ELECTRICITY AND CABLES.

A very interesting and timely interview
on the relative adaptability of the electric
and cable motors appears elsewhere from Mr..
Rice, the engineer of the Citizens and Cen
trail Traction roads. The difference between
the two methods is stated there tersely and
clearly.
Onthe one hand the capabilities of the cable
roads, their regularity of performance and
the certainty with which they do their work
is clearly known and demonstrated quan-
tity. 1t requires large investment to start
one, but when started it requires practically
no more power to transport 1900 people in
an hour than to transport 500.
On the other hand, the possibilities of the
electric roads are large but indefinite. There
is less expense in the investment, more elas-
ticity in the running of cars. but more doubt
as TO the cost and success of operation. Mr..
Rice correctly says that the storage battery,
if made successful, will be the ideal motor;
but its successful use on the high grades of
Pittsburg streets is as yet matter of e1-
treme doubt.
The cable roads have been demonstrated
to be an immense success in Pittsburg. The
practical and full trial of the electric roads
is about to be made. If electric roads can
do as much for the city as the cable roads
have done, they will command an immense
success.

MRS. poTTER's DISAPPOINTMENT.

For the present the American stage must
elevate itself if it can; Mrs. James Brown
Potter declines to come to its assistance.
She has left the English stage also to its
own devices, and has sailed for Australia
presumably with a view to raising the wind
on the stage there, rather than the stage
itself 1t is observable that Mrs. Potter is
in disagreeable frame Of mind. This is
the natural result of her way of life.
She stepped upon the boards here
proclaiming her intention to elevate the
stage. Artistically, morally and socially she
announced the stage would have to move
upward at her impulse. She miscalculated
her strength. As an artist she proved a
rather interesting failure, sensational fzzle
prolonged till it became agony. Her social
prestige died at the stage door, and with re-
gard to the moral aspect of the case it is
charitable to be silent. The stage has not
benefited by Mrs. Potter's patronage. 1t is
pitiful to remark that Mrs. Potter has GER
tainly reaped nothing good of her career as
an actress.
The history of Mrs. james Brown Potter
should be warning to women whose dover
of beauty and high social station tempt
them to seek for greater praise and fame
than their circle of society supplies. The
stage is only too likely to be the tomb of the
society beauty. 1t is unfair, also, that the
public should be invited to witness the
funeral. 1t is dismal; it elevstes nothing
and nobody. and it is no longer profitable.
We extend our sympathies to the Austral-
ians in their impending affliction.

leck seventy-seven, while Whittier is living
at the age of nearly eighty-two.
Tennvson is still writing at eighty, and
Browning has but just left us after a life
vigorous until its end came at seventy
seven. Dr. Holmes a poet himself whose
Tyre is still in excellent tune, fourishes like
green bay tree at eighty. Verify the
prosaie side of life seems more deadly than
the poetic. And yet so often we hear the
poet grumbling about his hard fate. A
young lion of the magazines has been lifting
up his voice in great distress lately, beg
ging us to see what beggarly showing the
proceeds of his poetry made upon his ledger.
As we do not know his name we cannot
judge whether six dollars a week, the size of
of his income, were his deserts. Most of our
magazine poets would be overpaid with
such a stipend. If they are not poets they
should take to pork-packing, digging
bitches or some other congenial pursuit; but
if they are poets they have the satisfaction
of knowing that long life is assured to them
and in the end more than six dollars week
will be their reward. Longfellow it may be
remembered left an estate worth over one
third of million.

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE.

ROBERT W. PEATTIE, managing editor of
the Omaha WorId-HerGId, is dangerously i'll of
Ia grippe.
FRANK HATToN is a typical American. He
commenced life as a newsboy, and was Post
master General under the administration of
President Arthur. He has been everything on
a newspaper, from newsboy to editor, and
would rather be the editor of a live newspaper
than President of the United States.
A. R. SPoFFoRD, the librarian of Congress,
has the face of Slav, but the brains of an
American. His knowledge of books is phenom-
email; what he does not know about books is not
worth knowing. But he is no mere bookworm;
he enjoys the social life of Washington, and is
fond Of attending the literary reunions there.
LOUISE M ALCoTT received s5 for her first
story, which was written when she was l6. She
lived to receive s. 900 for one story, She worked
long and hard before she made much money.
In 1864, after Il years Of literary labor, she
made only S476 Miss AlcoIt was a devoted
sister and daughter, but never knew the joy or
sorrow of love.
DAVID D. LLOYD, author of For Congress-"
1.-THE Dominie's Daughter" ''The Senator"
and other successful plays, was once the private
secretary of Chief Justice Chase. 1t is rather
singular fact, showing how small the world
Didier and David D. Lloyd, all former secreta-
rIes of Chief Justice Chase, should RESIDE not
long since, in the little town of Bellevile N. ].
WILLIAM MORRIS, the Socialist poet, is 56
years old, of medium height, with broad shoul-
ders, crowned by a fine head. His eyes are
large, dark and penetrating. He is man Of
undoubted honesty of purpose, and with
strong personality. Beside being a poet, he is
also scientist, an essayist, an antiquarian,
lecturer merchant, manufacturer, a work
man, the editor of the ConmonDedG, and, in
fact. one of the busiest men in London. He
reserves Saturday and Sunday for writing
poetry.
IT is remarkable with what rapidity certain
names become household words, and are known
all over the world. As a case in point, there is
Major Serpa Pinto, who has suddenly become
prominent in connection with African affairs
and the complications into which Portugal has
become involved with England. He was born
in Douro. Portugal. in April, 1876. and was edu-
Gated at the Military College. Lisbon. He
joined the Portuguese army in 1853 rose pretty
rapidly, and became an aid de camp to the
King in 1880. He was in the Zambesi war in
1852 commanding the African native troop.
During 1S77-79 he crossed Africa from Benguella
to Durham.

ENFORCEMENT. NOT LAW. NEEDED

Governor Lowery, of Mississippi, is ex-
hibiting a very common tendency Just now
in calling upon the Legislature for more
stringent laws against prize-fghting. Yet
no one more than the Governor is in a
position to perceive that so long as a
State will not enforce the laws which 1t al
ready has, it is useless to pass new ones. It
is possible to go through the motions of en-
forcing a law without actually doing it.
When a Judge sentences a criminal and
then di misses him to practice his illegal acts
in other States, or when a contractor of State
labor gives out that if the men have to serve
out their sentences he will see that they
have a good time, the example of hauling
the prize fighters back to Mississippi does
not exercise much of deterring influence
on that ofense.
If Governor Lowery wants to stop
prize fighting in Mississippi he can do so by
seeing that the present law is enforced. Let
him see that the sentences of the courts are
carried out in earnest, and when those who
have charge of State prisoners announce
that they will practically nullify the pen
atty of the law, let him see to it that
such persons, however influential, shall
have severe lesson as well. If he does
that, prize fighters will steer clear of Missis-
less because it is not enforced, the passage
of further dead-letter legislation is little
better than idiocy.

SELLING MoNoPoLIEs,

In accordance with what appears to be the
accepted theory at Washington, that it is
necessary for the Government to grant a
monopoly for the Alaska seal fisheries, the
course OF Secretary Window in putting that
privilege up to the highest bidder is the
only one that could honestly be taken. But
it is not, as some people appear to consider,
an advance in administration to 60 back to
the feudal system of selling Government
monopolies. The sale of just such privi-
leges was considered one of the legitimate
methods of government under the Tudors
and Bourbons, and their results were among
the causes which LED to both the English
and French revolutions. Even if there were
no other way of preserving the seals, it is
question whether the revenue from seal
skins is sufficient recompense for reversion
to the idea of getting revenues from monop-
olies. But as the seals could be preserved
by establishing a close season covering the
greater part of the year, with payments for
licenses to take seals during the open
season, the resort to the sale of a monopoly
cannot be regarded as progress, but is rather
. retrograde movement.

THE DEATH BY EXPLOSION.

The explosion of the boiler OF steam
shovel on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie road,
at Fallston, yesterday, Z, added itself to the list
of fatalities from that cause which is al
ready beyond the limits of computation.
The details of the explosion, so far as re-
ceived, do not permit any decisive opinion
as to the responsibility attaching to it. But
the reflection which forces itself upon the
mind, in connection with all such events, is
that at this day of the world, the science OF
steam engineering should be able to conduct
operations, so as to be wholly beyond the pos
sibility of explosions. While immediate
neglect or culpability may not be apparent,
somewhere or other, either in the making,
managing or handling of that boiler, there
must have been fault
1t is to the prevention of all such fatali-
ties as are preventable, that society should
address itself. The prosecution of industry
ought not to require the sacrifice of human
life that is now made to it.

POINTS In STATE POLITICS.

BELLEFoNTE NesO8: The people of Penn.
sylvan1a desire good executive leader for the
next four years and General Hastings is Just
the man to choose.
PHILADELPHIA Record 1t is said that Sen.
ator Quay has a favorite candidate for Con-
gress in the Fourth district in place of Judge
Kelley. But Senator Quay resides in Beaver
county. The people of the Fourth district are
capable of selecting their own member of Con-
gress.
LANCASTER IrateIlioencer: Quay has found
another chance to taunt Congressman Dalzell.
Both have candidates for the census offices Of
ding with the appointment of janitors, tax
collectors, etc.. will soon find the bottom of his
cup covered with dregs more bitter than gall.
PHILADELPHIA Inquirer: General Hast
ings has been invited to fox hunt in Delaware
county on January 80. There is great deal of
political instruction to be gotten out of fox
hunt, and the occasion will confirm General
Hastings in his habit of not trying to run with
the fox and ride with the hounds at the same
time.
OIL CITY Btiszurd: The truth of the mat
ter probably is that Mr.. Quay will not use his
position to advance the interests of any par
ticular candidate for the nomination. at the ex-
pense of another but the man who secures the
NOMINATION., WuOcNoI u0 may Dc, Will receive

dates for Lieutenant Governor that Senator
Quay has him quietly slated for the position.
Well, Quay Is a man big political possibili-
ties, but he isn't equal to the task of nominating
more than one man for each Of the State offices
to be filed.
JoHNsTowN Tribune: At this stage Of the
game the contest seems TO be between Della
mater and Hastings. with Delamater in the
lead. They are both young men, compare
lively, and pleasant, agreeable, able gentlemen.
Delamater, however, Is in the lead one reason
being that Hastings belongs to the same county
and town as General Beaver. the present in
cumbent; is his partner in private business. and
is his Adjutant General officially. 1t is hardly
probable that the rest of the State viii take
kindly to giving that locality two Governors in
succession: there is every probability that it
will be considered the part of wisdom for Gen
eral Hastings to reconsider his present inten-
tion to be candidate for the nomination, and
hide his time for great honor which is sure to
come in the near future.

Mr.. c. P. HUNTINGTON expresses great
satisfaction at the election Of Calvin s. Brice
to the United States Senate. Mr.. Huntington is
supposed to be Republican, but his broad views
are not hedged in by partisan lines, as has been
shown by his investment of $4,000 in an al
legged Democratic organ, and less sums in GER
tain professed Democratic statesmen, as set
forth in the Huntington-Colton epistles. No
doubt Mr.. Huntington thinks that his plea for
free gift of the Central Pacific debt to him
self and partners will strike an answering
chord in the breast of Senator Brice. The
readiness of the corporation magnates to dis
card party lines where their own interests are
concerned may suggest to the people the pro-
priety of doing the same thing on their own be-
half.

If all men could come to the age OF

yer Wendell Holmes is grand example of
a man with young heart in an old BODY.
The tissues may be triturated, the joints less
flexible, and the circulation of the blood
may be more languid, but Dr. Holmes mind
swings along at the old gait that carried
him out OF the ruck of writers as long ago
as 1858. Such mental virility in the even
ing Of life is not unprecedented, but it is un-
usual. As we find it in him, and in such
an all-around leader as Mr.. Gladstone, this
survival Of the mental powers is most re-
markable.
DR.. Holmes writing of this very subject
in the Atlantic Monthly-and most graceful
is all his gossip "Over the Teacups'-gives
some statistics which show that the popular
impression that poets are not a long-lived
race is hardly sustained by facts. From
these statistics. it appears that twenty

the son who was always nearest to him in
official and political life. Mr.. Walker
Blaine's public reputation was of course
only reflection of that of his father. The
public knowledge of him was that he was
an estimable young man, full of industry
and ability, and devoted to the interests of
his father. Every one will join in regret
ting the sudden termination of career
marked by promising and commendable
