Tho War on Hanna.
In a state so prolific of politicians
nnd would-bo politicians as Ohio there
1b always a league of the dlsaff acted
against tho man on top. The man
now on top In Ohio being Mark Hanna,
a man somewhat blunt and positive In
Ills manner and methods, it Is natural
that thoso who nre not on top but
want to be should combine to make
It Interesting for Hanna The ex
periences of Pennsylvania in factional
politics prepare one to make llbei.il
discount on the superficial fuss and
commotion nt Columbus.
Tho essential feature of the Ohio
conentlon will be Its formal presen

In toniipctlon with the nrfs-otit peri
odical tnsui lection agalnht Jlanna It is
Intel rating to nusonc the conspicuous
nlpiue of the old clap-ttap about Mc

M'iii, or almo.st one-ilfth of the ex

Increased usefulness to themselves,
their countrymen and mankind. Set
apart as a fund to pjovlde medals or
other tokens of honor for conspicuous
exhibitions of merit in the naval scr
lce, It would cairy Dewey's name for
ward among future generations of
American seamen with a genuineness
of grateful remembrance constituting
an Ideal memorial.
That Admit al Dowey would piefer
any of ihcse sensible and useful tub
ulin to the iioJsa and turmoil of an in
discriminate Jubilee Is to be Inferred
from his reputation and past demeanor
as a modest and unobtrusive gentle
man of first-rate common sense. The
admiral doe3 not need tho discharge cf
fireworks nnd tho maudlin plaudits of
men Intoxicated by enthusiasm or
something stronger to notify hlin that
his conduct in tho late unpleasantness
has been approved by tho American
people. As a man of fine sensibilities
the barnstorming typo of welcome
would Jar upon him. nor Is his health
in condition to justify such a tiespass
upon his depleted vitality. Finally, we
can imagine him regarding with con
sccntlous disapproval Inherited fiorrt a
New England upbilnglng tho proposal
to takQ JltO.OCO of tho people's money
and "blow it Ji" upon any American
official for doing neither less nor moro
than his appointed duty.
In honoring Dowey let us show him
that wo undeutund him; above all, let
us consult his and preset e our own
solf-u'speet.
Spain's new minister to Washington,
the Dultn da Arcos, lakes the sen
sible position that tho past is beyond
recall and that therefore the thing for
Spaniards and Aniet leans to do, at
least In their foreign relations, Is to
strive for a peaceful and harmonious
future. On this platform tho duke will
be met moic than half way.
The rnayoi's veto of the asphalt re
pair appropilation brings this question
to a focus at last and Is therefore
preferable to tho wilggllng and
squirming which has attended its
earlier stages. Common council can,
by following select council's prompt
example, close this whole matter up
and cause to be done to the streets o
Scranton what the major knows ought
to be done, but what, out of deference
to the clack In the galleries, ho shirks
tho responsibility of helping to do
Leave the major to his galleiy wor
ship and repair tho 3treets.
The discovery that there was no In
surgent army in Cuba makes Spain's
failure to quell the Insurrection all the
more mysterious
A Pneumatic Era?
That there is more In the liquid air
business than mere talk Is indicated by
the threat of Professor Tilplcr to ask
for nn Injunction restraining another
expei imenter, Ostragen, from trespass
ing on Tripler's lights. Trlpler pro
duces liquid air under 2,000 pounds
pressure; Ostragen claims to hao per
fected devices whereby tho atmosphere
can be liquefied at a pressure as low
ns COO pounds to the fcquare inch If
this claim is true it means the lntio
duttlon of pneumatic power on a scale
much larger than has lately been ex
pected. Already the mechanical engineers
who make a practice of keeping up
with the piocession, or a little ahead
of It, are figuring upon running carriages
by means of liquefied air stoied In
steel bottles underneath the seat. The
automobile ciaze contemplates the
adaptation of tho same principle of
piopulslon to drays, trucks, omnibuses,
c ili- and street cars. The automobile
concern in which Richard Croker is
interested proposes, we believe, to
erect stotago supplies of compressed
air at different places throughout the
city and to keep the supply constant
by means of a sjstcm of disttlbutlon
through overhead pipes. Another
plan Is to bottle tho air and use It as
chicles now use the storage battel j
This bottling process, however, does
not contemplate tho use of liquid air,
which is air much mote compactly
compressed nnd possessing far gi eater
djnnmlc possibilities than the oidlnaiy
compressed air used in piesent pneu
matic appliances Tho i eduction of
the liquid air experiments to a work
able economic basis would not only
gieatlj- simplify and cheapen all pie
sent pneumatic piocesses, but also ex
tend their scope and widen their ap
plication Immeasurably.
Writing for the Philadelphia Piess
on this interesting subject, "Holland"
notes the evidences which are to bo
seen of the activity of long-headed cap-
it.uists anxious to capitallza this nevv'ftirobably about COO pounds. Satlsfac
potentiality In tho woild of applied
science, and sajs that some cry con-
seivathe men aio now beginning to
wonder whether we are not on the eve
of a revolution In power-producing
force quite as gteat as that which tho
Intioduction of steam caused. Time
must shortly tell
It will not bo necessary for General
Wheeler to run for the ofllce of gov
ernor of Alabama. If he desires the
honor it will be simply a ease of walk
over. The Crime of '0D.
Sat the Washington Post: "A vast
ly gt eater and far more widely ex
tended conspiracy than tho darkl dl i
bolleal 'crime of '73,' and having for
Its object the same fell purpose, has
been going on all over the woild for
the last thlity-one months, or there
abouts On tho very day alter the
November election of 3S0C, all t e gold
coins In the United States conspired
to come out of the recesses In which
they had waited till the cloud rolled
by and to give a fresh and wholesome
Impetus to business that had suffered
from seml-paialj'bls thiough fear of
silver monometallism. All the gold
mines on earth from Alaska's ley
mountains to Afi lea's burning bands
have conspired to Increase their out
put In order to refute the dire predic
tions made by Mr. Bryan In that great
campaign. The people have conspired
to prefer paper to gold, leaving tho
treasury vnults full of the yellow
metal. Meanwhile our manufacturers
have conspired to get a firm hold on
foielgn markets, and our faimers have
Increased their exports so that, in a
single yeai, we sold abroad $600,000,000
worth more than wo bought six hun
dred millions In gold. Employers of
labor got up a conspiracy to increase
wages; the farmers conspired to pay
their debts and lay by a surplus in
lank. The railroads conspired to do
more buslnets than they had ever con
templated as n glittering possibility;
the mines of coal, iron, copper, lead
and other staple minerals conspired to
push on the tide of prosperity; even
tho coa! oil wells swelled the grand
chorus with inei easing streams.1
Under these circumstances the great
apostle of tho discontented, Mr. Brian,
vdstly decides to moderate hia 16 to 1
wor cry and throw all his lung power
Into a crusade against trusts. Ho must
howl about something,
Satlois who aro entitled to prize
money from their lato engagements
aro doubtless beginning to think that
tho pay car has been attached to a
slow freight.
The covemment wll give General
Otla the full complement of 30,01,0 am
requested to put down the i'hlll
lnsutrcctlon. Tho government could
probably loan General Otis further
support by forcing tho treasonable
nntl-cxpanslon orators about the coun
try to take a holiday until tho war Is
over.
Notorkty, at least, Is not all for tha
heroes. Tho Seventh regiment paraded
In New York on Memorial day for tho
first time since refusing to tuko part
In tho war against fipaln, nnd wan
greeted by Jeots, htrses nnd leathern
from the crowds that lined Dtoadway
when tho procession passed.
Many gold-dlggeis In the Klondike
tcgion have died from starvation dur
ing the past j ear and many havo re
turned irorn thp frozen district in a
pitiablo condition, yet the steamship
companies continue to discover fields
almost dally much richer than uny that
have been worked.
The "model town" of Pullman has
proved a failure. A system of govern
ment that tends to stllle the spirit of
freedom and place the people on a plane
with those of the middle ages can nev
er succeed on American soil, no mat
ter how attractive the scheme may ap
pear In theory.

n T AS estimated lltleen years ago
that tho annual world average of
tlio consumption of lion and bteel
wns 3. 3J pounds per head. At that
u time tho people of Great litltaiti
were consuming 2s" 53 pounds per
head cery jear, thoso of the United
Staes 270 92 pounds, the inhabitants
of South America only 1J5 pounds,
whilo In Kgjpt the amount fell
to 7 53 pounds, In British India to 2 4
pounds, and in tho remainder of Aaia
to less than half a pound Tho lowest
aveiogo lor any Uuropcan country wus
2J pounds per head. It was said at tho
annual meeting of tho British Iron and
Steel Institute, early this mouth, that
the consumption por capita in Great
Britain had somewhat increased and was
tcry statistics as to tho ptcsent con
sumption per capita in tho United States
aro not available, as nine jears havo
el ipsed slnco our census was taken; but
with tho large inciease In our use of Iron
In shipbuilding, water and gas pipes, tele
graph wites, wire fences and ropes or
cables, and the development of our
great machinery and tin plate Industries,
it is probable that wo havo at least kept
pace with Great Biltaln In the utilization
of Iron and Its pioducts, even If wo havo
made llttlo advanco upon our earlier con
sumption for railroads and their equip
ment. In total consumption we surpass
all other countries. The United States
and Great Britain aro far In the lead,
chleflj- because they uvo so much iron
and steel in railroads and their appli
ances, machinery- and shipbuilding,
.o
Tho greatest fact relating to the de
velopment of lion and steel making is
that science has guided every step and
has been tho basis of every phase of Im
provement and growth Tho knowledge
of fifty jears ago In respect to metalluigy
stems prlmltlvo In comparison with tho
enlightenment of toelaj-. Only forty
jears ago tho British board of trado
refused to permit tho use of steel 'a
tho building of tho bridge across the
Thames at Charing Cross. Earlier than
thirty j cars ago those who had applied
sclenco to the Iron and steel industries
icrelved scant courtesy from tho capi
talists who owned the manufacturing
plants As Sir William Roberts-Austen
showed In his presidential address, the
other day, many Inventors were meanly
treated and "Betsemer's early statements
wero received with contempt as well as
Incicdullty." But It has been the discov
ery nnct cheapening or every scienttuo
process that now enters into tho mining
of ore, Its conversion into Iron, nnd the
conversion of Iron Into steel and steel
Into thousands of articles In evory-day
use, that mako tha pre-eminence of this
ago of steel and enable this country to
compete! with any other In Its Iron and
steel pioducts.
o
Wo hear now of blast furnaces that
produce 7(0 tons of Iron a dajr, of open
hearth furnaces fed with a ton of niate
ilal n minute, of enormous mixers that
hold 200 tons of pig Iron, of rolled steel
plato two inches thlcjc and over S00
square feet In area, of steel plates that
buckled up In a collision but lemalned
watertight, and of girders justifying tho
belief that bridges may jet be built, if
destied, In half-mile spans. All these
wonders are the achievements that sci
entific workers have made possible by
yeats of research and experiment la thu
comparative quiet of tho laboratory. The
study of alios s, of the plasticity and
other properties of steel, of the use of
electricity In riveting haidened ship
plates that otherwise could not be drilled,
and manj other complex problems, have
jemilted In brilliant triumphs for tho
chemist and phyulclst.
NEW USES EOB CORN.
Fiorr. tho New York Sun.
Farmers In the corn belt may not bo
avaro of the fact, but It Is nevertheless
true that the manufacture of tho new
smokeless powder promises to benefit
them extentlvelj-. The British povem
mnit closed a eonti.ict last fall with the
Standard Distilling company of Chicago
for tho immcellato delivery of U4,0W gal
lons of dUtllled spit Its ut Montreal, with
in intimation that It would want 450,000
gallons moro In a short time. Tha spirits
ordered weie for use In the nmnufactuio
of smokeless powder. The Japanese
government has recently ordered 6,000
rels of spirits for the same pur
pose, and has given notice of largo fu
tuie requirements. Our own govern,
mont has recently ordered lO.tWO bands,
and further orders vlll follow. Hence
forth fanokcless powder will bo exclu
sively used In civilized warfare, and In
the 'manufacture of this powder distilled
plrlt3 play a prominent part, thus open
ing a new and quite extcnslvo market
for American corn.
-.o:-Tho
number of articles of commerce
that are now being made from corn has
reached twenty .nine, ?rid every particle
of tlie- Brain is at pieent turned Into
some useful pioduct. Tho glucose su
gar refining companies alono manufae
lute this number of products and the
number of bashels of coin consumed bv
their ractoiles In , the United States
ithehcB well Into tho millions. The fol
Itivvlng Is a list of tho products now be
ing manufactured from corn without the
use of any other component material.
Mixing glucose, of thrco kinds, used
by refiners of tablo syrups, bi ewers,
leather minufacturcrs jelly makcti,
Irult preservers and apothecaries.
Crystul clucofo, of four kinds, used by
munuafcturlng confectioners.
Giape bugar, of two kinds, used by
brewers principally, and also by tanners
Aulijdious sugar, used by aio and beer
browcrs and apothecaries.
Pearl starch, used by cotton and popeu
mills. v
Powdered starch, used principally bj
baking powder manufacturers, and also
by cotton and paper mills.
Refined grits, uted In the placo of
brewers' grits; they uro giving better
icsults.
I'lourlne, used by mixers of flour with
out detilmcnt except as to the feeling
that a corn product Is taking the place
of a wheat product.
Four kinds of dextrine, used by lino
fabric makers, pripcr box makers, muci
lago and gluo makers, apothecaries and
many Industries requiring a strong ad
hesive agent.
Corn oil, used by tablo oil mixers, lu
bricating oil mixers, manufactuteis of
flbre, shade cloth manufacturers, paint
manufacturers, and in many similar in
dustries vvherd vegetable oils are cm
plojcd. Corn oil cake, gluten feed, chop feed,
and gluten meal; all cattlo-feeeilng stuffs
of a vciy high grade and capable of be
ing scientifically fed with supeilor ad
vantages. Rubber substitute, a substitute for
crudo rubber and very extensively used
Corn germ, tho material from which
tho oil and cake are obtained.
British gum, a starch which makes n
very adhesive medium, and Is used by
textllo mills for running their colors, as
well as by manufacturers who requlro a
veiy strong adhcslvo medium that con
tains no trace of acid.
Granulated gum, which competes with
gum arable, is used successfully In Its
place, and finds a ready preference by
reason of tho absenco of any offensive
odor.

Probably tho most Important In the
abovo list of products is lubber substi
tute, tho subs'anco which Chicago chem
ists havo recently brought to perfection
This new rubber, made, from the waste
of ordlnarj' yellow corn, will cheapen tho
price of rubber goods 25 per cent. Corn
rubber must bo combined with an equal
quantity of Para rubber to give It gen
eral utility. Twenty chemists have ben
emploj'eel at tho Chicago refinery for a
year In brlnglrg this new rubber to per
fection. Tho greatest difflcultj' has
been to make a product that would resist
heat. At list tho chemists have devel
oped a quality of com rubber that will
bend, stretch, nnd show all the resiliency
of the best Para, which Is the standard
of commerce. In tho manufacture cf
glucose part of tho corn, about E per
cent., could not bo utilized. This waste
Is what will be transformed Into tho new
substitute for rubber. Corn rubber has
almost tho bamo appearance as tho ordi
nary reddish-brown India rubber. Oil of
corn, from which prlncIpaHj- tho rubber
Is made, does not oxldlzo readily. Its
tendency- toward oxidation is ono of tho
principal defects of India rubber. Tho
chemists who havo been working on tho
corn rubber declare this? to ho an enor
mous advantage for tho new produn.
Articles manufactured from it will nl
wajs remain pliable nnd not ciack It
Is calculated that corn rubber can ho
sold at G cents a pound. It can bo adapt,
e-d to nearly oil tho uses to which ordi
nary rubber Is put, from blcjclo tires to
linoleum.
A LESSON FROM ALASKA.
Trom a Speech by Governor Roosevelt.
I saw in a newspaper report tho other
day that a town In Alaska had petitioned
to bo taken out from under our Hag an I
annexed to Canada, because for j-cars it
has struggled In vain to get a proper
government from us. Every American
must bow hia head In shamo when ho
thinks of such a request coming from a
placo under our control, that such a. re
quest should bo born of our negllgcnco
in tho past. Bet us through our repre
sentatives In congress, bj' the constant
stirring up of public opinion, see that
our new dependencies get proper treat

I haven't had a call here for morc'n a
year.
Mother bought some Ripans Tabulcs when
she went to Rochester, and she says
we don't need any medicine now.
The old lady is pretty smart. I suppose
she notices by the taste that it is the
same thing, in a different form, that I've
been dealing out, spring and fall, ever
since you were married in forty-nine.
Well, that is just about what she said for
a fact, doctor.
