NOVEL USES OF AIR.

The city council of Philadelphia has
under consideration, with favorable ac-
ton anticipated, an ordinance granting
street privileges TO pneumatic power
company. This is composed of citizens
of high business standing and great
wealth. The name indicates that the
company is to operate with compressed
air, but the purposes to which it is to be
applied are novel in this country. The
details and methods are not indicated
very clearly, but the objects are to sup
ply light, heat and power. A large
plant is to be erected in some central
locality for the generation of the power.
Underground pipes will convey the
compressed air about the city for the va
rious uses, land it will be sold in regulated
quantities, much as electricity now is.
There is no novelty in the use of COM
pressed air as a propelling force. In
this country it has been utilized.only in
tubes for short distances. On some
street car lines in France and England
it is the motive force, and there are st.
Paul residents who are familiar with
this use of it who prefer it to electricity.
1t does away with all annoyance of
wires and poles. 1t is asserted that in
England it is in growing use for light
and heat also, and has been proved quite
practicable. IL it fills all the require
ments for these domestic ends more
cheaply than other agencies. the i'm
portance of the thing will be greatly en-
HANGED.

THE IOWA SITUATION.

Iowa is intensely interested in the
discussion HOW going Oh in the legisla-
ture over the license bill to take the
place of the ineffective prohibition law
that the Republicans in their conyen-
tons have for a decade resolved to
stand by. The debate reveals the seem
ing fact that the Republicans are to
stand in the legislature even more
unitedly for prohibition in the books
than they have in the conventions.
Many of the managing Republicans and
their most influential journals have been
urging that the withes that held the
party to prohibition be loosened.
and a chance be afforded to
stop the exit of tho liberal vote
and the growing hopelessness of
recovering something of the lost
ground. But the half-dozen Re-
publicans in the legislature who were
to vote with the Democrats on this
question have weakened, if they had
such a purpose. They have removed
suspicion by leading The opposition to
the new measure. They could not hon
Orably desert the prohibition standard.
as they were pledged to it specifically
and personally. The new bill cannot
pass without the connlvance of the Re-
publican leaders, and they have more
reason to fear the pr ohibition element
than the liberals, as it constitutes the
dominant force in voting. The sit
uation is OF general interest Just

NOT A HARD TASK.

The New York Sun may be supposed
70 have special end to subserve in per-
sisting that the Democrats caunot pos
sibly elect president without the
electoral vote of New York. Taking
the figures of the presidential elections
for good while past, and it might be
conceded to be right. but there have
been material changes in the voting
temper of several states since 1888.
There will be 223 votes required to elect.
The South has $50, which are conceded
to the Democrats. The sixteen of New
Jersey and Connecticut with seven
from Michigan are added. These make
1872. Indiana may reasonably be put i'll
the list, giving 1871. HENRY WAITER
son, Senator VEST and many other
prominent Democrats express the Opin-
ion that the Earring in New York
will make any candidate from it
unavailable, and that the head of the
ticket must come from the West. In
that event Illinois or Iowa will quite
surely have the place, and should it be
Illinois it would be carried by the Dem
OcratS. Its twenty-five votes bring the
figures up to 2l9. Rhode Island is about
certain for the ticket. and its four votes
make just the needed 223.: Then there
are Wisconsin. with II votes, Iowa with
Is, Montana with 3. and several other
chances to fall back upon. There are
harder tasks than to figure out success s
without New York, especially with a
popular Western candidate. Then.
should New York be doubtful for one of
its own men, there is no reason that it
should not vote for an outsider 1t is a
very convenient state to have, but not
indispensable to the Democrats.

MAY BE CUT OFF.

1t is insisted by some that the propo-
sitiOn in congress to restrict pensions to
those who are either citizens or resi-
dents of the United States should not
prevail because the number of aliens
and non-residents who are on the pen
sion list is large. The author of the bill
in question believes there are $1,000 of
them, at least. A reduction comprising
so many would involve saving worth
looking after. The mora there may be
of them the better in a financial way, if
it is right TO eliminate them from the
list. 1t is probable that most of them
were young fellows away from home on
adventure. and not specially interested
in the country or its cause. There are
Americans at times who stray abroad
in war periods and enter the military
service of some countries. returning
home at its conclusion. 1t is uot under
