THE latest achievement in telephony is
the carrying on of conversation between
Cleveland and New York, distance of some
700 miles as the wires run. This has been
accomplished over the new lines of the Pos
tai Telegraph Company, which are unusu-
ally well adapted to telephone uses. Not
many months ago conversation between
places fifty miles apart was considered a
great achievement, and the years within
which the telephone has had any practical
value may be counted on few fingers.
After this, what prediction of future scien-
tific achievements can be thought rash?

In recent issue of the London Times
very gloomy view is taken of the crop pros
poets of England for the coming year. The
unusual wetuess of the winter season has
injured the fall-sown wheat and its contiuu-
ance retards all spring seeding operations.
It would be extraordinary indeed if, after
the seven lean years that have afflicted the
British farmer, an eighth year of short
crops should follow; but according to the
Times view, that seems quite a possible
event. The worst of it is that what is true
Of England is true also of the continental
grain-growing countries. The rivers of
France, Germany, Austria aud Italy have
escaped their bounds, and, except on the
uplands, the ground is everywhere saturated
TO degree that renders it impossible either
to plant the earth er Craze focks or herds.
If this condition of affairs lasts few weeks
longer the United States will have to per
form the pleasant and profitable task of feed
ing the millions of Europe, as they have
done before in similar emergencies.

Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, is a
plain spoken statesman. He hit the nail
squarely on the head when he told his
honorable associates, who are working
with all the zeal of paid attorneys forpar-
ticular protected interests, that there was
''honor among thieves"
Prop up the cause of my client and l
will support that of yours" is the hint of
these Senatorial attorneys to each other.
In the wrangle which ensues, the cause
of the people fares badly in the man, for
its honest advocates are few.
The people have spoken, and their de-
mands are well understood, butt appears
that they must take radical measures to
have their wishes complied with. The
''barons'' must be made to know that the
day of snap judgments Is past. The
cause of monopoly is opposed to every
principle of equity, and when advocated
reliance is placed on fraud and chicanery
to carry it through.
The Senate is supposed to represent the
people and not special interests. 1t Is
time the body had made manifest its com
prehension of its duties. 1t has no right
discussing the tariff at all until tariff
measure shall have been sent over to il
from the House.

A good many causes are combined to
force an extra session of Congress to give
the people the reliefs they reasonably de-
mand. The President has said, and it is
all he has chosen to say, that when the
time comes he will make up his mind.
But the outlook is that a Republican EN-
ecutive will be compelled to call together
a Democratic Congress to do the duty
which a Republican Congress was vicious

day morning, threatened to hinder the
execution of the programme set for the
second day of the Sesqui-Centennial, but
ere long the dOwnpOur ceased, and
the managers IF the display set about its
execution.
The magnitude and significance of the
display was in keeping with the capacity
and intelligence Of its promoters. The
long line of floats presented many striking
and elegant features, and graphically
presented the commercial and industrial
importance of the metropolis of Georgia.
Other cities might have produced far
larger representation of this character,
but none could have surpassed that of
Savannah's business men. typifying, as it
did, their peculiar lines of business.
The thousands who viewed the trades
display were delighted with its extent
and artistic features, and our intelligent
visitors were forcibly impressed with Sa-
vannah's resources and energy.
With the execution of yesterdays pro-
gramme the Sesqui-Centennial exercises
