mysterious Defects In Engines.

Defects often develop in steam en-
gines and other machines that are very
mysterious in their origin and call for
great ingenuity in detecting the cause.
Unless man in charge of an engine
develops habits of close observation he
is likely to be easily beaten when any
thing unusual takes place.
We read lately of tendency to run
away of a Corliss engine, which was a
great mystery for a time. The engine
would speed up for a few moments
without any apparent cause and drop
back to its normal speed without any
thing being done. The engine was taken
apart and examined carefully, and par
ticular attention was devoted to the
governor, but nothing wrong could be
found One day, while the engineer
was looking at the engine, it suddenly
speeded'up about 90 revolutions above
the normal, and before the steam could
be shut off it dropped back to the regu-
lar speed. The engine was stopped, the
governor again taken apart, the valve
mechanism examined and a minute in
spection made over the whole machine,
and nothing could be found the matter.
Some Of the people about were be-
ginning to think this erratic engine was
acting outside Of natural laws and that
a real mystery surrounded the tendency
to run away. By accident the engineer.

to say:
Some of us who will not admit
that we are old remember when the
rod was considered as essential in IA
school as hlackboards or desks;
when 1t was fatal to the popularity
OF teacher to acquire n reputation

many occasions arise in our schools

punishment Is the most judicious and
effective remedy in such eases and
that question Is being rapidly set

GEN. LEE DENIES TT.

Consul General Lee empha tically de-
MES having given Senator-elect Money
any message whatever for Secretary OIL
ney during the Senator's recent visit to
Havana, and IL General Lee says so. 1t
is very apt to be So and no mistake.
General Lee is not the man to send
SO important message to the Secretary
of State as that ascribed to him.
The Consul General has shown great
discretion in handling the affairs OF his
consulship, both while at home. among
his people. as we'll as at his office. and
the regret 1t that he should have been
put IN the position which Senator Mon
ey's report to n New York paper has
placed him. Senator Money I'm letter
to the New York Journal asserts
the last thing General Fitzhugh Lee
said to me as left Havana was:
Please see Secretary Olney and tell him
that to-day / nm more firmly convinced
than ever that Spain can not put down
the instruction, and that every day It
continues means Il loss of life and prop
erty. without the remotest encourage
ment of any final Spanish success. AS
long since told him. the instruction
will succeed. My Judgment to that eff
feet receives daily confirmation
There IS no doubt that this represents
the true condition of affairs In Cuba. but
that General Lee sent such n message
to Secretary Olney is very much to be
doubted.
Indeed. General Lee, In n dispatch to
the New York Herald says: II gave
Mr.. Money no message of any nature to
MIR. olney," and this ought to settle the
matter. In fact common sense would
suggest that If the Consul General had
any communication to make TO the Sec
re:ary OF State, he would have done so
through the usual channels, which are
always open to him. and no. forward by
word of mouth message of such i'm
portance as that attributed to him.

THE FIGHT AGAINST rmETRUsTs

The antitrust law recently passed by
the Georgia Legislature is having the de-
sired effect, and from all accounts the
obnoxious concerns are folding their
tents and seeking other pastures green.
A similar law Is in force in Illinois,
but the Chicago Inter-Ocean declares
that while the law serves the purpose
Tor which 1t was enacted in Georgia
1t regrets to say that Illinois has never
had an Attorney General or a district
attorney able to enforce II, therefore the
majority of the people of the state have
forgotten that there is such a thing ms
an antitrust law on the statute-b books.
Ihe fault, however, as the New Or
leans States observes. rests with the
people Of Illinois themselves. who en-
trust the enforcement or their laws to
either incapable or unworthy men. If
its operation in Georgia is all that can
be desired, there is no reason why II

State the trusts will at once begin to
pack up their traps and move to safer

This IS very true. and if every State in

PLATES RETURN ro THE SENATE


The nomination OF the Hon Thomas
{. Plat by the caucus of the New York
Legislature. to succeed Senator D.
b. Hill in the United States
Senate, recalls the incidents which
led up TO the designations of
the former and the Hon. Roscoe
Conkling from the Senate. together
with the great effort made by them in
1881 To be returned as a vindcatiUn of
their action in rcsigning. II is not nee
cssary to reherse here the causes of the
retirement of the Senators. 1t Is not
out of place to say. however. that after
most bitter fight the Legislature re-
fused To return either of the gentlemen
to the Senate, from which they had re-
signed in u passion.
Mr.. Conkling, who was an exceed
ingly proud man. felt greatly humilat-
ed over his defcat,and in conversation
with Mr. Plat Immediately after the re-
suit of the balloting was made known,
said:
am done with politics. have
seen the full measure Of ingrati-
tude exhibited in this contest, ana
l have no desire ever again TO serve
those who are capable Of such
baseness."
Ihose who remember the course of
Mr. Conkling ever afterwards know full
well that he never had anything more
, to do with politics.
Mr.. Plat. however. was n different
man from Roscoe Conking, and In re-
plying to his remarks had this to say:
Il now begin politics From this
DAY shall devote myself to politics.
III l have been active heretofore, |
shall be twice as active henceforth
ana there are certain gentlemen I'm
the State of New York who will hear
from me If l am spared"
From that day to this Thomas c.
Plat has carried u long knife up his
sleeve. and more than one of 1.-THE GER
tain gentlemen who fought him in the
contest OF 1881 has felt its keen point
under the NTH rib. He has played
politics for all they were worth Some
times lie would be worsted and put out
side of the breast works; some times lie
would get on top. and then again hurled
down. but he has never forgotten "thc
certain gentlemen" who helped TO lay
himself and Roscoe Conkling on the
shelf.
"All things" 1t Is said, comes to him
who waits" The position of United
states Senator from the great State of
New York has come to Thomas c. piatt.

er or not the same knife lie put up his
sleeve i'm 1881 for "the certain gentle
