zine and that of fender on a street car is very different; the object of the former is to throw the animal or thing struck away from the wheels of the train without regard to the effect on the person, animal or thing struck, but the chief object of 8 street car fender is to prevent injury or loss of life to per sons using the public streets, and should be of such construction as to do as little injury as possible in case the person is struck by the fender, and to catch or pick up the person struck or fallen upon the track. It will be readi- ly seen that much ingenuity is required to invent and construct fender which shall unfailingly, or even uniformly, accomplish these purposes. The diffl- culty is further complicated by the fact that fender projecting four or five feet in front of a car brings it just so much nearer a person who might other wise escape being struck, so that many object to any platform fender, and in- sist that proper wheel fender below the body of the car is calculated to meet more requirements of safety, with less objectionable features than d platform fender. In New Haven this was practically the universal senti- ment, but elsewhere the preference has been for the platform fender. Expert ence alone can determine which is the safer and preferable.
 m POWER BRAKES.
 We last year expressed the opinion that public safety would require the adoption of power brakes for electric cars, certainly where trailers were used. We have no means of knowing what accidents, if any during the year past would have been avoided had such brakes been in use, but their efficiency is such as to give force to the conten- ton that they are a greater protection against injury to persons on the track than any kind of fender. The need of them is, of course, much less where a low rate of speed is maintained in city streets, but when heavier, double truck cars are run on suburban lines, and when such cars come to run over the present steam roads at much higher speed, we think the adoption of this kind of brake will be found essential, not only for the protection of persons who may be upon or crossing the tracks, but also for the safety of trav- elers in the cars.
 Twenty-seven street railway compa nies reported to the commissioners, two more than last year, but of these neith- er the Newington Tramway company nor the Portland Street Railway com pany had commenced business, and the East Hartford & Glastonbury, and the South Manchester Light Power X Tramway company, were operated by the Hartford Street Railway company, and the Hartford, Manchester & Rock vile TramWay company, respectively, and made no report of operations. The East Hartford & Glastonburyonly re- ports it's authorized capital and cost of construction; the Newington gives only its stock authorized and issued, it's funded debt and cost of construction; the Portland only it's stock issued; and the South Manchester it's length capi- tai stock, cost of construction and the $1962 paid as dividends; neither of the first three named reporting length of road.

Blaine on Silver.

Speaking of the characterization of
silver by the act Of 1879, James G.
Blaine, the great successful leader of
the Republican party for SO many years,
in the senate, Feb Z, 1873, said:
II believe gold and silver coin to be
the money of the consti itution-indeed
the money OF the American people an
terror to the constitution which the
great organic law recognized as quite
independent Of its own existence. No
power was conferred ON congress to de-
clare that either metal should not be
money Congress has therefore, in my
Judgment DO power 10 demanetize sill
yer any more than to demonetize gold
no power to demonetize either than to
demonetize both If, therefore, silver
has been demonetized, am in favor of
nemonetiztng it II its coinage has been
prohibited, ] am in favor Of ordering it
to be resumed; II 1t has been restricted
! am in favor Of having It enlarged. In
logic and legal construction it would
be difficult TO show where and why the
power Of congress over silver is greater
than over gold greater over either than
over the two"

We are told that we aye separated from
the molten liquid which fills the inferior
of the earth by crust Of earthly matter"
which is only 1S miles thick, and in some
places tho crust is actually believed to be
much thinner. In Idaho for an instance,
It would not take much argument to make
some of the biologists believe thatit is less
than l, 800 feet to the molten interior out
posts of the globe The reason that tie
earth 8 shell is believed to be very thin in
the region named is the known fact that
some of the greatest mountains tn that
state are actually settling down through
It According to recent measurements it
has been ascertained that ct least four diff
ferent peaks in the state mentioned are
from IA to 30 feet lower than they We're in
1880. 1t is believed that these mountains
have been gradually sinking into the earth
for years, but no cause has us yet been as
signed for the phenomepa. 1t will be re-
membered by readers of"Notes For the
Curious" that we recently gave on article
in this department concerning the sinking
mountains Of Georgia, which are considered
the greatest wonders in the south st

SENATOR HILL IN 1893.

He Declared For Free Silver and Said It
Should Be the 1ssoe In l898
On July IS, 1893, Senator Hill in q
letter to The Constitution, announced
that the Democrats must make free
coinage the issue for the presidential
campaign of 1896. The letter was per-
sonal and hence was not published at
the time it was written. About year
ago, however, Senator Hill authorized
its publication and SO general has been
the demand for ii Of late that The Con-
stitution herewith produces that part Of
it relating to the currency question.
Senator Hills advice has been taken by
the Democratic party. This Ia what he
wrote:
As TO the repeal Of the Sherman law, favor
the unconditional repeal Of the law. ! have al
ways been opposed to it. 1t should be ahan-
doned by general consent Ny views were par
TALLY expressed in my recent Talnirany letter,
| which you have undoubtedly seen. Personal
| ly should prefer not to repeal the law until
an acceptable substitute was provided, tn or
| der to render more probable the adoption of
such substitute and not because approve at
all of tho Sherman silver law. But from q
party point Of view the wisest course is uD-
conditional repeal. The country expects it,
| and tbe rarty will be found fairly well united
| in favor of it. Therefore it is unwise while
agreeing upon the general proposition, to
waste our time In agreeing upon substitute
| pending the repeal. Let the repeal be made at
once, and let Us differ as to other financial
matters afterward. ! am IN favor Of binetal-
| lism as the issue of the future. We shpuld seek
| TO Ireep that issue to the front We should not
strive for temporary success OF compromise.
| We should be for free coinage under an inter
| national agreement, II it be possible to pro
| cure one, and, II not possible. then for tnde-
pendent bimetallism. This is the great goal
| for which we should strive 1t cannot be done
at oncs. Our friends must not be impatient.
Tho people must be educated The unexpect-
ed action of India and the general sentiment
of the noneyed classes conspire against US ut
| this time. do not believe in the Bland bill
or any other measure which guarantees any
thing less than an unrestricted coinage for
gold and silver anke as pledged in the Demo
cratic national platform. Let ps prepare not
| for present victory. but for victory upon that
issue in 1896 The repeal of the Sherman law
| will not give the relief which Is anticipated.
It will aid business temporarily, but in year
times viii be hard and the demand for peTma-
nent financial relief will he irresistible We
should continue to hoia out free coinage as the
| goal which the country must ultimately reach.
Tho triumph of the monometallists will be bat

NEW YoRns FOOD SUPPLY.
Enough Always on Hand to Withstand

If the city Of New York and the

deprived Of the food supplies which in
normal times come in daily in large
Quantities how long would il be before

That is u very hard question to answer,
for the reason that there are such in-
equalities of purchasing capacity in
New York society that some go hungry
in times Of greatest prosperity for lack
of means. while the great majority eat
more than is good for them. Undoubt-
edly the number Of those who always 60
hungry would be increased after two or
three days of siege, and then day by
day this number would increase until
the public authorities would feel COM
pelled to take possession of the food sup
plies and distribute them among the
people With the exception of milk and
some other things, the supply of meat,
poultry, hardy vegetables and fruits
would last for two months at the present
rate of consumption. If all the supplies
were taken charge Of at the beginning
of a siege-and this could easily be
done-the food within New York could
be made to last for four months at least.

The last new craze in Paris is said to be
the wearing of lighted lantern as per-
sonal ornament. The fashion has not been
adopted in honor OF NJ. Rochefort, the once
dreaded Lanterne man, but originated with
speculative manufacturer, whose petites
lanternes were bought by tens of thou
sands at the fair of Neuilly. The lantern Is
very small and neat, and made in Gothic
form after an ancient model It Is only Of
tin, but is sufficiently solid 1t has well
fitted glass plates, is about the size of a
walnut, burns for some hours, and Is sold
at the price of 8 sous Almost everybody
who returned from the fair to Paris on
Sunday last, as correspondent tells us,
looked as If he were outwardly symbolizing

men and boys had the little lanterns In
their hats and the ladies carried them In
