How Firing of Heavy Artillery Causes Rain
to Fall In the Vicinity. ,
Whatever lowers the temperature of
the air at any place below the dew point
is q cause of rain. Various causes may
conspire to effect this object, but it is
chiefly brought about by the ascent Of
the air into the higher regions Of the
atmosphere, by which, being subjected
to less pressure, it expands and in doing
so lowers it's temperature. These as
cending currents are caused by the heat
ing of the earth's surface by the suns
rays, or, in fact, by anything which
raises the temperature Of the superin-
cumbent air, and it is very obvious that
the continued discharge Of large pieces
Of ordnance will have considerable
effect in raising the temperature of the
air lying on the earth's surface, which
will ascend. expand and discharge its
aqueous particles in the form Of rain,
for the reasons given above.

How to Serve Steak In q New Way.

THE COST OF LIVING.

From the Cleveland World.
The present administration was given
control of the government under self
imposed pledge to reduce the cost of liv-
Ing. 1t Is only fair to say that It Is the
only policy which is successfully carried
out. 1t did reduce the cost of living in
thousands Of homes. 1t had hardly been
In power three months when manufac-
tories We're closing, railroad business fell
Off. thousands of industries employing
large numbers of men at high wages
either closed entirely or dismissed large
percentage Of those already employed.
These persons without revenues had to
''reduce the cost of living" Where they
had meat every day they We're lucky to
get twice or even once n week. Those
v hO kept servants reduced the number,
cut their wages or dismissed them.
Economy was the order of the day. 1t
was so marked that the garbage COM
panies in some cities where they had con-
tracts were unable to make q profit on
account Of the leanness Of the garbage
pail in which what could not be used by
the family was deposited. Many found
use for the scraps they had thrown away
or people poorer than themselves were
glad to get the refuse for food instead of
its going into the refining mill.
This was only one Of the many ways
that the "cost Of living was reduced" by
the policy Of the administration. 1t has
not yet been brought back to the old scale
Of living and Is not likely to be until the
policy which generated the former gener-
Gus habit Is re-established. In two years
more the Republican party will return to
its successful idea of first providing the
living and then reducing the cost.

For q Short Campaign.

The proposition to shorten next years
presidential campaign to not more than
two months. beginning not earlier than
the fore part of September, Is one which
will have the cordial support Of oil
business men. 1t would be a distinct
gain for general business, which in
var,ably suffers during the excitement
and distracting influences Of presi-
1ential canvass. 1t would also satisfy
the writer's and speakers Of campaign
literature, to whom the prospect of hav-
ing to chew set Of facts-or fictions-
over and over again. during FIVE or six
weary months, some Of them In the
sitting midsummer, Is anything but
inviting.
There IL no good reason why the busi-
ness interests Of the country should not
be spared at least 80 per cent. Of the
turmoil and disturbance common to our
quadrennial political contests. Every

Take Him at His Word.

The request Of Senator Quay that 4
special poll of Allegheny county Repub-
leans be taken to ascertain their pref
erence for state chairman is an unusual
one to make, considering that in every
county which has held primaries since
the senator declared his present ILL
advised war upon the administration
of Governor Hastings he has been beat
en- by from two to three to one. ana mas
not succeeded in electing single dele
gate, while the administrations friends
have elected sixteen.
But under proper conditions the SEN
ator's request might we'll be granted.
Mr.. Quay, In his letter to the chairman
OF the Allegheny county Republican
committee. intimates that the issue now
agitating the state is one of personal
comparison between himself and Mr..
Gilkeson: but he very well knows bet
ter. At any rate. the people do. They
know that It Is not in any sense mat
ter OF mere personal choice. but instead
n vital public principle. They realize
that senator Quay stands in the atti-
tude OF having deliberately begun a
campaign Of revenge upon the governor
FOR falling to sanction the senator's sud-
den flop on the question Of reapportion-
ment: and that he has made this cam
paign a pretext for grasping after an
absolute mastery of the party machin-
cry. in the interests Of Senator Cameron
and Messrs. Andrews, Penrose and
Frank Willing Leach. They perceive
with growing clearness as, in his des-
peration, the senator let's mask after
mask fall'from in front Of his real pur-
poses. that his success in this fight for
control Of the party organization would
signify an era of personal dictation and
overbearing one-man power In excess
of all precedents and IN utter disregard
Of the party's own future welfare.
II the question at issue We're nothing
more than a choice between Senator
Quay and Chairman Gilkeson. the party

ner in which its duties have hitherto
been performed. should be desired. in
a. minor campaign, by man who has
been regarded as worthy Of far larger
and more important executive party
trusts. Though, in such a case, 1t
would probably prefer Mr.. Quay be-
cause 1t knows more Of him, 1t would
marvel much at his condescension,
which Is a practice to which he Is not
often given. But any thinking Repub-
lican can by this time see that the
issue has gone way beyond personal
preference. and has become one vital
TO the party's well-being. Such Re-
publican, whether he live In Allegheny
county or elsewhere, can appreciate
the need OF fair play in state politics,
and would, in our judgment, SO vote at
special primary were one called as
Mr.. Quay requests.

Somewhat Ratified.

From the Carbondale Herald.
The Leader undertook to tell the Scran-
ton Tribune in an ironical way that but
one county officer was to be elected next
fall. The Tribune this morning says:
"The Carbondale Leader is respectfully
Informed that O county surveyor and a
coroner are to be elected next fall. The
Leader should study up on local politics"
The Leader might study up on few other
things, too, without hurting itself any.
1t hits no wider of the mark on politics
than on many other subjects.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.

Philadelphia Letter in the Pittsburg
Chronicle Telegraph: "I would like to
know how It feels to own a governor"
Such was the remark credited to Senator
Quay just before Delamater's nomination.
and It has gone down In political history
as one OF the junior senator's worst
breaks. People who are well acquainted
with tho present contest In Pennsylvania
say that Quay's famous expression ex-
plains the whole course OF the fight. A
well known Philadelphia gentleman. who
has held some places OF honor In the state.
In speaking on this subject said. "Sena-
tor Quay discovered that he could not
own Governor Hastings. He knew that he
would be recognized like any other lead
ing Republican. but this did not satisfy
the old man. He knew time was fleet

he wanted to own governor he would
have to hurry up Then he sent an ennis

governor would really be owned by Quay

mand. and Quay then started on his fight

ers who had gone along with Quay for
SO long. decided that II was time to serve
notice on the old man that he could not
use the Republican party to vent hts per-
sonal spite. and. as a result, the active
Republicans all over the state have turned
against Quay and he Is defeated. He is
even worse defeated than even his oppo-
nents think he Is. This man Quay was
defeated the day the people In Lacka-
wanna county voted for state delegates.
Senator Quay chose his own battle ground.
He chose Lackawanna and his opponents
decided to fight him on the ground Of his
own choosing. They fought. and the Quay
flag was hauled down. From that minute
Quay was defeated. He may try to Sven
galize' these delegates. but 1t IL no use.
All the Junior senator needs is few
more Lackawan.e.s and he will withdraw
from the fight"

Good Advice to Mr.. Quay.

Philadelphia Bulletin: "The campaign
which the organs Of Mr.. Quay have made
for him as n candidate for state chair
man seems to be largely based on the as
sumption that no Republican has a right
to differ from him. Their arguments and
their language are like those Of the fol-
lowers of q feudal chief. Absolute obed-
fence to Mr. Quay as the head of the ma
chine and fountain Of party power and
honors is the principal theory on which all
their diatribes against his opponents rest.
Thus 1t Is that their vocabulary has be-
come prolific of such terms as ingrates,
traitors 'corruptionists' and 'assassins.'
Their campaign has been marked by viru-
lence and abuse, which the Democratic
newspapers have been quick to take up
and improve upon In mendacity and reck-
lessness with a stock Of their own choice
epithets. and all this for the sin that some
Republicans dare to ask their fellow Re-
publicans to see that fair play in the man.
agement of the party Is accorded to them
and that Mr.. Quay shall not be permitted
to enjoy the privileges Of a dictatorship.
Some Of the Quay organs are talking Of
compromise Whether this Is in accord
with Mr.. Quay's wishes Is not known. If
1t is, he should first caution his support
ers to stop their senseless villlfcation Of
Governor Hastings and his friends. Mr..
Quay himself has been used fairly and de-
Gently in the discussion. and whether he
wants compromise or fight to the end,
let him call of the mud-sllngers and
slang-whangers, who are working them
selves into a ridiculous frenzy, and draw
ing on the lexicon Of the slums for their
arguments"

past. Cameron stood by Quay when the
latter was in trouble; now the senior
scna tor expects return when the junior
senator is uppermost. If you don't be-
lcve the Cameronites are for Quay and
the Quayites for Cameron, just come to
Harrisburg, Cameron's home You will
see evidences on every hand" The
Cameron handicap is there to stay.
