FLINN MACHINE DESPERATE.

News comes from Allegheny county
Of very desperate measures being re-
sorted TO by the followers of the Finn
machine TO block the tide OF public in
dignation against a continuance Of
their autocratic regime. At meet
ing Of the Republican county commit
tee held few days ago the Finn men
employed every device Of the cunning
politician to carry out scheme to
thwart the plans of those who are de-
termined to break up the Finn ring
The employment Of policemen TO keep
those who opposed the machine out Of
the meeting hall and the introduction
of gag rule in the conduct of the meet
ing disgusted the Republicans of Allie
sheny county. The disgraceful scenes
enacted at this meeting will but ac-
centuate the feeling among the people
against the Finn machine rule and
will hasten its complete overthrow.
Fearful that the supreme court will
sustain the constitutionality Of the
ripper" bill, the Flinnites have been
preparing for the future and have
sought to make II impossible for their
political opponents to get control Of
the party organization in the county.
All the professions Of Finn and his
associates in the state in the late insur-
gent movement in favor of reform are
recalled by the citizens and taxpayers
of Pittsburg. and they now see what a
hollow sham the whole insurgent
scheme was.

THE POINT OF VIEW.
Things Appear Differently to Differ
ent Ewes.


One Of the essential things for one that
would influence others is the ability to
see things as they look to those whom he
addresses. \ lack of this ability has
been responsible for the failure Of many
persons who would otherwise have been
successful as teachers, missionaries, law
yers before juries and even orators and
statesmen.
Striking illustrations Of the different
aspects things wear in the eyes Of differ
ent people are constantly coming to light.
a party Of American travellers, journey
ing lcisurely up the Nile. expressed a de-
sire to celebrate Washington's birthday
in some appropriate manner. Their chef
accordingly prepared great frosted cake,
upon which he executed in confectionery
a representation Of George Washington
after having familiarizcd himself with
the life and achievements Of his subject.
As represented in sugar Washington
wore turban on bis head and great
sash across his breast. He was smoking
long pipe, and before him some dancing
girls were performing. This was the
way the greatness Of George Washington
looked to the Arab chef.
In China, that land Of strange CON
trasts, many amusing instances Of a sim
liar kind may be found. "Pilgrims Prog
ress," as translated and illustrated by ma
tive artists, shows Christian with a long
pigtail, the dungeon Of Giant Despair as
the familiar wooden cage Of Chinese Grim
inals, while the angels are arrayed in the
latest productions Of Peking dressmak-
ers.
A Chinese publication describes Amer
leans as living for months without eat
ing a mouthful Of rice" and never enjoy
ing themselves 'by sitting quietly on
their ancestors graves" but instead
jumping around and kicking a ball as IL
paid for it.
How does this thing look to the Turk,
the Chinaman, the Bocr, the English
man, the nOrtherner. the southerner. is
the question that we should answer in
any controversy before becoming too
sure Of our own position. All the world

HEAVIEST FOG IN YEARS.
Streets became blocked and Even
Police Were Lost.

LONDON, Nov. "a fog such as
Great Britain had not experienced for
years enveloped London and half OF the
United Kingdom yesterday, blocksding
shipping dcranging railways ami throw
ing business in London, Birmingham and
other provincial cities into confusion.
SO dense was il that walk into the
streets was an adventure. The fog de-
scendcd upon the streets Of the metropo-
lis and the suburbs SO thickly that be-
tween 4 and o'clock in the afternoon
the principal avenues Of traffic resumbled
the steamroom of a Turkish bath.
Hundreds of thousands Of London's
suburban population vainly endeavored
to gropc their way TO the railway sta
tions. The few who succeeded found the
trains all stalled. Around Trafalgar
square aud the houses of parliament
scenes unparalleled for years were wit
messed. Hundreds Of omnibusses, cabs,
carts aud wagons formed an inextricable
and immovable mass. The mounted po-
lice, in trying to clear away the JAM got
lost themselves. Many vehicles We're in
collision. The drivers, not knowing where
they We're, stood at the heads of their
horses, patiently awaiting the lifting Of
the premature darkness.
Lanterns were at premium. News
boys transformed their papers into tenn
porary torches. Highwaymcn pursued
their vocation. Casualties were frequent
and even hardened Londoners freely ex-
pressed a dread Of the continuation of
such fogs, which yesterday reached a
climax.
II the fog had not lifted somewhat TO-
ward night, London would have been
so congested that the housing resources,
commodious as they are, would have been
taxed beyond their limits by the forced
accommodation Of the fog-bound subur-
banitOs.
Among children and old people the
deletcrlous effects Of such continuous
and exceptional fog can scarcely be es-
timnfpd

USELESS TO FIGHT NATURE
willis L. Moore On the Matter of Prevent
ing storms by Use of Expl osives.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Professor
Willis l.. Moore, acting secretary of ag-
riculture, has issued an official state
ment concerning the matter Of the at
tempted prevention of hailstorms by the
use Of explosives from specially designed
cannon. Brief reference is made to the
renewed interest in the subject lately in
France and Italy and to the apparatus
now in use in conducting the expert
ments. The professor says in part:
after examining all that has been
published during the past two years on
the subject of hail prevention | have to
repeat the opinion heretofore expressed
that we have here TO do with a popular
salusion and that efforts should be made
to prevent its spread in this country.
The great processes going on in the at
mosphere are conducted on too large a
scale for any man or any nation to at
tempt to control them. The energy ex-
pended by nature in the production Of
hailstorm, q tornado or a rainstorm prob
ably exceeds the combined energy of all
ahe steam engines and explosives in the
world. 1t is useless for man to attempt
to combat nature on this scale"
