Prof. Henry A. Rowland. of the Johns
Hopkins university, yesterday succeeded
in obtaining completely successful results
from an invention on which he has been
working since last summer.
For some time Prof. Rowland has had
planned in his mind an invention for
transmitting kilograms written upon a
typewriter at the place OF sending that
would be reproduced in typewriter form
at the receiving point. In the physical
laboratory of the university he put his
plan into practical operation. In addition
to the typeWriting part OF the invention,
Prof. Rowland, with his new machine,
can send over the same wire five or six
different messages at the same time in
one direction, which, in duplex, makes
ten or twelve messages that can be trans
mitted on the same wire at the same
time. Thus, with five operators at each
end of a line sending each an average
of thirty words a minute, 300 words can be
transmitted each minute.
D. Rowland has inquired at the patent
office in Washington and has been in
formed that no such invention has ever
been received e-typewriting tele-
graplly having been attempted before, but
upon entirely different principles. He has
used a synchronouS device in his invention
and in the mechanical arrangement of
the typewriter has used but eight signals,
the letters being produced in combina-
tons
The current of electricity transmitting
the message can be relayed and in this
manner the invention can be operated for
great distances
The model on which the professor has
been experimenting is much larger than
the invention will be when completed In
finished form the instrument, he says,
will be as convenient and as easily oper-
ated as the ordinary Geographic dispatch
ing and receiving apparatus. The inven-
words as a "multiplex printing tele-

TARIFF ANp FREE sILvER.
A Remarkable Invention for Trans
hitting typewriter Messages.

There is really no connection between
the tariff question and the free silver is
sue. The two things are entirely indie
pendent of each other, and there is no
justification for forcing them into legis-
lative association. These senators claim
to be in favor of protection, and yet they
form an alliance with its enemies to dis
credit it. The cause of free silver has
nothing to gain or to lose by any kind of
tariff legislation, and the pretenSe that 1t
is necessary to defeat the latter IN order
to be true to the former implies dishon-
esty- When Mr.. Teller proclaimS that he
and his Observation-Disclosures can set
along without the Republican party as
well as it can get along without them, he
Internationally acknowledges that they
care more about the silver mining inter-
ests of their states than they do about
Republican principles and politics. The
population of those states is only about
$4,000 all told, and these senators de-
clare that this comparatively small num-
Der of people must have a discrimination
made in their favor at the expense of all
OF the other inhabitants of the country, or
there shall be no legislation with regard
to matters in which the population of all
the states is deeply concerned. There is
nothing to be said in support of extenua-
ton of such a theory. It is wrong in
every respect. and those who offer 1t as
an 9rgument to justify Republicans in
anti-Republican action may be sure that

DRoADENoE OF THE SENATE.

a great deal has been said about
the "decadence of the senate recently.
No doubt there have been greater men
in the senate than are there today, but
the chief ground upon which the
charge is based is that it will not at
this time do the will of the house
The house is as strongly opposed to
and it would make tariff the para
mount issue of the day. There are
enough friends of silver in the senate
to prevent this and insist upon legis-
lation in behalf Of silver. The pros
pect for this is remote indeed, but the
insistence upon it is forcing the money
issue to the front in spite Of every
thing. For years the people had the
tariff before them as an issue and they
finally passed Judgment upon it when
they condemned the Mckinley bill.
They may be ready to take it up again
at a future time but they are not pre-
pared to do so at present Instead Of
talking so much about the decadence
Of the senate do not those who indulge
in it miss the real question? The real
decadence is in the tariff as an issue.
Try as It's friends will it cannot be
made a live, active issue, such an issue
as the people will accept and be will
ling to do battle for. The only real,
ever-present, wont-down issue of the
day is money. That put in plain
terms is this: Shall the country have
the single gold standard or the double
standard of gold and silver. with free
coinage for both metals? The poll
ticians and the patriots are doing,
and will continue to do, all in their
power to avoid facing it, but face it
they must. The cry of the decadence
Of the senate is a mere subterfuge in
the hope of diverting the public atten-
ton from the actual issues of the day.
The senate may be decadent; the gold
bugs and their champions certainly
are.

THE COLLEGE COURSE.

1t has been proposed at Harvard to
shorten the college course from four
years to three. The Boston Herald
says the idea does not seem very popu-
lar among those who are discussing it;
that the prevalent notion appears to
be that the four years course is short
enough, considering all the advantages
offsetting it. 1.-The best things gained
from a college course are inspiration
and mental discipline, and these are
less the product of the classroom than
of the constant contact of young men
with each other during the most Inn
questionable years of their life"
Whatever action Harvard may take
will have great influence with the uni
versities and colleges throughout the
land. But the requirements for ad-
mission to that university are greater
than the graduating requirements Of
many colleges which confer degrees,
and so it happens that what might be
wise in Harvard would be unwise else
where
One great trouble with American col
leges and universities is the disparity
everywhere existing in the standards
for admission and graduation. The
majority of the young men who go up
to college have not been well fitted.
the chief aim having been to pass the
entrance examination. The conse-
quence is that they are not prepared
to make the most of their oynortuni
ties. while the colleges are hampered
in their work So long as such a con-
dition of things exists it would seem
an unwise thing to reduce the college
course from four to three years. The
main obstacle in the way of higher
education is better preparatory schools.
The lack of them retards and handi-
caps the colleges and universities and
will continue to until it is recognized
by all interested in education through
out the country, and remedied.

WICHITA FALLS LYNCHING CON-
DElINED.

There was lynching at Wichita
Falls, Texas, the other day. 1t was
witnessed by some thousands of peo-
pie, presumably all the "oest families"
being in attendance. 1t was a lynching
of the ordinary kind, there being no
sffrills," such as torturing, maircSag
and burning of the victims The leu
tenant governor of the state, George
r. Jester, IN the absence of Governor
Culberson, sent message to Sheriff
c. NJ. Moses at Wichita Falls in which
the violation of the law is condemned.
He says:
knowing that you were aided in their
arrest by the state rangers, supposed
you were amply prepared to defend
and protect the prisoners. AS to your
inability to control the mob I am not
Informed. If you were powerless to
prevent it, it is your only excuse for
this violation of the law in failing to
discharge your duty That Crawford
and Lewis were guilty OF a foul muir
der and should have been tried accord
ing to law and found guilty Of murder
and hung, I do not doubt but those
who participated in taking the law into
their own hands committed an act

ing citizens, and casts q blot on the

there will stand in the chairman of
the national committee the silver king
from Montana, holding the slight hut
powerful sceptre of the silver vote in
the senate and ruling the convention
with a force which. as far as can now
be seen, will be absolutely irresistible
And if this be the situation at St.
Louis what will be the duty of the
Democratic party in its convention at
Chicago? The party that stands firm
Tor sound money, as against party
that heSitates and compromises with
the silver movement, is bound to win,
and the duty of the Democratic party
is unflinchingly to adopt that policy
which is sure to win and with which
the prosperity of the country for many
years to come is absolutely secure.
To this the Cincinnati Enquirer
makes this answer:
If the Republican party, a great ma
1orlty of which is for the gold policy.
is going to split or have trouble or de-
Ieat on the silver question, how is the
democratic party going to be unified
on policy in savage and unrelenting
hostility to silver? Naturally the
INSURE in the Democracy would be
WIDER and deeper than that dividing
the Republicans.
And SO, what would be the merry
war; if such vast interests and mighty
consequences were not at stake, goes
on The one cheering circumstance in
the whole situation is, that with the
earnestness that is growing, and the
determination that is forming within
all parties to the controversy, not to
accept of compromise, one may see
that we have arrived at that stage of
the case when all pretense shall van
ish away and the question will be put
in the way of settlement.

That is very good SO far as it goes,
but it scarcely goes far enough. The
acting governor should have Instructed
the sheriff to arrest the rinsleaders
of the mob that they might be brought
to trial. They committed murder no
matter how great the provocation.
That is the serious part of these lynch
fngs, viewed from the standpoint OF
law and order, that one crime is held
to justify the commission of another
Until public sentiment is educated up
to the point where such a theory is
repudiated lynchings will continue.
Acting Governor Jester realizes this
when he says that "out best citizens
should be required and feel that it is
their patriotic duty to serve on juries
and generally contribute their influence
to elevating and enforcing the laws. y
Sound doctrine surely The strength
of law is the strength of the public
