On May 16 an electric current, gene
rated by Niagara Falls and transmitted
through wire to the electric exhibi-
ton building in New York, Was en-
ployed to start a message on a circuit
of $4,000 miles. The message consisted
of these words: God creates, nature
treasures, science utilizes electric
power for the grandeur Of nations and
the peace of the world" From New
York the message went to Chicago
Los Angeles, Vancouver, Montreal and
Canso. Having thus made the circuit
of u large part of the United States,
the words were taken up by the Allan
tic cable and transmitted to London,
from which point they flashed on
through Lisbon, Gibraltar, Malta, Suez,
Bombay and Singapore to Tokyo
From Japan they were returned to Lon
don, and so minutes after they had left
New York Thomas A. Edison received
them back again from the wire in the
exhibition building. The larger part
of this time had been expended in re.
transmitting the message at several
points along the route, where a change
was necessary from land to cable lines
and vice versa.

Another Victim of Avarice.

In their greed for money there seems
to be no limit to the avarice of the men
who have obtained control Of the great
corporations of this country. This is
particularly true of railroad officials,
and their work as wreckers is now so
well known that the ordinary person
considers for some time before investing
his earnings in the stock of any of them
Road after road has passed through
the mill of Wall street, with its re-
ceivers, reorganization committees and
other highsalaried figure-headS, and
what the president and his corps have
left untouched they pluck with dex-
terity that comes from long practice.
The poor old Reading and its unfortu-
nate stockholders present standing
Illustration of the danger of investing
money in corporations where the hold
ers of shares have nothing to do but to
step up periodically and pay $40 or $50
assessment. The Reading, however, is
not the only one run on these principles,
but it is probably the one whose history
is known best in this vicinity.
Today there are only few railroad
corporations in which it is thought that
money can be placed with any degree of
certainty that it will not be swept away.
One of these is the Jersey Central, and
those who are in position to know Of
the scheming behind the scenes have
given their friends a warning to get out.
The Central is said to be marked (by
the ''Sound money" crowd, and is rapid
ly nearing the point when its stock will
30 tumbling downward. Like when the
lid was lifted few months ago from the
Baltimore and Ohio, and an appalling
state of corruption and juggling with
finances and figures was brought to light,
the inside workings OF the Jersey Cen
tral will prove still more astonishing.
The prediction has been made mot in
the daily papers of course, they don't
tell of such things until the innocents
are entangled in the meshcS) that before
the end of the century the company
named above will be in worse plight
financially than the Reading is today.
1t is such happenings as these that
Shatter the credit of this nation. Free
silver talk has been loaded down with
the blame of every business failure and
disaster for the past four years, but the
truth of the matter is that one such
occurrence does more to invite diStrust
than all the silver talk of ages. In no
country of the world would men be
allowed to wreck and ruin corporations
as they are in America. Should they
attempt such in another nation they
would be banished or jailed as enemies of
the public welfare, but here they are
regarded as Napoleons of Finance
and are looked upon as oracles and
sages whose voice and vote are needed
against dishonest money" "repudia-
tion, anarchy" etc,

Dishonesty Shielded.

The country readers who depend upon
the Philadelphia newspapers to furnish
them with all the news political or
otherwise, are seldom given what they
have right to expect. In no city in
the United States is the man with a
pull better protected in newspaper
offices than in Philadelphia, for the
publishers there are like men of putty
in the hands of the political and social
rulers. There is more independence
exhibited in each issue of the average
country weekly than any Philadelphia
daily can show in year.
Editors Smith, Mcclure, Elverson,
Singerly, etc, may boast of their fear
less sheets, but not one OF them dared to
tell of the flight of exDistrict Attorney
George S. Graham, nor oven intimate
that he is a defauter to the extent of
hundreds of thousands.
News of this character is not with
in the province of the country press.
People look to the metropolitan papers
to inform them of these things, and it
is nothing to the credit of journalism
when the facts are suppressed because
the criminal happens to have intluen-
tial friends.
Graham's case, however, is not the
first that has been treated with silence
by the city journals, but it is one which
should not have been passed over.
The entire city is talking of the abscon-
der and the probable amount he is short,
and the men who should give out this
information through the newspapers
they control are as silent as clans.
They are slaves to the powers that rule
in Philadelphia and do not possess a
spark of manly independence.
Nevertheless, they hold themselves up
to the readers of their papers as leaders
who should be followed in politics.
They prate about the dishonesty of silver
advocates, but when real dishonesty APP
pears in their own clique they shield the
thieves and deceive their readers by
suppressing the news. Nice men, in.
deed, are they for the voters to accept
as ideal leaders.

Is there anything in the peculiar
character of John Bardsley's physical
ailments-which the physicians declare
should promptly assure his pardon-that
would have been seriously aggravated
by his telling all he knows OF his accom-
pliccs in the million-dollar robbery of
public funds? There are some who
think that executive clemency in Bards-
ley's case should at least be preceded by
confession of this sort. But perhaps
that would mar the programme of some
of the anonymous philanthropists who
are working so disinterestedly for the
pardon.-EG.

The compulsory school law is likely to
be Il failure so far as its enforcement is
concerned. Owing to the provision for
school census being rather ambiguous
the registration by the assessors through
out the state has not been satisfactory,
and school authorities say the returns
are absolutely worthless. There is rea-
son to believe that the efforts of the
compulsory educators will utterly fail.
At least some amendments are necessary
to make the act enforceable. No atten-
tion, whatever, has been, apparently,
paid to the statute in this section.

Limitations Of the Bicycle.

The question has arisen: Has the
bicycle come to stay?" From the num-
ber now in use and being manufactured
every day it would seem to be safe to
say that it has. Yet there are, here
and there, indications of at least fall
ing off in the popularity of the wheel"
For instance, Chicago paper of recent
date has this notice: "Will exchange q
high-grade safety for upholstered sofa
or easy-chair." Here, comments New
York contemporary, is some one who
has had his fill of cycling. The wheel
no longer offers excitement for him.
He has tried to extract from it the
health and pleasure the enthusiasts
have pictured, and to him they have
proved but Dead sea apples. 1t may
be that he has attempted to conquer
the machine without expert aid. lie
has seen the old cyclist spin along with
out seeming care, and has imagined it
no trick at all. But half hours prac-
tlce has shown him the contrary and
left him in u condition which makes re-
pose in soft chair or on a softer sofa
appear the acme of human bliss. He is
just in the mood to say, with Tenny-
son: Better SO years of Europe than
a cycle of Cathay," or any other cycle,
high grade, low grade or no grade at
all. All this goes to show that while
the bicycle has achieved phenomenal
popularity it nevertheless has its limi-
tations. 1t is a good thing, but some
there are who are not fitted to push
it along Thus it comes that while
one is ready to barter the comforts of
home for a wheel, another is equally
eager to get rid of the pesky thing,
even if compelled to trade it for yell
low dog. That is the way of the world
in all things, and the bicycle, popular
as it is, cannot change the established
order.

his memory was paid by company Of

lighted them, and he had been the giver.
The hour of the funeral came. The
lame made their way across the street
to say farewell to their friend The

coffin. When the procession moved, n
long line of those who might not be
healed, but who could notforget, formed

John J. Morahan has filed objections
to the nomination papers OF Wi an II.
RutleGge as the nominee for the gisla-
ture Of the Democratic party of the fifth
district Of this county. Among the
objections is that Rutledge was not
nominated by tho convention of the
Democratic party of that district and
that the names of the men appearing on
the certificate of the nomination were
not officers OF the convention.
One of the bcst-postod men in the
country on the money question is John
Mccarthy, formerly editor of the I[azle-
ton Sentinel. Jack could be employed at
his own price by the "sound money"
faction to prepare literature for them.
but he can't write against his convictions
and is still doing good missionary work

this campaign,
Candidate Kuntz, of Lattmcr, is one
politician who believes in Advertising
and the many little useful devices which
he is distributing among the voters will
go long way in making his name a
familiar one.

open the campaign in this county on
September II by a big ratification meet
