ONSIDERATION of the difference between the pledges of the Democratic Convention Inst fall and the actions of the majority in the Legislature will | show to even the most obtuse the contrast between | genuine Democracy and the Tammany type. It has been aid of French Cabinets that they are put into office on their promises and put out omtheir performances. In this State many a man that was elected othe Democratic promine of the campaign is now in danger of being defeated next year on his Tammany record. Fortunately for the wise among them, the old truth holds in! politics as in theology: “While the lamp holds out to burn the_ vilest sinner may return.” ‘There is chance yet for the majority | to redeem their Democratic pledges and eo save not only them-| selves hat their party from defeat next year. But the time is short and the lamp burns fnst. \ ° | | 1te WORKERS AND THEIR WORK. OSTON reports state that because the hobble ekirt | requires much less cloth than the old-fashioned skirt the demand for cloth has so diminished that many mills in New England have had to dismiss a large number of their hands, and many operatives thus thrown out of employment are on the verge of starvation. ‘A short time ago a report from Wilmington stated that the em- | ployment of velvet, cravenette, canvas and other fabrics in making | shoes for women had 60 Jessened the demand for light qualities of leather as to seriously depress the leather market. ‘The report added | that the morocco industries in that city employed 3,500 hands at thi time last year, but now have not more than half that number. | These statistics ehow the effects of one of the minor disturbances | of the industrial world. A slight change in the shape of a skirt, a! change in the fashions of footwear, and thousands of industrious | people are put out of employment and in many cases reduced to almost helpless poverty. Big manufacturers themselves were once subject to a like disaster from such changes, but of late they have man- aged to guard against it by arranging to check competition, limit out- put and raise prices. But what are the workers going to do? nny Seance WHY MORE EXPERIMENTS? CCORDING to the report of the committee of the Fifth Avenue Association the etreet paving of the city is subject to three defects. First, wrong material has been used. Second, the construction has been improper. Third, the mnin- tenance has been fnedequate. Furthermore, there is an intimation that the paving has not always been laid with good intentions, The report needs no confirmatory arguments nor exhibits. ‘The @efects stated are apparent to the eyes of all observers, and can be felt by the nerves of any one that drives over the rough and ragged roadbeds. Neither is there needed any evidence to sustain the conten- tion of the committee that our street paving should be as well done as thet of London or Paris. But the committee recommends the undertaking of a seriew of | experiments to test the relative merits of various kinds of paving, and that conclusion will not stand of itself. Have we not made ex- periments enough? Street work\has surely got heyond the experi- mental stage, both as to material and.as to proper construction It is eo in other towns, ——————++-—_____ WASTED ENERGY. ECRETARY HIBBARD, of the State Board of Charities, told a national conference at Boston that the care of vagrants in penitentiaries, jails and workhouses in this State costs us “at least two million dollars annually.” It probably costs fully as much more to support those that live and loaf | along the parks and streets in the cities. So, taking | in all the expense account, the support of vagrants is by no means the lenst of our cares or of our expenditures, | The evil ig the more annoying from the fact that among the | vagrant hordes there is a fair proportion of good working material if only it could be set to work. Men that have energy enough to ‘tramp all day, or to beg all day, have surely energy enough to earn their bread, if it were intelligently applied The one thing lacking is the intelligence, These loafers do not know how to make use of their brains or their muscles, good captain or boss with power to act is all they need. But charity pre- fers to give money and counsel rather than command and punishment, and unfortunately such things do not supply the initiative needed to set the tramp energy to work. S So Secretary Hibbard suggests that we start an industrial colony, hat is the present fad in such matters. | et : | + Work could begin possibly in the Aegotiations in next fat! ler protracted To Keep F Wo the Editor of The Brening World: Could some chicken raiser kindly 4 form me what I can do to keep ex fresh? 1 have more just now than I can fuse and would ike to put them away} for the winter, W.M.

(The New form Worw No, 2.--The Coronation Stone and Some Gdd “Omens.” N the anctent Abbey of Scone tn Scotland was once a stone carven with mystic hieroglyphics. On this Stone of Scone all the Scottish Monarchs were crowned. The stone was supposed to have magical powers to insure good luck to king and kingdom alike. | Old legends said that this was the very stone whereon the patriareh, Jacob, rested his tired head when he slept on the hillside of Bethel and had his vision of angels ascending and descending the heavenly stairway, The | stone was believed to have been kept later in the Temple of Jerusalem and jto have been stolen by a runaway Eastern prince who brought ft to the British Isles. (As a matter of fact, geologisie declare it is of unmistakably Scotch origin.) Tn any case, a halo of superstition surrounded this Stone of Scone. ‘The | Scots looked on {t with reverent adoration. Then, In 1296, Edward 1. ef | England invaded Scotland with a hostile army, captured the Abbey of Scone, | ripped the sacred stone from its place and sent {t to England. There it was placed in Westminster Abbey, and every English sovereign but ene since that time has sat on it during his coronation. ‘The stone ts fixed tn the lower part of a huge old | oaken chair that {s nearly seven feet high and over | range sate three feet broad.
