An Invention called tho geomngnetlfere, successfully tested at Amheist, has done, tho busi ness. It consists of u pole, f0 feet high, sui mounted by a crown of copper spikw.

The elec tric light Is aKo utilised for stimulat ing the giowth of plants and the gen eial effect has been to hasten the mu tuilty of lettuce, spinach and similar pioelucts.

The 10 Is evidently one industry that pas. Announcement is made, evidently by authority, that Senator Hanna has seventy-live votes absolutely pledged for his re-election against a total of seventy, putting all the lemalnder In tho rankH of tho opposition.

Nothing will come of tho Prlnccfin flurry except somo bitterness of feeling toward tho bigoted who appear to havo gono out of their way to meddle with what is nono of their concern.

The sight of nn operative standing or sitting by tho side of a machine, lepeat Ing hour alter hour and day after day some simple monotonous movement in Eiippllng Its voraeltv for raw material, is one that excites the Bmpathy of a philanthropist. Sometimes, as in tho caso of John Ruskln, Herco anger Is roused that finds vent In eloquent invective against tho unoffending structuro of In ass and iron. It Is apostrophised as a "monster, destrojing tho character and paraUzing the eapiclty of human being for emotion, narrowing his life to a dull and deadening monotony, reducing him to slavery without tho slave's privilege of irresponsibility," in u word ns a dls chrlstlanlzlng and dehumanizing device, eating th manhood out of a mun nnil Thaeks gwiog Day Wi Soon Be Here We are offering a regu lar US-piece Havlland China Dinner Set In five different decorations for $27.50.

They lack tho bodily vigor for severe manual labor where no Intelli gence Is exercised, llko shoveling dirt or breaking stone, or making trenches In tho streets for gns pipes They lack tho ndroltness nnd adaptability for varied nnd light cmploiments. Tho great ud- vnntnge of the self-nctlng tool is Hint it renders available on production n class otherwise unemployed Perfected tools bring into play a strntum of society which without them Is a ilead weight. So far la this truo thnt slnco their In troduction legislation ngnlnst tho cm plovtncnt of oung child! en nnd legisla tion regulating tlie hours of labor hns been Imperative. It is tills utilising un der proper restrictions tho productive enpaclty of n fraction ot the population which otherwlso would rcmnln unpro ductive, that gives the tool-using nntlons their grent advantage In tho commercial struggle. All labor is rendered moro ef fective and tho volumo of labor Is In creased. o- It will hardly bo contended that Idle ness nnd usclessness are not worso for tho character than employment, however monotonous, or that lncreascel produc tion, with all Its risks of unstablo equi librium between fcverMi nctlvlty and chilling Inaction, Is not n blessing, though Its enforced adjustments lend to periods of Industrial distress. What men most dcslro is a chance to work, and it is better to look on the "pale faced slavo of tho midline" ns ono to whom has been given a chanco he would not have had weio It not that the mnchino does most of tho work for him It is moro philan thropic to try to ameliorate his lot thin to allow commiseration to tako the form of vituperating tho Inevitable conditions of modern Industr).

Prom tho New York Sun. Tho Itepublleans In the city of New Yoik who clung with ftcadfast loyally to their political principles and their party rendered a service to tho entire Republi can party, which entitles them to Its un bounded honor and gratitude. In spltu of treachery in their camp, which was all the moro odious bec"iue It sought to dis guise Itself with hpocilticil pretence, lOfi.uoo Itepublleans In tho Gieatcr New York remained faithful to tho last, fight ing against great odds a battle for tho preservation of tlie Republican party with a courago which never faltered It was a contest In which they wero de feated by tint trcaehety, so fnr as con cerns the election of their candidates, but they won a lctorj for the integrity of tho Republican paity, for which hereaf ter they will receive tho meed of prnlse that is their due, tliougn it bo denied them now by political shortsightedness or phnrlseelsm. Their party throughout tho Union can rely upon these 10i'.,000 New York Republicans alas. They nro a solid phalanx, Invincible In their lojalty to their paity. The unprincipled deser tion of men and new f pipers, before trust ed by them, only inide this host of stal wait Republicans the moro determined In their lojjlty to their party Hag. They wero a.ssallcd b tho lire of enenilos In tho front and In tho rear, in cowardly am bush and In lho open Held, but they did not surrender; they fought to tho last and went down with their colors, flying ptoudl. If Republicans everywhere do not regard with prido tills exhibition of indomitable courago and steadfast devo tion by their New York bretlnen, the manliness of the party has departed from It nnd tho day of its decadenco has come.
