Tho Way of Union.

The heartlness and unanimity with which
the Democrats OF the Third Pennsylvania
district are supporting the Hon. RICHARD
TAUx, should teach Democrats everywhere
lesson in the Indispensable art OF getting
together. Get together" was ono Of tho
many wise counsels which Mr.. RANDALL adj
dressed to tho Democracy. He was reso-
Lutte advocate OF the American protective
policy, and It was by his faithfulness TO his
economic convictions that he won the hatred
OF the Mugwumps and OF tho more fanatt-
cal and foolish of tho free traders. Yet 1t
was not as a protectionist, but as a Demo-
crat, that his highest and greatest service
was rendered. Ho was protecttonist, and
he tried to save his party from the folly OF
the free trade tiasco; but he was, before all
and above all, Democrat. lie did not try
TO drive out Of the party Democrats whose
views OF protection we're different from his.
He did not lose sight of the fact that the
essential and immortal part OF Democracy
Is not a theory of economics.
Mr.. RICHARD vAUx was nominated not as
a supporter or an opponent OF Mr.. RAN
pALL's economies but as a long be-
lever in straight Democracy The old
fashioned. straight Democracy is his plat
form, and on that platform all the Demo-
Gratis Of the Third district can stand
The means which has united tho Demo-
cratic party in the Third Pennsylvania dis
trict is the means which should unite the
Democratic party throughout the country in
1892 Put up Democrat who is Democrat
through and through.

BRIDGEPORT. May 19.-Mr. F. J. Fowler OF
this city addressed a society OF engineers on
Saturday evening respecting his discovery OF a
property Of steam which, under some crcum-
stances, will cause an instantaneous doubling
OF boiler pressure without the application Of
moro heat. His claims were demonstrated by
a small boiler In which the pressure was raised
to 40 pounds. and after being removed from
the fire WAS suddenly thrown to so pounds. In
an instant from 80 mounds to 16O pounds. 1t
was claimed that this property accounted for
many so-called mysterious boiler explosions.
or those which withstood the inspectors test
and then exploded at lower pressure. Il WAS
shown how this property could be readily re-
moved from the boiler and the same was
demonstrated by successful experiments.

LAST YEARS MORTALITY.

Health Officer Keeney reports the total
number of deaths i'll the city for the wear
ending June 30th at 6378 This is the heayi-
est mortality on record. Last year the NOR
talily"yas only 5729. Twice before, in 1857,
when CLIO deaths were recorded, and in
1S67-SS, when the number was 6O36, the 5000
limit was passed. Next to these years the
heaviest mortality was in 1861, when $3.50
deaths we're recorded.
Dr. Keeney's predecessors in common with
other people estimated the total population of
the city in 1888 and 1889 at 800 600, and hence
figured out death rate of 1876 and 1927.
But these estimates, like most statistics
based on guesses, we're perhaps misleading.
The actual mortality in 1sS9-90, compared
with population which the census enumer-
ators have returned at 800, 600, gives death
rate Of 1924. and it is possible that this has
been the average death rate for some years,
though in 1879 the Health Officer reported
IL 10 be 1415, and in the year previous at
1903 The death rate Of San Francisco is
low as compared with cities which do not
ENJOY as equab!e climate and as whole
some ar as ours; but there is no scientific
reason why 1t should be phenomenal.
The slight increase in the city ponulation
III 1oo9-SO o'eI 100000 uoeS not warrant an
increase OF $40 deaths, Or over IL per cent.
The fact is the more striking as we have had
no epidemic disease or other exceptional
cause Of mortality. We are compelled to
infer that the heavy and continued rains of
last winter. followed by the spread of la
grippe, must have caused an unusual num-
Der OF fatal cases of troubles Of the lungs
and throat. In the East long continued
rain always swells the death list, while in
England and Ireland, where the precipita-
ton is normally heavy. it has not been OBJ
served that wet seasons are unhealthy. La
grippe was not primary cause of death in
