The General Situation.

The break up Of the Prohibitionist
national convention last week over the
silver question and the nomination OF
two tickets for that supposedly one idea
party, followed by the sweep of Ken
lucky by the Democratic primaries,
with the general conviction now that
free silver is toscontrol at Chicago aGd
the probability that the Democracy
will split into two parts, only proves
what has been growingly evident for
months, that the counry must face a
desperate struggle on the money quos'
stion, with mixture of issues and
parties such as ii has never known be
fore The Republican party comes near
to holding intact, primarily because it
is within smelling distance of the flesh
pots, but che fly because it has can
didate who satisfies all but the most
extreme of the silver men. 1t IS p retty
nearly certain that the Republicans
will have bolt, but it will be of small
Dimensions extending only to half a doz-
en- small states that together represent
less than 40 electoral votes. II is evil
dent now that if its nomination had
be en- won by AN unimstakable gold
bug like Morton. or perhaps even
Reed, instead, as is practically the fact,
by Mckinley, of whose opinions any
thing can be imagined, it would have
meant "A disruption of the party no less
serious than now threatens the Democ
racy. Gen. ::WeaverIis right, flor .the
time being, when he says: "Thelwhole

More Inventions

Ever since the discovery If the \
rays those two wizards of electricity,
Edison. and, Tesla, have beensat ssworE
to apply the power, or whateversitlis,
to commercial purposesyIof lighting.
Edison successfully made the first stcl
when he applied the rays, whichsPro
Rocntgcn could only use by means oi
the Photographic plate, so as to enable
the naked eye to look through Opaque
substances. Now hc.announces success
ful experiments in their utilization FOR
Illuminating purposes. In doing 81
he coats the interior OF his vacuum
tubes with an unnamed chemical
whose crystals have the singular
q uality of translating invisible Xirays
into rays which have the effect ofior-
binary light on our optic nerves. lie
says the new electric light produced in
his way requires but 80. 6 foot pounds
of energy per second for each candle
power, while the best ircandescent
lamp requires l3S pounds This means
of course, a reduction of more than two
thirds in the cost OF electric lighting.
The explanation is that the y rays
undergo some organic change in pass
ing through the crystals Of the sub
stance with which the bulb is coated.
There is practically no heat generated.
Therefore all of that energy. whichsin
the incandcscent lamp is wasted in
heat is turned into light Sin this new
lamp. The only practical difiiculty.i
that the coating of the crystals now
keeps cracking during the process, but
he is onfident that he will soon rem

new light will be ready for the mar.

The silver men in the Democrat,
party, surprised at their own success,
are somewhat bothered for candidate
They have no man of commanding pc
sition. Bland has little strength out
eide of his own state. Boies is toe
new to the party to Just suit.
Morrison is talked of as a sort of com
promise, but he really is not in sym
pathy with them. Gov Matthews has
FASTENED to throw himself full length
on that side, but is received with some
distrust. Wee President Stevenson is
more favorably regarded, but he has
not opened his mouth on the question
for several years. and the chief reason
for supposing him silver man is that
he was greenbacker Is years ago.
Other talk is of Il com bination ticket
that shall unite all silver elements,
with Senator Teller for President and
some man like Senator Daniel of Nir-
ginia, Senator Blackburn of Kentucky
or SpeakerCrisp of Georgia for vice
president when it is figured to get
Democratic national convention to lead

head of its.tickct, revolt and bolt are of

1t is matter of simple arithmetic
that the free silver Democrats propose
nothing but suicide for their party for
this year They are shouting inltheir
ensthusasm that free silver platform
and ticket will suit the whole West
andSouth so that they may safely let the
party collapse IN New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut. But the error in
this calculation is that the great mass
of silver Republicans are going to be
satisfied with Mckinley and are going
to vote for him, especially il he stands
on straddle platform, as is probable,
while in nearly every state. except Il
few of those in the South, there will be
enough sound money men who will re
fuse to vote the ticket, to leave it to
defeat.
