Our neighbor, the Tribune, should
not display such a malevolent spirit
toward Hon. Jos. Rankin. A man so
active in the interests of the democratic
party of the state must expect the opposi-
ton press to say unkind things of his
public life Mr.. Rankin has interfered
much with republican success in the
state, has cluag with too great fidelity
to the fortunes of party which has met
with many unaccountable reverses, and
one which works in the interests of the
poor man, to expect immunity from hos
tile criticism. Still no man in the state
has warmer personal friends among the
republicans of Wisconsin, and no man
is possessed of more of these manly quail
tiles which make friends among those of
generous natures. Mr. Rankin has
cold exterior but it is no index to his
heart, as the deeds of charity he has un-
ostentatiously done, will bear ample tes-
timony. If Mr.. Rankin were candi-
date before the people, the wretched
system of electioneering, which prevails,
might serve as a justification to the 7ri-
5u'1e for its truculent attacks. But the
persistent bounding of man because of
his prominence, solely, is inexcusable.
These attacks may be annoying, they
cannot be injurious. They but bind
more closely to Mr.. Rankin those who
know the sterling worth of the man.
Everyone, without respect to party, rep
rebates them. IF the editor of the 71'i-
bane has any personal dislike for Mr..
Rankin his paper should certainly not be
made a vehicle for personal attacks
They do not iniure Mr.. Rankin while
they provoke comment not favorable to
the writer of them. A paper is often
forced to say disagreeable things and
these occasions are sufficiently frequent
to crafty the most vehement i'll nature.

three weeks ago against former reduction in their
wages. The men claim that the firm reported the
weekly earnings OF their employees to be on
average $685. whereas in reality they did not average
more than half that amount. committee Of three

private exhibition of Mr.. Edisons new electro

tcrday before a number of ladies and gentlemen
from New York. The occasion the final

their shipment to London, where they are

electro photograph telephone explained in these
columns shortly after the invention. 1t consists
briefly of new property Of eectr,city-viz.. the
power of electricity to lessen friction normally

Professor Barker, of the University of Pennsyiva-
MIA a personal friend of Mr. Edison The Professor
examined with interest the new generating machine

of the most difficult parts of the electric light sys

of sufficient delicacy to measure with unvarying
curacy the one-hundrcdth of a horse power. Tho
new apparatus does this and works with entire re-
liability. The manner in which this result IL
complished is quite curious. for, strange IL may
seem, the horse power Is literally weighed. Tho
belt leading from the engine IL arranged to
q pulley attached to box which IL filled with
weights and which rests u pair of ordinary
scales. The increase OF the strain upon the belt
tenis to lift the box of weights from the scae thus
causing the latter indirectly TO show by the dminu-
tion in weight the amount of strain the belt.
Bearing in mind that the amount Of strain upon
belt is the indication of the horse power
which the belt is conveying. 1t can readily
bo understood that any means by which
the increase decrease of such strain
can be shown will indicate the horse power obtained
from the engine. With this dynamometer Mr.. Edi-
enabled to calculate tho cost of the cleo
trlc light to the mnutest detail. Previously the
only way has been to approximate when beyond tho
reliable working point OF the old dynamometer.

To THE EDITOR THE HERALp;-
The steamer Adelaide seems to be regularly ad.
vertised TO make excursions to Long Branch. There
are many citizens who have been waiting anxiously
Tor nearly two weeks to hear from those who man.
age the boat. On Tuesday. 18th inst. the Adelaide
was advertised to make two excursions--morning
aud afternoon--to Long Branch She made the
morning trip landing hall past twelve at the pier
and the captain assured those who landed that he
would return at o'clock. After waiting pa
tienty until long after that hour we were informed
by two gentlemen who arrived by rail that the
steamer would not return-thereby leaving more
than one hundred passengers to get home ~ best
they could. We did not receive word of explana-
ton, by telegraph otherwise and have not since.
Among the passengers thus left many women
and children ana thirteen who had not the to
pay for railroad ticket and would have been left ut
the beach had not the passengers themselves helped
them through. hope ycu will publish the above
that the public may be cautious about buying excur.
sion tickets until they know they dealing with
responsible parties. and also that II may bring out
some explanation OF the conduct Of those who run

ASCENT OF MOUNT ARG EtS
Ancicnt Human Caye.nwellingS Found
Above the SNOW Line.
L.nnden rlmes.

Two Eughshmen, Henry +. To2er and
I. Nj, Crowder, have recently assembled
Mount ArSwus, the highest mountain III
Asia Minor II is only 1000 feet less
elevated than Mount Ararat, in West
eru Asia. In the account which they
send T. the London Times they state
that their first tent was pitched ON the
mountain side 5000 feet above the
Lowell OF the sea. At > O'clock the next
morning they started under the bril-,
liant light OF the full moon, and began
y climb vt 600 feet which was n terri
lily hard piece ot work, rs the ground
was extremely steop and the face of the
mountain WAS covered with loose stones
and masses oi fallen rock equally uu-
trustworthy to the foot When they
were in tine middle oI this climb the
first rays Of the sun fell on the porphyry
rocks above them and produced i
splendid effect Ivy turning them to n
bright crimson.
a. last, at about & a, M, they reached
the ridge, where there was u long arete
of snow Mt the head of vast SNOW
slope, which formed " conspicuous OH
lect on the north side when seen from
kaiserieh, eating u few steps IN tho
frozen snow they reached n point some
200 foet higher, At the lase Of the final
peak, which rose over fifty feet above,
and was perpendicular and wholly inn
practicable. TINS point had been
reached before hy Hamilton, tho Sec
rotary of the London Geographical
Society, in 1887, and Nv TchihacheA,
the Russian sayant, in ISIS. The view
was very extensive, including the long
line OF Anti-Taurus to the east, the
mountains that run down toward
Lycaonia to tho southwest, and 10 the
rorth the vast unduhting plains. or
rather steppcs. which occupy this nte.
riur oI the country. But far the most
remarkable feature was the mountain
itself, for the lofty piunaolcs Of porphy-
~ which rose around and beneath
them, vcritaNo ciGles, were rs wonder
tul II sight NJ could well be conceived.
Ii was strange, even III that land of
Cappadocia, which is full of ancient
rock dwellings, to find the rocks OK
cavated close To the summit; aud these
chambers were clearly artificial, for the
marks of the chisel were evident along
the roof and walls, and there were
inches cut III the sides.
