We view with alarm the abuse of the veto

A power from the use of which Kugland sov

A Magnificent incident of how that
sort of politics breaks down the color

One of the latest attempts to harness
the forces of nature for the service of
man is the adaptation of a windmill for
the turning of a dynamo, the electricity
thus obtained being stored, in suitable

interests. There is a station of this kind
near the mouth of the Seine, and consid
erable success has been obtained.
From the present out-look all welcom

the skies upon Maine, and frighten every,

whether the unmanly, debasing and cow
ardly practice of taking a jug behind a
cellar door or a haystack, and there con
suming its contents and defying the pro
hibition laws so widely prevalent in the
Pine Irec state, had anything to do with
the heavenly visitant. Truly the moral

The fact that there is some fear among
certain classes of business men of the
occurrence of a panic next year or the
year after is a good indication that jt will
not take place so soon. This fear has al
ready produced one good result in cur
tailing land speculation, shortening the
duration of business credits, and curtail
ing loans by banking institutions except
upon the best of security. Heretofore
panics have come without warning, and
there are many reasons for believing that
this will lie the case, to a large extent, in
tho future. In this particular sense the
expected seldom happens. Olnbe Dem.

will appear in the November Harper's,
under the title of'The Winter Climatic
Resorts of Three Continents," by William
Smith Brown. Mr. Brown has for forty
years made the matter a special study in
his wide travels, and masses into nine
pages the net result of his researches re
garding the invalid resorts of Egypt,
France, Italy, Algiers. Spain, Switzerland
and the United States. He specially em
phasizes the vital characteristics of the
chief places in this country to which pil
grimages are made for recuperation of
health and shows that each particular local
ity has its own quality of iniluence.adapt
cd to a certain class of invalidism, and a
limited season of benefit, which must be
carefully regarded if any remedy is to be
derived. What tiie medical profession
has failed to do he has accomplished, by
a broad and careful investigation of all
the health resorts of Europe, Africa and
America, revealing the short-comings and
the advantages of each site.
Tnis free trader acknowledges that
there lias been unexampled development
of the resources of the country since 18(10.
He conccdes'that the wages of Jwoiking
men are higher aud 'the cost of living
lower now than then. The tariff, how
ever, in his opinion, has had much less
to do with this change than inventions
and thcij cheapening of labor processes
have. Therefore it is to the mechanical
skill and dexterity of the people rather
than to any statutory enactments that; the
improvment is doe. Inventiom Las un
doubtedly been one of the immediate
causes, but the chief and primal cause
has been the tariff. This policy has kept
the Amarican market for the American
producer, and thus built up vigorous do
mestic industries. The competition to
which this state of things gave rise, has
as the pioneers and teachers of ths pro
tective policy predicted, proven an
indicative to the development
of inventive skill and thus
simplified, improved and cheapened the
methods of production in nearly every
industry. If there had been no tariff in
the past quarter of a century, there
would have been comparatively little
inducement for invention, and conse
quently the workingman would get less
for what he sells (his labor), and be com
pelled to pay more for what he buys than
he docs to-day. Olole Democrat.
Dr. Depew Talks of Blaine.
Fro. n tlio Chicago Times.
"Well," said Mr. Depew, while his left
foot beat a tattoo on the carpeted floor
of his apartment, "I know that Mr. Blaine
docs not particularly desire the nomina
tion, and yvt, as a matter of fact, he has
no opposition to that ollice. It is a pecu
liar condition of affairs, but there is prac
tically no opposition in the country to
Mr. Blaine's nomination."
''I tell you," he added after a quiet
pause, during which the nervous foot was
also inactive, "the American people have
instinctively a deep-seated sentiment in
favor of fair play. When Mr. Tildcn
was a candidate for thj presidency there
was a large public sentiment, in which I
as a republican did not share, that resolv
ed itself into an almost general belief
that Tildcn was elected as president of
tho United States, and if he had been
nominated again he would have been
clecteii, as sure as guns," and Mr. Depew
brought his right hand down upon the
arm of his chair with forcible emphasis.
"Now," said he, "the people are of the
firm belief that a hysterical response to
an asinine address, delivered by a phe
nomenal jackass with a reverend cogno
men, resulted in the defeat of Mr. Blaine
for the presidency at last election, and if
he should be nominated again the result
will be far different. As it was, he was
defeated only by 700 votes, and since
that time the people have had an oppor
tunity to estimate what they got and
what they have lost by that result."

HOW MACHINERY HAS SUPPLANTED
THE MAN OF THE LAPSTONE.
Mlaerlo WliUU tho Knlgbt of St.
CrUpln Inflict on Their Fellow Crin
t lire Fact Concerning it Kuvolutlon
izetl Trade Manufacturing I'lunt.
' "Ah, but I have no trouble with new shoes,"
explains the self complacent egotist, who al
ways has a patent for everything. 'I only
wear them n few hours each day, and some
times take a whole mouth to break in a new
pair."
But why does lie only wear them a few
hours each day? .And why does he need a
month to make his fret comfortable? Simply
because if a mini in in any respect a tenderfoot,
ho must always keep his new shoes from ono
week to thirty days on probation before ho
will bo quite certain that he will not have to
throw them away or give them to the poor.
Sometimes they revive a latent corn which
tho old shoes in their turn had brought to life,
and then permitted to lie inactivo for a fow
months. Sometimes the leather proves to lo
too hard and inflexible, and binds tho foot
like a vise until the bones nehe and the
niyscles become benumbed. There are men
who can hardly pass a shoo btoro without a
pang, and whose keenest sense of human
misery is derived from their experience with
new shoes.
It may bo held that the shoemakers are not
altogether to blame for the miseries which
they inflict on their fellow creatures. Not
many years since women prided themselves
on having small waists, and sought by arti
ficial means to muke their figures look like
hour glassed. But the corset makers were
not the parties to be held responsible. Tho
fault was to be charged to a jHjrverted artistic
sense, to a conviction that an unnaturally
small waist added to tho feminine power of
fuscination. It did nothing of the sort. It
only made the female figure look ridiculous,
and such also is tho effect of many of tho
fashions which obtain iu shoes on tho shape
of the feet: But no matter. If the shoe it
self, without any reference to the purpose for
which it was fashioned, bo only an ugreeable
object to tho eye, there will bo a man found
to put his foot in it.
And what is the result? Hard nnd soft
corns, bunions, much suffering pnd some
times profanity. "What, too, is the artistic
result? Wero any artist to paint a picture
with baro feet, aud follow accurately tho
most perfect model that could be found among
tue adult shoo clad population of Europe or
America, he would fail to get a place for his
work in any respectable exhibition. To this
complexion has it come at last. Wo must go
to the nursery, tho savago tribes, or to the
antique, if wo wish to know what nature in
tended to create when she fashioned a human
foot. Babies, North A merican Indians, aud
statues have toes, but civilized men and
women havo them no inoro. They have only
a compressed mass of bones, muscles, and
corns where toes ought to bo permitted to
grow and expand. But wero tho fashionable
shoemaker to defy the prevailing taste nnd
offer a covering for tho foot that would per
mit a natural growth, ho would find no cus
tomers. According to tho modern conception
of what Ls shapely, nature made a mistake
when she fashioned a foot broader at tho toes
than at the instep. But tho modern idea of a
pretty foot is about as nearly coiTect as tho
recently modern idea of a pretty waist; ami
were shoes modeled after tho exact natural
form of tho foot, we should soon learn to won
der how wo ever tolerated any o'.her model.
No industrial revolution was ever more
complete than the revolution which has taken
place in shoemakiug during the last twenty
five years. Tho cobbler we shall have alwaj's
with us; but thehoemaker has almost com
pletely changed his form. It is to ho feared,
too, that he is no longer entitled to claim tho
protection of his tutelar St. Crispin, for ho
has become the servant of a witch. And such
a witch! Driven to its highest capacity a
singlo McKay machine has been known to
clap the soles upon 1.200 pairs of new shoes
within ten hours, aud it takes 300 hands,
working in great part with yet other ingeni
ous labor saving machines, to feed one of
these insatiable stitchers, and clear away the
tables after it has finished. It will bo seen,
therefore, that the McKay machlno is not
only a witch itself, but that it is a boss witch.
In the best provided shops tho side stitching,
heeling and even the lasting are done by sub
sidiary machines, and so also would be ths
cutting, wero it not for tho Imperfections of
tho leather, which demand the services of a
practiced ee iu selecting the parts that are
fit for use. Yet the work is done with so lit
tle effort that a motor of singlo horse power
would drive a half dozen or more of the Mc
Kay machines at one and the same time.
After this statement of its capacity it will
bo seen that it is only fair metaphor and not
hyperbole to call tho machine a witch. It is
eminently proper, too, that the chief seats of
its activity should be found at Iynn nnd
Haverhill, cities in the same state with witch
killing Salem, and not so distant as to be un
congenital in their origin. But the city of
Lynn, notwithstanding its reputation, is not
so much a monopolist at shoemaking as
Bomo persons suppose. New York claims
everything, and within her wilderness of
brick and mortar she is continually evolv
ing phenomena that are a surprise to even
her own citizens. Who would beliovo that
within a mile and a half of the city hall,
mainly, indeed, within a quarter of a mile of
that place, there are almost as many firms of
shoe manufacturers as are to be found in
either of the cities of Lynn or Haverhill? The
statement would not bo believed were it not
possible to furnish tho figures. But it is quito
possible. There are ISO firms in Lynn, ITS in
Haverhill, nnd 172 in New York.
But Lynn will boast of the size of her fac
tories, and point to the annual value of her
new shoes as evidence of her general superi
ority. It is certain that she has some pretty
largo factories, and can point to one firm that
turns out 10,000 pairs of shoes each day. But
there is a firm in New York that produces
shoes to tho value of about $1,000,000 annual
y,and there are others that run well up among
the hundreds of thousands. Estimates differ
on tho comparative valuo of tho products of
the two cities, but in this respect wo must
concede to Lynn a long lead over tho me
tropolis. Judging from the report of goods
shipped through Boston between the first of
last January and tho last of August, and giv
ing to Lynn her probable proportion of tho
total, her annual product cannot amount to
much less than $25,000,000, whilo tho annual
product of New York is not estimated at more
than $10,000,000.
It has been said that the capacity of the
shoe manufacturing plant in the L'uited
States is equal in three months to the market
demands of one entire year. This may bo
true so far as the shoemakiug machines are
concerned, but it is evidently not true when
the question of skilled workmen for feeding
and operating the machines is involved. Say
that the manufacturers in tub city make
4,000,000 pairs of shoes each year. That
would be about the proper estimate on a valu
ation of S 10,000,000. But there arc 1.500,000
pairs of fet in New York city alone, and
they would manage to get through with
pretty nearly 4,000,000 pairs of shoes in ono
year, even were thero no demand from
abroad. New York Sun.
