ELECTRICITY VS.. STEAM.

The question of the comparative
economy of steam locomotives md
electric motors for suburban railway
traffic has been much discussed of
late. The editor of the Electric
Power, relating his observations and
experiences in Colorado, recently
mentioned having seen a heavy loco
motive hauling a baggage car and
two coaches manned by an engineer,
fireman, baggageman, conductor and
brakeman, competing with an electric
car on a parallel track which was
carrying three times as much paying
load at half the fare and handled by
a motorman and conductor. The
indications are that this will soon be-
come frequent spectacle in many of
the thickly settled districts of the
country. The popularity of the
electric system is due to the low fare,
the greater frequency of trips, the
facility for alighting wherever de-
sired, or of being carried by transfer
tickets to almost any point, to which
may be added the absence of the DIS
comforts of smoke, dust and cinders.
Except in the case of comparatively
long runs, the greater speed of the
ordinary railway train does not seem
to give il any material advantage in
a competition of this kind.

The SANTA Ez's VIEW OF IT.

The claim made by the Western
Passenger Association roads that the
reduction of the rate to Denver and
return to $l2 for the occasion of the
Knights Templar conclave will in-
flict enormous losses upon the roads
is not shared by the Santa Fe Of
ficials. They contend that the low
rate will prove source Of revenue
and put money in the compauy's
treasury. They estimate that their
earnings will show not less than
$4,000 net on the tight side of the
ledger, but lines that have been to
heavy expense securing what they
have contracted for will not be so
well off. The Santa FEES figures
show that from Chicago alone it will
have five special trains averaging $50
paid passengers to the train, making
$4,000 gross revenue from each train
or total of $l3,5OO from the five
trains. Then 1t is calculated that
probably more will be taken by the
regular trains, of which there are
two day from Chicago, thus bring
ing the total revenue of business
originating in Chicago up to about
$4,000. The business originating
at points along the line between here
and Denver will aggregate nearly
three times as much. The Santa Fe
has incurred no special expense in
securing the business, and hence its
profits will be much larger than those
of roads which have had their agents
out for six months spending money
lavishly, giving away thousands in
passes, and more in commissions, cash
donations, etc.-Chicago Tribune.

ton to the simple fact, even at the
expense Of reiteration and of being
tiresome. We expended S462, OOo,-
600 the first session of the Fifty.frst
congress. We were abused most
roundly therefor. The lowest figures
any Democrat can now make for his
congress is $5lO,OoO,OOO. These
figures are undisputed. The moral
Is indisputable.
at does sometimes seem great
pity that we haven't, we Republi-
cans, the power of vituperatiOn. We
seem TO have no energy of character
ization. Abusing as the Democrats
have in the widest language the APP
preparation of s460, 100000 and then
appropriating s5lO,OOO,Ooo them
selves means two things; 1t means
that in the last campaign the Democ-
racy were inaccurate and that in the
present house they have been de-
tected. If we were in their place
and they in ours, I feel their Ian
guage would be more adequate.
