country is Going to the dogs. and that
the throne is in danger ewing to the
rapid growth of liberal ideas among the
masses, which, according to the editor
Of the religious paper, IS the cause of
all the disturbance among the work
men.
The boldest of the papers read by the
masses take an entirely different view of
the affair. They openly denounce the
authorities for their brutality, upbraid
the government for paying more atten-
ton to preparations for war than to pro-
noting the interests of the people of
Germany, and frankly predict that a
long struggle between the emperor and
the people has commenced, and that in
the end vicory must resi- with the peo-
pie.
They announce that the country is
heartily tired of hearing The tread of
well-fed, armed men, where hosts of
starving unemployed workmen are gath
cred, and claim that the government of
the people and for the people would
brush away the expense of these useless
armed hosts and restore to Europe the
peace and prosperity which the large
majority so long desire.
This is the moderate subs ance of the
popular utterances. There are, of course,
other papers which have pronounced
views. but the above gives fair idea of
the situation as regarded by the news
papers.

worlds fair commissioner to Australia
and New Zealand, has returned from an
extended visit to those countries, and
brings back assurances that they will be
represented at the worlds fair by mag

interest in the Columbian fair. They be-
lieve it will be the grandest exhibition of
the age, and liberal appropriations are
being made to make rich exhibits. A
large number of commissioners are also
being appointed to take charge of these
exhibits. Among the articles which
will be displayed are wool, New Zea-
land flax, jars, wood used for street pave
ments, ores and New Zealand works of
art The paintings of Maori aborigines
of New Zealand will be shown. | also
visited Colombo, Ceylon, and found
that 100000 rupees, equal to 100000,
had been appropriated for the Ceylon
exhibit. Last year Ceylon exported
70,000,000 pounds of tea, and a good
part of it was sent to this country. In
Australia / met many friends had
made when visited there in 1888 as
United States commissioner to the
Australian fair. The distance between
Sydney and San Francisco is 1900 miles
shorter than from Sydney to London.
Arrangements are now being made with
the Union Steamship company, Of New
Zealand, to run three steamships from
Sydney to San Francisco during tho

5000 Australians will visit Chicago.

SALTON SINK FILLING UP.


The Water Appears Earlier Than Last

SALTON, Cal. Feb. 27.-From present
indications the desert lake here will be
much larger than last year. At present
the lake is about half mile wide, ard
after running along the Southern Pa
cifc track for about two miles exten7s $
off out of sight to the south. At this
time last year there was not drop of
water visible, although there was !
quantity few inches below the surfa

1t was not until several months lator
that the fools occurred in the Gila AMI
Colorado rivers, caused by melting

water in Salton sink began to attract at
tention. The SHOWS in the mountains
at present are heavier than for yeas,
and coming, as the water will when
they melt, on the land already in lar
part saturated, q lake of uneXamp

residents believe that about one hun

MILLERs OFF FOR CUBA.
Fine Prospects for Opening Up Great
Trade in Flour.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 27.-A party of
northwestern millers have left here for
Havana for the purpose of making ar
rangements for opening up a trade in
flour between the northwest and that
point Until very recently such trade
was impossible. Up to the beginning of
the year, when the reciprocity treaty
went into effect, prohibitcry duty of
$5 83 per 200 pounds was enforced.
Not barrel could be imported from
the United States at this figure and the
Cubans were compelled to get their
-four direct from Spain. The treaty,
however, reduced the duty to 81 per 200
pounds, and hence it is possible for the
-four producing districts of the United
States to compete for the trade. Last
year Havana purchased 100000 sacks
of flour, The party will be joined in
Chicago by number Of men and there
will be additions to it at st. Louis. Two
days will be spent in New Orleans at
the Mardi Gras festivities, and steam

NOT THE RIGHT CAUSE.

1t is Just as important for the support
ers of the correct policy in monetary mat
ters to be accurate as for those who main
tain the wrong side. This is impressed
upon us by an editorial comment in the
Philadelphia Record, with whose anti-free-
coinage views The DISPATCH agrees.
Speaking of the failure of the policy of
United States legislation to raise the price
of silver, it says the spectators in that
metal were forced to dump their holdings
in India. Gas result" it proceeds,
"there is gorge of silver in India; money
was never so cheap, nor bankruptcies so
frequent, nor business SO stag nant."
This is an assertion that, as a direct re-
suit of the influx and superabundance of
the money metal in India, bankruptcy
and business stagnancy have increased.
1t is difficult to accept so sweeping a
statement without question. Silver is
the universal medium in which debts are
paid in India, and the assertion is
practically made that bankruptcy, or ina
bility to pay debts, has increased because
there is a larger supply of the medium in
which debts are to be paid, and it can be
obtained at cheaper rates, which is an abb
surdity If the assertion were that the in
fiation of the monetary supply had pro-
duced booms, speculation and bubbles,
which eventually progressed to the point
of bursting and then produced bankruptcy
and stagnation, it would be in accordance
with well established economic laws. But
when it is asserted that the increase of the
money metal in any country has within
the first year caused stagnation and bank
ruptcy, there must be mistake some
where.
In the interest of strict accuracy our CO.
temporary had better inquire whether
there have been no other causes prior to
this recent influx of silver, such as famines
or speculative bubbles, which might have

HALL AFTER yINpICATIoN

The trouble in which Prof. James Bryce
finds himself as one of the results of his
book, "The American Commonwealth. -
takes more material form than that
which generally visits itself on foreign
authors who express themselves too freely
on American customs and events. As a
general rule we denounce the European
critic in public and buy largely of his
book 20 read in private But Prof. Bryce
intruSted the writing of chapter on the
Tweed Ring to Prof Goodnow, of Colum-
bia College, and that gentleman having
committed the indiscretiOn of asserting
that 4. Oakley Hall was an attache of that
clique, with details to that effect, Prof.
Bryce is confronted with a large libel
suit, which will be ruinously costly even
if he wins.
The vigorous determination of Mr..
Hall to make life d burden for the man
who is so censorious as to say
anything unpleasant about lis connection
with the Tweed business may look on the
surface like the platform of the irate indi-
vidual who proclaimed "Jones said
that was confounded rascal and I'm
going to make him prove it." But in view
of the prevailing appetite of the political
mind for vindication, it is no more than
fair to recognize that Hall is entitled to
his ration Of it. All that was ever charged
against Hall was that he acted as figure
head for the Tweed coterie and carefully
looked the other way while the stealing
was going on. And that is a matter of
twenty years ago. We are in the habit of
dealing out vindication for offenses of

Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-01-02

A new development of the electric rail.
way is attracting attention. The latest
illustration is afforded by charter for a
line between Lancaster and New Holland,
fourteen miles, with a capital of $500, 900.
This is commented upon as an illustra-
ton that the electrical method permits the
establishment of short lines connecting
towns. and that the small investment will
render them profitable where the traffic
will not support steam railroad.
This may be true to certain extent.
But as the essential difference between
such railroad as that referred to and a
steam one of similar gauge and equal cost
of road bed is simply that of motive power,
there is still: an open question as to uni
versal superiority of the new idea The
vital question is whether the motive = ,wer
from steam can be converted into electric
ity and theE applied to locomotion as
cheaply as to apply the steam power
directly When this can be done it is evil
dent that all steam railroads must use
electric power or be left irredeemably in
the rear If it cannot be done it is diff
cult to see how an electric road connecting
two country towns will possess any advan-
tages over steam road of similar cost and
capacity.
Some twenty years ago there was wide
spread development of the theory that
narrow gauge railroads were the coming
thing in transportation. Thousands of
miles of such lines were built on that
theory; but very few remain to-day. 1t
may be that this new development of the
electric railway has a single genesis. We
are under the impression that the superior
ity of electric power lies in its availability
for city streets and tunnels, where the
smoke, sparks and noise of steam power
must be forbidden, and in its devisability
so that it can be applied in cases where the
power required is less than would justify a
steam plant. 1t must proceed to the stage
of being furnished at an actually less cost
than steam, horsepower for horsepower,
before it can displace that agent on rail-
roads running far beyond city lines.
