SEVERAL experiments have been
made lately to test the practicsbility of
applying electricity as q motor on
street railroads. One of the most
successful was made at Greenvllle, N.
j., on q track about one. eighth of a
mile long, with one sharp curve and a
heavy grade. The electric motor drew
. five ton car over 1t at a good rate of
speek. With q load Of seven passen-
gers 1t spun along at a rate equal to
that of Q steam locomotive. The Daft
electric motor, Oh 1t Is called, consists
of q simple pair Of trucks placed on
the rails "a Q basis; under q platform
above 1t are the electrical appliances
for regulating the motor. The rate Of
speed can be increased or diminished
at will. Tae electricity is generated
by q powerful dynamo machine, and
carried to the rails through which
1t runs . harmless current. It IL
claimed that the cost of running
cars by electricity ID forty per cent
less than by steam. The motor re.
gains Is per cent Of the energy e1-
erted by the steam engine which gen.
crates the electricity. On long rail.
roads It will be necessary to have
stations every 20 miles at which dyna.
mos Of the requisite power shall bs
placed for supplying the train. On
street railways only five to ten miles
In length this would be unnecessary,
as one charge would carry q ca,
through from one end of the line te
the other. The cost Of the motor,
which Is q small affair, Is triflipg som
pared with that Of q steam engine
and any number can be run on tn,
same track. The motor is to be uset
on street railroads in Newark and OF
one Of the Ooney Island roads; If
shall be found to work sa~tisfactoril,
on these 1t may come into use else
where and we shall In the end ae
electric motors substituted tor hors

THE statement that the expenses Of
the national government for the our
rent year would exceed $500, coo, 900,
including interest, presumes that the

these payments proceed slowly and
will not exceed $40, 900, 900, In which

less depends on how near the appro-

COTTON We. FOOD PRODUCTS.

Southern farmers are complaining
bitterly Of the ~cheapness o cotton and
the small returns received from it's
production. Theyolaim that the price
has steadily decreased for the past five
years, and that at the present
time, the cost of raising % and
marketing the crop leaves no surplus
ts the producer.
In reply to these complaints the cot
ton factors of st. Louis have sent out
q circular letter of advice to southern
planters which contains many excellent
points. They insist that the only way
for the farmers of that section to at.
tain independence and competence Is
to grow less cotton and pay more at
tentlon to the raising offood products.
After pointing out that the credit
system, SO long In vogue In the south,
is disastrous to planters and tenants,
because 1t forces them to pay extrava-
CANT prices for supplies, and obligss
them to force their cotton Into the
market with such rapidity and in such
quantities as send prices, In many
instances, down below the cost
of production, the factors de.
clare that over production
of the favorite staple Is the key note
to the entire situation. Believing
that 1t will be to the advantage of the
sou,h they advise that farmers devote
their labor first to the raising Of
grain, cattle and hogs, and give the
balance Of their time to the culture
OF cotton. 1t Goes not require much
reflection to understand the utility
and value OF the advice thu
preferred. Those who give their solt
attention to cotton culture must de
pend upon the merchant for al
supplies, and when their crops ar
ready for market they are so heavil,
In debt hat they are compelled t.
sell and take such prices as they car
get. They cannot afford to hold on
because their creditors are entitled t,
q settlement on the years trade
They are losers In two ways, TO
while cotton Is fifteen per cen
lower at this time than the average o
the past five years, corn is thirty
three per cent and provisions ovel
fifty per cent above the average.
If southern farmers would under
take the raising Of their own supplie
and decrease the production of cottor
there can be no doubt that a chang
would loon be wrought In their condi
tion. As the factors we'll put 1t Ii
their circulars, with the production
Of enough provisions on each farmIfo'
domestic use, cotton would become
surplus, and soon the incubus of deb
would be lifted from their shoulders
and each year advance them on tn
high road to prosperity and wealth.

NEW York, March G.-As desperate q
prize fight as this city has ever witnessed
took place tonight. It occurred in the base
ment OF Matt Grace's Bowery sporting
house. The principals were George Full
james, the lightweight champion, and
Patrick Gallagher, noted pugilist of Phila-
delphia. The men fought with kid gloves
on to evade the law furnishing prlze fghts.
The battle was for $500 and the light weight
championship. Fourteen rounds were fought
in "a minutes, the fight being awarded 10
Fulljames, as at the end of the 14th
round Gallagher failed to come to tune.
Gallagher was terribly punished, and Full
james almost as severely, In the middle OF
the fight cry Of police was raised, but It
proved false alarm and the men returned
to the ring aud finished the mill. Steve
Taylor seconded Fulljames and "Fiddler"
Neary performed the same office for Gal
lagher. Over 800 people witnessed the
tight, which is described as one Of the
iercest ever seen. Philadelphia sent q
strong delegation of sporting men and this
city was largely represented. Although the
fight occurred within a stones throw OF
police headquarters, no arrests were made.
