THE LIMIT.

In a period OF leisure it might be interesting
to consider whether Mr.. Shepard's strange men-
tai condition, of which his campaign speeches
constantly supply new proofs, is the cause or
the effect of his consenting to become Croker S
candidate for Mayor. Just now there is no time
to take that question up, but his unfortunate
state OF mind is obvious TO all who attempt 10
keep track OF his political utterances. Note par
tculary this statement TO his old friends of the
Brooklyn Democratic Club Thursday even
ing with reference TO the circumstances and
meaning of his nomination:
It seemed to me that here came opportu-
nifty; that. whatever the wrongs in the past,
the Democratic party meant, and honestly
meant, TO set its face 10 the future, and through
me honestly meant to further the cause of good
government. 1 should not do justice TO the men
who nominated me did not say that believe
this is their purpose.
If Mr.. Shepard believes this TO be truthful
account Of his nomination it is hardly an ex-
aggeration 10 say that he is capable of believing
anything. The Democratic party, in the sense
in which he here uses the designation, had no
more to do with his candidacy than the man in
the moon. He was nominated by Richard
Croker. That is fact which is perfectly
understood in the remOtest hamlet of the United
States as in the city of New-YOrk. Mr.. Shep-
ards opinion. therefore. is that Croker has set
his face TO the future and honestly means 10
further the cause of good government. lntrinsi-
caly that view of the matter would seem to
reach the limit of grOtesqueness. As revea-
tion of Mr.. Shepard as he now is it is perhaps,
pathetic rather than amusing. What must be
the condition of a man of Mr. Shepard's ante
cedents who deems ii advisable TO announce in
justification of his appearance as Crokers can
didate that Croker has turned reformer! Such
a plea by anybody else in behalf of Mr.. Shepard
would have been piece Of sheer indecency,
which he would have been bound TO resent and
rebuke. 1t is pitiful, indeed, to find Mr.. Shepard
himself reduced TO the extremity of processing
that Croker has come to abhor the burning and
dsgraceful blot OF Tammany government, longs
10 make reparation and can be implicitly trust
ed TO stand hereafter shoulder TO shoulder with
his nominee in a great and blessed work Of
political regeneration.

ELECTRICAL ADVANCES.

Referring TO some of the experiments Of the
young Swedish inventor Orling, in London, The
Tribune recently remarked that no advance
upon the work of Marconi Tesla and other
electricians of note clearly indicated That
opinion was expressed in regard to the aban-
dOnment of the vertical wire in Hertz wave
telegraphy, the use of the earth a conductor
wireless telephony for short distances and tele-
phonic communications between ships through
the water. To that list two more items may
with propriety be added: the employment of
a megaphOne to magnify sound, and the use of
telegraphic apparatus so tuned that only one
receiver-and the right one-will respond to
particular tranSmiter.
Another performance of Mr. Orling and his
English partner, Mr.. Armstrong. however, is
now announced. 1t is said that he is able TO
make lamp glow without wires at distance
of two miles Well. Mr.. Tesla produced the
same effect at short range years ago. But if
the inventors who are at present creating SEN
sation at the English capital have been able to
secure the result in question with tubes re-
moved two miles from the exciting apparatus
they would seem to have wrought an improve
ment in degree, if not in kind. Still it will be
necessary to wait for fuller details and for
some statement concerning the economy Of the
operation before drawing conclusions.
The Tribunes special cable dispatch from
London this morning outlines some prophecies
in which the staid and conservative Spectator"
is led by these experiments to indulge. No man
can say when or where the development Of the
science of communication by ether waves will
end. And it would be rash to call these pre-
dictions absurd. Besides, no one Is to be con-
demned because he is newcomer. Neverthe-
less, it is we'll TO bear in mind the important
difference which exists between the future and
past lenses in talking about progress. 1t is one
thing TO imagine what may follow from certain
laboratory achievements, and another to de-
scribe accomplished facts. And while Messrs.
Orllng and Armstrong deserve much of the at
tention which they are just now receiving, there
can be no harm in taking the enthusiastic ex-
pressions of The Spectator" with a grain of
salt.

YIRCHOW AND OTHERS.

The recent elebration-interDatiOnal in scope
and unprecedented in character-of Rudolf Vlr-
chOw's elghtieth birthday anniversary was a
well deserved tribute TO one of the greatest men
of the age and one of the greatest benefactors
OF the human race. He has been called the
founder Of modern medical science If that
characterization in it's singularity be thought
extreme, beyond doubt must regard him as
one Of the founders of that science and as
second to no other of the very few who are
worthy TO be ranked with him. II we place
Virchows demonstration of cellular pathology
by the side Of Pasteur's demonstration of bac-
teriology and bracket "OmniS cellula q cellula"
with "omne vivum ex ovo" we shall indeed
come close to having therein the foundation not
only of pathology, prOphylactics and therapeu-
tics, but also of all departments of biological
science.
Such is not, however, Virchow's sole claim to
distinction nor was it the sole feature of his
illustrious career which dwelt upon by his
eulogists fortnight ago. 1t is to be recalled
that for half a century he has been a practical
and active politician, and for most of that time
conspicuous occupant of public elective office
He has been one OF the leaders of the Prussian
Parliament for forty years. For twenty-five
years he was chairman OF the Finance Com
mittee and such organized the present con-
situtional budget system of the kingdom. For
thirteen years he was prominent figure in the
Imperial German Parliament until the Social
lists, to their unspeakable discredit, compassed
his defeat. and he was one of the few states
men In that body who ventured to cross contro-
versial swords with Bismarck. Moreover. and
perhaps above all, he has been for forty-two
years member of the Municipal Council CT
Berlin. and has largely dominated that body
Through his influence in the Council he has
given TO Berlin its fine supply of pure water and
Its unrivalled system of sewage FARMS and has
thus transformed IL from one Of the most
unhealthful TO one OF the healthiest cities in
the world. To Virchow the scientist the whole
world pays homage To Virchow the Municipa
Councillor the German metropolis pays the
tribute OF immeasurable gratitude
But just imagine Rudolf Virchow in the New
York City Hall! Imagine him, or an American
OF comparable attainments and achievements
for forty-two years a member of New-York's
municipal legislature, or at the head of one Of
our municipal departmental Think of him as
one of the Doodle Aldermen! Couple him

WHAT TAMMANY FEARS.

1t is a question of vital concern, in this as in
every campaign, how the so-called silent vote
will be cast-that is TO say, which side Will be
taken by the multitude OF whom much is said
as electoral contests draw 10 a close but who
say little for themselves; who are not conspicu-
ously identified with either party when party
lines are most clearly fixed, or with either army
of active fighters when party policies are not
legitimately or extensively discussed. There
ought to be no doubt how that large part OF the
silent vote on which Tammany is accustomed to
rely, and without which il would be helpless
will be cast on November 5. We refer TO that
element of the population IN whose behalf
Bishop Potter made his profoundly impressive
appeal TO Mayor Van Wyck year ago, when
he presented the Rev. Mr.. Paddocks case 10 the
Mayors attention. Bishop Potter said:

than failure. even IL he had had long expert
