THE G. o. P.,S BIRTHPLACE.
Saratoga and Philadelphia Chapters
Of Republican Genesis.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-S,r: In
further calculation OF the birthplace OF
the Republican party II appears that
Horace Greeley wrote to A. y. Cole.
editor of the Genesee Valley Free Press,
nj Wellsville, y. Y. In reply to a letter
asking what name he would give to the
new party Call II Republican-no
prefix. no sufix. but plain Republican
Coles letter was written early In April.
1854, and Greeley's prompt answer was
published in Coles paper.
II was trumpeted at a grand Republi-
can gathering. held at Saratoga Springs
in 1904, that the first regular Republican
delegate state convention ever held
by the party was al Saratoga Springs
on August rs. 1854. and at Auburn. ~.
Y. September &c. 1854. The call for the
first named convention was issued as
early as July |. AT this 1904 gathering
Chauncey NJ. pepew stated in the course
of an address hat the Republican party
was formed in 1854 Where and when
he did not say. 1t was also then and
there ~nounc that a Republican mass
meeting was held at Friendship, Allie
gany county. n. Y. In May. 1884.
No to he outdone by this Saratoga
demonstration of 1904, Philadelphians
held what they termed the golden
jubilee of the Republican party in
Jui'' ~" . "puAu r''ih iibii tie
published record of the occasion that the
"jubilators'' themselves questioned the
propriety OF the celebration or antici-
pated criticism from other quarters
This is evidenced by their discussion OF
what they called the shadowy claims OF
State or county conventions purporting
to be p~rogenitors Of the Republican
party because they made early use Of It's
name or its principles" To throw cold
water on earlier organizations 1t In con
tended in this Philadelphia record that
the genesis of the party as organized
IN 1856 may be clearly traced to a
small club known az the Republican
Club of Washington, OF when the Hon
Lewis Clephane was secretary. the same
being founded June 10, 1883" And
further to mislead n befog futurs
readers ~ these printed proceedings OF
the year 1906, IT IL therein pointed out
that "the campaign of 1S+S In the STATE
of New York for Van Buren, was n
lively and energetic one n educated
thousands for the Republican party OF
1854"
Thus did the Philadelphia gatherers
unconsciously recognize the c~rystalliza'
ton of the Republican party two years
i'm advance Of the date they were ther

going along a front Of hundreds of
miles that the shot In the locker be-
gan to run low.
This enormous consumption OF ar
tillery ammunition, according to NJ.
IloNoRE. Is one Of the surprises and
revelations OF the a There had
been no prior standa rds on which
to make reliable calculations. The
Russo-Japanese war furnished Insult
ficient data because in that "a the
guns used were Of what Is called the
accelerated" and not the rapid" fire
type. In the most recent Of all wars,
the Balkan, the rapid fire guns Of the
present war were in fact used. but
even the records Of that war were not
safe guides in making estimates. for
the a that the wild. mountainous
character Of the country involved
greatly restricted artillery operations.
Besides. the Balkan Governments
were more or less limited for fnan-
cial aso in their artillery am
munition supplies.
Among the French experts prior TO
the present val there vas a wide diff
ference Of opinion on the artillery am
munition question. Some even az.
firmed that the latest rapid fire guns
would actually use up less ammuni.
ton than the slower types. They
based this opinion on the hypothesis
that increased rapidity and precision
would greatly diminish the number
Of wasted p~rojectiles. The majority.
however. predicted a shot and shell
consumption that would run into
colossal figures. General LANoLoIs.
for instance. believed a provision of
5000 shells for every gun in use
would not be excessive. He thought
an estimate OF from 200 to 300 shots
for each gun on every day OF battle
would not be too large. There are
40 guns to each French army corps
and this estimate would mean the
daily consumption in battle Of from
$4,000 to 10000 shells for each army
corps involved.
The experience Of the war has
demonst rated that this estimate Ii
rather under than over the fact. In
the battle OF the Marine some Of the
army CORDS fired an average OF GOO
shots For each of the 100 guns in use,
and the total number Of shots fred
by the French artillery was approx
mately 1,2OO,OOO.

The Court House Resurvey.

President MCANENY. whose inter
est in the proposed new court house
has been continuous and unselfish.
has made the subtoined declaration Of
his attitude toward that structure:
IAN examination OF the detailed plans
shows certain extravagant features,
such as the Justices chambers, the res
and the law library.
Revelations of his kind show oppor-
tunities for the Board OF Estimate to
enforce economies.
Not a dollar will be spent where the
expense is not justified"
The large expenditure the city has
already made must be protected; the
courts Of Justice must he appropriately
housed hut there must he no waste,
10 foolish ornamentation. no mere
frivolities. On that basis let the
resurvey Of the project proceed. and

pended the public will be satisfied.

peculiarly expensive at this time on
account Of the European demands on
munitiOn manufacturers.
Under these circumstances finan-
cial measures must occupy much OF
the time of the first session of the
Sixty-fourth Congress. Yet the 20
litical year Is singularly unpropltious
for continued attendance Of members
Of the House. Their owndirect primary

administrators has borne good fruit
In that the number OF accidents and
deaths steadily diminished until last
year. II Is In order, therefore, to
make n special effort to prevent The
recrudescence of a fatal custom by In
forming the public that last year the
accidents from Fourth OF July cele-
b%ratlons In the United States mum.
bered 1905 with forty deaths, while
In 1913 there were 1,163 accidents
with thirty.two deaths. showing an in
crease Of both totals. This IL alarm.
ing in view Of the previous record Of
steady diminution.
Lockjaw has become quite frequent
among those injured In these acci-
dents. The public should be in
formed that this dread and fatal
complication may be prevented by
timely attention, thorough cleansing
with a strong stream Of hot water, or
in the event Of Its inaccessibility with
any clean water, during this washing
s%crubbing the wound gently with
clean fingers covered by clean cloth,
or better still, sterilized gauze, or n
soft tooth or nail brush that has been
washed and boiled a few minutes.
After thoroughly rlnslng the wounded
part should he dried. and. according
to the best authorities, every crevice
and part of II should be p,Sn'ed with
tincture of iodine or one part Of car.
bolic acid to three parts OF water.
This early treatment before the doc.
tor IL reached will insure safety. For.
tunately physicians now have an Of.
ficient remedy for this fatal disease
in antitoxin. To calm the apprehcn
sions of those who would be likely To
object TO these injections, 1t may be
stated that although tetanus Is almost
invariably fatal. the early injection
of antitoxin has rescued 30 per cent.
OF the cases treated by the New York
city Board Of Health.
The only really efficient remedy, 1t
Is needless to say, Is n positive pro-
hibition Of the use OF firearms and
explosives by individuals not trained
professionally to handle them. vigi.
lance is the price Of safety all regu-
lations should be vigorously enforced.
Better methods Of celebrating must
be substituted. such. for instance. as
the Borough President proposes. and
in which he finds himself opposed by
the cry Of economy. 1t Is well to con-
slider II the saving Of life and sickness
, sane celebration.
