In regard to the proposed new deal in time
keeping, the 'Twenty-four 0'clockn system,
as it is called, a writer who has been puZzl-
ing over the connumdrum thinks it will
seem odd for people to be down town until
seventeen or eighteen o'clock at night. and
yet this is evidently what we are coming to.
The Meridian Conference which met at
Washington has recommended the adoption
of what is popularity termed the twenty-four
O'Clock system Standard time was adopted
with little hesitation, and no doubt the
twenty four O'Clock system viii shortly be
sdopted too. 1t will be great convenience
in railway time tables, but it will take some
time to become used to it, The present sys-
tenn Of a. IN, aud p. M, is apt TO be mis-
leading, the same numeral or numerals hay-
ing to do duty twice in the same day. IN
der the proposed plan there would be only
one twelve O'Clock in the day, instead of two
as one of them would become twenty-four
O'Clock. People would have TO think twice
when they were told 10 be at home at half
past nineteen O'Clock or a quarter to twenty
one, and no little mental calculation would
have to be carried on before the thing would

to be changed and a row Of figures put round
the inside of the present row on the dials,
giving the hours from twelve O'Clock TO twen-
four This is. in substance, what the adyo-
Gates Of the twenty-four O'Clock system have
to say for it.
Nothing can be more ridiculous and need
less than this proposed change in computing
time. II is said the change is to be made
for the convenience Of railways. II this be
the fact, the question is pertinent, do rail-
ways, at last, own the earth, and possess
power TO reYoutionize the social and econ
omie habits and systems of. the world, aud
mudeie and mix up the people by changing
the present Well constructed and convenient
mode OF computing days time of twenty
four hours, for the especial, alleged conven-
fence OF railway train dispatches.
Tae assumption is preposterous and un-
necessary. BY what right power, or author
ity is this proposed change in the computa-
ton of time 10 be madei Are the railways
simply to issue their ukase, and are the
people abjocs serfs that they should unresis-
ungly obey their bchestss The proposal in

PYrHAGoREAN PHTLos9PHF.

Metempsychosis or the theory of the trans
migration of souls, at death, from the hui
man body into some other animal body, is in
substance the doctrine of Pythagoras, the
old Italian philosopher, who existed before
Christ His system Of philosophy asserted
that the souls of men are moving numbers,
light PARTICLES from the universal soul, capa-
BILE Of combining with any body and destin-
ed to pass successfully through several.
With this theory of metempsychosis he COM
bined the doctrine of moral retribution. His
fundamental doctrine was, that the essences
of all things rest upon numerical relations;
that mum bers are the principle Of all that ex-
lists; and that the world subsists by the rhyth-
mical order of the different elements. Moral
good was identified with unity, evil with
multiplicity, virtue was the harmony of the
soul and its similitude to God.
These with many other fanciful ideas
formed his system of philosophy. 1t is curl
Gus TO note that the crude visions of the old
philosophers often seize upon the brain of
modern theorists who adopt them, and en-
deavor to prove their validity. Such. theor-
lists, however, find but little encouragement
in the enlightenment of the nineteenth cen
l ry, and yet, occasionally a modern vision
airy will travel back into the darkness that
existed prior TO the Christian Era, and en-
deavor To evolve from the old, fanciful, but
benighted philosophers, dogmas of alleged
validity. Not many years since an oriho-
dox clergymen Of some eminence put forth
a volume to prove the Pythagorean doctrine
of the transmigration of souls, and contended
that the souls of men had lived in previous
state Of being.
The book was designed 10 be very philo-
sophical, and to carry conviction by its pro-
fundity, but it really proved to be profound
to the extent of unintelligibility and incom-
prehensibility in so much that the reader
was often in doubt whether the writer fully
comprehended what he meant himself The
book fell still-born from the press, and the
distinguished divine still lives TO reflect upon
his abortive authorship. This book made a
momentary excitement in the churches, but
has long since passed into oblivion. The
author wrecked his reputation for enlighten-
ed reliability, if not for sanity, by adapting
the childish dogmas Of an old heather philo-
sopher, and endeavoring to engraft them in
to the Christian system.

few days ago the GLOBE combatted the
erroneous idea that all impurities are expel-
led from water by converting the same into
Ice by the process Of freezing, The Phila-
deiphia Press has startling exposure in re-
gard to the impurity OF schuynll river ice.
The Press says:
Not content with discovering many species Of
ugly animalcule in our drinking water the sci
entists propose 10 fan the opposition against 81.
John 10 fercer heat by asserting that even the
Ice with which the Schuylkil wster is cooled for
drinking swarms with disagreesble worms. At
the last meeting Of the Academy OF Natural
Sciences the president, Dr. Joseph Leidy. stated
that member had recently gwen 10 him for
examination vial OF water obtained by melting
ice used for cooling drinking water. The mem
Der who submitted the wal bad noticed living
worms in the sediment OF a water cooler, but had
supposed that they were contained IA the water.
Upon melting some OF the ice, however. the
worms are still observed. These worms. which
are from four 10 six miimetres long and color
lees, belong to the same family as the common
earth worms-ihe lumbricids. Their bodies
have thirty segments bearing spines. Besides
this cheerful discovery, Prof. Leidy found in the
vial several dead worms with large ciliated in
fusorisns. vegetable hairs and other debris. IL
has been supposed that ice was free from the
impurities Of the water upon whose surface IL
was frozen, but this discovery IS against the
theory.

DISHONEST kETS.

The Pioneer Press yesterday morning pub
lished telegram from New York alleging
that Manning, chairman of the Democratic
state central committee of New York, had
played his ''trump card,'' said card being
that he had held back the returns from Al
bany county, and now sent them in with
5000 plurality for Cleveland.
The GLOBE received the same telegram, it
having been forwarded from Chicago with
credit to the Evening Meas of that city,
it being "special'' in its col
umns. The statement looked false
on its face and the GLOBE accordingly tele-
graphed its correspondent in New York for
information and within two hours received
reply that it was bogus story which had
been published by the Morning Journal. The
GLOBE accordingly omitted the telegram.
The p. p, instead Of taking the trouble to
ascertain the authenticity of the alleged
newE, printed the bogus telegram and in
dulgeG in half column of editorial swash,
breathing fire and birthstone on Manning
because The returns had been withheld.
That is u sample Of the Republican style Of
news.

4 1rERITED TRTRrrE.

The New York Times, the chief Republican
paper of the city Of New York, and the ablest
Republican paper Of the country, on the
nomination of James G. Blaine by the Re
publicans in June, refused to support him
for the plain and simple reason that It did
not consider him an honest man. When
Grover Cleveland was nomiL ated at Chicago
in July the Times conferred upon him its
hearty support for the reason that It knew
him to be an honest, incorruptible, patriotic
man. In the issue of the Times OF November
4, descanting upon the character and deport-
ment Of Grover Cleveland, that paper most
justly and appropriately said of him:
''When Grover Cleveland was nominated we
commended him to the independent voters OF
the Republican party as having every qualihoa-
ton for the Presidency, which James g. Blaine
lacked. The searching criticism of the last
four months has confirmed that Judgment. Mr.
Cleveland has steadily gained in the esteem Of
those who have examined imparually the facts OF
his public career. Throughout this trying
period he has borne himself with manliness and
dignity and self-respect Whatever may be the
result Of The election, he can regard IL with
equanimity. The shame OF the Office begga-,
the remOrse OF the intriguer and corruptionist,
the humiliation OF the falsifer can never be his.
Whether he be the President of the United
States, or the Governor OF the state of New York,
or the private citizen, he can have the proud
consciousness OF having observed simply and
honoraby the highest requirements OF the posi-
ton in which he has been placed. b"

NJ. C. A. Service Yesterday.

Every seat, and even the tables and stand
ing room, was occupied yesterday after noon
at the o'clock song service of the Y. NJ. G.
A. The meeting was conducted by the gen.
eral secretary, assisted by Mr.. Nathan Ford.
Much interest was manifested, and seven or
eight persons rose for prayer. A one-half
hour prayer meeting will be held every day
this week at the rooms opposite the postofice
from ~ to 1890 noon, for young men and
business men generally.
This is the week of prayer for young men
and Y. NJ. q. AS. throughout the entire
world, and is universally observed. The
meetings win be short, prompt and business
men and pastors. Stenography and pen
manship classes tonight at 1880. New and
larger quarters are a crying necessity both
for classes and meetings, as the general
secretary has had 10 ask the privilege from
DIR. Griswold and Attorney Hill of holding
several classes in their Office, which has been
courteously granted.

THE REFORM CLUB.

Rev. W. W. Sahertee addresses a Large
Gathering Of The FOLLOWERS of 81. John.
A crowded house greeted Rev. Mr. satter-
lee at the Reform club meeting yesterday af-
ternoon, who read portion of the thirtieth
chapter of Isaiah and commented on the
same. A wonderfully analogy was
between the tendencies of the times spoken
Of by the prophet and corruptions which
ruined the Israelitish nation and those which
surrounded the Republican party in its down
fall.
The speaker felt the pressure of mighty
responsibility resting upon him and the re-
form party. The cause was spreading
on like chariot of fire and would
continue to advance in spite of all seeming
reverses. What was in the future no one
could predict 70 certainty, but God had a
great destiny for America, and would bring
success to the advocates of right and purity.
People we're apt to talk very superficial Of
great questions. The victory may be near or
far away, but God has commenced a work
that must succeed. We have been
fighting for position so as to
overlook the field of carnage and we have it,
but in this fight we must remember that the
foe is willy. History repeats itself. AS
Lovejoy, the great apostle of anti-savery,
was murdered at the hands of a mob az
Alton for his principles, so st. John had
been burned in efigy by the
advocates Of the liquor traffic and we
must look for these things. The Republican
party had been wonderfully hon
ored by the people, but tire
liquor idol had ruined the party. Little
things in politics determine great events.
Henry Clay had lost the presidency in 1874
by free soil vote of seven thousand. If he
had gained even two thousand votes in New
York his election would have been assured.
So the plumed knight had lost the presidency
through the candidacy of st. John.
In the former case seven thousand en- rose
up and demanded freedom m for the
African slave, and 1t caused revolution, In
the latter two hundred thousand men had
stood up and demanded protection to home
circles. Garfield was elected By about nine
hundred popular majority, while Abe Lin.
coin only received one in three. Tilden Ie.
ceived $50, 900 more than HAYES, and was
counted out on account Of loosinR
Florida, and yet had be received twenty
eight more votes in that state no electoral
commission would have been necessary.
Joshua r. Geddings was elected United
States senator through the stubbornness OK
I one man, SO from these things we ought 70
take courage. No one need have any fears
for the future of the country, on the account
Of Cleveland's election SHOULD that prove
true), for the senate is Republican, and as 70
free trade, nothing of the kind
could be passed while Samuel j. Randall
stood at the head Of the Pennsylvania dele
/ cation.
The members were advised to go to work
quietly for the cause IN earnest, not spend
ing time quarreiingwi disappointed neigh
bors, for troubles would necessarily come,
but time would correct al wrong.

FRAUD BAFFLED.

In the present Congress the Democrats
have a majority OF hfty seven, and in the
new Congress viii have : majority Of forty
six, the Democrats having elected 1s5 mem
bers and the Republicans 139. Should It be
possible for the political bandits OF Blaine's
party 70 succeed in stealing the electoral
vote Of a state, which it is not here admitted
that they viii be able 10 do, then the question
Of deciding the result would come before the
House Of Congress- In twenty-three states
the Democrats control and in fourteen the
Republicans, with one state, Florida, divided
Under the constitution OF the United States
each state has one vote upon
the question, and two presidents ex-
list OF the election Of the President b. the
House, that Of Thomas jefferson in 1901,
and John Quincy Adams in 1925. II BY Re
publican fraud the election be thrown into
the House, Grover Cleveland would be
elected by the votes Of the following states:
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nevada, New York, North Caro-
lima, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas,
Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, twenty
three states with tventy-three votes: against
this Blaine would have the support Of four
teen states with fourteen votes, Florida not
voting.
The Senate would pass on the Vice Presi-
dent, and being Repu blicaD BY four
majority, including Malone and Heidelberg,
would in all probability elect John A.
Logan.
Under this state Of facts the Republicans
cannot, by the remOtest possibility or the
most glaring fraud, put James G. Blaine
into the Presidency. The most that could
happen in the contingency mentioned
would be to give the Vice Presidency 10
Logan.
But the contingency viii not arise, for
Blaine win not steal the state OF
New York. He himself has said
ANY party in the United States can bear to
be defeated, but No party can bear TO be de-
frauded." The country is fully alive and
sensitive upon the infamous fraud of 1876.
Mr.. Blaine as well as any man, and better
than most, knows how the Democracy were
defrauded then, and he knows the crime
cannot be repeated. Rascal and desperate
as be is, he will not dare to attempt 10 usurp
the Office through the frauds Of Jim Warren,
Star Route Elkins, or any combination Of
men. The electoral vote Of New York be-
longs TO the Democratic party and they have
bestowed II upon Grover Cleveland.
Grover Cleveland, the president elect,
speaking to the country and his party. says:
81 boliete hare ben elected President, asd
nothing b1rt ne gTOSssst frauds kep ne out Of
Il, aud that ioe lriu not peTnsd.'
In that pregnant sentence the President
elect, the head Of the Democratic party, pre-
sents the key TO the future peace and pros
perity Of the country, and the Democratic
party will hold up his hands in preventing
the triumph Of fraud, no matter whatsoever
may be the extremity that can arise. Gov
ernor Cleveland is elected and the vote OF
New York will not be stolen.
