of American farms and American artisans. AS
they come here to do work which was not preyl-
ousJv done by operatives of this country, but in
foreign establishments exclusively, there results
no decrease whatever in the demand Tor Amer

other articles except those they produce must
be supplied by American industry, and thus inc
demand for such products and for American
labor is greatly increased
Every thousand hands thus transferred from
other countries to this soon demand and receive
the American rate of wages, which IS at least
double that paid abroad for the same work
Instead of spending 100000 year for the
support of families in the purchase OF Engllsh,
French or German products, these thousahu
workers spend 100000 year in the purchase
Of American products, and thus give additional
orn,ovment 10 nearly a thousand more Amerl-
cans in raising food for them, building houses
for them, and providing them with furniture

Street-Cleaning Commissioner Brennan is doing
the right thing in making a fight against the
nuisance that arises from the blockading of the
streets with building materials Builders have
certain rights in this matter, but they are won't

of the people. The work of the Street-Cleanlng
DEPARTMENT is, of course, much interfered with

is not purely vicarious. The public will get the
benefit all the same, provided that this, among
Mr. Brennans other good resolutions. falls not by

A further demonstration as to the Groundless
character of the recent war scares in Europe Is
afforded by the noteworthy fact that Emperor
William has just rescinded the stringent passport
regulations hitherto in force on the Franco-German
frontier Hitherto one has been permitted
to cross the boundary line from France into Ger
many unless provided with passport Vlsed by
the Imperial Embassy at Paris. This naturally
cntailed much bad feeling in France toward
Germany, and the repeal Of the obnoxious reg
ulation is an important and timely step toward q
better and more friendly understanding between
the two countries.

September always was a tickle, frivolous month
but october generally attends to business.

At last it has been definitely ascertained that
the new Criminal Courts Building IN Ceh're.st

not be completed within the prescribed time Iimit
of 500 days The contractors are subject to
penalty of 500 per day for each day that the
work remains uncompleted beyond that time.
The 500 days will expire in April Now the
question is whether or not the contractors will
be compelled to comply with the terms of the
contract In city affairs such things usually go
by default It will be salutary thing TO estab-
fish a new precedent in this case and show con-
tractors that the agreements they enter into with
the city are not mere matters Of form. by all
means, let the penalty of 500 day be exacted.

which Tammany Hall has increased or proposes
to increase public expenditure The estimates
for public parks, police, education, elections,

that some of them will not be put in until it is
TIC late for them to be subjected to criticism
in the present canvass.

The new library Of Cornell University, the
gift of Mr.. Henry w. Sage, a noble benefactor
of the Institution, was formally opened yes
terday. and coupled with it was the gift
by ex-President White of his collection of books,
which is to be known the President White
Library of History and Political Science. Tho
interest in the exercises at Ithaca was not lin
tied to the alumni and friends of Cornell. All
friends Of education must rejoice in the enlarged
equipment which this great university has thus
received. For them President Gilman, of Johns
Hopkins, appeared as spokesman, after graceful
and effective speeches had been made by Mr.
Sage, President Adams and Mr.. White.

Chicago's statue of General Grant was I'M
..eiled Yesterday Apparently the entire city
entered with the utmost heartiness into the
shirt of the occasion. There were parades on
both land and lake, and an immense crowd was
in attendance when the huge equestrian statue
was disclosed to view. The principal feature OF
the exercises was dignifed and eloquent ora
ton by Judge Walter Q. Gresham. This statue
is the tribute of the West to the virtues and
achievements of the great General. It's com
peion and dedication ought to stimulate in

striyen in vain for half dozen years to erect

Reports received. yesterday at the Repub-

tration throughout the State were OF an OK
ceedingly gratifying character. There are
numerous signs of a most healthy condition OF
Republican sentiment in all quarters II the
election were held at once there would be no
doubt as to the result. The essential thing now
is to maintain and increase the interest which
already exists. it is nearly month before the
election takes place. Let it be month OF
sturdy effort and victory will be assured

Buffalo was reached yesterday by the Re-
publican standard-bearers. and right royal
welcome they received. Our friends the enemy
sought just after the Republican Convention to
create the impression that the Republicans Of
Buffalo were lukewarm over the ticket NOM
mated at Rochester, and would at most enter
upon the campaign in half-hearted way. The
great meeting and parade last night gave the
lie 10 all these gloomy forebodings and showed
that the Republicans of Buffalo are as much in
earnest for Fassett and Vrooman as those Of
New-York, Brooklyn, Syracuse, Albany Lock
rort or any other city in which the candidates

Judge Barrett has ordered 4 verdict of -, 900
against The New-York, New-Haven and Hart
ford Railroad Company in the suit brought by
the Attorney General to collect penalties for the
company's violation Of the law forbiddnS the
use of stoves in passenger cars. The case has
ALREADY gone to the Court of Appeals but it is
understood that an application to the Federal
Sup.eme Court will now be made to test the
const tutonaity of the law. The State au-
thorities are doing no more than their duty in
pushing this matter to the utmost Public
opinion has pronounced emphatcally against the
ar-stoye, and the system Of steam heating has
proved 80 successful that its general adoption
can be only "a question of time.

were always parallel with each other.
This made II difficult to turn curves.
This was remedied by John Il. Jervis,
who constructed an engine with main
driving axle rigidly attached to the en-
CINE frame, and only one truck, or
"bearing carriage" consisting of two
pairs OF small wheels attached to frame
and fastened to the engine frame by a
king bolt
In 1894 Ross Winans, OF Baltimore,
patented the application of the principle
which Mr.. Allen had proposed and
adopted for locomotives "to passenger
and other cars" He afterward brought
roads FOR Infringement Of II IFS snip at patent
which was q subject OF legal controversy
for twenty years. Winans claimed that
his invention originated as far back as
1891, and was completed and reduced to
practice in 1884. The dispute was car
red TO the Supreme Court of the United
States and was decided against the
plan after an expenditure OF $780,
600. 1t involved the principle in which
nearly all cars In this country are now
and were then built.
In 1884 Henry r. Campbell, of Phila-
delphia, patented the use OF two pairs Of
driving wheels and truck. The driv-
ing wheels were coupled by rods The
principle has been generally adopted in
this country

LEVI P. MORTON IN STONE.

A Marble Bust of the Vice President 10
Adorn tho Senate Chamber.
The marble bust of Vice President
Levi p. Morton, by Il. Edwin Elwell.
of New York City, will shortly be
placed in one of the inches of the Sem
ate chamber. Mr.. Clark. the archi-
tect of the Capitol, intends to remove
one of the busts opposite the presiding
officers desk, and in its place will be
put the bust of Mr.. Morton.
1t is TO be regretted that so life-like
a representation of the Vice President
should be doomed to the obscure light
of the Senate chamber. 1t has been
suggested that the busts of the Vice
Presidents be placed at the foot of the
gallery, where they would have a
splendid top light. and show to good
advantage the character. of the men
who have occupied the prominent place
of Vice President of the United States,
and this change of position may posi-
bly, be made later on. The architec 81
of the Capitol has shown rare good
judgment in having the work made
from life. Too often important mat
ters of this kind are left until it is too
late accurately to portray the charac-

A passenger train OF the Mohawk and
Hudson Railroad which was put on In
October, 1891, between Albany and
Schenectady. attracted much attention.
1t was hauled by the English engine,
"John Bull" and driven by an English
engineer named John Hampson. This
is generally regarded as the first fully
equipped passenger train hauled by a
5team-power engine which ran In regular
service in this country. During 1882 IL
carried an average of 3s7 passengers
daily. TIE accompanying engraving

THE GPLANET. "

nings the magnificent equipment OF our
railroads has grown. From Peter Cooper's
locomotive, which weighed less than a
ton, with q boiler the size OF barrel,
and which had difficulty in beating a
gray horse, we now have locomotives
which will easily run sixty and can ex-
coed seventy miles an hours, and others
which weigh seventy-five tons and more.
A comparison OF the engine built by
Peter Cooper with the modern standard
express passenger locomotive shows the
progress which has been made in fifty
years There have been many modifica-
tions I'm the design OF locomotives to
adapt them to the changed conditions of
the various kinds of traffic of to-day. An
express train travelling at high rate of
speed requires locomotive very differ
ent from one which is designed for
hauling heavy freight trains up steep
mountain grades The engines at first
had four wheels, but now they have
eight and ten.
The early cars resemhled the stage
coaches of that day. The Mohawk and
Hudson Road i'm 1891 had six cars similar
TO that represented i'm the engraving.
The next step was to join these coaches
together and build cars with tompart-
ments. 1t was opened Sept. 27, 1925,
with goods train," as the freight train
is called in England, but this also car
rie1 a number of passengers.
The following notice, which appeared
in the Baltimore newspapers, was the
first time table for passenger railway
trains published in this country:
"RAILRoAD NOTICE.
"A sufficient number of cars being now
ready for the accommodation of passrn-
gers, notice is hereby given that the fol-
lowing arrangements for the arrival and
departure of carriages have been adopt

business more easily, the people are
building what is called railroad. This
consists OF iron bars laid ong tho
ground and made fast, so that carriages
with small wheels may run along upon
them with facility. In this way one
horse will be able TO draw as much Us
ten horses on common road. A part
of this rfs way is already done. and IL
you choose to take ride upon it you can
do So You will mount car something
like a stage and then you will be drawn
along by lead horses, at the rate of
twelve miles an hour"
The Baltimore and Ohio had fifteen
miles OF road I'm May. 1880. The ques-
ton OF locomotive power.was under con-
sideration for some time.
In 1929 and 1890, eter Cooper expert
mented with a little locomotive on this
road. At n meeting of the Master Me-
chanics' Association in New York I'm
1876 at the institute which bears his
name--he related with e eat glee how.
on the trial trip, no had beaten gray
horse attached to another car. The
boiler OF etcr CCope's locomotive was
about the size of -four barrel. The
fues were made Of gun barrels. The
whole machine was not larger than a

The dewitt Clinton" was built for
tho Mohawk and Hudson Railroad. and
was the third locomotive made by the
West Point Foundry Asst citation. The
first excursion trip was made with pas
sengers from Albany to Schenectady,
August o, 1891.
In 1891 the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany offered premium OF $4,000 ION
the most approved engine, which shall
be delivered for trial upon the road on
or before the LIST day OF June, 1881, and
$4,000 for the engine which shall be nd
