PENNSYLVANIA INDEPEND ENTs

What the result of the Independent
Republican split in Pennsylvania will
be cannot well be foretold. It may
be, to quote the language of the
Philadelphia Press, either a riot or
a revolution"
The Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania has been bossed and dominated
and controlled to such an extent that
there is little question of the wide
spread dissatisfaction of the rank and
file of the party with the existing
state of affairs The machine has
ruled in a manner so harsh and re-
lentless that the honest sympathies
and support of the people has be-
come alienated from it. For years
this has been the case. The will of
master was substituted for the will
of the people. Protest after protest
had been made within the party ranks,
and each in it's turn went UNDECIDED.
Last year Charles S. Wolfe, the best
and the bravest of the Independents,
announced himself as an Independent
candidate for State Treasurer, and
polled fifty thousand votes. This was
the first respectable protest outside of
the party lines, and it compelled re-
spectful hearing.
This year peace conference be-
tween the kckers and the regulars
was held. Everything the former
asked the latter granted, and at the
Harrisburg convention lived up to
and discharged each of the promises
made. Two Independents were put
upon the ticket. The peace confer
ence platform was adopted as the
platform Of the party, and the nomi-
nees of the convention, from the can
didate for Governor down, pledged
themselves to its support.
Everybody thought that SO much
had been conceded to the malcontents
that there was really nothing left this
year to kick about that they would
pull tremendously in the traces and
help elect the ticket they had helped
to make. Instead of that, they forth
with proceed to smash things right
and left
Whether it will be "a riot or revo-
tuition" remains to be seen, but the
signs are that it will only be riot.
It is good many weeks between
now and November. Independent
talk is not Independent votes. The
regular ticket is able, honorable, un-
assailable. Republicans who do the
voting and not the talking will see no
valid reason for it's defeat. Move
ments like that in Pennsylvania
usually start with good deal Of
enthusiasm, which generally cools of
before election time. They claim
and expect, great deal, and gen
orally realize very little. It was SC
with the Greeley movement. In the
Summer OF ~, even regular Repub
ican leaders were willing to concedt
his election. In November he was
the worst beaten candidate for half {
century.
The Independent movement il
Pennsylvania starts in the same man
ner. There is little reason to believ,

guage, and, every one knows, the occu-
patton they preferred is already overrun
with smarter men than they. There
was really no room and no opportunity
in this country for such emigrants as
they. Some of them soon found this out
and hastened to return home, preferring
their shiftlessness there, even with its
hardships and cheap living, to better liv-
ing and more comfort here brought by
hard work. Others, however, have clung
to the skirts of the American aid societies
and have been practically paupers, until
even their own people have become tired
of them. Now no more are to come and

Russian Hebrew Emigrants.

The emigration of prosecuted Jews
from Russia into this country is to cease,
convention of the European and Amer
lean Aid Societies that have been assist
ing the refugees having decided to aban-
don the work. Various reasons are as
signed for this decision, but the truth
seems to be that the American Hebrews
have tired of the work thrust upon them
by the foreign societies and of the class
of emigrants sent hither. In fact, on
the last mentioned account the exodus
from Russia to this country has proved,
from its inception, lamentable failure.
The emigrants who were sent here were
found to be most undesirable class, and
with their heads filled with the most alb
surd ideas in regard to the United States.
From the first to the last they were
burden and an expense to the commit
and the more that was done for them,
the more they demanded. They were
either unable or unwilling, perhaps both,
to adapt themselves to their new sur
roundings, and seemed to think that they
had been sent over here to subsist upon
charity. Much perhaps should be ex-
cused to them on account of their former
training. The most of them scarcely
ever knew what hard work was. They
had been largely shopkeepers, peddlers,
trafickers of various kinds and workmen
in subordinate positions. Life in Russia
had been easy to them because it was
shiftless; little work was required to en-
able them to exist in the manner natural
to themselves and to their forefathers for
generations. In this country, however,
brought into collision with new methods
of living, with an enterprise and activity
even in the laboring population such as
they had never before dreamed of, they
could not accommodate themselves to
the situation. They would not become
colonists in the far West, because they
had always been in the habit of congre-
eating in cities and towns, and looked
upon settlement on the frontier much
as in Russia they would have looked
upon exile to Siberia. They would not
become laborers, because in that occupa-
ton, as also in farming, they would have
to do more work in one month than they
had ever before done in an entire year.
They would willingly become shopkeep-
ers and peddlers, but even then they
could not readily sink their Russian
habits Of business and adopt those of this
country; they were ignorant of the Ian

Then gymnasiums and museums are
well patronized. 1t is a rare thing to
find Saxon youngster who cannot per-
form on the horizontal bar, on the
rings, or on the flying trapeze, feats
that would be creditable to a profes-
sional athlete. The boys are generally
well developed, muscular and agile,
and good health seems to take a fancy
to them.
In disposition they are as amiable as
girls-more amiable than some girls.
Their manners are pleasing. They are
polite and accommodating. They do
not swear, "chaw." nor smoke. Fist
fighting is not to their liking, and vul-
garity is unknown among them. They
are sedate, quiet, peaceable and good
natured at all times, while in the pres
ence of their elders they observe with
astonishing precision and wonderful
Judgment the laws and regulations laid
down for their guidance at home and in
the schools.
The work which the small boy is
called upon to do in America is done
here generally by girls or full grown
men. There are no telegraph boys. All
dispatches are delivered by men in uni
form. There are no cash-boys, girls
generally filling such positions. Boys
are not called upon torun errands for the
public. Able-bodied men in uniform,
large enough to be trusted with valua-
BILE packages, stand at every corner and
are ready to come at your beck or call.
The newspapers are carried and sold
by men. There are no news-boyS. No
idle boys are seen on the streets. When
they are not at school they are learning
a trade, and after business hours they
generally betake themselves to some
place where they can exercise them
selves, or they study their lessons SO as
to be prepared for the early morning
class.
There are no street Arabs in any of
the German cities-no ragged urchins,
no Artful Dodgers, and no "wipe-nip-
pers." There are no sooty faced, bias
phemous boot-blacks. In word, the
American small boy, of high or low de-
gree, would find his occupation gone,
whatever it might be, if he emigrated
to Germany. He would pine away and
die of broken heart-Cor. Chicago

Cost Of Scotch Shooting .Gr0unds.

An Intending Offerer" must decide
first on the rent he proposes to pay; next
what kinds of game he wants to shoot;
whether he desires to fish, and if 50,
salmon or trout, or both; then as to the
accommodation he will require at the
lodge. Rents vary from H10O to 5000.
Small places will afford plenty of amuse-
ment, and, even if the bag Is not large
there are the pleasures and benefit of an
entire change of air, scene, and mode of
life. But nothing can be gotten under
f4OO if plenty of sport is desired; and to
the rental must be added the wages Of
keepers and collies. If both deer and
grouse are necessary, a rental of at
least 81, 900 pounds will have to be paid.
Black Mound Forest, in Argyleshire,
which is leased by Lord Dudley from
Lord Breadalbane, extends over $4,000
acres, and affords every description of
shooting and excellent loch fishing. It
is offered at f3, 800 pounds. Balmacaan,
Lord Seaield's forest, in 1nverness-shire,
has been let to Sir Henry Allsopp (who
rented Black Mount last season. at
f3,60O. 1t extends over $4,000 acres.
Moy (Sir John Ramsden's), on the shore
of Loch Laggan, is let at f4OO, with
5000 acres of moor, last years bag being
about 1S0 brace of grouse; but the lodge
here is exceptionally good, and the fish
ing is capital. Lord Middleton's forest
of Applecross, in Ross-shire, which ex-
tends over nearly 10000 acres, is let at
500. The six great sporting counties
of Scotland contain over 100000 acres
of shooting ground. The shooting
rentals of Inverness and Perth are each
larger than was paid for the whole coun-
try at the commencement of the present
century. Sir John Ramsden receives
nearly f6, 900 pounds for his Badenoch
shootings, retaining the great forest Of
Adverikie in his own hands. Sir G.
Macpherson-G Grant receives f5,8O0 for
three forests in the same district, and
Lord Seafield's rental exceeds f12,OOO.
The principal. .shootings in Forfar belong
to Lords Dalhousie and Airlie; the sport
ing rental of the former exceeds 5000
pounds, and he keeps large extent of
the ground in his own hands. Perhaps
the finest call around" sport in the coun-
try is obtained in the island of Arran,
which belongs to the Duke of Hamilton;
and is vast game preserve. Shootings
are usually let for four months, from the
middle of July, but sport on the grouse
moor ceases, as a rule, early in Septem-
Der, and, although the season lasts till
December 10, it is rarely that lodge is
inhabited after the beginning of Octo-
Der.
The prospects of the grouse harvest
seem to be tolerably favorable in most
districts, and almost everywhere there are
excellent accounts of the deer. The old
calculation that each brace of grouse
costs tenant sovereign is perhaps now
rather below the mark, and the reckon
ing of so pounds for each stag is certain
ly not too high.-PaH Mall Gazette.

Land Signals.

Chronosemic signals furnish one of
the most important and interesting in
ventions of semiologists. The system is
due to the studies and researches of an
attache of the Navy Department, and
has been adopted in that branch of the
Government. The signals depend upon
their meaning by the intervals of time
A space of one second of time taken be-
tween two signals means one; two Sec
onds of time, 2; and so on up to 9.
On the plains, where outfits and bunt-
ing are not easy of access, other methods
have to be adopted in order to communi-
cate at "long range" This is done by
puffs of smoke by day and flashes of pow
der by night. The Indians are said to
build fires in holes and confne the dense
smoke therein by spreading a blanket,
which is removed at will to make dis
tinct pufs.
The signal corps telescopes are espe-
cially adapted for the service They are
about thirty powers, have a focal length
of twenty-six inches, and are bron1ed
black that there may be no glitter to at
tract the attention of sharp-shooters.
They are never allowed to fall into the
hands of the enemy, and if an officer isin
danger of capture and there is no oppor-
tunity for concealment the telescope
glasses must be shattered or rendered
worthless in some other way.
The heliograph, or sun telegraph, is an
instrument for transmitting messages by
sun flashes. The system has been long
known, and the American Indians in
their warfare have used for many years
hand glasses by which to make sun
flashes. An English officer in the Ord
nance Department, is said to have used
the heliograph successfully over a dis
tance of ninety miles. They were
largely used in the India campaign, also
in the Zulu war. 1t consists of mirror
on light stand, with adjustments to re-
volve and incline it, that the suns rays
may be reflected with precision in any
direction. On clear day and with .
favorable atmosphere, the heliograph can
be used to advantage, but in cloudy or
overcast weather the system is rendered
seless.-B0st0n Globe.
