VH-E-1'KESIDEXT, LEVI P . MOIiTON , OF NEW YORK. TOR PRESIDENTIAL KLECT0R8, ROBERT M'LEAN", WM. KAITS c. w. rri.TQ.v. WHAT IS ELECTRICITY? Modern art and science gives universal use to what termed electricity, and yet we are totally unable to positively say what elec tricity is. At the close o' an able address at Bath, England, Mr. W. H. Preece, after summarizing all the great achievements in the elec trical domain, said: "It seems incredible that, having utilized this great power of nature to such a wide and general extent, we should be still in a state of mental fog as to the answer to be given to the simple question, What is elec tricity? The engineer and the; physicist are completely at variance on this point. The engineer re gards elecf -icity, like heat, light, and isound, as a definite form o! energy, something that he can generate and destroy, something that he can play with and utilize, something that he can measure and apply. The physicist at 'o.ist some physicists, for it is diffi cult to find any two physicists that completely agree with each other regard electricity as a peculiar form of matter permeating ail space a3 well a3 all substances, together with the luminiferous ether which it permeates like a jelly or a sponge. Conductor.-, according to this theory, are hole or pipes in this jelly, and electrical generators are pumps that transfer this hypothetical matter from one place to another. Other physicists, following Edlund, regard the ether and relectrici,y as identical, and some, the disciples of Ilelmholtz, consider it as an integral constitu ent of nature, each molecule of matter having its own definite charge, which determines its ai t faction and its repulsion. All attempts to revive the Frankliniat , or material, theory of el. etricity have, however, to be so loaded with assumptions and so weight d with contradictions that they con -pletely fail to remove electricity from the region of Hie mysterious. It is already extremely difficult to conceive the existence of the ether itself as an infinitely thin, highly elastic medium filling all space, employed only as the vehicle of those undulatory motions that give us light and radiant heat. The material theory of electricity re quires us to add to this another incomprehensible medium embed ded or entangled in this ether, which is not only a medium for t r 1 1 1 a 1 1 1 i You haven't? Well let us tell you that by buying a cheap throwing away your money. Now to overcome this trouble Come And we SPECIALTY and WARRANT EVERY j motion, but which is itself moved. The practical man, with his eye m l his mind trained by the stern realities of daily experience, on a scale vast compared with that of the little world of the laboratory, revolts from such wild hypotheses, such unnecessary and inconceivable conceptions, such a travesty of the beautiful simplicity of nature, lie lias a clear conception of electriciry as something which lias a distant, objective existence, which he can jnannf.iciirg and sell, and some tiling which the unphilosophic and ordinary member of society, can buy and use: The physicist asserts dogmatically; 'Electricity may possibly be a form of matter it is not a form of energy.' The en gineer says distinctly : 'Electricity is a form of energy it is not a form of matter ; it obeys the two great developments of the present generation the mechanical theory of heat and tlie doctrine of conser vation of energy.' And stil' the discussion and difference of opinion goes on without any solution to the question. Tjie removal of Capt. N. S. Pierce, C. 1'. Holloway, G. N. Fawcett and V. W. Wetzeler from their places as postal railway clerks, simp'y because they were republicans and O. A. K. men, which fact was brought to light in Portland last Saturday, shows the hollow mockery of the claims of civil service reform made by Mr. Clevelands administration, and also the fact that offensive partisan ship means simply and only being a republican. It also shows ex actly the feeling of the administra tion for old soldiers, and the hypocrisy of the claims that the welfare of soldiers was looked after in the least by the present admin istration. Each one of the rc moved postal clerks ivere old soldiers and efficient clerks. Maj. Powell, of the United States engineer corps, favors the plan of building immense reservoirs in the mountain regions of the head waters of the la-?e streams to store the surplus waters, prevent the damaging annual overflow and save the water for the dry season. It is said that a portion of the $100,000 appropriated by the government to experiment upon the matter will be expended at El Paso, New Mexico, in con structing an immense dam on the head waters of the Rio Grande. The democratic press have been claiming that Illinois was going democratic a the approaching elec tion. The facts of the case :':e that a thorough and systematic canvas ha3 been made in that state which has developed the fact that the state is republican by an increased plurality over four years ago, and will have 30,000 to 35,000 majority for Harrison. Facts and theories are often totallv at variance. The demo cratic politicians are very anxiously theorizing that Oregon farmers are unmercifully taxed because there is a tariff on lumber, while the facts of the case are that Oregon farmers never paid a cent of tax in that direction for they do not use imported lumber; but they are directly interested in the develop ment of the home lumber interest, and in keeping the money paid for lumber at home.
