More Power for Manchester Cars.

The Pittsburg, Allegheny and Mancbes-
ter Company have found that the power
furnished by their electric plant will not be
sufficient to operate the road successfully,
and have decide to build an addition to the
power house and place two more engines
in this addition. This will almost
double the power. There are now 90 cars
in operation on the Rebecca street line and
the Western avenue line. When the Union
and the Troy Hill lines are started the full
complement will be so cars. The cars on
this line are very heavy, weighing about IL
tons, and very little speed is made on the
grades at the Allegheny end of the Sixth
street bridge and on Pennsylvania avenue

ton of Chosen Friends.
The Imperial Council of the Chosen
Friends held its second days session yes
terday at the Monongahela House. The
morning meeting was for the transaction of
secret business. Similar work occupied
most of the afternoon. 1t was decided to
levy an assessment of 81 each on every
member to defray the general expenses of
the convention and aid in opening up new
territory for the order. DR.. w. B. Beebe
suggested the Committee on Medical Ex-
aminations should consist of five persons
instead of three. The suggestion was favor
ably discussed and a committee appointed
to investigate.
1t was decided to hold the next annual
convention at New York City. Last even
ing banquet was given tot members
and their friends at Forbes Street Turner
Hall. AT to-day's session the Finance
Committee will present report.

Showers and Goodness Cause Another
Days Inconvenience.
The weather moderated slightly yester-
day, being so warmer than Tuesday. But
it was decidedly disagreeable day never
theless, as the rain came down almost con-
tinuously from morning till night. The
warmest point reached was $50, and
the coolest 40. Chief Bigelow
of the Department of Public Works was one
of the few people in the city who appeared
to enjoy the weather. '1t is good thing
for us, % said he. 'This rain will do more
toward cleaning the streets than we could
with all our sweepers and hose. 1t stops
paving, of course, but makes up for that the
other way"
The indications are that Yesterdays rain
will be repeated to-day, with little change
of temperature.

lection interposed by the parents. On Sun
day last young Titus made last appeal for
the hand of his loved one, and being re-

Tor its best effort on that day. We cannot
perfect suctl an organization as is necessary
in an ''off year" like the present when
there is always more or less difficulty in

WISDOM OF OUR FoREFArHERs.

The revised constitution of Brazil con-
tains provision which. especially from a
Latin-American point of view. promises to
effect much-needed reform. 1t provides
that the presidential term shall be four
years, and that the president is not eligi-
bic for n second consecutive term, nor shall
vice president acting as president be eli
gible for the ensuing term if he shall have
acted as president for two years.
But there is possibly weak point in the
provision that if in the popular election no
candidate shall receive a majority of all
the votes cast, then congress must imme-
diately assemble and order a new cleo
ton. and so on until clear majority of
the people shall have voted for some one
candidate, the incumbent meantime hold
ing on to the office until his successor shall
have been elected and qualified.
A sharp nolitician-such as David r.
Hill for instanee--with all of the gov
ermental and political machinery in his
hands, would ind little difficulty in max
ing these provisions invest him with a
strictly constitutional life tenure of the
office. Unless erankiness is incomparably
less prevalent in Brazil than in this coun-
try, it were a simple matter. in any cleo
ton, TO project a dozen or more indie
pendent movements, addressed 10 an equal
number of onc-ides side-issues, and thus
divide up the vote So that no candidate
could ever receive clear majority.
This would be far simpler and easier

Mr.. Hume says that steps should be tmmedi-
ately taken To transport and plant on Puget
sound Eastern fish. as follows: MackereI lob
ster, eel and gaspereau or alewife; that the
sound is capable of furnishing any quantity OF
the right kind of food for these is hes; our riyers
are splendidly adapted for spawning. and there
is no question but that they would thrive in
these waters.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
recently rendered decision which alone
would justify its existence. and which has
been accepted as just and righteous, even
by disintcrested transportation companies
and their organs.
1t was case affecting the Reading Rail-
way Company of Pennsylvania. That
company owns the principal coal and iron
mines Of the state, or the larger propor.
ton Of them. The managers of the rail.
way are also managers of the iron and coal
properties. In these dual capacities they
have been carrying on q sort of Credit
Mobilier and Contract and Finance game
Of their own. As managers of the pro-
ducing properties they submitted TO, and.
In fact, urged extremely liberal rates to the
railway for the transportation Of their pro-
ducts.
To them this was mere shifting of their
money from one pocket 10 the other. The
exorbitant charge they paid for transpor,a.
ton Of their products merely went 10 swell
their receipts as railway managers. And
1t carried with il like excessive contribu-
ton to railway profits from the owners of
other iron and coal mines in that region.
And besides increasing the profits of their
railway it gave them an advantage over
these other shippers in the iron and coal
markets.
When the matter was taken before the
commission the Reading managers. in
answer to the complaint that the railway
|harges were sxorbitant, showed that they
