| The falls of Niagara have at last been
harnessed and the perpetual energy of
that colossal water power has been
| transported 10y overhead conductors
| that convey 4O,OOO-horSe power over n
| distance of twenty-Seven miles TO the
city of Buffalo. This is one of the
maryels of the age and the fOrerunner
of still greater marvels in applied
science which has so enormously multi
piled the productive powers of the world
within the past twenty-five years. The
very first revolution created by the
Niagara falls power will be noted in
the diSuse of all other motors by the
street railway system of Buffalo. The
appliance of Niagara falls electricity for
lighting and heating that city must in
cyitably follow at IN early day. That
it will also rcyolutionize the Industrial
production within radius of fifty
miles must be sclf-evident. As vet
this is the experimental stage of the
new potential force. In due time we
may expect the loss of energy by
long distance transmission to be less
cned, and it is not at all impossible that
it may be carried rs far as New York
City and distributed at the great fac
tory cities between Buffalo and ,he sea
board. In that event it will do almost
as much for cheapcning mill and fac
tory products as has the use of natural
gas for Pittsburg and the manufactur-

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Since the election
Of Mcth ley the leading American stocks
have advarccd S6ipOOOOO i'm value. Each
iay brings renewed proof that Mckinley is
the advance agent of prosperity.
Boston Globe: There is always in times
II prosperity a feeling of confidence that

currency to the extent that there is bust
ness to call it forth. And we are cOmine
10 prosperous times.

going up because Bryan was to be elected?
Wheat is higher now than it was before

they once discussed dollar wheat"
Kansas City Star: The remarkable re-
yiyal Of industrial activity in all the manu-
featuring centers of the United States sur
passes anything anticipated by even the
most wildly enthusiastic supporters of Me
kinIey, and it is reaching magnitude
which makes it impossible for the political
peSslmist OF the recent campaign to make
any intelligent comment on it. They are
literally stunned into silence by the prompt
and positive proof of the claims put forth
by the opponents of free silver. that all
the country needs is a cessation of the
financial agitation and chance to do bust

Chicago Tribune: 4 compilation of Wall

elapsed since the election Of Mckinley shows
that the leading stocks have advanced
nearly $10OOO,o0O in price. This extraordi-
nary boom has been the direct and prophe-

money campaign. Investors have been ini-

poured into the market with a rush which

AS TO MIXING OTR OWN CHARTER,
The Douglas delegation TO the legiSla-
ture is said to favor the enactment of
law next winter that will enable
Omaha to make its own charters. This
is by no means new idea. The home
rule principle as applied TO the govern
ment of cities has been introduced in
several cities on the Pacific coast
notably in san Francisco, where it has
given universal satisfaction. More
recently it has also been placed on trial
ut st. Louis and Kansas city. 1t viii
be borne in mind that this reform in
charter making was advocated by The
Bee years ago. both in the interest of
our taxpayers ana for the relief of state
legislatures, whose valuable time is
squandcrcd in periodic contests, in
which the Omaha charter is made tn
foot ball of iobbrrs and trading-stocE
for appropriation grabs. But when the
effort was made by The Bee during the
