New Departure by the Bank of England.

Pnladelphla fTeSS
The Bank of England recently loaned
money for one day, which is very unusual.
In ordinary operations tie bank has never
heretofore made loans for less than a week.
The precedent will, no doubt, run into the
practice of lending money on call by the
bank, a most convenient method, both for
the lender and the borrower.

PROFESSOR WILEY, chemist of the
Agricultural Department, thinks the
outlook for the beet-sugar industry in
this country very promising, and says
he sees no reason why the lake regions
of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan should
not raise beets enough to supply the en-
tire country with sugar. He thinks the
belt of country indicated is we'll located
ard OF the proper temperature and
moisture for the production of sugar
beets. Congress made an appropriation
at the last session for conducting ex-
periments in beet-sugar manufacture,
and Professor Wiley, who, by the way,
is an Indianian, is preparing to make as
thorough an investigation of the subject
as possible, and report upon the results.
He will visit California, where the beet
sugar industry has already made most
gratifying progress. He will also go to
Wisconsin, where he will personally su-
pervise the experiments which will be
made at Madison, at which point the de-
partment will soon establish station.

that the dam was bound TO go. started out
TO tell the people, and by II o'clock every
body in the Conemaugh region did or
should have known of their danger. Three
hours later my gravest fears were more
than realized.
From this it is evident it would be very
difficult to fix any direct responsibility
on the owners of the lake, if any exists.
In the case of the Mill-river disaster in
Massachusetts, in 1874, resulting in great
loss of life, but not at all approaching
this, a coroner's jury found that the en-
gineering work on the dam was discred-
liable, and the State authorities
were blamed for having author
lied the construction of the reser-
voir without taking proper steps to
insure its safety. But even such
finding fixes no pecuniary responsibility
and furnishes no relief or remedy for
the sufferers.
The only excuse for maintaining any
reservoir or dam in position of danger
is public recessity or utility. In the
case of COnemaugh lake it is easy to see
now that when it ceased to be work of
public use it should have been drained.
But this is one of the cases in which
hindsight is better than foresight.
The simple fact is that nobody really
apprehended danger. But if there is
another dam or reservoir in the United
States, located in dangerous position
and maintained for pleasure, it should

We clip the following from the
Dushore Gazette of last week. We
take it from half column article
announcing a call of the standing
committee &c. viz:
"The delegates who in several in
stances were privately selected and
not by the Republican voters at
large and went to the, convention
like dumb driven cattle to vote ave
for the candidate slated by two of
the chief lieutenants.
This is slur not only upon the
Republican delegates who were in
attendance at the convention but up
on every individual who advocates
Republican principles. The idea of
calling the Republican or any other
party drove of dumb driven cattle.
Will this sort of information help to
elect John Utz Sheriff of this coun-
typ Will this slur upon you and
me aid him in getting that large
vote in the Western portion of the
county claimed by him, and his sec
onds are positive sure he will get in
November. The article was no doubt
written by Scouten and handed to
John Utz for his approval which
places Mr.. Utz equally rs deep in the
miro rs the writer himself was in tie
mud. Can you conscientiously vote
for nominee who would belittle
himself in such a manner. We
imagine that this article will have q
tendency to drive more votes from
Mr.. Utz than the work of the Stand
ing Committee will bring him. 1t
would have been better to have writ
ten postal cards to the members,
calling the meeting together. The
article also might have a tendency to
lessen the number of patrons to the
Gazette.

The small boy had had q fight

perhaps, the value of everything
does not really change, only our
capacity to refrain feeling. This

grown up girl, and could not be ex-

A New Canal Sykfem.

A new system of canal construction
has been designed and recently patent
ed by an Englishman. The object is
TO do away entirely with the necessity
for steam or horse power in canal
traffic, and this end is sought TO be at
tanned by the creation Of a current of
water strong enough 10 carry the boats
along from point TO point. Mr.. Pick
ard has designed a double canal, AT
one end of which is a screw, resemb-
ling the propeller of a steamship. This
screw, which is worked by steam
power, forces the current in one direc-
ton and causes il TO return in the par.
allel division Of the canal, the direction
Of the current being reversible at will.
By this arrangement all loss Of water
is obviated and the bed Of the canal is
kept clean. This current is, of course,
confined TO each separate level Of
canal, and when locks intervene an
other current has TO be created. New
