| capitalists were of opinion that financial
reasons had even more to do with the with
drawaL In other words, it was said that it
was impossible to run a street car with any
storage battery then existing proftably un-
less more than cents. which is the univer-
sal horse car fare, is charged.
Tne difficulty with the storage batteries
as explained to the writer by Mr.. J. J.
Carly, who is an infuential member of the
Society OF American Engineers, has been
first its great weight, second its liability to
destruction. The storage batteries used
heretofore have been supplied with lead
plates, which are very heavy. When
charged these plates became also very deli
cate. For instance, if a careless man driv-
ing a street car furnished with a storage
battery turned on too great a current,
speaking in untechnical language the lead
plates were liable to curl up, twist in all
sorts of shapes. or, as electricians call it,
''to buckle" and this practically ruined the
battery and made the expense of repairing
something very great
The Young Inventors Use Steel.
The young Schenectady scientists real
lied that the problem was to get a battery
which would be light and which would not
be liable to such accidents as made the old
batteries so expensive. A good many bat
teries have been invented which have been
light, but which were still liable to serious
damage by reason of carelessness
When the electricians examined the stor-
age battery which Waddell and Ernst had
invented they were amazed to find that the
inventors were making use of steel plates.
These plates were very thin, and therefore
light in weight, but steel for such pur-
pose would have been the last method
which would have occurred of-hand to any
electrician for such use. 1t was only sug-
gested to the inventors after long series of
experiments with many other metals, and
it was tried first more in desperation than
with any hope that it would be successful.
Without using technical language it may
be said that this storage battery consists of
a set of steel plates, of copper mat, which
is made of fine copper wire very closely

test will show that it is all that is claimed
for it, yet they do say that they will be
more surprised if it fails than if it succeeds.
Other Storage Batteries Too Costly.
Storage batteries have been made hereto
fore which did their work satisfactorily, but
which involved expense and were COM
mercially therefore of little avail. On one
of the street railways in New York City
street cars were fitted with storage batter
les, which furnished perfectly satisfactory
power, and it was thought for while
might supplant horse power used on that
line. After year, however, the cars were
Withdrawn, and while it was said this was
due to litigation in which the company
owning the storage battery was concerned,

the process. One dark night, when the fire
was streaming from our two smokestacks al
the scraps were shovelled into the ireplaces,
a large ship ran down within hail1ng dis

THE McKIHLEY Bill AND WAGES.

During the discussion of the McKin-
ley bill and the probable effect it would
have upon tho wages Of the mill work
ers of the country, the Republican ora
tors and editors promised us an era Of
unexampled prosperity They cold us
that its effects would be productive Of
much good and that the wage-workers
would experience an era Of prosperity
never known before. Many poor man
was deceived by their false arguments
and induced at the time to cast his lot
and his ballot with those who advocated
McKinleyism. Instead of the prosperity
and better times promised, what has
been the result? Is there a single wage
worker in this country who has had his
earnings increased on account of the Nc
Kinley law? This question was asked
time and again by Ex-Governor Camp
bell, during last falls campaign, and not
a single answer was received in the af-
hrmative On the other hand are there
any whose wages have been decreased
since the passage of The bill? The New
York World answers this question most
satisfactorily, indeed. Ii says, in sub
stance, that since that time there hay e
been 473 strikes in this country These
strikes were caused on account of a de-
crease in the wages Of those employed in
H.. r. IN.

F0UR AMENDMENTS.

On the fifth Of October the voters of
Georgia win be given an opport unity to
say whether they want these four consti-
tuticad amendments or not:
First, That the General Assembly
shall meet annually.
Second, That the life Of each General
Assembly shall be fifty days. No more,
no less.
Third, That only the titles Of local
bills, bank or railroads or other charters
shall be read on the first reading.
Fourth, That the granting OF corpo-
rate powers to banks, insurance, express
and railroad companies shall be vested
with the Secretary Of State, and not in
the Legislature.
1t is likely that these amendments viii
be adopted. However, it is with the peo-
pie to say whether they shall be or not
at the next election.

that the democratic party in the south
would disintegrate, the Philadelphia
Record says
But there is no justification for such
antici pations. The tie that binds the
people of the southern states to the
democratic party is one of necessity as
well as conviction. The southern people
understand very well that there is no
safety for them except in the mainte-
nance of the party in the Union strong
enough to hold in check the disposition
to Africanize the States in which there
are large black populations. Until this
fear shall have been dispelled Alabama

ors, legislators and representatives in
