TOPICAL TALK.
The Electric Col. HAM DAVIDSON

The Electric Col. HAM DAVIDSON
is a man of wonderful
Motor. enterprise, OF else he
would never have
brought that Prosser locomotive all
the way up here from Chicago, just to
let the people of st. Paul see what the
Prosser locomotive couldn't do. The
colonel must also be man of great
faith, or he could never have hoped to-
win the submission of our people to the
use OF steam motive power on the
streets. Whenever and wherever we
make change in street transit we want
it not only to be an improvement on the
horse car, but we want it to be the best
system now available. The choice lies
between the cable system and some.
form of the electric motor. Both are
yet in an experimental stage. The st.
Paul cable system is a success now; but
what will it be ten years hence, when
our streets are as crowded as the Bow
cry or Park row in New York, is ques-
ton we have to consider. The applica-
ton of electricity as a motive power is
still in its infancy. There are reasons
to believe that the storage battery SyS-
TEN, which is now on trial. will be ulti-
mately so developed and improved as to
displace all other means of locomotion
on tracks. There is a great objection
to an electric motor which has to be
operated by the use of overhead wires
in the streets. Possibly the application
of the current by underground wires
would be just as successful, but that
has to be determined yet. If the cleo
trio motor can be operated by under
ground wires, then, so far as interfer-
ence with street surfaces is concerned,
it is no greater than that involved in
the laying and operating of cables.

who get into the habit

last winter, and they are just keeping it
up from force of habit. Business is
brisk here in the city, and it is brisk out
through the country. The crop pros
pect is good enough, and venture the
prediction that there will be more
money come into the Northwest this
fall from the marketing of the aggre-
gated crops than was realized last year
or the year before. And, what is more,
people abroad have confidence in the
Northwest. The Northern Pacific is
selling more farming land this year
than at any time. The country west of
US is filling up with settlers. In one
county in Montana we have sold over
$50 farms. If our people would realize
that they are prospecting, and be con-
tent with moderate prosperity, and
quit talking about dull times, we would
be all right

There Is no apology needed for dts

schools. 1t is the foremost question
Of the day, and an especially vital one
in Allegany county, where the r6U, ,OOc
annually received from the taxpayers
is practically wasted by Wrotchcd in
competency and mismauagcmcnt. This
will be abUndantly proven. think.
before this series Of papers Is com

The weak spot IN the Maryland pub
lie school system Is the method al ap-
pointing school commissioners. OF
course, it is grossly and stupidity uu-
constitutional, Nor the legislature eau

tons ON judgcs,) and Judge Alvey Is
entirely right in having nothing to do
with it, but still the method holds ON
aud bears continued harvest of evil
and only evil. This question oi con

ever. as | am reliably Informed. lu-
der the existing scheme rh" school
commissioners are absolutely IrrcSpuu-
sIblc, for they do not have to render
an account Of their stewardship to the
Judge who appoints them, the county
commissioners who are merely the
spout through which the thousands are
poured into their laps. or to the people
who pay the taxes. Such AN astouud
inc thing as an irresponsible school
board, spending thousands of dollars
and having the highest interests in
their custody, nameiy-the training OF
the young, is one Of the anomalies of
legislation. 1t is an outrage on the
people. who alone should have the say
as to who shall manage the education OF
their children. See the situations
Suppose manifeStly dull and lazy

functions somewhat this week and

pondcntS.
The variation is a good one. albeit
all of of us are in the line of public
+ improvement.
In the one letter we have an cXcOri-
alton of school authorities that would
be laughable if the subject were one
of less serious import.
In the other we have pot-po"JTj of
critical remarks ancnt current freaks
The former paper is the initial one
of series which will be exhaustive of
the subject.
And our Barton correspondent
might know something of value to the
public concerning the method of com
piling the jury list and of grinding
out three times forty-cight names Il
year. We allude to this matter Just
now because we are reminded of it by
quiet though popular discussion of
how, why. and by whom so many citi-
zcnS, good and true, are apparently
forever debarred the opportunity to
become occasional. if not professional
jurors.
THE qVondom correspondent of the
Cumberland Ncr~ will undoubtedly
veto the following extract from the
grand jury report:
We would also report that we did not take
any proceedings, under the act of ISSS, chap
ter 10 relating To- praCtiOnerS of medicine

neglect ON their part but rs it was a general

being called To- it at once.
The grammatical construction of
the quotation is very bad, but the qui-
ct, Stcalthy impeachment of the prac-
ticc of not publishing the general
laws in the county papers will be ta-

The public school system of Maryland is
moving toward greater practical utility. Not

ed by no friendly motive, the average com
mon school does better work in the grades

that exists in this country. 1t cquip~ pupils

value of the system as now conducted

in an enlightened system of free schools
maintained by the public and for the benefit
of all. They must be absolutely free from

Without contcnding that thrr"
