though there were no possibility of a
change for the better. Aud there is
the less excuse for this stuFid conaerva-
tism because it cannot be ascribed
to lack of better methods. Inven-
ton in these matters has far out
stripped the enterprise and sagacity OF cor
porations. Many different and perfectly
feasible ways of heating and lighting rail
way cars in such q manner that collisions
would not lead to confagrations, have been
devised. But the railways viii not adopt
them. It is like the battle OF the brakes.
Il took years to get the Westinghouse air
brake introduced in this country, and in
England we are not sure that it has been
adopted yet. though its superiority to the
old hand brake system is almost as great as
that of the modern railway to the old
stage coach. Again, it is evident from the
Spuyten Duyvil accident that the system
of signaling is still in very crude state.
Here were two express trains following one
another with only seven-minute interval.
The first is disabled by hot box, and Of
course In seven minutes finds itself within
the time of the following train. Then
a brakeman is sent back with a
lantern to stop the coming ex.
press, and fails to do his work.
1t is evident that there ought to be
signal system SO powerful and unmistaka.
BILE that coming train could be warned at
least half mile away. With the Westing-
house air brakes train going at the rate
OF twenty-five miles an hour can be brought
toa standstill in a distance of three hundred
feet. It would seem therefore that the
engineer of the Tarrytown express must
have failed entirely to see the brakeman's
signal, and the presumption is that the
careless brakeman did not go back dis
tance of two hundred yards. But what
is required is signal system which will
protect the travelling public against the
carelessness of railroad employees, and such
system can undoubtedly be arranged
with mechanical appliances. OF course
there is always someone to blame in
these accidents, but for the burning of
railway ears nowadays, from the upsetting
of stoves and lamps, there is no valid ex-
cuse. That at least is danger against
which the public ought to be efectually
guarded, and if the companies viii not
take the necessary precautions of their own
accord, the Legislature should compel them
to do SO.

A VASES STING.-The San Francisco

point of which viii be apparent only by
the complete perusal of this item: "An
Expensive Book.-We are indebted to our
enterprising contemporary, the Sacramento
Bee, for copy of its Illustrated Annual

most useful features of the book is a cal

SENATORIAL SECRETARIES.

Senator Brownies resolution to provide
every Senator who is not Chairman of a
committee with a Secretary needs more ex-
PLANTATION than it has had. OF course it is
a proposition which contemplates a very
considerable addition to the expenses of
nationsllegislation, but ii it could be shown
that it would produce a great quickening
in the transaction of business it might be
worth while. At present, however, the
presumption ia against the necessity of the
change. No doubt Senators are kept busy
answering letters from offiee-seekers, when
they are not in committee, and indeed
often when they are. We have under
stood that this constitutes one of the most
onerous parts of their duty. in fact. But
instead of giving them all private Secreta.
ries to conduct their spoils system corre-
spondence, we would suggest the prefsra-
bihty of doing away with the spoils sys-
tenn. By adopting that course the labors
of the Senators would be materially light
ened, and while they would have great
deal more time to bestow upon legislation,
the business OF the country in the several
departments would be much better done.
In short, we venture to think that Civil
Service Resolution would be more oppor-
tune than the one introduced by Senator
Browne.

"ODDS AND ENDS'

For a long time-es-
pecially during the rush of
the latter part Of the Fall
Trade-there has been an
accumulation of irregular
lines of goods and broken
quantitiesofvarious things
in all Departments. 1t is
SO every year at this time.
These " ODDS and
ENDS" although in
themselves none the less
desirable for the needs
and purposes of those who
buy them, are a hindrance
to a regular and orderly
stock of goods. Thus to
rid ourselves of them,
and to carry out our de-
termination to commence
the year with a perfectly
clean stock, we have TO-
DAY placed all these
goods on counters by
themselves and marked
them. Some at a little
above half value, some at
just half value, and others
at less than half value.
The early comers will get
the best and widests selec-
ton of things, although the
sale will be continued till
everything is closed out.
1t is an opportunity to
make ONE DOLLAR go
great way.

A Frojeot to Pipe Gas Two Hun
drod and Fiftv Mf1ea

A company Of well known capital
lists have organized the Gas Light
Transportation Company to mine
coal and manufacture gas in Penauyl-
vania, and pipe the gas to- eastsrn
cities. A director Of the company re-
Gently said that they propose to erect
gas works that will manufacture' no..
100000 feet Of gas per day. This
would require l, 460, 900 tons of coal
annually. The coal can be bought at,
the mines for SIS cents per ton, but the
gas companies pay $500 per ton f6f it !.
They save something by the sale Or
coke. tar; and ammoniacal liquor, 20
that their coal costs them $3ll per,
ton, or 80 cents q thousand cubic feet
of gas manufactured. Une great saving
expected by the new company il in tho
cost of coal and in the transportation.
Another saving will come, they think.
from the freshness of the coal, since
coal newly mined produces more and
better gas than coal that has been ex-
posed to the air and weather. The
cost of pumping the gas is offset by the
value of the coke. The deterioration
of gas in the long pipe they expect 70
counterbalance by making the gas
extra rich at first. The pipe is to BE-
of iron, six feet in diameter, laid in
hydraulic cement.
