THE ELECTRIC LINES.

The speed that's announced as prac-
ticable on the new electric lines be-
tween the Twin Cities contributes to the
impressions that is obtaining in in
curing circles that electricity may in
the early future supplant steam as the
motive force in the most rapid transit.
at least by land. if not on the water and
in the aerial routes. Prof. THURsToN,
one of the most familiar of the mechani-
cal scientists, expresses the opinion
that the limit of fast travel by steam is
not very far in advance of present eX-
perience. He does not believe that 200
miles an hour can be accomplished with
any machinery adapted to steam except
under very Improbable conditions.
Possibly 100 or more could be securely
made il the track had the requisite
solidlty and freedom from grades and
curves; but derailment and disaster are
altogether too frequent now, and the
roads cannot afford to add TO tile chances
of costly casualties. In Great Britain
the roadbeds are much freer from the
obstacles to fast time. Prof. THUHSToN
reaches these conclusions III regard to
the use of electricity:
The assumption seems fair that the loco
motive engine will have been superseded
when we double Our speed. and that we must
find ways to utilize the weights of the cars
themselves for adhesion, and to make each
carry its own motor. This evidently points
toeleetric traction, the only method as yet
discovered of keeping the horse in the stable
and yet OF making HIM do his work without
taxing us fo; his own carriage. l have very
little question that, where railways are car
rying large numbers of passengers on short
routes, as on our elevated systems of road
where, if ever we may reach enormously
high SpeedS-the electric moor, o. some ad-
vance even on that latest marvel of inven-
ton and engineering, must come into use.
Heat light and electricity will then conspire
i'll that coming revolution which shall COM
bine for US the speed OF the bird, the COM
forts of home. and the safety of the hermits
cell. And what must come will come.
As a local and present suggestion,
there is satisfaction in the assurance
that danger from derailment of the
electric cars is greatly reduced by the
magnetic force operating in the electric
current. When the cars drive over por-
lions of the inter-clty route at the rate
of mile in less than two minutes it
will be pleasant to know that the wheels
have such affinity for the rails that no
unpleasant separation is to be feared.

REPUDIArED SENATOR'S.

1t is to be regretted that state has
no power to recall its action when it has
named a senator and he has been adj
United to seat in the United States
senate. This state and New Hamp-
shire, for instance, have men commits
stoned as senators for the next four
years who do not represent the present
political sentiment OF their states. In
New Hampshire even leading Repub-
lican paper calls upon the coming legis-
lature to demand CHANDLER's resigna-
ton. He does not belong to class that
has any senSibilitY as to his position
not being approved by tine people. He
will not resign if every man in his state
should ask him to. This passage from
the paper that speaks for a good many
Republicans has interest as Repub-
lican concession of CHANDELIERS Florida
iniquity. 1t says he is
lone who has never from the day of his
birth to the present ever drawn an honest
breath, or ever cherished broad or a patriotic
thought; whose political career has done
more to discredit Repubiicanism and disgust
Republicans than that of any other man in
the party in this state: whose only reputa-
ton is t!at of a willy trickster; who to para
phrase SULLowAY, stole everything he could
get his hands on-my God, what hands he
had including the state of Florida for the

THE KING Wilt TRADE.

Most persons had about forgotten that
old King KALAKAUA, of Hawaii, was
still living. Since his last visit to this
country he has been so quiet, perhaps
saving wood or playing poker with
visitors, that the eye had wandered
from him. But he had merry time on
the last occasion. He was deadheaded
by the government. and lioaized by the
public. Kindly and sportiye individuals
INDUCED his passion for poker, and beat
himsout of all he had or could borrow.
His subjects, too, got up teapot revO-
luton in his absence, while his good
wife was trying to manage the kingdom.
But a real king is still bigger drawing
card in this country than any Indi an
ehieftain. Old Calico, as he is dubbed
by the irreyerent, was shipped over on
the free list in United States cruiser,
and received in California with a
display Of the government mill
tary and much burning of powder. 1t
is an object TO him now to put on the
royal toggery. He is. on dicker.
Things are not booming with HIM as
much as they were. His principaIity is
not as large as it would be if it bad more
room to expand. He has. perhaps, had
bad luck at his favorite game The
main crop of his kingdom is sugar.
That has had reciprocity. and, without
any duty, monopolized the trade. pretty
nearly in California. 1t has been
great deal for the producers there. but
the new tariff knocks out all the adj
vantage had over other outside folks,
and does not give them any part in the
two-cents-a-pound bounty to he paid the
home producers. A new decker with the
United STATES. then.is needed. Old Calico
wants more assets than the king
business affords. He will be willing to
sell OF annex his kingdom to the United
States. This would give his people
share of the sugar bonus. Perhaps he
has had wink from BLAINE, as the
government seems to be pleased at his
visit. The secretary of state has hereto
fore had an affinity for the people who
abandoned the missionary diet very
early in the century. Perhaps this is
the opportunity needed by the party in
power for the time. If the Sandwich
Islands can be annexed. they may afford
new states and senators. They can
more than duplicate in state features
some of those more recently Admitted,
but there must be guarantees that they
will vote the Republican ticket and send
Republican senators to reinforce the
wasting forces in the senate, or it will
not be worth while for the king to waste
much effort On deal.

THE APpoRTToNMEAT.

The revised apportionment bill intro
duced III the house this week by the
committee of which Mr.. DUNNEIL is
chairman is not likely to be opposed
on party lines. If any measure for this
purpose is passed this session, it will be
substantially the same as this. The
ratio under this bill will not be far from
1000, and the total membership 356,
an increase of "a. Any less number of
members would cause several of the
states to lose one membt +. and will be
opposed on that ground. so far as this
state is concerned, any ratio proposed
gives seven members, and there is no
prospect of obtaining more, although
the surplus will approximate 12.W0 for
each district. The apportionment of
the districts suggested by the GLOBE is
pronounced fair one. and in the main
seems to be acceptable to all parties.

THE PLACE FOR HER.

The verdict of the Chicago Jury that
sent MAMIE STARR to the penitentiary
for life seems severe, and yet it is be-
lieved the security of society demanded
it. and no sentimental disposition should
have Blaee. She entered the domestic
service of family, and had no shadow
of grievance with her employers: and
yet one of her first acts was to put rat
poison in their food, killing the man
and wife. and making the children
dangerously i'll. Her explanation was
too irrational for credence. Bad treat
ment by her husband had so discour-
aged her that she had determined TO
commit suicide. and to give it the an
pearance of an accident she wanted to
make the family sick from the same
cause. but overdid the thing and
killed some of them. Probably such
cOoi-blooded malevolence and alb
sence of personal advantage of
any rational sort may have been
evidence of mental unSOundpess.
but her valuation of life and the high
est prerogativeS of others makes her a
totally unfit person to be at large.
Other innocent persons might be the
victims of Ter experiments in pursuance
of vagary of her mind. That she had
mind with the better faculties ipact-
i've and the tendencies abnormaIIy per-
verse was no doubt true. Those who
have healthy mental conditions do not
commit crimes. The PoAIERoY boy had
an hereditary love for cruelty and blood.

CLARKsoN as A BOOMER.

CIARKSoN has gotten on the trail of
that presidential boom Gen. MILES was
reported to have had started in Califor-
MA last summer. 1t is not intimated as
to where it has reamed since, but it has
apparently been waiting for SITTING
BULL and his cratic fellows to give it
the opportunity. According to CLARK
SON. MILES is military BLAINE. 1t is
not apparent what that means. unless it
Is that he would not be SO absurd as to
follow the Sioux into their almost i'm
pregnable Businesses in the Bad Lands
and meet the fate of the MCKINLEY peo-
pie in their late adventure. There is no
occasion for any disparagemeut of the
general either as a soldier or a states
man, so far as his biography is recalled,
but tits not q iudicious assignment given
him by CLARKSON as in need of an In
dian war and extensive translation of
bad into good Indians in order to in
fiate his alleged presidential boom.
That view taken of his position will
ce apt to give o wrong construction to
his efforts in case hostilities should be
inaugurated and spectacular displays of
military skill are had. If the late whole
sale decapitator of Democratic post
masters is honestly for MILES as the
presidential candidate, he had better
have left the management of the III
blooded Indians by the general to first
start the popular feeling. So far as the
laurels in the Indian war have been
gathered up to date, BUFFALO BILL,
perhaps, has the largest bunch. He
might have had full hand if the presi-
dent had not ierked him back Just as he
was about to lasso old SITTING BULR.
Did Gen. MILES see the danger and in
spire the recall to keep a daring rival
from coming into the field? A Wild
West show would be about as good a
presidential generator as any Indian war
likely to be had with the Sioux.
