NEW ELEOrR,C RAILWAY.

Now the experiments of lighting by cleo
triciiy are succeeding so well as 10 insure
the permanency of the system, the next in
teresting subject in the electric line is as 10
the prospect Of running railroads by electrici-
ty. Experimental trials are making that
will settle the question before long, and the
most important of them has just been init
ated. Messrs. Siemans have railway OF a
mile and half long at Berlin, over which a
train travels successfully. Our own Edison
has one at Menlo Park, New jersey, that ie
three and half miles long, and he recently
stated to New York reporter that his ex-
periments with il are so satisfactory as to in.
spire the most sanguine expectations.
The London Graphic now informs us OF a
still more advanced effort. A company raised
S225 900 in $50 shares and has built a rail
way six miles long, from Portrush TO the
Giants Causewsy. Steel rails are laid level
with a graveled surface; parallel 10 them
extends a third rail OF iron. This conducts
the electric current from the dynamo to the
train. The contact is made by means OF an
electric brush. The station at Portrush sup
plies the whole electric power required. On
the river Bush turbines are placed, and they
are expected TO generate the required cleo
trio power; should they fail TO supply suf-
6cient force steam power will be employed
as needed. As electricity is the impelling
power, the heavy rails Necessary to support
locomotive are not required, nor has horse
track 10 be kept up, as in the street railways.
The entire grading is six feet in width The
gauge OF the road is three feet. The
railway runs at the side of the
ordinary road. The constructors of
the road feel confident that their project will
prove profitable investment. The cars are
twenty feet long and six feet broad, and are
handsomely fitted up. Should this six-mlle
road answer its purpose, considerable step
will have been made in the electrical rail-
road problem. At any rate, the experience
that will be gained upon it will point out
what may be wanting, and give pretty clear
indication whether railway travelling free
from the rush Of steam, the thunder OF the
heavy locomotive, and the annoyance from
smoke, cinders and sparks, is one of the i'm
provements we may reasonably hope 10 en-
ioy in the future.

IMpoRrANT no nUsINEss mEN

The resolution adopted by a committee in
Congress shat it is inexpedient to discou-
tinue the coinage of silver;" that coin in the
treasury, with some exceptions, should at
once be used in the payment of the outstand-
ing obligations Of the government subject to
call and payment; and that additional vault
room should be constructed TO receive the
unused coins minted each mopih-has be-
gun to arouse the attention OF business men
to the necessity Of resisting the danger which
Congress has created and is now preparing
to precipitale still more strongly upon the
country. II is seen that we are rapidly APP
preaching the point where a sound currency
is to give place 10 huctuating one; that the
days are coming back when the premium on
gold, which 90 much embarrassed commercial
operations before resumption.is again to be in
operation. This will divide the country's
currency into dollars that are worth adollsr,
and dollars that will not bring dollar,
when goods will sell at one price If paid for
in silver and at another when paid for in
gold. The effect will not be limited to the
silver dollar; the paper subject to be ex-
changed for silver will also be at discount.
Tins our currency will be utterly dersnged,
and the wretched state Of things that existed
before resumption will be again upon us
with all its evils. The treasury has done all
it could to postpone the evil day when the
mischief of the silver dollar coinage will be
fully felt. The obstinacy OF Congress is
neutralizing all the treasury has done. The
proportion of silver in the treasury balance
hasincreased enormously during the last two
years, and the time is coming when the eighty
three cent dollar is to be forced upon the
public creditor for 100 cent?. No intelligent
business man can be in the dark as TO what

will be The result when the United States
treasury begins TO pay out the under-yalue
dollsrs by the ton. Should Congress adopt
the committed resolution, about forty mil
lions Of silver dollars would have TO be paid
out IN redemption OF the bonded debt
Should gold be paid cut as leug as il lssta,
silver coin must be resorted to at last, and
then that even would necessarily fall to a
discount. 1t is clearly time for the business
community 10 arouse itself, for its boards of
trade and exchanges TO exert themselves TO
stop the damaging policy now contemplated
in Congress. We know the question will be
asked whether, instead OF tons Of silver, the
treasury may not pay out silver certificates?

RELIGIOUS PERSONALS.

The Pope is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF appointing prelate to settle church
affairs in the United States and Canada.
BISHOP DoASE, of Albany, has made plan
to build i grand cathedral in that city, and
he has collected S43, 600 with which TO begin
the work. The site has been selected, and
the ground has been paid for. The cathe-
dral is 10 seat 1000 people, and will have cost
when completed about 100000.
The late Bishop Talbot, of indianapolis,
left characteristic will, consisting princi-
pally of vigorous reafirmation of his faith.
He bequeathed his fine theological library,
some works OF art, and the bonds given him
for arrears Of salary, amounting 10 about
$1,000, to his successor in the episcopacy.

THERE is some gossip in the New York

Falk legislation from the statute book, al
though he agreed TO the passage of law
giving the ministry discretionary power in
the matter of carrying out the regulations
complained Of. This, however, did not sail
isfy the Ultramontanes, and now the Empe-
ror sends aletfer, countersigned by Bismarck,
in which he says that his request for notice
OF appointments to ecclesiastical functions
had been made quite a. much in the interest
of the church as of the state, and that if the
Vatican would adopt different attitude he
would agree to obtsin from Parliament a
complete revision of the May laws. To thie
the Pope replies that in consideration of this
concession he is willing to enter into an ar
rangement by which the assent of the Prus-
sian government can be had in an informal
way to ecclssiastical appointments. The
Pope has shown himself in the negotiations
moderate and sagacious, but ii is to be feared
that the Emperor will find his self-imposed
task much harder one than he at present

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY., ;: FEBRUARY 10, 1888
THE NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH.


The New York Tribune calls attention 10
the Importance of Congress making provi-
sion for the continuance of the National
Board OF Health. The act OF June 2, 1879,
limited the existence OF the board TO four
years, go that on the I'd of June next the
country will be deprived OF It's services, I'M
less Congress takes the necessary steps TO ex-
tend its existence. This is a matter that
should not be lost sight Of by the country at
large. To the portions of country exposed
to the ravages of yellOw-fever its continued
existence is a matter of the first importance,
and no time should be lost in making Con-
gress aware Of the interest taken in the
matter. Nearly four years have gone by
without the recurrence Of an epidemic, and
the proceedings of the National Board Of
Health have done much toward securing
that immunity. The board has wider
sphere of action than State boards can posi-
bly, possess. An epidemic has no regard for
the State lines within which the action Of
State boards has TO be limited. 10 secure
the proper precautions there must be power
in existence as unlimited as is the possible
range Of an spidemic-a power that is ma
tional, that reaches from State TO State, and
includes the whole country and it's seacoasI
approaches. A power that can control by IFS
sanitary regulations the steamboats, and rail
ways that cross from State 10 State, and that
demic prevails, to carry sickness, loss Of
trade, and death over large sections CT ooun-
try. As transit by railroad has largely in
creased since 1879, the necessity
for the National Board OF Health
has become more necessary in proportion.
As four years have passed by without an out
break of yeIow.iever, the possibility of an
other epidemic, unless there is a controlling
power TO introduce the necessary safeguards,
Is greater now than at the cessation of the
last epidemic. Are our people willing that
the power whose beneficial interference has
been productive OF such excellent results
should cease to exist? If they are not, they
should give hearty and ortspoken support 10
bill introduced into the Senate by Senator
Harris, Of Tennessee who Il indefafisalie 70
A4S eaorts to secure lie passage, and with il
the permanent establishment OF the board
Congress should be made aware that his
efforts, and the efforts of those who are acting
with him, are viewed with deep interest and
sympathy, and have the heartfelt support Of
those whose melancholy experience have
made them sound judges as to whether the
services OF National Board Of Health are
or are not of value. Congress has matters
OF great Importance before ii just now, but
none more urgent than this. A word ought
to be added as to the moderate cost at which
the services OF the National Board have been
made available. At the end Of three years
existence only $4,000 of the 100000 ap.
propriated had been expended. Less than
100000 is asked for the next two years.

that "every consideration of the national
welfare seems to demand that it shall not

New YORK, February GA private meet.
Jog of rubber manufacturers was held at The
