In announcing the permanent or
ganizatlon of the anti-Quay forces in
Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Record
says It is contemplated to have each
insurgent leader sign a pledge not to
succumb 20 temptations from the
enemy. The Record is unkind.
Right upon the heels Of Edward At

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record, Mr.. W. f. Curtis an
nounces that Senator Hanna will, on
account of i'll health, decline a re-elec-
tion as national chairman. and says
that Senator Penrose is prominently
mentioned as his successor. Mr. Curtis

The infleXibility Of the eight-hour
law is illustrated in the complaints
made at the recent postmasters' con-
VentiOn in Washington. Under the
law no letter carrier dare be employed
on any day more than eight hours,
overtime being forbidden. Some days
when the mail is light, the carriers
work can be done in six or even i've
hours. Other days, when the mail is
heavy, it cannot be done in eight
hours, and carriers have to stop work
on routes with delivery uncompleted.
The postmasters want congress to
amend the law so as to make flrty-
eight hours a weeks work, with the
permission to work the carriers nine
hours in emergencies, on condition that
all overtime shall be made good. on
its face this seems a reasonable re-
quest, and We believe that reasonable
men would be willing to grant 1t.

The men years ago who tried to legIs-
late their fellow -citizens into heaven
by their statutes and acts of parlia-
ment on religious matters were Just as
wise as the men who now believe that
new constitutional provisions and new
statutes will take the place of common
honesty in the citizens of a state. What
statute or constitutional provision will
prevent men from stuffing the ballot
box before the election begins, as was
done in Philadelphia at the last cleo
ton. unless we have honest election
officers who will prevent such frauds?
The only provision now needed in Penn
sylVania to secure honest elections Is
one that will provide us with honest
men to do the voting, and honest cleo
tion officers to do the counting. At
present there seems to be mournful
scarcity in both departments. Josh
Billings said some years ago that he
was afraid the time might come when
there would not be honesty enough in
the world to do the business with. That
Is the trouble at present with our poll
tics. And yet we are insisting on our
right to bless the Cubans and the Fill
pinos with just such institutions as
these.

POLITICAL DISHONESTY.
Of The Tribune

Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue of today you quote
from Philadelphia paper some COM
ments on the Langstaff- Kelly election
contest, and then make some comment
OF your own on the subject. But you
miss. and so far as have seen all our
other journals have missed one side of
this subject. l refer to the utter fail
ure to punish or attempt to punish
illegal voters and dishonest election
officers. Some of our journals are call
ing loudly for ballot reform, and others
are demanding new constitutional pro-
visions so that our elections will seem
less like a game Of cards or a horse
race in the integrity of the results
reached. But in fact the greatest OF
our difficulty in relation to the fran
chise is the want OF a strong, healthy
moral tone in the community. Men
who claim to be honorable will do in
political matters what would cost n
man his life in the lowest gambling
den in the country. That is, men who
are engaged in politics pay less atten-
ton to the laws of honor than gamb-
lers. And no great discredit attaches
to these things in the public mind
Sodom and Gomorrah did not do much
worse. only it was not in politics that
their shortcomings appeared, and their
regulations have suffered in conse-
quence.

A Wonderful Invention.

From Vienna comes the report of Won
derful invention of an Austrian engineer
by means of which steamships travelling at
high rate of speed can be brought at an
instant notice to standstill without
stopping the engines. The invention takes
the form of brake, and its use, as is
obvious, is to prevent collisions happening
at sea. Tests were made of the new brake
with steamship of 5000 tens, and this
vessel when running at the rate of twelve
knots an hour was brought to a standstill
in thirty seconds, and before she had
traversed forty feet. This, too, in spite of
the fact that the engines were working
ahead with undiminished power, Results
equally satisfactory were made in every test
undergone Experts who have gone into
the question of the utility of the invention
thoroughly and its practicability state that
the brake can be fitted to any ship of any
size and can be applied when the vessel is
goingat any rate. 1t worked by turning a
handle, and the cost is not excessive Owing
to the fact that patents have not yet been
taken out in every country, the inventor is
keeping further details of his invention a
secret
