Tho Metric System.

Metric standards of weights and
measures have been adopted by twen-
ty-one countries, Great Britain and the
United States being the only prominent
exceptions. Before another year Great
Britain will. In all probability, have
passed an act legalizing the system In
the United Kingdom and providing for
the preparation Of a table Of eQuiva-
lents between the metric and the i'm
perial standards. This will leave the
United States In . conspicuous minor
ity among nations.
The British act, 1t should be noted, Is
mercy permissive. and the choice be
tween pounds and kilOs remains free
to every merchant: but even SO. II Is
q concession to the metric enthusiast,
In that 1t will lead to a more careful
teaching Of his system in the schools
and to q wider use Of it l.. dealings
with other nations. The metric syS-
tenn has much to conquer before it be-
strides toward ultimate success. Its
standards unQuestionably facilitate the
keeping Of accounts, and give one a
great deal In common with the rest Of
the world. With our decimal money
system We have a good start inade
upon the metric gradations. and our
arithmetic classes have always pail
more attention to the French standards
than corresponding classes in English
schools.
1t may be fifty, in may be one hun
ired years before the metric system
becomes the established method of ad-
justing weights and measures in all
civilized nations. The change Is grad
ually being effected, however, and mol
rapidly enough to entail confusion OF
sudden great cost. American scien-
lists have long asked for a compulsory
bill from Congress, and 1t Is likely that
we shall at least go as far as pariia
nent in this change before many more
sessions are ended.-Boston Journal

TWO POLITICAL FUNERALS
The Burial of the Currency Mes

A VERY TRAGIGAL. FARCE
The Utter Disrespect Shown to
Mr.. McKiDIey's Labor of Months
on the Money Question-Mr. Aid
rich's Humiliation-The Demo-
Gratis Correred the Republicans.

The currency message of the President
had a very curious and edifying experience
with the Senate Of the United states.
Nobody doubts at all that the President
was IN the plot TO make the grand stand
play which the sending OF this message
really was. 1t is perhaps within historical
truth TO say that no communication or
President was, either by design or accident,
treated with greater disrespect. IL came
INTO the Senate chamber like nobody's
child and no sooner had IL arrived than
the doors were closed ON IL.
When the Senate emerged into open
session the great disowned lay in state
on the Vice Presidents table. The Re-
publicans, in a two hours debate. never
mentioned it, even in ncidentally. This
gave Senators White, Bacon, Berry, and
Lindsay a splendid opportunity with mock
gravity to insist that the Republicans ought
not TO treat their President 5 message with
disTespect Mr.. Bacon insisted On at
least removing the sheet from the corpse
aud eventually the pallbearers ordered the
message TO speak, and it spoke. Then
It fell back on the desk and resumed its
desuetude.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Berry ex-
asperatcd MFR. Aldrich into d fit OF honesty,
and the latter said, practically: Gentle
men, we never had any idea OF having
this thing considered this session. IL was
a hard conundrum, but you guessed it the
first time" Having secured this humiliat-
ing admission, the currency message and
the currency Commission resolution were
not heard from again until precisely ten
minutes before the Adjournment OF Con-
gress sine die.
The night session or the senate was TO
be only fifteen minutes long. Nothing
kecner il sarcasm has been heard In the
Senate this session than the suggestion
OF Mr. White TO the Republicans that
they should not attempt 70 discuss the.
Presidents message and the currency COM
mission in those fifteen minutes.
When those fifteen minutes We're passing
away, one Republican Senator moved that
the message be referred to the Finance
| Committee, In those peculiar tones in which
one standing over dead body says. Yes,
| indeed, she was good woman." Then
| another Senator, it was Mr.. Cullom, of
| Illinois, moved, with hecomin e emotion, that
| the currency Commission bin be lowered
| into the open grave OF the Finance Com
| mittee. This was done, and the touching
| farewell of vice President Hobart to Wash
ington was interrupted frequently by the
sound of the clods dropping on the coffined

PARKS RIDE NOT A SUCCESS.
He Fails to Lower the Washington
Baltimore Cycle Record.

Harry Park. of this city, who yesterday
attempted to lower the records between
this city, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, failed to lower the Baltimore ecord,
and probably did not alter the New York
record. He left the east plaza OF the
Capitol at O'Clock sharp and arrived
in Baltimore at 9:59 O'Clock, making the
trip in 2 hours and 50 minutes, OF "a
minutes behind the time made by Henry
Smith, Raltrnorean.
He stopped at the Eutaw House for
forty minutes and started for philadelphia
and though tired and greatly worn, he
still had slight hope of reaching the
metropolis In time to smash a record.
He was accompanied as far as Baltimore
by Mr. George W. Wright, of the Century
Cycle Club, and had no pace makers
Mr.. Wright returned by train and said
that Park had no pace makers from
HyattSvil!e to Baltimore, and having u
strong head wind was unable to break
the record. He was ten minutes late at
Laurel
