THE Indian question is again becoming
prominent. Shall the Indian be exter-
minated or civilized? But can he be
civilized? The answer is assuredly in the
affirmative Captain Pratt would seem
to have demonstrated that much. The
success of the several Government In
dian schools supports the answer, and
the position achieved by the Indians Of
the Indian Territory confirms it.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

If our city authorities wish to ascertain
how genuine macadam street looks, how
smooth and unbroken is its surface, how free
from loose stone, Jagged points or any sort of
roughncss, let them procure the magazine
I-etriHg and Engineering for July, and on page
33 examine u Photographic view OF Gilpin
avenue Wilmington, Delaware. IL viii con-
vince those who think that very pretty piece
OF roadway on seventeenth street, in Sacra-
lnento, handsome it is. is very far from
being what it might have been made, for the
same sum that 1t cost. The simple truth is
that the City Trustees could not do greater
good for this city just now than TO devise
ways and means by which the city could own
a Pitts road roller, or a Gem City double
cylinder roller, or Columbian roller, or an
Erie machine-shop roller, or a Kelly Com
panv roller. or Harrisburg high grade roller,
or Brooklyn Pioneer roller, any of them or
one OF any of dozen other makes. Such Il
power roller weighing not less than fifteen
tons and adjustable to carry five tons more,
would save money 10 the taxpayers, give us
better streets of all kinds turn some of our
grayeled streets into pretty fair highways,
and in saving in the matter of repairing would
prove blessing.
If the mystery of the murder of the old

The perversity OF human nature passes COM
prehension. Here are the manufacturing
establishments all over the country restoring
old schedules OF wages, or voluntarily raising
the rates above them, and here are wage

warn workers TO beware. Beware OF what? an
increased wage, more money, the restoration
OF wages knocked down by hard times made
harder by senseless strikes?

TRANSMISSION OF POWER BY
ELECTRICITY.

Professor Haupt, engineer of the Gen.
eral Compressed Air Company. is out in
q book in which he assails the plans for
transmission of electric energy long dis
tances. He holds that the expert testimony
Is that the limit of economic transmission
is five miles, and that beyond that cleo
trioity cannot compete commercially with
steam power. In support he declares that
Siemens, Edison, Tesla and Unwin hold
the practicable limit of electric power
transmission is five miles He claims
that to use power of even 5000
voltage, transmitted twenty miles from
turbines, will cost twice as much as steam
power generated IN sta.
He quotes also an anonymous writer
claiming to be an expert, who says that
until dynamos are invented capable OF
producing at least 10000 voltage, until
expensive transformers are done away
with, until friction is reduced to a mimi
mum and induction largely eliminated,
electricity cannot be sent economically
over more than five miles OF wire In COM
petition with steam. 1t is said also in
this book, reviewed in the Engineering
Magazine. that the Niagara Falls Power
Company has declined to give to the
Buffalo authorities price for power by
electricity because sin question of trans
mission are involved the uncertainties of
the losses and cost of operation and main
tenanoe."
Mr.. Hsupt then proceeds to make an
argument for compressed air under the
reheating system, and concludes that the
latter is the coming power, as it can be
furnished $40 less than the cost Of steam
power per horse power.
But as against this position Mr.. Pope,
editor of the electrical department. of
Engineering, holds that electrical energy
can be transmitted twenty miles from
turbine, and compete commercially with
steam power, and he cites the works at
Great Darlington, Mass. erected by him.
in proof of the position. It is worthy of
note also that the Niagara Falls Com
pany's refusal WAS due largely to the un-
willingness of the company to furnish
the city lines with power. That company
desires to put up its own lines and fur
nish customers directly.
1t is inoonceivsble that company such
as the General Electrical Company, that
is now putting in the plant at Folsom.
and that risks everything, would venture
the capital it has invested by taking the
bonds ofthe Sacrame ento company and fur
nishing the necessary machinery, except
it knew that the economic transmission
of electrical power can be made to this
city.
The pamphlet of Professor Haupt will,
of course, excite g great deal of debate
among electrical engineers. If his posi-
ton is correct then the proposition on
which Sacramento ia basing such hopes
is deceptive. Against the ideas of Haupt
and his evident intsrestin forwarding the
cause of the compressed air company, we
should be satisfied to place the fact that
heavily capitalized electrical company is
putting up the Folsom plant after cslcu-
lating cost and income accurately and
becoming convinced that the Investment
is good one.

THE new woman in Colorado has put
islature in considerable mum bers last fail,
where she roared long and loudly in
treble shrill against the tyranny of man
and proceeded to pass a bill raising the
age OF consent to twenty-one. 1t was
signed and is now a law. But here, with
the year but half expired, is this same
'emancipated" woman in Colorado on
her marrow bones beseeching the Su-
preme Court to hold the law to be uncon-
stitutional. 1t appears that this re
form" law, when it is calmly and ration
ally examined, makes it a crime for any
man to marry woman less than twenty
one years of age, at least such marriage
would be illegal.
1t does not appear that these women
realize that the court must interpret the
law as it finds it. The new woman finds
the shoe pinching and imagines that the
court can give her relief, no matter
how clear the law is, and how much it is
within constitutional lines. AS the Leg
islature has the power, clearly, to fix
the age at which marriage may be recog-
nized as legal, it is very unlikely that the
Supreme Court will find the new law to
be unconstitutional simply because it
provides for more mature age within
which marriage may not be solemnized.
Let the new women Of Colorado take
their medicine--it is self-administered.

JUNE, 1895, may we'll be called the
canal month. Three very important
ship canals were opened in the latter
days of that month. The Kiel Canal
stands next in prominence to the Suez; it
cuts off the Danish peninsula and takes
the risks of Jutland out Of the calcula-
tions of commerce by ship. Next is the
Harlem Canal at New Y ork. 1t reduces
the passage from the Hudson River to
Long Island Sound some twelve miles.
and clears the choked condition of water
traffic of lower New York. The canal is
six miles long, though but fifty feet
wide, and has q mean depth of nine feet.
1t must be broadened and deepened, and
will be in the early future. The third
canal opened in June is the Sault Ste
Marie Canal, which gives the Canadians
q watercourse of nearly $500 miles within
their own jurisdiction. Canadian
boat can now sail from Ontario to Aus
tralasia without going into the jurisdic-
ton of any other country. The lock in
this canal is the second largest in the
world.

FEARS OF A NEW TROUBLE.
The news that Lieutenant Winston l..
Churchill "a lieutenant in the rifle corps Of
the British navy, mas been present at the
battle of La Trocha, in the province of Puerto
Principe, is creating much interest among his
friends here, and the newspapers are pre-
dieting all sorts of complications for Great
Britain on account of his presence with the
staff of General Valdez, the Spanish com
mandsr. Talking with reporter of the As
scciated press yesterday, Lady Churchill said
her son was not taking an active part in the
campaign, but that ne was merely in Cuba
on leave of absence Continuing, Lady
Churchill said that the Lieutenant had letters
from the British war Office and foreign
office to General Campos, who had placed him
on his staff, and had thus enabled him to
go to the front TO watch the operations of the
Spanish troops. But, she explained, he was
there merely as a spectator and was expected
to be back in London on January 1.

order marked the progress of the first days

assembled in crowds at the entrance to the

favoring Mr. Lecky. They also barred the
college doors and caused scenes Of riotous-
ness. The police quelled the disturbance.
