Not a Question of Power.
Salt Lake Tribune.

The Globe Democrat looks forward to the run
ming of railroad trains. within the next ten
years, at the rate of ono hundred miles an houi
by electricity. We believe that electricity will
be the motive power eventually; believe the
power to generate it will be water power, for
after while, the world must somewhat curtail
its use of fuel but do not just see where the
one hundred miles an hour is going to come in.
or why this can be better accomplished by
electricity than by steam. It is not matter Of
sufficient power, but the question is how ia
hold trains the track when running at that
speed. 1t will require straight tracks, low
grades and additional protection in case trains
want to jump the track. The improvements
are wanted in the mechanics of what is already
understood; not in new invention of power.

THE LowRY-wHITE CASE.

It VIII Come Before the Committee To-Day,
and a Speedy Decision Is Expected.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 Major William Fl.
Calkns, of Indianapolis, who is attorney for
Representative White, of Fort Wayne, in the
Lowry-White contested election, spent to-day
in the law library of the House, preparing his
case, which will come before the committee on
elections tomorrow. He is very confident of
success So far, have heard of no one who
understands the case who thinks Lowrys
grounds of contest teEable. Lawyers say the
merits of the case rest upon the question wheth-
er White can offer record evidence to show that
he a naturaized citizen. Should it be held
to the contrary, however, and should White for
any reason, be unseated. 1t is not believed that
Lowry can by any hook or crook be seated, as 1t
will be shown that every argument used against
White can be turned against Lowry. Lowrys
array OF legal talent-three lawyers-have been
at work for weeks. and he himself has been
constantly with them working up the case. A
decision may be made to morrow by the COM
mittee, and report is likely to soon follow in
the House, that the case will, in all probabli-
ity, not hang fire very long.

OBJECTOR HOLMAN.

An Incident Showing that He Has Aban-
doned the Watchdog Business.
Special to the indianapolis Journai-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Everybody in the
House notices the change in the demeanor of
7olman, of Indiana. He has quit his croaking
about economy, and there is nothing left
for him upon which to claim the title ''Watch-
1og Of the Treasury" He is giving his time
now, since he left the committee on appropra-
tions and has become chairman of public lands,
to other matters than economy. Last week,
during the discussion in the House of the urgent
deficiency BILL an incident occurred which
shows to what extent the members recognize
the fact that Holman has quit looking after the
matter of saving money to the people. MIR.
Guenther, of Wisconsin, had his eye on q section
of the bill which appropriated money
for the sufferers from overflow of the
Wisconsin and Fox rivers. In the last
Congress, when Holman was member Of the
committee on appropriations. he made de-
termined objection to this very clause, and
helped to defeat it When it came up in the
bill the other day Mr.. Guenther was on his feet
watching every movement. His anxiety to have
the clause adopted just reported from the
committee was great Holman left his seat,
and walking mp to the reading clerk looked over
the latters shoulder and read the section very
carefully. While he was doing this, Mr..
Guenthers nervousness was intense. and 1eav-
Ing his desk went over to his colleague, Mr..
Stephenson, and called his attention to the fact
that Holman after their appropriation
again. Mr.. Guenther urged Mr.. Stephenson to
go at once to Mr. Holman and pull him
Df. Then he returned to his seat. The discus
sion the section was opened, and
MIR. Holman continued to 1inger around
the reading clerk with suspicious demeanor.
For few minutes Guenther lost sight of
the Hoosief, but finally. when his eyes rested
upon him again, he became even more nervous
than before. Looking over across the Repub-
ican side of the House, he saw his colleague sit
ting compossdly, with his feet upon his desk,
having never stirred an inch. Guenther ran
over to Stephenson and asked him why ne had
not attended to Holman.
''Oh, never mind Holman" said Stephenson.
''You must remember that Holman has left the
appropriations committee, and has quit the eco
nomical howl. He has gone out Of the Directing
business"
Guenther returned to his seat and continued
10 watch the debate, but there cessation
TO his nervousness for some time, and until he
discovered that Holman had left the floor of the
House. The appropriation, which was very
just one, was passed without objection The
Wisconsin delegation are smiling over the mat
ter, and wonder what has come over the dreams
of the HoOaier.
