tunity of writing the life OF Mr.. Dlsraeli,
empiaatically expressed the opinion that
a biography if written at all should be
done right off, the work appearing as soon
as possible after the man had PASSED
away 1t would be interesting to now
whether he had in view at the time the
task of his own biograpEer. However
that be, he was more than usually en-
phatic In his d~elivel9mce of this Judgment.
Mr.. Morley inds that the prospect of i'm
mediate publication shuts out whole
tracts of the most interesting country.
While certain people ase still living it is
impossible for MI. G~ladstone's b%iographer
to publish particular correspondence or
to deal frankly with particular episodes
in his public life.

able to study it at his leisure, and to
make drawings of it or even photograph
it.
Sonle idea of the vast size of the new
teiefcope may be gained from the fact
that the instrument itself is 1875 feet long
and the weight of the glass in the mirror
alone is 1000 pounds. It's holder and the
necessary machinery weighs over 1000
pounds more, nor does this include the
stationary frame which will be very
much heavier. AS to the cost of such an
instrument, 1t would be almost impossible
to estimate it correctly.
Those who know anything about tele-
scopes AVE some idea of what it costs to
make a single lens of even ordinary pro-
portions. then must it cost the

to- carry their ideas into execution? We
are told by one who claims to know
something about such matters that each
ONE of the two hints will weigh 500 pounds
and that each Will cost not less thar ST.
600. The value of the glass used in the
two disks. after it has been polished5 will
not be less han 1928. 900.
In addition to his one must consider
The loss of material through failure in
construction. For instance twelve glass
disks. each weighing more than 10000
pounds, have been made but eleven of
| them have had to be discarded through
| some flaw or defect that YOU make
them useless for such delicate work.
The loss from this score must have been
something enormous.

the WAR INQUIRY FARCE.

What in the name of common sense
do the members of the court of in
quiry expect to find out from cursory
inspection of the meat packing estab-
lishments of the Packing Trust?
Every sane man knows that the court
might spend the rest of their natural
lives wandering about the interesting
plants of the packers, which are one of
the sights" of Chicago, under the
guidance of the managers-who had
prepared things so the court could see
advantageously all it was desired they
should see-without coming across any
thing wrong.
Moreover, everyone knows that the
packers can and do put up good refrig-
Grated and good canned roast beef.
That is not the question. What the
court of inquiry is supposed to discover
is, what kind of stuff was the canned
roast and refrigerated beef furnished
the troops in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The court has been deluged with in
controvertible testimony on this point
from the men who had to eat the stuff
and were made sick by it. And these
witnesses testified that the sample cans
Of good beef set before them in the
court at Washington were not like the
stuff they were supposed to eat in Cuba
and Porto Rico.
The visit of the court to the packing
houses will throw no light on this dis
crepancy, for the court will see none
but good beef slaughtered and packed.
AS to the processes that produced
the "embalmed' beef, or the canned
roast beef, described as being about as
nutritious as boiled rope-the juice evil
IDENTIFY having been extracted for Ar
mour beef extract-the court will learn
absolutely nothing.
In this connection a recent brief AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch contained
point of interest. 1t stated in regard to
the supplies for the troops now on the
way to Manila that none of the troops
now in transit are being furnished can
ned roast beef as a travel ration. The
Commissary Department has only
small remnant Of its immense war sup
ply of this article left on hand and is
not buying any more" Thus even the
Commissary, despite its officials testi-
mony to the contrary before the court,
seems to have soured on the canned
roast beef rations.

to a regular civil service examination,
that it may mean something or nothing
as the director of the census may elect.
The candidates are all to be examined
by that official, who may make the
examination as easy as he pleases. If
he chooses to follow in the footsteps
of Porter there is nothing in the CEN
sus bill to prevent him.
There is already sufficient evidence
to show that Senators and Representa-
tives expect to fill the census bureau
with their friends and henchmen as
they did under Porter. And there is
nothing to stand in the way of this
descent upon the public crib of incom-
petents and the foisting upon the coun-
try of another worthless census but
the new Director, himself.
This official is ex-Gov. William R.
Merriam, of Minnesota. While a good
enough citizen, apparently, his special
4udllHCdtiOuS lot lue Important OllICe
of census director are not at all
apparent. He is known as politician
rather than as statesman and this is
a bad indication. He owes his appoint
ment to his active support of Mr. Nc
Kinley's candidacy in 1896. At first he
wanted a cabinet office. This being
refused. he sought high diplomatic
post. Now, after two years of waiting
he has been provided for. A spOils-
man and spoils hunter, himself, it is
not likely that the new census director
will turn a deaf ear to the plea of the
politicians, or that he will overlook
machine politics in a lofty regard for
the purity and efficiency of the public
service.
But, granting for the arguments
sake that his intentions in this line are
all right, will he be able to resist the
mighty pressure sure to be brought to
bear upon him any more than his dis
credited predecessor was? All the
chances are against it and for repe-
tition, in a greater or less degree of
rottenness, of the Eleventh Census
scandal.

THE OVERHEAD VS.. THE UNDER
GROUND TROLLEY

Superintendent McCulloch, of the
National Street Railway lines in St.
Louis, who is combating the change
to the underground system, declares
the latter is more expensive than the
overhead wire.
In this Mr. McCulloch is at variance
with the experience of Eastern cities
with the underground system. In New
York, Washington and elsewhere it has
been repeatedly claimed and demon
strated that the underground system
effects a saving of twenty-five per cent
over the overhead wire system.
But even if this were not true, if the
underground trolley was a tribe more
expensive, it should not be allowed to
outweigh the arguments regarding its
great advantages to the public, who
have some rights in the premises and
deserve some consideration.
The overhead poles and wires are a
danger to life and property, especially
in case of fire, and an unsightly OBJ
struction at all times. The under
ground system would do away with all
poles and wires, and furnish uninter-
rupted traffic during storms and heavy
snow when such traffic is most needed
by the citizens and when the overhead
trolley is usually tied up.
The underground trolley is bound to
come in all American cities big and lit
tie.

To those gentlemen who have sold
their stock in local concerns to the
trusts and consequently now have
surplus of money for which they are
seeking profitable investment, the
Register would suggest that they
couldn't do better for themselves or the
city than erect new modern hotel and
a new theatre more in keeping with
the size of the city and the demands of
the theatre-going public. In these two
particulars Wheeling is sadly behind
the times and there is good field for
profitable investment on these lines.

DR.. Cabell Whitehead, Assayer Of the

to introduce into Turkey American

is wisdom. Let us hope, however, for
the sake of Turkey, that the American
industrial trust system will not also
be introduced into the Sultan's domain.
