this time In the designation
of it by the United Stales
depaitment of agriculture as a full
fledged lni'tcoiologli-al station, with
nuthoiity and facilities for making
weather pri'dlcti'ins of its own. This
will necessitate the establishment here
of u tegular observation buieau, in
ehaigc of an export, and amply sup
plied with all the del leal and llnanclal
resouices to make the weather busi
ness hum. Considering the varieties
and periodical intensity ot Scranton

a very vcisatllo man.
Seriously, the advantages of the con
templated improvement are many, and
they will rapidly receive appreciative
recognition. The science of meteorol
ogy, while not yet peifectetl, is rapid
ly approaching a degree of coherency
and system v.iiieh makes errors In
prognostication infrequent. Very jare
ly nowadays are the weather signals
deceptive, and as soon nn thorough
observations can be taken in this im
mediate locality and tabulated for ex
port study, the ratio of accuracy will
be llki'ly to be still further Increased.

Illinois Republicans.
- Hi: NOMINATION for gover
H nor by the Republicans ot
JL Illinois of Itlchard Yates, of
Jacksonville, s-on of the
famous war governor, conies as-'the
happy end of a iactionul controversy
which threatened to harm the national
ticket next oil.
Governor 'fanner was for Judge Hati
ecy, of Chicago, the candidate of the
l-orlmer-.Tainlosnn Cook county "ma
chine." Tanner's object In support liig
ll.inecy was to wo the stiength of the
Chicago organization In defeating Sen
ator Ctillom for re-election. Tanner at
one time had been Cullom's closest
lieutenant, but when opportunity of
fered threw the henator In order to
make a deal with the Chicago "ma
chine" as a tesult of which lie was
elected governor. Onre in that office
he tried to build up a dynasty ot his
own and a few mouth.' ago came out
openly as a candidate against Cullom
ton the senator-ship.
The? state convention at Peoila wub
the tribunal before which this fac
tional war was carried tor a verdict.
Consisting of luti" delegates, it fall lu
tein isentea the sentiment of the uaity,
and when Charles C. Dawes, a friend
of Cullom, was chosen permanent
clfalrman by 77 plurality, It was evi
dent that the Tanner programme
would not go thiough. The nomina
tion ,of'Yates, who w.ts not compro
mised toward either faction, assures
party harmonj and leaves Cullom the
leader In the race for the senatorshlp.
The war ended some time ago, but
the annate does not seem disposed to
nsk for the resignation ot the war tax
collector for some time hence.
Qas Versus Steam.
ACCORDING TO Llndon W.
Hates, one of tho world's
foremost authorities on hy
draulic engineering, and a
gentleman whoso professional work
keeps him in close touch with me
chanical achievements in the princi
pal European industries, there is one
phase of industrial development In
which tho United States is not keep
ing abreast of the procession. He re
fers to the manufacture of gas en
gines, which, as produced at Liege,
Helglurn, and by the 'Wcstlnghouso
people in a number of other European
cities, have established their superior
ity over tho ordinary steum engine to
Buch an 'extent as to promise a revolu
tion In. Industry.
The Liege company claims to have
made gas engines of several hundred
horsa-pmver which VI1I extrnut aut ot
coal from f.0 to 100 per cent, more power
than Is derived by the steam engine.
As npplled to steamship navigation
this means nn Immense lightening of
the dead load now represented In the
enormous coal tonnage required for u,
trans-Atlantic voyage; and us npplled
to blast furnace construction It means
thnt the coking ovens may yield ample
power fiom the secondary products,
while sustaining themselves handsome
ly by sale of the coke for ordinal y
commercial purposes, The anxiety of
the more modern American stool plants
to acquire bituminous coal deposits lit
for colte-innklng becomes apparent
when the possibilities of the gas en
gine are studied In connection with thi
production ot coke.
Mr. Hates twenty years ago was one
of a gang of surveyois who were at
work upon the Northern I'aiille rall
roud; today he Is one ot the largest
engineer contractors in the world and
Is both wealthy and famous, The un
live qualities which made possible his
great success lu so short a time will
Insure that the gas engine, under
Ametlcau supet vision, will do thlngi
that competing nations will not llnd it
In their power to equal.
It Is entltiiy proper that the public
should have complete Information as to
the composition of oleomargailne and
that that article should be made to
Mnnd in the open market on its .own
met Its nml not permitted i-i be sold by
mlsrcpi osculation. If It hns merit it
can survive this fail test, If not, the
sooner It Is suppiessed the better. Let

flediation in South Africa
I
N VIKW of the manifest Inten
tion of the Democratic cumpalgn
managers to manufacture politi
cal ammunition out of the visit
ot the lloer pouoo commission tu
the United States, by representing to
the country that the administration
Is unfaiily partial to I'nglaud and In
different to the Hoers, II may be time
ly to consider just how the attitude
of tho lTn I tod States government with
lefeienie to the billlgeients in South
Africa squaris with the requirements
ot international law.
It has been announced that the Moor
peace commission tomes to this coun
try to Invoke tho good unices of ths
1'nlted States government with a view
to bringing about peace In South Af
llca and it Is asserted that tho United
States government may under the pro
visions of the general tieaty negotiated
at The Hague peace eonferenee put
forth Its good Pllleos without subject
ing Itself to the charge of unfriendli
ness towaul either belligerent. Arti
cle i of that treaty provides tint
"powers, strangers to the dh-pute, have
the light to offer good olllces or me
diation even during tho couise of hos
tilities," and stipulates that "the exor
cise of this light can never be regard
ed by one or the other 'f the parties
In conlltct as an unfriendly act." It is
to this section which the lloer com
missioners icfer.
Article ." of the same treaty dispels
their hope by saying distinctly that
"the functions of the mediator are at
an end when once it Is declared, oltlur
by one of the parties to the dispute or
by the mediator himself, that the
means of leconclllntlon proposed by
him are not accepted." In Match last,
at the request of tho Uoer government,
a request which had been declined by
eveiy neutral power in Kurope, tho
United States nppioaohtd Great Flrit
nln with a proffer of its good offices
in mediation and was Informed in un
mistakable terms by the Urltlsh prime
minister, Lord Salisbury, that Eng
land would not accept the intervention
of any power. This notification ex
hausted tho possibilities of friendly
mediation. There remains but one
other kind: Intervention by force.
The United Stato3 intervened In
Cuba by force upon the gtound that
the atrocities ot Spanish rule so near
at hand constituted an insufferable
source of unnoyance, inltation and of
tence. Had the same atrc Itles been
a few thousand miles distant tho idea
of forcible intervention would probably
not have taken serious form. Such
atioclties do not figure as causes
of the South African war except in so
far as the Hoers are alleged to have
made sweeping and unjust discrimin
ations against the Uugllsh-speaklnK
elements within thelt lerrtlory
The
immediate cause of the present war
was an act of Invasion committed by
the ltoois upon territory indisputably
under Urltlsh sovereignty. Such a sit
uation doi'i not appeal for American
intervention by foiee; nor, if It did,
have wo at present tho force, either
mllltaiy or naal, to inuke it effclrve
With tho remnants of a var still on
our hands In the Philippines It does
not appear likely that tho Democratic
politicians can work ui. enough f.iro
Uoer excitement in this countty to
drive us into another aimed fit a power
of the magnitude of Great Ilrllain.
There ari powers having nelghboily
Interests In South Africa where we
have iioue, and they .11 n neutral. They
would hardly tecognlze our light to
set up tis a irg'ilator of South Af
rican affalru.

A Choice of Evils.
I
N VIEW of the widespread feel
ing which exists among a most
excellent class ot persons In fa
vor ot the abolition ot the army
canteen, It may be timely to repeat
what Chaplain Pierce, of the Philip
pine sen lee, said on this subject In his
recent report to the ndjutant general.
It Is reputable testimony direct from
the tiling line.
"When I first saw Manila," the ehup
lain writes, '"the streets were practlc
olly lined with little nlpa huts, per
haps about twelve feet square, in
which tho natives were selling, at u
merely nominal price, not only fruit
and tobacco, but also native gin. These
'gin shacks' bhould certainly be In
cluded In tho numner of drinking
places existing at tho beginning, and
their number was very lurgo. The
character of this native drink was so
llery and villainous that Its effect
upon such of our men as used It was
deplorable. It becamo my duty to
bury two soldiers who never recov-
ered from the effect of drinking It.
One of them had been In the service
about eighteen years and received
from Ills olllcers, In personnl conversa
tion with me, a commendation fo flut
tering with regnrd to his character tor
sobriety and soldierly honor that It
might be coveted by any man. Ho
bad never been a dmnkotd, but this
native poison was so virulent In Its ef
fect that ho became maddened, and
lingered In his delliluin n whole week,
not having recovered his reason at
the time of his death. Our authorities
set to work to restrict this trntllu by a
system which finally resulted in its
piohlbltlon. I am not personally nn
advocate of any saloon, but 1 am
forced to give my testimony that the
substitution of regimental canteens, In
which only beer was sold, In place of
this tnifUe In native gin, lesulted In 11
must Immediate and perceptible Im
provement In the sobriety of the
troops. 1 should welcome the day
when all men. out of the army as well
as In It, might llnd It agreeable by 1
their abstinence to ciush out tho mar- j
ket for nil malt or spirituous pioducts.
That millennial age, howecr, has not
dawnel, unit my opinion Is that It Is
better to accept such foims of testrlc
tlou as are feasible than to Insist upon
a theoiy which, however Ideal, Is Im
possible ot enforcement."
The army canteen Is a choice or
evils, if tho lesur bo 1 ejected, tho
guator will take its place.
Commander Sehrdoder. the new
gov ei nor of Guam, expects to take
charge of the affairs of the Island In a
few days. Governor Schroder Is ex
pected to profit by the example of Cap
tain O'l.eary, the former executive,
and not discourage the people at the
slait with overdot'H of the constitu
tion. L1TKRARY NOTES.

CONCEENING JUBIES.
IMItor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your aitlile on "The People's Affair" is
timely and should be emphasized. The Impun
ity with which the laws arc trampled upon in
our county is something to awaken all loters
of law and order to inquiie why it is thus.
Why not baie obedience to law here as well as
elsewhere in the commonwealth?
It may be cliaigcd that we bate large num
bers of certain foreign born people in this sec
tion. Yet, that can hardly be urged as a reason
unless they hate been given power to repeal
our laws, for the Mbole power of this great com
monwealth is behind the law to enforce it It
jiower Is required.
I liaie read carefully the address of Judge
Archbald, und admire the frankness with which
he appioached Ids subject. The Judge Is right,
and speaks from the standpoint of one who
knows whereof lie speak".
You say in your editorial that the twelve men
on the Jury who try each case are drawn at ran
dom from among all classes of tbe population.
This ought to be the fact. Rut is It a fact that
they arc thus drawn? Sometimes after we hate
scanned the list of Jurors drawn, and reflected
that they were drawn from the wheel whe-c
man) other names also were deposited, there
arisen a suspicion that instead of the selection
of names at random from tlie population, ex
treme caution in selecting names could not lute
succeeded better in getting a certain ilass of
persons drawn, How it happens that so great a
proportion of the stiupathlws -of the speak
easies can be drawn each time as Jurors Is one
of the injsteries that many 'of us would like
our Jury commissioners to explain. On the sur
face It looks queer, and we begin to suspect
tint it could be explained by some one.
While the Judge mentlonetl the mayor, police,
dlstiict attorney, judges, etc., I did not notice
that he mentioned the Jury commissioners. Is it

true that the two Jury commissioners furnish
two-thluls of the names of persons going Into

I would not reflect on any individual in thit
ollice. It seems that tie use little or no dis
cretion in selecting candidates for tint position
in proportion to Its important e. These commls.
sionrrs, by their choice of men for Jurors, are
more powerful than the Judge and district at
torney combined In bringing about the enforce
ment of s..u laws or the contrary. It Is the
opinion of some that the office of Jury com
missioner would be a tery proper offieo for our
legislature at its nest session to abolish at once,
and the responsibility of selecting the Jurors
be placed with "the judges and sheriff of the
count)-. Truly jours,

A Kentucky editor has a friend who talks to him in this way : I attrib
ute all the disorders of the system to tbe btoraich ; when the stomach Is all
right, we are well and happy. For a long lime I suffered from the worst form
of habitual constipation. Sleeplessness and nervousness set in, and at times 1
was so melancholy and out of sorts that life was a burden. An advertisement
in our local paper induced me to give
R-HM-N-S TABILES
a ttial, and they have completely cured me. I can say for Ripans Tabules,
they are, in my opinion, the best medicine for constipation on earth. They
accomplished for me what all other remedies failed to do. I am all right now
sleep well and life is worth living. I believe the Tabules put my stomach
in shape, and the stomach did the rest. My general health Is better than it
was for years previous."
