In the west half Of the Twenty ninth
legislative district the Democrats have
the best of the fight and are going to re-
eject their present representative, George
M. Blocker, by a larger plurality than
that given him two years ago. The res-
son for this is that the voters appreciate
the good work done by Mr.. B!escker at
the last session and they are going to
send him back to continue it.

A DECISION AT LAST.

If for no other reason than that the
existing unsettled condition of affairs
which have been upon us since the local
option election last fall is at last
Strengthened out, the decision of Judge
Whittle rendered yesterday will be &C.
knowledged to be beneficial A large
amount of enmity and strife has been
engendered as result of this contest,
and the verdict one way or the other
would have come as a,relief from this
feeling Of uncertainty.
The decision itself, reversing as it
does, the vote of majority of 142 of
the local optionists of the city, was
apparently received with more extended
rejoicing than was the result announced
on the night of September 5. The full
digest of Judge Whittle's decision, as
published in this mornings TIMES, will
be read with interest. 1t is not only of
local moment, but. as a settlement of
important legal questions, will be ap
preciated by lawyers and jurists Of this
and other States.
The decision is an exceptionally able
one and shows the result Of thorough
and complete research not only into the
law as laid down into the statute books,
but into the decisions OF learned jursts
OF this and other states on cases similar
to the one pending, and. coming from
one uninterested in the issue at stake, it
VIII be accepted as a decision made in
good faith upon the law and the evi.
dence as presented to his consideration.

a CRISIS is considered to have come in

festo to their countrymen to stand to-

founded when Charles Stewart Parnell
was declared their leader. The mani
festo ends in the following decisive Ian
guage:

has come for prompt action. The Irish

At least three-fourths of the people
seen on the streets were evidently

NInnrr md the Atlantic Cable.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
What had Commodore NJ. F. Maury "
do with the laying of the Atlantic cable!
INQUIRER.
In 1850 in n letter to the Secretary of the
Navy Captain VI. f. Maury furnished
the specifications for n submarine cable
which. after disastrous failures. were
adopted with success in 1858. (see Life Of
NJ. I. Maury, by Mrs. Corbin, chapter Z,
page 1857
In 1854 Maury wrote n special report
subject Of submarine telegraph be-
tween Newfoundland and Ireland, urging
that the wire be laid on the plateau dis
covered by the deep-sea soundings. (See
page 90 of same book; also a letter TO
Professor Morse February %, 1s5i)
In 1856 the Secretary of the Navy in his
annual report made a special mention Of
Maury's prophecy as TO the existence OF
the plateau. The Secretary said of the
indefatigable Superintendent Of the Naval
Observatory. HE had also been so bold
as to insist that whenever q survey could
he made of the bottom of the ocean be-
tween Newfoundland and Ireland 1t
would be ascertained that such were the
moderate depths. such the perfect repose
there. and absence Of abradlng or dis
turbing currents. that telegraphic wires
could be laid as safely and as success
fully as upon land" page 101. Ibid)
In 1857 Maury wrote a letter to John
Locke as to the feasibility of the scheme,
which was read before the Royal Society
of Dublin. He said that the only ques-
ton is. what are the electrical limits TO
the length Of submarine lines?" In this
connection he wrote forty-three letters to
Cyrus Field between June 3, 1855. and
March 20. 1860. and many others too nu-
merous to mention all of which are on
file at the Observatory in Washington. ID.
