FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 1, 1895.
POLITICAL PICKUPS.
The following graceful tribute to the •
Democratic nominee for recorder is from
the Freeland Progress, as straight-laced i
a Republican newspaper as can be found
in the state:
"The nomination of our respected fel
low-townsman, ,1. ,1. Maloy, by the Lu
zerne county Democratic convention f< r
the office of recorder of deeds, is a com
pliment to Freeland. Citizens of Free
land, without regard to party, are always j
glad to have the town honored, and we !
hope that whenever any man is chosen
from our population iu a representative |
way that as good a man as James.). Maloy |
will always bo selected. No matter
what our political opinions may be. we
cannot deny that Mr. Maloy is an up
right, honorable man, a credit alike to
his party and the community in which
he resides."
Senator Kline, in a letter to the Re
publicans of the fourth district, says:
"I hearby withdraw as a candidate for
delegate to tin? state convention and ask
all my friends to support William Powell,
who avows himself in favor of Senator
Quay, and unless wo desire to throw
ourselves open to the charge of ingrat
itude we should by all means send a
Quay delegate."
For a town that is supposed to bo dead
in love with Governor Hastings, because
of his new county bill veto, there seems
to bo an unnecessary amount of trouble
in electing four delegates from Freeland
who favor him. To hear the anti-new
county people a month ago one would
think Quay could not poll a vote in the
borough.
A "non-partisan judiciary" is a cam
paign wail that has been raised against
Attorney McLean's candidacy for the
judgeship. If any Democratic voter
sees another being led astray by thi>
seducive Republican cry tell him to
"Remember Rhone."
A Hastings' boomer made a bid for tin
local A. P. A. vote of the Republican
party this week by circulating the report
that Senator Quay is a Roman Catholic.
This is a mild specimen of the tactics
used by some of the governor's sup
porters.
Jini Maloy will bo the only candidate
for office from the fourth district next
November. lie is worthy of its solid
support, and the outlook now is that be
will come within very few votes of
getting it.
The self-styled "party of morality" is
furnishing the people of lower Luzerne
with the most glaring illustration of
political debauchery that has ever been
inaugurated in this part of the county.
On Saturday evening the war of the
factions will bo fought. Perhaps the
Democrats are not enjoying the prelimi
nary skirmishes?
The Democratic county ticket is gain
ing friends daily. The more the peoph
learn of the candidates the better they
like tlx un.
P. P. Malloy is making a quiet but
earnest canvass for the Democratic
nomination of poor director, an office
which he is well-qualified to lill.
If Freeland and Foster fail to send a
solid Hastings delegation to t he district
convention next Monday, the corpora
tions of the North Side must acknow
ledge a defeat of their plans.
Representative .Jeffrey is in the Quay
llastings fight and is lined on the side
of the senator, lie has a strong hold on
ids party here, and the opposition to the
governor in Freeland is due mainly to
his shrewd work.
James L. Lenahan is looked upon as
the man best-fitted for the Democratic
county chairmanship, and, if he will
accept, will make Luzerne Democratic
again, if anybody can. It is said the
candidates are favorable to Mr. Lenahan
for the position.

HUXLEY'S LIFE WORK.
In Some Rospocts the Profossor
Was a Truly Groat Man.
Career of the Fumous Agnostic atul C'on
tributionH to Scientific Literature of
Evolution—lllm Controversy with
Mr. Gladstone.
Prof. Thomas Ilenry Huxley, the dis
tinguished English scientist whose
death occurred June 20, at London, was
born at Ealing, in Middlesex, May 4,
1825, and after mastering the rudimen
tary studies in the local schools, fitted
himself for the medical profession under
the tutelage of his brother-in-law and
by attending courses of lectures at the
medical school of the Charing Cross
hospital. His early amb'tions were to
become a mechanical engineer. The
special adaptability which he felt for
this was evidenced in his later anatom
ical and natural history researches when
the mechanical aspects of his subject
matter most impressed him.
After receiving his degree in 1845
Hnxlev passed a few years in shifting
assignments as a surgeon to marine
posts. His travels enabled him to ob
tain empirical knowledge of many
phases jf lower animal life, of which
his collections and deductions were
made use of in London scientific peri
odicals and brought him a fellowship in
the Royal society.
The active j'ears of Prof. Huxley's
aggressive exploitation of his doctrines,
which have been distinctive enough to
justify the coining of a new name with
which to designate them, were those of
his professorship at the Royal School of
Mines. The appointment us professor
of natural history and palroontology
was offered to him in 1854, and was not
relinquished by him until 1885, when
ill health enforced a remittance of lib
incessant labors. At first with little re
alization of his subsequent successes,
he struck off from his subject the title
of palaeontology, although this shun
ning of the ancient branch of his sub
ject he did not long persist in.
Although allying himself in many
waj's to the creeds of free-thinkers,
preceding and contemporary, he found
the only unassailable ground in what
is apparently an unsettled belief, ag
nosticism. This term and the explica-

tion of what it Implies is duo to ITux
loy. Of it he said: "When I reached
intellectual maturity and asked myself
whether I was an atheist or a panthe
ist, a materialist or an idealist, a
Christian or a free-thinker, I found
that the more 1 learned or reflect
ed the less ready was the answer.
* * * So I took thought and invented
what I conceived to be the appropriate
title of 'agnostic.'"
This avowal of unbelief, of course,
did not prevent a leaning toward some
theories as more reasonable and prob
able than others. Of the truth of the
essential facts of the Darwinian theory
he was convinced, and to its demon
stration he directed much comparative
study. IJetween man and the higher
orders of apes he discovered that there
was less of difference than among the
different species of apes themselves. In
lectures delivered in 1808 the idea was
developed that one matter designated
us protoplasm is common to all orders
of animal life, from the vegetable
organism up through the protozoa and
little differentiated animal organism
to the highest form distinguished as
human. From the Darwinian conclu
sions Huxley diverged in some par
ticulars. That survival of the fittest
and prevention of degeneration in
volved a continuance of conditions of
strife he did not accept. The practice
of self-sacrifice succeeded Hie struggle
for existence as the law of progress for
civilized man.
As the most eminent expounder of
evolution and other advanced doc
trines, Prof. Huxley inevitably gained
the disapproval of orthodox adherents,
who viewed him as an antagonist of
the true faith. Indeed, he was not so
violent as many who feel themselves
enfranchised after the oppression of
superstition. Of the liible he once
spoke as the magna charta of the poor
and the oppressed. Yet, like others
who feci themselves unwarrantedly at
tacked for their opinions, he sometimes
retaliated with excessive bitterness in
iconoclastic overthrow of cherished be
liefs. Ilis protracted and somewhat
acrimonious controversy with Mr.
Gladstone five or six years ago on the
miracle of the swine will be recalled as
an illustration of this tendency.

NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Brooklyn Man Attempts the Aerial Navi
gation Problem.
It is pretty hard to take seriously the
man with the flying machine, and yet
it is rather dangerous to make too much
fun of him. So many strange things
have been accomplished at which the
world once roared in derision that some
day, while yhu are laughing at him,
some Darius Green will mount to the
clouds and glory in his crazy old ma
chine, and then jam will beg him for
stock.
There is an abiding faith in the heart
of man that the tough problem of
aerial navigation will be solved some
day before long, and now comes J. A.
Crandall, of 514 Fulton street, Brook
lj*n, who thinks he has done it.
Mr. Crandall is not a tangle-haired
dreamer with clockworks where his
brains ought to be, but he is a solid

and widely-known Brooklyn business
man. lie has the records of more than
fifty patents at Washington, chiefly de
voted to the fancy and needs of chil
dren, for whom he has invented hobby
horses, preambulators, building blocks
and endless games.
"As the man who invented the steam
boat," says Mr. Crandall, "copied the
duck's paddling in the water, 1 have
taken the gentle bird's method of flight
for a model."
The accompanying picture gives a
good idea of what Mr. Crandall's air
ship looks like. The body is made of
aluminium spiral tubing covered with
bamboo and sealed air tight, the tubes
and the spaces between the floor of the
car and the outer casing being filled
with gas. The wings are of a tough
silk thread paper over a light but
strong wire frame, and are closely per
forated. Each of the countless holes
will be covered bj' a thin leather valve
that is opened as a wing raises and is
closed by the pressure of air as the
wing descends for the stroke.
The tail is like one of the wings, with
out the perforations and valves, and is
geared to move in any direction.
1 he power is obtained from a dynamo
within the car and communicated to
the wings by a pair of shafts that move
up and down somewhat like the walk
ing-beam of a ferryboat. The lateral
shaft resembling a screw gearing of a
propeller operates the tail.
Mr. Crandall made a working model of
his device many years ago, but lie em
ployed a steam engine, which was too
heavy. The recent development of the
electric motor has given Mr. Crandall
hope that from that source he can
bring to bear sufficient power without
the handicap of weight.

A OOH pel Trolley Car.
A gospel trolley ear will soon be inak
ng nightly rounds of New York and
Brooklyn suburbs. The ear made its
first trip a few nights ago, loaded with
a melodcou and speakers and singers,
connected with the Passaic street mis- ,
sion in Pussaic, N. J., made also around
trip on tho Now Jersey electric rail- I
way, going byway of Patcrson 1
to Kingac and back. Wherever tlicy
saw a group of people on the
sidewalks or rural roadsides the !
car was stopped, and the evangelists
sang hymns and exhorted the bystand- |
ers to seek salvation. The idea is a
novel one, and while it is difficult to sec
how it could be carried out without iu
tcrferingvvith the regular traffic of the j
line, it is possible that some persons j
might be impelled to better living who |
could not otherwise be reached.

and his wisdom and glowing eloquence
soon raised him above the shop into
scholastic and theological circles. His
religious views changed in the direction
of Unitarianism, and after being ex
pelled from the Methodist conference
he became a Unitarian clergyman and
removed to Chicago to take charge of a
mission among the poor. In 1800 he or
ganized Unity church in that city, of
which he was pastor, until 1879, when
he went to New York to assume charge
of the Church of the Messiah, which
post he still holds. Dr. Collyer has writ
ten several books, and his lectures have
been widely popular, especially his fa
vorite lecture "Grit." The poetic in
stinct is developed in him to a degree
that makes all his prose merely another
form of poetry. Among the best of his
published poems, and one that will
live to be read ami admired by future
generations, is a psalm of thanksgiving
written after the great Chicago fire of

CANADA'S NEW FLAG.
A Number of Appropriate Designs Sug-
K<'Kletl by Prominent Persons.
Canada wants a new flag, and her
most patriotic sons are at work devis
ing a fitting* emblem wherewith to sup
plant the old standard. The one here
reproduced, says Once a Week, is the
design of Mr. Stanford Fleming, C. M.
(i., the orginator of the Pacific cable
scheme. It is a red flag* with the Union
•lack in the upper left-hand corner
and a white star of seven points in the
lower right-hand corner. The seven
points represent the seven provinces,
and Mr. Fleming* suggests that in the
event of admitting a new province or
provinces the number of points in the
star could easily he increased. No ex
ception can be taken to this flag on the
score of beauty and simplicity, but
there seems to be a general desire on
the part of Canadians to sec tlicir na

Dllilculty of Saving Money,
"Talk about saving money," said a
veteran millionaire to a Buffalo En
quirer reporter, "it is a hundred times
harder now to keep cash in your pocket
than it was when I was a young fellow
and didn't spend a cent. I tell you it's
hard for them to save in these times.
Every young man wants a bicycle, and
it's mighty hard to stand on the street
and see your friends spinning by 011
wheels and not invest yourself. Again,
its a great privation for a young fellow
not to be well dressed. The distinction
between good clothes and poor is so
sharp nowadays that it is galling to be
conspicuous by cheap attire. Again,
there is the theater, the excursion boat,
the races, and a score of other induce
ments to spend money which hardly
existed in my day, and I'm glad they
didn't, for if they had I honestly think
I would have been a poor man now."

THE FUTURE OF WAR.
Modern Guns Will Necessitate a
Change in Taotios.
According to Con. Fltzhugh Loo, Defen
sive Battles Will Be at a Premium
and Defensive Warfare Will
Be Simplified.
The modern guns will make great
changes in the art of war, writes Gen.
1' itzhugh Lee In the Century, and the
plans cmploj'ed in former campaigns
by the great commanders will receive
many modifications. Defensive battles
will bo at a premium, and defensive
warfare will be simplified. Armies will
maneuver for position, and the generals
commanding them will gain fame by
movements skillfully conducted to con
cent rate their scattered battalions at
the proper time, with the purpose of
forcing un antagonist to give rather
than to accept battle. If a campaign
with a designated objective point is
planned, and the strategy is ofFensive
on the part of one of the commanders,
if possible his tactics will be defensive.
Hostile armies will keep at greater dis
tances and in open country out of sight
of each other, unless they can take up
a line at night and intrench; and direct
flank movements will not be attempted
where troops are visible before the as
sault. Field balloons will locate the
position, and photography mark the
formation of contending forces, while
telephones and electricity will play
prominent parts in the war drama.
Night marching and night attacks will
be more frequent, and columns of
troops organized to charge stationary
positions will be moved under darkness i
to close points so that the charge at
dawn will occupy the shortest time
possible.
Raging battles will be fought by in
fantry and aptillery, and one of the
problems will be the protection of the
horses that draw the guns. Temporary
field-works cannot shelter them, and
unless hills afford protection they will
perish in the leaden hail. Cavalry will
not be employed on the main field of a
battle, but on the flanks of armies,
against cavalry. Cavalry chieftains
will no longer assail infantry or artil
lery, and no more charges will be re
corded like those of Ponsonby at
GEN. FITZHUGII LEE.
Waterloo or Murat at Jena. This arm
will still be effective iu reconnaissances,
picketing, guarding trains, and as es
corts; but except in small bodies its
use for advance and rear-guards will
be diminished. The target presented
is too large to be risked before field
guns firing with great rapidity, even of
several miles distant, as well as before
infantry rifies incessantly flashing a
mile away.
Maneuvering a cavalry corps with,
say, 10,000 horses on a future battle
field would be a high type of cruelty to
animals; but the regiments, brigades
and divisions composing it can still
render good service. They can be
moved with celerity long distances, and
the troopers, except tlic horse-holders,
can be dismounted and used as infantry,
their modern carbines being nearly as
effective as the magazine-rifle of the
infantryman; but it will bo most diffl
cult to protect the horses while locat
ing tliem in such a position as to rcacli
their riders or be reached by them
quickly, when necessary.
Perhaps the most interesting prob
lem to be solved by those who organize
armies in the future is tho disposition
nnd arrangement of the Immense ammu
nition trains. The greedy guns must
be fed, and great will be their rapacity.
Next to the commanding general and
his principal assistants will rank in
importance the Held chief of ord
nance, who has tlic locution of
supply depots and the management
of the transportation of large and
small cartridges to the combatants.
The continual replenishing of caissons
and limber boxes, the smaller charges
for infantry during actual conflict, and
the safety and efficiency of vast trains
where electric or steam roads cannot
bo constructed, will require a brave,
enterprising, cool, vigilant officer of
conspicuous ability and executive ca
pacity.
The medical department, too, must
be reorganized and enlarged to convey
the disabled to field hospitals, for field
ambulances cannot be placed close to
battle lines, and the numbers of the
wounded will be greatly increased.
The great captains of future wars
will be those who fully comprehend
the destructive power of improved
cannon and small arms, and whose
calin and fertile intellect will grasp the
importance of so maneuvering as to
force the antagonist to give offensive
battle, and who will never bo without
a "clear conception of the object to be
achieved and the best way of achieving
it." They will parry and fence like
great swordsmen, but they will thrust
only when the enemy rushes upon
them.
