ACCORDING to the Oregonian the
late jeff Davis was not traitor, but
a harmless man made the tool Of his
superiors in the South. Its columns
of editorials concerning the traitor
might almost be called a eulogy OF
Davis personality. The San Fran
cisco Star, on the other hand, sums
the whole thing up In the following
small paragraph: "Jeff Davis, af-
ter long illness, died at his home in
Mississippi, Dec. 4th, apparently of
old age. He possessed good intel
lectual abilities, and much greater
share of imperiousness and OBJ
stinacy. Not one single word need
be said of his life and treason"

NEW YORK LETTER.
Broadway Blocked-the Crumbling
Obelisk Electric Street Cars.

Broadway BlOcked-the Crumbilng
Obelisk Electric Street Cars.
Correspondence of the Capital Journal. ]
New YORK Dec. 6, 1889.
For the past week and more Broad
way has been blocked for hours at a
time, owing to the work on the elec-
trio subways in which are to be
buried the electric light and tele-
graph wires as soon as possible.
The trench is being dug by private
concern under the authority of the
Board of Electric Control, and the
work, which is proceeding very
slowly, is causing no end of annoy
,nce to pedestrians, wagons, etc.
These blockades on Broadway and
the side streets down town are
phenomena which are perhaps pecu-
liar to New York City alone.
They occur very frequently dur
ing certain seasons of the year and
are generally an excellent Indication
that business is good. Except in
such cases as the present, where
there is an outside disturbing cause,
they usually occur on fridays. This
is explained by the fact the heaviest
retail business is done on Saturdays,
wb lie tue wholesale business, which
requ; es the most trucking, Is
heaviest on the day previous in an
ticipi.iou.
40 REPAIR TBE OBELisK.
The Obelisk, or Cleopatra's Needle,
in Genital Park, is again In need of
repairs. Prof. Newberry was be-
fore the Park Commissioners last
week and explained the necessity
for further efforts to preserve the
Egyptian stone fiom the effects of
the climate.
The paraffine coating put on some
years ago is not sufficiently effective
to keep the stone from disintergrat-
ing. The Park Board passed reso-
luton providing that committee
consisting of Prof. r. OgdenDoremus,
Prof. Newberry, Prof. Henry Nor
ton and Prof. A. H. Gallatin, be re-
quested to make an examination of
the Obelisk and report as soon as
practicable, as to its condition, with
reference particularly as to its
preservation.
ELECTRICITY VS.. HORSES.
1t may not be generally known to
people living outside of the metropO-
lis but 1t ia true that electric street
cars are coming into use here very
rapidly. The most prominent conf
pany In this matter at present is
the Fourth Avenue, which is oper-
ating nearly One-half of its cars by
electricity. There are other big
companies which are at work
perfecting systems of electric trac-
ton but they are feeling their way
cautiously. Experts claim that
within five years all the street cars
in the city will be run by electric
storage batteries, except where the
the grade is too steep. Where the
grade is more than fourteen feet to
the hundred cable or an overhead
wire will be more sci viceable. The
horse as a motor for street cars Is
certainly to be soon retired, and
electricity will very probably be his
successor.
