Niagara in the Harness..

The schemes to harness the great Nj
agara have at last been carried out to
the satisfaction of the most enthusias-
tic man Of business who can appreciate
no specimen of natures beauty and
grandeur that rs not enclosed In dollars.
The majestic cataract which has for
years swept onward unmolested as
one Of the wonders Of the world has Mt
last been temporarily arrested. SO to
speak. and made to perform menial SER
vice for graspins man. For many
years past Yankee enterprise has gazed
longingiy upon this waste Of power, and
many plans were concocted with the
view Of utilixing the mighty cataract
In way that would bring wealth to
others beside hotel-keepers and hack
men at the falls. But none Of the
schemes were practical.
The introduction Of electricity as q
power for running machinery. however,
has made the Harvesting Of Niagara
possible. After an expenditure of sew
eral million Of dollars. the. great dyna-
mos have been put In operation and the
crest cataract furnishes the power.
Electric power h now applied to vari-
ous manufacturing enterprises at Mag

So long as there was reason to believe the
Spanish statements that the revolt In that
unhappy island was merely local out
break. which would shortly be put down
without general disturbance or injury to
trade. the United States was justified In
preserving rigid neutrality. 1t Is now
evident. however. and II has been evident
for some weeks, that the official declara-
tions from Madrid and Havana on the
subject were deliberate falsehoods. The
insurrection is not local. 1t extends
throughout all Cuba. 1t is not the pro-
duct of personal ambition or petty dis
satisfaction, but the uprising OF a brave

Sixty thousand Spanish troops. vast cor

the whole effective force of the Spanish

the vigilance of Federal officials has been
necessary to prevent that sympathy from
taking the form OF active assistance. The
government at Washington should re-

The Party's Verdict.

The supreme tribunal Of Pennsylva-
mia Republicanism having elected to
continue Senator Quay in power. there
| is left to those who voted and worked
against such a result the consciousness
of having conducted a Straightforward,
manly battle, which though temporarily
unsuccessful, is by no means lost.
While superficial observation may in
cline to the belief that Mr.. Quay and
his methods are by yesterdays verdict
perpetuated In this state. We believe
that wiser scrutiny will discover a diff
ferent situation. 1t will discern in the
recent revolt the vivid evidence Of an
inevitable revoluti&,, which may. by
devious artifces, be postponed for
| time, but which sooner or later will or
dain in this commonwealth new order
of things. 1t will not be deceived by
| the Quay autocracy's momentary noisy
exultation into a misapprehension of
the fact that the temper Of the party
rank-and-flle is becoming unsnited to
the sustained endurance Of one-man
dictatlon. and that unless party leader
ship shall respect public opinion and
have regard for the public interest. 1t
will ride in time to a certain fall.
If Senator Quay Is the shrewd poll
tican that he represented to be. he
will take due cognizance of this condi-
ton and incline toward moderation.
The narrowness Of his escape does not
suggest new hazards; 1t rather points
to the need Of immediate caution and
concillation. The recent revolt against
k'm was not personal in Its origin; 1t
was aimed at system whose prolonga-
ton is inconsistent with healthy party
progress. and fatal to official self-re-
spect. That system must change,
| though the man who created 1t shall for
a time remain. It rests with the sena-
tor himself, accordingly as he shall per-
sist in or yield to this inexorable de-
mand, to fix the term of his own tenure
| of command.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
A Gloomy Prediction.

Philadelphia Record: "The compulsory
school law passed by the recent legislature
IL likely to prove u dismal failure. There
Will probably be an examina ton and regis
tration OF school children by the asses
sors, who will get additional pay for their
additional labor; but beyond this the law
Is likely to fall dead. No concerted move
has been made to provide additional
school room In localities where facilities
are lacking. In many of the counties of
the state the expense to be incurred is so
heavy in attempting to carry out the re-
quirements of the law that school direc-
tors and county commissioners prefer to
run the risk of neglect rather than take
the responsibility of compliance"

Election day, Nov.
Trouble Happily Averted.

When 1t is considered that the real
margin of difference in strength be-
tween the Quay and the Hastings fac
tions at Harrisburg. prior to the as
semblage of yesterdays convention.
was 50 small that shrewd observers on
both sides, while outwardly protesting
confidence, were at heart in grave
doubt of the outcome, the mutual move
toward basis of equitable agreement,
thus obviating the possibility of two
conventions, was the most creditable
single fact In connection with the en-
tire controversy. 1t is no doubt a dis
concerting result So far as the DEM
ocrats are concerned, since it robs
them of any chance of victory next
November; but among Republicans of
all shades of factional belief it will be
hailed as a signal vindication, at
most critical moment, of the reserve
wisdom and foresight of the party's
representatives.
1t is fair to the Administrations
friends to say that they had an i'm
pregnable right and much provoca-
tion to stand out for strict observ-
anee Of their demands, which in no
way violated precedent or transgressed
the accepted principles of political
equity. 1t is also fair to them to say
that In deciding to yield some points
rather than run the risk of intensifying
the already overstrained tension of
factional feeling, they had in view
solely the party's welfare, to which
they willingly sacrificed all smaller ad-
vantages. In this decision they merely
acted in conformity with their previ-
Gus attitude, which, from the beginning,
has been one of uniform candor and
fair play; and sought. no point of stra-
tegic value not justified by long-estab-
lished party usage. Yet the fact that
In the crucial moment of the contest,
all threats Of revolution and all men,
aces Of party disruption came from
other sources. and We're simply not met
with counter violence because to de-
scend to that plane would work serious.
II not permanent, injury to the party,
does the friends of Governor Hastings
high credit and places the entire party
under direct obligations to them.
The unanimous election Of Colonel
Quay as state chairman, together with
the equally cordial nomination by the
convention of the governors six judicial
appointees, ends a spirited and at times
dangerous fight upon terms to which
all can assent. 1t is not in all respects
the programme we wanted, but the fact
that 1t was decreed by the convention
makes it from this time forward the
programme of all loyal Republicans.

Wheat of the World.

The United States have received
credit for the production of OO,O17, 900
bushels of the worlds wheat supply by
the Budapest statisticans whose esti-
mates have been recently published.
The Hungarian estimate Of the
American wheat crop for 1894 was 408,-
600, 900 bushels; and in making compari-
sons this season the Budapest crop ex-
perts have used these erroneous figures,
disregarding the fact that the Federal
department of agriculture has.declared
that the production of wheat in this
country last year was 100000. 900
bushels. There Is a widely prevalent
belief that even this latter was an
underestimate. Both of these Euro
pean crop computers agree in the state
ment that Great Britain and France
will have q much smaller yield Of
wheat than in 1884, and the inference
is fair that the import requirements
of these countries will be materially
Increased.
In consequence Of the decrease in
the production Of wheat in countries
like India. Argentina and Australia.
the demand for. American grain this
year should be in excess of that Of sew
eral years past. The hopefulness of
the situation is somewhat modified by
additional statements from these ex-
perts to the effect that there has been
an increase of 52,00O,0O0 in Russia's
wheat crop this season. The apparent
unreliabllity Of the reports from the
Hungarian experts make 1t somewhat
difficult for one to form an estimate
safe to bank upon. Still, viewed from
all points, It would seem that there
must be a greater demand for Ameri-
can wheat during the coming year. and
that this country will be perceptibly
benefited by the increase in grain ex-
ports.

cisco to the Pacific what New York Is to
the Atlantic. the permanent center Of
commerce.
