BALTIMORE TUNNEL.
An Underground Railroad Seven
Miles Long Through Baltimore.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad tunnel
has Just been completed under the city of
Baltimore Its length is about seven miles,
there being double tracks the whole length
of the line and four tracks the same
level for a small part. For $3.50 feet the
tunnel lies beneath Howard street, one of
the most important in the city, lined on
either side by buildings six and eight
stories high, and the surface of which is
used by a cable read and by lines of cleo
trio and horse cars. Howard street is
eighty-two feet wide, except at the north
ern end of the tunnel, where it is con-
tracted to seventy-two feet. The top of the
tunnel is from three feet six inches to forty
feet below the top OF the pavement. The
excavations were through hard rock. sand,
gravel and Euller's EARTH and pockets OF
Gutcksand and water were struck, SO that
every condition was encountered and over
come.
six feet. The roof is Of ironglrder con-
struction, with buckle plates oVerlaid with
concrete and a covering OF sand. The total
thickness of the roof including the pave
ment, is four feet ten inches. AT some sec
tons the roof OF the tunnel is just beneath
the ca BILE trench.
What is of particular interest in the oper-
alton of this road is the use OF electricity
as a motive power. Electric engines weigh
ing n!nety-five tons haul ali trains. There
is a grade of s in some sections Of the tun-
mel These engines viii run fifty miles an
hour and are powerful as steam loco
motives. The weight is on eight driving
wheels, sXty-two inches in diameter
They are the largest electric engines ever
built The motors are of the gearless type,
with q current OF 200 amperes under
pressure of 100 volts.
Electric locomotives have been success
fll before this. In 1891 the largest one
built up TO that time weighed twenty-one
and a half TONS with driving wheels forty
two inches in diameter. Tie progress in
four years in the construction OF these
engines has thus been remarkable.
The tunnel in Baltimore has been built
by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to pass
its New York and Washington trains, pass
enger and freight through the city without
ferrying them, as has heretofore been
necessary.

Senator Pritchard,

For the first time since the fourth day
of March, '73, North Carolina has Re-
publican in the Senate,
For this reason-if for no other-the
swearing in of Jeter G. Pritchard as
the successor to Senator Jarvis, yester-
day, was an event of more than usual
interest. Mr. Pritchard arrived at the
Capitol early in the afternoon, and
made himself known to Secretary Cox,
is also from North Carolina, and by
whom he was escorted into the Senate
chamber. The new Senator is q man
OF medium size, with black hair and
mustache, and with face that instant
ly impresses one as indicating strong
character and agreeable temperament.
He wore black Prince Albert suit,
but his shoes-thick soled and made of
heavy Electromagnetic the noun
tain region, which is his home. He
was escorted to the desk by the retiring
Senator, Mr.. Jarvis, and Immediately
after being sworn in was seized in tri-
umph by Senator Chandler, who took
him into the Republican cloak room
and introduced him to all the Republi-
cans within reach. Mr.. Pritchard will
sit next to Mr.. Chandler, and will be
certain not to lack for admirable tut
tion as to the duties of Southern Re-
publican.
Mr.. Pritchard is but thirty seven
years of age. In the next Congress the
same State will have the two youngest
Senators, as Marion Butler, the Popu-
list Senator elect is only thirty one.
MIR. Pritchard is native of East Ten
nessee, but has spent most of his days
in the Old North State. He comes
from the extreme southwest corner of
North Carolina, his home being on the
mountains, about twenty five miles
from Asheville. He is finely formed
man, about six feet tall, and has a
manner. He was mere boy at the
outbreak of the war. His father was q
Union man, but was drafted into the
Confederate army. Senator Pritchard's
last recollection of him is seeing him
mounted on horse, his feet and hands
bound, ,on his way to the front, where he
died, an unwilling conscript in cause
in which his sympathies were not en-
listed. The new Senator isl staunch
Republican, having been actively en-
gagged in every campaign in his State
since ne was eighteen years old.
Mr.. Jarvis left the Senate Chamber
as soon as his successor had ualitied.
During his absence the Senate voted
him two days pay for he has been
serving since the 22d, on which day
Mr.. Pritchard was elected. Washing

A bill has been introduced in our
State Legislature to force all makers of
patent medicines to publish the formula
of their remedies. Do our Legislators
understand that if such bill should
become law, thousands of dollars
would be lost to the State? The drug
gists whose principal trade is in SO call
ed patent medicines would be deprived
of this income, and the people of Ten.
nessee compelled to send their money
out of the State, as anyone can easily
understand that not one reputable
manufacturer in the United States
would give his formula away. The
concerns who now spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars in Tennessee
would simply leave Tennessee aloue,
withdrawing their patronage from the
newspapers, freight and express bust.
ness would suffer, and the people of
Tennessee would feel the loss in more
ways than one. No doubt the bill is
the product of brain that has made a
failure in the medical profession and
thinks he can compel the people to pat
ronize him. Well educated and sue
cessful physicians do not autagonize
patent medicines, as many of these are
used by them in their regular practice.
We therefor, most earnestly protest
against the passage of this bill, and
insist that our Legislators legislate, not
for single class, but for the whole
community whom they represent

LONG ISLAND LOSING ITS TAIL.

Inroads of the Sea Causing Alarm to
Property Owners at Orient Point.
Long Island, which looks on the mop
like a big fish about to swallow New
York city, is apparently being slow
" swallowed by the ocean. Portions
of its shores ave disappeared beneath
the waves, and now the northern fork
of it's huge tail is vanishing. About
two miles Of Orient point, that formed
a sandy beach two years ago, is now
under fifteen feet of water. The light
house on the point was six rods from
the sea a few years 1t has since
been toppled over by the sea, and only
. small part of the surrounding beach
is visible.
The bluffs on both the sound and the
bay side of Orient point have been
sinking at the rate of about ten or
twelve feet a year. The same state OF
affairs is true of Montauk point, but
there the bluffs jut up SO abruptly and
so high above the sea that the rising
| of the water is not so noticeable. A
| rise of a foot or two on the low shores
near Peconic bay will submerge acres
Of land. Much of the threatened land
on Orient point forms fertile farms,
and the steady advance of the shore
line is causing no small concern to the
owners. The water has in several
places found its way across a low spot
on the point from the sound to the
bay. The result will be to ultimately
divide the peninsula into a series Of
small islands, similar to Plum, Little
Gull and Great Gull islands, all OF
which were doubtless once a part of
the mainland, and were cut off by the
rise of the sea. The village of Orient
Is situated in a particularly narrow and
low portion Of the peninsula, and the
next serious inroad Of the ocean will
probably occur there. In that case
two thousand acres of LAND and a vii
1age of one thousand people will have
to be abandoned.
The value Of the property threat
ened is placed by the assessors at six
hundred thousand dollars. The mar.
rowest point in the peninsula is a little
to the west of Orient, between that
village and East Marion. The town
of Southold, in which both of the vii
lagos are included, has spent consider
able money in protecting this isthmus
Assemblyman Higbie has had a bill
passed by the assembly appropriating
fifteen thousand dollars for a sea wall
A few years ago the government built
q breakwater between Shelter island
and Greenport to protect Greenport
harbor and its bordering uplands
When the larger portion of Gardiner
island became submerged, the ser
rushed in and, notwithstanding the
breakwater, caused a powerful under

A famous landscape painter had to
call in a doctor to see his wife, who
was suffering from bronchitis. After
he had examined the patient the doc
tor recommended the husband to take
q small brush, dip it in tincture Of
iodine and lightly paint the lady's back
with it.
The artist took up his brush, and,
after dipping it in the tincture, pro-
ceeded to carry out the doctors pre-
scription. But his artistic temperament
soon got the better of his sick nursing
qualities.
Mistaking his wife's back for a can
vas, instead of simply applying the
lotion, he sketched out a landscape
and gradually peopled it with figures
and put in all the details complete.
The patient finding the operation q
rather lengthy one, asked her husband
If he had not finished. And the latter,
receding q few steps to examine his
work, replied:

NOTHING SACRED IN Is TO 1.

1t is passing strange how many
able and most thoughtful men
have persuaded themselves that
the ratio of Is to 1 is "a Demo
cratic principle" The argu-
ment, which satisfies them is
that it is the ratio at which sill
yer and gold have been coined
through many Democratic ad-
ministrations of the Govern
ment. The argument is abso-
lutely faulty. Suppose a five
mill tax on every dollar of prop
erty. without a variation, had
been levied by Democratic adj
ministrations in this State would
that make five mill tax "a Dem
ocratic' principle" which must
bind the party hand and foot, if
a four mill tax would raise neces-
sary revenues, or if the expenses
of the State require a six mill
tax?
The rate of taxation is a mere
incident, a matter of detail; the
Democratic principle is the rails
ing of sufficient revenue, rot too
little nor too much, to meet the
expenses Of the Government &c
onomically administered. The
ratio of coinage is also a mere
matter of detail; the Democratic
principle is to put enough metal
in the coins of the United States
to make them intrinsically worth
100 cents in the dollar.
It appreximates pure folly to
argue that a certain tax or a
fixed ratio of value between two
commodities can be a political
principle. If North Cardinals
wealth were suddenly TO be
quadrupled, the State tax ought
to be one-fourth of that which is
now levied. If new gold fields
were discovered and the gold
product became in ounces as
much as the product of silver,
gold bullion would soon be
worth per ounce no more than
silver bullion, and the coinage
ratio should be 1 to /. There's
nothing sacred about the Is to 1.
The ratio must depend upon the
value of the metal in the coin. i
the United States is going to
have Sound Money. At the
present market value of silve.
and gold, about thirty times a
much silver must be pu5 in
silver dollar as there is gold il
a gold dollar, to make the silve
dollar genuinely worth 1O'
cents.

Pension Frauds Unearthed.

KANSAS City, Mo-, Sept. 16.
"A special to the World from
Perry, 0. IT,, says:
Great excitement exists at
Pawnee, thirty miles east of here
over indictments found against
officials and lawyers of the coun-
ty for defrauding the Govern
ment of Pensions. The num-
Der of pensioners have increased
at Pawnee wonderfully in the
past six months and Special
Agent Laferty has been investi-
eating the matter for several
months. Late Saturday night
the grand jury returned forty in
dictments against prominent men
and officials at Pawnee county,
and three were arrested There
are over 100 fraudulent pensions
in the county all of which have
been entered in the past few
months. The three men indicted
gave heavy bonds.

TOO MUCH FOR THE COUNTRY,

AS the st, Louis Republic
says: The Republican meeting
at Springfield, O., at which the
keynote of the Ohio State cam
paign and the Mckinley presl
Dental campaign was struck, is
no revelation to The Republic.
We have insisted that it would
be impossible for the Republi-
cans to avoid a tariff campaign
next year if they so desired. and
that there was no indication that
they desired to avoid one, with a
division in their ranks on the sill
yer question as the alternative of
such a course.
TheSpringfield meeting proves
conclasively that as far as the
Ohio Republicans can control
the action of their party the
tariff question will indeed be the
"overshadowing ISSUE" It is
doubtless a part of the Ohio ex-
pectation and belief that the ad-
option of such a platform would
make Mckinley the logical can
didate for the presidency; for the
Springfield meeting furnished
evidence that the Ohio Republi-
cans have at last become hars
monized in support of a presiden'
tial candidate.
It will be a great source OF
strength to Mr.. Mckinley tic
have a solid and enthusiastic de-
legation from his own State, and
that such a State as Ohio, be-
hind him in the convention. Blu
we stick to the opinion that the
Republicans, after expressing
the Mckinley tariff doctrine, al
the dictation of the great pro
tected interests, will not dare &C
to the extent OF nominating Nc
Kinley as a candidate. That il
would be logical to nominate
Mckinley on such a platform is
admitted, but the Republicans
would rather win than be logical
and they feel that Mckinley OF
a Mckinley platform would bt
too much for the country.
