1T WAS CERTAINLY WARM.

For once we agree with the Thermometer.
Its dictum that yesterday was the hottest day
of the yea, was reflected in faces shining
with perspiration everywhere. Later on the
nineties may become tolerably familiar, but
91.7o for the present is as high as the dizzy
eve cares to follow the climbing mercury. 1t
was hotter yesterday than on any day last
June, and within degree and half of the
highest heat mark of 1889. Everybody
growls at the weather, though last year the
complaint was that our old-fashioned sum-
mer heat had ceased to appear at the old
stand. The chances are we shall have hot
summer to make up for the broken lots OF
weather we have had of late years. The best
way is to take it calmly, avoid cucumbers
and other choleraic pitfalls, and find cool
place if you can.

POSSIBILITIES ABOUT pATTIsoN.

1t is some comfort to know that the
Democracy of Allegheny county will send
a majority of its delegates to the Scranton
convention instructed for Ex-Governor Patti
son. Probably sixteen out of twenty-one
delegates will vote for the Philadelphia can
didate. Ordinarily the nominating of a
Democratic candidate for Governor is not a
very interesting event in this State. 1t re-
sembles an expedition to the North Pole too
oiten-it never gets there. But this year
the Democrats have some reason to expect
an exception to the rule. They will do
wisely to put forward their best man. By
tonight probably good many Republicans
will know whether the nomination of the
Hon. Robert E. Pattison is or is not mat
ter of considerable concern to them. There
fore we repeat, it is a comfort to know that
the Pattison party has won the fight here.

AoUARTER OF A MILLION.

At last Pittsburg knows how many of her
citizens have been counted by the census
takers. 1t might sound better to say that
her population is known. but that would
not be accurate. Supervisor Oliver
saws that 240, 600 heads have been counted.
Further returns will swell the figures to a
quarter of a million probably. These are
respectable figures, but they are not quite as
large as we hoped they would be. In 1880
Pittsburg included 156, ,3S9 souls within her
borders. The increase is at the rate of sixty
five per cent. The toGal may prove greater
when the returns are all in and have been
tested. We have to remember what bank
president enforces on our financial page to-
day, that great many of our citizens have
their homes in the suburban towns which
are clustered about Pittsburg. Still a
quarter of a million is good start toward
half million in 1900. Remember that.

THE DAY AT HARRISBURG.

Ante-conyention reports paint rather
more the hopes and fears of the candidates
and their hackers than the operation OF the
mind of Senator Quay, who reposes In the
cool and quiet OF Beaver, and who has not
vet unburdened himself to a reporter.
But the adyices from Harrisburg are
nevertheless full Of interest. They show in
operation at least three booms for candi-
dates which are inspired by personal at
tachment to and public regard for the men.
The hearty backing of Hastings, Montooth
and Stone rests on this foundation. The
advices. however, indicate also that not
withstanding the strength and popularity
of Hastings, Montooth and Stone, and re-
gardless that these three have majority Of
the delegates pledged among them, it con-
tinues to be Delamater who most ardently
expects by the grace alone of his political
connections to carry off the prize.
II the Senator at Beaver chose, he could
even now, before the convention gathered,
make very shrewd guess at the head of the
ticket. There is a vociierous tendency to
assume that Quay means to stand by Dela-
mater, in spite of the opposition, and take
all the risks and chances a campaign for
which the Democrats, in the hope of just
that contingency. are already preparing
with unwonted hope and activity. But
ere are several hours yet before the vote
comes of; the Senator has a special wire;
and until the conclusive ballot is announced,
those who give him credit for the greatest
shrewdness, and Sho fancy that the prospect
of big and eager victory in November
should please him better than hard-fought
and doubtful struggle for Delamater against
foes within and without, will not part
wholly with the belief that Hastings, Mon
tooth or Stone may yet be named.
As for the various combinations that are
pictured by last nights rumors as possible,
they are dazzling and beautiful to contem-
plate; but they mostly belong to Senator
Ingalls, celebrated classification of irrides-
cent and evanescent dreams. 1t is the
''feld'' against Delamater. Whatever the
ticket, patchwork which tries to combine
the two opposing forces can add no real
strength.

of the deaf and dumb asylum at Edgewood

conveys the disproof of the assertion. The
worlds valuation OF silver is at present
about so per cent of that of gold. IF the
Argentine Republics currency system was
on silver basis therefore the premium on
gold could not be over 25 per cent. The
monetary system of that country, however,
is on the basis of an irredeemable paper cur
rency; and on the statement of the gold pre-
MUM it is probable that silver at the same
ratio OF coinage as in this country would be
at a premium of about hundred per cent.
The premium on gold which would be es-
tablished in this country by unlimited sill
yer coinage would not be over 25 per cent If
silveB should retain its present bullion
value. But the iucreased use of silver
would doubtless advance its bullion value
somewhat. If our coinage could control the
entire silver market it would advance to
about par with gold. As it controls but
two-ffths of it, it is probable that the pre-
MUM on gold that would be established by
a measure like the Senate bill would be In
the neighborhood of 10 per cent.

THE TOPICAL TALKER,

Hot Weather Always Afllcts the Republican
Party In ConventIou--The Trials and
joys Of Harrisburg-An Unconventional
Convention-A FIippant sally.
IT seems to be the fate of the Republican
party to strike frightfully hot weather
when it meets in convention. The hottest week
that have ever experienced, and the hottest ]
expect to encounter in this world, was that in
which the Republican National Convention
was held in 1888 at Chicago. Harrisburg is an
awfully hot place anyhow in the summer, and
the delegates will find the Opera House very
fair substitute for the fiery part of Turkish
bath.
But if Harrisburg is a warm spot it has some
alleviating circumstances. There is some ex-
cellent beer to be had over various select bars;
they know how to keep it cool in Harrisburg.
As to the whisky on general and special princi-
Piles, would counsel the visitors to turn their
eyes from it. The High Spire whisky. which
is usually drunk in Harrisburg may have lots
of desirable qualities-the natives swear by 1t
but 1t requires long education to fit man for
swallowing much of it. One session of the
Legislatu ture is not enough, a rule, to train a
man to daily on equal terms with the red liquor
which flows abundantly in the State capital

joyous occasion to the large audience that
packed the handsome little hall. as well as to
the pupils who received the prizes. The pro-
gramme was rather q lengthy one. but con-
tanned so many interesting features that, with
few exceptions the audience remained until
the close, though the atmosphere was of the
bake-oven degree of heat One of the prettiest
things was the operetta. Red Riding Hood"

The to Sering palms upon the pulpit platform
mingled their wavy branches with those OF the

the audience were being seated by ushers,
Messrs. w. X. Brown, Charles Dean,
Thomas Nicely, Edward Fuller. Joseph
Mahon and George Rose, exquisite
melody foated through the leafy screen and
burst into a joyous march that signaled the ap-
proach of the bridal party. The ushers
traversed first the whlte crashed aisle, and
then two little flower girls, Marie and Carrie
Rose, in lovely white dresses, carrying dainty
French baskets filled with pink roses, made
their appearance, after which came the maid
of honor Miss Sadie Mccullough. gowned in
thin ETHEREAL material, and following her the
bride leaning upon the arm of the groom, and
presenting most dazzling vision of beauty in
her elegant bridal attire of heavy white satin,
cut decollette and trained to extreme length. A
wedding veil of cobweb texture enveloped the
entire person of the fair bride and concealed
the face also until after the wedding VOWS were
taken, when the maid of honor very prettily
folded 1t back, exposing the interesting face
and the cleaning diamond pendant upon the
white neck, worn out of compliment to the
groom, whose bridal gift IL was.
Immediately after the services at the church

where an informal reception was held and an
elaborate feast served by Kennedy before the
young couple departed for their honeymoon
trip. that will extend into August and include
visit to all of the leading cities in the East.
The presents were displayed in room
especially delegated to their reception, and
were of the kind and number that would please
the most fastidious bride, proving that the
grace and charms of mind possessed by the
young lady are thoroughly appreciated by
large circle of acquaintances and friends who.
in her long residence with her aunt, Mrs. Dick
inson. have learned to know her.
The groom is young gentleman Of sterling
worth, both in the business world, to which he
is practically young, and in the social world of
which he is q favorite. Congratulations and
best wishes were showered upon the young
couple.

POLITICS WITHOUT CONVICTIONS.

A remarkable question of political moral
ity is raised in the criticisms, by partisan
Democrats, OF the course of the thirteen
Democratic members of the House who voted
against the assault which the free coinage
interests made on Speaker Reeds reference
of the silver bill. These thirteen Democrats
were opposed to free coinage; they thought
the Speakers reference the correct one; and
they voted in accordance with their views.
But the partisan idea is that they ought to
have Joined the rush to carry the free coin
age measure in order TO ''put the Republi-
can party in hole" by forcing the Presi-
dent to veto the measure.
This is the latest, but by no means the
only, example OF the idea which rules in ma
chine politics that the representatives of the
people are to be guided in their votes. not by
their convictions of what is for the interests
of the people, but by the dictate of party
malice. There is no necessity of settling the
rights and wrongs of the silver question in
this connection. Members who believe that
free coinage is the right policy are justified
in supporting it. But here is an allegation
that men who do not believe in that policy
are TO throw their convictions to the winds,
and join their partisan associates in an at
tempt to carry measure that they think is
wrong, on the supposition that they can thus
injure the opposing party. The stupidity oi
partisauship dictation appears In the fact
that. if the anti-silver Democrats are right
the people who would be ''put in hole" are
those who carried by their votes an injuri
Gus measure. The partisan theory is that Tho
individual convictions of public men and th'
interests of the people are not worthy OF con-
