The nomination of Glover is regard- od as an anti-Wolfe victory and the Stal warts are very jubilant, Bro, Cornelius can be proud of his 125 ~hotter to have that than to run as tem- perance and anti-temperance, like one of the public good, When an office secker is all things to all men and “nothing with him. When he will lie, trade off his district aud then cheat the ones he trades with, plays temperance and aunti- temperance, and does kindred things to gain a nomination, you cannot give Lim your support if you advocate honesty in politics, and you are no better than the corrupt Republican whom you proposed to hold up to scorn for being gailty of the same work, If the Democratic party in Centre county wants to get back to its old n jorities it must use care in its nomina- tions.

The following is tbe text of the ex. pulsion bill as 1t passed the Chamber of Deputies: Article 1, The territory of the French Republic is sud rem=ins juterdicted to the heads of thie amilies heretofore reigning over France and their direct Lieirs in order of priwogeniture.

H. Thurston discusses in the June number of “The Forum” the inter. esting qnestion of the limit of speed in ocean going steamers, Profiting by the example of the distinguished scientist who forty years ago predicted that no steamship could be made to carry coal enough to cross the Atlantic, the present writer makes no rash assertions. He thinks, however, giving his reasons therefore, that not improbably “those of us who live to the next century may see the Atlantic crossed in less than four days.” Yet the professor does not dis cuss, as a measnre of increased speed, the use of liquid fluid for coal. Admiral Selwyn of the British navy, has shown that by the use of oil “a vessel can carry twice as Ruch power of propulsion as a vessel with ’ On the Caspian Sea many Russian steamers employ oil fuel exclosively, In & recent experiment with the British steamer Himalaya, the consumption of oil waa reported as only one ton per diem, while previously the average consumption of coal was nine tons per diem.
