"May not the many electric plants and wires distributed throughout the country hat something to do with It?

Ttie reasoning upon which the hopeful chairman bjes his anticipations is, thac If every rwoerat who iH-ftivss the tip wii! vote, the ticket it will "Of this ther can be no ioubl." says the chairman. Whether the Inter.ttOiJ is to reach every Democrat In. the Ftate before elaetion day run only conjeetnred, 1-ut thla 'would probably be too a task for the bureau of information at Ailentown.

Now that the secret is out by the publication of copies of the "confidential" letters, all those Ijerr.ocrat who read the papers can be reached, and those who do not read can lie posted by who do. 1'erbaps. this Is a part of Chairman Wright's scheme, for he expressly fays that "this- year we not resort to the ordinary campaign -methods of pul.lio meetings parades and Mln demonstrations." Republicans! you know now why your old time en rnies have been keeping so quiet and lying so low. They have arr ambush prepared for you, and expect you to walk riKht up to the cannon's mouth to be slaughtered They have been conducting a "sUU hunt" and confidently expect to the game." Chairman Wright rays "thete can be no doubt" ahout it. Isut the tld adage appiie: "Forewarned! Is forearmeu." Chairman riirht's scheme to capture the" state and carry off the honor of hvior won the preliminary -skirmish in the great battle of IKOf; ilaK been "given away" by some Democrat "wao duc not properly the ohl.Uatlons impoi-ed by the term "c.o:i!idential," or more probably by some one who has abandoned the party in dis-g-jst and no longer wishes to be recognized as a At all events "the jig up" and Pennsylvania will give a fair average I Republican maiori'y.

In the languase of Chairman Wright, "of. this there can be no doubt." river men who pretend to say they ever i freezing weather sets in and we will have a winter drought that may bring a famine." There is no excuse for going out to hunt a famine. The drought is bad enough as it is, but it mhrnt be a great deal worse without causing a famine in a country with such a vtrWl climate as we have, Were it to remain dry oni.il the northern sectoii freezes up would make more i tFouHe for northern people, but the I southern ami western sections that do not freeze are sufficient in extent, and i productiveneiis to supply the wants oi all i for a year or two at least. Seed time and harvest was promised as a. sure thit.sr nii have ev-r-rv reason i to believe tha promise will be fulfilled.

Reeaose the below the average for a year or two is no sign that it going to continue to ftay there in definitely For two years previous to ihe beginning of the cry spell the farmers were complaining of too much rain, and some of them predicted a genera! drowning out of crops followed by famine, but their predictions were not verified. The causes of dry spells have not been, discussed very extensively yet, and scientists do not seem to take much interest in ihe subject. This may be due to a lack of knowledge concerning the matter. In fact this is the reason. In spite cf weather bureaus, weather sharps ard i i prophets, comparatively little is known certainly about the of rain, or cold.

A low barometer indicates rain, but the cause oZ the low barometer, or low atmospheric pressure, still remains a mystery. However, the idea that 1 trie currents have something to do with the chaoses of pressure, is becoming quite popular, yet the class of scientists claiming to be the only legitimate exponents of science, refuse to indorse it. But there are others, and some of these profess to have that electric or magnetic currents are constantly passing between the fun and earth, and that these are dis-turbed by the other planets, thereby causing them to vary in intensity and in character. A writer in ont of tbe agricultural journals indulges hi some speculation on this 'UlatlOii on this sting, if not in- I iw, tirn(, point that will prove infere: strut-five, to tfv-ay just at th: "Weather prophets and meteorologists have been finding causes for these strange freaks in the weather in the Conformations of the nlanets nearest our earth, or in the continual and continued destruction of our forest trees, but thus far we think they have failed to account for the ir- river men wno pretend to say tney ever knew or heard of the like.

2.. The last gen ral meeting of the NTe York yacht club for the year 1895 hM to-rdght. The cup committee submitted its report, all of which, with the exception of the folio.vir.g relating to Lord Dtmraven's protest, re-spectlpg the measurements the Defender, has already been made public. "On Saturday, September 7. Lord Dun-raven coimmunioated to the cup committee hH belief that Defender had sailed that day's race immersed three or four inches more than she was measured.

Dunraven stated that he believed that the ch inge had been made without tne knowledge of Defender's owners, but it must be corrected or he would iiiseoutinue racing. The cup committee ordered a re-measurement to be made. "On September the yachts were marked as requested by Lord Dunraveti at. the same time they were re-measured, with the result of only one-eigh'h of an inch in low water mark in cate of D-tender and one-sixteenth of an inch in v'alkyric. As the result varied th time allowance only a second or two an1 in iuj way affected the outcome of the races, it is pot deemed necessary to give additional measurements." The following resolution was "That a cup be presented to the owners of Defender in recognition their successful defense of the America's cup in th recent match and that a cup be also presented to Mr.

George J. Gould as an expression of the club's inprc -iarioii of his. generous and sportsmanlike in putting the Vigilant in and placing; her at the disposal of the club" LOOK' AFTER THE MINERS. Gov. AHsei.l Snys the- Oi.eratoT Are Strung uml Cau Tk- Cjre ot 'l'lieiis-lv-.

Chicago, Oct. 24. Gov. Altgeld recently appointed seven state mine inspactors, and to-day he sammoued them lieforo him, gave them their commissions and then ms-do a talk to them regarding the.r duties. The governor said: "The mining laws of this state were enacted for the protection of the weak and poor.

The operator, who is strong, can tako care of himself. These coal miners are sometimes ignorant of their rights, always poor and Oependeat. and cannot manifest their dissatisfaction with objectionable conditions prevailing around the mines without risking, their jabs. You are, therefore-, appointed by the state to do tor them what rhey cannot do for them, selves. I.

therefore, insist that, in im-pect-ing mines you do so without permitting the operators or their representatives to accompany; you. Make your inspection thorough and independent, without their aid. After you iiavvi done so. brd out from the men if there is any grctmd for comidaiBt among them. "I further wish to say that there has been entirely too many accidents; nut that there ius been more within the past few years than tonneriy, but I mean to say there tivr? seme accidents that should have been Si voided."

From present indications there will be no lack of mat' rial wlih which to start rhe investigation into the management of affair it Philadelphia. The committee get down-to business on the lUrt of six days after the r'ata election. Ttieve has.alas been or less uncertainty the sim-erity of thoe who lapsed the eomrr.U-ttf-. and the earnestness of tboe posing it, and It has been repen telly al leges that the committee was to be used as club In the interest of cse faction ana to the detriment of. arjother.

There are not a few who believe that -when the in vestigatioii Khali have been entered Upon it will be conducte-l so as to expose one class of offenders and shield another. These allegations and misgivintr are about to be put to the test, and the public will be quick to detect the drift and leaning of the committee." A resonable -vterr of tits case is That a searching and impartial investigation will be had. The committee will receive the assistance of the ilunkinal aRsocliiftort: and a Kiiff icient pledge of the of that body is found tit. the -fact that it has employed b5e rnunsoi and guaranteed the payment cf expenses up to the limit of $20.0. Subscriptions to the fund have been coming In liberally, and this Is a tolerably" certain Indication that, whatever inay be the doubts of the public or the wishes of the politic the citizens expect honest work and whoWsriin results.

The al leged corrujpt Jfr fa toiiJ between ity coun-eilfnen and corporations, by which both have profited at the expense of the taxpayers; the letting of contracts to political bosses and their friends, the acceptance of inferior work from dishonest contractors; and the abuses which grow out of the use of policemen fur partisan purposes, are among the subjects which' still receive-f-he attention of the commit- ice. It is sail that not a single week has passed since the appointment of tne senate committee that has not supplied evidence of the necessity of the proposed inquiry. Among the most recent charges is one to the effect that Mayor Warwick mane a corrupt bargain with certain persons that they- should be given appointments in consideration for services rendered in the late factional fight. One af these. real estate assessor, has been cheated in the deal, and has mane the 1 v.

It is alleged that by ro stret'-h of interpretation can the law be made to sam tion the practice of selling -tax receipts tj political committees, to be used by them' in hustling for votes about election time.

Thus it will be seen that there Is abundant material at hand for tho committee, nnd if it fails to acrpm- anything it will net be for. lack of opportunity. THE TJX rLATE I.XDI STIIV, It is not a little amusing- to tir.d free trad-j Dtraocial.s boasting atout the steady growth of the tin plate industry under the Wilson tariff. The whole coun try will readily recall tne arguments tness j-time persona made in 1832, and even later, that the higher duties imposed by the McKinley tarift foreign ilate8 had failed to establish the business in this country, it was boldly asserted that tin piate was heirs manufactured in commercial Quantities In the United States and never could be. and that the proper thing to do was to let that product in free t-f duty.

There had been no tin plate cf uny censequeuce made here prior to the i. -1 i v. Republican contention was that under that law the. industry could be so firmly established -that the entire home consumption eouM be supplied from our own mills In less than a decade. The Democrats would hare it that way, but favored plating that cfi.ir-.-""?.t --e iiai, ss thy iicciartd it wrong- to tax the people millions of dol'a in the vain hope of a' -fompllshlnsc an iinpossi-bility.

Now is oifk-iall conceded that a very prosperous industry ha.i been buiit up in tha coun'ry, drawing its? vitality from the McKinley taj-iif, and that it Is even developing under the lower duties imposed by the VTilsorr at. Three years ago, so-(rfiins? to the free all the bus-i lne3? amounted to waa the dipping of a few imported black plates in imported tin by imported workmen. No it has c-uddeuly developed into an enormous traiii. iird "all under the Wilson tartif." The trulh if. the tin plate industry in 1 9 was one of tne strong-eat proofs of IeneEts protection, and the llem-tiorafs wished to destrnv that evidence The Wilson bill waa prepared with that idea view.

But as it was finally passed, whether unwittingly or not, the duties were high enough to say it from destruction. Toe tow rate of wages la another in lt favor, and taken altogether Special Treu- ury Aicent Ayer is enabled to report "a marked increase" in production arid in the number of snilist in rnpration The facts In regard to the growth of this Industry ha-i been concealed as lonsr as ll was possible to suppress them, but when the stubbirnb refused to and die," as the Democrats hoped wouH. -he ttnth had 'rs be made pub-li. It will hardly be contended that the lower duties imposed under the present tarlt have helped to "accelerate the ifrowth" of the in of foreign or that the higher j-lutixa llriit.f thf utt. of IV.Wi if lff lmHia.

Tbe more light that is thrown on the events whb-h marked the memorable national convention of 1S0, the more apparent it becomes that Garfield was fabh-ful throughout to Sherman. There was a greai deal of intrigue and strategy displayed during the prolonged struggle between the forces of Grant and Blaine, but Garfield remained loyal to Sherman through it all. ft was the lelk.f among Rlaine's friends that Grant was 1. roughs: forward to nomination, and great bitterness was thus engendered against Grant.

On the other band. Grant's supporters thought that Blaine was being used to thwart iheir purposes. The frlcrtfls of the other candidates oi-vided up without manifesting special hostility to either of the two principal Blaine's friends succeeded ir. the Ohio delegation ag.tin.-t ihe expressed wishes of Sherman, and majority of the Sherman men w--re more inclined to co to Grant than to Blaine. The relations of Garfield and foster to were not well understood at the outset.

They were almost the tirst qf the Ohio men to call at the Grant headquarters. On the morning of the nomination it was intimated that several of the vest-ern Ulalne delegations would go to Grant after two ballots, and as this was understood at both headquarters the of the opposition to Grant was to have' the bteak take place before the second or third balkt. "Thty decided." says the Chicago Inter Ocean, "that Garfield was the one man to defeat the nomination of Grant, and he was brought forward just in time to do it. Whoever was responsible for the management should receive credit for one of the best pieces of political diplomacy that ever gave character to a national convention." Our Chicago contemporary continues: "This leaves the whole question of treachery outskle the pale of discussion. The struggle between the Grant and the Blaine forces hid been continued for several days.

There was no break in the Grant line. The delegates were attached to their leader; they believed in him and they believed in hist representatives on the floor of the convention. Realizing this, the Blaine loaders took advantage of the movement in favor of and virtually stampeded the several groups ef delegates to him. "It was a great convention and Garfield bore himself well under the very trying circumstances. It Is fortunate that fifteen years after the convention one of the candidates who bareiy missed the nomination can write in so fair minded a spirit of the intrigues and diplomacy of that great gathering of Republican leaders.
