A DEMOCRATIC "MARE'S
NEST."
i Will Democratic follies never cease ?
i The latest scheme hatched by William
! H Barnum aud John Kelly for divert
ing attention from their blunders is a
project for calling in question and set
ting aside Gariield's majority in the
State of New York. Kelly, at lea.-t, is
not quite such an idiot as to expect
that this piece of bravado will succeed,
but if it should screen him from the
Democratic indignation which his
treachery has aroused it -would accom
plish the only purpose for which he
abets it. If, with Barnum's aid, he
can succeed in raising a dust of contro
versy over the legality of the New
York election and can enlist the party
in this State in a reckless attempt to
give the New York electoral votes to
Hancock, he hopes to slink away in
the resulting confusion. Barnum has
a similar motive for raising a false issue
for shielding himself fr- m Democratic
censure.
The basis of this wild, reckless
scheme is that the Congress which will
count the electoral votes is Democratic
in both branches, and a presumed wil
lingness on its part to count out Gar
field if a plausible pretext can be invent
ed for doing so. If the electoral votes
of New York could, by any kind of
desperate hocus pocus, be counted for
Hancock, he might, after all, be the
next President. Even if a pretence
could be found for rejecting the New
York votes as illegal the election of
Hancock might still be looked upon as
possible, since the choice would then
devolve upon the Democratic House of
Representatives. The artfulness of
Kelly consists in getting Barnum to
co-operate with him in holding out this
deceitful prospect to the Democratic
party, and, by exciting false hopes, put
off the day of reckoning with himself,
liven Irving Hall and t h e World seem
in danger of being inveigled into this
trap. But the more wary and clear
sighted Brooklyn Eayle, detects and
denounces the snare, and exposes it as
a scheme to protect the recreant hoses.
What are the pretexts on which it
is sought to nullify Mr Garfield's ma
jority in New York ? They are two
in number, and both of them futile aud
ridiculous. The one first invented is a
charge of wholesale Republican colo
nization from other States. The local
Democratic committees are put upon
this false scent and asked to be busy
in following it. This is like drawing
a red herring across the trail in a fox
hunt to baffle the pursuing hounds
Kelly and coadjutors hope by this
means to divert the avenging chase
while they run to covert.
But within the last day or two a new
"mare's nest" has been discovered to
amuse Mr. Kelly's Democratic enemies
and engage their attention. It has
come to light that in one election pre
cinct in Oswego the Garfield tickets
were not printed as a recent law of the
Sta'e directs, and it is assumed that
similar tickets have been widely used
in Western New York It is claimed
that these irregular ballots will upset
aud reverse the majority for Mr. Gar
field in this State, and that when they
are thrown out the Hancock ticket will
be found to have been elected. Should
it so turn out Hancock may be the
President.
An election law passed by the last
Legislature requires that the caption'
presumed to mean the outside words—
of ballots be printed as a single line, in
a prescribed kind of type, without any
distinguishing mark or device, in order
to make it impossible for persons hang
ing around the polls to tell for which
party electors have voted. The pro
fessed design of this enactment was to
protect the secrecy of the ballot and
shield the voters against intimidation.
It is now alleged that the Republican
party has viol ted its own law, aud
that in the western part of the State
a large share of the Garfield ballots did
have a distinguishing caption, which
is forbioden by the recent law. It is
contended that all such ballots are ille
gal and must be rejected in the final
count, and that when this is done the
Hancock ticket will be found to have
been chosen in New York, the State
which turns the scale and decides the
election. The Democrats who "lay
this flattering unction to their souls"
rely ori the third section of the act
passed at the last session, which is as
follows :
"SUCTION 3. It shall be unlawful
for any person to print or distribute,
or to cast any ballot printed or partly
printed contrary to the provisions of
this act, or to mark the ballot of any
voter, or to deliver to any voter such
marked ballot for the purpose of ascer
taining how he shall vote at: nv elec
tion."
Now, while it is declared unlawful
to print, distribute or cast ballots which
are not in the prescribed form, the act
does not forbid the inspectors to receive
and count such ballots. The law is
very stringent against their preparation
but its prohibitions cease from the mo
ment they are deposited iu the boxes.
It has not a word nor a syllable which
precludes the inspectors from receiving
or the canvassers from counting them.
If it had gone to this extent the Judi
ciary would no doubt have declared
the law unconstitutional, as conflicting
with rights of voters established by an
authority superior to the Legislature.
The drift of judicial decisions in this
and other States on similar points is
that the substance of the suffrage must
not be yielded to mere points of form
and that laws must not be strained
against the rights of citizens. But un
der the recent New York law there is
no room for conflicting interpretations.
It docs not declare ballots void il they
deviate from the prescribed form; it
it does not say they shall not be re
ceived by the inspectors, does not say
they shall not be counted; but only
that the persons preparing, distributing
or easting them shall be liable to pun
ishment. This is precisely analogous
to the law against bribing voters. If a
citizen is bribed to vote in a particular
way both he and the briber are subject
to penalties, but his vote is counted all
the same as if it hud been east from
honest motives. There can be no im
putation of bad motives when a citizen
intending to vote for Uarfield, offers a
Garfield ballot which has two liucs
printed on tho outride instead of one
line. He would have used a ticket in
the lepra! form if one had been put into
his hands, aud the law respects his in
tention and his constitutional right to
vote. The fact that tht law dots not
forbid such votes to be counted is con
clusive against the new pretension Xo
court can enforce a rule which the Leg
islature has not enacted. There is
probably great exaggeration as to the
number of such ballots which have
been cast. Most of the Republican
electoral ballots were printed un
der direction of the Republican
State Committee and were strictly reg
ular in form. They were distributed
in abundance throughout the State,
and there was no reason why any local
committee should act in the matter at
all. Suppose it should turn out that
the irregular ballots were surrepti
tiously printed by the Democrats with
a view to have them flung out ? What
motive could the Republicans in any
county have fur incurring the expense
when they had only to send to the
State Committee to get all the elector
al ballots they needed forwarded to
them gratis? It looks too much like a
Democratic trick for smuggling into
the ballot boxes, through the hands of
unsuspecting Republicans, irregular
Garfield votes in the hope that they
might be rejected by the canvassers.
If such a fraud has been attempted no
honest Democrat will lend himself us
an accomplice aft r the fact.
In the Board of State Canvassers
there is one Democrat; but be is a gen
tleman of such high and sterliug honor
that he will not make protests against
the counting of any part of the Gar
field vote which has been honestly giv
en. His written protests would amount
to nothing if made, except to furnish
pretexts for counting out Garfield by
Congress. Neither young Mr. Sey
mour nor the venerated adviser whom
he mosts respects can be relied on by
Barnum and Kellv to share their dis
grace in playing such a game. No in
telligent man doubts that Garfield has
really carried New York, and uo honest
man will join in an attempt to deprive
him of what he has won.— New York
Herald.
110 IV TO HA VE ICE NEXT SUM
MER.
A great many people do without ice
in the summer—though the ponds aud
streams at their door furnish an abun
dant supply eve' y winter—simply be
cause they imagine that an expensive
icehouse is needed to hold the ice. A
gentleman who once labored under the
same delusion, describes in the Tri
bune the experience by which he was
led to store his summer supply of ice
successfully, without an icehouse, after
paying dearly in disappointment, loss
of ice, and loss of money, through hav
ing "too much icehouse." He was
convinced of his error by the circum
stance that the more pains betook with
his icehouse the more rapidly his ice
melted, while a neighbor who had no
icehouse at all always had plenty of
ice. The practice of the latter was
simply to pile his ice in a square body
under a cow shed having a northern
exposure, the first layer of ice being
raised above the ground so as to secure
good drainage, anil the whole covered
thickly with sawdust. Boards set on
end around the ice pile served to keep
the sawdust in place. The gentleman
referred to says:
A pile of ice six feet high, eight feet
wide, and eight feet long will make
three hundred and eighty-four cubic
feet. And this is enough for the use
of an ordinary family for the table and
to cool the cream, etc. Six team loads
fill an icehouse which contains about
four hundred cubic feet. The blocks
should be cut as smooth as possible
and square, so they will lit closely, anil
then ice must be chopped up fine and
crowded in between the pieces so as to
make a solid mass. The closer the ice
is packed, and the more solid the mass
is united together, the better it will
keep. When an icehouse is too close,
there is a great deal of condensation,
which makes the whole contents wet
and dripping, and causes the ice to melt
rapidly. The air must be kept as dry
as possible, one secret of keeping ice
being plenty of ventilation. The more
ice there is in a pile the better it wil
keep. A small quantity must be cov
ered deeper and thicker than a large
mass. A large mass will almost keep
itself. It does not require the protec
tion of sawdust, but straw or a double
wall of boards will be ample. Every
person who makes butter ought to
have ice. It will more than pay for
use in the diary, and then for the fami
ly it is a luxury every provident man
should supply.— Scientific American.
ARTISAN AM) ARTIST.
A critical writer in an English mag
azine (the Cornlrill) finds a potent
cause for the separation between artis
tic and industrial work in the rapid
growth of the manufacturing system
in Northern Durope.
"During the Middle Ages the pain
ter, the sculptor and the wood-carver
were all higher handicraftsmen whose
handicraft merged insensibly into that
! of the decorator, the joiner, the jeweler
and the potter. These lower trades
still gave an opportunity for the dis
play of individual taste, of artistic
I fancy, of that capricious quaintness
j which form , perhaps, the greatest
| charm of mediteval workmanship. But
' with the employment of machinery the
separation became broad and pronounc
ed. Steam-woven patterns anu calico
prints have superseded the hand-made
embroidery and rich brocades of earlier
times. Cheap moulded crockery and
stain| ied designs have taken the place
'of jars turned upon the wheel and
painted decorations. Wall papers
hang where tapestry hung before, and
chintzes cover the chairs that were
once covered by delicate needle work.
Electroplate teapots machine-made
jewelry, and ungainly porcelain vases
replace the handicraft of humble Cel
linis, unknown Ghibertis, or inglorious
Palissies. Under the influence of this
cause, industrialism become frankly
cheap ami ugly, while lestheticism re
treated into the lofty upper region of
( the three recognized line arts

ness of his plumage, the proud way in
which he carries Lis head, nr the state
ly style of his foot-t* ;w. there is miu h
iji his general walk aud eonvers ttion
ihat compels attention. When he litis
up his voice in a shrill scream whose
notes re-echo as far as the ear can
reach, we are attracted, even if we do
not admire. lie stru s about with an
air of importance, as if he owned the
whole neighborhood and could impart
information as to the value of every
piece of real estate therein. From
personal appearance he might be im
posed to be both wealthy an-i tul. -ri-.i.
for his feathers are giit-i and !iN
dainty demeanor betokens a certain
kind of culture. Jf he were »>r:!y
shrewd enough to hud his i >ngtic\
people might not discover what tin
empty-headed creatine ho i- His
speech betrays him. He tells his
story with such mock dignity as to
expose the shallowness of his preten
sions. A rid vet he is hap v bin;- •
he i.s all unconscious of the fact that he
is si; easily seen through as if made of
green g!. - instead of being clad in
tho.-i u geous »reen feathers. To go
on d;«.ss parade this biped has no equal
It is in the performance of solid duty
that he is found lacking. For regular
usefulness the ordinary barn-yard hen
is his superior. While he lives the
peacock is of no particular use. When
slain there is but little of him, and
that little makes a not very s..vory
meal. The common duck, who wad
dles through the mire aud quacks as
he waddles, is, whether alive or dead,
a far more desirable bird than the pea
cock in all his poiup and pride.
We must not blame the poor pea
cock for his apparent vanity and air
ishuess, for circumstances beyond his
control have made these traits a part
of his being. For him to strut is as
natural as for the duck to waddle. He
comes as honestly by that high-toned
screech as the canary by his tuneful
song. The gay feathers grew in his
tail by the same decree of Providence
that provided bristles for the pijf's
back :tnd wool for that of the sheep.
If the bird docs his best it is not for
us to find fault with him. Rut if hu
man beings of whom better things
might be expected find no higher aim
than to ape the bird of brilliant plum
age and stately mien, they may justly
be made to serve as targets for the ar
rows of the critic. There are some
human beings who are born with
golden spoons in their mouths and for
whom there is no special mission in
the world except to count their spoons
and strut on dress parade. Happily
these people are few ; so f"W, indeed,
that the world can afford to feed them
in pay for the sport and the instruc
tion they afford. The sport is mingled
with instruction, for as the world
amuses itself by looking at these good
people and watching their antics while
ori dress parade, it learns Irom them a
wholesome lesson, namely, t> be as
little like them as possible. Wh n
men and women of whom the world
expects service neglect their work to
put on airs and to play peacock, th •
sport ceases and the display becomes
in the highest degree melaicholy.
One of the saddest sights is a pea
cock caught in a storm. A common
barn yard fowl looks sorry enough as
he stands on one leg in the rain, with
dripping feathers closely adhering to
his stalwart form, liut sucli a wet
fowl is beauty itself compared with
tht: forlorn appearance of the draggled
and disastrous peacock when soaked
with rain and stuck up w:th mud
His proud head droops, his tail triils
in tl.e mire and each step seems a
mixerere. Thus it is with the airisb
person from under whom the stilts ol
pomposity are knocked and who, hav
ing for some time been appraised at
his own estimate, suddenly finds him
self marked down to what the world
justly considers his actual cash
value. The world makes some mis
takes, but it has a fashion of marking
values of this sort with a reasonable
degree of accuracy.— I'hi In. Tunc .t.
PICKING AND PACKING AP
PLES.
Winter apples designed for long
keeping should not be harvested until
they developetl color and flavor natural
to the ripe fruit. Many sorts may
hang on the tree with benefit until
there is danger of injury from frosts.
Varieties that ripen irregularly ought
to be gathere.i accordingly. It is a
worse blunder to allow the Iruit to re
main until over ripe than the other
extreme of picking while immature.
Harvest apples in dry weather only,
for fruit free from atmospheric mois
ture when taken from the tree, other
things being equal, keeps longest.
Always hand-pick apples which are to
be stored, and be careful not to bruise
or break the skin in subsequent hand
ling. Secure the fruit from sun and
storms until sorted. Many of our be.-t
penologists have two sets of hands at
time of harvest, one for gathering the
apples and* the other for sorting and
packing immediately in barrels. Shake
the barrels gently two or three times
during the process of lillitig, t > insure
the apples packing closely ; press the
head heavily down and secure it tight
ly to avoid all movements of the fruit
inside. I'laet the barrels in some dry
cool spot, and do not store in the cellar
until the approach of freezing weather.
Apples require to be kept in as low a
temperature as may be and not freeze.
The cellar or house employed for stor
ing this fruit should be well ventilated.
Until within a short time fruit growers
have generally argued that apples
should be stored in a dry place. Of
late, advocates for a damp atiu >sphere
have appeared. One of them in writ
ing iu the Massachusetts Ploughman,
gives his experience with apples stored
in damp, dark cellars. These, he says,
were brighter, firmer and less decayed
than were those iu dry cellars. Eighty
barrels of russets, gceenings and bald
wins in barrels not headed up ami just
above water on stones and timbers in
a cellar with a spring, kept well. In
the face of experiences similar to the
one here cited the popular mode is
I storing late in dark, dry, airy cellars.
.4 Mi:RICA N INCOMES.
There is no table of the average du
ration of fortunes ; but the statistics of
business failures in the country s'n<-e
lSi'ft show that the average vearlv
failures ramrod tr<>m 1 in H3 in tl.e
year 1871, to lin 7<i in 1 7t>. How
many business men in a thousand fail,
once or more, during their business
lifetime, I cannot li srn. The prop, r
tion used to bo estimated, for New
England, at !>7 per cent. That is prob
ably too high a fitrure for the business
f to-dav. co: ducted as it istipor. n: H<-1;
shorter credits than formerly. Rut the
proportion of tra lers who fail is prob
ably not lower than 7fi per cent, of t.ie
whole number.

Rut these W; re not inclines ft-. m capi

later, the cen.- i- eturncd no less than
two millions ol j '!> •.*, who
live entirely upon thi ir invested
means. In 1877 seven and a half mil
mions of the pc pie—on'-fifth of the
population—were enrolled as rentes
holders or savings-banks depositors ;
but it must bo added that the savings
banks do not often tail with us. Most
of these dop -its are small ones. Rut
no less than two millions of the
French can say with Petrarch, Parva
ted apta mihi: "It is little enough,
but it will do for me.''
Thus, in spite or the almost univer
sal search for wealth, and in spite of
the fact that we have a great many
rich men at any given time, we still
<lo not have a large class of permanent
ly rich men ; we do not even have,
like the French, a large class of per
sons who have a permanent though
small competence. The rich Ameri
can's wealth is extremely volatile; in
nine cases ont ol ten it is "fairy qolil."
The old land-owners form the chief ex
ception to the rule ; especially in our
large cities, where the increase of val
ues has been great.
Hut it our cities <>f permanently
wealthy people is small, so also is our
class of destitute people. We are fo r
tunate in having few of the very rich
or the very poor, in having no such
immense and harmful inequality ol
fortunes as we see in modern Eng
land. Our ill fortune is this, that our
class of moderate competences is also
enial', thiit so few of us, in spite of our
opportunities an I our labors, have
seized the good of even a small as
sured competence. Tuc land is full of
people who have not, on the other
hand, and who are not likely to have,
any assured competence, however mod
erate, Wilt who have nothing to expect
but labor to the end. That is, indeed,
the appoint) d hutuan lot for the ma
jority in any community ; but need it
be, in a country of res jur es liko this,
so nearly the universal lot ? Might
not many of us avoid it by a greater
care for a moderate competence, a les
sened ambitioa for fertun's ?—T. M.

THE AMERICAN APPLE CROP
It is gratifying to lie able to record
that, notwithstanding the failure of
the crop of apples in this country, we
are to Lave abundant supplies from
America. Ace mats from UosSon re
ports the croj s to be the largest for
many years, perhaps to the extent of
10 or 50 per cent. I'p to June 30,
18S0, the shipments from Iloston to
England amounted to 17-J,-sTbarrels,
of a money value equal to over i'7o,-
000. It is expected that with the
heavy crop this season the exports for
the current year will nearly double
those figures. Already large supplies
are coming to hand from New York,
the Anchor Line steamers arriving at
Glasgow last week having over 5,000
bar: !s, whieh sold i.t moderate prieos
for the < arly time of the year. The
fruit, as a rule, is of excellent quality,
and when it arrives in good soun I con
dition will keep for a considerable
time.
Manv grocers consider it advantage
ous to add green fruit to their g< neral
stock, and tin: public begin t.i !i id out
that they can purchase from the gro
cer at a cheaper rate than from the
fruit merchant. In thesy times when
the *er is best on every side by op
position from an I "'wholesale
retailers," el :., it behooves them to
look e "-iund for fresh articles for sale
where'.v they may recover their loss.
To lho.su who have not already clone
so we would ay: Add the green
fruit business to your trade, and we
art; of opinion that you will not have
any cause to regret it, provide I the
business be conducted with caro and
discrimination, and only such articles
purchased as are found to be in demand
in their respective localities.— London

j SCM.VIXG UP THE VICTORY.
.1/. Address to the Country by the Re
publican National Committee.
In a few brief paragraphs, ex-Sena
tor Stephen VY. Dor.-ey, Secretary of
the Republican National Committee,
on l»i hall of that botlv, sums up ill the
following address the results of the
.glorious victory won on November 2.
Pisivyarding or making light on the
whimperings of the Democrats, the
address promised that Garfield and
Arthur. with 213 Electoral votes, and
a popular majority in the Northern
.Mates ol 520,000 will be inaugurated
o.i March 4, 1881. Resting upon the
emphatic majority by which the Re
publicans elected their candidates, the
committee feel justified in making the
announcement which will be issued to
day and is given here :
The Republican National Commit
t . presents to the country a resume of
tii ■ sw epintr victory won by our par
ty o i t'uesday, Novemlier 2, which
has been so cheerfully accepted bv all
thoughtful and patriotic meu, and by
the urreat business and commercial in
terests of the nation.
Gariield and Arthur have received
213 electoral votes, and will be inaug
urated President and Vice President
March 4, 1881.
The actual result in New Jersey,
California and Nevada is so dose tin*,
it cannot be as -en i".until the offi
cial count is made, but we have reason
t> believe that at least one, and per
haps two, of these States have given
their electoral vote to our candidates.
The popular majority for Garfield
and Arthur will not fall short of 520,
000 in the Northern States.
The majority of General Ilanck in
the Northern States will hardly reach
1,800.
If the Republicans of the South had
been permitted to vote as they wished,
and have "their votes counted ns they
were cast," at least six of these States
would have recorded majorities rang
ing from 5,000 to 40,000 for our tick
et.
The majorities, therefore, claimed by
our adversaries in most of the South
ern States we regard unworthy of con
sideration. We have carried the Leg
islature of every Northern State except
Nevada, where a straightout Demo
crat will be elected to succeed Mr.
Sharon.
After the 4th of March next the
United States Senate will stand 37
Republicans, 37 Democrats and 2 In
dependents.
Two Southern States given to the
Democrats in the above estimate are
yet to elect Senators, and it is not
unlikely that we shall secure ono of
them.
in the lower house of Congress we
have not less than 12 majority.
No officer of the present Congress
can reduce or imperil this majority ex
cept by a revolutionary act. Garfield
anil Arthur have been elected by un
paralleled popular maj irities in that
portion ;.f the country where tkc right
of rvery citizen is recognized to vote
as lie pleased and have his vote honest-
Iv counted.
This result of the intelligent and free
N >rth is a chaste and lou 1 answer to
tile indecent manner in which our ad
versaries have waged the whole of tho
campaign.
Republicans may be assured that no
af,erthought of two or three mortified
ami desperate leaders ot the minority,
under party censure, will be
allowed to trifle with this mighty ver
dict or prevent the organization of the
(i iverniiieiit on the appointed day by
the resolute men chosen to adniiu
