A S TIt A NO E CAM I'A 1 (i -V.
The New-York campaipn of 1801 approarhe*
its enl with BOBM eharaeteristie features that
(loseivr tlie attention of voters who mean to
promoto pood government. One of theso is that
tho conduet of the eampaign on the Demoeratie
side has been inerzpreaaablj cowardly and knav
ieh. To reali/.e. that these strong worrls ai-e not.
undeservod one has only to remember what in
terpretatiOB will he placed upon Demoeratie
vicioiy il one should bc attained. Instantly tho
jiatty organa throughout the country, and par
ticul'arlv in this cit.v, would shout that Protec
tion had been defeated after a years trial, and
that Free Trade had triumphed. But what
diseuvsion of the tariff question do Demoeratie
r-jie ikers or journals eniploy while the eampaign
is in progress to induee voters to support their
ticket?
Kead the latest speeches of Hill and Flower
himself. What do they contain? Is there a
single argument upon any pending public ques?
tion? ls there the slightest attempt to show
that the tariff has in any way injurcd the peo?
ple? ls there even the weary repetition of
oft-exploded theories which Demoeratie audi
ences have so long been compelled to hear in
stead of facts? Instead, what do intelligent
voters find ? Mean insinuations and dirty slan
ders about Mr. Fassett personally. Appeals to
loeal and elass interests, so low in their dema
pogism that even the cheap demagogues of tlie
party are getting disgusted. A deluge of falae
hood about the location of the Worlds Fair. as
if eleven hundred thousand voters in this State
being ealled to determi_c upon thoir State gov
ernment for years to oome could take no time
to seeure goad government, to put rawals out
or to get honest men in, until they had first
aseertamed hotf far members of Congress at
Washington were actualiy inlluenoed in select
ing Chicago by the oourae of a single State
Senator at Albany.
Un the very faoe of things, all this is a dis
honest attempt tj dodge the real issues of the
eampaign. For there are real and vital issues
whieh will be affeeted by tho votes of Novem
ber, though Democratfi take great care not to
(iis( U.SS them. One is Is'ational ; whether the
Frotective policy promotes the welfare, of tlie
people and should be upheld. The other be
longa to the State; whether government by the
gang ol pub.ie plunderers and corniptionists
known as Tammany Hall would be safe or hon
BBt government for this great Commonwealth.
These are questions which concern tho pemon&l
interest and the welfare of all the citizeas of
this State. They are the question* whieh will
in faet influence nine-tenths of the votes east
on one side or the other. Yet Demoorats are
so eonscious of their weakness on these issues
that they aay as little about them as possible,
and are spending weeks in discussing the
World's Fair. and Mr. FbbbbM. aetion about the
conrirmation of a labor commission.
(in both of the real question-s to bo affeeted
bv votes in Xovombcr the Democrats know that
they are weak. They are trying to steal a vie?
toiy, because they know full well that they
could not win a victory honostly. Tainmain
Hail itseJf, in its own private meetings, coii
fe*88a that the good people of the State think
its givcrnmentoutragcous, extravagant and eor
rupt, and its methods infamons, and talk Bbool
trying to overcome this leeopnizcd iinpressiun.
As its leader said, the people really think Tam?
many mon wear horns. Whether the entiro
government of the State should be un ne 1 over
to this gang of eleetion swindleis and baUotrboi
Btoffen, to the men who h'll their poekets and
cany 00 their politieal eampaigns by blackniail
[ng aaloona and gamblinp-hells, is a qiK'stu.n
whieh ttie IVinoeratie partj is not ready to dis
obbb, and no wondor.
TBE CESTRAL A8IAN DISPUTE.
The latest contioversy between England and
Russia iu A.sia has it.s origin, as most of its
predeceaaora have had, in a disapreement OTO
boundarj line*. An old trealy, made hv Lord
Clarcndon and Prinec Gortchakoff, is in dis
pme, England holding that it should be in
terpreted aeeordinp to its obvioUB spirit and in
tent, and Kussia insisting thal it ibould be ob
Berved v\ iu Btrfcteal l< t er. Between the two
there is ? vaat discrcpaney, for tlie ttcaty was
mado in gross ignoranco of the aetual " lay of
the land,*' and is now, in thc b'ght ol later ex
plorations, Been to be full oi -eriooa errors.
The question bow is whether tbeae errora are
to be oorrected, aad tho treatj made what its
Degotiatora evidently Intended it to be, or
whether thej sliall be perpetuated in the face
of the known fai ts.
The " Koof of the World," as the Famir
Platean ia eoinmonly ealled, is a losenge-ahaped
niiiiuiv iit the northeaatern eud of the Hindoo
KimsIi B-ouataia range, bounded on the north
i.v Samatkand and Ferghana, on ihe wot by
Bokhara, on the east bj Kasbgar, and on the
s'uiih by Afghanistan and Little Tibet lt is a
wild and deaolate region, 14,000 feel above thc
Bea, and perbapa not more than 15,000 Mjuare
lnih's in ;uea. Its intereal and iinportanec lie
iu the faet that it marks the meeting>poinl of
tho three, great Asian empires, India, (hina
and Ku-sia. h has greal stratepie value, al*0,
a- COBlBUndlBg the passo.s which lead fiom
Turkeataa Bopfchward into tho badn of tho
Ladua and eaatward into the Chlneae Empire.
When Lord Chuendon and Prince Qortcha
kotl made over the nutp "l Aaia between them
thej Bgreed that Ttirfceatan ahould be the prey
of htiuaia aad Afghaaiatao and Caahmere of
England. Then, reljriag upon unperfei I
graphical koowledge, they fniiber agreed to re
gard Ihe maifl itreaiq o\ tlie Oxtu Blver, Bow
inp we-tw.-ird ir<mi N'ieoiia Lake, as tbe boun
dar.v between the twe Bpherea of lafluence,
ilnee, as they Buppoaed, all the Algbaa tribea
Bouth of it and aoae bat Tarcotnaafl Borth
of it. Two thinp<s. howoTer, bare been as<er
tained siiue then. Oae ia thal the Panja forh
of the Oxus, Sowiog fron Victoria Lake, is not
tho main stream at all. but. that the Murphab
Ab >n fbfk, aeveaty milee furtbei north, must
be so reparded. 'Ihe >econd is that Afghafl
tribes have for many generations claimed and
oceiJi?i'?d. without dispute. the territory of >hip
nan. whieh lies north of the l'anja, and thus in
wliat th'' Cla endon-(iort( hakoff BITaageBMal
regarded as Torkt itan,
The Baftlan e.'aiin ia that rii** boundarj line
noist he drawn as the ill-infonned pcopraphcrs
of Clarendon's time drew it, alonp tln- l'anja, at
the northern baae of tlie Hjndoo-kootih nuige,
thus giving Shignan and ita Afghan inhabitanti
and the whole I'amir Plateau to the Cair. The
English claim is that the oountry must be di
vided aocording to ra es, the Turcomani guing
to Russia and the Afghans to England; and
that the dividlng line must therefote be drawn
a'ong the Murghab Ak-su, the real head
waters of the Oxus. thus outting the Pamir
Plateaa into two equal partB and dividing tho
" Roof of the World" between tho two I'owers
near what might be torim-d Kb ridge-polo-the
Roshan mountain lange. Which of these elaims
shall prevail is the pn.blem whieh the diplomats
-let it. hope, not the soldieis-of the three great
empires must now dccide.
OUR LIBERTIES ENDASGKRED.
It is believed in a great many bar-rooma
where genMemen who have no occupation or
visiblo means of BUpport gnther and diseuss be?
tween drinks in the BBOBt earne.st man nor tho
prosont jKiliti.al ?ituatioa, that our lihertir* are
in danger. The possibility of our being turned
OVer to tho rule of "satraps'' has made a pro
fmind inipicssion on the minds of these pentle
men for on*- thing. "Even now,1' they say,
?? we are beeet with eonetaat perils; our Ubertlea
are not cntirely safe under tho existing poliee
svstem ; many of us havo been so torrorized and
intimidaf'd that the sight of an oflieer in uni
fona sends us frequently two or three blockfl
out of our way to avoid hiin. And if this reign
of berror exists under the rule of tho poliee
with all the advantages of having an occasional
' pull' on membcrs of the force, what would
be the gtate of things under 'satraps'? For
no one knows what a ' satrap' might not do.
Not many, indeed, know what a ' latrap' is.
What we* do know is that ' The World' news
paper considers the 'satrap' when aetively en?
gaged ln satrapping extremoly dangeroiis, and
that nothlng but the eleetion of Roswoll Flower
can prevent our being overwhehaed by them."
The feelinp on this aubject is ao intenso and
widespread that large numbors of'peiyons are
walking iato town, many of them " on their
uppers," prepared to remain hero and diseuss
political questions, to the neglect of all other
business, until the eleetion, when they will de
vote the entire day to the exeroise of tho eloctive
franehise. .
Another danger which agitates the tninds of
these gentlemen is that the vote of New-York
at the oominp eleetion if Republicau may be
taken as an encourapement to tho men who
have ruined tho boaineaa of thc country by the
McKinley bill. The tax which these gentlemen
have to'pay on their rallroad iron and their
champagae and their ailk umbrellas is vicwed
by them as an unjust and griovous burden, and
sometiines late in the eveninp their noses and
other features redden with indignation while
they denouneo thc tariff as worse than robbery.
So long as it endures they consider it a menaee
to our liberties, and it is on this account that
they manifest so mueh soliiitudc lest the rcsult
of the eleetion may rivet upon our business
interests the fetters of this iniquitous system.
Then there is Thomas C. Flatt. A great
many of the.se gentlemen fairly mako the tum
blera shako as they pound tho bar in denuncia
tion of that intamoua person for having wiek
gdlj and malieiously cheated them out of three
hnndred million dollars. Mr. Platt is eoosid
ered by them an utterly depraved person. When
they reflect that it was he who rode brioted
and spurred into the Assembly at Albany when
that body was about to BBtabMah thc World's
Fair 111 this city and coinmanded that it bo sent
to Chicago, by that aet taking three hundred
million dollars out of thoir poeketa and making
it, neecssary for them to walk all the way to
Chicago; and when they think how he has
prevented a rise in real estaie?they just howl
their heart-breaking sorrow into empty tum
blers while tho barkeeper chalka up another
round of drinks to tho Flower Campaipn Fund.
With a determined porpOM to prevenr l'latt's
evident intention to transfcr the business part
of this city to the lake front at Chicago they
will keep up this apitation till Eleetion Day,
when they will vote iapainst '? Tom" Platt as
long as the eampaign fund holds out.
Another BWDB08 to our liberties is just now
beginning to be discussed, not so lrnidly, but
with bated breath and the gravest apprehen
sioiis. There is taik of turning John I. Daven
l?or: loOse. New John I. Davenport is by coin
inoii ooaseat the most dangeroiis foe that
geatieaiea who dovote themselvcs to the exer
ei>o of the eloctive franehise ever eneoiintered.
There is no douht that if hc had his wa\ he
would ptit such leatriettoaa on the exerc-N ol
the elective fraachiae that many peraoaa irho
depend upon thal iadoBtry a-s their only means
of Boppoii would bo foroed either into other
(hannels or to involuntary exile to some of tho
adjaceal islanda. For many yeara he haa so in
Umidated and terroriaed the honest maBBea as
they went their rounda of regi-tration and apread
their votes from poll to po.l that sutne of the
mofl piolific aad induatrioua of them have re
tired from the ti<'ld after roting bul onee. lt
ia maintained by aome oi the genMemen who
devote theiBBelveB to the exerciae of tho fian
eii.s' thal Davenport has no business to Inter
fer* wlth them at thia eleetion: that hc is
" not in it." Ihu there are other* who stand
in such mortal terror of him thal they will re
fiire to take the chaaces. They prefer an out
door life.
One other daager to our libertlea has been
averted by the prompl aad dedsive actiofl ol
thoae frieodsofa free and unreatricied auffrage,
the Sachema and Sagamoiea and Wiakinskles.
An Ineidioua effort w*s made by aeveral stu
deatB in the I'liion Theoiogical Seminary I i get
their aamea regiatered. Thia waa carrying it
too far. They were detected as theoiogical
Btudeata by the efflciBBi repreBeatativea ol Tam
many Hall. and the BOVeBMBt was Btopped.
This haa pi\on great Batisfactiofl to tho bar
room debating drolea, where the eonvictloo la
geni ra! that that Borl of people oiipht not to be
permitted to vote. <>n this geaeral aubjed tbe
prevalenl view is thal of tieorge M. Stearaa'a
elient, who ke|it a di-orderly booae Bad was
charged with BaaaulUng and robbtog a custom
er. "Squire Stearna," aaid be, puiatiag to a
ehiireh Bcrota the way, "them'a the blanked
things that'a raising h-with the business of

S|x*< i tl Importance ia giveo to the local eiec
tion in Queena County bj the reappearance of
BenjaBiifl VV. Dowaiag as the Detaocratb caa
didate lor Countj Judge. Dowoiag'a Botorioua
i areei ;is l)i>ti;ct-Altoiney of ih;i[ COUBtj was
broughl to a BtiBuaary and diagraceful ead by
his lemoval from oflloe Boven yeara ago by

the caae waa itill peod.Bg before the Qoveraot
the Decaocratfl of Dowaiag- 8_atr!ct had the

aiming, of eourse, to smbarraaa th^ Gkiveraor la

however, greatly to his eredh, w_.% aot to be
embarrassed, and in the heat of thc eampaign
and at the expertse of party vote ln the Sen?

emptorily removed him. In the ehction that
followed Dowaiag was disaBtrotBdy beatea.
Thia ought to have retired tbe man. bat the
very next yeai he proeared hia ixirty'*. nomiua
tion for County Judge. The BfMMBe of a man
Lhrust from the oflic* of proacoator bv a Qov
ernor of his own party for taking bnbes ?apinng
t? judicial honom was too much for the voters
of Queens County, nofcwtthsiandinK their Demo?
cratic majerity of 1,500. Hy nearly that large
majority they olected the Republican candidate,
Garrott J. Garretson.
Judge Garretson has now oompleted his nrst.
tnrm and has been renominated. He has in all
reapeefea boooeed and f.lle.l the hiffa ofJW to
which the honest people of all parties in Queens
County talled him. He has known no partisan
ship ' Dignity and justice have distinguished
his cmirse at all timea. and nothing but praise
groets him 88 his te.-m olosos from any quarter.
Amazing as it appears, however, he (g again
confronted bj Dowfli-f, and the people are
asked to displaec an officer whose'eapacity and
chatacter are proved and approved in favor of
a man who is oflicially stamped as a bnbe
taker Bad whom they. have twioe rejected!
It ia nnt to be thought. in view of all theso
mem that the shamc of Downing's elcction Ls
p088ib!6. The politicaans who nominated him
ihoold be rebuked by the defeat of their entire
ticket They havo undertaken to defy the peo
ple to fOcce down their throats a nomination
against which their verdict had been repeutcdly
rendered. Such atidacity is as outrageoua as
the BOtniaatioa itself. It is highly gratifying to
_HOW that an Independent Democratic ticket
ia |o be ptaced in the licld to-day by tho formal
petition of 500 Democratic voters, with Judge
Qarretaon'a name substituted in place of Down?
ing's. This ought to end, as probably it dow,
tho possibility of his oiection.
THE CUST OE TAilMAXT GOVBRXMEXT.
Our oxoellent contemporary, " The Sun," de
giree us to say that tho intereat on the city debt
ia not an ordinary expenditure, and that in
asceitaining the per capita cost of conducting
tho city governrrient tho ligures of tho policc
censoa _hould be accepted. We cannot say
either of the.se things. The article in The
TUBUBl to which our neighbor is taking ex
eeption undertook to show tho linancial burdeuu
Impoaed on tho people of this city by Tammany
government Kvcry expenditure, therefore, over
which the city offlcials can exercise oontrol is
to be pmpeily included in auch a caloulatiou.
The city debt was of their making, and repre
sents many millbns of dollars of which Tam?
many offlcials deliberately robbed the people.
The annually recurring interest charge is as
rightfully assignablo among the ordinary ex
pens* of thc city governmont as is the cost of
inaiutaining tho Mayor's offleo.
The hiulget for 1H91 callcd for a total ex
penditare of $85,960,891 22. Of this enor
mous sum every penny was an impositlon of
Democratic government except $3,050,630 47,
which was raised for State taxes. The remain
rler. .".32.310,260 75, was the amount of money
which the people of New-York had to pay for
tho pn'vilege of Iiving under the worst city gov?
ernment in the civilized world. There aro
1.515.301 people in Now-York? according to the
official 080808, which, of course, must be em
ployed in all calculations, whatover any indi
vidual may think of its aocuracy, and tho per
capita expeoee on the basis of last year's budget
is, therefore, $2132. It ought not to be one
,-ont more than $12, and it wouldn't be if tho
peop'e did not. maintain in Tammany Hall a den
of thieves.
The pained and anxious expression which our
contem|>orary has lately observed on the bronze
statoe of Horaco Greeley as it sits in front of
our counting-room door is not due to any mis
takes of the Forter census. lt is not always
easy to interpret the scntiments of a statue,
oven of one that represents so honest and frank
and outspokon a oountenance as that which
looks down on the people as they pass our door.
But if J. Sloat. Fassott is not elected on Novem
ber 3, if Tammany Hall is enthroned at Albany
there to rule and rob as it rules and rohs in this
iinfortiina;*' town, we don't believe that statue
will be ablc to contain ihsclf. It will look at
the fat, dull fat* of Boewell F. Flower, as it
will 1)0, in that event, e\posed by "The BunV
gtereoptiooa, and retiecting that he is to be the
Governor of the greatoat .State in tho Union, it
will make a serie-s of rcmark* which we hesitate
even to conjecture.
11ROOKLYX IX THE LEGISLATURE.
In the last Legislature the Ropublicans of
Bmoklyn made an uncommonly poor showjng.
ln the Senate they had, aa usual, one repre
sentative, but in tho Assembly their repiesenta
tinn. wliich 00 any fair and e<|iiitable ba*is ought
to be four or five. was reduced to one. Mr.
Aapinall was the only Republican Aaaemblyman
8 BC Bd in Kingfl County last fall, and his plu
lality ol 123 was BO sinal! that a OOOtest for his
iea( araa nade, and ho woidd no doobl have
been thrown OOl at Governor Hill's bidding had
there been any absblutfl neceaaitj of Increasing
the Democratic majority in the lower house.
Thk jrear we hope to sec our liater city do much
better thaa last. By proper efforta and a full
vote the Republicana at the other end of the
Bridge ought to Bend to Albany two Senatora
and at least four Assemblyinoii. When it is
remembered that the Senate choeen this fall will
take part in tho electien of a aucceaaor to Sen
atot Biaoock, arhose term expirea in 1H93, the
importance of returning ? laige Republican ou*
fority to that bodj is at onee perceived. In ge
ciiiing this end our party fiiends in BrooUlyn
have it in their power to render valuable as
?istance.
The llld Diatricf Ls Republican by a large
majority, and there ia rirtually no doubt about
the election of Mr. Aspinall, who has secured
the nomination. Mr. Aspinall made an excel
Icut reeord in the Assembly, and ia areli rjuali
fied for the highci hmior which he is about to
Bttain. lt nnift not be rorgotten, however, that
it \s.\s the fa.liue of a g>s>d many Republicana
to vote lag( year in thc normaUj itrong Bepub
lian llld Diatrict which led to the defeat of
Kepie-ciitative U'alhue. That uiLstake inust
not be repeated in the llld Senatorial Diatrict
thiayear. ln the IVth Diatrict the Bepubiicana
have a good lighting chance of electing a Sen
ator. lt in the oonteat of taru years ago over
again. Senator MdCarven has been renominated,
and the Etepublicana have ariaelj pul up again
Kdward II. 8chlueter, ?h<> made BUCh a good
run in 1889. MeCarrea won then by 417
VOtea, and Mr. SclTTut-ter is oonfidenl of his abil
ity to OVercome this narrow pluiality. IIo de
lervea the enthuBiastic Bupport of every Bepub
lica.i in the diatrict
Now as 11 the Aaaemblj diatrkta. Under tho
preaent apportionmenl it has been th<' almoat
iina.iabl ? rule for the Republican party to rairy
tho LXth and Xlth. W'c are confideut that tlu>
Ixth will return to the Republican ooluma this
year, Blnce our friends then- have a >tiung and
i).i(uilir candidate to ially around in the peraon
of Laareme K. Maloae Mr. Malone- a nephew
of the Be?. sylveater Malone?is a riaiag jroung
Invrjer, and is Btted bj ohanceer aud capacitj
to mah ' an exoellenl legislator. The Xlth
Dietr.a is practicelly certain to bo retained by
the pa ty io which it rightfully belongs, the
Republican candidate being George L. Weed,
who was olectcd two years ago by a plurality
of over 2.000. The MIth Diatrict is a close
one: the Dcinocrits curried it last year, the K?'
publicai s the jreer before. It is the Repub<
Uean tura again now. (Jur candidato, Mr. t'on
radl.\. has many elemcnta of strength, and is
uiu b bttkr fitted for tha ofike than his op
ponent. In at least two other diatricte in Brook
lyn the Democratic majority is ?o small that lt
can be wiped out if a sufflciently vigorous can
vass is made. Certainly if Kings County fails
to return two Senators and at fcfist three As
semhlymen this year, the Republicana of Broolc
lyn will not have done their full duty in the
campaign and at the polls.
HIXTS TO AMt.RICAX SWIXDLERS.
We regret to sec that an Ameriean swindler
nametl Balkwell Ls abroad in Great Brifain and
that he haa beaten the intelligcnt warden of
Merton Collc-c, Oxford, out of 10 shillings. But
he appears after all to l* a clumsy fellow. as he
has been caught and arraigncd la court; and even
if he had l>een successful in eseaping, all must
acknowledge that he could not have been any
very high order of swindler, or he would have
-touehed" the able warden for morc than 10
shillniKs The trouble with him ls not far to
s.ek. The account of his onerations is given as
follows in the dtspatch:
?? Piulln Bro^ks v a nove 1st. of Cambnoge, "?*?., ?nu
a l . oPf lilshop I'lilUips broola. Hc "??%X^&
uM! him If any mio at oxford WM acqua inted wKIl his
Snrtf_ther? Ollver Wendoll jjte.jtajl*?
rieciiussd himseif to be the aathac ef ?Mr. ?"gg g
New York,'1 nnd said that he hud recently been u>
Austrnlla. ...
We blush for our fellow-countryman'a inteiu
gencc. In folatlng such a flimay story as this on
the keen and sagactoua warden of Merton CoHeg8
he deserved to be cut ofT with 10 shillings and to
be oaptured and lose that too. We suggest to
the scoundrel that the next time he approaches
the penetrating warden of an Engliah college
hc tcll this story and stand some chance of
being successful: " My name is T. DeWitt
Ingersoll and I am the son of Bishop Robert
G. Ingersoll, pastor of the All Sainta'
Quaker Churoh of the city of Wiscon
sin. At prcsent I am writing religious tracts,
though I was formerly an emotional actor in
Anthony Comstocks Vaudevilles. I was born on a
farm in Philadclphia, but afterward came East
and settled in Arizona, where I managed a snow
shovel faciory. If there is anybody in town who
knows my uncle, (Jcorgc Washington, or my grand
tather, Benediet Arnold, they can vouch for me.
I wrote the 'Autobiography of Benjamin Frank
lin' and made money out of it, but lost it all
in managing a joint Iecturc tour of George Francis
Train and Christopher Columbus, Jhrough Lakc
Erie. The weather was wet and they failcd to
draw, thoagh we had a good house at West Vir
ginia. I was the Mayor of Mammoth (ave for
two years, and put down thc great longshoremen's
strike, led by Jay Goold. If you will let me
have ten pounjjs I will give you as security the
silvcr knee-buckles worn by Jeremiah .Simpson,
iirst Governor of the Dnlted Statea, when he was
inaugurated at laeofaa in 1402."
We do not wish it underetood, of course, that
we have any sympathy for Ameriean swindlers in
Europe, but if our swimllers must swindle over
there, we hope that they will display a little more
Intelligence than did this man Balkwell. His
idea that he could fool the wideawake warden of
Merton College with the transparent story which
he used, was preposterous. It laeked detail. But
a story built on the plan of the one we have out
lined above would be aomethlng entirely different.
There is some eubetaaoe to our story, and even an
enlightened college warden would think twice
before he would reject it. We don't bclieve that.
Balkwell is an Ameriean, anyhow.
Undoubtedly a bicycle race Ls a more e.xhilarat
ing speetaole than a walking match, but thus i
far there is no reason to suppose that the last j
stages of the prescnt eontest will be specially

to an agonizing extreme and kept there for daya

Governor Hill ought not to forget to assure
the people of Atlanta that he accepts their wel

known through the president of the Tax Depart
ment that he has " instittited a system for letect
ing the frauds of earfmen." That is assuredly
B step in the riirht direction. Now let Mr. Brennan
proceed to invent or " institute" a method of de
tecting and stopping the other leaks in bis de
