NEW ERA FoR DEM0CRACY.
Reorganization On Higher Plane fo
 Party in New York.

Reorganization On Higher Plane for | Party in New York.
 New York World.
 Complete reorganization of the Dem ocratic party in New York state and in this city, with new men in control of planting Murphy in ~Tammany Hall, Cassidy in Queens. Haffen Tn the Bronx. and q new man tos i'll tfe Shoes of Me- carren tp Brooklyn. is fcreseen by New York Dendocrnts 6s an Inevitable result of Tuesdays political uphesval.
 Instead of being a general Democrat ic- rout, party leaders outside of Tam many said yesterday that Tammany alone was defeated Tuesday. and that a series of Democratic victories was won in this city and up tlie state which will pave the way for Q new era in the Democratic politics of New York.
 A Democratic mayor. four Democrat ic borough presidents. and Demo- cratic president of the board of alder men were elected in this city, Demo- cratic county officials were elected in Kings for the first time in several years; in Queens, the Democratic lo- cal tickets were successful; a Demo- cratic county clerk and a Democratic city judge were elected in New York county; twelve upstate cities. includ- ing Buffalo. elected Democratic may ors. and Lewis Etuyvesant Chanier, former lieutenant governor. was elect ted to the assembly where he is slated to become leader. :.
 Except in Buffalo. where "Fingy Corners candidate for mayor was eiec- ted, all the old machine Democratic bosses were beaten and left without any patronage with which to Keep themselves in control.
 Murphy was completely {. routed Tn New York county. and his retention or the leadership. of Tammany Hall any longer than the time to begin prepara- tions for the next election was agreed to be impossible. Cassidy in Queens and Haffen in the Bronx were placed in the Democratic gcrap heap, appar- ently forever. In Brooklyn the death of McCarren and the unexpected vtc- tory of the Democratic local ticket opens the way for the rise or new leader. It Is believed that a man not connected with the old McCarren re- eime will be brought to the front and an effort made to establish the Srook- ivn machine upon a higher plane than 1t has occupied.
 Al one stroke Tuesdays election wip- ed out the old machine leaders. who have blocked the reformation ana re- ha Initiation of the Democratic party Tn this city and in the state' anu power was placed In the hands of men who may by working together easily re- organize the party.

somethius Al.out Pins.

Responding 10 a Michigan Inquiry Consul Albert Halntead, of Birming- ham, states that while exact statistics of the British trade in pins are not available. he consulted large manu- facturer of pins and obtained the fol- lowing information that would appear to be sufficiently accurate.
 Of brass. iron and steel pins between fifteen sand sixteen tons (z,24O pounds to a ton) are made each week In the united Kingdom In view of the great difference In the size of the pins, which necessarily affects their weight, It is impossible to calculate how many mii- lions of pins are represented in this output, but the number must be almost incalculable. great majority of the pins manufactured In the United Kingv dom are made in Birmingham by two

WHAT NExTf
Says The Chattanooga Times:

The New York Evening Telegram Is making suggestions to the Alabama stunts In the pending campaign for Ea0na p60nibition in the Gonstitution which men, you are making a mistake: you ought to get it as an amendment to the Ten Commandments Caesar, but have been telling it everywhere that it was written all over the Scripturs and ne blurts out just like that that noisa |, isnt set down with the other crimes noted In the Decalogue thou shalt not do. Strange omission. but there
 Don't become impatient. The men who are proposing to first amend the Consultation of the State to fit their ideas. and then to reconstruct the su- preme Court to fit the new Constitu- tion will hardly stop there. Having accomplished two apparently impossi- ole designs-if they do accomplish them-they will feel themselves equal to still greater tasks, and may set to work to revise and amend the Ten Commandments. Even they may un- dertake to reconstruct the entire Bi- ble' and thus make a prohibition code of it. That might be looked on as an impossible task. but If these ann bilious politicians succeed in carry ing out their designs there will be no limit to their assumption of pow er Of course all good people object to having the Bible tempered with but when some men become unduly in.

 We take 1t that all boys who have passed though the barefoot stage of life have had experience with ground itch. but that 1t fs. the beginning of some, other disease is a new one on us. We always looked on 1t as a dis ease. not as symptom, If it is the forerunner of the hookworm. and the hookworm is the cause of laziness then tt would naturally, follow, W, sheuid say. that practically every boy becomes 6 lazy man as he grows up . but fs that a fact? However. 1t is never cause of wonder these days when they either discover a new dis ease or new cause for an old one That is what science is for. we should bear in mind Perhaps The Heraid's kerosene prescription is proper rem say for ground-itch in the beginning of the disease. and for hookworm la ter on. 1t Is a. remedy for a number of ailments and may fit this one. At any rate. we hardly think any worm could survive liberal application. of it, whether applied to the patients toes or his internal arrangement.
 While on this subject we may re- mark that fin regard to this liberal donsadon. but few Southern papers. SC far as we have observed. agree with Bishop candier in ssts criticisms of Mir Rockefeller and Ills million dollar subscription in the South. We do not believe that MT. Rockefeller intended 1t as q reflection oh the Southern people st all.. nor do we think his gift should be viewed in that light but however that may be. if the dis ease ts a real one. and If 1t prevails mostly in the South. then we say the donation should be received in com mendable spirit and applied where il will do most good.
 It may be true. as intfmated, that laziness is peculiar to our section. as well as to all other warm climates and we rather think there is some. thing in it. for we notice that a Tan. kee doesn't stay down here long be. fore taking on the ailment. and WI have noticed that some of them ac. quire bad cases of it. Be that as 4 may. we say let the million be ac' cepted and used to the best advan taxe. There Is no humiliation abou it. as we look at it.

Practical Politics .

November DIppincott.
 A political offlce in a small town in Iowa was vacant The office paid $260 a year. and there was keen competition for 1t. The Democratic candidate, Eze- kiel Hicks, was 1ewd old fellow. and a neat campa fund was turned over to him. To the astonishment Of all however, he was defeated.
 II can't account for it," said one of the Democratic leaders gloomtly. With that money. we should have won. How did you lay 1t out. Ezekiel7"
 Well" said Ezekiel slowly. pulling his whiskers, "yer see, that ofi1ce only pays S2kO a year salary. an I didn't see no sense in payin' se0e oIt to get the office. so I just bought me little truck farm instead"

 with the differing nationalitles of the peo-
