
glasses, including. for instance, chill
dren, greater proportion now than
ever before do wear them
IT dare say that a third of the spec
facles now made in this country are
exported, and our exports of these
goods are all the time Increasing. We
sell spectacles in China. in Australia,
and New Zealand, in South America
and South Africa, and some, as said,
in France. and more or less of them in
Germany and other countries of con-
tinental Europe. Large numbers Of
American specfacles are sold in Great
Britain. I guess you would find that
shipments Of such goods from here to
England are made as often as weekly.
imagine that there are now worn in
England and in Scotland more spec
facles Of American than Of any other
manufacture"
