The eminently practical action which the
Philadelphia managers of the Centennial are
now taking deserves fair and favorable con.
sideration on our part. 1t is not q surrender in
any sense of the local pride in which, natu-
rally enough, this enterprise had its origin and
which occasionally has some rather grotesque
manifestations. 1t is nothing of this kind;
for Philadelphia feels that she can have her
celebration whether New York aids or not;
hood, it is manly appeal to brotherly feel
ing. which must not be disparaged. II there
were or are foolish people in Philadelphia 30
pettshly jealous and self-complacent as to
talk about being entirely indifferent to the
sympathy of New York they have either
changed their minds or are silent. Philadel-
phia does need cur help, and, in o manly,
Straightforward way, comes forward and asks
1t. We wish New York had not waited to be
asked, but, being asked, there ought to be no
doubt about her answer. If Philadelphia, like
Chicago, were laid waste by fire. or as long ago
was the case, desolated by pestilence, there
would be no pause in our generosity, no need
of asking purses to be opened. When,
hundred years ago, the poor of Boston were
suffering the tortures of siege or of exile,
Philadelphia, be it remembered, did not wait
to be solicited, but sent, of her abundance,
generously So would it be If Gods hand
were laid heavily on us. The simiitude of the
necessity, then and now is not very exact
one, We concede; but it is not wholly without
its appositeness. Neglect or refusal to furnish
the relatively small sum Philadelphia asks of
ms may not lea to absolute failure, but to
something kindred to it. And with that pos

There is probably no interest moro i'm
portant more efficient, and at the same time
worthy of more attention, than what may be
called the sewing machine lobby in Washing
ton. The sewing machine is an invention
that has become as necessary to our civiliza-
ton as the axe or the gridiron no household
can do without It. Beginning in modest
way, it has now spread all over the world, On
invention so delicate and intricate. with SO
many changes and improvements, growing
from year to year simpler, cheaper and more
useful. Although supply and demand, inn
proved machinery and competition have en-
abled the sewing machine companies to make
the instruments at small cost, there has
really been no diminution of the price in
America. The reason of this is that o
few companies three or four, we think
have combined and purchased all the patents,
and by these rights they compel every ma
chine to pay them an extravagant royalty,
amounting to as much as the whole cost of
the instrument itself. Tho consequence is,
that in any foreign country-France, Ger
many, England. and even in Canada-sewing
machines are as cheap as stoves. Better ma
chimes than We have are sold for less than
half the cost. But, by reason of these patente,
the combination which owns them, with the
interest they have at Washington, monopoly
is formed that practically controls the market
in the United States, and every buyer OF o
sewing machine pays q tax Of one hundred
per cent to the combination that holds these
patent rights.
The agcn's OF this combination have been
and are now among the busiest, shrewdest
aud most effective managers in Washington.
The story that they have endeavored to obtain
an extension to one Of the patents is undoubt-
edly true, but it is question whether they
have succeeded or failed. Far be it from US
to deny to the inventor OF one of these
machines the profit due to genius and skill;
but the protection afforded by patent to an
inventor cannot last forever The community
has rights as well as the inventor. The men
who have MADE sewing machines have amassed
fortunes. They have been repaid over and
over again for their capital and their skill 1t

I'm Frosty Weather and tho Mid
guard Rail.
The terrible disaster on the Great West
ern Railway near Shipton, England, has
aroused attention to the fragility Of rolling
stock and revived the wholesome agitation Of
the proposed mid-guard rail This frightful
accident to an express train of thirteen
crowded cars was due to the breaking of
tire or axle and the precipitation .of hundreds
of passengers over an embankment The
fracture Of axles and the running gear of rail-
way carriages is one of the most unavoidable
sources Of peril to the passenger. Engineers
have clearly traced it to the subtle physical
change in the fbrous texture of the best iron
the toughest and most fibrous metal ass,lm-
ing, after long strains the crystalline form.
The Shipton disaster occurred during a
thaw, after extreme cold and seems there
fore to connect the fragility of the broken
machinery with the frosty weather and its
effect on the tensile strength of the tire. The
increased liability to such accidents in very
cold or thawing weather has long been no.
ticed. late writer in q scientific journal has
shown the strong probability that this in
creased peril arises not so much from weaken
ing OF the metal by cold as from diminution
Of the elasticity Of the road-bed and also Of
the machinery. During the intense cold of

OSlty lnDO new cnauuel, ana confer upon
the city in which they have acquired their
wealth benefit which will reach thousands
of recipients for every individual who profits
by their other benefactions?
We might dwell on the effect of efficient
contributions to rapid transit in enhancing
the value of their own property. They are
the heaviest of our taxpayers, and it would
be easy to show that the prodigious rise in
property in the upper part Of the city would
tighten their taxes by multiplying the values
on which taxes are levied. 1t would be easy to
demonstrate that cheap rapid communication
with the upper part of tho island would add
to the value of all city property and that
the largest owners would profit most
by the increase. But we prefer to adj
dress our appeal to their public spirit
rather than their interest. They have abun-
dainty shown that they are capable of disin-
terested motives, and if they should now per-
form great act of far-seeing generosity no
body would wish TO violate its dignity or abate
deserved admiration by suggesting that it
proceeded from sense OF interest. Ii they
put forth their strong hands to carry forward
rapid transit to early completion it will be in
the character of public benefactors, seeking
no reward but the esteem of their fellow citi-
zens and the grateful remembrance of those
who come after them. We have many citi-
xens who could contribute a million dollars
