Ten-wheeI Passenger Engines.

Ach." neeI Faseenger Engines.
Mention was made recently that the Wa
bash would. in ordering new engines, pur-
chase the ten-wheel passenger engine. and
that on the Big Four this type of engine
had beel found satisfactory. Those recent
~ received by the Vandalia are ten-wheel
engines. and a large per cent. of the new
engines purchased by the Baltimore & Ohio
were of the same pattern. 1t is said the
motive power men of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn are almost unanimous in recommend
ing the adoption of some kind of a heavy
ten-wheel passenger engine for the Penn
sylvania lines west and particularly for the
Pittsburg division of the Panhandle and
the eastern division Of the Fort Wayne
Under the prevailing conditions and cir
cumstances on the divisions named fast
time Is not so much OF a desideration as
increased hauling capacity. and II has been
found that the largest and heaviest eight
wheel engines are not capable of making
schedule time with thirteen-car trains on
steep grades. 1t will be many years yet
before the curves and adverse grades of the
Panhandle can be eliminated. and. so far
as the Fort Wayne is concerned. there are
grades on the eastern division between
Rochester and Crestline which necessitate
the heaviest kind of engines with the pas
senger trains which are now being moved
over that line. In view of these facts the
motive power officials have almost con-
Guided that the present Class Y ten-wheeI
passenger mogul comes near being the per-
feet locomotive. and 1t is highly probable
that new type in the nature of a modi-
ication of the Glass X Will be adopted. The
present Glass engines on the Panhandle
are getting pretty well worn out in the
hard service to which they are subjected
and 1t is the same with the Class o and
Class engines on the Fort Wayne so
that II will not be long before large num-
Der OF new machines will be needed. The
recent test OF the Glass L. engine, No. 1898
loaned by the Pennsylvania to the Pennsyl-
there was not a better eight-weel engine In
the world. Lut this did not lessen the faith
OF the officials in the superior efficacy of
the ten-wheoler with its increased tractive
power. and the next new engine adopt5d
for the Pittsburg lines will probably be a
monster ten-v Neei simple engine. modelled
somewhat after the style of the Schenec-
tady ten-wheelers of the compound type
which were tried on the Pennsylvania and
condemned some years ago.

STOP THE FIGHT ON BRE1DENTHAL

Certain papers have been making
statements to the effect that Chairman
Breidenthal spent money amounting
to thousands of dOllsrs-snd that, too,
the peoples money $3.50 to defeat the
nomination of Ex-Governor LeWelling
at the Abilene convention, that he has
been using other public moneys for i'm
proper purposes, and Is now deVising
ways and means to procure more for
like unlawful uses.
If the men and papers who peddle
such stuff as this believed what they are
saying and had the courage to prose-
cute Mr.. Breidenthsl In the courts,
where he could meet them on common
ground, 1t would be a relief noe only to
him but to a patient public. It is un-
fortunate that the plane Of party poll
tics is so low that men have come to
think that filth is food.
Nobody who knows John Breiden-
thai will believe this sort of stuff about
him. He is an honest, clean. handed
man. What Is more, he is frank and
open in his work, concesling nothing.
He looks you in the face and tells the
truth.
Let this dirty fight be stopped. The
work Of the campaign has begun, and
there Is not man In the State so well
equipped for its management as John
w. Breidenthsl. His experience, his
knowledge Of the State and of it's poll
tics and men, fits him peculiarly we'll

ury officials to mean that the parity is
to be maintained by surrenderIng the
governments option to redeem In
either silver coin or gold coin as may
best suit the convenience and condi.
tion Of the treasury, and allow the note
holder to say what kind Of coin he will
receive In the redemption transaction.
1t amounts to the same thing as o

In wheat where he he had entered into
written contract reserVing the option
to pay in either wheat or corn.
The government has promised to pay
in coin, and the word coin In this as in
all like cases, means coin made of sill
YER or gold according to law. If it
meant gold coin the law would some
where 80 state.
And ss to the parity, the law settled
that long ago. Parity relates to the
ratio. In 1887 the ratio was fixed at
16 to (exsctly 1888 to y, and it has
not been changed since, except as to
subsidiary coins, and they are not a
legal tender beyond $5. Any debt
that can be paid with gold coin can be
paid with silver dollars, unless the con-
tract otherwise expressly 80 stipulstes,
The Sherman law recognizes this fact
In the words, ''lt being the established
policy of the United States to maintain
the two metals at a parity with each
other, upon the present legal ratio or
such ratio as may be provided by law"
The present legal ratio is Is to /. On
that ratio all our legal tender coins
have been made. 1t is the duty of the
Secretary to exercise his discretion al
ways In favor Of the govfrnment he
represents and not against it. The
parity Is maintained when he Obeys

ABOUT THE PARITY CLAUSE IN THE
SHERMAN LAW.

SHERMAN LAW.
Senator John Sherman was q mem
ber Of the Conference committee of
the two houses of Congress that re-
ported the bill which sfterwRrd became
known as the Sherman law, because
that Senator is recognized as the su-
thor of the parity" clause which has
oCcasioned so much trouble by paving
the way for redeeming the treasury
notes In gold coin.
The parity clause reads at being
the established policy Of the United
States to maintain the two metals at q
parity with each other, upon the pres
ent legal ratio or such ratio ss may be
provided by law"
The sentence In which the parity
clause appears is part of section 2 Of
the act, and reads az follows:
That upon demand OF the holder Of any of
the treasury notes herein provided for, the
Secretary Of the Treasury shall, under such
regulations as he may prescribe, redeem such
notes In gold or silver coin, ct his discretion,
it being the established policy of the United
States 20 maintain the two metals at parity
with each other, upon the present legal ratio
or such ratio As may be provided by law.

THE rARIFF NOT IN ISSUE.

The evident desire of the Repubn.
cans to Sidetrsek the money question
and substitute the tariff, will prove to
be q waste of energy. The proposition
that the tariff had anything to do with
the panic Of 1893, or that any kind of a
revision of our tariff schedules would
sllsy the present discomfort or In any
degree effect benefeially the business
interests and promote the general wei
fare of the people, is not tenable, and
this is easy of demonstration.
There can be no question but that
the election Of a Democrat President
In 1892 was evidence of q desire on the
part of the neople for q change from
and not toward or beyond Mckinley.
ism. 1t was generally expected that
the new President would recommend
reduction of tariff duties before asking
for any other legislation. But his ad-
ministratiOn had hardly got into har-
ness before proclamation was issued
calling Congress together In order-not
to revise the tariff or do anything In
that direction, but to make some impor-
tsnt changes in our financial legislation.
And when Congress convened, August
Z, 1893, that body was informed that
the object in calling the extraordinary
session was to procure the repeal Of
the purchasing clause Of the Sherman
law.
That is evidence conclusive that 1t
was the money question then, as it Is
now, that was causing the irritation
In what are known as business circles.
But there is additional evidence, If any
be required. While the Harrison ad-
ministration was yet in power, Senator
Sherman introduced q bill In the Sem
ate proposing to do just what this ex.
ira session Of Congress was called to
do-to repeal the last Vestige Of legIs-
lstlon requiring the coinage Of silver
dollars.
