SORAINTOlV. AUOUST 22. 1895.
If Senator Quay la really anxious to
become a genuine reformer, how soon
may the pattern pubHo expect his lilwr
atWn from the auspicious companion
ship of "Willing heavh and Andrews?
Has No Mortgage on the Party.
The newspaper through -wMoh Con
gressman Soranton burns Incense In
recognition of 'hla own fancied Impor
tance calU a portion of the proceeding
at Tuesday' meeting of the Republican
county committee "an unsuccessful
effort to spring a snap convention."
It presumably has reference to the
e-mjitarart offered by W. E. Davis to
Wade M. Finn's motion fixing the date
of county convention at Sept. IT,
the object of that amendment being to
call the convention one week earlier;
that Is to eay. on Sept 10. This Imma
terial difference of aeven Gays in the
suggested datta of a convention, the
call for which has been expected for
weeks, is magnified into an effort to
"sprmg e snap convention" for no
other purpose than to create the false
Impression that the date of the conven
tion is of any particular Importance.
A a matter of fact. 14 Is of absolutely
no eigrrtftoanoe whatever, and nobody
knows this better than the absent edi
tor of the Republican, who, before he
sailed for Europe, is reported to have
announced the twnptdessntew of his can
didacy for national delegateshtp honors,
and to have withdrawn from the fight.
So far from fearing that iMr. Soranton
could by his presence and counsel "In
terfere" with any "plans" concerning
the county convention, those who are
nciw charged by the Republican with
endeavoring to take an undue advan
tage of his absence have been and are
wholly indifferent on the subject of Mr.
Scranton's whereabouts. The only
thought that arises In connection with
that subject, now that k is mentioned,
Is that It appears, a trifle impudent for
this chronic patron of the public crib
to expect the Republican party In Lack
awanna county always to" accommodate
tWelf to Iris) movements.
As to the Republican's statement that
there (was any ' "desire to humiliate
Congressman Scran-ton, who has done
more to build up the Republican party
in Lackawanna county than the entire
aquad of combine leaders," It Is, of
course,- as untrue as are the majority
of Its utterances concerning local poli
tics. Passing by the question of pro
priety involved in this airly praising
of a -man in his own newpaper, it can
be said with entire frank neos that the
less whining the Scranttm Republican
indulges in In Ms absent owner's be
half, the better he -will probalbly be
pleased upon bis return. While It is
true fiutf for "nearly thirty years J. A.
BcnuvUm has tenaciously fattened on
the Republican forty In this section ; It
is by no means clear that lie can estab
lish a claim to a perpetuation of this
personal advantage, or th4 tie -will
"want to run the risk of another at
tempt to do so,
(According to Senator Ingall. the
time is coming when all partisan poll
tics must be abrogated in municipal
contests. "Before this tidal wave of
civlo reform struck New York and
Chicago," say tie, "wo seemed to have
reached that point where men who were
elected to office appeared ' to lose at
once all seoso of moral responsibility."
We Infer, then, that there is a possi
bility of the restoration of the decalogue
to American poHtica Evidently the
reform fever Is epidemic.
Very Mean Politics.
We do not believe that the Plttston
Gasette, when it shall have .had time
to cool off, will feel very proud of these
remarks concerning the governor of the
commonwealth, to -which 4t gave ut
terance day before yesterday:
When we recall the unprecedented ma
jorities given Governor Huntings last
fall by the long list of reliable Republi
can counties in tha Quay column and ob
serve that barely a dosen counties and
these nearly all Democratic counties
are recorded as endorsing the state ad
ministration In Ms disgraceful fight against
Senator Quay, one Is Inclined to que,
tion the sanMy of the governor. He has
recently attempted to explain some un
pleasant matters with which his name
has been associated by his brother. Major
Hastings, of Philadelphia, by declaring
that the major is mentally unsound. Since
he declares that thore Is Insanity n the
family, It behoove the governor's friends
to keep a watch upon his movements, for
his actiona of lata have been more like
those of -a orasy man than of one in his
senses. s v
This Is not argument.. It has no In
fluence upon men of sense. It more
nearly approaches tha line of down
right personal abuse, . utterly unpro
voked by anything that the chief ex
ecutive of Pennsylvania has 'done or
said, than anything .hitherto printed
during the pending . campaign, The
Plttston Gaiette, we recollect, used Its
columns one year ago .to: urge the
voters f Luiarne county1 to elect Osn-
ral (Hastings governor,! Enuring; the
HastlngsSlngerly canvass it repeated
ly alluded to the present object of Its
abuse tn words of fairly extravagant
praise. M Osasral Hastings was wor
thy at tooonlume thC why should he-
be subjected to vlUlflcatlon now?
Wherein has he changed? By what
acts has he forfeited the confidence
then so magnificently expressed by the
people in his sanity, character and
Judgment?
It Is true that he has broken with
Senator Quay, after the senator had
sought to reduce him to the paltry di
mensions of a servant subjects to or
ders from Boles Penrose and William
II. Andrews. But did that fact alone
transform him from a model official
into a fit subject for coarse allusion
and brutal insinuation? Can the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania afford to
Indorse at next Wednesday's conven
tion a line of campaign which uses libel
an J caricature as the only supplements
to its lavish distribution of cash?
The Situation.
Now that the smoke and din of the
Phllakielphla battle have cleared away.
It Id possible to approximate toa fair es
timate uf the situation in the state. A
conservative review of the field, in the
light of present Information and with
out reference to the various "surprises"
which both parties to the flKht presum
ably hold tn reoerve, and which It is
fair to assume, will practically offset
each other, leaves us of the opinion
that, counting Lehigh alone as doubt
ful, the convention next Iweek will
Him up in the following order:

Thus, although Senator Quay should
capture Lehigh's four votes, which he
does not expect to do, he would yet be
three votes short of a majority. This Is
an exceedingly cautious estimate, which
omits to claim for the administration
at least five delegates now In the Quay
column that have expressed uncertainty
as to their final alignment. The men
who are counted in theGUkeeon column
zre men, who, ail moat without exception,
can be depended upon. Therefore, in
spite of the Quay bluster, It Is a matter
of hard faot that the administration
has won its fight, by from thirteen to
twenty-three majority. It will be
noticed, too, as a highly significant
circumstance, that while the Quay
men Indulge In extravagant and boast
ful claims, they never descend to de
tails. The New Tork Sun has ascertained
that if Senator Quay wins at next
week's convention he win unload Came
ron and throw the senators) Ip Into the
lap of J. Hay Browm Where, In
the Sun's opinion, does the Republican
party come In? ' '
The rtetric System.
A writer In the Philadelphia Bulletin
argues' that Groat Britain and the
United States have stood In their own
way and 'hindered to some extent the
development of progress In all the rest
of the world for many years by refus
ing to Jotirr In the general adoption of
the metric system. Both countries, he
contends, have tried to introduce it end
both having failed the fomer Inglorl
ouBly as a bill to legalize the system
was passed to 18C4 and repealed m 1878.
To make the confusion worse, the
system was enforced In British India
In 1870.
The United Statos has been a little
more successful, though not so much so
as was to be expected after our early
adoption of the decimal system of cur
rency, which Is based on the same
principle. As early as February, 1821,
John Qulncy Adams, then secretary
of state,' made an elaborate report to
congress on the advantages of the sys
tem; but nothing seems to have been
dom about it until 1866, when congress
authorized the coining of a five-cent
nickel piece having oi metric weight of
five grammes and a diameter of two
centimetres. It Is a pity that these de
nominations were not stamped on the
coin in order that the American public
might 'become familiar with them.
In the same year, by a separate act,
congress authorized the use of the met
ric system In this country and adopted
a" table of equivalents; so that it Is
actually legal here to carry on business
by this series of weights and measures,
and all that remains to be done is to
make it popular; but that Is the hardest
part of the work. The system Is now
used in much of the government busi
ness, as In the foreign "business of tha
Postofflce .department, the Marine
Honpltail service, the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, and to some extent In the Mint,
the Signal Service and the Census..
It Is now proposed In England to
make another effort to use the metric
system. A parliamentary committee
w'hlch haa had the subject under cons
ilder&tion has reported tn favor of
adopting' it and making Its use'eom-
ulaory wKfeln iwo years. , Tbls can be
done la Great Britain, where the gov
ernment controls internal affairs, but
probably would not be possible la this
country. Ia the Bulletin's opinion,
which tt may 4e said is shared by all
scientific men and many business men,
there should, however, be some means
of making the use of this system gen
eral la the United States, also. "We
can scarcely afford." It adds, "to remain
Isolated by a stubborn refusal to
measure and weigh ty the only In
telligent system, and one adapted by
all countries with which we have deal
ings; nor shall we care for the trouble
and annoyance the necessity of keep
ing accounts In both systems will per
petually cause us."
We do not underestimate Senator
Quay's wire-pulling dexterity when we
say that his boast of success lndeend
ent of Philadelphia Is a deliberate re
flection upon the Integrity of a majority
of the elected state delegates.
Watermelon Culture.
Northern people who luxuriate In the
delicate and Juicy watermelon at this
season of the year, paying a goodly
sum for their tnelons, doubtless Imag
ine that those who make a business of
cultivating them soon become million
aires. If we may credit what some
of the southern newspapers have to say
on this subject the watermelon growers
are entitled to the greatest commisera
tion. Georgia Is perhaps the most ex
tensive producer of theue melons. Lis
ten to what a recent Issue of the At
lanta Constitution says editorially on
this subject: "The Missouri shippers
get from a cent and a-half to four cents
apiece for their melons after all ex
penses are paid, and the Georgian are
lucky when they get a cent for ten
melons. Instances are given showing
that in many cases recently the melons
did not pay the frelRht. In one expe
rience a shipper received $10 for 8,000
melons, and was so pleased with his
good fortune that he sent the shipper
a letter of thanks."
It Is apparent that somebody makes
money on the waternifliMis that are
consumed by the cor load In every
northern community. The consumer
'pays anywhere from 25 to 60 cents for
his melons. A large portion of this
goes to the transportation companies
and to the wholesale dealer, while the
man wiho owns the soli, prepares it,
plants the seed and gathers and whips
the product, receives almost nothing.
It Is apparent that there Is less money
In raising watermelons than there Is
In transporting them to the markets.
The 'growers In Georgia and other
southern states are becoming dissat
isfied with this kind of division of the
profits.
Put It down as a certain fact that
next Wednesday's battle at Iliarnlsburg
will have to be won on Its merits. It
can never be captuied on the basis of
fake contests and a manufactured roll
call ' -
An economic policy which, not con
tent with causing business depression
at home, proceeds to drain gold out of
the country for the enrichment of for
eign bankers. Is not destined to become
popular again ia these United States.
If Senator Quay has won by so large
a majority, why Is tic so anxious to
have his packed state committee make
up a stuffed roll call?
The Soranton Republican Is assured
of one thing concerning The Tribune's
naw home. It will ibe owned by the
men who build It.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Will Ascertain Uts Mistake.
Pittsburg Times: "Republicans should
see the situation as It really Is. Senator
Quay Is preparing for a fitting and appro
priate climax to tno campaign of false pre
tence, reform hypocrisy, abuse and mis
rvpresentuittion he is waging against Gen
eral Hastings and against the Republican
party. He knows that ho cannot control
a majority of regularly elected delegates
to the reKUlarly called Republican etulo
convention. He seeks a pretext to set up
a convention of his own. His desperate
scheme will tail. The lawfully elected,
duly accredited representatives of the Re
publicans of Pennsylvania will meet in
statu convention in pursuance to the reg
ular call of the chairman of the tate com
mittee, organize In conformity with party
rule end unbroken precedent, ami trans
act the busrness for which they were
brought together. No threats will Inttml
dwtetihem. No fraud will be allowml to rob
them of their rlK'hts. Those who would
go outside of party rule and usage to ac
complish their ends will learn that the
Republican party can defend and main
tain itself against foes within as well us
foes without. Uenator Quay can neither
rule nor ruin IA."
Philadelphia Makes It Certain.
Pittsburg Times: "Philadelphia has
won the light for Governor Hastings and
Chairman Ullkeson. The claim that Sena
tor Quay would win twenty-tbi- " ' 'r
Kates from the Quaker city hu ft
proved to be unfounded. He will h . - it
the outside but fourteen, and ranno ' in
his flKht. The administration suppol is
concede him ten delegates, with thirteen
doubtful districts. Of these latter Hast
ings and Gilkeson have won nine and Sen
ator Quay four, possibly but three. Of the
seventy delegates from Philadelphia
Hastings and GHkeson will have, at the
lowest figures, fifty-six. This gives them
the victory beyond ravll or doubt. On
Monday the Times stated that, with the
delegates already elected for tha governor
and Colonel GHkeson, it needed but forty
two from Philadelphia and Lehigh to give
vlwm a majority of the state conven
tion. Philadelphia alone gives them fifty
six, and IhlKh Is yet to come. Republi
cans who have so manfully stood by Gov
ernor Hastings and Chairman GHkeson In
this fight need have no fears of the final
result. Philadelphia has made victory cer
tain." THREE FISHERS.
.Three fishers went cautiously out the
back door,
In the morning gleam while their moth
ers slept;
Each thought of Ms School room deserted
once more.
And the pious boys Jeered them as
downward hey crept.
Hut boys will fish
While mothers are snug
For fishhooks are plenty,
And worms are a drug.
And the pond Is full of gudgeon.'
Three mothers rose In , their righteous
wrath
As soon as they found that their off
spring ware gone;
Bach sought for her slipper, and fol
lowed the path
Where the dear ones had vanished at
. early dawn.
But boys wtll "hook,"
And mothers are stern
And m smiles they went forth, '
But Jn tears they return,
Though the pond 4s full of gudgeon.'-''
Three ' urchins lay supperless down In
their beds,
And they sighed when their mothers

For their rods had been broken across

And the fishes had been eaten up all

For boys will fish, '
And mothers must "lick"
And the fellow that stands it

CAMERAS IN THE SET.
From the Times-Herald. "
ttoatoa, Aug. 21. It the plans of Profes
sor WUlUun A. KilUy. of bergvn. N. J.,
pruve suvcvsalul, ha will not ears whether
any out Invents a flying machuna r uot
He will accomplish tils purpose saUsbtc
torily by aendlug bis too is of trade up In
mo air by menus of kites. The expert
mont In aeienliUc kne-Hywig conducted
laat summer from -the top of Blue Hill
served to attract wkio attentum through
out tha country. At that time proftsoor
KJuy sent up -tailless Malay kites la re
lays, the object be.ng to probe solentltic
points as to wail and elecu ic.-ty. He haa
for several years followed these experi
ments for the purpose of studying tha
law of upier atmospheric currents, tem
peratures of high altitudes and other kin
dred matters, bast Saturday Mr. Kddy
appeared at Hlue Hill observatory mora
thoroughly equipped than lust year, w.th
apparatus for the pioiiecutloii of his spe
ed! studies. He brought elk'hteen Muluy
kites. 4h majority of them from seven
to n,ne feet in height, built exceedingly
lht, but strong. The frames are of the
lik'htest of pine, covered with thin but
(uukIi tissue puper. As last year, the ex
periments will include the sending up of
instrument for recording tihernionietric
and barometric conditions.
A novel Idea this year I the use of a
camera, attached to the kite strings. This
la not a new Itka, for some experiments
of till sort wera mude by K. Douglas
Archibald, of the Koyal Meteorological
society, in ISM. Mr. Archibald did not,
however, pursue his experiments In this
line, perhaps on account of the Kreut dull
culliy found hi producing satisfactory re
sults. Krom an ultitude of, feet, a pho
tograph taken by Irofoisor .Kddy with
a smull cuini'i'u showed with considerable
distinctness tilie panorama of the earth
directly below. One taken at an estimated
altitude of ) feet was much better than
the llrst, and probably the most success
ful photograph ever taken In the world
from such nn altitude and under such
conditions. Mr. KOd hoes to demon
strate the feHMlbllity (iru-kln such photo
graphs as a useful adjunct to the equip
ment of an army. The line of Vision from
the top of the KIiib Hill, at an altitude of
till) feet, is limited to a horizon of about
thirty-three littles. At an altitude of 2.ti00
feet above this level, such as was reached
today by Mr. 1'dily's kites, the line of
hunzon In. of course, ureatly extended.
A pliofoTniph. successfully taken at such
nn altitude, would, It Is claimed, show
at leust the clouds of dust arising; from
un advancing army, and thus diselusx Its
aprouch nod its whereabouts, greatly to
the advantage of its opponents.
But these Ideas In photography ore rec
ondary only to those in bnrometry, to be
followed !'n the experiments now In prog
ress Rt Hlue Hill. Last Satiinlny the llrst
of these experiments wnn made. A relay
of kites was sent un by Mr. Kddy, assisted
by observers Clayton and Perstisson. The
prime object of the experiment was the nt
tn'nmm't of the greatest pos'iililo altitudes
for purposs of scientific observntlnn. It
is obvious that in ordinary kite flying the
altitudes reached must be limited, on ac
count of the weight of string which the
k'te must of necessity carry. Mr. Kddy
overcomes this dlthVulty by attaching
fresh kites to the main cord at frequent
Intervals, these secondary kites servrtr as
pages to carry the welisht of the cord to
which the first Is attached. At 9.30 a. m.
a relay kite was sent up, followed by two
others attached to the same cord. Next
wns attached a small basket containing
the thermograph. This attained an alti
tude at first of about M feet, but this
was gradually Increased until a height of
nearly 1.0U0 feet was reached. The kites
remained stationary for some time, the
w'nd not beliuj sulliclently strong to carry
ndd'tlonal kites. At 11 o'clock, however,
the wind freshened, and a lnrge nine-foot
W.t was Joined to the eord. This ascended
readily and rapidly and o second and third
were successively added, until six kites,
three on each side of the thermograph,
were attached to the cord. Merrily these
went skvward, until at 1 1 .45 nn altitude
of fully 2.fino feet above the hilltop, or 3.240
feet above the sea level, hud been reached.
This he'.cht is but little short of the high
est altitude reached !n the experiments of
kvst year. Mr. Kddv Is confident of some
Important results from the experiments
this season.
