MORE TAMPERING WITH TIME.

What will doubtless prove a futile at
tempt to alter the measurement Of time
is now being made in France. The deci-
NAL system is substituted for the duo
decimal and sexigesimal now used in
reckoning fractions Of day. The clock
dial is divided into ten sections. in
stead of twelve, each CT them subdi-
vided into ten, instead Of five, and
only one revolution Of the shorter hand
instead of two, effected each day. The
day. from midnight to midnight, is d.
Yided into 100 equal parts, each known
as a 'ces," and each equal to IA min
utes "a seconds Of the present scale
The "ces" is the unit Of measurement.
Ten "ces' make a "decaces," equal to
hours "A miautcs, and ten "decaces'
make a "hectoces," or day of "A hours
The entire circuit Of the clock-dial,
therefore, is a "hectoces," or day; the
ten major divisions, substituted for the
twelve now pointed off by the hour
hand" are each "decaces;" and the
100 minor divisions substituted for the
so now pointed off by the minute
hand are each a tees" If a smaller
secondary dial is used, with a third
hand. corresponding TO the second
hand" of watch, it viii be divided
into ten "decices," or tenths Of ICES"
and perhaps Of them subdivided into
ten "centices," or hundredths Of a
"ces." while for exact computations
there will also be the "mlllices," or
thousandth Of "ces." Under this sys-
TEN midnight, instead Of being l.
o'clock, is 100 ces," or 10 decaces;"
noon is $50 ces," and o'clock in the
morning is "25 ces."
Clocks and watches are being thus
constructed and used, and the system
has been experimentally adopted in the
geographical bureau of the French
army. 1t is urged in its favor that 1t
diminishes the work of calculation by
two-thirds, and lessons the chances Of
error from four TO one. That may be
true. Unquestionably the system is a
simple and logical one in itself Yet,
Ike the recent proposition to change
the reckoning Of hours so that instead
4f counting from one to twelve twice
over in a day we count from one to
twenty-four, it is in all probability
doomed to failure. The present system
may be less simple. But it has existed
for many centuries, and is accepted by
every civilized people in the world. It
Will not readily be displaced. More
over, the proposed system is not com
plete, and cannot possibly be made so.
The day may be decimally divided, but

THE FIGHT Jusr BHGuN.

The fight has Just commenced" MIR,
Bryan for once is right. says the Pion-
Ger Press, The snake is scotched, not
killed, The campaign OF education
which resulted in the complete defeat
for the time being OF the efforts OF the
people has only just commenced. Grand
as was the preliminary victory achiev-
ed on election day, It is an appalling
thought that victory was only secured
by narrow margin in several neces-
sary states, II Indiana. which seemed
TO hang in the scales for day or two,
together with California. Oregon and
the two Dakotas. had gone the other
way. God only knows what would have
become Of this unhappy land. That
there are six million full-grown men in
voting for Bryan when voting for him
meant such a train of calamities for
them and for all the people OF this
country as was never visited upon the
people OF any civilized country before
in time OF peace, is something to excite
alarm at the future destiny Of a repub-
lie whose popular vote so nearly wreck
ed the foundations OF public order and
prosperity
Mr.. Bryan has given notice that he
proposes to devote himself for the next

the money question. 1t is to be hoped
he may But he will not have the field
all to himself, as the silver propaganda
had for many years until a little over
a year ago, The country has come to
understand his methods of education
They consist OF assertion without proof
of the reiteration OF assertions a
thousand times refuted In defiance Of
all proof-of speculative supposition as
demonstrated facts-of propositions
which contradict each other-of tan
gle of sophistries and fallacies-of err
rors of ignorance and errors of inten-
tion--of ad captandum appeals to class
prejudice-of the froth and foam of
rhetorical declamation-the phosphor-
escent glitter OF mind in decay.
Before Mr.. Bryan goes on his next
campaign of education he had better
get himself educated in the elements
of the money question. Is it simple is-
norance or is II boundless audacity
which led him in the address he
gave out few days ago to the bimetal-
lists of the United States to speak of
the cause he has been advocating as
bimetallism? A man who calls the bald
Of free coinage at the
ratio Of 16 to by this country alone
a man who deliberately calls this BIZ
a good deal Of educa-
ton himself before he undertakes to
educate others.
But he is right. The fight has Just
commenced. The campaign OF educa-
ton is just begun. and we think we can
promise Mr.. Bryan before that cam
1aign is ended there will not be a sin
yle congressional constituency in the
United States so ignorant and so de-
uded as to send a free silver represcn-
ative to congress. Before it is ended
10 state in the Union win be represent
d in the senate by a free silver advo-
ate. And it will have progressed so
ar before 1900 that the free silver party
gill have disappeared from the face

The continued fluctuations in the
wheat market, the closing of many
large deals and the rise in the Liver
pool market, with increased demands
from Russia, all indicate that America
for many months. will be the source Of
supply Of breadstuffs for a large por-
ton Of the world. The action Of the
English government in providing extra
work for the famished people Of India
will enable hundreds Of thousands TO
at least procure brad. The condition
Of country whose people are starving
is not pleasant to contemplate, and
England's prompt succor is certainly
worthy of commendation. America will
Of course be more than glad to send its
surplus wheat abroad.

intelligent man. The archbishop GER
