Elect rOlykis In Water PIPES,

A considerable amount of anxiety ha.
recently beer caused. especially among
corporations controlling waterworks, by
the discovery that the passage of electric
cars has a tendency to seriously iniure
the water pipes Of "a city by causing elec.
trolysis. At q meeting OF a waterworEs
association an electrical engineer stated
that in some cases under his observation
lead pipe had entirely disappeared by the
action Of the electric current. and a like
result had attended the use of iron, gal
vanized iron. brass and '.rustlsss" pipes.
The corrosive action takes place Where
the current leaves the pipe and not
where 1t enters it, and the phenomena
mentioned Were undoubtedly owing TO
the operation of electric cars. 1t is sat.
lsfactory to know that should the cleo.
trolysls OF water pipes become so serious
a question as It is thought by some il
may, a certain remedy, although it
would increase the cost Of water install
~iations, would be the insulation of tie
conduits. Chicago Herald.

WHO CARES FOR ABRoAD7

q q WHO CARES FOR ABROAD?
That honored but mugwamp journal
the Springfield Republican, draws q
comparison between Russell and Green
halge, respectively the Democratic and
Republican candidates tor governor of
Massachusetts,. The comparison is un-
favorable to Greenhalge. who is des-
cribed as having narrowed the range OF
his vision to the field OF a statesman
who contemporary inquiries, who
cares for abroad ?" SIT remains" con-
cludes the Republican ''for the states
manship of this country to admit the
breadth OF the problem and to deal with
it on large lines. and anything short of
this is folly and continued unsettle'
ment of the great problem which vexes
u.s." This.is pure mugwump doctrine
and quite different from the Democratic
doctrine which has singularly the
same end in view, tariff reform. The
mugwump tariff reformer is one from
mistaken principles; the Democrat, one
from tradition.
1t is sufficient for patriotic Americans
to inquire "Who cares for abroad" for
who need care for abroad if there be
prosperity at home?
Governments have not been built up
by the Utopian theory Of Golden rule
to be applied to the affairs of nations.
Great Britain never attained her COM
mercial supremacy by caring for
abroad
Nor is there any vexing problem to
be solved. The economical problem, il
it ever really existed has been solved by
the growth Of American factories under
the cherishing influence of strong pro-
tectIve tariff. The correctness of the
solution has been proved since Novem-
Der last by the languishing of the same
factories under the threatening blight
of Democratic president and Demo.
cratic congress pledged to destroy them

A CORRECT MEASUREMENT.

This morning the readers of THE Re-
PUBLICAN are presented with telegraph
service equal to any enjoyed by the
readers of any other paper in the coun.
try.
This has been undertaken at great
cost, at time when newspapers are
hesltating about adopting improve
ments involving additional expense
THE REPUBLICAN believes that with the
increased patronage which must natur-
ally follow, the expense can be we'll at
forded. A territorial pride should be
taken in this movement. Arizona is
regarded as the wealthiest of the inter-
mountain states and territories, both in
her developed and undeveloped resour-
ces. The capital, Phoenix, is popularity
believed to be just now the most -four
ishing town west of the Rocky Noun
tains and there is probably no other
which commands in so high degree
the attention of capitalists. Surround
ed on three sides by gold camps and
mines which are believed to be the
richest and most extensive in existence
and to which the course of investors is
being directed the Mecca at this season
of the year of thousands who are escap-
ing the rigors of northern and eastern
winters, it is natural that there should
be wish to be in quick touch with the
rest of the world through the agency OF
complete telegraph service, an alb
sence of which might almost be
considered an imputation against the
energy and public spirit Of the town
and territory.
THE REPUBLICAN believes that its
measure of these two great public quail.
tiles will be found to be correct.

east, who have been intending to go
into winter quarters, have naturally
been delayed by the worlds fair, which
has now closed, so that they may be ex-

withstanding the recent scarcity OF
money in the east and the magnetic eff
feet of the worlds fair upon tourists.
