Bryan Rode on Pass,
Says Railroad Man

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-The Call,
owned by the Spreckels interests, pub
fishes today a fac-simile letter signed by
William F. Heron, chief counsel for
The Southern Pacific railway, stating
that during the nineties William Jeu-
ninEs Bryan rode on a pass over the
entire system tOf the Southern Pacific.
The fact that in those years Bryan
attacked the railroad interests gives rise
TO much speculation as to the cause of
making the letter public at this time.

LETTER BRISTOL,
Printed.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1908-10-22
Governor Hughes himself saws:
TIE CANADIAN ELECTIONS.

Last Monday was nomination day and next
Monday will be election day in what Sir VIII
frid Laurier declares 10 be the last campaign
in which he Will engage in the Canadian Domin-
ion Almost coincident with our own Presden-
tial election in date the contest will resemble
our own in importance and scope, for il will
be for the choice Of a Dominion Parliament
which in turn. will determine who shall be
Prime Minister-the executive head of the ma
ton. 1t is indeed an interesting circumstance
that Canadian general elections have long oc-
CURED in the same years as our own. for while
the Dominion Parliament has a constitutional
period OF five years, it generally comes TO
voluntary end a year before the expiration OF
that term.
II was In 1896 that the Liberal party regalned
power and Sir Wilfrid Laurier became the first
French Prime Minister OF the Dominion. The
campaign OF that year was fought chiefly on the
Manitoba school question, though the issue Of
imperialism, meaning loyalty TO the empire. en-
tered into IT. and there were many who re-
garded with grave forebodings the accession 10
power of the Liberal party. whom the Tories
had represented as secessionists and of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier TO the Prime Ministershiu But
instead of leading the Dominion into secession
from the empire waging a religious war
against PrOtestantism or any such direfll thing
as the-Tories had forecast, Sir Wilfrid conducted
so Ioval and temperate an administration that
when in 1900 popular approval of his course
and q mandate 10 continue Ii were asked
large favorable ma jority was secured In 1904
the dominant issue was the railroad policy of
the Liberal government. and again Sir Wilfrid
won. If now, as seems not improba bic, he wins
again. he will have achieved the remarkable
record of four successive victories and of six.

FALSE TALES N CUBA.

The approach Of the date of the Cuban cleo
tjon-it is TO occur less than a fortnight after
our own-gives opportunity 10 some nimble-
sgitted inventors TO put forth campaign yarns
in despera te last effort TO balk the rehabili-
fation Of the insuiar government or 10 COM
promise American relations with IT, The Gu
bans are apt pupils and quick learners They
have learned several lessons from Americans
which they would be far better of without
and they are applying them with artistic skill.
Witness this current tale Of orders from
Washington for Governor Magoon to exert his
influence in favor OF the election Of Mr.. Gomez
10 the Presidency. That is precisely the sort
of thing which is calculated 10 have a strong
effect in Cuba, upon the Presidential campaign
and also upon popular feeling toward the United
States. OF course, there is not an atom OF
ruth in H. or of justification for putting IL
forth. Yet 70 the uniformed and unthinkng
il may seem plausible. and IL will get TO the
eyes and ears Of thousa nds who will not appre
ciste its real character and who will not see the
prompt and emphatic denials Of it; and with
them il may do much harm.
The facts are that Governor MagoOn has most
scrupuIously and vigiantly avoided anything
even remotely resembling the exercise Of any
influence upon the election save for the con
frnation of law. order and integrity and that
the Washington government has heartily APP
proved that course and has avoided doing any.

ATVOSpHBRTC MYSTERIES.

Professional star gazers depend largely
the clearness and steadiness of the atmosphere
for their most successful observations, and
usually feel a lively interest in the study OF
weather conditions. Hence it should cause no
particular surprise that the we'll known French
astronomer Camille FIammarion has ventured
n suggestion concerning the promotion of mete-
oroIogy. He is credited no doubt correctly, with
saving that much may be learned about the
weather by the use of balloons. While the opin-
ion is a sound one, NJ. FlammariOn apparently
ignores the vast amount Of exploration OF the
upper air already conducted in the last ten or
fifteen wears BY the meteoroiogsts of Europe
and America. The oversight is the more sin
guar because one Of his fellow Countrymen, NJ.
Teisserenc de Bort, has had large share in
this work and made some peculiarly fascinat-
ing revelations at the last meeting Of the Brit
ish Association for the Advancement Of Science.
It has Icing been known that the air grows
colder as the elevation above the earth increases.
The average change is about degree Fabren-
heit for every three hundred feet. recent dis
covery made with the aid of sef-registering
thermometers, carried up by tiny sounding
balloons is that at height Of about eight miles
the diminutiou in temperature ceases Indeed,
the layer of air there encountered is frequently
warmer than the stratum below il. Astonishing
though the statement is, its truthfulness has
been eS1GDISDpu 10y UuiluIeuS Oh duttIudIlt DD-
servations NJ Teisserenc de Bort is convinced
that he has found proof Of still another anomaly,
which lacks Independent confederation, but
may be accepted Professionally. He says that at
q certain level the air is warmer at the poles
than at the equator, his explanation of the seem
ing contradiction being simple and there
fore perfectly credible. He thinks that the reg
ular diminution in temperature with height con-
tinues at the equator to greater attitudes than it
does IN the Arctic regions, stopping only eleven
or twelve miles above the earth.
Exactly how these strange phenomena are
related TO the development of storms is not yet
evident, though the researches which have led
to their discovery are not finished. 1t has been
hoped that weather forecasting might be faci
tated by systematic observations of atmospheric
movements and temperatures two three miles
above the surface. It in accordance with
that belief that the United States government
began work with kites. If the expectation has
not yet been fully realized, some curious results
have been attained which no one foresaw. Study
OF the upper air IN America and elsewhere has
furnished a fresh crop of mysteries.

Governor Hughes's speeches have made 1t
perfectly plain that those who are using the

The issue is raised by the gamblers whose bust

some basis on which TO attack the Governor
they knew they could not do 1t on the ground
that he had destroyed raceTack gambling. They
knew that they would get no sympathy If they
assailed him for that reason. So they decided

some apprehensions among the unthinkng. But

Governor Hughes himself says:

whatever with any bigotry or intolerance.
What more does any one want than that
downright declaration by the Governor and his
own record in office? He has been there two
years, and what personal liberty has he at
