Adopt the Metric system.

Since 1910. when it was authoritative
ly adopted by France, the metric sys-
TEN of weights and measures has won
its way into recognition by every i'm
portant civilized nation with only three
xceptlons--England, Russia and the
United States. A bill is today before
congress to legltimatize the metric sys-
TEN in this country on and after Jan,
1, 1901, and 1t should pass.
The reasons for 1t are many: the one
reason against 1t Is unimportant. It is
argued that the change would prove
confusing, which no doubt would for
a time be true. But as a recompense
we should have the consolation of emf
hent company In the confusion; we
should reduce the total number of our
measuring terms by nearly fifty per
cent; and most important of all, we
should be in vastly better condition to
bid successfully for larger trade rela-
tions with the sister republics of Latin
America, which without exception are
committed to the metric system.
The tendency of the times Is toward
international uniformity. The talk is
for international arbitration, interna-
tlonal bimetallism, international penny
postage, international expositions, GEN.
sus enumerations, exploration parties
and .other things almost innumerable.

Resortiug to an Old Trick.

The Philadelphia Record is the one
Democratic newspaper coming in our
mails that has the hardihood to credit
the Wilson bill with being better
revenue producer than the Mckinley
bill. 1t reaches this conclusion by COM
pairing the receipts during the last nine
teen months Of the latter law with the
receipts during the first nineteen
months Of the Wilson law. and showing
they were SS2,5OO.OOO less.
1t does not. however, supplement its
figures by explaining that during the
last nineteen months Of the Mckinley
law imports were held back by foreign
dealers in the expectation that the
American tariff would be lowered by
the Democrats. This dammed-up vol
ume of imports was let loose as soon
as the Wilson law took effect. which
accounts for the momentarily greater
revenue under that law. The squirt
however, soon subsided. Under the
Mckinley law, the revenue was so pal
pable that the Democratic press con-
stantly worried about the surplus.
Under the Wilson law, after the first
rush of belatcd imports was over. the
only sure result achieved was an equal
ly conspicuous deficit. which is admit
ted by Carisle's own figures.
We would not take the trouble to
correct misrepresentation so patent
as is the Records We're 1t not that the
Democrats, in desperation. seem to be
slowly drifting to a renewal of the tao
ties of statistical jugglery and falslfi-
cation employed by them. with rare
success. in 1890 and 1897 1t Is worth
while reminding a fooled public not to
put additional confidence in their two
time deceivers.

mentioned as possible opponents, we do
not know with what authority. The
charge against Leisenring is ingrati-
tude to friends. This is one of the in
evitable features of political life AS
to the basis of the present charge we
know nothing, but we are ready to
predict that Mr.. Leisenring will have
very little difficulty in securing a re-

Under these circumstances 1t would be
