A sUBSTITUTE FOR HORSE POWER
ON THE ELM GROVE RAILROAD.

In asking consent of the City Council
for the privilege of substituting a motor
for horse power on their road, the Elm
Grove Company put "Noiseless Motor"
in their petition and explained it verb
ally by the term 'steam motor"
The weight of opinion in Council and
on the outside seems to be that "steam
MOTOR is neither noiseless, nor free
frum objection in other particulars. 1t
was fair presumption in advance that
bare proposition for the fuse of steam"
on that road, without any demonstra-
ton or assurance that its use would be
less objectiOnal than it is commonly OBJ
served to be, would be rejected.
On the other hand there Is reasOna'
bic presumption that the City Council
would readily grant the use of a motor
on that road were the fact demOnstra-
ted to their satisfaction that the kind of
motor to be adopted would not serious
ly interfere with the public convenience
and safety. There are number of diff
fereDt kinds of motors in use thatare pre-
ferred to steam. Itseems entirelyproba'
BILE that if the Elm Grove Company
are ready and willing to incur the ex-
pense Ofaltering their track and making
all the necessary changes and purchases
involved in the proposition to use a
steam motor, they could, with no greater
expense, adoptso other kind of motor
that would meet the approval of Coun-
ell and the public.
Would it, in fact cost more-cOnsid-
ering that they would in any event
have to virtually make new road-to
put down the endless chain motor than
to purchase number of engines to be
used directly ON the track? No change
would have to be made in the cars or
the rails now in use were the endless
chain motor to be substituted, while
with motors to be run on the track, the
present track, if not the cars also, would
be useless.
However this may be, it is not to be
doubted that when the Elm Grove
Company can satisfy Council that they
can procure such a substitute for horse
power as will not seriously interfere
with the rights of the public, the con-
sent will be heartily granted. And we
believe that this can and ought to be
done. The Elm Grove road is almost
necessity to the suburban population
East of the city, as wen as great con-
venience to the entire population, and
whatever privileges can reasonably be
granted to contribute to its prosperity
ought to be heartily conceded.

Congratulations.
Chas. A. Dana.

Elections have been recently held in
thirty-three States. Fifteen voted for Gov
ernor, and in thirteen of these the Demo
Gratis were successful. The Democrats were
successful in electing their candidates alse
in nearly all of the eighteen other States.
They reduced the regular Republican ma
jority in every one of them.
For this defeat of a great party of cor
ruption We congratulate the whole country.
We congratulate the Democrats for having,
after a most aggressive and creditable cam
paigu, seen their efforts rewarded with sue
cess. They are to be congratulated on
getting what they wanted and what they
deserved.
We also congratulate the Republicans on
the more decent and economical govern
ment that is bound to follow the abolition
of Secor Robson, and a Republican major
ity IN the House of Representatives that
rioted in jobs and extrayagant appropria-
tions, and took its greatest satisfaction ia
Kidding the country of the immense surplus
Of taxes by spending it instead Of by re-
ducing taxation.

Fortunately for the party having the
responsibility Of reforms in the next
two years, the specific character OF the
reforms demanded have been so clearly
indicated that there is little room for
laundering. The chief blunder would
be to neglect making them. That Is the
sin for which the Republican party has
been brought to account.
Moreover in the chief measure upon
which Congress win be called to act,
that of revenue reform, there would
seem to be but one course open, and bnt
one policy to choose. As pointed out
by the Philadelphia Record, the people
Of this country "are taxed by the Fed
eral Government over one million dol
larsper day. The total expenses Of the
Government, economically admins
tered, should not exceed 100000, 900
per year; they do exceed $3.50, OOO, 600,
and in addition surplus of Sl5O, 900, 900
is drawn from the resources Of the coun-
try in excess of any need of the Treas
ury. Suppose the S5O,OOO,OOO that are
misspent and the S15O,OOO,0OO that are
not needed were left where they
are needed, in the pockets of taxpayers;
the drain of 81 ,OOO,0 900 per week could
then be cut down to $S,50O,0OO. In
stead Of paying 100000 per day we
could get off with 100000 per day. or
we might pay a million on Mondays,
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, half mil
lion on Thursdays, and go untaxed on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Is
there any sane man who does not be-
heve that the country would instantly
respond to the relief which thus could
and should be given to its business in
terests? Or is it true that we are en-
riched from day to day by the demands
of the tax-gatherer?

IT is currently reported that there are to
be not less than fifty contested election
cases settled by the next Congress. Ii the
next Congress does its full duty it will
send many of the contestants packing. A
man whose constituents have repudiated
him by ever so small a majority should
have the decency TO stay repudiated, and II
he is not willing to do so his fellow csndi-
dates who were elected should compel him
10. These multitudinous and constantly
increasing contests are becoming an I'M
mitigated nuisance. Both parties are
guilty OF the same practice and both par
ties should be given to understand that the
people elect Congressman and propose that
they shall stay Observation-Disclosures Times.
IfCongress were not so free in foot
ing the bills of those who aspire to rep
resent districts against the verdict OF
the voters there would be more respect
for the ballot and less bummers in the

Business.

The Baltimore Sun says: "The indica'
tons are that unusual preparations will b.

and instead of the depression and disaster
that was predicted in some quarters before
the elections, the outlook is cheering and
gratifying. The work of building and i'm
provement has been and is still larger than
at any other period in the history of the
country, and with liberal distribution OF
wages among an unusual number of we'll
paid artisans and laborers, and extraordi-
narily abundant crops, the substantial
prosperity CT the country is undoubtedly
assured"

PRUDENCE WILL NOT ANSWER FOR
PROGRESS.

In the multitude of counsel now being
rendered the Democrats ia coming into
control, the negative instead of the posi-
tive virtues seem to be largely in favor.
One set of advisers are persistent in
enforcing the necessity of being "pru-
dent for the next two years." and an-
other set is equally persistent in the
prophecy that the Democrats twill be
sure to blunder" if they do anything.
Between the two there would seem to
be but one course open to the Demo-
Gratis, and that to do nothing.
There Is an insipid spirit, incapable
of either virtue or vice in the extreme,
sometimes controlling parties as well as
individuals, which Is as eowsrdly and
offensive In the one as In the other.
Something more than mere prudence
will be required to secure vote Of con-
fidence from the country two years
hence. Prudence will not be enough.
1t Is at best but a negative virtue. Pru-
-dence is good for resistance, but not for
attack; and there are evils and abuses
to be attacked before the Democratic
party can make good its claim to new
lease Of power.
Prudence, in a political party, is sim
ply "laying low" and the Democratic
party must be up and doing, If it would
prove the sincerity Of its professions.
