The Spanish government has pre-
pared a claim against the United
States on account of fil%ibustering ex-
petitions organized in this country.
Considering the scrupulous care with
which the neutrality laws have been
observed, Notwithstanding the fact
that popular sympathy has been with
Cuba in her struggle for freedom, we
think Spain had better not use undue
haste in presenting her bill. There
might be a disp 1sition aroused to get
the worth of the money claimed, by
giving active aid TO the Cubans.

Lord Russell had purposely made it so

sleep on the soft side of a plank, they
will be treated as 'tirst-class mis-

the slight difference that they will not

In the Turkish baths higher tempera-

COMPRESSED AIR.
Again Seeking Recognition as 8
Traction Medium

Ne SScNAuS RccOSTlthOn KS IL
Traction Medium.
Out OF its many failures in the past,
compressed air comes forward once
more to seek for the recognition as n
commercial traction medium which It's
hackers claim as it's due. Arrange
ments have been made to operate a
surface Railway car by compassionate
motor on the LenoX avenue line, New
York, during August. Much is prom
ised in the way of speed, smoothness
of travel and absence of shock. The
system a been most carefully de-
VlSed. and every precahtion has ap-
parently been taken to make it's first
appearance one which will lead to as
favorable comment al possible. The
test will be extremely interesting,
though whether it will result. as those
interested in compassionate traction
prophesy, in giving Il death blow to
the trolley, and in the speedy equip
ment of all the street railways in the
country with compassionate motor
cars, is somewhat doubtful. a COM
parison between compressed air and
electric systems of traction must
III bN DlNSNht ltolCNtlN z
conditions, favor the latter. The troll
ley, to begin with, is lighter; the cleo
trio generator and motor are the most
efficient pieces of machinery ever con-
structed, and in this regard the conf
pressor and compassionate motor can
never under commercial conditions ap-
preach them. The trolley is much SIM
pier and has fewer parts to maintain III
working order. In the electric system
the traction per pound of equipment is
much greater, the wear and teal of the
track Is much less severe the system
can operate continuously for days
without attention of any kind, and it
has the immense advantage of having
stood the test of practice, and its
claimeS are backed up by facts of daily
occurrence. On the other hama the prac-
ticability of compassionate traction
has lever been demonstrated. The
only way of increasing its car mileage
unless an elaborate system of under
ground piping is ~resorted to, is by in
creasing the pressure. This leads to
losses in heat, and in the reducing
valve, as well as in leakage, and the
high-preSSure system becomes abSo-
lutely prohibitive. 1t is hard to con-
ceive how this radical difficulty can be
surinounted. With l~ow-pressure COM
presSed-air traction out of date. and
high-pressure traction practically i'm
possible, the prospects of the system
do not appear promising. The posi-
bilities of electric Traction, on the con-
trary, have by no means attained their
full limit, and the long lead which
electric systems now have they are GER
tain TO maintain. Manufacturers of
electric railway equipments are watch
ing developments with much interest.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
A HINT FROM INDIA.
A Novel Solution of the Currency
Question Suggested by the
LOWELL MORNING TIMES

The Times says: 1t recently happened
that a resident of Lowell desired to pay a
bill due to a friend who Is a medical mis-.
sionary in British India. The friend from
that far-away country suggested that 1t be
paid IT, Ayers Sarsaparllla, which he said
is reckoned
"As Good as GoId:"
On application to the J. g. Aver Co., they
readily gave an order on their Bombay
agents for a quantity of Sarsaparilla to an
at cunt equivalent to the face of the bill.
A letter dated Rahuri, India, Oct. IS. has
Just been received in Lowell, which says:
The Sarsaplrilla was duly received and as
1t has a regular market quotation price was
converted into cash With the utmost facility.
Whatever may be said about other sarsapa-
terts, this fact remains. that Ayers Sarsa-
parilfa Is so we'll known in India that 1t

1uctuation in the value Of

as much as cotton or other staples. This Is
not the case with any other sarSaparilla of
American makers. Tine natives of this
country are very conservative, and unless
an article Is well known they are shy about
using 1t. A native will take a bottle of
Ayers Sarsaparilla from my dispensary and
walk off with it without raising a question
as TO Its purity or curative qualities. This
Is the truth, and 1 do not scruple to let you
make whatever use Of the statement you
may choose. The success of this remedy
