The Democratic Clans Gathering.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The gathering OF
the delegates to the Democratic National
Convention goes on but slowly A mum
ber from distant points and one solid
delegation, that OF California, are here,
but as yet things in the local political
world are comparatively quiet. The
subcommittee ON arrangements, of the
National Committee, have been hard at
work here for the past week, but 50 far
their labors have been all in the direc
tiou of arranging and perfecting the in.
Vulnerable details OF the convention.
The changes in the hall are all but COM
pleted and it is expected that the thea
ter chairs for the delegates, and other
seats, will go in position tonight, 1t
has been decided to light the
hall with electricity, which will
not only illuminate the building
better, but also insure much cooler at
mosphere. w. H. Barnum, Chairman
OF the National Committee, did not ar
rive to-day, MS expected, but will be
here in the morning,
Among the passengers on the New
York limited express, which came to-
day, was ID. j. Manning, Chairman OF
New York State Committee, accom-.
panied by Edward Cooper and dozen
other Empire State Democrats, among
whom are two delegates. Mr.. Manning
said he did not 90 ae here with music
and buster to nominate Cleveland but
he came RS II Democrat who be.
lieved that tbs best interests of the party
would be subsrrv,d by NJ. Cleveltnd's
nomination. According to Mr.. Man
nings calculations Cleveland will have
IS minority in the New York delegation
An important caucus Of the New York
delegation will be held here on Saturday
night, at which Cleveland's strength will
be actually determined. Referring to
this proposed meeting, Mr.. Manning
said; owe don't propose to hold this
caucus unless all the delegates are pres
ent, We have no desire to take snap
Judgment Mr.. Flower has members of
the delegation who will work to have
him nominated. We have no objection
to that; MIR. Flower is good man, but
we do not think he has as fair show of
carrying New York as Mr.. Cleveland
has.
The California delegation brought
word that from fifteen to twenty promi-
nent California Democrats would be here
Saturday. They will open elaborate
headquarters aud work in the interest of
Justice Field. The California delegates
themselves, however, have announced
that they will inaugurate campaign
against Mr. Field Their efforts will be
gwen to secure the nomination of Tlden,
in spite of his letter, but II that should
prove impossible, they will work and
vote M a unit for Thurman.

The New Time Standard.

EDITOR HERALD While dissent
ing in entirety from the argument
and deductions in your article
of Saturday last, headed "Tinkering
Time, venture to call your readers at
tentioH to most extraordinary compli-
cation which, to my knowledge, has
actually resulted from the adoption of
this new method of reckoning time.
In the suburbs of Connecticut city,
farmer insured his barn and contents
against loss by fire with an Insurance
company, which we will call a." for one
year from noon, on the 25th OF Novem-
ber, 1882, to noon, same date, 1883. As
the time of expiration drew near he was
persuaded by another company "B." to
accept their policy in lieu of renewal
of his insurance in "a" The new stand.
ard Of time had meantime been adopted
all over Connecticut
The insured barn was totally destroy.
ed by fire, which was proved to have
originated at ll;52 A. NJ, new standard
time-the alarm reaching all the fire de
partment quarters before l:55. But,
the insurers contract with company
"a" was made under the old method of
computing time; and, by that system,
the equivalent of II :52 A. M, new time,
was proven to be 1907 p. Nj, old
time. Hence, insurance company
"a claimed exemption from liability
under their policy Of insurance, as the
one years indemnity hereunder had
expired.
The unfortunate insurer accordingly
was forced to look to "B" for indemniti-
cation; but, as the fire started at 80
A. NJ. Tor before their insurance policy
came into effect he had no valid or legal
claim against them.
The case is being watched by Eastern
insurance men with much interest, and
may be novelty to our underwriters
here. There is certainly no legal re-
sponsibility attaching to Company ''B;"
and there is none as against Company
"a, unless tie court rules that the fact
of LAS" non.dissent to the act of the
individual who regulated its office clocks
in changing their intimation of time to
the new standard is to be construed into
tacit consent OF the company that all its
policies in the district in which the fire
occurred have been extended about 20
minutes beyond the one years insurance
originally granted.

Rome's Musical Critic.

While Rome was yet burning, and
Lucullus Pennarum, the editor of the
Daily QujritdR, was employing every
means to catch the early mails, Titus
Quibblerius, the musical critic, arrived
in hot haste.
"What news from the fire? eagerly
inquired the enterprising Roman jour.
nalist; "have the Diocletian baths sue.
cumbed to the devouring flames ?"
"0f that have no information, re-
piled Titus Quibblerius, the musical
critic; "but | have here two.eolumn

A Crystal Mine.

There has been found from time to
time, on the great Santa Margarita
rancho, in San Diego county, a small
specimen of crystal or "pebble stone. :"
as it is sometimes called. Now comes
man who says that in the interior he
has discovered a vast deposit of this
m ost valuable material, which is the
purest form of crystalized quartz, from
which eyeglasses and lenses for opera
glasses, microscopes and telescopes are
made. This man brought to the city
sample OF pure crystal, about eight
inches in diameter, from which a large
specimen was obtained for the HERALD
office. The specimen is equal to the
best Brazilian pebble, and cuts even
glass like diamond. 1t can be manu-.
faetured int personal ornaments and
articles Of use for the table, and carries
the flash OF the diamond in its transpar-
ent substance. II this deposit is what it is
represented to be. it will add millions to
the wealth of the country. Truly South

The latest Republican thieves diseoy.
cred In Washington are Morgan and
Burnside. The iormsrvery happily for
himself, Is ds&d. The latter still lives
lie Issoft the proceeds of sales Of waste
Paper, carpets. mating, furniture. and
other government property of which he
had the control as custodian, clearing
S71. 900 at least The returns Of his
operations are not all in. When the
stealing Of between $4,000 aud $50, 900
In cash was discovered there was no sus.
picion OF other stealings. A prominent
official says that Burnside was under the
same regulations for insuring accounta-
bility aud honesty ns all the others, and
that there 10 no greater certainty under
the law md regulations as 10 others than
there was as to him. None Of tho rob
berries and frauds now coming to light,
except perhaps, in the case of Morgan
OF the State Department, whose death
made an examination necessary, were
discovered through inside vigilance, but
purely through accidental circumstances
on the outside. Senator lIale's proposal
looking TO an inquiry into frauds in the
departments is well enough if il doesn't
mean the smothering OF facts. The
Meline investigation of the treasury
frauds was suppressed, aud the snbse-
quent one by Senate Committee care
fully abstained from going into deep
water. Exposure, not suppression, is
needed

THE Boston Adrsrtiser OF a late date
contains a very elaborate letter giving
an inner history of the modWs operaadi
by which Blaine and his friends captured
the late Republican National Conven-
tion. In all previous struggles of the
Planned Knight he was represented by
men OF national reputation and standing
Senators Frye and Hale being his more
conspicuous fuglemen. The descent to
Powell Clayton and Steve Elkins, with
all the disgusting details Of the lowest
order Of machine management, are
minutely described by the AdUertiser' 5
correspondent. The average Republi-
can voter is keenly alive to the change
from bad 10 worse which has been chron
icled in the national councils OF hls
