POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

Wanamaker Sanguine of Its Adoption by
the Next Congress. /.
WASHINGTON Oct 2O.-The postmaster
general. it is said, has not abandoned the
hope that he may be successful with his
postal telegraph scheme in the coming oon
gress, notwithstanding his experience in
tho last. He ia said to be of the opinion
that the very large third party element may
be inclined to look with favor upon the
plan. and that he may look for more a2gres-
sive opponents of the existing telegraph
monopolies than there we're to be found in
the last congress. At all events, so far as can
be asCertained, the recommendations which
the acknowledgement will mako upon this
subject in his forthcoming annual report
will much resemble those which are con-
tanned in the report of last yehr. Senator
Cullom is understood to have bill upon
this subject, to which he will apply Bomo of
the authority which he had given to the
Interstate commerce legislation. The bill
of Senator Cullom provides for ten trunk
lines, embracing all the cities of the states
and territories; that the lines shall be con-
structcd by the army engineer corps, under
the direction of the secretary OF war. ON
iron poles, with capacity for twelve wires,
and shall, when completed, be trans
ferred to tho control of the postmaster
general; that the secretary of war shall.
If he deems it expedient, take possession
of lines now used for military purposes,
as portion of this federal system. The
rates to be charged arc 10 cents for twenty
words under 800 hundred miles. and five
cents additional for each additional ten
words, and for distance grhster than 800
miles an additional rate Of ave cents for
ench $50 miles. Press night rates are to be
35 cents per 100 words. The office of direc-
tor-general OF telegraph is created, the APP
pointment to be made as is that of an as
sistant postmaster general. with like salary.
The appointee must be practical telegraph
man OF at least ten years experience. The
postm astsr general will rerort to congress
tho best methods Of organization at the be-
ginning of the first session OF congress
after the passage of the not.

The refusal of the National Camp O
the Patriotic Order Sons of America las
week to strike out the word white
from the qualification clause in theil
constitution has subjected the organiza
ton to much unfavorable comment
This word was inserted at the Boston
convention in August, 1890, and the
delegates from Pennsylvania and adjoin-
ing States went to Philadelphia intend
ing to make determined effort to have
it eliminated, thereby placing the Ameri-
can negro upon an equal footing with his
white fellow-citizens. The South and
West, however, were arrayed against
them, and as it requires a four-fifths
vote to change the constitution, they
were defeated, the ballot standing 60 to
"a in favor of the motion. In this
vicinity the question did not attract SO
| much attention as in other parts, princi-
pally Philadelphia, where a camp COM
posed wholly of negroes exits, and where
there are several colored men scattered
through the numerous branches of the
order.
The negroes of that city were relying
upon this last convention to recognize
their race, and others, too, regret very
much that society protesting American
ism should draw the color line in their
membership applications. The verdict
was received with general disappoint-
ment in this State, and does not place
the Sons in the very best light, coming,
as it does, so soon after similar test in
the G. A. R., and in direct opposition to
the position taken by the veterans. The
fact that the society bears a patriotic
name, and never misses an opportunity
to show that it is intensely American,
invites public criticism more so than the
same action would in any other secret
organization. Following are few com
ments on the question:
Phtld. Press-The Sons of America have
shown themselves unworthy of that name by
their refusal to obiterate the color line in their
organization. 1t is too late in the century to
bar colored men out of an organization pro-
Tossing to exist only for patriotic purposes
Edston Express. The society goes so far as to
hoist flag on every school house. Hence the
public are somewhat disappointed to hear that
the society excludes from membership a class
of citizens who are and have good reason for
being among the most patriotic in the land
Phild. RecOrd.-The Sons of America, who
ever they may be, have voted to take theirs
without color. There may be u white mans
Republican party yet.
PhNd. Inqldrer.-Has the p. o. S. of A. for
gotten that all the colored men now in this
country are native AmerlcansP
Phttd. Ttmes.-It is idle to criticse the Patri-
otic Sons of America for doing even what
everybody confesses to be grotesquely ncon-
slstent, when everybody else and every other
organization practically kicks the negro out
and refuses to have him on apy terms what
ever, excepting in menial positions and when
his vote is wanted for his party. The Patriotic
Sons of America have simply fallen into the
general swim in deciding that they don't want
the negro in their patriotic fellowship.

UPON the reassembling of Parlia-
ment there will be introduced in that
body some very radical measures,
which their authors think will ameli-
crate the ills of the laboring element.
In a recent interview Mr.. Gladstone
speaks upon the subject, and while he
does not commit himself or wish to be
understood as favoring all the pro-
posed remedies, he announces that he
will give his unreserved support to
those bills which "will bring local
government to the door of the people
and give them freer access to the use
OF land" The land question is max
ing wonderful strides in England and
many of the brightest statesmen in
the Liberal party have pronounced in
favor Of Georges theories. 1t is safe
to state that before another decade
landlordism in that country will be
abolished-and with it will 90 the
shackles of labor.

To DO justice to the Republican
bosses they deserve the thanks of
every honest voter in Luzerne County
for their defeat of AL. Darte's Judicial
aspirations. A man of his calibre is
unfit to pose as an opponent of Judge
Lynch, and machine candidate is
preferable at any time to political
trickster who is incapable of perform
ing the duties of his present position.
OF course it was not on these grounds
that Darte was defeated, as they
showed by their nomination of Nc
Cartney, who is still lower in the es.
timation of the people than Darte.
The public is spared the sight of
contest between an eminent jurist
and grasping politician, thanks to
the Republican machine.

A GENERAL boom along the Repubh-
can line has been commenced for Pow
derly's candidacy to the Constitution
al Convention. But there is no boom
for the convention. The G. o. P.
leaders will attend to the defeating Of
that, yet they think by praising the
General Master Workman they can
hoodwink Knights and carry the State
with a sweep. They have overdone
the game this time, and Powderly or
any other labor mogul can't deliver
the workingmen's vote to the Repub-
lican party. People are generally
judged by their company, and certain
so-called labor leaders are not in the
best just now.

THERE are too many newspaper edi-
tors who regard the candidates of
their respective parties as idols which
they are in duty bound to worship.
Papers which proclaim the worst
Democrat as good as the best Repub
hcan, or vice ce,'sa, betray that lack
of independence so essential to every
publication. In referring to the New
York Gubernatorial contest the
Speaker says that if the bosses nomi-
nate one of their ilk in opposition to
the prospective Republican candidate,
Andrew G. White, it hopes to see
White win. SO does the TRIBUNE.
When Democrats set up the worst
clements Of their party against honest
Republicans, and pass by deserving
candidates, they cannot expect to be
upheld by the Independent journals
of their party, even though the latter
are defenders of Democratic princi.
pies. This applies to Luzerne County
as well as New York.

is in session at Harrisburg today.
The most prominent candidates men.
toned are Robert E. Wright, Of Allen
town, for Auditor General, and A. L..
Tilden, of Erie, present Deputy Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth, for State
Treasurer. Other names are men
toned, but these are credited with
having the best prospects of being the
nominees. The platform, it is stated,
will be confined strictly to issues con-
cerning the State, and if this policy is
adhered to the Democrats have an I'M

SCIENCE has advanced another step,
if the report of the rain-makers can
be relied upon. The recent expert
ments made by General Dyrenfurth,
who had charge of the tests, seem to
prove conclusively that it is possible
to obtain some control of the ele-
ments. Rain has been produced at
any desired time and in any quantity
by a method of systematic explosions
of dynamite in the air. The next
thing to be done will be the placing
of the wind under lock and key,

times as the weather man may decide.

The following is an account of the
longest game on record, taken from the
Denver Neecs!: The game was played on
July Is between the Grand Forks and
Fargo teams, at DEVILS Lake, South
Dakota. This game is not only the
longest on record but is still more note
worthy for the fact that not run was
scored during the twenty-five innings,
and that several more innings might
have been played had not the umpire
called the game in order to enable the
teams to take train. Ten double plays
were made in the game. Raymer,
pitcher for Fargo, threw 40l balls, and
Gibbs, of the Grand Forks team, 459
balls, making total of $50 balls thrown
from pitcher to catcher. Sixteen hits
were made of Gibbs, and ten of Raymer.
The Fargo Club had four errors, and the
Grand Forks seven. Seventeen of the
Fargo players struck out, while twenty
of their opponents did the same. Thirty
one men were left on bases and it re-
quired four hours and ten minutes to
play this remarkable game.
