BLAINE'S BOOK.

Mr.. BLAINE at last recognizes that he is
beaten, and bows as gracefully as is to be
expected to the verdict of the American
people. We are told that he means to
spend the winter in Washington, where he
will resume work upon the second volume
of his Twenty Years of Congress" so sad
ly interrupted BY less 'ortunste labors. 1t
is too late, we fear, for profitable labor even
in this direction. A probable President Is
a much more interesting parsonage than a
defeated candidate BLAINE made Sc, 900
out Of the first volume Of his work, for a
year ago people were willing to buy his book
because of what he might become. Now
they are likely to turn their backs apon him,
for nobody cares to bow before a star
eclipsed or worship the setting sun.

PROGRESS OF ELECTRICAL SCIENCE

PROGRESS OF ELECTRICAL SCIENCE.
Aningenious Frenchman has developed
theory which he describes as an artificial
sun. With the ordinary run Of mankind,
the natural luminary which has sufficed
through millions of cycles is deemed sufi-
cient. But not so with the speculative
Gaul The impelling motives to this
unique discovery was the belief tina! in
Paris there should never be night. Twelve
hours of daylight is too short space to look
upon its wonders and shares in its delights.
Besides, as the gay world which seethes
and bubbles in that beautiful city is ordin-
arily disposed to turn night into day, sun
ought to be provided for it. The theory, as
all the theories do nowadays, turn upon au
imaginary advent of great American
electrician. He assumes that this Ameri-
can is possessed Of great ingenuity and will
suggest to the Parisians an artificial sun
In the great open space before the Cathedral
Of Notre Dame he will proceed to erect an
iron tubular tower-'evcr so high; higher
than the steeple OF St. Paul-about mile
above the domes Of the tallest houses. This
done, he will surmount it with series Of
gigantic carbon points which will be kept
aglow by a ponderous primary battery
placed at its foot and consisting OF, say,
1000 elements. Over this binding ball o.!
light there will be reflector, nickel-Ptated
and something like quarter OF q mile in
circumference which shall throw the light
over the grand city This, then is the pro-
iected wonder of the future The French
man mind has discovered the theory and
the practical genius of the American will
carry it into effect. The artificial planet
will revelye in no orbit, but remain like a
fixed star, diffusing its light over the mill
ions of people who bask beneath its beams.
1t is sad to reflect, however that in case Of
the complete fulfllment of this Partisan
dream, gas stocks will suffer greatly. But
a compromising benefit is derived in the
reflection that the Lutetian race, constant.
ly bathed in living light, will have acquired
force, beauty and energy worthy Of the
Homeric age

nnxoR DISTRESS.

Later reports from the Cumberland
mountain counties Of Virginia appear to
confirm the worst accounts Of the disease
and distress prevalent there. The picture
presented is sad one. For four months
previous to the 18th inst. no rain had fallen
in the mountains, and the prolonged drought
has been attended with the most terrible
consequences. In the most prosperous
seasons the inhabitants ofthe region referred
10 have hard time Of il, the scsnty and
unproductiys soil bringing forth but indif-
ferent crops, while the almost total absence
of Transportation facilities make prices low
and money scarce Under these conditions
the people early felt the effects Of the abb
sence ofrain. Crops we're either total fall
ures, or were so scarty as to hardly repay
the labor Of gathering them wells and
springs which had hitherto furnished an
unfailing supply Of water tailed; next the
brooks and creeks ran dry; domestic AMI
mails began to perish. and finally the Peo-
pie themselves, compelled for weeks to live
on scsnty rations Of uuwholesome food aud
stsguant or poisonous water, began to die,
first by twos and threes, but later, as the
drought continued, by dozens and scores.
How many have thus persisted is not yet
known, but if reports sent out be not ex-
aggerated the total number must Do nearly
or quite FIVE hundred large percentage
of the total population. Isolated from the
world as these people are, their suferings
have been unknown to the country, but now
that their cry of distress has been heard it is
to be hoped the public will promptly re-
spoud with money, medicines and food.
Already move has been made in this
direction. The delegates to the Cattle
Growers Convention, now in session at st.
Louis, on hearing Of the distress. at once
subscribed and forwarded twelve hundred
dollars, and we hope to see their generosity
promptly initiated throughout the country.

Nar,oSAL psnrs.

The great English statistic'sn, Professor
MuLuALL,i is presenting some startling figures
upon the subject of national debts aud the
rapid way in which they are increasing.
Although the national debt Of the United
States is having a contrary tendency, the
subject is not without great political inter
est. The events which have contributed to
these gigantic accumulations of the world 6
promises to pay have marked not oaly great
national commissions but great Undesirable,
yeIopments. Revolutions have burned over
continents, and in our own country We have
seen internal conflict threaten to shatter
the national union. Happily for us, how
ever, we have restored whatwe pulled down.
In 1913, says Mr.. MULHALL, the national
debts Of the world an ounted to only s., 245,,
100000; in 1870. to sl9, l5O,O0O,OOO, while
to-day they reach s27, l55,OOO,OOO. This
increase has been progressive, growing
greater every year. Upto the time Of the
French revolution the world added oRly
$3O,OOO0OO annually to its Indebtedness
From that time to the battle Of Waterloo
the annual increase wal. $500, 900, 900; to
1913, $500, 0OO,O 900, while at the present
day it is $685., 900, 900, so that by the year
1900 we will owe $35,OOO,O 900, 900. The
great bulk of this sum has been expended
for war In the past thirty years this In
debtedness has has increased s., 365, 600, 600
on account of various wars, for which pos
terity viii have to pay, while probably as
much more was expended in cash-a good
argument for the Quakers. There is, how
ever, nothing alarming in these figures. The
world has mortgsged but little over per
cent. of its wealth, the only countries
which have exceeded this percentage being
France, Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain, Por-
tugal, and few Spanish States on this con-
tinent. The United States pays the lowest
interest of any nation on the globe, and this
is alone owing to the inherent vitality and
and resistless progress of the people. With
everything against us but youth and pur-
pose, menaced by prodigate administrations
and reckless expenditures, with taxes that
appear to be always increasing, we have run
the race of national progress and stand in
the van of the nations.

THE rHRasHED DUDE,

RrrHERFoRD GUYDoN, the Brooklyn dude
who made unwelcome love to a New York
belle, and for which he was publicly caued,
TO the great satisfaction of the metropolitan
reporters, was rather harshly treated. While
lovers of the GrrDoS type are not to be en-.
couraged, it is not possible to entertain
much respect either for the courage or sense
of propriety of the big brother and intended
brotherin-law in thrashing the poor fellow.
He seems not to have meant any insult,
and case Of the kind Of mad love at sight
deserves pity, not violence. Either the
brother or father could have discouraged
the young fellow by peaceably dissuading
him from his rash and unwelcome inten-
tons. But for the young lady to entrap
him only to have him cudgeled for daring
10 love her was scarcely nice on her part,
any more than it was manly on the part Of
her brother.

THE GREAT INCoMPREHENsIBLE.

The recent ineXphca6le suicide of Rev,
HENRY S. WILLIAMSON, at Trenton, n. j.,
points with an emphasis, which none can re-
sist, to the theory that no man takes his
own life when in the full possession Of his
reason. The science of electricity, imper-
fectly as it is yet understood, the mysteries
which still cluster about the Polar seas, are
as open as the day when compared with the
deeper enigma Of the human mind. TIE
unseen world itself is as little known and as
little understood. The partition which
divides sanity from deliriuu is often but a
thin paper wall, readily punctured, and
ofentmes the curtain is rent when least we
are aware. When one in the absence Of
perceptibIs emotion. suddenly, By his own
act, rushes into the other world. it is not
merely the mercitul but the only verdict
which can be rendered, that
with curious art the brain, too finely wrought,
PreyS on itself, and + destroy ed by thought
