THE sENATFs WISDOM.

The confirmation of George Shiras, Jr.,
by the Senate yesterday without any
opposition was much more satisfa ctory
termination of the movement against Mr.
Shiras than was looked tor. 1t permits
the inference that with the majority OF
the Senators high qualifications for the
loftiest judicial position, and the constitu-
tional methods of appointment of nomi-
mating, are more important than the Sena-
torial theory of office-grabbing.
1t is to Senator Quay's credit that he
secured the confirmation of Justice Shiras
though the appointment was not the one
which he recommended. But 1t is also q
matter for serious reflection to Pennsylva-
mia that it has another Senator who, when
an appointment so obviously fit is made,
sets up an opposition on claim of person.
al ownership of the right of appointment.
When we reflect that the other prominent
appearance of the senior Senator this ses-
sion has been in the act of voting for free
silver, Pennsylvania Republicanism has the
duty of asking itself whether the system
that puts it under such leadership is the
right one.
There is an offset to this in the rise of
such men as Shiras and Dalzell to promi-
nence But it remains to be seen whether
the influences that give power to men of
the mental caliber of the younger Gamer
on, or those which bring men like Dalzell
and Shiras into national leadership, will
have most power in Penns ylvania politics.

MIR. CARNEGIE's POSITION.

Mr.. Carnegie has been found at last. He
has not much to say that will stem criti-
cism of himself either upon this or the
other side of the water. His answer to the
criticism from both English and American
sources upon the differences between his
effusive protestations on paper in favor of
conference and arbitration in labor dis
putes and his practice, is that he 'tis not in
the active management
For radical philanthropist by profess
sion, it must be admitted that this plea
does sound rather an easy evasion of re-
sponsibiljty. Considering the known pre-
ponderation of Mr.. Carnegie's holdings
in his Company, it is liable moreover to be
taken as indicating facile disposition to
shift responsibility upon other shoulders
If Mr.. Carnegie persists in this view
there will arise in many minds serious
doubt whether he is to figure before pos
terity as a serious Andrew, or as only,
after all, a sad and Indifferent sort of
merry-andreW

STATISTICAL NONSENSE.

The cost of our Presidential campaigns
is a seasonable topic for discussion. 1t
generally comes at this particular juncture
of summer, and develops the quality not
unknown to the season of large element
rendered pertinent by the reappearance
in generally esteemed cotemporary or
the assertion that Presidential election
cosis The country in the interruption of
business over $500, ,0O0,O 600 for each cleo
ton.
The process by which this conclusion is
reached is an interesting Illustration of
the science of guessing. The. ordinary
volume of transactions for the third of the
year during which the Presidential cam
paign is going on is first estimated at $5,-
O00, 100000. Then estimates of business
men put the decrease in the volume of
transactions at ten per cent Argal; the
loss is $500, 1000, 900. That $500, OO0, 900 is
ten per cent Of $1,000, OOo, 900 is indispu-
table. Consequently, when this scientific
process first guesses at total and then
guesses at proportion, the result strikes
the mind as much more convincing than
if it had guessed $500, 600, ,OOC in the first
place and had done with it.
But that is not more remarkable than
the further deduction. The idea that
because the grain, stock and petroleum
exchanges of the country sell possibly
$500, ,00O, 900 less wind to each other in
Presidential years than in ordinary ones,
might point moral as to the average re-
quirements for wind in our politics; but it
is unique notion that the nation has lost
that much money. Or even supposing
that the dealing is in legitimate business;
if A sells S100.O00 worth of goods to B,
who turns around and sells them to c,
we have $500, 900 in transactions, and our
scientific statistician would have us believe
that if A had sold the goods directly to G,
100000 of actual value would have been
eliminated from commerce.
The whole thing is simple nonsense.
The products of the country are harvested
and marketed in Presidential years as in
others. The actual diversion of produc-
tive energy from its real work in a Presi-
dental campaign has never been large
enough to have discernible effect either
in the crops harvested, the coal and ore
mined, the iron or glass manufactured
or the houses and shops built These
things constitute actual wealth. If $780,
100000 of them were lost in every Presi-
dental campaign, the country would be in
the middle of a commercial panic by the
time that the President was inaugurated.
