LIGHT FOR JOHN BULL.

At various times and upon different SUBJ
jects Americans have been of the opinion
that their English cousins needed more
light. Now it seems that John Bull him.
self has decided that the travelling public In
their little island need more light. But his
Lordship is thrifty and even crafty, and he
proposes to make the people pay extra tor
it. The ingenuity of natural gas companies
upon this side of the water is as nothing
when compared TO John Bulls cunning In
financial matters. His disposition in this
respect has been dealt with too gently. He
needs no light upon such topics. His native
shrewdness, like that which he SO gleefully
attributes to Uncle Sam, is of the dYed-in-
the-wool variety. or perhaps, as we should
say in his case, bred-in-the-bone.
The burden of the present charge against
the latest manifestation of his duplicity
relates to the advantage he has taken of the
American invention of the niekel-in-the-
slot machine. He is converting it to use
which it is safe to say the late deceased in
ventor never contemplated. BY perverted
application of the same to the electric light
Ing system of the English trains, John Bull
will only consent to turn on the light" SO
that man can read his paper when going
home, upon the condition that the sufferer
shall first drop penny in the slot. 1t is
stated that thereby the circuit is closed on
the lamp from set of aecumulators and
good light is given for about a quarter of an
hour, when the circuit is interrupted, to be
renewed again, if desired, by the. insertion
of another coin. Truly that is a very
domestic picture. John Bull squeezing
close up to the lamp in the of his cross
grained railroad carriages, and dropping
English pennies into the slot of an American
machine in order TO get light enough to see
to crafty his ieyerish interest in our pros.
perity and tariff. Only the graphic genius
of Mast or the facile pen of Thackeray
could DO justice to the scene.

when he got back to Yambuya and found
the camp he had left there in ruin, and
Tippoo lib faithless, he gathered up the
wreck and went back TO the Equator and
thence 70 Zanzibar, without aid from Tlppoo
Tib. But the men whom Stanley left there
were not Stanleys; they were troubled by
divided authority; and there is no room for
doubt left that Stanley made an error IN
placing any reliance on Tippoo lib, or, at
least in leaving his lieutenants to deal with
that willy and treacherous slave dealer.
While we can see that Stanley might have
done better, it should be remembered In favor
of the unfortunate Barttelot that he made
sincere attempt to follow Stanley with his
part of the expedition and was only stopped
by death.
Under these circumstances the contro-
versy which has arisen might have been
averted by little mutual liberation. 1t is
no more than natural that Stanley should
express the disappointment which he felt at
finding the failure which was made OF the
rear column. 1t is no more than natural
that Barttelot's brother should rush to the
rescue of his brothers reputation, but 1T
would have been much wiser for him to
have stopped and Investigated how far the
complaints in the dead mans diary were
borne out by the facts. 1t was natural that
Stanley should reply by reference to reports
assailing Major Barttelot's character that
had reached him.
As to the representations that Stanley
forced Emin Bey to go with him to Zanzi-
bar, they ore rendered ridiculous by the
proof that before Stanley took the German
explorer away, Emin and Jephson had been
made prisoners by mutiny of their own
men, and had narrowly escaped capture by
the Soudanese. Such an attempt to detract
from Stanley's cred it, paralleling those
that have followed each of his previous great
achievements, may excuse great deal of
heat in the explorers reply to all assaults.
But even with that excuse, we can see that
he is unwise in letting such things make
him angry. His deeds are the best reply
to all such attacks.

SOCIAL SUNSHINE.

Brilliant Marriage of Miss Phillips and Mr..
Davis, at the Elegant Mansion of the
Brides Father--Other Weddings--Bob
Burdette Will Lecture.
All was joy and sunshine at the elegant
Phillips mansion. on Mcclure avenue. Ale
legheny. last night. No, not quite an Joy, tor
mixed with the pleasures and brllliance of the
occasion conid be found q tinge of sorrow at
the loss of sister and daughter whose sunny
disposition has made her almost indispensable
to the grand old place. Not lost forever. 'trs
true. but she has gone away and will brighten
another home, in which she will be the reign
ing queen, called by that conseerated name
wife.
Beautiful as the old mansion always is, its
magnifcence was more than doubled by the
decorative arts Of the florists, and last night
when the ceremony was said that robbed the
home OF one OF its most beautiful flowers the
reception and banquet halls presented g1or-
1ous picture. Chrysanthemums were the chief
among the decorations, but roses were scattered
about profuseiy and the fragrances of bloom
ing plants filled the air.
The bride, Miss Ella Phillips, was costumed
in heavy corded white silk, draped with a
profusion of beautiful old point lace. She wore
no jewels, but carried bouquet of brides roses.
The maid of honor was Miss Kate Phillips who
was attired in pure white crepe deehine, decol-
lete, and instead of the usual bouauet of roses
carried an ostrich fan. The briuemaIds, beautiful
young ladies eostumed similarly to the maid of
honor, were Miss E. Belle Clark, of Buffalo, N.
Y; Miss Mag L. Grouard, of Exeter Mass;
Miss A. Evadene johnson, of Buffalo, and Miss
Nellie Brown, of this CITY.
The groom. Mr.. John D. Davis, was attended
BY Messrs- r. NJ. Phillips and Joseph II.
Phillips, brothers of the BRIDE Frank Stewart
and Jason Davis of PHILADELPHIA.
AT 6:30 the wedding march was taken mp, the
bride being preceded by little pages Robert
Lincoln Smithley and Earl A. Lenkard, who
made her way path of roses. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. ]. &. Coster, of
Grace Reformed Church, standing in au alcove
decorated with roses.
After the wedding banquet Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis left on a honeymoon trip-where they
alone know. Their residence will be on Dith-
ridge street, East End. and they will be at home
to their friends after December 3.

OUR MAIL POUCH.
Wants a Permanent Organization.

To the Editor of The Dispatch;
Now that the smoke of battle has cleared
away the results of Tuesdays conflict begin to
to show themselves in their full proportions
and to the thoughtful voter furnish some IN
terestiBg and instructive lessons. A few OF the
most prominent construe to be;
First-That the defeat of Delamater and
the election of Pattison by a majority OF
between Is, coo and 20 600 in State having nor
NAL Republican majority of $4,000, shows that
this change of 100000 votes was due to $4,000
Independent Republicans, distributed over the
entire State. and that the cause of this defec-
tion must have been some real fancied
grievance of no small proportions. The at
tempt on the part of local politicians to ascribe
the result to personal hostility of e. L. Magee
is puerile. He was the smallest factor in the
fight and had little or no influence outside the
city of Pittsburg.
Second-That if these $1,000 Independent Re-
publicans will form themselves into permanent
organization, they can hold the balance OF
power In this State and force the nomination
OF good men by both parties and the enactment
Of beneficial laws; and that unless they do form
such an organization they will speedily lose the
fruits of their hard-won victory.
Third-That the people of Pennsylvania will
not submit TO any real or fanced dictatIon in the
choice of their leading candidates. and that he
Is tne Wisest politician who gives the people
what they want.
Fourth-That the policy of prominent public
men of taking refuge in silence" or pleading
generally mot guilty. when charged with public
ohenses, will not go down. The people demand
the facts, and will insist on a rebuttal of the
charges by circumstantial disproof and the
prosecution of the Iibeler lit need be) in tho
public courts.
Fifth-That the system of nominating MEM
bers OF Congress by the conferee, or delegate,
system is bad, and should be changed to one
which would nominate by popular vote at the
primaries 1.-THE Crawford county system) Penn
through the squabbles engendered by this sys-
TEN. And, lastly,
Sixth-That when the people take hold of the
elections they can always accomplish their
wishes; and that the reason why we do not have
good government all the time is because peo-
pie will not take the trouble to work for it.

Tobacco Raising Practically Prohibited.

Tobacco Raising Practically Prohibited.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
In THE DISPATCH of last Saturday 1 SUBJ
mitted this question: why does Great Britain
prohibit the cultivation of tobacco under
penalty of fine and imprisonment?, and your
answer was: "She don't prohibit it. The only
reason why Great Britain does not cultivate
the tobacco plant is because it does not grow
there" The question was asked to settle a
dispute. and when your answer was read be-
fore the meeting" full house being present.
the laugh was on me, and my only alternative
was to set 'em up" Not being satisfied, how
ever, procured a volume of the Britannica"
and therein read the following:
''SInce the time of Charles II. the growth of
tobacco in England has been practically pro-
hibited, the original legislative enactment
to that effect having been passed with the view
of encouraging trade with the young colony of
Virginia. When that motive ceased TO have
force the supposed difficulties of collecting the
internal taxation still influenced the LegiSla-
ture to continue their prohibition. and conse-
uuently penalty or prOhibitive tax equal to
Fl, 800 per acre is exgible on the cultivation of
tobacco in the United Kingdom"

last? NJ. E. \.

Balfour gives his emissaries will find its
way into American pockets. But surely the
maintenance of an army of spies is not
worthy of constitutional government, even
though it be of the Tory stripe. The En-
giish people seem to be getting very tired of
the Tory would-be tyrants, anyhow, and
doubtless this spy department. with head
quarters at Dublin Castle, will be exposed
and abolished as soon as Mr.. Gladstone re-
turns to office; an event that cannot much
longer be delayed.

A GOOD deal of Republican money is
jinging in Democratic pockets, and a great
many men are convinced TOR the nonce that
betting on elections is very foolish business.
1t would be well if the winners as well as the
losers were to understand what a thoroughly
vicious and disrepurable practice much of this
betting is. The law nominally frowns upon it.
but owing to a lax enforcement the custom of
wagering on the result of elections practically
carries no penalty. 1t has undoubtedly the eff
feet in many cases Of downright bribery, nd
some sterner check upon it ought to be devised.

A Gravity Puzzle.

To the Editor of The Dispatch
On account of the world being round, we are
told. explains why we can always see the top
masts of ship first when the ship is coming

level by rolling out level on the globe?

Hin physics, we must regard the word 'level"
as meaning that every part of the waters sur
face is equi-distant from the center of the
earth, which is the center of gravity. Hence
'Iever' in this sense means not a geometrically
straight plane but curve conforming to the
circumference of the earth.l
