A REMARKABLE INVENTION
Which Proposes to Discount the Telegraph
and the Alphabet. :
fN1.u vo.I-

and the Alphabet.
New York Star.
At one of the desks in the office of the
Government stores, corner of Washington
and Laight streets, a reporter Of the Star
yesterday found Mr.. Charles G.. Burke, a
gentleman whose name may yet be known
to fortune and fame through a remarkable
invention which he has perfected. The
invention, If it does what he claims it
will do, will work a complete revolution
in the Telegraph business and in written
language. It will, he says, do away with
the somewhat cumbersome Morse alpha
bet, so that telegraph operators can be
saved half the labor they now perform.
The new system can also be applied to
field signals and telegraphy in military
operations. .,.>.-e ...,s.,s.*
At the present time the only means of
imparting information otherwise than by
word of mouth, is through the medium OF
a language employing twenty-six letters
or characters, and as in the case Of telc-
graphing and signaling, where the means
Of giving the equivalent of these twenty
six letters is so verv limited, the process
is one OF great difficulty, and requiring
unusual skill aud experience in those en-
gagged in the. business. In Mr.. Burke's
system he employed a new language,
based upon the English language, and a
perfect substitute for it, employing, how
ever, only four characters, or in other
words, he accomplishes with four charac-
tiers or letters all that heretofore was
capable of being effected by the use OF
twenty six, thereby simplifying the vari-
Gus processes tor the interchange Of
thought, and making easy and feasible
what Is now most difficult and all but
impracticable. - ~
The four characters used by Mr.. Burke
may be OF any nature whereby q distinc-
tive indifference can be shown, and stand
in their mutual relations as character No..
/, No. 3, No. and No. q, and are always
so recognized, no matter how situated in
the formation Of words. Character Nos.
/ and have respectively SIX positions,
and characters, Nos. and each Z, thus
corresponding in their aggregate with
the twenty six letters of the English al
phabet, but changeof position involves
no change Of form or mode Of. representa-
ton. For instance, when used In tele-
graphing by sound character No 81" is
represented bJ one click Of the sssounder," :
or BY what is known in telegraphy as
".n (dot); No ss2' is represented by two
such clicks or dots; No. "3" by three,
and No. 81" by four. It matters not to
what position these characters are as
signed, they are recognizable, and no
mistake is possible, since the number Of
clicks nr dnta will cOrresnnni1 exactly

that wesk men use it to bresk down
strong ones, and that the party often
does itself discredit by being forced TO
accept candidates not endorsed by the
masses. Such have been results, but
at the same time the weight Of eyi-
dence Is IN favor of the rule.
Under IT were nominated ick-
son, Van Blren, Csss, Blcbansn,
Seymour and Tilden, all of whom were
the most prominent candidates in their
time for nomina'lon. Whether it be
prudent, just now, to change front
on this poirt, is difficult to decide.
II there are to be marplots at Gin
cinnati determined to defeat the best
interests OF Democracy, then it were
best to preserve the rule, but if una
dulterated Democrats control prima-
ries throughout the country, and hssty
jobs are not imposed upon the people,
there is No danger ahead. In this
connection the STATESMAN would be
pleased to know why authoritative
steps are not being taken N Travis

sion at Galveston.

that no D mocrat can carry New York

opposed to the third term, and
they have already strongly indicated
their preference for Mr.. BAyard above

sarism will receive death blow in the

HOW THE DEMOCRACY MAY
SUCCEED OR BE DEFEATED.

The World declares most positively
that under Mr.. Tilden's lead or guild
ance reunion, harmony and good un-
derstanding among Democrats in New
York are absolutely impossible. While
the late conduct of Mr.. KAlly is re-
garded as inexcusable, that of Mr.. Til
den, says the World, during the mo-
mentous canvass of last autumn so
shocked and disgusted all fair-minded
and clear-headed Democrats, that Mr..
Tilden would be beaten at the polls in
New York to-day evenlif the, accident
from which Mr.. Kelly is now suffering
had been fatal and TsmmanY Hall
had been swallowed up by, an
earthquake" 1t is even asserted as
positively that combination between
TIlden and Kelly for t,.the spoils"
would result ina defeat of Democrats.
1t asserted that Democratic politics in
new York are as badly disorganized
under the manipulation OF, Tllden as
its Republican party has experienced
dissatisfaction at the control of Conk-
ling. The World fails to show, how
ever, why Conkling has succeeded late
ly, and why Tilden has lost ground.
The one has reached the same stage as
the old hack when it becomes Necessary
to turn him out to grass, while the
other is yet vigorous and strong, and
bold enough to create personal mag
netism that always tells. Tilden has
more cunning than Conklipg, which
counted well in days gone by, but q
man always breaks down under its
baleful influence, and this is why the
one moral coward, and the other
a dangerous but bold man.
have temporarily changed places.
Party ties have been weakened by
both these men, and when it is known
that twenty thousand "scratchers"
voted for. Robinson at the late elec-
tion, it will be seen that the Republic
can party has no reason to brag of its
late victory with Cornell. Touching
present indications in New York the
World says: "The Republican State
Convention viii within q few weeks
pronounce for Grant, aud Grant will
be the nominee Of the Republican Ma
Aonal Convention at Chicago. And
that nomination can be made the oc.
casion of an explosion IN the New
York Republican ranks. Just as the
nomination Of Mr.. Tilden certainly
would be made In the Democratic col
umn. Oa the other hand, the Demo-
cratic party purged OF selfish leader
ship can be made the nucleus OF honest
combinations which will bury Grsntlsm

The STATESMAN, like the World, thinks
Democrats had as well understand the
position ct once, and 60 into this pres
idential race more content to win with
Eastern and Western Democrats COM

feated with them thoroughly divid-

THE Two-rHIRDs RULE.


The st. Louis convention asked an
expression from the Democracy of
different states, to be given at the ap-
preaching convention, as to the pro-
prlety of retaining the two-thlrds rule
IN national conventions, and it is pre-
sumsble the executive committee may
request that these expressions be made.
Popular belief prevails that this rule
was inaugurated in 1874 to insure
the defeat of Mr.. Van Bu-
rem, but this is an error. It was
really used in the national convention
of that year by majority to defeat
Mr.. Van Buren, but 1t had been really
the rule of Democratic conventions
from the time that these popular instru-
nents for nominations we're substituted
for the congressional caucus. 1t was
the rule of the first national conven-
tion, and instead of being adopted
In 1874 Mr.. Van Buren's friends
sought to defeat its use to insure his
election, in which, however, they fall
ed. The difference arose upon the
Texas question, the mass of the party
having declared in favor Of annexa-
tion, while VLn Barren, as were the
Wings, was opposed to it. Had be
been nominated, the Democratic party
would have declined in influence
under his candidacy, and know
ing this, the msjority were not disposed
to abandon the rule to acce1e to
the wishes of bis supporters. Objec-
tions mainly urged against the rule are

team to town to remain during the day
to erjoy 60o Fahrenheit a. midday,
and to eat ICES and dnuk soda cock
tails. There is no doubt these things
are coming to pass, and then the mil
lennium will certainly follow, and
the world will be at ease, and its null
tItudes will remsin ccntented and
happy. There will then be good will
among ell pfople, ard six-shooter
will lie rusting in bsck yards, and
there will be no more rapes and
killing and such things. Everybody
will be either cool, or contented and
without a care. Let US bow before
science and honor our noble benefsc-
tors. It is told, and his name is kept
hidden in the background, that we
may love him more for his modesty,
that one gentleman has shown how
powerful engines may be constructed
so as to bring air currents from amid
clouds and cooled floating vapors, how
tie rarlfed currents that fl ,at on high
may be made to descend, and how
they may be made to spread out like
sheet over city, drawing away the
effect of the suns reflected rays and
making August couches as cool as .the
atmosphere Of March morning. AL
this gentleman wants is the aid of
Cengress-a dip into the tressury-to
put in operation what he has manufac-
tured in his massive brain. Congress
should not hesitate to grant his re-
quest. Washington may sadly need
the appliance on March 4, 1881. Then.
it is said Gen. Daniel Ruggles has pre-
sented his plan of procipitating rain
st will. His method, for which
he has secured patent, is to
send up to the cloud realm cartridges
of dynamite in skelton balloons, and to
explode them by means of time fuses,
or by means of magnetic currents
through metallic wires connecting
those balloons with the earth. The
only objection that may be urged TO
this plan of Gen. Ruggles, ls, that un-
till it is well understood, there may be
few irst-class funerals; and since
Commissioner LIE Due and General R.
will necessarily be engaged in the first
trials, they may be the first victims. A
balloon might fail to go at the right
moment, aud time fuse, as is some
times the case, might not be we'll
timed, and scier ce might thereby sut-
fer untold lcssee. Gen L Due at least, |
should be spared until he succeeds in |
tine UaiIed 8 ates iuto a
tea producing country, like China, and
until, as he proposes, sugar is as cheap
as corn meal from being produced with
the eimplest process from corn Stake.
Let Le Due be spared to his people,
that every poor child in the land may
have taffy. Gen. Ruggles' theory is
already made known, and, even though
his body were blown into a thousand
atoms, his name will live after him as
that of no other mortal.

THE INDEPENDENT VOTE AND
TIE PRESIDENCY.

The question has been asked, what
will the Democrats do to secure the
Independent vote in the next presiden-
tial election2 1t may be answered
that the Democratic party can consider
but one course, which is to plant itself
upon its everlasting principles, and
standing firm upon them invite all
llberty-loVing people of what
ever creed to unite in re-es-
tablishing systems to which tire
founders of the republic adhered, and
by which alone the purity of our
boasted forms of government may be
maintained. 1t is estimated that there
are half million of independent
voters in the U0ited States, who vote
alone upon their individual ideas of
what is right in men aud meas
ures, and 1t but remains for the party
to prove its purposes to inaugurate re-
forms, and to supplement these purpo-
ses by nominating the purest and best
men in the nation as standard bearers,
candidates whose acts alone will
give assurances of perfect faith that it
may achieve the grandest success. To
do this there mrst be the closest sdhe-
renee to honored customs and usages of
the party. To do otherwise would
only be displaying lack of self-conf-
dence, and to go outside of long tried
dates would result IN disgrace among
ourselves, and what thus might be
gained in independent voters would
certainly lead to an internal demoral,-
z4tion as fatal in its conse quences as
was the acceptance of Mr.. Greeley. It
has lately been mooted that these indie
pendent voters have expressed the hope
that the Democratic convention may
nominate Democrat for the Presiden-
cy and q moderate Republican for the
Vice Presidency. To such a course
the STATESMAN lie un4lterably opposed,
because, instead of adding strength
to the party, it would weaken 1t so eff
fectually that Grant or any other aspi-
rant would have simple "walk over"
to the White House. To gain the con-
fidence of the independent voters, or
of any other class, Democrats must
pursue most positive course, turning
neither to the right nor to the left, but
they must move forward with the same
steady, earnest zeal that signalized
their acts forty years ago. They can
gain nothing by adopting bad Republi-
can precedents, nor by accepting
expediencies in legislation resorted
to ss Radical extremes. They
must show disposition, by
acts in Congress and elsewhere, to
bring the government back to ways
that are not questionable, to vindicate
local self-goverument and to guard the
purity of the ballot-box from assaults
from any quarter. Whatever may be
done in Congress by cranky Democrats,
who fear the effect of fiat votes at
home,- the great national party in con-
vention at Cincinnati must adhere to
the doctrines that once made the party
honored and loved above all others,
and not go tinkering up secondhand
Republican acts, that the vanity of
street-corner and cross-Ioad politicians
