BANKRUPTCY IN SIGHT.

While it is true, as stated by Mr.. Edison
in note printed recently, that an enforced
reduction in voltage would not compel the
companies to adopt his system. still it is
also true that such change would involve
expenditures so enormous that the solvency
of all the electric lighting companies in
town would be threatened. 1t would
mean new dynamos, new wires, and
new apparatus. 1t would mean,
probably, the establishment Of new distrib-
uting stations, and an increase in operating
expenses perhaps tenfold.
The best practical demonstration of the
difference between the high and low tension
currents is to be had from two or three re-
cent incidents in operating the Daft electric
power wires. Albert Gray, the manager OF
the Daft Company's lines and plant, said
to-day:
AN EXPERTS BELIEF!
"I do not believe in limiting the intensity
of currents by law to low voltage; neither
do believe in putting the high tension
wires under ground. When you do this,
the danger will be increased instead of de-
creased. To compel the companies to adopt
low tension currents would almost bankrupt
them. I believe we shall soon have some
system of insulation that is adequate and
safe. Experts are experimenting all the
time, and I'm sure they will give us the
right thing before long. There are several
forms Of insulation already in use that are
perfect when first put on; but they do not
long Withstand exposure to the weather.
There is no safety in an underground high
tension wire. The moment the insulation at
any point becomes defective, the current will
escape first to the subway lining and then to
a gas pipe or water pipe or subway manhole
cover, and the most deadly and insidious
perils would meet us at every hand. People
would be struck dead while lighting the
gas or turning q water faucet in their
homeso -

Constitutional Amendments.

Some amendments to the constitution
of Ohio are to be voted upon next fall
The Plain Dealer has printed them and
has commented upon them heretofore
One, If adopted will abolish the spring
election and give us all election every
fall--fOr state and county officers one
year and for municipal officers the next
alternating In that way. Some curious
complications would ensue in the be-
ginning but after terms are adjusted the
result would be escape from semi-annu-
al political excitement.
Another amendment provides for
electing members of the legislature by
districts. If the distributing could be
done fairly the system would be more
in consonance with democratic institu-
tions than the present practice of send
ing, for instance, two senators and six
representatives from Cuyhoga county,
all elected on one ticket and the party
which has the majority in the entire
county no matter how small, obtaining
the whole delegation. Under the pro.
posed plan, with proper boundaries
drawn, the delegation would be about
equally divided between the two lead
ing parties. Ii ~ ~
But the most important of the amend
ments, because 1t affects every dollars
worth of property In the state, Is that
one which, proposes to revoiutioDize the
mo'lA Of tawatinn; tod away with tax

ing To their value In money and 10 sub
stitute what? The vagaries Of each sue
ceeding general assembly. The people
are TO determine by ballot whether they
will abolish a scheme Of taxation which
Is far from perfect aud trust to get some
thing better. The amendment offered to
be voted on is not an honest one and
was not conceived in honest motives.
Specious arguments will be employed
to win votes for it but the real objects
will be kept concealed. The republic
can campaign motto, "high taxation of
saloons" betrays one object. The tax
alton of franchise Is another. IL Fora
ker's legislature had been square, 1t
would have submitted amendments so
framed that the people could vote di-
rectly on the taxation of the liquor traf
fic and of franchises. There was no oc-
casion for dodging the issue. But in
trying to get at those objects without
letting anybody know it, the amend
ment was so framed that the entire
property of the state would be AZ the
mercy of the Ohio legislature. The rec
ord ofpast general assemblies is by no
means guarantee against corruption
and robbery under the guise of taxation.
There would be no limit to the powers
of the legislature to tax, and Ohio's fl
nancial and property interests might
speedily be plunged into chaos.

The liquor traffic ought to be take

A The liquor traffic ought to be taxed
under judicious license system but
not until the State constitution is
amended so as to authorize it. The
Plain Dealer does not believe in cheat
ing the people by passing laws to do in
an underhand and roundabout way
Qike the Scott and Dow laws) what the
people through their ballots have dis
tinctly said shall not be done. Fran
chises ought to be taxed. They might
and should bear large, very large
share of the burdens of the State. They
are grants of the use Of public property
to individuals or col porations for pur-
poses of profit and the public has clear
right to share in the profit. But it
would have been easy enough to frame
an amendment adding franchises to the
constitutional list of taxable values
without goverturning the established,
the almost universal system and pro-
vidingno system in its stead, simply
opening wide the door for the legisla-
ture to tax how and what it pleases.-

MR.. SMART WAS DULL.

How q BucOlic Carpenter Paid TO See rhe
Pifrsburg Elephant.
The men whom Johnny Smart accuses of
robbing him are being arrested one by one.
A part Of Johnny's story has already been
told. ae is carpenter who has been in
town only three days. Whenhe arrived he
had S75. He has now much less. His right
name is not Smart. That was bestowed
upon him by the police sergeants, who
thought it appropriate. He refused to give
his right name. He was hauled up because
he had refused to pay Goettman for meals
which he had ordered for himself and two
tough looking companions. All three were
drunk, and were charged with disorderly
conduct.
Thursday morning Smart was fined and
his companions discharged. After the hear
ing he pleaded that he was drunk, but said
that while he was in that condition he had
been robbed by three companions of a
silver watch and $50. The police went
after those who had been with him. De-
tectives Robinson and Shore found Thomas
Heidman, whose home is at No. % Robin
son street, Allegheny, at the corner of Mar
ket and Fourth. He gave his business as
that of steamftter, but he was considered
suspicious, and Magistrate Gripp yesterday
morning sent him to the workhouse for 60
days.
Last night Detectives Robinson and Shore
found another one of the party, named
Walker, at the Farmers Hotel. He was
a ragged, vocationless man, whose chief pos
session was clay pipe. He was locked up
as suspicious person. Still another is to
be gathered in.

POSSIBILITIES AT AN END.

River Operators Give in and the Miners
Get the Advance.
The Monongahela river miners strike has
been brought to a close by the concession of
the operators to the men, and work will be
resumed In the majority of the mines on
Monday at the increased rates. The men
at Walton's No. mines in the second pool,
and at the Lucas mines in the first pool
have been notified to resume work at 8
cents on Monday, and the other operators
will of course, and as usual, follow the
lead shown by Joseph Walton 3 Co.
The reason for the sudden change on the
part of the operators is said to be the action
of the smaller operators, who were obliged,
by the exigencies of their business, to re-
commence mining, and take their chance
for a profit from the state of the market.
When one commenced others followed, until
the larger men came to the conclusion that
they might as well give in, and this they
have done with nc friendly feeling toward
their smaller brethren who drove them to
yield.
During the strike very large proportion
Of the miners found employment at pipe
laying and at the railroad mines, but are
expected to return to their old work next
week. The river is full of empty craft, and
the next run of coal is expected to be very
large one.
Meanwhile the lower markets are well
stocked and the market dull and inactive.

Thefr Sacks and Rags,

The MlIlers Of This State Propose to Make
Their Sacks and Bags.
The millers Of q considerable section of
this State; who have been meeting at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel. have formed an
organization which they have christened
''The Keystone Bag Company" the capital
stock Of which is S1O0, ,000.a They deny that
they have combined to fight the Paper Bag
Trust, which has headquarters in New
York, but all the same the operations of the
new company will necessarily be more or
less antagonistic to the combine.
The officers are: President, @. H. Horn
ing, Pittsburg; Secretary, F. R. MccIurg,
Pittsburg, Treasurer, B. f. Isenberg, Hunt
ingdon; Directors, A. B. Spanoele, Lewis
town; o. P. Shupe, Mt. Pleasant; James
Stanton, New Stanton; II. G. Best, Scott
dale; W. G. Richey. Irwin; Hon. H. G.
Fisher, Huntingdon; George NJ. CresWell,
Petersburg, and G. +. Horning, Pittsburg.
It was decided 70 erect the factory at
Irwin, Westmoreland county, and the OBJ
ject is to make -four sacks and bagging Of
all kinds. The citizens of Irwin have
donated ground and fuel, and the location is
considered as good as can be found, being
on the direct line of railways east and
west. The projectors expect to enlist most of
the millers Of the State In its support, and a
considerable number outside the State have
subscribed to the stock, and it is expected
that the factory win recommend itself to the
patronage of many who have not yet signi-
fed their adhesion.
While it is denied that the object of the
combination is to fight the trust, it will
doubtless take away all the business from
the latter that can be had.

4 Coal Miner Says That Publicity Killed the
Mine Syndicate scheme-CaptaIn Addi,
soa Lysls Dent Think So.
,Itis just a question whether the river
mine Eastern syndicate deal is of or not.
A gentleman yesterday expressed the view
that the newspapers had killed it By giving
its operations too much publicity, with the
effect Of soaring the operators.
Whether this is so or not, Colonel W. P.
Shinn was yesterday in conference with s.
L. Wood, Addison Lysle, Captain Bunton
and Captain James Faweett, and the con-
versation was reported to be of very in
terestlng tenor.
Mr.. Lysle was seen at his residence. in
Allegheny, last evening with reference to
the meeting, and said: "Messrs. Wood,
Buntou. Fawcett and myself met yesterday
afternoon for about ten minutes, but the
meeting was entirely informal, and we
merely spoke Of the deal. We decided
upon nothing, because the Eastern people
have until the 1st oil January to say yes or
no, and until that time we can only lay on
our oars. I do not take any stock in the
rumor that the publicity given to the deal
through the newspapers has frightened the
Eastern men"

the owners Of the Gospel and Walton
mines, Of that place. have notified their
men to 60 to work on Monday at the in
creased rate, and add that the strike is over.

JEANEETTE DISCUSSION.

A Statement From Hon. walter Lyon Upon
the Importatiou-Whyc Campbell wanted
Secrecy.
From the publication in TIE DISPATCH
yesterday of the conference held between
Messrs. j. A. Chambers, James Campbell
and others interested in the Jeannette inn
portation case and the Treasury officials at
Washington, the feeling gained ground
in labor circles yesterday that an effort was
being made by those most concerned to
quash the proceedings
District Attorney Walter Lyon when
seen in this connection said:
$50 far as / am concerned the case Is
in the same condition as 1t stood last week;
Ihave had no instructions to stop proceedings.
The action in the civil suit to enforce the
penalty Tor violation Of the contract labor
law bears no relation to what steps the
Treasury Department may see fit to take
with regard to sending the men back, should
the prosecution succeed in its case. The
matter may end at the civil suit or it may
not; that is question solely for the Treas
ury. The conference at Washington yester-
day may have been for the purpose of in
curing into the evidence with view 70
enabling the Department to make mp its
mind"
Messrs. John Ehman and Homer L. Nc
Cav were seen at the Office of the Glass Bud
get. Said the former in connection with
the case:
'It is q curious thing that Campbell
should try to exclude reporters from the con-
ference when he offered. to afford every
facility for a free and open investigation
into the matter last May. The offer, how
ever, was subsequently withdrawn, though
the council had agreed to the inyestiga-
tion."
Mr.. MeGaw said: "I was invited to be
present at the meeting at Washington but,
instead of going sent on some evidence in
the case. / believe the conference was
called to devise some means for killing the
whole case"
George L. Cake, Secretary of the Window
Glass Workers Association returned from
Washington yesterday. . Mr.. Cake said that
the reason Campbell wanted secrecy was
because he had to submit certain lodge pro-
eeedings which showed that the laws
of the Universal Federation Of Labor
did not conflict with the feder-
al or alien contract labor Law. This
was why he asked the reporters to withdraw.
He did not know whether the case would be
dropped. Secretary Window had given no
intimation. Mr.. Cake said that Mr.. Camp
bell would rather be convicted than give up
the secrets of the order.

THE M'GAW REINSTATEMENT.

The Assembly, By 16 Votes 20 o, surrenders
IT'S Chartsr-what Messrs. RIeGaw and
Ross Say Of the Action.
L. A. 719O, Warehousemen, Z. Of L.,
held meeting last night at the corner of
Wood and Fourth avenue. There were q
out of 125 members in the local present.
District Master Workman Ross attended.
While the Secretary was reading pro-
test of the committee against the expulsion
of McGaw from the order q member rose
and moved to rescind their action in rein
stating McGaw, but no second could be
found.
A motion was next made that the charter
be surrendered, and, on Mr.. Ross rising to
leave at this juncture, point of order was
raised on his doing so in the middle of the
proceedings. Mr.. Ross declared that he
could not sit in the assembly With an ex-
pelled member, and retired. The motion to
surrender the charter was then put, and
carried by l6 to against.
Mr.. Ross was seen after the meeting, and
said:
It has been ruled that no assembly can sur
render charter while there are ten members
willing to retain il. The whole proceedings
are altogether illegal. McGaw got into the
local by fraud and does not legally belong to it
He was transferred from L. A. 2l60 on 9 card
that was not signed by the local Master Work
man, and that constitutes an illegal transfer:
This fact alone would be sufficient to prevent
his claiming membership in the local, but
there are many others that could be men
toned
Mr.. McGaw, when seen, claimed that his
transfer from one local to the other was
legal, inasmueh as the Master Workman had
refused to act and he was then obliged to
have his card signed by the next in author
ity-the Worthy Foreman.
Mr.. McGaw said that when the secret
work had been taken from the door that a
motion to withdraw from the x. of L. was
put and carried. and thereupon the members
present formed themselves into new union
under the title Of the Warehousemen's
Union, No. /, with Samuel Nikirk as
president and James ]. Carroll; secretary,
and Fred. Stoerr, financial secretary. A
special meeting of the members Of L. A.
7190 will be held this evening at Z. Of l..
headquarters.
