ELECTRIC RAILROAD.

New England Proposes to Run Long
One Into Canada.
New Englanders propose to get out
of electricity all the good there is in it
as motive power. There are numerous
waterfalls among their hills and noun
tains, the force of which they propose
to utilize in generating power to run a
railway from Haverhill, Mass. through
TO Quebec, q distance Of nearly 800
miles. If built, this road will be the
most picturesque in the world. The pro-
posed road will traverse the whole OF
the White mountain region Of New
Hampshire, and after leaving it will
strike into the wild and picturesque
ruggedness of the province of Quebec.
-. OF the entire length Of the road, $50
miles will be ON the United States side
T.. Of the international boundary line, the
remaining 100 miles being under the
jurisdiction of the Canadians.
Little freight could be expected to
pass over such road, and the bulk OF
the passenger traffic would be confined
to the summer months. Indeed it is
doubtful if such road could be oper-
ated at all during the winter season.
Possibly somebody connected with the
enterprise may prove sufficiently ingen-
ious to provide some kind Of runner
which could be exchanged for wheels
and which could be operated by electric
fly, so that the cars could glide over
the surface of the snow. 1t is said.

operated so inespensively that good
summer travel would be sufficient to
pay satisfactory returns on the outlay.

Salisbury at Work.

Lord Salisbury has been working at the
problem presented by the sudden over
turn Of British politics in the last election.
He is too old Politician to admit the
conclusion that the English people or any
great part OF them have been transformed
from Liberals to confirmed Tories. So he
inclines to think it is question of persons
rather than of principles and that the
people are disposed to give each set of
public men its turn and to dismiss them
when it is time to try the other. Yet
from 1916 to 1874 the Liberals carried
every election and the Tories never
got turn at the hands of the
at times through. dissensions in the Par
liamentary majority. And there was
long lease of power for the Tories from
1902 till 1880, when the Liberal party
seemed permanently discredited. The
Tories are brought In now simply because
the country is doing badly, and the Lib
erals would do nothing to mend matters
The people hope that the strongly ma
tional instincts of Lord Salisbury and his
friends will bring them to some plan for
the abatement of the general depres
sion. That is all the Toryism the elec-'
tions stand for. Thus far the Tories have
not justified these expectations. Lord
Salisbury has declared that protection to
the English farmer is not to be thought of.
A commission has been constituted to in
quire into the needs of English farming,
and not protectIonist has been given
place on it, as Mr.. James Lowther points
out If such action had been had before
the elections 1t would have been worth
two score of seats to Lord Rosebery.
1t remains to be seen if the Tories can
deal more effectively with the silver prob
lem. That, indeed, is the real farmers
question in Great Britain. Until foreign
competition was complicated with this the
British farmer held mis- own against Amer
lea and other gold using countries. 1t is
the competition of countries which use
silver that has forced down the prices of
produce for both England and America,
and has made it impossible for the British
farmer to go on growing wheat.-fhila-

ORATORS HAVE THE TOWN
Repeal of the Ordinance Forbid
ding Meetings on Street
Corners.
Even the Lonely Light in the City
Hall Park Is Ordered to Be
Discontinued.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
9OS Broadway. Dec. II,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN L FRANCISCO GALL,
9OS Broadway, Dec. II. !
Street meetings have been resumed in
Oakland, after having been tabooed for
year. The repeal of the ordinance pro-
hibiting meetings on the streets was prac-
tically forced by the nightly scenes around
the City Hall. When street meetings were
prohibited all the religious, socialist, labor
and political orators made the City Hall
park and the steps to the hall their head
quarters. On some occasions the con-
fusion and din was so great and the in
element to belligerency SO marked that
the police were forced to take fiery orator
into the Jail and keep him there till the
crowd had dispersed.
One of the most important features in
the nightly trouble around the City Hall
has been single electric light. This light
hangs before the bandstand, and offered
such inducement to speak from the ros-
trum that free fights frequently occurred
This and the noise at the City Hall steps,
and the fact that the grass at the park has
disappeared in large plats, caused the
Council to reconsider the prohibitory
measure.
1t was concluded that so long as the
street orators were bound to exercise their
powers it were better that they should be
distributed ali over town, even with the
risk of a few being run over by electric
cars, than that they should make evening
hideous by massing III the center of the
city.
Tonight the light before the bandstand
was not connected with the current, and
the orators waited in darkness and in
vain. Then it was learned that at last
nights meeting the Council had passed an
order repeating the street-speaking ordi-
nance, and added rider directing that
the solitary light in the City Hall park
should be discontinued. There was an
indignation meeting improvised in the
darkness, but nothing was done, and the
man who came to demand that Cleveland
should not recede from his present stand
till John Bull had been severely taught
several lessons went away in disgust, as a
policeman informed him that there was a

at that. This brought the "open letter"
which demanded "proof or a retraction." /"
Which it was that the board had now come
to make excited good deal of interest for
the moment.
Dr. Smith, after some preliminary busi-
ness, arose and addressed the board. He
stated that his remark at the Health
Board meeting was made upon authority,
and that authority was the president of
the Health Board. He said the public
statement was not considered fully or it
would not have been made. He further
said that he intended no reflection on the
School Board or School Department.
The president of the School Board said
he was surprised that another physician,
a member of the Board of Health, had
given such information, obtained in his
practice, but as it had been frankly stated
by DIR. Smith, he was in favor of meeting
him half way and retracting the open let
ter, which reflected upon him SO severely.
A retraction was therefore ordered, and
the matter thus amicably ended.

made Improvements on the strip by filling
it in in part, and thus id the basis of its
claim. An agent of the Southern Pacific
Company appeared before the Board of
Municipal Trustees on Monday night and
requested that the city select some other
part of the marsh as its share. He stated
that the roadways would not remain per-

the two bridges would some day give way

declined to accede to the request.
