4 BICYCLE RAILROAD.

Something entirely unique in tho
construction Of railroads is about to be
put into practical operation between
two New Jersey towns. The motive
power cost nothing: there are no en-
gincg, tiremen, brakemen or conduc-
tors to,be employed, and every pas
senaer rune his own train to suit HIM
self The new system is a bicycle
railroad. It is to run from Mount
Holly to Sn,ithyilIe, in Il direct line
over fields, roads and creeks, dis
tance Of two miles. It is to be COM
pleted in about two months, and when
completed will look just like fence
with an inverted bicycle running on
top Of it. Each passenger has the eS-
elusive use Of one of these bicycles
for a trip and can vhiz along the rail
at the rate OF q mile in two minutes.
The run from one town to the other
may easily be made il five minutes.
This railroad requires for its use q
special form of bicycle, although the
ordinary saddle, hand!e-bar and pro-
pelllng mechanism are employed.
An important feature of the system is
that The bicycles can not jump the
track and that anyone can ride them
without previous experience or skill
Ct the art The track being elevated
is adopted to use at all seasons Of the
year. The machines will be provided
with head and rear lights for night
use.-I3mes- Democrat.

HEROISM IND JUDO MENT.

The conduct of Engineer Burns in driving
an express train through railway wreck al
lightning speed cannot be too highly eXtolled'
II WAS n most remarkable exhibition OF fidelity,
self possession heroism and sound judgment.
Coming suddenly in sight of the wreck across
tho track his mind operated with extraordinary
ouckncss. The horrors of the situation were
annreciatcd at glance. The first and natural
imDuse with nincty-nne engineers out OF
hundred would have been to reverse the en-
cine and set the arbrakes in motion. If Burns
had done this and terrible accident had fol-
loved his conduct would not have been sub
oct to criticism, even if he had jumped from
the engine before the wreck was struck. lie
uould have had the credit of doing everything
in his power to stop the train and would have
ESCAPED censure Burns did not follow the
ordinary impulse OF the moment. His mind,
working with the force Of intuition, disclosed
the futiity of attempting to stop the train at
so short distance from the wreck. There
WAS only one chance OF saving the train, and
that Law in going ahead at tremendous speed.
He took the chance. He pulled the throttle
wide open, and by the force and momentum
of the onset the engine and train cut through
y wrecked car loaded with noises and all was
well.
Such incidents as this do not occur frequent
" and deserve to be critically studied. 1t was
:, d,splly of herOism and something more.
IIcroi,m alone would not have saved the lives
Of the passengers by the Chicago Limited.
Rurns would have been hero if he had taken
the usual precautions, reversed his engine, and
nerjshed with other victims Of an inevitable
+, disaster. 1t was to the combination of unerr-
ING Judgment and herOism that the passengers
owed their lives. There was only one chance
If preventing an accident and carrying the
train through the wreck in safety. That chance
Wa aiken but Burns in that terrible moment
mist have known that if his train were to be
wreckcd appearances would be against him.
Instead of attempting to stop the train he was
doubling the speed and possibly more. If the
accident which he succeeded in aveiting had
incurred. and the roadbed had been Uttered
with dying and wounded Passengers, he would
have been condemned ~ a reckless fool II
was very easy for the rescued passengers to
raise a purse for Burns when success had
crowned his intrepid courage and sound judg-
ment , but If he had failed, and the worst had
haupcned. they would have been unsparing in

THE COMMUNICATIONS ACT.

Now that all the nominations for offices to
be filled at the approaching election have been
made it is in order to remind candidates that
in addition to the Ballot Reform law and the
law requiring registration throughout the State,
another act was passed by the last Legislature
which has a particular interest and importance
for them This is known as the Corrupt Prac
ticcs law The significant portion of the sec
ton which specially concerns candidates for
office is as follows:
Every candidate who is voted for at any public cleo
ton held within this state shall within len days after
such election file as hereinafter provided itcmzed
statement showing in detail all the moneys contributed
or expended by him, directly indirectly by himself
or through any other person. IN aid OF his election
such statement shall give the names Of the varions
persons who received such moneys the specific nature
OF each item and the purpose for which it WAS ex-
pended or contributed. There shall be atachel such
statement an affidavit subscribed and sworn to by such
candidate setting forth IN substance that the statement
thus made Is in all respects true, and that the same
full and detailed statement Of all moneys contributed
or expended by him. directly or Indirectly, by hniseil
or through any other person In aid of his election.
The remainder of the section tells where the
statements shall be tiled-whethcr with the Sec
rotary of State, City Clerks or County Clerks.
The penalty for refusing or neglecting to file
a statement Is imprisonment 1Or not less IMAM
three months nor more than one year, and in
addition the offender shall forfeit his office.
This law introduces a new and wholesome
element into our political life, and while it Is
Inadequate in that it does not call for full
statements of receipts and expenditures on the
part of political committees, there can be no
doubt that its effect will be good. The new
ness of the law may cause some OF the men who
are running for office to overlook it, but we
warn them that ignorance of the law is no en-
cuse for not complying with it. Every can
didate must be prepared to file such detailed
statement as is called for on or before the 18th
of November. AT the next session OF the
Legislature there is reason to believe that the
law will be 80 amended as to apply to political
committees as well as individual candidates.
1t will then be much more useful in preventing
the use of money for improper purposes.

BROOKLYN IN CONGRESS AND ASSEMBLY.

BROOKLYN IN CONGRESS- And ASSEMBLY.
Of the four Congressional districts in Brook
yn one, the lid, has an assured Republican
majority, and the Republican who is fortunate
enough to secure the nomination there can
count with certainty on an election. William
G. Wallace was elected in this district two
years ago by plurality Of 2,s71. The en-
cellent record which b made during the first
session of the List Congress and the ease with
which he secured Q denomination entitle him
to tho cordial support Of all Republicans in the
district, and he may reasonably look for con-
siderably larger plurality this year than he had
in 1888 lie has the same opponent, w. J.
Coombs, as in his first campaign, and as Mr..
Coombs is "revenue reformer" of the pro-
nounced Free-Trade type, the issue in the dis
trict is sharply drawn between Free Trade and
Protection At all events, the Hid District is
safe.
What is the outlook in the other three dis
tricts? The IVth is hopelesSly Democratic
the plurality for Clancy in 1888 was 6.927, and
there is no expectation of making any serious
inroads upon it. Under ordinary circumstances
the same would have to be said of the lid
District, which Mr.. Campbell has represented
for several terms, being reelected the last
time with 1912 votes to spare. The Democrats,
however. have nominated in David A. BCody
another Free Trader; a man who, moreover,
is personally unpopular among his neighbors,
and who possesses to an extraordinary degree
the itch for office. On the other hand the Re-
pubicans have put in nomination James
Gresham, who is an avowed and earnest Pro-
tectiOnist. Mr.. Gresham is Selfmade man,
an inventor who has achieved success, and
whose sympathies are with the workngmen of
whom there are many in the district. Ills con-
test is by no means hopeless one, in spite Of
the large normal Democratic majority in the
district. Earnest and hearty work in his be-
half will tell heavily on Election Day. In the
9TH District the Democrats are counting on
having another sure thing. But have they
Mr. Wagner, who has been renominated. did
absolutely nothing during his first term in Con-
gross to Justify the voters of the Eastern Dis
trict in sending him again to represent them in
Washington. His sole title to distinction is
that he is the youngest member Of the List
Congress. II Is true that hs was elected two
years age by plurality OF 2,144 F; but the as,
time A. NJ. Bliss ran in the district he es, aped
defeat by only AZ votes. The Republican
candidate in the district, John X. Smith, is AL
able and popular man, and he is making an
energetic canvass. Good judges arc confident
that he can win. 1t is certainly the duty of
every man in the district who docs not want
a dummy to represent it in Congress to work
against Wagner and to labor heartily for Smith.

but this attempt to fire the Democratic heart
brought little cheer to the Tammany bosses.

The attention of all voters in New-iork
and Brooklyn who have not yet registered Is
earnestly directed to the fact that only TWO
days remain-to-day and to-morrow-on "h'cn
this important duty can be performed unless
the unregistered voter registers before the
books are closed tomorrow night, he disfran-
chises himself. TIE TRIBUNE to-day again
prints the full list of the places Tor regls'ia-
ton in this city, and the boundaries OF the
election districts, so that no one VINO cohsul's
its columns can go astrsy. Don't put on regis
tering till Tomorrow when You can DO 1t to-
day. Unless you register you cannot vote
and every honest and intelligent citizen OF both
these cities should be prepared to 60 to the

With the right sort Of effort the Republicans
- Rrooklyu can send two, II not three, Repre-
ssrtatives to Congress this year.
Under fair allotment Of Assembly districts
considering how nearly evenly between the two
oroat parties the voting population Of the city
10 divided, the Republicans would be entitled
n Ave of the twelve Assemblymen elected in
Kings County. As it is, only two districts the
JXtb and XTth, are safely Republican. In
tboso districts excellent candidates have been
named in Messrs. Kisse and Asphalt, and there
ia no doubt of their election. The XIlth Dis
trict is close one. The Republicans carried
II year ago by less than 100 votes. BY reso-
Info effort they can hold the district this year.
Their candidate, William Watson, is in every
way vastly to be preferred to NJ. G. Earl, who
ia running on the Democratic side, and whose
lack of qualifications was conspicuously shown
when he served in the Assembly before. We
are also informed that there is fair chance
for Republican success in the lid District,
where the parties are divided by only 300 or
400 votes. The most should be made of every
such opportunity. 1t is highly important that
not a single Republican Assemblyman should
he lost in Kings County this year. II our party
friends can gain one, they may be sure OF the
thanks and gratitude of their fellow-Repub-
licans throughout the State.

ECCLES IND DISSOLUTION

The Gladstonian triumph in the by,electon
in Lancashire is as decisive as the victory in
Shading, which marked the first turn OF the
tide after the last general elections. Eccles is
q manufacturing district lying Immediately
outside the suburbs of Manchester, and has the
essential characteristics of Lancashire, that
great hive of English industry and population.
The remarkable increase of the Liberal vote
by which the Tory majority in the last election
has been wiped ont indicates unerringly the
progress which the Home Rule cause has made
in four years. The election follows NJ. Glad
stones challenge to the Government at Edin'
burgh to appeal to the people and find out
whether Coercion is sustained or repudated by
public opinion. If il were the first sign OF
revolt, as the election in Lincolnshire was,
special causes and local reasons for accounting
for 50 marked reaction might be assigned !;
but it is only the last of long series OF by
elections resulting in tbs main fsvorably for
the Home Rule cause. The trend Of these in
termedinto contests has been nnmistakable !;
vet tho Government does not move. MIR. Glad
stones challenge would have passed unheeded
without Eccles to emphasize it. Now that Eeclcs
has spoken decisively the general elections
are further oil than ever.
Americans are apt to lament the frequency
of Presidential and Congressional elections in
