Tho Little End of the Tunnel.

The Nep York Times describes Mr.. r. T.
WILSON'S astounding proposition OF Satur-
day In the following terms:
.fhe proposition made yesterday by Mr.. R. 7. wrsos
10 the Rapid Transit Commissioners may be accepted
rs conclusive evidence that capital for an underground
roud can be obtained. IL by any means the aid OF tho
city can be given to keep the interest on some TO per
cent. OF the $50. ooo.oo needed down to 3 per cent.
That Is about what the proceedings disclosed"
This Is n roundabout way OF stating a
very simple business proposition.
What Mr.. WILSON and his associates pro-
pose to do Is to invest SIS. 900, 900 and pro-
coed to build. own. and operate an expert
mental underground railroad costing $50
600. 900. providing the city. in addition to
granting them the franchise. will borrow
S95, OOO, 900 and turn 1t over to them at three
per cent. They hope in some way to be
able to evade the Constitutional prohibition
against Joint civic and private enterprises
OF that sort, and are willing to go ahead II
the city will assume nearly three-qunrters
Of the %pecuniary risk Of a doubtful UNDER
taking. We should think they might T!
Even II the Constitution did not stand in
the way Of such an arrangement. 1t would
be poor policy to accept this offer. Strong
as are the reasons against municipal owner
ship and operation OF q rapid transit sys-
TEN, IL there were anything in the tunnel
scheme 1t would be cheaper and better for
New York to borrow Mr.. WILSON'S sl5.OoO.-
600 at three per cent, and dig. own. and run
the tunnel all by itself.
The proposition is made by these gentle
men in perfect good faith. no doubt: and
the fact that such n proposition is the only
one yet made in good faith, shows conclu-
siyely that underground rapid transit Is
financially as impracticable as 1t is physi-
cally and physiologically undesirable.

n WHISKY IRADE MARK.
An Application Made to the Patent Office
by Governor TilIman.

WASHINGTON. d. c., August b.
Governor Tillman. Of South Carolina,
has applied to the United States Patent
Office for authority TO use the word
palmetto" as a trade mark for South
Carolina dispensary whisky. The Pat
ent officers are reticent on the subject.
and say that il Is not the proper thing
TO give out information concerning trade
marks until they are issued. Then the
subject is a public one.
The facts Of the case in question are
that some time ago Attorney-General
Townsend, of South y irolina, came to
Washington, and IL is reasonably thought
now that his mission was TO secure the
trade mark desired. The examiner In
whom the application was referred de-
MED IT, He maintained that the statute
provided for the issue OF trade marks
only 70 persons firms and corporations.
and that a State is neither. The at
tvrneys then appealed 10 Commissioner
of Patents Seymour.
Their brief sets forth that trade
mark is incidental TO the right OF trade.
and that a trade mark cannot be de-
MED a State without denial OF a States
right to trade. 1t then reasons that the
right of State to trade is not disputed.
and cites the mail service, the govern
ment control Of railroads in Germany. OF
tobacco In France and OF wines In Hun
gary
Tho commissioners decision as 10
whether the trade mark sought shall
issue will be made public within . few
days.

gress. If the country was TO have free
coinage, let the country know IL: IL IL
was to have a limited coinage, let the
country know It,; and IL there was to be
an unconditional repeal of the silver act,
let the country know 1t.
Mr.. Wolcott agreed with Mr.. Lodge
that this was not party question: he did
not agree with him that the present dis
urbed state of the finances OF the country
were in any way attributable to the
Sherman law. 1t had come partly be-
cause OF European losses in South Ame-
rica and Australia; partly because Russia
and Austria were buying gold and partly
because the United States had purchased
more goods abroad than it had sold
abroad.
All these causes were utterly indepen-
dent Of and Irrespective Of silver and the
Sherman act. IL there had not been a
dollars worth Of silver in the country,
and il there had never been line Of
silver legislation. the blight would have
come exactly the same. Silver was not
responsible for it.
At the close OF Mr.. Wocotts speech
the Lodge resolution was laid aside with
out action, and Mr.. Hoar addressed the
Senate on Mr.. Vests resolution as TO BIZ
metalism. His speech was general dis
cussion OF the whole question OF the re
lation Of silver and gold. and
was plea for conservative
speech and action. He announced him
self in favor Of both these metals as cur
rency on parity. He had always been
a bimetallst. but Il was the bimetallism
Of Washington and Jefferson which rec
ognized gold as the finer metal, and ne
cessarily the standard of value.
At the close Of Nr. Hoars speech a dis
cussion started as to the old question of
responsibility for the demonetlzatiOn Of
silver, and was carried on for some time
by Messrs. Stewart. Cockrell. Aldrich, Hoar
and Sherman. Finally. at $40 +. NJ, af-
ter a brief executive session, the Senate
adjourned until tomorrow.
