The Line and Staff.
THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE NAVY TO AVOID FAC
TIoNAL FIGHTS.

THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE NAVY TO AVOID FAC
TIoNAL FIGHTS.
One of Secretary Whitney's latest acts was to
pay glowing tribute of respect and admira-
ton to his successor at the head of naval
affairs. He said that among Gen. Tracey's
many other excellent qualities was q broad,
liberal turn of mind, that would enable him to
avoid being drawn into trouble by the cross
currents of personal and factional fighting in
the service. This allusion, it is generally
thought, pointed to the strife between the line
and the staff of the Navy for advantage, which
ID u understood to have given Mr.. Whitney con-
siderable trouble. OF course the new chief is
being watched by both sides with anxious eyes
to discover any indications Of his future
policy on this question, and small Incl
dents are discussed with avidity by
the officers with the hope of eliciting clues
One OF these occurred yesterday, not many
hours after Gen. Tracy had taken the oath Of
Office.
About year ago Secretary Whitney made up
his mind to move his desk in order to get u
little better light, and preparatory to this he
had the wires severed that connected his desk
with those of the heads of the various bureaus
These had formerly enabled him to commu-
nicate directly with each one in person without
the intervention of any other officer. 1t was
his intention to have the wires reconnected,
but for some reason it was not done. and of
late the Secretary has had to reach his bureau
chiefs through the medium Of other persons.
This has, to some extent, kindled anew some
OF the feeling. but one of Gen. Tracy's first
acts has pleased everybody; it was an order
that the wires between the offices be recon-
nected at once, which has been done, and both
line and staff are breathing easier in the con-
sclousness that communication with their chief
will not be filtered through the medium Of an
officer on the other side

Something Electricity is Doing.

Under tn title Something Electricity is Do
ing" Charles Barnard writes in the March Gen.
fury:
To me student Of social science the electric
motor is full of suggestions for the future IL
power can be subdivided and conveyed to .
distance, why may not our present factory sys-
tenn of labor be ultimately completely changed
People are huddled together under one roof
because belts and shafts are pitiabiy short.
III power may traverse a wire, why not take
the power TO the peoples homes, or TO smaller
and more healthful shops in pleasanter places2
To-day We find sewing women crowded into
hot stuffy room, close TO the noise, smell,
dust and terrible heat of some little steam
engine at one end of the room. The place
must be on a lower floor because of the
weight Of the engine and the cost OF carry
ing coal upstairs. Let us see how the work
may be done with motors. We may take the
elevator in a wholesale clothing warehouse on
Bieecker street and passed through the sales
rooms 10 the top floor. The building is lofty
and OF light construction, and yet we find in
the bright and pleasant attic above the house,
tops a hundred girls, each using power. They
are seated at long tables, each one having Q
sewing machine, and secured 10 the under
side of the table is a small electric motor,
one to each machine. The operator has
only to touch foot-pedal and the motor starts,
giving about one-tenth of horse power. AZ
very high speed II the speed is too fast il can
be regulated at will by the pressure Of the foot
on the treadle. There is no heat, no dust or ILL.,
smelling oil, and only q slight humming
sound, the sewing machine itself making
more noise than the motor. The room
is sweet, clean and light, and il ID
in every respect q healthful work-room.
If we look out of the window we see
two insulated wires passing under the sash
down to the electric-iight wires on the poles
below. There are people who cry out against
the overhead wires, and would pull them all
down. Some day they will be buried UNDER
ground Meanwhile, is il not an immense gain
for these working-girls TO be placed in quiet,
sunny room, far fran the maddening engine?
In another shop on Broadway we may see diff
ferent arrangement. two-horse-power
motor takes its current from an electric-ight
wire in the street and redistributes its power TO
shafting placed under the work-tables. Each
operator with q tonch of the foot throws her
machine into gear and takes her share Of the
two-horse-power.

THE MATTER OF GAS REFORM
How the Attempts 60 Accomplish It
Have Been Defeated.

Senator Spooner il greatly disappointed be-
cause he has been unable 20 do anything 20 re-
lieve the citizens OF Washington from the bur
dens imposed upon them by the local gaslght
company. As a member Of the District oom-
mittce, he has labored industriously 10 bring
about gas reform; that is, 10 give the people
better and cheaper gas. he has introduced
several bills in that direction, but strange 10
say he has never been able 10 get majority Of
the committee to join with him in getting the
subject regularly before the Senate. In con-
versation with reporter of The SrkR, the Wis
consin senator stated that on several occasions
he counted upon the cooperation Of certain
members of the committee, but when the stick
ing point was reached they had changed their
minds or were not ready for decisive action
There are other committees which would be
more congenial 10 him aud il il only his inter-
est in the gas question that has induced him 10
refrain from requesting transfer. He 10
about ready 10 despair Of securing any legisla-
ton that win effect the gas company, hence he
NAV be relieved from further service on the
District committee.
In this connection his attention has been
called 10 the fact that the gas company have
| removed all lamps from the posts along Penn
sylvania avenue, and other thoroughfares now
lighted by electric light This is a very un-
fortunate state Of affairs, especially the
electric lights frequently get out of order and
the streets referred 10 are in total darkness.
Last Monday night when the streets and
avenues were filed with inaugural visitors
Pennsylvania avenue west of 18th street was
without either gas or electric light. excepting
the few lamps around the White House, which
shed their kindly light upon the wet sidewalks,
and the cables along the CUTTERS, which had
been spread to keep the pedestrians upon the
sidewalk during the parade. Many visitors
commented upon the fact in terms not alto
gether complimentary TO Washington rs the
capital city. Those who stumbled over the
cables andwalked blindly into he mud puddles,
were particularly severe in their criticism.
Inquiry at the District buildings and also a.
the gas Office discloses the fact that 10 reduce
the expenses of the local government the outlay
| for gas along the streets lighted by electricity
was suspended The gas company, like any
other private enterprise, could not be induced
| to furnish gas without compensation, hence
they ordered the lamps TO be taken from the
posts. In the meantime, whenever an accident
happens to the electric lights, the principal
streets in the city will be in darkness. New
York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and all Of
the leading cities use both gas and electricity,
| and they do not turn out the lights on dark
nights when the moon is down on the bills to
shine.

Ciyilizing Africa, 1883.

From Blackwood's Magazine.
We steamed down TO Bakuti and finding that
the natives were hostile, passed on to Bokele.
When we were about halfway past this latter
place Samba drew N. Van Kerckhoyen's atten
ton to several large war canoes, fully manned
and armed, crossing the channel Just in front
OF us. while two or three more were living half
concealed under the bushes on the island. Sud
denly the report of q fintlock musket rang out
and shower of sings across our bows indicated
only too plainly that the natives intended 10
sell them again to the Mundele. Two more
huge war canoes emerging from a small creek
behind us, showed that they had well
thought out the affair beforehand, and
now reckoned on having caught us in q
trap. However, we had no intention OF
sitting at their tables, as Charles Lamb
has il, mot as guests, but as meat" Out came
our Martins and Winchesters; the men were
furnished with cartridges for their Sniders and
chassepots, and, slowing down for few min
utes we let them have it right and left, before
and behind, and then, putting on full steam,
charged straight for the two canoes ahead OF
us. As we approached we exchanged our long
range Martins for the quick-fring Winchester,
and the mighty men of Langa-Langa were soon
glad to dive into the river 10 escape the deadly
hail Of the repeating rifles. The whole river
front Of the village was lined with avagee in
their war paint and feathers, popping away at
us with hint-lock muskets and brandishing
spears and knives, while the occasional sharp
crack of O rife showed that they were still in
possession of their Sniders and few cartridges

From the wilkes barre Leader
Yesterday afternoon, while Leader reporte

was attracted to little boy who was leaning

the blue toes were plainly discernible. Alares

he got warmed up, and then interviewed him.
II was the same old story Of Q drunken father

from seven TO twelve, for support, the same

News for Smokers.

From the New York Sun.
A portly man Of middle age complained
loudly when he was cautioned by the cigar
dealer to light his cigar well or he would spoil
ii.
''That's all nonsense" he said. eff you Let
your cigar 60 out and then lay it aside for q
short time you will find that the flavor is vastly
improved when you relight it. If you don't
believe it just try it and you viii never make
the mistake again Of selling man poor cigar
and then advising him to light it well" The
writer tried this scheme and discovered that
the portiy man was right. He noticed that
what is vulgarly called a ''snipe" always smokes
better and has purer taste of tobacco than q
new cigar.
