If Grover Cleveland will not accept, or
if the third term argument is a potent
reason why he should not accept the
nomination for the presidency, what Is
the matter with St. Clair McKelway, of
the Brooklyn Eagle? He is a statesman.
a thinker, a man of character and sense.
He has long been in the public eye and
has always conducted himself as man
and a gentleman. We recall, too. that
one of the best, if not the best, speeches
delivered at the Tennessee Centennial

WORK OF THE SCIENTISTS.

has not been here that chemistry has
been recognized by the periodic law Of
Mendelejeff. or physics by Helmholtk's
conception Of the conservation OF ener-
gv. The greater work of mathematics
has not come from Americans. and It is
not from them (if we except the work OF
willard and Wolcott Gibbs that the fly
ing leap has been taken from the con-
ceptions OF the mathematician TO the
concepts Of molecular or chemical phys
les. American physicists last winter
seemed to be principally occupied in de-
scribing to more or less popular audi
ences what French and English physic-
lists had accomplished In radium and
