In foretasting the political pinbabll ltlcs In Pennslanla thl vcar sight must not be lost of the lighting' parson from Dauphin county. He may once mote beepmo n large 11 j In the oint ment. It begins to look somewhat doubtful whether the Wannmaker tevolt Is go ing tn fulfill the epeetaliont of Its founders. The campaign la joung and fre It shall be concluded theie will be abundant oppottunlty for the disclos ure of surprises and the consequent re vision of estimates. Hence it Is not jet to be Infer! ed that the Wnnnmakei movement has fallen Hat Hut It Is undeniable that It has started llmp lngly and that, o far as the captuip of a maJoilt of delegates Is concerned. Its prospect Is far fiom blight. Theie nppeats to bo widely diffused among many Itepublleans, who aie not es pecially enamored of Andrews, Stone nnd that gioup of leadeis, a feeling of distrust of Jlr. Wanamaker In his pres ent tole as a political John the Haptlst tilng to i tear a pathway for tho nomination ot a bitter man than hlm Mlf. Thole Itepublleans want honest goemmcnt nt Hanlsburg. They don't wnnt the public funds to be stolen or misapplied. The) don't want a new capitol job foisted on the tapaers of the commonwealth. They don't want another legislature to repiat the mis takes, the IndKeietlons and we might ulmost sav the crimes of the last one. In the.se pattlculats they ate hand In gloe with Jlr Wanamaker, Mr. Ulnnk enburg, the Messrs. Van Valkenbeig nnd Finnic Wllllns I.each. Hut the tuilous phenomenon of their nttltudo at this time Is that while they aie for leform and In dead earnest, they do not appear to be elnclng any uncontiollable anxiety to .stampede In to the Wanamaker camp On tho con trary they appear to regaid the sac lillclal candidacy of tho Philadelphia mcrehnnt v It li almost tantalUIng In dilTerenre i:ldcntly he does not Im press them as a lofnrmer wholly un h 'Iish and stilctlv genuine. Appar ently they hao not foi gotten the dis closures made during the late sena torial ruu4b3( and aie reluctant to accipt at faie value professions of lr tue In him which by an unconscious mental process at once suggest an in terrogation point. The "Wanamaker following, -o fai as we can puee!e, Is a lively and a oclfuous one, but numeric illy It appear.s to be much Mnallcr than that quiet body of think ing lJepvbllcan liters which has not j el hoisted any factional emblem to the summit of Its Hag pole, but which, by all accounts, Is a foicc In polities to be icikomd with and one which If affionted at Haulsbutg on June 2, will make history in Pennsylvania on the eighth da of the following November. This gieat, thinking, silent vote was cast five months ago for Br. Swallow. It midp little stli In advance, but when the ballots were counted It suipilbed folks. Will It suppoit the Dauphin lep icsentatlve of the church militant again? We commend this Inquiry to tho attention of the He publican lead ers They may laugh and wax saieas tle at the flattening campaign of Hon. John Wanamaker, but aie they In any position to smile with safety at tho possibilities involved in the candidacy of Dr. Swallow? If they think they are, the tilumph of tho ling candidate on June 2 may be Mt down as eettalu Hut In that evint the icsponslblllty for the consequences will not be with those who seek in the meantime to open' the leadeis' cjes. The Maine's death list has been offic ially estimated at JC6, and the monu ment of these I rave sailors will boon be Cuba made free. Anthracite for Nnval Purposes. Tlr? jeccnt action of the Commercial club" o'f "Wilkos-Barro In urging upon congress tho superior merits of nn tlnaclte as compared with bituminous coal us fuel for naval purposes has met with unexpected Indorsement. The Washington Post says: "Nearlj every ofllcer who has com manded Ann of, our ships during the past few ifeais has had personal knowl edgev'uf accidents narrowly nverted ns the result of combustion In the coal bunkers next to the ship's magazine. Tho repori of the naval board, recently published",-shows that on more than twenty pccaslons vltbln tho immediate past combustion In the coal bunkers has occurred und tragedies have been avoided .by the merest accident of dis covery ( Frequently the steel bulkhead between tho bunkers and tho magazine has been found red hut und the wooden shelves on which the powder Incased In "Jetal tubes was stored were charred by't.he intense heat. The fuct that thescpnaitlons were knpwn In time docs, not affe'et tho fact that the peril Is constantly at hand. 'Vhat Is said about the evil effects of soffliai smoKc Is. equally pertinent. TnUfcQ'ttf.WFetf ju the reposition 'that If sinoUeUfg powder is necessary to the mcienoy" of naval operations, so ulso Is smokeless coal. A vessel burning oftCo3iUcon be detected miles away w hen 4ivVisel burning ant uracils .miry evndo discovery. Why should tho gov ernment expend millions on smokeless powder nnd yet, In older to save, a few cents per ton, ndhore to the dirty and dangi'iom soft coal which neutral izes every advantage secured by that expenditure? It Is a matter of com mon knowledge that, In the naval maneuvers last year, tho squadron being under command of Admiral Huncc, the smoko from the ships' fun nels constituted quite as serious an obstnelo to ncrurato practice as the smoke from tho old-fashioned powder would have done. Tho question raised by the Wajkes-Uurrc people Is worthy ot the most serious attention. Every naval olllcer of experience will say so." These confessions are the more re markable when we remember that tho Post Is published In a community largely Interested In bituminous coal mining. Wo believe that the advant ages of anthracite on board war ships In cruise or u action would be much more than sufficient to offset the larger cost, and It Is possible that this fact will yet bo brought effectively to the attention of the navy department. Polo denle.s that he said Spain wouldn't fight If we should lecognlze Cuban Independence. What Polo or Spain says or thinks on this BUbject is no longer n matter of consequence In this country. Irrespective! of It Cuba must be free. Recognition ot Independence. The diplomatic consequences of Amer ican recognition of the Cuban lepubllc aio thus explained In the Washington Post: The proposed recognition will not change tho stutus of General Lee. Ho will still bo the consul general ot tho I'nlteil States at the Spinlsli port of Havana, unci will remain such until Hav ana passes Into the control of the In sui gents The republic ot Cuba will bo regarded ns all that part of the Island not under Spnnlsh control. I nlted States consuls now In the cities and towns will still remain accredited to Spain, but lliej will muloubtcdlj hold unolllclal rc litlons with the Insurgents, and In case h city oi town is enptured and held by the Cubans for a iiasonuble length of time the consul at that place will then be accredited to the republic of Cuba. Jn fact tho condition will bo very similar to those which eslsted in this country during the civil war Hrltish consuls who wcie redding In lllchmond, Charles ton and other southern cities, still hold theii exequaturs fiom the Vnlted States government but were unofficial Urltlsh jgen'r in their relations to the Confed eral 1hc communicated with the Urlt lsh minister at Wahlngton through the line". Just as the consuls In Cuba will undoubtedly, unless In some exigency of military movement, Communicate through the linei wl'h Consul Cencral Lee at I Ira mm. This explanation, wo take It, pre supposes that when the I'nlted States government shall have recognized Cu ban independence It will go no fur ther. Hut unless It should prove rec reant to one of the most cheilshed of Its tiadltlons, how could It consistently itop at that point? In the message of Piesldent Jlonroe to congress in 1823 outlining what has ever since been known as tho Monioe doctrine, this language was used. "With the gov einmente who have doelaied their In dependence nnd maintained It, and whose Independence we have on grave consfdeiatlon, nnd on just ptinclples acknowledged, we could not view any Interposition for the puipose of oppres sing them or controlling In any other manner their destinj bv any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfilendly dispo sition toward the United States." It thiV country shall on Just principles acknowledge the independence of the Cuban republic It will hardly make the mistake of holding that the Cuban re public lepresents only a part of Cuba, dividing with Spain the icmalnder. I'nlwis the Cuban provisional govern ment should itself consent to shuie the island with Spain the presence of Spanish troops on hostile errand In any part of Cuba would constitute, It seems to us, a direct violation of tho principle and spirit of the Monioe doctrine, and we should be irr duty bound to notify Spain accordingly. This would bring tho whole subject to an "immediate Is sue and penult the prompt carrying out of the will of the American peo ple that Cuba shall be flee in fact and In name Spain's title to Cuba hae been for feited by Spain's unexampled misrule. Why pay further deference to It? Congies will make a mistake if It shall permit the currency question to nrlse In debate at this time and im peril tho splendid unanimity of feeling which, urrder the stimulus of a foreign emergency, has so leccntly caused the disappearance of party lines. A Theorist. It was a significant fact that the only voice of objection raised In this coun try to the recent patriotic actlotr of congress in voting $30,000,000 Into the president's hands for the nation - de fense came from the president's whil om udversary nnd ilval, Hon. William L 'Wilson, author of the Wilson taiiff bill. In Ms far-away sanctum as ex ecutive of Washington and Lee unl vcrvltj at Lexington, Va , he no soon er le-irned of this remarkable action tht n he took occasion to criticize it. Tho report of his lemarks then pub lished elicited such sharp and general condemnation that Professor Wilson has since written to the Wushlngton Post that he was misrepresented. He thus revises and cor reels hlmseK: lho morning after tho bill passed tho house I directed the attention of the studeiits of tho university to the putting ot this Immense sum, for war preparation or purposes, nt tho discretion of the presi dent, as n signal departure! from the role of specific appropriation, so scrupulously observed sl.ico Mr. Jcrferson's day, and heretofore) considered itn a rule of sound policy and correct constitutional law, ana In explaining tho meaning of tho rulo and the reasons on which it was based, 1 naturall) cited them to the uctlon of the sennte on the fortifications bill of 1835, which proposed to put a lump sum in tho hands of President Jackson for uso un der his direction, at a time of tlircatcnd war with France, ndvlslng them to lead Mr. Webster's speech ou the) loss of that bill My solo object und tho sole tenor of my remarks, which were very brief, wore to direct the attention of young men, all of whom aro students of Anierican his tory nnd mony of thera students of con stitutional law, to a fact well worthy the attention of all students ot our institu tions, In collcgo or out of college, and not, as soma ot the comments In. the press have assumed, to express opposition to the appropriation for national defenses or luck of confidence In tho president, Irdced, 1 guarded against; this by ex- pressly sajlng thnt I was not In posses sion of the facts on which tho house acted, and therefore was not criticising its action, and that both tho president and Secretary Long posucssed tho full confidence of tho country, aiving Professor Wilson tho full benefit of his corrections, tho position assumed by him toward this matter stJlt strikingly Illustrates the Idealistic and Impractical bent of his tnlrd, It requires very little penetration to per ceive between the lines of his explana tion that the ldnp ot strengthening the executive branch of the government In time of emergency brought grief to him. He doesn't dare to say that the action taken by congress wasn't tho quickest, most direct and most effect ive way to meet the emergency then nnd now confronting the country. Hut he pines because It did not dove-tnll in with his scholarly constitutional the ories. Apparently ho would sooner have Now York blown up and the cap itol nt Washington burned than, by "cutting across lots," to arm the presi dent with power and authority to save both. On this principle Professor Wil son would not throw water on a burn ing house until he had first analyzed the water and cleansed it of microbes. This Is the Wilson of old. He evi dently cannot distinguish and appre ciate the difference between a theory and a condition. A Montreal correspondent of the Sun hns been investigating tho feeling of the people of Canada with reference to the United States and he affirms that most of the spread-eagle talk about undying loyalty to the British flag and most of tho stone-throwing nt Uncle Sam come from office-holders and th'elr dependents, while the producets and taxpajers of thq dominion are becom ing more and more discontented. This explanation of the situation is certainly very plausible. How tho mass of Can adians could sincerely relish being kept out of tho markets of the United States and over-taxed to pay fat pensions to friends of a dynasty having its homo 3,000 miles beyond the sea, while nil tho time the brightest talent In th"e domin ion Is being drained by emigration into the state-a; Is more than an ordinal y Yankee can decipher. The next gubernatorial primary battle will be fought In Lawrence county on Saturday. Charles W. Stono ought to have the Lawrence delegates. The Washington Past calls congress men "Tom Heed's reconcentradoes." Hut Heed Is a benevolent tyrant. The president Is advised not to let "How Can I?" hang much longer upon "I Would." Sir Henry Bessemer and His Life Work rrom the Chicago Evening Post. n T IS refreshing. In considering the notable achievements of great Inven tors, to happen upon an occasional Instance where fortune has not only smiled on but has well rewarded genius, it Is far too often tho case that tho successful Inventor cloes his life In poverty and distress and leaves to others tho harvest of substantial benefits which In Justice should havo been his. Sir Hen ry Ilessemcr was a marked exception to this class, nnd his death, occurring so recently, makes consideration of tho most Important Inventions timely. While Bts serner did not Invent steel, he discovered a process for its manufacture that has revolutionized tho iron and stec working Industry of the entire world. Up till tho time when his experiments were crowned with success the making of steel was a very slow, und consequently, a very la borious process, and steel had a compara tively restricted application In the Indus trial arts. Hesscmcr brought It so near perfection and at such reasonable cost that it Is today one ot the most widely implojed and most useful of all materials which man has pressed Into service for his advantage and comfort In a measure tho discovery of Besse mer's process was accidental. To begin with, he had no knowledge of chcml-ury and metallurgy when he first set about his Investigations to turn Iron Into bteel Hut ho visited many places whore Iron was wrought and he kept his ejes open. He saw th.it In the slow process of "puddling" tho particles of molten metal were gradually brought Into contact with tho air, nnd that this seemed to In tlmo produce a fair quality ot steel. Had ho known tho chemistry which was nt work during puddling Hcssemer steel undoubt edlj would havo boon made somo ears sooner than it was. Hut ho only saw tho mechanical pirt of tho operation. He knew it was a great deal easier to stir air than It was to stir Iron, and It was whllo recovering from a severe Illness that the Idea came to him of blowing air through tha melted Iron. As he lay In bed tho breezes from an open window fanned his check, and this turned his thoughts In another direction, which piovcd to bo the beginning of the prob lem's solution. o As coon as he was sufficiently recovered to resumo his investigations hn set about making a retort in which ho rould test his now Idea. It was so constructed thut a blast of cold air was forced Into the bottom so that It would pass through melted Iron hi tho upper part of the re tort The day for the test arrived nnd Henrv Hessimcr Wds naturally not tire Wst excited of the group that gathered around tho new contrivance. When tho lK Iron was melted tho blast of air was turned in to prevent tho metal filling tue holes through which the air entered. Then tho metal was poured In through tho charging holo by an attendant stoker. A tremendous commotion Immediately took placo within tho vessel. "Tho molten Iron," to quote ono present, "bounded from side to side; a violent ebullition was heard going on Inside, while n vehement violet llamo, accompanied with dazzling parks, burst from the throat of lire cupola, from which tho slag was also thrown In largo foamlike masses. A cast iron plato of tho kind used to cover holes Irr tho pavement, that had been suspended over the mouth of tho vessel, dissolved In a gleaming mist, together with half a dozen ards of the chain by which It hung." o Jt Is not surpilsii.g that such an unusual sight should havo frightened not only tho men but the daring experimenter, Bcsse mer thought ho saw in this terrillo dem onstration of two prime elements lho completo failure of his plans. He want ed to shut off the utr before tho charge of Iron was spoiled or the furnace burned, but tho stop-cock regulating tiro supply was so close to tho retort that no ono dare go near It, This proved fortunate, for soon the commotion within tho retort subsided, tho fury of decarbnnlzatlon had expanded Itself and the product was run off, Tho result was not quite satisfac tory. The product was, tor tho most part, burnt Iron, birt Bessemer saw enough In the experiment to encourage him in making a second trial, and tho product from this proved to bo malleaoio Iron. By further experiment It vas found that by interrupting tho process' beforo tho decarbonlzation ot tho Iron was complete tho product was unmistak ably steel, which" when tried proved to be of very good quality. Here vvus'a dls- covery of Immcnso Importance. If mal leable Iron nnd i.tecl could bo produced direct from pig iron by a process so rapid and simple It could not fall beforo long to effect an entire revolution In tho Iron trade. And such It actually did many jc-nrs before Hcssemer cloecd his long und successful career. o Tho chemistry of tho Hcssemer process Is simple, so simple in fact that tho won der Is It was not sooner applied to tho making of steel. Ilessemcr at first called It "tho manufacture of Iron and steel without fuel." While this title was a mis nomer, It answered his purposo In plae lug tho process beforo leading Iron work ers of Or eat Britain. This Is how he ex plained tho method of conversion: "By toning atmospheric eIr through tho fiuld metal the oxjgcn Is brought Into contact with tho several partlrlis of the iron and the carbon which It contains. The carbon and oxygen combine to form carbonic acid which passes off by the throat of the vessel through which tho slag Is also thrown, leaving ns the produce u mass of mallcablo Iron, vhlch is run oft by the tap Into ingot molds placed to receive It. Thus, by a single process requiring no particular manipulation and with only ono workman, from threo to flvo tons of crudo Iron pass into the condition of sev eral piles of malleable lion. In from thirty to thirty-five minutes, with tho expendi ture of about one-third part of tho blast now used In a fiery furnaeo with an equal charge ot Iron, und with the- consumption of no other fuel than Is contained In tho crudo Iron." In fact, tho rhemlcal action of tho ox gen, carbon nnd other elements kept up a sulflclcnt agitation and tern petaturo to maintain the fluidity ot the metal until the process was complete, o Before the Bessemer process came Into uo the production of steel In Great Brit ain was only CO.fKX) tons a year, and tho average price was J2i0 a ton. In 1S77. when tho general condltton of trade was greatly depressed, the Bessemer mill alono turned out 750 000 tons of steel at an average price of $50 a ton. The coal con sumed Jn producing this was less by 3 500, 000 tons than would have been required to produce the same quantity of steel by the old, or Sheffield, process. Tho pres ent reduction In the price of steel manu facture through tho use of tho Bessemer process Is, for England, about M 000,003. nnd for the world over J200,ono,000 a jear or equal to the entire output of gold for tho same period. Sir Henrv Bessemer nude nn Immense fortune out ot this 'n ventlon and had many honors showered upon him, nnd any person who mav feel disposed to begruelgo him any ot these need only look about him and sen wnat steel has done and Is doing for man Tho thousands of miles of rails that stretch across nearly every country In tho world and tho hundreds of big battleships and merchantmen that plow every ocean, should alono put all carping at rest and prompt tho most disgruntled of men to placo a wreath on the new -rounded (.-rave that henceforth must mark the rest Ing placo of all that was mortal of tho great Bessemer, SKNATOIt PKOC roll's SPEECH. Prom the New York Sun Public opinion In this country has been Influenced to an extraordinary extent by Senator Pi odor's speech describing what he saw tn Cuba. Tho newspapers from every quarter show how deep an Impres sion his dispassionate report and his meisured Indictment of Spain havo made. Other observers of existing conditions In tho unhappy (Island mav tell tho same story, and they may tell It, perhaps, in moro emotional language; but tney can hardly add to the effect already pioduced. Mr. Proctor's statement ot facts has pre sented for tho first time to the great tna lorlty of American citizens a distinctly focused picture of what had previously been a vague, distant horror : and It has made the duty of this republic as clear ae da light. It Is a common saying that the Ameri can sj stem alwavs provides the man needed for the ccaslon.
