ELECTRICAL PROGRESS.

American progress and development
in mechanical arts admits of no cOmpe-
titor. In that line as in all others, en-
ergy and ingenuity have placed us far
in advance of all other nations. The
creative genius of the people is never at
rest. 1t is constantly devising new and
sim pier forms of old me thOds or bringing
out original designs and appliances to
Tighten labor and contribute to the sum
total of human comfort. This develop
ment is particularly prominent in the
domain of electricity, bat we cannot
measure our advance in that department
without a comparison with the progress
OF Europe.
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, who has made
an extended tour of the old world,
draws an unfavorable picture of electri-
cal progress there. France and Ger
many are on a par with this country in
electric lighting, while England is
progressing backward in this respect.
The electric lighting plants of Paris
and Berlin are unsurpassed. A system
technically called general consump-
tion" is used, and all wires are under
ground, thus obviating the dangers of
contact. In London electric lighting is
confined to few select points.
This is largely due to the OBJ
structive laws of the country, and the
fact that the original investors sunk
money by adopting wrong theo-
ries at the outset Electric motors
are coming into general use in Ger
many, and enormous sums are being
invested in electric plants. France
does not advance rs rapidly as Germany,
but the marvellous applications of that
potent power as shown at the Paris eX-
position will accelerate its adoption
in all departments. 1.-The Europeans"
says Mr., Edison, "have not yet adopted
electric meters as we have. They have,
on the other hand, one thing that
we have not, but which we must have
a more economical system for cohsum-
ing coal. With this cheaper system of
making electric light, which is sure to
come, predict that within five years it
will be cheaper by far than gas"
The question OF fuel is the one great
barrier to the general adoption OF cleo
trio light in this country. 1t is espec-
tally true of towns and cities distant
from tho mines, and if an Edison or a
Brush succeed in increasing the heat
producing power of fuel, they will not
only solve the light question, but vastly
enhance the industrial progress of the
country.
Mr.. Edison's observations confirm the
fact that in the application of cleo

WHEREIN WE ARE GREAT.

Edwin Arnold, the distin guished
English poet and editor, now visiting
IN this country, is one OF those liberal,
broad minded and thoroughly friendly
Englishmen whose opinions and sugges-
tions all intelligent Americans will re-
spect. Without in the least degree dis
paraging his own country, without sur
rendering any measure Of his devotion
TO the land in which he is deservedly
honored as an erudite scholar, a wise
and honest journalist, and brilliant
poet, Mr.. Arnold can do full justice
TO all that is mertorious and commend
able in the character and achievements
of the American people, while not
emitting TO point out and criticize
those faults and blemishes which are
perhaps unavoidable ina comparatively
new and rapidly advancing country,
but which none the less need attention
directed to them in order that they may
be corrected.
Mr.. Arnold is entitled to the respect
and honor of all patriotic Americans
for the reason that he was the earnest
friend OF the union at the time when it
greatly needed the courageous friend
ship of such men abroad. In the years
of conflict and peril no man in England
stood forth more bravely than Edwin
Arnold in defense of the cause of the
American union. Shoulder to shoulder
with John Bright and a few others, he
fought the overwhelming sentiment of
England hostile to this government,
rendering n service to the American
people which could not well be overesti-
mated. The opinions and suggestions of
such friend, with his wealth of wisdom
and experience, is surely entitled to
our most respectful consideration. Mr..
Arnold has said many gratifying and
encouraging things of the United States
and its people since he h. been among
us, and when he shall have made tour
OF the west and witnessed its superior
energy and enterprise he will undoubt-
edlY have much more to say favorable
to US.
In recent article, after specifying a
few things, easily improved, in which
we are deficient, Mr.. Arnold referred
to. our colleges, libraries, museums
and observatories as leaving positively
no excuse to American youth. '."They
must henceforth create" he said, "and
not import poets, authors, artists, sculp-
tors, scientific geniuses and astrono-
mers," and he concluded with the dec
laration: "You really owe US, with all
your glorious chances, galaxy of great
Names" In her educational institu-
tions the United States is great. She
may have no one college or university
equal TO the foremost institutions of
learning in England, but in the
multitude OF her educational
facilities, available to the whole
people, this country is not behind any

Tho Only Certain Road to Victory.

The best possible chances of republican
success will lie IN the making of an admins
tration satisfactory TO the country. If that
is done there need be no fears of the democ-
racy coming into power again in 1892; and If
it is not done it will come into power. The
republicans now have fair majority in both
branches of congress; they have the execu-
tive Office and can do what they like. From
now until November of 1892 they will be sub.
iect to the criticism and attacks of the oppo-
siton and every mistake they make will be
known, proclaimed and magni6ed. They
cannot therefore, 40 too much for the coun-
try's welfare, nor commit too few buuders
if they would keep control of the govern
meut. 1t will depend much more upon them
selves than upon the democrats whether
they win or lose in 1892

Standing in the Rain.

He stood upon the corner of the busiest street
In town.
Supporting an umbrella while the rain was
coming down,
And now and then his wicked glance went
up and down the street,
To see if he could catch u glimpse of some
young woman's feet.
Just then maiden passed that way with
slightly lifted skirt,
To keep her dress from dragging IN the water
and the dirt.
MAY loan you my umbrella while I'm walk
ing by your sidef
May ] ask you where your goingln The
maiden quick replied:
mo, thank YOU, sir; I'm looking to find

Or loafer who has sense enough TO 90 in

And have looked on every side, from Car
roll street to Main,
And every loafer | have seen is standing in

FOR HE FUTURE.

Rcnncu Rodd IN The Ndtionulit.
Turn, turn from the caves dark hollow look
up TO tho light and see,
Though thine eyes be da2Sd in the glory, the
man that Is yet to bel
Times wings arc at pause beside him, and
calm is his hearts strong beat,
And the dust of these old domiuous is
Powerful round his feet.
Exult, we have won the midway, and tho
light has scared the gloom,
And we smile at the old sad sentence, we are
freed from the endless doom,
Not heirs of forfeit Godhcad, degenerate,
waning away,
But climbing, and all too slowly, from dark-
ness into day.
There is light in my eyes of dawning, OF a
fair world weary OF Sleep
/ see the new peopling islands, dominions
over the deep,
Away TO the ancient forest, and the wids
that are yet unwon,
Where the cnvious growth of crccpcrs goes
rivalling up to the SUM-
Where the streams of the Orient land roll
out through their gates OF gold,
When the dizzicst mountain submits were
shrines of the faiths of old
Where the well of the desert waters gives
Where the tent CT the turbaned nomad is set
by the inland sea.
From the zone of the torrid summers to the
uttermost ways of snow,
From the inland-men to the island-mcn,
snail the greeting of goodwill 90;
Peace, peace on the earth forever and we all
forgotten so long,
But the air that they breathe is holy because
OF our signs ana song
And their maids shall bo pure as moruiug,
their youth shall be taught no lie,
But the way shall be smooth and open 70
all men under the sky;
They will build their new romauccs, new
dreams of world to be,
Conceive sublimer outcome than the end of
the world we see,
And the shadow shall pass we dwell in, till
under the self same sun
The names OF the myriadSnations are writ in
the name of one.

THE London Times processes to be-
lieve that the Inter-American congress
will not accomplish great deal for any
OF the countries concerned in it, espe-
cially the United States. The paper
says If the delegates go home pleased
with their hosts, impressed by the mag
nitude of the country and anxious to re-
visit it in 1892 when the world s fair will
be held in New York, the American
congress will have done as much as can
reasonably be expected" The results of
the congress as mapped out by the Times
are all very we'll, and this country
should, and doubtless will, feel deeply
grateful to England for the admission
Of benefits il is pleased to allow us, but
we have inherited one trait frsm the
mother country which has always per-
yaded the English breast, and that is to
do the best we can with the opportuni-
ties afforded. Our leading men can
forsee far greater results than the
Thunderer will admit. Manifestly
most Of the reciprocal trade between
this country and South America will
curtail the commerce of Great Britain.

Ii il should be developed that the Clan
