"a These various observations demon
strate one thing with absolute certainty,
namely, that it is the power of the railroads
at very moderate expense to equip their
locomotives and operate them in such a
way rs to make dense smoke from any one
of them rare thing.
The Philadelphia Ledger very truly says
that what the Pennsylvania lines have
done in the West they can do in the East.
If they can keep their engines from be-
fouling Chicago with smoke they have no
excuse for maintaining that nuisance in
Plttsburg, Allegheny City and Philadel-
phia. That corporation certainly has as
good reasons for keeping on friendly terms
with the cause of cleanliness here as in
Chicago.
The natural deduction from the success
of this smoke preventing device on the
Pennsylvania lines in Chicago would be
its early adoption in these cities. But we
fear that mora practical conclusion is
that vigorous anti-smoke campaign like
that waged by Chicago will be necessary
to induce the railroads to do it

SHINING AGAINST EXPERIENCE.

Next to the great achievements of the
Republican party in abolishing slavery
and maintaining the Union is its work in
establishing a uniform and stable cur
rency. Since the Republican system got
into full operation no man in any
part of the land has lost cent by the pos
session of notes which were issued by ir-
responsible parties. Every paper repre-
sentative of money has;circulated in all
parts of the country. The national bank
note, the silver certificate and the legal
tender Treasury note are as good in Ore
gon as in New York, and every man in
the length and breadth of the land
takes them because he knows they are
good.
This uniformity and stability in the cir
culatiOn was founded on the 10 per cent
tax on all notes other than those issued
under the authority of the United States
Legislature. The Democratic platform in
proposing the repeal of the tax attacks the
whole system of circulation. Its enmity
to that product of Republican legislation
is so stubborn that it proposes the repeal
without conditions, thus opening. the door
to the return to the day when bank note
good in one State was liable to 10 per
cent discount across the line There has
lately been an attempt to show that it is
proposed to make the regulations for
State banks the same as national banks.
No such condition appears in the Demo-
cratic platform. If it did it would only
emphasize the Bourbon hatred to the ma
tional system. Any State bank that chooses
can now join the national system and is
sue all the circulation it has securities for.
The only reason for the Democratic prop
osition, if it does not contemplate wild
cat currency, is that it is sop to the ex-
Confederate enmity to any result of the
Republican legislation of the war period.
The Democratic fatality for exposing its
stupid and unsafe tendencies at a critical
juncture was never more strikingly illus
trated than in this plank of its platform.
1t is the most vicious financial proposition
of the day, because it sins against the ex-
perience of the nation.

DISHONEST as IT STANDS.

The Boston Globe, in commenting on
the Supreme Courts affirmation of the
constitutionaiity of the Michigan plan of
choosing Presidential electors, proceeds
to uphold the equity of the change as
establishing minority representation. Ii
says: "Why the same equities do not ap-
ply to the Electoral College that apply to
representation in Congress nobody has yet
explained. Under the Michigan system
MI. Cleveland gets what belongs to him,
just as the Democracy does in a Con-
gressional election"
This is a position which may be sup
ported and urged without suspicion of
being swayed by partisan motives, pro-
vided it is done impartially. But in order
to maintain that impartiality the Demo-
Gratis should proceed to adopt the Michi-
gan plan in the sure Democratic States
Even if the Globe as Democratic organ
should urge that the minority be given a
chance to elect some electors in such
States as Virginia, North Carolina, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Missouri, it will
give some earnest that the views expressed
above are the result of honest conviction
and not mere pretext for grabbing few
electoral votes.
But so long as this is done only in a
State where the Democrats would other
wise gain no electors, by a Legislature
whose local apportionments were so out
rageous that Democratic Judge over
threw them, and the sure Democratic
States are kept solid, the Michigan plan is
merely that of grabbing electoral votes
wherever possible, without regard to po-
litical usage or uniformity of representa-
ton.

WHERE SMOKE MAY BE STOPPED.

The success of Chicago in the movement
to mitigate the smoke nuisance continues
to attract public attention. The last point
gained in the vigorous campaign of the
anti-smoke society has been the adoption
by nearly all the railroads entering Chi
cago of devices for their locomotives run
ming inside the city limits which do away
with the smoke It is a significant fact
that the Pennsylvania lines in the West
have adopted device which is wholly
satisfactory to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Smoke" and (which meets with
the appreciation of the Superintendent of
Motive Power of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg. The consulting en-
gineer of the society in private letter
says, after describing several devices in
use, of which that used by the Pennsyl-,
vania lines is one:,
Any of these various forms, If used dill.

DEMOCRACY AND THE SUGAR TRUST.

1t is an indication of the sincerity of
the Democratic professions on the subject
of tariffs and trusts that the party organs
great assault on the Sugar Trust as an
evidence of the wrongfulness of the Nc
Iinley act Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh in his
speech at Philadelphia gave sugar and
binding twine as the two articles which
shook his allegiance to the measure; but
omitted to allow for the fact that the Nc
Kinley act practically wiped out the
duties on sugar, leaving 15c per pound on
refined, and that it reduced the duty on
binding twine from 21Sc per pound to 7Sc.
This is singular omission on the part of
reformer like Mr.. MacVeagh, but it may
be pardoned in view of the unanimous
outcry of the Democratic press that the
exactions of the Sugar Trust are due to
the Nc duty fixed by the Mckinley meas
ure.
There are several things to be said to
that assertion, all involving facts which
our Democratic friends painstakingly ig-
more. In the first place it is something to
the poor that eXactionS of the Sugar
Trust before the passage of the act were
several times greater than now, simply for
the reason that the Mckinley act cut
down the margin of production to the
Trust by two-thirds to tnree-four5hs.
1t is also pertinent on the polit-
ical aspects of the case that the
authorized Democratic measure, the
Mills bill, proposed to leave the Sugar
Trust from 80 to 100 per cent more pro-
lection than the Mckinley act gives it;
and that every motion made by Repu5li-
cans to reduce these duties in the Mills
bill was voted down by the solid Demo-
cratic vote.
Finally, will our Democratic friends
please explain how it comes that nothing
has been done by Democratic House to
remove that fractional duty left on re-
fined sugar? All such bills must originate
in the House; and the House used its pre-
rogadve during the last session to pass
several bills for putting single articles on
the free list. But, although the Sugar
Trust was in the full strength of its re-
iuvenation, not bill passed the House of
Representatives for putting refined sugar
on that list. The Committee on Ways and
Means were challenged by Representative
Stone. of the Allegheny district to report

THOSE partisan Democrats who succeeded
so we'll in calling attention to the reports of
Labor Commissioner Peck, by casting asper-
sions on their veracity, really deserve u vote
OF thanks from the party of Protection. If
Mr.. Peck's figures had been received in
Democratic silence, the food of statistics
corroborative thereof, in demonstrating the
benefits of protection-not only in New
York, but all over the country-would have
missed much of the attention they deserve
and have received. But for Peck's persecu-
tors, the country would hardly have real
iZed how prosperous it is.

IT is said that measures are being taken
to exclude Socialists from the German
army. The exclusion is likely to be re-
garded as a direct incentive to the profes-
sion OF socialistic ideas rather than as a
deterrent therefrom. Tho German army is

suppose that the average citizen has suffi-
cient love of Fatherland to make him feel
the deprivation OF military service very
