COLD WATER ON THE PROPHETS.

The phenomenal duration and persist
ence of the rainy weather have at once
stimulated and confounded the weather
prophets. Some of the cult are claiming
verifcation from the fact that they pre-
dicted a stormy May, but as the kind of
storms they predicted is exactly the sort
that did not occur they are not much
better off for their claim.
At present the long period of rains sug-
gests to the public mind that it is about
time to clear up. The New York Herald,
which occasionally draws a Delphic
species of forecast from the meteorologi-
cal conditions, INDUCED this hope on
Thursday morning by predicating "a turn
ing point for the better" on the state of
the weather throughout the nation, with
an assured outlook for a gradual rise of
temperature. Considering that this pre-
diction was followed by the storms and
chilliness of Thursday and Friday, we
fear that the obstinate elements have de-
termined to destroy our cotemporary' s
reputation for meteorological omniscience.
1t is observable that the officer in charge
of the weather bureau station in this city
yesterday committed himself to prophecy
that the season of storms is over. Let us
sincerely hope that he will have better
luck with his prediction than those who
have preceded him.

BLA1NE,s HEALTH No OBSTACLE.

The publication of the opinion of DIR.
Pepper, of Philadelphia. as to Mr.. Blaine's
health is one of the significant accom-
panlments of the Blaine movement. The
declaration by one of the highest medical
authorities that the first statesman of the
nation is suffering from nothing worse
than slight nervous strain would be a
matter of keen public interest at all times;
but at present it is invested with the fate
of political campaign.
1t has been very clear that the one
obstacle to Mr.. Blaine's acceptance of the
nomination was the question whether his
health would permit it. The publication
of the opinion not only shows that there
is no obstacle to his candidacy from his
physical condi ton, but his willingness to
let the public know it practically indicates
a readiness to accept the logical result.
With this point authoritatively settled, it
is not too much to say that Mr.. Blaine is
already practically in the saddle as the Re-
publican leader for 1892

WAGES AND PROSPERITY.

Our esteemed cOtemporary the Labor
Tribune develops theory that the iron
manufacturing districts which have cut
down wages in their mills have subse-
quently lost business and become we'll
nigh extinct as factors in the iron trade
There seems to be an inference on the
part of the Labor Tribune that the wage
reduction occupies somewhat the relation
of cause TO this effect although that idea
is not stated more positively than in the
following paragraph:
The inference is that when q region be-
comes thus notorious it is an indication that
the mill business is in process of leaving
that region, and it is only Il question of time
when the mills will be abandoned. On the
other hand, the regions where wages are
best are the most prosperous mill districts.
The New England States are almost deserted
as iron producers. Years ago it was in those
States that the chipping away of mill wages
was the rule, and at that time this was the
reduction rod that was held over other mill
regions. OF late the Eastern Pennsylvania
mill companies have been following the
New England reduction policy, and Judging
by history the Eastern Pennsylvania mill
region will cease to be a mill region except a
change to bracing up in the matter of
wages snail come over the practice of mill
owners.
We believe the fact stated to be indis-
putable enough, although we think that
the apparent inference is built upon
slight confusion as to which is cause and
which effect. 1t is hardly tenable that bus-
ness leavesa district because wages are re-
duced, nor is it practical to suppose, as
suggested in the last line of the above ex-
tract, that process of decay would be ar
rested by raising wages. II e wage re-
ductiOns in the sections named have
undoubtedly been an indication and eff
feet of the departure of the business; and
the fact that the dwindling has kept up
indicates that wage reduction alone is not
enough TO furnish the factors of a prosper
Gus business
The point is not less important viewed
in this light The magnificent record of
Pittsburg in sustaining wages at the same
level for years proves the stability and
firmness of the conditions which have kept
the iron and steel trade prosperous. This
shows how directly each mill worker is in
terested in maintaining tie factors of pros
perity. Every discrimination in transpor-

PITrsBURG. SATURDAY, MAY 2S. 1897
TWELVE PAGE:
As TO THE GAS SUPPLY.

The ever-iniereStlng question of the
supply of natural gas receives new light
from the answer of the Philadelphia Com
pany to the suit of Carnegie, Phipps &
Co., published yesterday morning. In
this document sworn to by the general
manager of the company the prospects of
the gas supply are put in what, to use the
mildest expression, is a decidedly unfay-
orable light.
But no observer can fail to be struck by
the difference between the view of the
situation taken in this document and that
presented to the stockholders of the COM
panv in the Presidents annual report
The encouraging prospect held out by the
earlier document was commented on in
these columns at the time: and it is neces-
sary to say that it is pretty well offset by
the sworn answer now published. Of
course it is possible view that the report
TO the stockholders would naturally take
the favorable view of things, and the an
swer to the suit will not be diminished in
its usefulness by the unfavorable view.
But as the important question in both
cases depends on such facts as the amount
of territory in the reserves, the relation
of present supply to demand, and the
average life of producing wells in the
various districts, it is calculated to leave
the minds of the public to find conflicting
representations sauthoritatively issued from
the same corporation.
The public cares little which of the par
ties TO the pending suit is to win; but it
has a decided and immediate interest in
learning whether the view of the gas sup
ply officially promulgated by the Presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Company, OF
that sworn to by its general manager, is
the correct one.

Mr.. CLEVELAND'S POSITION.

THE friends of Mr.. Cleveland have cor
tainly no reason to feel otherwise than graf
iGed with the result of Wednesdays con-
ventions in every part of the Union.-Baiti-
more Sttn
In many respects the action of the New
Jersey Democratic Convention is the most
significant event of the present popular
movement for Mr.. Cleveland'S nomination.
-lNeU York Post
NOTWITHSTANDING Mr.. Watterson's sturdy
fight against n New York candidate, Mr..
Cleveland seems to have the advantage over
any other man in kentucky's delegation to
Chicago.-C Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
IT is apparent that the sentiment of the
Democrats of the country is tor Cleveland.
Ills stumbling block is New York lie must
carry that State if nominated or his candi-
dacy will be hopeless Philadelphia Inquirer.
IT is very evident that the Democratic
party cannot escape Cleveland. The talk
about somebody else goes on, but all the
while the shadow of the Man of Destiny
spreads over the party.-NeIo York Advertiser.
IN spite of the doubt that was infused into
the Kentucky Convention, Mr.. Breckinridse
echoed the opinion of the Democratic
masses when he said that no other Demo
cratic candidate could more surely be
elected than Grover Cleveland philadelphia
Record.
If Mr.. Cleveland, in spite of his oppcsi-
ton, should be made the candidate of the
convention, Mr.. Hill may adopt neutral
attitude and leave to those who rejected
him the duty of electing, if they can, his
preferred opponent.-Ne1o York Commercial
Advertiser.
WEDNESDAYS conventions add % to the
number of delegates to the National Demo
cratic convention already chosen and bring
that number up to 60. OF these, 45l are in
structed' for Grover Cleveland, or chosen
under such strong terms of preference for
him as to leave no doubt that they will vote
for him.-Ai6dny argus.

yYHITNEY'S WEAK BOOM

There is a marked endeavor on the part
CT certain New York c0temporaries to in
spire life into the William c. Whitney
boom. 1t is presented as happy solution
of the strife between the partisans of
Cleveland and Hill, with an evident de-
sire to represent Mr.. Whitney as the man
for whom the Democrats yearn as the Re-
pubicanS do for Blaine But unfor-
tunateiy for the Whitney boom the Hill
fight has so little left of it that CON-
promise candidate is not by any means a
necessity If the need did exist, Mr.. Whit
ncy has not the overwhelming prominence
OF the universal popularity that underlies
the demand for Blaine.
Mr. Whitney was very respect
able Secretary of the Navy. He exhibited
the administrative capacity necessary to
superintend that department while it built
some modern vessels. Beyond that his
national reputation consists of introduc-
ing at Washington the luxurious enter
tainments of millionaire society in New
York, and replacing the simplicity
OF hospitality suited to moderate
means with diam0nd-back terra
pin and champagl le flowing like
water. A record like this is hardly founda-
tion enough to sustain the fabric of a
