snow Mt New Orleans.

A fall of snow in New Orleans is an
astonishing event. Men would scarcely
be more excited if Clay statue were to
evolve into the crater of an eruptive
volcano. That snow is a most wonder
full intoxicant cannot be a matter of
doubt to any impartial or unprejudiced
observer of the antics of Orleanians the
other day. Foremost in the ranks of
the snow drunk was the powerful small
boy-the Bobby of the mansion, the
Mickey of Bank alley. Bobby scraped
from rose bush, lawn and doorstep suf-
ficient snow to make his first SNOWFALL,
and pelted Herewith nurse, coachman
and cook. Mickey scrambled with his
ragged fellows for the meager fall of
snow upon curbstone and pavement,
and as he waited with red shining nose
for the evening papers, he sent up many
merry shout and SHE'D many whiz-
zing SNOWFALL.
AS the fluffy shower began to freckle
the gloomy atmosphere about noon pc
destrians stopped in their mad rush
along the thoroughfares to stand shiver-
ing beneath protecting sheds and gaze
curiously at the snow as a thing rarely
seen. Clerks and shopgirls thronged
to windows and showcases and flattened
their noses against the panes to see the
fiecks. Upon st. Charles avenue and
Prytania street one might have thought
from the number of ladies in shawls and
ulsters upon galleries and at windows
that some great procession was passing.
There was quite as much enthusiasm
nervousness and color.
Not few of the schools and acad.
emies gave their pupils half holiday
with instructions to see the snow and
take advantage of the opportunity to
study the phenomena pertaining thereto
There was not enough snow to cause
any fun about the exchange. Elever

A Monster Wheel.

The new 30-foot fywheel to replace
the one which burst on the Amoskeag
corporation at Manchester, N. H., last
fall, has been completed and put in
position for use as soon as the engine
is in readiness. Twenty thousand feet
of brown ash was used in the construc-
ton of the wheel, as well as S,0OO36 by
315-inch screws, lot of iron rods, tons
of iron and quarts of glue. The small
wooden sections are fastened together
by glue and the screws, and to strengthen
the whole there are stout iron rods pass
ing through the sections in addition to
this. The screws are driven by steam
power. To make the whole mass as
compact as possible narrow openings
were left between some of the sections,
and into these were tightly driven well
fitting wedges soaked in boiling hot
glue.
The time of its test is being awaited
with interest by the mill people. 1t has

in order to prevent interference in the

this statute thousands of pounds of tea have
been burned because of their wholesale adul-
: teration.
Tea, by the way, is one of the most notori
ously yadulterated articles of commerce. Not
alone are the bright, shiny green teas artih-
cially colored, but thousands of pounds of
substitutes for tea leaves are used to swell
the bulk of cheap teas; ashs sloe, and willow
leaves being those most commonly used.
Again, sweepings from tea warehouses are
colored and sold as tea. Even exhausted tea
leaves gathered from the tea-houses are Kept,
dried, and made over and find their way into
the cheap teas.
The English government attempts to stamp
this out by confscaticn; but no tea Is too
poor for US. and the result is, that probably
the poorest teas used by any nation are those
consumed in America

anty that it is uncolored and unadulterated; ;

UNWORTHY OPPOSITION.

Senator Cameron has the reputation of
being very pronounced in his likes and
dislikes. He has frequently shown that
he does not care much for the views of his
constituents when they run counter to
his own. But it is mconceivable that be-
cause of disappointment over the failure
of his candidate, Mr.. Brown, of Lancaster,
to get the Supreme Court appointment,
the Senator would persist in the notion at
tributed to him of interfering with the
confirmation of Mr. Shiras. Mr.. Cameron
must be aware of Mr.. Shiras' qualifica-
tions He must know that universal
tribute to the worth of the nominee from
the community in which he has lived, and
the bar at which he has practiced, means
something, and that the idea of indulging
personal pique by trying to set such an
appointment aside would be earnestly re-
sisted throughout the State.
Not only has Senator Cameron no ground
to oppose Mr.. Shiras, but the Democrats
in the Senate will be making most serious
mistake if they throw any obstacle in the
way of the confirmation. A man against
whom positively nothing can be urged,
and in whose favor everything that is good
can Justly be said, is an exceptional nomi-
nee. Yet Mr.. Shiras fills that bill exactly.
There should be no hesitation in confirm
ing his appointment

CHAIRMAN HARRITY.

There is question as to just how Penn
sylvanians in general should receive the i'm
piled compliment involved in the frequent
choice of citizen Of the Keystone State
to conduct the national campaign of one
or the other of the great parties. Dis
gruntled individuals in neglected Common
wealths are apt to intimate that the selec-
tions are made because of the eminently
practical nature of Pennsylvania politics,
and desire to extend the scope of ma
chine methods to partisan advantage. 1t
is certainly peculiar that the Democratic
campaign manager should be chosen from
the strongest Of the Republican States,
and the one most vitality inter ested in the
triumph of the protection candidate in the
present contest
Mr.. Harrity has of recent wears secured
quite reputation as an organizer. To be
sure, he has made but little permanent
impression on the adverse majority in
Pennsylvania, but when it Is considered
that his party is conducting a crusade
against the industries of the State this
lack of success is not cause for wonder
ment In attempting to persuade the
voters of the nation at large to &C.
cept falacies which his neighbors
have so often and so emphatically re-
jected Mr.. Harrity has undertaken a
prodigious task. Its difficulty will hardly
be lessened by the fact that he was prom
inent in the factional struggle within the
Democratic ranks preceding the Chicago
nomination.
Mr.. Carter resigned as Commissioner of
Public Lands when he was chosen Chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee. Will Mr. Harrity follow his ex-
ample and give up the position of Secre-
tary of State in Pattison's Cabinet while
he devotes his energies to an attempt to
turn over the Federal Government to- the
Democracy Judging from Mr.. Harrity's
previous record of holding on to the bird
he has with one hand while reaching for
the others in the bushes he is likely to
continue in his Harrisburg Office, nomin-
ally at least, for the present. -

A SOCIAL CHANGE,

The visit to New York of thousands of
delegates to the Christian Endeavor Con-
vention recalls to paper Of that city the
old practice By which the delegates to re-
ligious conventions were generally enter
tanned free of charge in the private homes
of the city where the convention gather
ing was held. 1t is not many years since
that custom was nearly universal Now
as rule it has become extinct, and dele
gates stop at hotels or boarding houses
paying for what they get Our cotempo-
rary says:
On the whole the change is good one =,
though nobody who remembers when the
old-fnshioned method prevailed can help
feeling some regret that new conditions
made the change necessary. There was
something very pleasant, oftentimes, for
both entertainer and entertained in the
hearty welcome to house and home given to
the stranger, and in his grateful. genial,
social assimilation Of himself for a few days
with that hospftable family. As originally
designed, and SO long as a more simple style
of living and n more equitable division of
responsibility made it practicable, the free
entertainment plan not only worked we'll,
but had distinct advantages over the less
cordial but more practicable arrangements
of the present day.
That the old plan has not only becom g
impracticable but would, under present
conditions, be liable to decided abuses
may be admitted. But it may be ques-
toned whether the social change which
makes it impracticable is for the better.
The very language quoted above suggests
that simple style Of living and genial and
fraternal hospitality which made the sys-
TEN of welcoming strangers engaged in
good work, without calculation and with
well.founded confidence in their integ-
rity, is not social condition the departure
of which is to be regretted How much
public gain is there in new order which
by substituting complexity for simplicity,
creating social divisions and generating
the liability to abuse OF hospitality'on one
side, and the distrust of unknown people
on the other, has wiped out the free,
hearty and unsuspecting hospitality of
the old gatherings, and reduced to a null
lity the ancient virtue of entertaining
strangers? -.
There are many respects in which social
organizations and social customs have
altered from the standards of a genera
ton ago. 1t may give us ground for a
clear judgment of the general tendencies
if we inquire with regard to each of them
whether the alterations represent an i'm
proveme mt in social qualities or the re-
verse.

THE PEOPLES PARTrs ERROR.

One of the most striking features of this
years political contest lies in the strenu-
Gus efforts being put forth by the Peoples
party. And the most curious part of this
unprecedented endeavor by third party
seeking the millennium by making the Ma
tional Governments something between
day-nursery and a pawnshop is found
in the fact that they can profit nothing
and ma y suffer much thereby. Let them
work never so hard for their Presidential
ticket, they can at the utmost do no more
than secure the election of the Democratic
nominee by throwing the choice into the
House.
Perseverance is always praiseworthy on
behalf of principle, but it becomes pitia-
BILE as well when it is of so mistaken a ma
ture as to injure the party persevering.
Like all the rest of the nation the Peoples
party, whatever that may exactly amount
to, has everything to gain by the continu-
Rnce of Protection, and must suffer by the
injury to national industries which would
follow the election of President pledged
to free trade. Under these conditions the
kindest wish to be entertained on behalf
of this amorphous aggregation of individ-
uals is that it may fail in its efforts to
stultify itself and harm the country.

GLADSTONE's HEALTH.

There is of course no doubt but that
Gladstone's majority is such as to involve
the veteran statesman in . most difficult
undertaking, with the practical certainty
of having the fight to make all over again
in the near future. Next to the narrow
margin of supporters that he has secured
in the House Of Commons Gladstone's g
greatest danger lies in his own advanced
age and consequent physical debility. It

labors of the campaign have left distinct
mark upon him, and those lsbors are as
nothing compared to the task he will have
when the actual work in Parliament COM
mences.
