THE BEECHER-TILTON SCANDAL.

It would take more than a first class Phi
ladelphia Lawyer to clear up the Beecher-
Tilton scandal. The following is from the
Herald.
The publication made elsewhere is the close
of the controversy between Mr.. Beecher and
Mr.. Tilton. The long expected thunderbolt
has fallen. Mr.. Titon submits his case to the
American people. If it were the case of two
eager politicians anxious to determine the rela-
ton of one party to another, If it were the ambi-
ton of the leaders of contending parties stIug-
Cling for power, we might dismiss it with the
hasty consideration we give TO questions OF
this kind as they com to US from day to day.
But in this matter the gravest issues are to be
considered, and We have no right to pass any
Judgment until we have considered every
aspect of the case. On one side we have Mr.,
TiIton, a young man of wide promise and rea-
sOnable tulilment, who has made a reputation
such as has fallen to few men so young, put
who has been clamorous for a long time IN MS
entreaties to the American people. He has
asked US to believe that in the course OF lie
he has received an injury from Mr.. Beecher.
The nature of this injury was certainly sufi-
cient to lead Mr.. Beecher to dictate a letter
which is very difficult of explanation. Such a
letter from a cold-blooded man of the world
would be one thing; from Mr.. Beecher it is
another, for he is a man of generous nature, OF
exuberant rhetoric, disposed to exaggeratlon.
The ordinary sins of a man of the world, the
venial sins which are committed and forgiven
every day, Wonld in the case of a man like Mr..
Beecher, especially when be was in q mood OF
cOntriti0n or reproach, become the graVest
offences in the decalogue. And we are bound,
therefore, to consider his declarations In this
spirit.

METEOROLOGICAL REPORT

At the ordinary temperature, the air can contain
diff rent quantities Of water in the form OF yapor,
and when these quantities are exceeded, the water
separates from it as rain, dew, etc. The higher the
temperature the greater quantity of vapor can be
contained in The ar; if the air is cooled it will be-
come proportionally more damo, even if contain
ing the same quantity Of vapor. This is one of
the causes why rain falls more frequently at night,
The dampness of the atmosphere may be mea-
sured by means of two thermometers, read off
imuItaneously,-th one being an ordinary one,
and the other having the bulb surrounded by a
wet piece of cloth, from which the water is con-
stantly evapOrating. The drier the atmosphere,
the more water will evaporato and the lower the
thermometer will stand. The greater, therefore
the difference between the simultaneous stand OF
the two thermometers, the drier is the atmosphere
at the given moment.

His Excellency, Governor Garde, lett
here Monday forenoon tor St. Thomas
in the "VigiIaut."
During his stay here, His EXcellency
held a m, citing with the Central Factory
Committee, appointed at the first great
meeting at Castle BOurke for the further
ance of the Factory and Credit As>ocia-
ton Scheme. The result of the meeting
is not definitely known beyond, perhaps,
the circle of those 8 directly interested
The establishment of the Factories,
we learn from the Report on the Working
of the System in Ma Unique, is dependent
on an ample supply of canes, secured by
the subscription of growers Some two
or three of these, we understand, have
Withdrawn their promise to deliver their
canes.
Il would be a great pity that this act of
theirs, which may have been caused by
the influence of parties not directly inter
ested in the scheme, which they may fancy
will be injurious to their interests, should
have the effect Of frustrating a measure
which, with other Improvements that
would follow, would be the greatest and
most beneficial industrial measure ever
proposed in this island, and it is to
be sincerely hoped, that the Cover
nor will continue to work for it
with the same assiduity and zeal as
hitherto, in spite of difficulties originating
from considerations of a personal nature,
which he will have to encounter wherever
any change whatever is to be made.
This we understand also to have been the
request of the Committee of His Excellen-
cy, after the withdrawal Of one of their
number-one of the three planters who had
been relieved from their promise to de-
liver their canes.

furious enough to the crop, and which
terminated in a few extremely hot DAYS
in the beginning ofsis month, we have
again had some very beneficial showers all
over the island, varying from 8 to IA lines
in the different localities. If this weather
continues, there are the best prospects for
the crop. 1t is pleasing to observe that

HOFFMAN,, TIE GERMAN PoET.-1n
the death Of this cclebre,ed man,
which occurred a few days since, Ger
many has lost II of its oldest poets.
Hoffman, was born in l79S, at F'aller-
sleben, where his father was a mer-
chant and a burgomaster. lie studied
theology at Rome, but his literary
tastes took him into a different field.
His first literary labor was to engage
with the brothers Grimm in philoloyi-
cal pursuits. In 1920 he published his
first work. an edition of the "Frag-
ments of Ottfi led" He was a wide
traveller, an ardent explorer of the ira
ditions. popular songs, and ballads OF
the people he visited, and has pub
lislled several works on these subjects.
The principal journals of Germany
have all been enriched by philological
and poetical contributions from bis
PEN. He took no part in the revolu-
ton Of 1913, and had since that time
been living in retirement on the banks
of the Rhine.

LET WELL ENoUaH .ALoNE.-From
the journals published i'll the Atlantic
Safes, we hear constant complaints
nat the labor market is over>tocked.
That is the long and short of the dis
t-ess, the strikes, and the riotings OF
the past few years. If the tide of
immigration goes on increasing
as it has Of late years; if Joseph Arch
writes a new Exodus in the worlds
history by transferring his tens OF
thousands of followers to America,
then the wages of labor, especially OF
skilled labor, will surely, inevitably be
pressed down to the lowest point en-
durable. 1t really seems that the bus
ness of encouraging immigration has
been overdone. The expulsion OF its
agents from Germany was by no
means All evil to America. Let us let
we'll enough alone, and endeavor to as
simulate the men who will come among
us of their own accord, without
swapping ourselves by voluntarily
bringing to our shores thousands on
thousands of men clamorous for the
work and subsistence that we canno.
furnish them.

Uses OF SLAG.-From an exchange
we learn that the uses of the Stag OF
blast furnaces appear to be multiply
ing to such a degree as to give a osi-
tive industrial. and commercial value
to a hitherto worthless material. In
addition to the employment of the ar
ticle i'll the manufacture of brick. there
are certain conditions Of the furnace in
which it is now as~certained that Stag
may be spun by the blast into fine
fibres. making a substance which is
sometimes called "furnace WOOL
this material being a very bad con-
ductor of heat, it has recently been
proposed to use it as packing, to pre-
vent the loss of heat about boilers. etc.
The manufacture a paving stones
from the Stag may also. it i. found. be
successfully carried on. When prop
erly made the material wears well, and
has been used in some of the cities of
Europe, under severe tests, for several
wears.
