Industry. temperance and frugality" as
his motto. he conducted large enterprises
profitably and established upon a firm foun-
dalton one of the finest Of newspaper prop
erties-the Philadelphia Public Ledger. And
yet his business interests extensive as they
were. never interfered with his social activ-
fty or the benevole2ce for which his name
will ever be renowned. Thousands of men
and women were proud to call him their
friend and through this multitude and the
medium of The Ledger, George W. Childs
did incalculable good. A believer in private
virtue he unswe-vingly advocated public
morality. and for many years must have

Carping critics who accuse Minister AL
bert 8. Willis of discourtesy toward the peo-
pie Of Hawaii because he refused to par
ticipate in the celebration Of the first an
niversary of Hawaiian Independence should
close the flood-gates Of their indignant
eloquence and think for a while. 1t was
most natural that President Cleveland's
representative should decline to take part
In any Of the joyful ceremonies. His every
effort since he landed at Honolulu has been
to upset the government to which he was
accredited, so 1t was manifestly impossible
for him to be the governments guest on
such q conspicuously great occasion as
that Of January IL. To have Joined in
those festivities with any show Of interest
would have been rank hypocrisy. In his
declination. Mr.. Willis writes that "The
United States finds 1t impossible, at the
present, to participate in the celebration
Of national independence" The Hawaiian
people should not be literal In their con-
struction Of that remark. Representatives
Of the United States at Honolulu may have
refrained from participation. but the United
States-which. by the way. Is on this side
of the Pacilc-was in hearty sympathy
with the oratory and music and parades and
fireworks and feasting with which the in
teilisent people of Hawaii celebrated their
emancipation.

Storage batteries have been weighed in

Mr.. George c. Maynard Of this city, In the
Electrical Review. Washington Is interest
ed in the story Mr.. Maynard has to TELL for
the narrative IL Of the experiments made by
the Metropolitan Street Railway Company
and out of which 1t was hoped that a suita-
BILE street-car motor would come. At con-
siderable length the hopes and fears Of the
metropolitan Company are displayed and
there is much interesting Information Of
the technical sort; all, however, leading to
the conclusion that the day has not yet ar
rived when the ideal motor can be regarded
as a commercial success. Mr.. Maynard
says that 1.-The motionless machinery. the
idle cars and valueless batteries, the enor-
nous hole In the companys bank account

means to attain success was tried and fall

such a motor Is demanded by public need.

lenged to produce 1t. and there IS a growing
faith that, somewhere in the conserved
forces Of the universe, there Is a power
which shall wipe the unsightly and OBJ
structive trolley lines or the face or the
earth, shall bury the power-wasting cables

car horse out to the enjoyment Of green
pastures and well-earned days or rest"
That the storage battery Will work well
under certain conditions Is evidenced Dy

none OF these roads present the grade

give it two railroads,

full, high plateau, midway between

city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for a big trade from this
fertile region,
