Rev DR.. a. G. Haygood on Mr.. Davis.
A four-columu editorial on MIR. Davis, in
the Wesleyan Christian A@Uoeate, by DR..
Haygood, closes with the following beauti-
ful tribute to the dead statesman:
The greed of money did not dwarf his
soul or canker his heart His hands were
clean. His worst enemy cannot think of
Jefferson Davis as lending his influence to
corrupt practices. The most brazen lobby
lists who buy votes could. never have an
preached him Had%he beea in the senate
lUO years the white light of his honest soul
would have abashed the boldess bride
giverS. We cannot conceive the thing so
much as possible-that this clean and kinply
man should have sold himself
We honor his self-respecting iudepend-
ence. Pressed down with ,debls that were
without dishonor, he toiled an till he died,
and would not accept charity from a loving
people who would have made him rich. He
d'd not ask cash for patriotism. Now
tnat he IS gone, the southern people will
honor themselves in paying their debt of
gratitude, so far as money can pay it. They
will be responsible for his debts and his
family, end in way that would not shame
even him.
Let our young men remember and
emulate his knightly courtesy toward
women. During all our history this has
characterized our best men. Let US cherish
this feeling; there can be no highest man
hood, no noblest womanhood without it.
do not know enough to speak infinitely
OF his religious character. 1t is common
enough to make up verdicts about mems
relations to God. 1 DO not. But believe
that Mr.. Davis was a christian. He
recognized God and his son Jesus Christ.
and died in the christian church.
When our people contend for the honor
of his grave aud our cities build monu-
ments to his memory. we honor man who,
thrown into the whirlpool of revolution
that shook the world, bore himself grandly,
and who, when it was over, endured what
came to him with perfect dignity and ia
shrinking fortitude
All over the south to-day our people are
trying to voice their love and gratitude.
There will never be such scene again. AS
the historian Motley writes of the d5ath of
William, Prince of Orange. some may say
this day of Jefferson Davis; "And when
he died the little children cried in the

The Coming Prohibition Campaign.

There is little doubt that the prohi-
bition amendment TO the Constitution
will be submitted to vote of the
people of Penusyl, ania either at
special election to be held next sum
mer or at the fall election of 1889 at
farthest. The Republican party of
the State is pledged to submission.
Governor Beaver, in bis message, not
only advocates submission, but urges
that the election be held es early as
May or June, SO that the vote upon it
may be taken without any admixture
of partisan politics or local interest to
perplex the voters. Senator Quay has
signed petition asking the Legisla-
ture to pass the amendment and sub
nit it to vote of the people and the
Legislature is not likely to refuse Sen
ator Quay so reasonable request as
this.
The temper ince people of the State
already consider themselves justified
in the assumption that they will have
chance to vote upon the measure,
aud as they want to win as well as
vote, they are already making prepa-
rations for united effort to secure
prohibition majority at the ballo, box.
To this end combination of the
temperance organizations in w tern
Pennsylvania is proposed, with view
to its extension all over the State.
The movement is TO be made under
the auspices of the Evangelical Minis
terial association. A committee of FIVE
clergymen have had the subject under
consideration for two months and will
report to a meeting of the association
at Pittsburg on Monday next. 1t is
understood the committee will favor
the creation of citizens central exec
utive temperance campaign ccmmit-
tee, to which all the temperance or
ganizations of the State, including the
Sons of Temperance, Good Templars,
Women's Christian Temperance I'm
ion, Gospel Temperance Union, Muir
ply Association and Catholic Total
Abstience Society shall be invited to
elect delegates. This committee is
first to encourage all temperance
people to engage in the campaign a.
far a. possib G, and second, to discour
} age discussion of the minor details OF
the temperance question during tn,
canvass. 1t is not worth while to pre-
dict the resu't at this early date, but i
is safe TO say the prohibition and anti
; prohibition forces will be rallied to the
! last man if the proposition of the
: Evangelical Ministerial Association il
a adopted and carried out. Times.

Washington Monument.
THE EFFECT OF HEAT AND COLD ON THE
GREAT STONE SHAFT.

Great care is taken to note the move
ment of the Washington Monument,
for it does move. The law of contrac-
ton and expansion of material by heat
and cold operates here rs well as else
where. When the sun shines full on
the eastern face in the morning the
stones of that side expand and throw
the shaft slightly to the west, Then
the sun goes around to the south and
the apex of the monument makes cor
responding swing TO the north. As
the orb creeps about the sky to its final
setting in the evering The glittering
point on top of the monument makes
contra-movement around half circle,
gradually setting back to its normal
position after the rays of the sun have
lost their power. This movement has
never been calculated, but is undoub =
edly very slight. The wind, too, has
an effect upon the structure. From
the center Of gravity Of the shaft, To-
Gated TIA feet and 10 inches from the
floor, is a cross beam from which is sus.
pended fine steel wire, protected by
a galvanized iron tube about fur inches
n diameter, This hangs to the floor
at the northwest corner of the elevator
well. At the bottom is a plumb bob
weighing twenty-five pounds, suspend
ed by means of the wire, and hanging
in water. An iron cylinder protects
the instrument from injury, and little
iron house about four feet high keeps
off the draught. Through the cylinder
is telescope eyepiece, in one end OF
which are Two vertical wires about one
quarter of an inch apart. When q
candle is held at an opening in the sid,
of the box and the eye is applied TO III,
outside end of the tube, the plumb lin,
can be seen-a fine line between Tn,
vertical marks, Any movement In tn,
shaft is recorded by corresponding
movement in the line. When th'
structure is at rest, and in its norma
.position, the line hangs still, midway
between the others, but when the shat
is disturbed by the action of the wine
it sways back and forth like the pen
dulum OF clock, always coming t,
rest in the center. This is observed
every day, and il the custodian shoul,
ever notice the line hanging still at an,
point outside of the two cross lines h
, will then know thst the monumenc ha
} been permanently moved from its leve
position. Until then, however, no on
need be alarmed by the oscillations u
the shaft from the action of the WIN
! or the Influence of the SUM- WashinS
ltOa Star.

The High License Aot.

Among the Legislators al the Capitol
last week was Representative Brooks,
author of the High License Act, which
bears his name. He was asked wheth-
er the law would be touched at the
coming session of the legislature.
"Well," said Mr.. Brooks, "there may
be some attempts to amend it, but they
will not succeed. In one feature both
Philadelphia and Allegheny are par
tioularly desirous of amending the bill,
and that is in taking the power OF
granting licenses from the hands of the
judges; they either want that or they
want the power of discretion taken from
the judges; that is, every man shall be
granted license who asks for one, pro
vided he pays for it. 1t will not work
however, as this is not special act
and special features can not be intro
duced as amendments"
"Will any attempt be made to re
duce the fees?'
"On the contrary, if anything, tn,
fees will be made higher.

san Francisco Letter TO ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Early this week the body of a wo-
man known rs Mrs. Luther was buried
here, after lying in an undertaker's
shop for seven years, The body was
embalmed and inclosed in hermetical-
ly-sealed casket, and had been placed
in the cellar of the establishment, wait
ing orders from New Yo,k for its ship
ment to that city, Finally it had been
forgotten, and only when an account
of stock, owing to change Of firm, was
taken was the corpse discovered and
properly inferred.

A Ten-Year-old telegraph Operator.
From the Ne,O York sun


Little Johnny Hummel, aged ten years,
is one Of the most remarkable prodigies in
the United States in telegraph work. Mon
day the boy entered the large railroad
office at the Reading railroad station and
was introduced TO the chief operator aud
his men. Johnny is the son of Charles
Hummel, an expert telegraph operator at
Perkiomen junction. The past few years he
has been quietly perfecting the little fellow
in the art, and Monday he carried the boy to
Reading to show what he could do. The boy
is SO small that an operators chair was too
low for hun, so he stood at one Of the tables
containing the instrument OF one OF the
heaviest wires on the line. Johnny very
cooly received by sound three long
messages from Philadelphia without a
single break, and made as legible copy as
any man in the Office could do His per-
formauce was voted as simply wonderful.

ought to be enough of man to avoid
shielding himself behind the closed doors
of the Senate while he blackens the char
acter of another. If Senator cannot give
a good reason for opposing nomination, he
ought not to oppose, and if he has valid
reason, he should be afraid of nobody in
advancing it.
Senator TELLER's resolution has been
called forth by the newspaper criticism and
abuse called out by the rejection of the
nomination of MURAT HALsTEAD to be
minister to Germany. The Colorado Sen
ator, it is said, is one of those who voted
against the confirmation, and as a conse-
quence he has been attacked most savagely
by partisan organs, but cannot defend him
self, his tongue being tied. TELLER is a man
of courage and independence. He is not
afraid to say why he opposed HALsTEAD, and
he would say it before the whole world
as freely and frankly as before his brother
Senators. He, as well as the nominee,
should have the privilege of being placed
right on the record. The public, also,
should know what is brought out in
the Senate concerning an official. 1t fire.
quently happens that very grave charges
are preferred against candidates, and the
charges are proven, Notwithstanding which
the nominations are confirmed, partisanship
being stronger than honesty. If the public
were aware of the facts the majority of the
Senate would not dare to confirm man
against whom wrong-doing or incompetency
had been proven.
There is no good reason for closing the
doors of the Senate while nominations are
being discussed. On the contrary, there is
every reason for permitting the public to
know all the facts If the nominee is afraid
of the truth, if he cannot face the world
he ought not to be placed in the office, and
no rule should be allowed to shield Sen
atOr in improper work.
