Call, the Times tomorrow will say:
Robert E. Pattison is not the man TO be trined
with when desperate political leaders or organs
assail his public integrity, as he proved ny tne
promptness with which he instituted Grlminal
libel suits against the editors of the inquirer
and North american to day. The man VINO
wants to turn on the light had better monkey
with some other candidate than Pattison; ne ne
is for turning on the light all the time and
when others want to cloud his public lntegrlIv
by falsehood he sets the commendable example
to Delamater of forcing his accusers into tne
temple of justice. Turn on the light
The Record will say:
There is nothing in this South Penn story

last card, played in the hope 20 accomplish ny
Vllllncation what could not be done by nonest
opposition. But what boomerang it's! A
more clever scheme could not have been de-
Vlsed by the worst enemy of the Repuohcan
candidate to set over against his weakness and
cowardice the fearless integrity and honest
manliness of his Democratic opponent. On,

Mr.. d. Herbert Hostetter was visited bv
a DISPATCH reporter last evening and
asked what he knows of the story. He re-
piled:
Il only became identified with the South
Penn after my fathers death and, of course,
know nothing of this, 1 never heard 1T
talked of, but If there was anything In the
story l would have heard of it. guess it
is only campaign story"
Mr.. Ralph Bagaley was also seen on the
subject, but refused to say anything one
way or the other. 81 am no politician" he
said, land don't want to be quoted on the
question. L once said 1 would never again
talk about South Penn and L have kept my
word pretty religiously."

''New York is known the wide world over," says the Herald, ''and everything she undertakes comes to an enviable con- clusion. Chicago has yet to make her reputation abroad. This is her chance, however, and we hope she will meet with no mischance. To that end we carefully lend our aid and put our shoulders close to hers." 'That her people" says the Tribune, ''are competent to create and sustain noble and magnificent display of our national arts and industries we have not the slightest doubt. Our fear is that Chicago is debarred by her geographical position from achieving much more than this. But we sincerely hope that we have underestimated her powers of attraction. If whatever obstacles still remain in the way of her honorable ambition shall be overcome, New York will do her full share in making the great enterprise upon which all eyes are fixed splendid and incompar able triumph" eff fair shall be held in Chicago in 1s92," says the World, "let us all do what we can to make it worthy ol our great republic. The undertaking vii need all the encouragement that it can se cure along the seaboard." And these are sample utterances.

A party of Mormon missionaries, who are at present engaged in proselyting campaign in London and other parts of Great Britain, had lively time of it in East London. They began meeting and large crowd collected. The Mormons were listened to with attention for time, but presently irreverent remarks began to be heard. A member of the anti Mormon league reminded the crowd that not very long ago young woman, one of their number, who had been induced to emi- grats by Mormon missionaries, had re- turned to her mothers home, shoeless and starving, with two little children, having tramped the whole distance from Liver pool. He produced the young woman in question. This excited the crowd, who groaned and hooted. Mud and other re- fuse were thrown at the unlucky Mormons Their clothing was torn, their hats were knocked in, and they were otherwise mal- treated. Finally they sought refuge in a cab and were driven rapidly away.

N. Y. Tribune The largest book that has ever been made will be sent to Albany in few days to be presented to the legis- lature. It is the petition of the voters of this city for the ballot reform bill intro duced in the senate by Charles T. Saxton, The book will have over 40,000 names when completed and be the largest petition that has ever been gotten up or presented to legislative body. The getting of the names and the signatures was the work of the New York Ballot Reform League. which is now under the management of Oliver Sumner Teall. Next to this peti- ton in the number of signatures was that prepared by the friends of Henry George, who wanted him to become the labor can- didate for mayor of New York in 1887. This petition had 35,O0O signatures, but the ballot reform petition exceeded that number on Saturday. The book will have about 200O pages, which are over two feet square and will be over four feet in thick
 ness. It will weigh 1000 pounds and will take half dozen men to carry it. To bind this book is task that has greatly worried the man who took the contract to do it.

The latest case of carelessness in the use of pistol with lamentable results is re- ported from Indiana, where man spent an hour in teaching his nephew, lad, how to handle a revolver, which was empty at the time. After the boy had gone to bed, the owner of the revolver loaded it and laid it away. The boy awoke first in the morning, found the revolver, aimed it at his uncle's head and pulled the trigger, instantly killing the sleeping man. The case is g sad one, though the boy is not chargeable with the folly usually exhibited in cases of didn't 't-knoW-it-was-loaded.

Hartford Courant: In the lively tussle in the house of representatives over the location of the worlds fair, Chicago comes ont ahead. It took eight ballots to reach 8 majority and result, but Chicago got there finally Gin her own vigorous meta phor) with both feet. Consequently Tues day night was great night in Chicago. When the news of the surrender of Fort Donelson arrived, one of the magistrates of that exuberant city promptly adjourned court with the, remark that he would make it his business to fine any man not thoroughly and periodically drunk by 9 o'clock that evening. Probably no Chica- go judge went that far yesterday; other times, other manners. But it may be as- sumed that the breezy capital of the lakes felt very happy indeed over the news and expressed her joy in appropriate ways. She had earned her victory in the house by hard work. Months before New York got down to bushes, Chicago was already as busy as beaver, r,-circulating litera- ture, urging arguments, button -holing congressman, and pledging votes. She has right to little celebrating over the result. It does not follow, however, that Chicago is to have the worlds fair. The senate is> still to vote. More likely than not it will vote for some other city-NeW York, for instance. That will mean g committee of conference, with all the pos abilities and uncertainties which such g consideration of the question de 'sovo in
 wolves. Indeed, it is not yet quite certain that there is to be worlds fair in 189s for New York or Chicago, or any other American city to entertain and exploit
 The final word as to that is still to bs spoken, and good many citizens are pro foundly skeptical on the subject.

The break of the Walnut Grove dam in Arizona appears to have been the most thorough break of the kind ever known. Not even vestige of the dam remains, and the vast body of water behind it went out in one hour. It only needed popu- lation similar in size to that of Johnstown to have had repetition of that disaster. Fortunate indeed that this dam was in a new country, sparsely settled. As it is the latest reports put the loss of life at 124.

The Chicago Daily News announces that so far as the Chicago subcommittee on site and general plans can decide the quea- tion, the location of the fair is settled.
 The scheme provides for widening the Lake Front Park out into the lake, from 500 to l, zoo feet. This will give 200 acres for the exhibition buildings, promenades, depot, etc. The Illinois Central railroad tracks, now skirting the waters edge, are to be lowered below grade and covered with grass plot, as permanent improve ment. The proposition will increase five times the space of Lake Front Pe-k, and provide the largest park in the world lo- cated in the very center of great city. The site, as outlined, is just twenty-two acres larger than the grounds of the Paris exposition. The Lake Front is the focus of the street car lines, and is on belt-line railway that crosses every railroad track entering Chicago. The site also has direct water communication with all points on the great lakes and all foreign ports whose shipping can pass through the Welland canal. A grand central railway unior passenger depot is designed to be erected at the foot of Madison street on the lakt front.

Quicksand is composed chiefly of small particles of mica mixed largely with water. The mica is so smooth that the fragments slip upon each other with the greatest facil- ity, so that any heavy body which displaces them will sink and continue to sink until g of sand are ragged and angular any weight pressing on them will crowd them together until they are competed into solid mass. A sand composed of mica or soapstone, when mixed with sufficient water, seems incapable of such consolidation.

That HlmSy work IS nowhere more dan- gerous than in the construction of reser- voirs has been once more demonstrated by the breaking of dam in Arizona, and the destruction of many lives and millions of dollars worth of property. The explana- tion is, as usual, that the dam was improp- erly built. At time when the advocates of great schemes of irrigation are appeal ing to the country in favor of enormous water basins, wherein the overflow of moun- tain streams can be held for use in the ir- rigating season, this incident will produce bad impression.
 The state board of agriculture's report says that during the past year the number of sheep killed in 106 towns was 1719. while 26 other towns fail to give the num- Der, but place the damage by canines at $2083. The damages paid by the towns in the state for the loss of sheep amount to $10, ,286, and for the loss of cattle S636. There are 31, ,7s5 licensed dogs of both sexes in the state, paying in all S41, ,1O1. but the number of unlicensed dogs is great. The farmers do not think that this income pays for the loss of sheep. Flocks are of ten ruined and farmers are discouraged, All citizens of the state share his loss from the Encouragement of the sheep industry.
