THE POINT.

1t is we'll to keep the point in mind.
The fact that a man has wealth is not
an objection to his being elected senator
or given high place. Under the repub-
lican system there is absolute political
equality, and the possession of property
does not disQualify man to hold Office.
HoRATIo SEYMOUR and SAMUEL j.
TILDEN were men of large wealth, and
yet no one deemed either less worthy
to support or less likely to administer
public affairs wisely and for the gen
eral good. Where wealth is acquired in
honorable business methods, its extent
is not matter of public concern. OBJ
lection arises, however, when one is
selected for high and responsible station
simply because he IS rich, and still
more vehement should be the antago-
nism if money is used to advance the
ambition of its possessor. But, other
things being equal, the popular dispo-
sition is to prefer the man who has not
large possessions.

NOAH'S FLOOD.

The question as to the universally of
the flood in which NOAH and his house
hold were deemed the exclusive sur
vivorS was adverted to in one of the
city pulpits yesterday in explanation of
the position held that modern thought
and intelligence had outgrown the old
view. This had seemed to some of the
slow-paced as bearing away from the
faith of the fathers. 1t was insisted
that If the integrity of the ancient
picture depended upon the confidence
or affidavits of the clergy of this city,
there would be similar issue to that of
the perverse twin city LOT was forced
to migrate from. 1t would be an euor-
nous waste of water to food the whole
earth in order to drown the people of a
few sections, while the bulk of it was
not occupied. This, however. requires
some assumption, as the data as to the
condition OF things about that time in
most parts of the world are rather mea-
ger. 1t may be remarked that the Old
Testament writers made no claims to
know much more about geography than
other learned people of their times and
localities. That there was a tremen-
douS flood in some ancient time is not
questioned, but if it had been universal
the difficulty is believed to be insuper-
able to account for the immense and
dense populations and distinction of
faces soon found scattered over the
world. The theories that the Chinese
and some other Asiatic people, and per-
the waters, date back to that era, are
believed to be plausible. Theologians
quite generally are reconeiled to the
view that the six days of creation
were vast eras, and not literal
days; but there has been re-
luctance to allow any reconstruction
of the narrative of the deluge. There
is special repugnance in the mind that
reverences antiquities, particularly in
the religious range, to admit the icono-
clasr, whatever his credentials. 1t is
doubtful if he adds to the brightness
and serenity of life. He mars the pict-
ures of the dove, the ark and the bound
less waters that young eyes have rested
upon in the catechisms. But, as prac-
tical matter, it is quite as immaterial as
to the extent of the big deluge as
is the location of the Land OF
Nod in the Adamic era. No special in
centiye to right living or high civiliza-
ton is found in those twilight periods,
and no valuable religious truth is ever
impaired by letting all the modern illu-
limitations fall upon the obscure things
of the ancient time.

NO PERMANENT CHANGE.

Gen. GREE ELY is the head of the
American weather system, and his au-
thority is recognized as the highest. He
comes now with report that sets aside
the scheme of subordinate to have the
weather permanently modified by an
expansion of the gulf stream toward
the American coast, GREEDY decides
that the gulf stream has nothing to do
with the mild temperature. 1t has been
eccentric, but there is nothing sectional
about it. The average of the country
has been ten degrees or so higher than
the normal state. There is satisfac-
is but casual freak, and there is to
be no innovation upon the win
tiers Of the fathers. A material
change in the conditions of the
atmosphere in any part of the
country would involve serious conse-
duences. All the arrangements of bust
ness and life have in view well-dehned
degrees of heat or cold, and measurably
of moisture. The transfer of the cli-
mate of Florida to Minnesota would be
as revolutionary of the adjustments of
things as the sending of a Northern
winter to the land of perennial flowers.
GREELT has doubtful theories about
the decrease of rainfall having some re-
lation to the mild winter; but as the
East has the mild weather and an eX-
cess of rain, difficulty arises that will
be left to the weather service to solve.
1t is sufficient to know that the good old
winters are TO be on duty again, just as
in the DaSt.

REVISED BY FRIENDS.

The representations made to the
house committee that is supposed to be
learning how to reform the tariff sug-
gest that the assumed object of the leg
islation is to enlarge the profits of indi-
viduals engaged in business. They I'M
derStand that the tariff is a machine to
enable them to charge their neighbors
more for the goods they manufacture.
All want those content with smaller
profits to be kept from coming in COM
petition with them. They guess about
figures that will exclude the others.
There is no question that they must be
protected. That is what they put their
money into the campaign for. The
committee only wants to know what
prices they want for their articles. If
there are any farmers there, they are not
showing how they can get larger
prices for their productions by virtue of
tariff. The people who do the work,
and exc out q not at all magnificent
support by their toll, are not heard ex-
planning how it will make living easier
for them to have additional prices put
upon their clothing ana effects. The
plain people who buy are no: being
asked what they can afford to pay for
the manufactured articles they are
forced to use. The men whose pockets
are to be lined by special fostering are

THE WIRE DANGER.

While the overhead wire is to be
placed in the streets, it is of
interest to know the opinion of
experts as to its perils. The Electric.
Age has interviewed fifteen electricians.
Their views are about as variable as the
parties interrogated, and some of them
Directly antagonistic. 1t is somewhat
assuring to note that the prevalent ex-
preston is rather favorable to the be-
lief that reasonable immunity from dis
aSter can be had from the overhead
wires, so far-as the electric current is
concerned. 1t is true, one asserts, that
neither Overhead wires nor any wire
can be made perfectly safe, under all
conditions, when conveying high poten-
tialS," but Prof. ELIHU THOMSON
thinks that with proper precaution the
overhead wires can be made to obyiate
all serious peril to life.
