President Cleveland's remark that
"a. cause worth fighting for is worth

mind Of the New York Sun. the letter
which President Cleveland wrote to
Mr. Catchings in 1894 after the passage
of the Wilson German bill, and this
statement which he made therein: 81

of the Democratic party who believe
in tariff reform and who know what it
is, who refuse to accept the results
embodied in this bill as the close of

The Sun along with others would
like to know how Mr.. Cleveland can
make his remark relative to the cur
rency agree with his remark relative
to the tariff. If the cause of tariff
reform" is worth fighting for why not
fight it to the end? Yet Mr.. Cleve-
land nor his party have given any sign
that they intend to do so. Nor have
they show their courage to acknowl
edge their mistake. They have not
had the hardihood to avow their de-

they mapped out in 1892, nor do they
show any inclination to turn back.
Evidently they would repeat their
tariff folly if they had it to do over
again although ashamed of it. Their
performance condemns them and their
cowardice now disgraces them. The

Air As q Motive Force.

The age or air. why not! II seems
as possible as did the age of electricity
IS years ago. An eminent professor,
who has given much time and atten-
ton to the subject. is confident that If
compressed air motors had received a
fraction of the study that has been
given to electric motors, we should
long since have enjoyed the possession
of devices of admitted efficiency for
the propulsion of street cars and or
binary machinery.
Already we may sleep on air. con-
tanned in pneumatic beds. We may ex-
pect air coverlets. we are confidently
expecting to travel upon the wings of
the wind within a few years, it is not
beyond the powers of the Imagination
to conceive of air being compressed by
cur water powers and distributed to
run railway trains. the machinery of
factories and-possibly-polit 1t
has already been declared possible to
transmit messages with the air as the
medium and without lines of wire.
But while it is all right to dream of
such possibilities it is proper to turn
the attention to what is already prac-
teal For several years compressed
air has been put to many uses. 1t has
been employer to operate drills in
mines, to work the brakes on railway
trains, to carry parcels. cut glass,
operate light machinery, dust carpets,
shear sheep, run clocks. work pumps,
to refrigerate-to do great many
things for which, for special reasons,
steam was not well suited. In the
process of compression air gives out
great quantities of heat, and in ex-
pansion during the operation of a
motor the same quantity of heat has
to be absorbed. In other words, in
doing work compressed air is a power
full refrigerant. In hot mines this
property is not Objectionable. but in
many cases it has been a serious draw
back. Airmotors have, accordingly. as
necessary feature, a device for returning
to the air some portion of the heatit lost
while being compressed.
But recently great advances have
been made in the construction of air
motors here and abroad, with the re-
suit that an efficiency of 90 per cent. is
obtained. it is stated, instead of the 50
per cent. formerly obtained. The
storage problem has been solved by
using seamless steel tubes, and the re-
frigerating effect is counteracted by
passing the air through hot water.
For some time past street cars have
been operated by compressed air in
France, but under conditions, it has
reproduced here. American traction
| companies have experimental with
various motors said to be suited to our
needs. but till recently without
satisfaction. The value of street
