Limit to Railway Speed

The increase both in the magnitude of the
trains and of the speed at which they are
conveyed has been so extraordinary that it
is natural to ask how far the present per-
formances of the most rapid express trains
main limit to speed of travel is the resist
ance of the atmosphere, which is three times
as much at sixty miles an hour as it is at
one-fourth Of that velocity. Hence it has
been considered, even by practical men, that
a heavy train, running very slowly, must
be more remunerative than train running
very fast, and, in point of fact, the power
that would draw a train of 211 tons at fifteen
miles an hour would draw only 70s tons
at sixty miles an hour. but this increase of
cost depends mainly on the increased
quantity of fuel necessary to raise the steam.
1t only applies, therefore, to comparatively
small proportion of the cost of railway work.
ing. Nearly two-thirds of the total working
cost incurred by the railway companies is
unaffected by the speed of the trains.
Other charges are inversely as speed that is
to say, are less per ton or per train, the less
time the train takes in its journey. Thus,
while fuel costs three times as much for
speed OF sixty as for one of fifteen miles an
hour, wages cost only One-fourth as much at
Tue more rapid as at Lne lower speed ana
the total cost is, in consequence, not so
directly dependent on speed as might have
been anticipated. Again, the carrying
power increases with the speed, but de-
creases, and that very rapidly, with the
difference in the speeds maintained by trains
running over the same road. Somewhere
about thirty miles an hour is, under the
present conditions regarding both capital
cost and annual expenditure the most
economical speed on the English railways as
rule. But now that we have taught the
public that we can carry them at from fifty
to sixty miles an hour, we cannot anticipate
that the ordinary passenger speed will be
allowed to fall off. AT the same time it must
be remembered that extraordinary speed,
however instructive any successful effort to
attain 1t may prove, is not SO much the true
object of the engineer as is the maintenance
of such steady rate of travel, applying with
but little variation to the entire traffic, as
will allow of the fullest development of the
carrying capacity of the railway. On lines
organized for none but rapid service the
net return on capital from traffic carried at
from fifty to sixty miles per hour would be
so much larger than any which could possibly
be gained from heterogeneous traffic that
nothing but the want of distinct accounts
can leave any room for hesitation on the
subject Edinburgh Review for July.

The petition to Secretary Blaine, in the interest
OF Mrs. Maybrick, to which so many influential
citizens of Portland affixed their names, was not
conceived or signed, as has been intimated, in ig
norance of the fact that the fate of their unfort
posal of the country in which the alleged crime
was committed and her trial and conviction had
The citizens of Portland, who signed that petit
ton for the reprieve of Mrs. Maybrick, possess at
least ordinary intelligence, and are not open to
charge or insinuatiOn that they did not know that
Mrs; Maybrck's case must be decided by the
British Government, in accordance with English
law, as interpreted by the authorities OF Great
Britain-Evening Express.
This defence of the citizens who signed
the petition for the reprieve of Mrs. May
brick, is entirely superfiuous. Nobody has
either charged or insinuated that they were
not people of ordinary intelligence or that
they did not know that Mrs. Maybrick's
case must be decided by the British Govern
ment. in accordance with English law, as
interpreted by the authorities of Great Brit
ain. But had these citizens entertained the
idea that the United States Government
could in some way interfere in behalf of
Mrs. Maybrick it would by no means convict
them of want of ordinary intelligence. AS
late as August Is, 1889, the Evening Express,
newspaper that would probably not plead
guilty to want of ordinary intelligence
published this editorial paragraph:
We hope that stay of proceedings will be
given and new trial granted. Tie woman
should not hang while there is any doubt as to
her guilt. The trial was not conaucted in accord
ance with the American notions of justice, the
prisoner not being allowed to testify IN her own
behalf; and were she on American soil today and
under sentence of death under precisely the same
circumstances, there is no question she would be
granted respite and new trial ordered. She
should receive equal opportunities for justice in
England, and our official representative should
see 10 1t that such is accorded her.
If the Express then believed as it now de-
clares that Mrs. Maybrick's case must be
decided by the British government in accord
ance with English law, as interpreted by the
authorities of Great Britain" and is "solely
at the disposal of the country in which the
alleged crime was committed" what did i
mean by calling on the American minister
"to see to it, that Mrs. Maybrick had oppor-
tunities Of justice equal to those which she
would have in America?

To casual observation there is something
very mysterious about the outbreaks on the
question of color In the South. At Atlanta
we have the spectacle of who.e city in arms
because an educated and competent negro
was appointed to place in the post office.
Yet the Augusta (Ga.) Progress, staunch
white mans paper, has this comment on a
similar state Of affairs in that city: "Post-
master Lewis, the new Republican postmas-
ter of Atlanta, is being roundly abused for
appointing colored man to the registry de-
partment of that office. One lady official and
her father, who held a prominent position in
the Office, have quit The Democratic post
master in Augusta has always had colored
man at the money order department, and no.
body has quit on that account. AL, Belcher.
the colored man in the Augusta office, is not
only thoroughly competent, but is obliging
and pleasant to all. Postmaster Boyce,
though Democrat, has not received any
abuse ON Belcher's account, and i've believe
that il the wish of the merchants were
consulted, it would be unanimous in favor of
Belcher's retention. This thing is too fool
ish. Labor is honorable, and every man
should have an equal showing. We were
born and reared In the South, and never
thought it disgrace to work side by side with
colored man, which we have often DONE"
The same condition exists In the Savannah
postofice. In Savannah, moreover there
Is said to be soda water establishment in
which there are said to be white
young lady and two colored young men be-
hind the same counter, serving the public,
and yet the proprietors are encouraged by a
large patronage from the most aristocratic
classes OF the city. "Negrophobia" as IT is
called acts very peculiarly as is evident
from these facts from the three Georgia cit.
les. The secret of it is, probably. thar the
virus OF this form of rabies is most active
when some Democratic politicians have an
axe to grind Then they excite and magnify
a prejudice that is not SO much instinct;va
among the Southerners reared among the
negroes as they have been, as Northerners
are led to suppose. The Democrats of Vir.
ginia alarmed lest Malone shall carry the
State have put into their platform spur for
the sentiment, and we may expect soon in
Virginia great and suddenly stimulate hor
ror of negro equality. There is good ground
for suspicion that there may be some such
motive behind the Atlanta episode, and that
the outburst there is full more of Demo-
cratic than white mans agitation.

While the present law son the subject
remains on the statute book the soil of Mis-
sissippi will never again be selected as the
battle ground for bruisers. The sentence of
John l.. Sullivan to years Imprisonment
settled that. Sullivan no doubt expected to
be let off with fine which would have been
no punishment at all, and that is why he
voluntarily surrendered himself TO the Mis-
sissippi authorities. Had he suspected that
the dose which he received was in store for
him every legal technicality would have be
resorted to to keep himself out of the Missis-
sippi court Unfortunately for Sullivan and
fortunately for lawabiding people he fell into
the hands of d firm aud resolute Judge who
could not be swayed from the path of duty
by petitions Sullivan's plea that he did not
know that prize fighting was against the
law was undoubtedly a lie for he could not
but have been aware of the pains that were
taken to keep the place of his meeting with
Kilrain secret and the efforts of the author
tiles of both Mississippi and Louisiana to pre-
vent the fight. Sullivan has procured bail
and undoubtedly will try to avoid the penalty
imposed by keeping out of the State. But
he is not going to find it easy to do that.
There is a stronger case for his extradition
now than there was before he was sentenced
and 1t is difficult to see If he jumps his bail
how any State can refuse to surrender him,
at the demand of the Governor of Mississip-
pi Our extradition treaties with foreign
countries probably do not cover his case,
so it may be possible for him to avoid i'm
prisonment by flight beyond the borders of
the United States. But If he remains in the
United States it is going to be very difficult
for him to avoid spending year in Miss
issippi Jail.

The arrest of Judge Field on a warrant
issued at the demand of California official
and on complaint of Sarah Althea Hill is a
very curious proceeding. There is not the
slightest pretence that Judge Field had any
thing to do with the shooting of Terry, ex-
cept that it was the slapping of his face by
the dead rufian which led Deputy Marshal
Maggie to shoot. Nagle's arrest was proper
enough, but for Judge Fields there is not
the slightest ground whatever. 1t may be
that Sarah Althea Hill who is quite as ready
in the use Of pistols and daggers as her hus-
band bulldozed some timid magistrate at the
point Of one or the other in to issuing the
warrant. Or it may be that the magistrate
didn't know any better. At any rate the ar
rest of the Judge was scandalous affair,
without warrant of either reason or Justice.

Tho Pope's Favorite Game.

The Pope has a weakness for chess. He ls very ftne player, and in the amateur ranks is said to have few superiors in the knowledge of gambits and openings. There is one priest in Rome who has the especial honor of being the Pope's adversary over the board. This priest-Father Giella-has played chess with Leo Pecci for thirty-two years past. When Cardinal Pecci was raised to the Papal throne Father Giella, who was then in Florence, got an invitation to proceed to Rom, and take up his quar- ters in the Vatican. Giella is hot-tempered, and has been known to look very black in- deed at the Vicar of Christ across his chess board. The Pope takes Giella's temper good and often improves the oc- casion by 8 little homily on the virtues of resignation and meekness.
