A REMARKABLE PHENOMENON manifested
itself during the height of the storm on
Tuesday at about 11:35 p M. The baro-
metric pressure had then fallen as low as
30. 81 inches, showing steady decline since
morning of sixty one-hundredths of an inch.
At the hour above indicated the atmospheric
pressure underwent q sudden change, which
affected even the gas pressure all over the
city at the same moment, and caused a fail
ing of the light which lasted over ten min
utes. At the HERALD Office the cause of the
phenomenon was discussed, and the opinion
expressed that it was due to sudden baro-
metric change. On reference to the official
record yesterday at the Signal Service Office
we found the oscillation clearly marked on
the diagram of the self-registering barom-
eter. An illustration of the remarkable
change appears in another column.

The HARRISBURG Convention.

This is week of preparation among tns
republicans for the Cincinnati Convention.
but of all the State conventions which lave
been held SO far that at Harrisburg yes'er-
day is the most important. The selection OF
the delegates at large from Pennsylvania
shows that the party is still controlled by
that veteran leader Senator Cameron, and the
tone of the resolutions indicates that General
Grant finds no favor with the republic
cans of the Keystone State. There is not so
much as a crumb of comfort for the admin
istration, while the Belknap exposure leads
to declaration more forcible and epigram-
matte than is often found in party platforms.
Not only do the republicans of Pennsylvania
ask for honest men in Office, but they
demand men with brains enough to
know dishonesty when they see it
and courage enough to fight it wher-
ever they find it. The third term
could not have received more terrible
blow even if it had been direct. But the
name of Pennsylvania candidate for the
Presidency is not a subject for so much con-
graduation. The Endorsement of Hartranft
is only blind, which deceives nobody and
is scarcely meant to deceive anybody. He
has no more chance for nomination
at Cincinnati than a hundred other
gentlemen we could name, and his
Endorsement was only convenient
cover for the support of Blaine as against
Bristow The platform was Blaines in every
essential particular, especially in the school
clause and in the resolution antagonizing
the South, while even the time-honored pro-
lection platitudes of his native State cannot
be distasteful to him. Bristow, on the other
hand, receives no recognition whatever, and
it is so painfully evident that the Convention
meant to turn him cold shoulder that we
may well doubt whether the Pennsylvania
republicans know an honest man when they
see him. 1t is these things which
give the Harrisburg Convention its great
significance and make the platform the key
note of the coming campaign. Even the
Cincinnati platform will be only an elabora-
ton of Mr. McPherson's declarations in
regard to democratic purpose in the South,
the silly chatter about the public schools
and the other unimportant questions upon
which it is intended to make the canvass
hinge. The real issues before the country
are carefully kept out of sight, and it looks
as if we are to have another campaign with
candidates and platforms but without prin-
ciples.

The Political Canvass in cOnnec-
tfcut.

With this busy week the electioneering con-
test will close in Connecticut, the election
taking place on next Monday. According to
the present outlook there is bare possibility,
but not probability, that the republicans
will carry the State. If last years election
returns could be accepted as the only basis
of calculation it would be safe to predict a
democratic success but the figures of 1870
are only one of several elements that must
be taken into account. Last year Governor
Ingersoll received SO, 752 votes, and Mr.
Greene, his competitor, 44,272, making a
plurality of 9,4S0 for Ingersoll, who had
an absolute majority of 6,548 over both
Greene and the temperance candidate,
Smith. Mr.. Robinson, the present re-
publican candidate, is, therefore, con-
fronted with formidable odds, and if
he should succeed against such odds the
republican party at large will be justifiably
sanguine of great victory in the Presiden-
tial election. The more probable result in
Connecticut is a reduction, but not an ex-
tinction, of the democratic majority of last
year.
The discouraging thing for the democrats
is the fact that the general sweep of the
political tide has been against them for the
last eight or nine months. The elections of
last autumn were disastrous to the demo-
cratic party in the three largest States of the
Union. They lost Ohio, where they had q
majority of II, 2O2 in 1874, the republicans
electing their Governor in 1875 by a majority
of 5,544 They also lost Pennsylvania,
which they carried in 1874 by 4,679 majority,
Governor Hartranft, the republican candi-
date, having been elected by majority of
1900 in 1875. They did not quite lose New
York, for they saved their State ticket, al
though the republicans elected q majority
of both branches of the Legislature; but
Mr. Bigelow, the leading candidate on
their State ticket, received only 14,S10
majority whereas Governor Tilden's
majority in the preceding election
had been 50,317. There is no reason
for stpposing that the causes which pro-
duced these great democratic checks have
ceased to operate or have abated their force.
Until the Babcock trial and Belknap ex-
posure there was good reason for thinking
the democratic ebb to be still in progress,
and the town elections of New York and the
State election in New Hampshire gave no
indication that those astounding events had
arrested the current which was running so
strongly against the democratic party. If
the recent exposures shall produce as little
effect in Connecticut as they did in New
Hampshire the same general causes which
have set back the democratic tide within the
last eight months will reduce, if they do not
obliterate, Governor Ingersolls majority of
last spring. His present competitor, Mr..
Robinson, is a strong and popular candidate,
and the most the Connecticut democrats can
expect this year is to barely save the State.

THE PEOPLE OF New YORK are not likely
either to forget or overlook the action of the
Assembly on Mr.. Killian's mo Seat No
Fare" bill, nor will they view with equanim-
ity a failure TO investigate the causes which
led 10 its defeat The course of the Rail-
road Committee was without excuse, and Mr..
Killians remarkable absence when the bill
was reported adversely and during the next
day has not yet been satisfactorily explained.
It was only natural that grave charges of
corruption should follow such an extraor-
binary Legislative episode. When they were
made there was an abundance Of personal
explanations" and promises of an investiga-
ton. But the investigation of the moment
has already spent its force, and there is no
indication Of nm inquiry by which the truth
may be established. This was what was to
be expected from the loud words and pre-
tentious boasting Of the statesmen who
are responsible for the defeat of the bill, but
the public will not be satisfied so easily
They must not complain if, in public esti-
nation, failure TO inquire is regarded as
evidence Of the consciousness Of guilt

THE PROSPECT OF PEACE in Herzegovina
induces Russia, as we anticipated it would,
10 throw off the mask of friendliness to the
Porte, which she assumed because she
thought that the way to Remembering Tur-
key might as well be paved with sweet
words as harsh ones. Besides this it kept
Russia in line with the other Powers bent
politely on the same object 1t is probable
that Austria has been more successful in her
pacifcatory endeavors than she desired, and
if this unmasking by Russia sets the strife
going again, and so demonstrates Turkey
impotence, Austria will accept little abuse
from the unofficial Russian press with COM
parative complacency.

linn unity to witnesses.

The surprising failure of the Senate to
pass the House bill for the protection of wit
nesses is bringing some of the most impor-
tant investigations to dead halt. We can
imagine no excuse or palliation for q delay
which obstructs justice. Whatever defects
there may be in the bill its purpose is right,
and it ought to have been promptly taken up
and passed by the Senate, either with or
without amendments. The fact that the
form of the bill is exposed to some objections
cannot justify the neglect of the Senate.
The House would probably agree to reason
able amendments, or, at all events, the
Senate would be free from blame if proper
amendments were not concurred in. The
republicans of the House, although they
disliked some features of the bill, gave it an
almost unanimous support. They desired
amendments, but recognizing the urgency
of the bill they thought it unwise to cause
delay. The Senate ought to have taken up
so important bill at once and have sent it
promptly back to the House with necessary
amendments, if they could not accept it in
its original form. The republican Senate
cannot afford to screen criminals from ex-
posure and punishment by refusing to pro-
tect witnesses who can be induced to testify
only by perfect assurance Of personal
safety.

THE VELOCITY OF THE WIND during the
storm of Tuesday night reached the extraor-
binary speed Of seventy-two miles an hour
between Ill and ii 20 p NJ, with calcu-
lated pressure Of twenty-six pounds per
square foot Immediately previous to the
first time indicated the wind velocity was
forty-eight miles per hour. Just then q
vivid flash of lightning was observed,
which was followed by a deafening peal of
thunder, and the wind speed suddenly
reached the maximum given above. There
is scarcely any doubt that the electric
discharge created sudden rarefaction of
the air, which was Immediately followed by
an indraught from tho direction of the
highest barometric pressure and conse-
quent extremely sudden but temporary in
crease in the velocity Of the wind.
