THE LAST CLOUD CoMPELLER.

1t may be of interest to the rainmakers
to learn that new means of procuring
the rainfall has been discovered in Paris.
1t is nothing less than the Eiffel Tower.
At least that is the allegation that now
comes from the French capital That
lofty structure is alleged to produce cleo
trical disturbances which have changed
the climate of Paris. The conclusion has
a strong flavor of the old farmer who tes-
titled before a committee investigating the
dangers to navigation on the Goodwin
sands, that he thought they must be due
to Tenterden church steeple When he
was boy there was no steeple there, and
he did not remember so many wrecks; but
since the steeple was built there had been
great many. Therefore, he was certain
that Tenterden church steeple was the
cause of the trouble. The Partisan logic
is largely on the same model The Eiffel
Tower was built before Paris had a rainy
season or two; ergo: the Eiffel Tower is
rain producer.
We do not know why this logic is not
entitled to as much respect as the applica-
ton of the same severely strained syllog-
ism to the rain-making enterprises of this
country, especially when as in the Mel
bourne wizardry the obstinate rains fail to
make good the promises. Eiffel towers
are undoubtedly expensive rain-producing
implements; but when one is built it goes
right on doing its work, subject to the dis
advantage of producing rain when it is not
wanted as when it is. This latter consid-
Grafton should induce the Chicago enter
prise to hold its Eiffel Towers in reserve
unless something additional is needed to
moisten the Exposition. From present
statements of the capital needed in that
concern, we should say that anything in
the line of further water privileges would
be wholly SupererOpatory

''E. A. Mosley. Secretary:
"MY DEAR SIR-I have had within the last

AN UNPRoFITABLE CARD.

The wreck of that attempt to make
dramatic capital out of the unsavory repu-
tation of the Mann woman in one of the
scandals of the past year is an encourag-
ing proof that theatrical taste is not to be
caught simply by the exploitation of scan
dal. There is a certain element in the
dramatic profession of so low level as to
suppose that an exhibition of indecency
will attract the public. But the failure of
the Mann show, which traded simply on
the bad reputation of its alleged star, and
of "The Clemenceau Case" which sought
to make hit by daring personal expos
ure, prove the contrary. 1t would be
futile to claim that the stage, or any other
profession, is superior to having bad char
acters in the ranks of its profession, or
even that some actors with questionable
records are not more or less successful
But the examples referred to convey the
comfortable assurance that bad reputa-
ton has got to have some dramatic quail
ties back of it, to reach dramatic success.
The people who put their money into dra-
matte enterprises simply on the advertise
ment of notorious scandal will always
undergo the well-deserved punishment of
losing their money.

PRIMITIVE BooKkEEPISG.

In the past, one of the stock arguments
against the consolidation of Pittsburg and
Allegheny was loose and extravagant
financiering on this side of the river. But
since the days of the old Water Commits
sion, when Pittsburg bonds were thrown
around like waste paper in some of the
City Hall offices, nothing has developed
here to equal the single entry bookkeeping
which is now being exploited in the Allie
gheny City government Market Clerk
Hastings style of accounting is evidently
of the most primitive type, Yet, there ap-
pears to have been no check upon him in
the Controllers Office, and the reason as
signed is want of clerical help. The
happy-go-lucky system seems, however, to
have its compensation when the City
Fathers are gravely informed, as they were
Tuesday night, that the treasury has $780,
900 more than it was believed to have.
Bookkeeping at PittSburg City Hall in
eXorably follows the course of events and
expenditures; and the result is nearly
always deficiency, never an unexpected
surplus At this time when a considera-
BILE shortage is threatened in Pittsburgs
appropriations for the current year it
would be most agreeable surprise if
discovery were to be made like that which

FAssETT STRONG AND WEAK.

j. Sloat Fassett, Collector of the Port of
New York, has been nominated for Gov
ernor by the New York State Republican
Convention. Mr.. Fassett is man of con-
siderable ability and of fascinating personal
qualities, and it is believed that there is
much of promise in his future. His
strength in the convention, however, was
largely derived from the influence of the
machine, and it is altogether likely that
his weakness at the polls will be attributa-
BILE to the same source. Prior to his nomi-
nation he was opposed by the anti-machine
wing of the party, which believed him to
be the representative of one who was said
to be ''the most prominent disciple and
most efficient lieutenant of the worst polit-
ical leader who ever engineered defeat for
great party"
A great many New York Republicans
have been getting more and more in the
habit of being crowded out, and
it is unfortunate for Mr.. Fassett that
at this time he should be placed at
the head of his ticket through the infu-
ence of the machine With party tickets
headed by White and Flower, the cam
paign would have been battle between
brains and Doodle, but it seems that New
York Republicans were not prepared for
so radical step.

The reports of the grain movement show
that the large outflow of grain for expor-
tation TO be expected from our abundant
crops and the sharp demand for our
products in Europe is already in opera
ZION. The receipts of grain at New York
for the last half of August were over two
and half times as great as last year; at
Philadelphia ten times as large, and at
Baltimore nearly seven times as large.
The total for the three ports is 1868 car
loads against 3.262 carloads for the same
period last year, an increase of about 300
per cent
Besides the gratifying commercial as
poets of the proof that the United States is
promptly taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to market its surplus of breadstuffs
at good prices and is sending European
nations their much needed supplies, these
figures are significant as showing the utter
emptiness of that silly scheme for raising
the price of wheat by inducing the farmers
10 hold back their crops. THE DIS
PATCH always held that the much adver-
not affect the market to the
slightest degree. But as Jnere was
an almost equal certainty that the inter
national demand for grain would estab-
lish the higher range of values that has
since prevailed, there was the danger that
the charlatanS who were trying to ride
into popularity on that scheme would
claim for it the advance that is due to the
European scarcity. Fortunately these
statistics reduce that scheme to the value
of an exploded bubble.
The foundation of that idiotic PROPOSE
ton was that the farmers should be in
duced to hold back their crops and produce
an artificial scarcity to secure advanced
prices The statistics show that four times
as much grain is moving as at the same
time last year. Prices are higher because
the legitimate consumptive demand estab-
fishes higher values. The farmers are
taking the wise course of realizing as
promptly as their individual needs and in
dividUal opinions justify, and the schemes
Of the scarcity charlatans are shown to be
worthless.

AGAINST OFFICIAL INTERFERENCE.

The action of the Trades Union Con-
gress at Newcastle, England, or the sub
iect of eight-hour legislation shows an
opinion on that subject which looks de-
cidedly more conservative than the ex-
presSionS of American organizations on
the same subject 1t is true the question
was presented in somewhat different
shape there than here, the action being
with regard to proposed international leg
islatiOn fixing the hours of labor at that
limit Perhaps on that question the
American labOTing interests would take
the same view as the English did; but as
all the expressions on this side of the ocean
are in favor of working toward the eight
hour day by all means open, it is some
what surprising to find the English body
pronouncing emphatically against this
proposition.
The emphatic nature of this negative
was due both to the perception of the
congress that the conditions differ in differ
eut trades, and to the expressed dislike of
the majority to governmental interference
and the socialist ideas. One delegate eX-
pressed the latter opinion by the declara-
tion that government interference in labor
problems was to go back hundred years,
and that view was followed Dy the
very large majority give,c TO the resolu-
tiou that legislation reducing or fixing the
hours of labor slOuld be of permissive,
or optional, character. While this may
have been adopted as letting the Socialist
element down easily, its real meaning is
that there should be no Government inter-
ference whatever. 1t is optional with the
industrial interests in all Anglo-Saxon
countries already to fix the hours of labor
by agreement between employers and
employed. and any legislative attempt
merely to increase that liberty would be so
much waste paper.
The Newcastle Trades Congress seems
70 be very sturdily of the opinion that
each trades union is fully able to settle,
each for itself with its employers, the
question Of the hours of labor in its own
industry.

SEASON OF FREIGHT BLockApEs.

The alienation from famine to feast
in railroad traffic has already taken place
this year. The reports which usually ap-
pear in October of sidetracks filled with
loaded grain cars and railroads blocked
with trains in excess of their capacity, are
now in full blast The early appearance
Of this condition permits a slight hope
that it may be relieved earlier in the sea-
son than usual But, as there is certain
TO be the largest movement of grain on
record during the opening crop year, it is
To be expected that the condition of gorged
railways, blockaded freight and a general
car famine will be the regular one for
months to come.
Of course, this is partially excused by
the fact that the great grain movement
this fall and winter makes an exceptional
demand on the resources of the railways.
But, with due allowance for that fact,
there is still an illustration of the
false railway policy which aggravates
this frequently recurring phenom-
enon. Railway managers have known
for months that there would
be a heavier grain movement this fall
than ever before, and they have been
warned by just such blockadeS in previous
years Of the necessity of preparing for the
rush of business. If every railroad in the
country had prepared for the emergency
by putting its facilities in first-class order,
and enlarging its rolling stock, it is evil

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Rev. Hervey ID. Ganse.

Rev. Hervey D. Ganse, D. D., Secretary
of the Presbyterian Board of Aid for Colleges and
Academies, died suddenly Tuesday evening at his
home in Chicago from paralysis of the heart. In
the morning MI. .Ganse complained of feeling of
depression. His indisposition lasted all day, but
was not supposed to be serious until few moments
before the end. DR.. Ganse was born in Fishyie
Y, February. 1872. He graduated at Colum-
bia College in 1899, and at the New Brunswick
Theological Seminary in ls43 He was first installed
over the Reformed Church of Freehold, Nj,
whence he was called in 1856 to the Twenty-third
Street Reformed Presbyterian Church of New York
CITY In 1876 he transferred his ecclesiastical con-
necton to the Presbyte body and became pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church of st. Louis
IJpon the organization of the Presbyterian Board
Of Aid for Colleges and Academies in 1883, DIR.
Ganse was elected its Secretary and removed to
Chicago to enter upon the dulles OF the Office con-
tinung therein until his death. In every position
which he filled Dr. Ganse displayed abilities of the
highest order, united to an unusual conscientious
devotion of duty. He was the author of several
published addresses and treatses. but his name Is
best known the composer of numerous HYMNS
among the churchs collection and sung by Presby-
terans universally.

ent that the condition of blockade would

dent that the condition of blockade would
not have set in so soon.
No doubt many railroads did so, and we
are glad to orecognize that our own roads
were reported long ago to have placed
large orders for additional cars. But it
remains the fact that the prevailing
method of permitting railways to lay hold
of the cars of other lines wherever they
are to be found and to keep them wander
ing all over the country, affords a
premium to the roads which let other
companies build the cars, and places
those who try to keep their rolling stock
up to requirements at a disadvantage.
This together with the tendency of good
many companies to run their business on a
hand-to-mouth policy, makes the present
situation an illustration of one respect IN
which the present system of railway or
ganization does not conduce to the best
and most economic results.
