record was maintained by another predic-
ton of generally fair" yesterday morn

sufficiently lively recollection of yester-
days weather to recognize the inaccuracy
of the adjective.
We must warn our Uncle Jerry that this
will not do. A Republican Weather
Bureau organized with view to capture
the agriculturist may not be responsible
for an opening of April which varies in
four days from untimely summer heat to
equally misplaced winter cold; but when
the destructive characteristics of weeks
record comprise thunder storms and snow
storms, summer perspiration and wintry
blasts, weather service which lays the
foundation of future Presidential booms
must give better notice of such changes
than the loose and liberal inaccuracy of
predictions summarized above. Better
have left the Weather Bureau to the aris-
tocratic exclusiveness of the military
signal service than to capture it for the
Agricultural Department with such reccil-
ing results.

A PROGRESSIVE cHURcHMAN.

The eulogistic remarks of Archbishop
| Ireland on the acts and character of
Pope Leo, gwen IN special letter
published elsewhere, put the attitude of
the head of the Church toward the prog
ress of the world in striking light.
The Archbishop can appropriately speak
of the breadth and liberality of the
Pontiff's policy, as he is especially the
representative and advocate of the same
liberality and progressivenesso of the Roman
Catholic Church in this country.
1t is hardly possible to dissent from the
Archbishop's high estimate of the place
which the present Pope takes in the
history of the time. His power of perceiv-
ing the needs of the present and to cut
loose of medieval tradition has been re-
markably displayed in his official deliver
ances. The encyclicals to which Arch
bishop Ireland refers will be enough to
rank him in history as a Pontiff whose
breadth of view, originality of thought,
sincerity of conviction and boldness of ex-
preston place him head and shoulders
above any of his successors in modern
times. 1t may be added that one of the
most cogent evidences of Leo's friendship
to republican government and breadth
of policy will be the elevation of so
liberal and progressive a prelate as Arch
bishop Ireland to the rank of American
Cardinal.
One point upon which the Archbishop's
panegyric touches is worthy of a little
additional notice. 1t Is the reference to
the fact that Leo has shaped his course re-
gardless of the fact that he is shorn of
temporal power. 1t is worth little specu-
lative inquiry whether the loss of temporal
power has not been an aid to him in taking
the wise and elevated view that he has
DONE 1t is to be doubted whether even
SO able statesman as Leo could, if he had
been busted with diplomatic intrigues
and the statecraft necessary to maintain
the government of the little State of
Church, risen so entirely above politics
and statecraft as he has done when freed
from that burden, and enabled to look at
society from the impartial view of a
churchman without temporal power. 1t
is to,be remembered that Pho Mono at the
opening of his rule was as liberal and
democratic as Leo has proved to be; but
the fear of crowned heads at the inroads
of republicanism was too much for him
who shared the position of ruling mon
archs
At all events, it is clear that the present
Pontiff has cast off the fetters of the mon
archical traditions. Archbishop Ireland's
eulogy, founded on that act, is fully
justified by the fact.

THE BALLOT LAWS DEFECTS
Secretary Binney Agrees With Some Grill

Secretary Binney Agrees With Some Criti-
cisms Made in These Columns.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The following occurs in the article on the
recent election at McKee's Rocks, in your
issue of the 9th inst:
"Another feature of the system of cross
marked in the square to the right OF the
party name, indicating vote for all the
candidates of that party, is that voters Will
find names In other columns that they wish
to vote for. and this will make the ballot in
valid. For that reason many ballots cast
will have to be thrown out. This system
also gives rise to many opportunities 1or
disfranchising voters that could not be
found under the old law"
The single mark system, coupled with the
party grouping, is one of the features unfor-
tunately engra fted upon the Baker law just
before its passage, and fully merits the
above criticism Except that double mark
ing would invalidate votes for the candi-
dates affected, not the whole ballotl, as we'll
as others. 1t is unfair to the local minority,
as we'll rs to independent candidates, dis
couraSes Intelligent voting, and confuses
the average citizen who wishes to vote in
telligently.
The wholesale distribution and use of
Specimen ballots" is ano ther Objectionable
feature of the law. Then ballots are in
tended to be posted up in and about the
voting room, but not to save the occupa-
tion Of the ward heelers."
trust that next year THE DISPATCH will
use all its influence to have these and like
defects in the law corrected, that Pennsyl-
vania may have ballot law equal to the
best. and not one which is inferior to those
of many other States. CHARLES c. BINNEY.

HONOR IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.

1t was to be expected that the Congress
sional committee investigating the ex-
penditures of the Worlds Fair manage.
ment should find subjects of criticism; but
it gives us pain at the heart to hear that
they have selected Major NJ. P. Handy's
bureau of publication and publicity as the
object of their animadversions. In this
disposition we fear the Congressman will
convict themselves of inability to properly
appreciate great capacity.
Whether the objection is to Major
Handy's expensive style of publicity or the
large amount of it which has been secured
by his endeavors, it exhibits an equal failure
g.. to recognize that in his European tour the
Major rose to the occasion and success
fully conquered an iteration of public
dinners that would have made Chauncey
NJ. Depew physical wreck and reduced
the Hon. Thomas p Ochiltree to the last
stages of dyspepsia. A product of our
Republic who can in the public in
terest outdine and outdrink the statesmen
of six capitals, one Government after
another, is not to be lightly turned down
by Congressional committee. The eXer-
else of this gift is necessarily expensive;
but if the visiting statesmen do not, upon
full consideration, accord full credit to
Major Handy's matchless digestion they
will give a new foundation for the old al
legation about the ingratitude of re-
publics
We do not think that the committee will
deliberately fall into that error There is
but one Handy, and the Worlds Fair is
the proper subject of his prophecy

PsTTIsoN AND CLEVELAND.

The establishment of an entente cordadLe
between Governor Pattison and ex-Sena-
tor Wallace, accompanied as it has been
by Mr.. Wallace's declaration of Pattison's
eligibility for the Presidential nomination,
creates decided fiutter among the politi-
cal opponents of the Governor. Aside
from the bearing on the all-absorbing
question whether Mr. Harrity or MI. Guffey
shall represent Pennsylvania on the Dem
ocratic National Committee, it has evoked
intmations that this argues betrayal of
the Cleveland cause on the part of Cover
nor Pattison.
We are unable to find in the circum-
stances Of the case any foundation for the
idea that Governor Pattison is not acting
fairly by Mr.. Cleveland, supposing him to
be in any way bound to the latter 1t is
patent fact of the situation that Governor
Pattison's status as a candidate is as the
second choice of a large share of the
Cleveland supporters, with the posi-
billty of attracting some support that
Cleveland cannot get But while Cover
nor PattisOn cannot divert, and will not
try to divert, the majority of the Pennsyl-
of Cleveland, there is nothing disloyal to
the Cleveland cause in maintaining good
terms with an opponent of Cleveland who
declares his preference for Pattison. The
very purpose of a second choice in such a
contest is that it will obtain support that
the first choice would not secure; and if
there were prohibition on expressions as
to Pattison's strength or that of any other
possible successor to Cieveland's vote,
there might as well be no second choice at
ALL
At ali events the course which will be
taken is unmistakable The bulk of the
Pennsylvania delegation will support
Cleveland until it is clear that his nomina-
ton is impracticable. When that becomes
manifest, the vote will go to Pattison.
Further, if the point is reached of nomi-
mating our Governor, we agree with
Senator Wallace that he will be a stronger
candidate under the circumstances than
Cleveland can he.

AN ARTIFICIAL WHALE.
A Craft Launched in Detroit Which Floats
BeneaIh the Water.


DETROIT, April 10-The nameless subma-
rine boat that has been building here the
past winter, was yesterday given q thor
ough trial under water, and was proven to
be a success in every particular. With
crew of three the boat started from its dock
on the River Rouge. just below the city, and
at first SKINNED along the surface toward
the Detroit river. 1t was then submerged,
going down gradually and under per. .ect
troi of the pilot. Under water the boat
was able to attain q speed of over 10 miles
an hour, turn around, rise or sink with the
greatest ease. The boat was submerged
several times under difficult circumstances
and proved that the peculiarly constructed
propellers were we'll adapted to their pur-
pose. 1t was also proved that in sinking or
rising the boat maintained horizontal
position, matter of great Importance in O
submarine boat
The boat is equipped to run by steam
power while on the surface, but underneath
the water the motive force comes from
powerful electric storage battery, the cells
being charged by the same engine that runs
the boat on the surface. The trial to-day
possible but practicable. The advantage of
such a craft for torpedo service in harbor
defense will be readily suggested to naval
engineers. The present boat was built only
as an experiment. 1t is of the shape of a
thick cigar, with pointed ends, being 40 feet
long. IA feet deep and feet beam. Its In
ventor is George C. Baker, of Chicago, who
was formerly at the head of the well-known
Baker Wire Company.

THE EFFECT OF THE TRUST.

A year ago centrifugal raw sugar cost
delivered to the refiners cents, while the
wholesale price of refined sugar was AZ
cents This gave the refners profit of
little over 81 per barrel, which was the
margin fixed by the competition of three
large refneries in Philadelphia outside of
the Sugar Trust.
Last week after the Trust had absorbed
the Philadelphia refneries the price of the
same grade of raw sugar was 2A cents
and the price of the same grade of refined
4ss cents. The difference between the
two has been increased &c and the
profit to the Trust is So 20 per barrel.
The removal of competition from the buy
ing of refined has taken so cents from the
seller of raw sugar, and the removal of
competition from the sale of refined
sugars has taken 40 cents from the con-
sumer. At the same time the Sugar Trust
people will assure the next Legislative
committee which investigates the subject
that their combination does not try to in
crease the cost of sugar or take undue
advantage of the producers.

''That whale story is what sticks me-" re-
marked man who desired to unite with the
church and was being examined as to his
faith in the truth of the Scriptures. 'T take
everything else WHOLE" he said, "but can't
quite believe that Jonah ever got out of that
whale alive.'' Only the other day we
noticed in the Chilean Times of Valparaiso
the heading: another JONAH" The article
was from the Industrial, published in Anita
fogasta, Chile. Perhaps the story has found
its way ere this into some of our American
journals, but probably it has not come under
the eyes of all our readers, and as it is a
short narrative, with names and dates that
may be verified, we venture to record it.
just a year ago this month the ship Star
of the East was off the Falkland Isles when
a whale was sighted and boat dispatched
to capture it. The monster after being
wounded, managed to overturn the boat.
All the seamen were rescued except one,
James BARLEY, who was supposed to have
been drowned. The whale was finally
secured, its body was opened, and the form
of BARLEY came to light. His flesh had not
been lacerated. he was unconscious. but un-
mistakably alive after a sojourn of thirty
six hours in that strange place. Three

use of his reason, and then he stated that he
remembered having been swallowed by the
whale, and oppressed, at first, by intense
heat, and then by the lawful silence"
The captain of the ship, when interviewed,
said that he had known of several cases
where the bodies of seamen had been taken
from the inside Of whales. but this was the
only instance that had come within his
knowledge of man having been taken out
alive. Now If the story of Jonah is what
sticks any one, let him write to the captain
man. editor of the Chilean Times, and get
his story direct.

DEFECTS IN THE BALLOT ACT

A communication from the Secretary of
the Pennsylvania Ballot Reform Associa-
ton, published elsewhere, points out that
the two imperfections in the Baker act
illustrated by its operation at McKee's
Rocks were among those engrafted on the
bill by the State Senate just before the
passage of the bill, and contrary to the
wishes of the supporters of ballot reform.
The fact that the bill was mutilated in
the Senate apparently for the double pur-
pose of embarrassing Independent action
and of making ballot reform unpopular
was fully noticed in these columns at the
time it was done. 1t is significant that
two of these defects should be so plainly
brought out at the first election held under
the law. The act should be amended, as
Mr.. Binney suggests, SO as to cure these

A Difference of Opinion as to It's Necessity
In the Affairs OF Trade.
St. Louis Republic.l
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie argues that a man
who studied until he was 20 in the attempt to
educate himself "has not the slightest
chance entering business at 20 against the
boy who swept the office or who began as
shipping clerk at it," and Henry Clews, the
banker, backs him up by saying: "The col
lege man is not the successful man in busi-
ness affairs. do not employ them in my
banking office. None need apply, for
think they have been spoiled for business
life."
This is a very strong argument for educa-
tion. If q man has ali his mental faculties
highly educated he can walk all around"
an uneducated man in getting other peoples
money away from them-if he likes. But
the more highly educated he is the less he
will like. He will be unwilling TO bid as
high for money, because he will see other
things worth more than money. And but
for the education that enables men to see
this Mr.. Carnegie would be strung to lamp
post, and the money he has so rapidly accu-
mulated would be much more rapidly dis
tributed. One of the chief benefits of good
education is that it units men for getting
other peoples property without giving in
return as much as or. more than they re-
ceive.

THE WEATHER BUREAUS BAD WEEK.

1t is disagreeable duty to call attention
to the mishaps Of Secretary Rusk's bureau
Of weather predictions; but the conflict
that has gone on for the past week-more
conflicting than the conflict between sci
ence and revelation-should not pass
without mention. The sight of good
man struggling with adversity has hardly
been more pitiful than the sight of the
Agricultural Departments reorganized
weather bureau struggling with the ad-
verse elements.
Commencing last Sunday, after a, week
In which predictions Of severe storms
had failed to materiaiize at this point, and
slightly warmer" weather had family
foreshadowed the hottest opening of
April on record, the Bureau returned to
its storm prediction, locating the thunder
storms in Western New York and ma
terializing them here. Tuesday was to
have given us cooler weather, but the
thermometer crept up into the seventies,
the cooler" prediction finally coming to
time on Wednesday. Thursday was pre-
dicted as generally fair and slightly
warmer by Thursday night'-a prophecy
wholly dishonored in the breach of it,
Friday ''cooler" prediction hit the mark.
This success was thrown away on Satur-
day morning by the prediction of ''gen-
orally fair preceded by showers IN West
em Pennsylvania" and if Saturday was
a fair and showery day we can find
whole communities who will vote for
clouds and SHOWS. This unfortunate
