A Flash in the Pan.

decidedly sulphurous smell in the Sens

would have involved the President, the

all parties concerned, the threatened
explosion has proved a mere lash in the

Il l. she Cur That Barks Loudest.

It isa peculiar phase Of humanity, and
especially Of the people of this country,
that the most rampant agitators, the
loudest advocates OF any social or
business reforms, are those who have
practically no interest in the matters
affected.
The men who rant about the unjust
and dishonest methods Of our Govern
ment are, In the main, aliens, and have
no part nor parcel In that Government
except so far as It affords them an
asylum.
The men who waste their breath de-
claiming against capital seldom have
one dollar to clink against another and
II by chance they do succeed in securing
a modest fortune prove the hardest
drivers Of labor
The men who are foremost In railroad
strikes, who destroy the property Of
monopolies and private citizens alike In
their zeal, never saw the cab Of an
engine, except from the outside, and
seldom ride on a train.
AS an instance: The other day Rus.

A New Use for Elsetrlcity.

One OF our New York exchanges. whose
love Of truth may be occasionally strained
by it's desire TO beat its contemporaries
with sensational news, recently published
a report Of how some Of the Brooklyn
storekeepers, notably the saloon keepers
kept their places cool by the.use Of waste
electricity. obtained In localities where
the trolley tracks are most plenty. The
theory upon which this story was based
seemed 50 plausible that some effort was
made to ascertain the accuracy Of
the statement but without avail,
for though electrical experts Rd-
mitted 8 great waste from the
trolley system, they did not believe
that 1t had been brought into practical
use, nor could any one be found who had
either used II or tried to do so in the
manner described by our contempt
rary.
Most people who have given attention
to the subject know that the electricity
which is generated to run the cars is
carried by the trolley wires to the wire
directly over the car from whence II Is
conducted to the trolley pole Of the car
and to the motor which runs the car
When a motorman turns on the current
the electrieity passes into the motor,
which II sets In motion, and then passes
of through the car wheels to the track
The track thus play the part Of a ground
wire In order that the electricity may
ground properly the car tracks are
connected with wires, under the
ground surface, and, as a consequence
the waste electricity is grounded in thu
best manner possible and becomes lost
as Il should, TO all intents and purposes
30 far as the car is concerned.
This waste electricity is not, however
according to the authority given, lost
but permeates the ground and naturall
goes for the gas and water pipes. AS
result these pipes, in cellars adjoinin
trolley tracks, possess enough electricit
to be utilized In furnishing power SUI
fcient TO run machinery. This varies 4
different localities. according to th
amount Of electricity in use by the carr
but in all cases there Is waste enough I
run machinery Of some kind, which
according to the story alluded to, is
some places equal to four or Eve hors
power, and is utilized by store an

business cool during the Summer.

An exchange contains the following
"The Ameer of AfghRnstan has Just
published an extraordinary address to
the Afghan people, which shows that,
even in semi.oivlllzsd countries, an abso.
lutte ruler feels that his absolutism Is
the outcome Of the popular will. In the
humblest terms-more like an electoral
candidate than a despotic sovereign-he
demands permission from his people to
visit London. He says that his visit is
prompted by zeal for religion and the
welfare Of the Afghans, and he calls
upon the people TO assemble In their
village communities and to express their
feelings and wishes freely in writing.
Whatever their decision may be on the
subject, the Ameer says that he will
obey Il without a murmur"
Why certainly he may go. We don't
want to be too hard on the boy. For an
Ameer he has worked extraordinarily
well and an outing will do him good
We grant him leave OF absence for tire,
weeks and his salary will be continued
during bis visit to enable him to have
royal time.
We commend his zeal for religion an,
the welfare of his people, and advisr
him TO beware Of Scotch whiskey an,

what Did They Mean


From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A remarkable colloquy took place in
the Senate ON Tuesday. Senator Hill
declared that when the senator from
Maryland had said that the President
would not recede from the position he
had taken on the tariff bill he was pretty
safe la making the bluff" "Do not let
him bluff you, said Senator Gray. 81 do
not think / will, " Mr.. Hill replied Call
him" Mr.. Gray added. What did the
grave Senators mean? They speak a
language that seems to be peculiar TO the
Senate. but which people outside of that
august body do not understand.

Baseball was never more popular
among the American people than IL is
this season. Never since the introduc-
ton Of the game as national sport has
20 much interest been manifested. not
even when the country was set al re
with the craze by the three majo
leagues IN 1890 Despite the depression
that exists, the attendance at the
National League games this year ex
ceeds the attendance during that
memorable period. The game Is a
manly, clean and progressive pastime
Points Of science and alertness are
brought out In handling the sphere
that seem almost impossible. It
is truly national game and
It's origin is American. Unfortunately for
Wilmington the selfshness Of the mana
gers OF the down-state teams has deprived
its oitlzsns Of the opportunity of seeing
interesting games between the clubs OF
Delaware. The formation OF such @
league would have undoubtedly proved q
success. Wilmington has enough popu-
lstlon to support good teams and its
various street car facilities offer easy
methods Of transportation. IL is hoped
that the league may yet be formed and
that the national game will not 90 a.

A new phase was given 20 tGe alscus-
sion on coal by a proposition that the sen
ate rate of 40 cents a ton should stand,
with a proviso for admitting coal free
from such countries as make a reciprocity
agreement TO admit coal from the United
States free. This brought out consider
able comment favorable 70 the proposition,
and 10 was pointed out that this would
give the Canadian coal free access to this
country and yet compel Canada 10 remit
her present duty on that article
While no agreement was reached, the
expressions We're so generally favorable TO
the proposition that it was regarded as
one of the points on which "a common
ground Of agreement in conference could
be reached. There was little discussion Of
iron ore, and nothing was done to change
the situation on that article.
The action of the senate caucus was re-
ceived with much satisfaction by the
members Of the house and throughout last
evening they gathered at the public cen.
tiers and discussed the prospect Of speedy
settlement.
Although the general understanding of
members was that the senators had not
yielded on iron ore and discuss a reciproc.
ity clause on coal, yet the tendency was
SO strong for n termination of the strug-
gle that there was no criticism Of what
the senators were expected to do
Mr. Springer said that the caucus action
would be readily accepted by the house,
rs the point had been reached when the
house wanted bill without any further
wrangle over details This tendency In
the house to end the controversy was very
marked and was participated I'm by mem
bers who have heretofore been unyielding
1t was apparent also that there are many
members who would now prefer to have
the senate bill adopted, although they had
heretofore supported the house bill through
loyalty to Chairman Wilson and their as
sooiates
Dull In the Senate.
The proceedings in the senate were brief
and tame to the point of WEAKNESS. Tho
Democratic managers maneuvercd so as
to prevent any further pyrotechnic display
until the result of the attempt to get to-
gether at tho caucus was ascertained.
Mr.. Gallery completed his speech, begun
Tuesday, but said nothing of a sensational
nature, and Senators Hunton and Daniel
of Virginia took occasion to explain that
thoy were not among those Democratic
senators who had demanded concessions
as the price Of their support of the bin,
the former announcing himself, however,
in favor Of revenue duty on coal, iron
and sugar.
Just before the senate went into execu-
tive session Mr. Quay gave notice of three
amendments 10 the pending motions of
Mr.. Villas and Mr.. Gray--that the senate
reccde from the whole sugar schedule in
two instances and from the one-eighth
diiferential in favor of redners in the
other In this way each motion will be
complicated by direct vote on the sugar
schedule
In the house tho day was given up Ia

were passed. Despite the attraction at the
