A NOTABLE COMPETITION.

II by any mischance the project for World:
| Fair in 1892 should come TO nothing, not the
| least disappointed citizens of the Republic vii
be those who even now may be laying their pan
to capture one or both of the prizes lately
authorized to be offered by the Phi Beta Kappa
Society. That venerable organization, through
its National council has empowered COMMITTEES
consisting of Bishop Potter and the presidents
of Harvard, Yale. Johns Hopkins, Cornell the
University Of Michigan and the University of
Minnesota to offer as its contribution to the
Fair two prizes of 5000 each, "for the best
general essays on the progress of science and
literature respectively; such essays TO embrace
a philosophical discussion of the development
in the past and the outlook for the future.n
Unless this committee should decide to await
a decisive answer TO the question whether there
is to be a World Fair three years hence, we
may shortly expect to be informed of the
specific conditions under which aspirants for
very honorable distinction and a considerable
amount Of hard cash may compete.
The Phi Beta Kappa, as a correspondent Of
1.-The Commercial Advertiser reminds us was
born amid the great events of I776, and is
entitled by its birthright to the patriotic spirit
which this notable proposal of literary con-
test eyinces. With the rapid development
of other social organizations in the colleges
the practical utility, though not the high
reputation, of the society has diminished in
recent years. 1t is still the agency through
which here and there, and notably at Cam
bridge, fine orationS are annually extracted
from distinguished graduates of the uni versites,
but in some at least, of the institutions where
it was once living force it Is now little more
than an honored name. II may be safely as
sumed that though the coming competition had
its inception in purely unselfsh purpose it
will serve TO stimulate the waning activities
of the Phi Beta Kappa. The prizes are worthy
of the ancient society which offers them, both
in respect 60 the literary feat which they encour-
age and the rewards which they propose. Effor
to promote intellectual competitions of this
description are commonly made ridiculous by
the paltry recOmpenses which they hold out.
If the day has gone past when laurel wreath
was sufficient stimulus and reward for toll
of mind or body, the day has not yet come
when competitors of respectable quality will
contend arduouSly for prize of a hundred
dollars. But there are few men leading the
intellectual life of which Mr.. Hamerton dis
courses to whom the sum of SO 900 is not of
considerable consequence. If the Worlds Fair
enterprise is ever fairly launched, and if
the Phi Beta Kappa committee make procla-
nation Of the contest now proposed, we shall
expect to hear that many keen inteects are
at work, and eventually to read prize essays
of which the authors, however famous other
WISE will have no cause to feel ashamed.

4 SPECTATORS DREAMS.

Experience" who wrote from the Fifth
Avenue Hotel ten days ago disputing The
IRIBUNEs "guesses on wheat" promised to
remind this paper Of his own estimate when the
Government report appeared He has failed
to DO so, up TO date. He then solemnly de-
clared, y" We therefore cannot expect 48O ,OOO,-
600 bushels this year" and the Department
report, If 1t means anything. means at least
490'O0o,o0o bushels. 1t has published it's
statement that the yield averages 81 bushels
to the acre, which, on the acreage declared by
Experience to be official, would be $4,000
600 bushels.
But Experience told an untruth, perhaps
in ignorance, when he asserted that the Gov
eminent had published four months ago the
statement of acreage which he gave. The fact
is that the regular monthly statements this year
have not contained any definite innate of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-10-15

acreage whatever. 1t is entirely in order for
Experience" now to assert that the acreage
is in fact less than he supposed ten days ago, by
two millions or more, to suit his desires in the
market For the Department has not COM
mitted itself to definite figure But the in
formation which il has given points to prob
able acreage little less than the thirty nine
millions asserted by Experience" and to a
Weld of about 95 900, 600 bushels. 1t is not
pleasant for people to face facts when their
gambling happens to be on the wrong side.
But the business of n journalist is to record the
facts, no matter whom they may please.

wEMPLE AND TABOR ONCE MORE

Another Democratic organ has come to the
defence Of the papier- mache ticket which, in
shameless defiance of public opinion, was nom
mated at Syracuse 1t is "The Troy Press
THE Press yields the whtewash brush in
behalf of its party's two candidates whose
records are tainted in this highly impressive
manner:
The New-York Tribune has good deal to say about
the charges against Controller wempe and Attorney
General Tabor. There are charges against these
officers and there never have been any.
IL will be seen that our Trojan friend does
not agree either with Governor Hill or with
its fellow Hill organs. Hill and his mouth
pieces, with the exception of THE Press, y
concede that there are charges, and serious
ones at that, against Wemple and Tabor Hill.
as soon as the Syracuse ticket hau been placed
in the field, hurried to the stump, and there
endeavored to "vindicate" both Of these un-
faithful public servants. And in this dreary,
because hopeless, task Of meeting the charges
preferred against Wemple and Tabor he has
been industriously assisted by Democratic
newspapers in all parts of the State.
How does it happen, then, that " The PreSs''
takes the ground that there are no charges
against the officials in question? Has it come
to the conclusion after reading the Hill and
the Hill organs arguments in their defence
that the least said about Wemples and TaboFs
connection with the ceiling scandal the better
One Of Dickenss characters was accustomed t
wave behind his back whatever appeared t
him as disagreeable or embarrassing. The
charges against Wemple and Tabor must prov,
both disagreeable and embarrassing to Demo

the hand. No charges against Wemple anC

The war against the deadly wires is going
on with undated vigor; and 1t is war IN
which no compromise compatible with public
safety is possible. In spite of the Injunction
proceedings that are pending, an easy way ap-
pears to have been discovered of getting nd OF
badly insulated wires. which are agents OF
imminent peril wherever they happen to be.
The Board of Health seemingly has undoubted
power to declare such wires dangerous NUS
ances, and to remove them forthwith; and
against that Board no injunction can be Sc
cured without eight days notice. But beyond
this, the pressing duty Of the city officials is to
put all electrical conductors bearing hgh-ten-
sion currents in underground conduts with
the least possible delay. To this end Mayor
Grant is directing his energies in way that
will win universal approval. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that, judging by yesterdays meeting
his efforts are not likely to be seconded by his
associates in the Board of Electrical Control
with such heartiness as the people would be
glad to see Burying the wires may not Who'll
ly eliminate danger from electnc-hght cur

The defaulting employee Of the Wagner Palace
Car Company was implicitly trusted by his SUI
periOrs, in spite of the fact that he was known
10 be " extravaglnt' and to have bet heavily
on the races" II might be said that this
knowledge ought to have been regarded as a
sufficient reason for not trusting him implicitly,
but, on the other hand. it is true that when
employers are robbed. their surprise is often
intensified by the discovery that the man who
has gone wrong is the man whose thrifty and
sober habits have been their admiration. The
comforting reflection is that after all, the rascas
are very small minority.

While the members OF DR.. Talmage's church
have been laying up treasures in Heaven, these
many years, they have also been paying the
premiums regularly on comfortable amount of
insurance, and hence are in good condition to
begin the erection of another Tabernacle without
delay.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-10-15

The destruction Of the Brooklyn Tabernacle is
a loss that will fall largely upon the insurance
companies For DR.. Talmage's congregation and
the city, it is distinct gain, for new church
of more imposing exterior and larger proportions
will speedily take the place of the burned
structure. The popular preacher and the trustees
so far from being dismsyed by the catastrophe,
have resoutelY set about the work of building
a new Tabernacle that will be worthy of the
LARGEST Protestant congregation in America. Mr..
Deecher and DR.. Talmage have been the two men
who succeeded IN making Brooklyn famous.
Plymouth Church was ideal place of worship
for the one but the Tabernacle has never been

trustees will not act so hastily in deciding upon
