Philadelphia Record: Ex-senator In
gals has authorized the publication or a
statement. In which he predicts tnat the
President will have to call an extra ses-
sion OF Congress to secure the settle
ment OF the currency question, and he
thus drops a leaf of prophecy:
As to the contest for the Republican
Presidential domination In 1895. 1t will
be three-cornered fight between Reed,
Mckinley and Harrison. and some such
man as Bob Lincoln will walk OF with the
nomination
Mr.. Ingalls, facilities for seeing through
milestone may be no better than those
of the average unoccupied statesman with
plenty of leisure 10 study the POSSIBLE
ties of the political cbess-board, but his
phraseology Is always crisp, and his pre-
diction that a candidate not In the nght
may walk of with the nomination Is IN
teresting. and while not especially natter

New York Sun: The orders just given
10 rear Admiral BcarnSlet, coiiiihahNihS
the Pacific station, direct him to send to
sea as soon as practicable, the vessels OF
his command that have been so long
hanging about Mare Island. But at the
same time these orders direct that the
vessels shall be kept where they can be
easily reached by Geographic commune
cation.
These are instructions with string to
them The Admiral has perfect liberty
in the disposal Of his fleet, only ne must
not have them out of reach by wire. That
is another way of telling him That he
must not send one Of his vessels to Homo
lulu. which has no cable communication
He may. scatter his ships along the coast,
up and down. but he must not send them
TO Hawaii or Samoa, where they are
needed
What shall be said of the persistent
Withholding Of vessels from these places
under such circumstances, and with moth
ing elsewhere callrS for their presence
or services?

A LESSON IN eKEPUBLiCANISM AND
SOCIALISM.

The difference between the way things
are done by Government and by ind-
viduals is most strkingly illustrated in
the facts relating TO the construction OF
the two new cruisers, Cincinnati and
Raleigh.
The two ships were authorized by the
act of Congress approved September z,
1883. Congress fixed the limit Of their
cost at 600 each, exclusive OF arna-
ment. The Cramps bid to construct their
hulls and machinery for $4,000 each,
but as that was above the limit fixe1
by the act the bid was refused and the
construction Of them undertaken by the
Government at its own navy-yards-ihe
Cincinnati at New York and the Raleigh
at Portsmouth, Va.
An account sheet prepared for Chair

Appropriations. by the Bureau OF sup

WITHOUT WATER.
Unprecedented Drouth in Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey.

Somerset county, New Jersey, is suffering
the memory of the oldest inhabitants. From
all sections of the county come reports of
farmers hauling water for farm uses, of dried
up streams and wells, of scorched pasture
fields, of falling leaves, and all other conse-
quences incident to the extended drought In
the lower townships the corn crops will not
nearly come up to the earlier calculations.
Fruit has not natured, and in some instances
is dropping badly. The cattle cannot subsst
on the parched fields, and many of the farm
ers are feeding them.
The Raritan river, which supplies the towns
of Somerville and Raritan with water for do
nestle uses, is so low that the water company
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of notifying the
consumers to use water as economically as
possible. 1t is also feared that sickness NAV
result from water supply where the river is
too low to sweep out the impurities. Already
several cases of typhoid fever are reported.
Prayer was offered in many of the churches
on Sunday that rain might come
Gloucester, Salem, Camden and other
counties are similarly situated and in others
forest fires are destroying the timber, orchards,
buildings, game, etc.
In Eastern Pennsylvania, the most disas.
trous results are reported. In Berks, Mont
gomery Bucks, Centre, Lebanon, Delaware
and Chester counties very little seeding has
been done, corn has dried up, pasture so
short that the milk supply is failing, mills
closing and other industries running on short
time.

Prepare for 1896.

In 1891 Grover Cleveland made a speech
in Brooklyn. New York. He said
''On the threshold of the great campaign of
1899. when the country will be called upon to
elect a President and a new House of Repre-
senatives, it is no time to smart oyer petty
places or to pay personal spites or grudges. :;
For the result of this canvass will be taken as
of national OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES we wish or
intend it so or not-and will influence the re-
suit next year.
Here is what the Chicago Chronicle said
last week

The results at the polls in 1895 are regarded
as of profound meaning in relation to the re.
suits of 1896.
Every Democratic gain this year is a sign
of Democratic victory next year. If the late
Republican majorities are reversed or mate
rally reduced the election of n Democratic
President next year is assured.
The campaign this year is preliminary TO
the greater one next. Advantages gained
this year will materially assist in the presi-
dental contest. Let all Democrats remember

Then and Now.

In 1887. when the political conditions were
the same as now, the Baltimore Sun said
There is no pretense that this is anything
but contest between the Democratic and the
Republican parties, the latter aided by desert
ers from the former. who offer neither apology
nor excuse for their conduct except that they
cannot trust their own party to keep its prom
ises, but can trust the other The logic of
this would. of course. land those who present
it permanently in the Republican fold but
they tell MS in the same breath that they pro-
pose to rescue the State next year and hand it
over to the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. This is precisely what they can
not do, even if they so desire, which may well
be doubted. Let any intelligent man think
what the situation will be if the Republican
State and city tickets are elected 1t is per-
iectly well known that the possession of all the
political patronage of State is tremendous
lever of power. However it may reflect upon
the public virtue to state the proposition. we
know from all the experience of the past that
men see their political duty only too often
from the standpoint of their own interests

Buying Worsted Mills.
From the New York times

Those who have been told repeatedly by
Republican newspapers that the wooden and
worsted industries were paralyZed by the new
tariff. and who are informed even now bv the
same journals that the condition of those in
dustries continue to be deplorable, must find
it difficult to understand why English capital
lists who have made their fortunes in the man
ufacture of wOolens and worsteds are investing
money in American factories. In July last
they came over and bought the Fulton Wor-
sted Mills. situated at Oswego Falls, in this
State, said to be the largest concern of the
kind in this country. A few days before the
sale was made the American owners vOlun-
tarily increased the wages Of their 700 en-
ployes, and it was reported at the same time
that the wof ks were running night and day.
This purchase was made especially perplex-
ing to misinformed Republicans by the fact
that the buyers were men from Bradford-the
centre of the English worsted industry
thoroughly familiar with everything pertaining
to the manufacture Of worsted aud WOODEN
goods and with the effect of the new tariff
upon English competition in the American
market They did not believe that the new
duties would let in from their own city n
flood of worsteds large enough to drive the
American manufacturers ont Of business, and
while the Mckinley newspapers were publish
ing columns of gloomy stuff about such a
flood and the depressing effect of It they
were quietly completing the purchase of the
factories at Oswego Falls.

Lowndes and Reassessment.

The foremost advocate of the Republican
ticket in this state is the Baltimore SIM. and
the foremost opponent of every assessment
hill that has been proposed in or passed by Il
Democratic Legislature was the same Balli-
more SIM. birds of feather flock tOgeth
er.' If the Sun did not believe that Mr..
Lownde> was opposed 70 the passage of an
assessment law that would require all persons
10 contribute to the support Of government
cording to their actual worth in real and person
al property. it would not be supporting him.
Its real objection to Mr.. Hurst is that he will
do his utmost as Governor to secure the enact
ment of reaSsesment law that will assess all
property. Its ostensible objection is that his
nomination was the result of ''boss-rule "
There was no more abiect follower of Senator
German in the state than :he SIM was until
the Senator declared that the people wanted
a reasSessment of the property of the state
and ought to have it. 1t is neither honest,
Just nor fair. but selfish to the last degree
To escape Just taxation it is frantic to have
Mr.. Lowndes elected. and the fact that it is
for Lowndes is strong evidence that LOwndes
is opposed to any just and fair assessment.
