ing therefore to read these words from the republican Pittsburg Dispatch ''We have looked over that document (the republican platform) and have failed to find any de- claration of the principle that the purpose of the election was to put republicans in the minor offices. On the contrary, we find there double pledge in favor of civil service reform to the end that the dangers to free institutions which turk in the power of official patronage may be wisely and effectively avoided This statement of republican doctrine, in con trast with the principle of political action laid down by the first assistant postmaster general proves conclusively that MT Clark son is no longer a republican. He has cast aside the civil-serviee- reform princi- pies authoritatively avowed and adopted by the republican national organization in order to rank himself among the pro fessional spoilsmen. Having thus dis avowed republican principles, his own rule of action debars him from holding office. His first duty, according to his own statement, is to kick himself out"
 This is most excellent advice from an organ whose staunch republicanism ought to insure it a hearing, but we have no idea, neither need anyone else have, that the advice will be followed. Mir Clarkson is not there to carry out the promises of the republican platform or the hypocrit- ical professions of the godly Harrison; he is there to cut the official head off every democratic postmaster in the service. And it must be acknowledged by even the hungrisst republican office hunter in the land that he is making the best of prog ress ill his mission. Not since the day 8 of Lincoln has any political headsman done such efficient and rapid work; and however anxious certain organs like the Pittsburg Dispatch may be for little more obedience to the Chicago platform there is no reason to hope that MT Clark son will kick himself out He isn't that kind of kicker
 When MT Clarkson kicks there is gen erally democrat on the toe of his boot

Two Maine Snake Stories.

Here are two startling snake stories from Maine. The first comes from Waterville, where the post.mortem examination of Q horse that dled from unknown causes re- vealed in its stomach a ''snake four and one half feet long, with head and eyes perfect, six inches in circumference, and the color of blood with the exception of white stripe on the back" Another snake came from the stomach of Mrs. Frank Kenny, of Ports. mouth, N. H., who was in Biddeford under medical treatment. In August, 1868, at Q camp meeting in Alton Bay, she drank water from a brook, and afterward became Ill. She was treated for cancer of the stom- Rch, but stoutly insisted that something moved within her. The other day, by means of 8 powerful drug, 'a Hght-colored snake twelve and three-eighths inches long was disgorged from her stomach, and she has gone home happy"

BRITAIN'S ROYAL PENSIONERS.

bRIIAlN'S ROY AL PENSIONERS.
 The people of England are now wrest- ling with pension problem of which the vagaries of Plunger Tanner have given us some conception on this side of the big pond. It is the question of the allow ances to be granted to the royal family which is given fresh importance now in connection with the approaching nuptials of the daughter of the prince of Wales.
 It is perhaps owing to the growth of a republican spirit among the English people that protest is made to the payment of these large allowances to the scions of royalty. The gradual extension of the suffrage has placed political power in the hands of the wage-earning classes, men who do not take kindly, even in the shadow of inherited custom, to the idea of supporting titled race out of the public treasury. And this indisposition is in tensifed by the belief that Queen Victoria has been profting from the custom of allowances to lay by large private for tune for herself. She is thrifty old lady and knows how to squeeze dollar into her pocket with the best of them. The people can hardly be blamed, therefore, for desiring to deprive her of some opportunities of bleeding them through her innumerable progeny of children and grandchildren. If parli
 ament, which has before it request pre- ferred by the queen that an allowance may be provided for the eldest son of the prince of Wales, and also in the form of a dover for his daughter who is to marry the earl of Fife, takes counsel of the sentiment that exists among the people, it will cer- tainly unhinge settled policy that has pre-. vailed since the days of George III. And it seems to be probable that, ill the case of the princess at least, parliament will re- fuse to grant the queens request, though the allowance will certainly be granted to the young man, who, being in the line of descent as heir to the British crown, is en- titled to consideration so long as mon archical institutions are maintained. Should the dover be refused it may be re garded as the first effective protest against the pensioning of individuals for the req son that royal blood flows i'll their veins. This may be regarded as sign of healthy progress, for the time must surely come when the descendants of kings will be re- garded no more than common individuals, even in q monarchical country. The common equality of men must yet prevail in every land of the civili- zed globe, and any matter that tends to hasten it's progress will be hailed with joy by those who believe in the principle.
 The world, or at least that portion of it which has not selfish attachment to hereditary nobility, rejoices at the grow ing indisposition of the English people to pension the members of its royal family. It is an indication of the growth of repub lican sentiment which must eventually animate all men and all countries.

Locating a Break in a Cable.

Simple as are the methods of locating
mid-ocean breaks III cables, so that a
vessel may sail to the point of rupture,
they are, perhaps. not popularity under
stood. If the metallic conductor were
broken, the surrounding insulation re-
naming perfect, the electrostatic charge
of the cable, or the amount of electricity
which it ab>orbs i'll becoming charged,
is electrically weighed by building up
all artificial line. until the current flows
equally into the cable and such artificial
line. This equal division of the current
might be indicated by ditlerential in
strunent resembling the duplex relays.
If the currents are equal, the armature
OF the differential instrument remains
quiescent during their passage through
its coils, for one balances the other.
Each element of the artificial line hav-
ing the static capacity of known length
of cable, an inventory Of the elements
used in making the artificial line would
obviously give the length OF the cable.
This process is no more abstruse than
would be the determination OF the dis
lance to water-tight obstruction in q
pipe, by forcing i'll or pumping out
water, and taking its measurement. If
it were known that pint of water filled
foot of tine pipe, the length of the
conduit would equal in feet the number
of pints pumped out or forced in.
Ii. however, the insulating covering
of the wire is broken, the current will
flow freely from the conductor to the
surrounding water, and its strength, if
the power of the battery is known, de-
finiteiv measures the electrical resist
ance, and consequently the length of
the conductor. In other words, the
battery power, divided by the indicated
current-strength, gives the lines resist
ance, and therefore its length. In the
same manner, if We know the head of a
water supply, we may easily determine
the length Of pipe by noting the veloc-
ity of the flow, Scribner.
