to lay the necessary pipe lines and con-
struct the terminal charging stations

to lay the necessary pipe lines and con-
struct the terminal charging stations"
Commissioner Black in his final report on
the experiments declared that ne found TO
warrant in the law to permit the laying OF
pipe lines to supply inter-roate, rechargins
stations. Naturally the supposition arises
that there can be no warrant In the law
for pipe line such as the receiver now
cooily proposes. to connect the terminal
stations with the power house. II the lat
ter why not the former? The streets
would be equally disturbed. The same sev-
enteen miles of trenches would have to be
laid and in the end the result would be the
same except that there would be lacking
the occasional traps in the streets covering
the connecting machinery. Thus by plan
ming to go ahead with the laying of pipe
lines the receiver takes direct issue with
Capt Black and his colleagues, who have
given their formal assent to his ccnclu-
sions.
This joining of issues strengthens the
suspicion that the air-motor ri OPPOSITION
lacks sincerity. The experiments have
shown that as a matter Of fact even the
terminal re-charging stations are unneccs-
sary and 1t Is positively known that Con-
gress did not intend that a single yard of
street surface should be disturbed to per-
init the operation Of the much-vaunted in
dependent motors There is. however, no
cause for surprise that the receiy, r should
ignore the Commissioners findings aud at
tempt to do that for which there IS mo
warrant in the law" and the refusal of
which will give him fimsy excuse for
delaying all progress toward rapid transit
pending an appeal to Congress such as he
and his associates are expert in .aaking.
Thus the present outlook Is for another
series of time-consuming motions that will
bridge over the period between now and the
converting of Congress when 1t is expected
that the railroad companies will make an
other appearance before the committees
with pitiful tales concerning their treat
ment by the authorities, who have denied
them certain statutory privileges, without
which rapid transit by compressed air is
impossible

Tam many In Danger.

Evidences are at hand that the great
Tammany machine in New York is disinte-
grating. Croker has publicly assumed
charge of the campaign, SO far nominat-
ing candidates and debating issues may
go. and his influence Is regarded now as
paramount. Sheehan, who was for some
time his lieutenant and later practically
his successor in power, has virtually re-
tired from the active leadership. The char
acter of the Croker nominations has caused
determined revolt against his dictation.
Some of the oldest and stanchest political
fighters of the metropolis have weakened
in their allegiance to the Tammany organi-
cation. One of the members of the execu-
tive committee yesterday resigned because
of his dissatisfaction with the outlook and
the leadership. The Henry George move
ment threatens to swamp Tammany on
election day, whoever may be elected
mayor, and the society cannot well survive
this shock. coming on the heels of other re-
verses. But the. most serious menace at
present is the possibility that the George
party. which has formally Endorsed the
whole of the Chicago platform, may be
declared to be the only true democratic
party, emitting it to the place on the off,
cial ballot usually given to Tammany, with
much of practical political value involved
in the possession of the right to use the
emblem and Tammany's workers are now
vigorously seeking to thwart the efforts of
the Georgeites to secure the Endorsement
of the state committee and the national
committee If those efforts should succeed
Tammany will be forced into tine space be-
yond the breastworks, in the position of
an irregular force, thus depriving it of the
enormous prestige that has been part of its
equipment for years. Croker is hardly the
man to unity the factions and individuals
now tending to desert the organization.
His name has lost much of its power as a
conjuring force. He lacks many of the
qualities that have made the leaders Of
Tammany in the past well-nigh irresisti-
ble and it is quite possible that the present
campaign may mark the demolition of that
organization known Tammany Hall that
has proved such a power in metropolitan
and national politics in the past. The same
elements, however, will probably find an
other medium for their political energies.

The Sewer Bond Issue

Capt. Blacks proposition to go before
Congress next VIII ter to secure the passage
OF bill authorizing the issue of bonds to
permit the completion of the sewage dis
posal plans is worthy of hearty support
The present method of securing what he
aptly terms "driblets'' of appropriations
for sewer work is unsatisfactory and does
not produce the most economical results
The sewers that ere constructed under this
system are, of course in conformity with
the general plans of the sewage commits
sion. adopted several years ago, ard thus
they will all be useful in the perfected
service contemplated by that body's recon-
mendations. But there is necessarily
certain percentage of loss due to the con-
slant Interruptions caused by the failure
of appropriations. the deterioration of the
ha!f-fnished work and similar incidental
results of the piece-meal performance of
TIE task The sewage disposal plars were
broadly based upon both the present and
the prospective needs CT the District There
IS insistent demand now for some bet
ter method of disposing of the sewage,
vhich is in fact permitted to dispose of
itself in a most menacing manner The
elaborate plans of the commission can be
carried out only by q large appropriation
or by the raising of the necessary money
in some such manner as the issuance of
bonds The citizens are in favor of the
latter plan. as being more just, more bus
ii4ess-like and more economical in the end
and ii is TO be hoped that the Engineer
Commissioner will persist in his intention
10 seek to persuade the House to pass the
nee essary legislation.

Mr.. Bryan, accor ling to report, is going
to the assistance of his friends in Ken
lucky. They are calling for him. He will
pass through the state this week en- route
to Nashville to the exposition, and return
ing from there will make several speeches,
in Kentucky.
The demand for him comes from what
last year was the silver stronghold OF the
commonwealth. This looks ominous for
silver. The local orators are all on the
stump and some Of the best of them are
for silver and yet Mr.. Bryan is appealed to.
This can have but one meaning, and that
is that the cause in the blue grass state
shows signs of waning 1t is necessary to
make unusual efforts to hold the faithful
in line The section in question is fine
farming country. where dollar wheat and
the rise in prices of other farm products
have smashed the arguments advanced by
the silverites in the presidential campaign.
The gold democrats also are adding to the
uneasiness of the silver men. They are
making very energetic campaign, and
where last year they were refused a hear
ing. this year they are being greeted by
large and respectful audiences.
Mr.. Bryan, 1t Is to be observed, shows
ardent sympathy for those of the party
everywhere who have. and exhibit, the full
courage of their professions. He stands by
the men who stand up for silver He keeps
watchful eye for every expression in IA
vor of silver and telegraphs approval to it's
author or authors. His ear Is trained to
catch the faintest call for assistance from
any such quarter, and If it is in his power
he promptly responds. He has become one
of the greatest travellers of the age out of
solicitude to fill every engagement made
for him in silver's behalf.
MIR. Bryan has not appeared in Maryland
or New York but that is because the demo-
cratic organizations in those two states
are trying to play sneak game this year.
They went hand in hand with him last
year. and are ready at the crack of the ma
tional whip to go hand in hand with him
again. But the national whip will not
crack again until 1900. and meanwhile they
will try to do a little business on their own
hook and in characteristic way. Where
the battle for silver openly is raging there
Mr.. Bryan Is found and the friends of
sound money would do well to note the
fact.

Preparing for Another "App.u,.y

The air motor cat is creeping out of the
bag. The Commissioners have notified the.
receiv er for the lexington and Belt roads
that he may proceed with the equipment
OF those lines with compressed air and that
he may establish stations provided with
proper rechargtpg machinery at such ter
minals as may need such an equipment for
the restoration OF the exhausted energies
of the motors All this is in exact accord
ance with the terms and the spirit OF the
statutes that are now being slowly worked
out into deeds The receiver low rotifies
the Commissioners of his intention in the
following language, which is sufficiently
noteworthy to be quoted In terms:
Il am having detailed plans and speciii-
cations for pipe lines prepared to connect
the terminal charging stations, provided
Tor II the Commissioners order Of October
j. with the power station, together with
plans and specifications for these charging
stations. and. when completed. will sub

Proud Of the Capital.


The people of the country are fond of
their capital. More than the Washington
ians themselves. they have seen the won
derful progress of Washington, for by
visits at intervals-some of them extending
over years-they have met with some con-
trasts which tell the story to the spectator
more thoroughly than constant living in
the city could do. In different parts of the
country We have heard people discuss the
growth of Washington with pride and re-
late the comparisons of their various visits
The man who was there ten or twenty
years ago. and who goes again this year,
takes a tale back home which he never
tires of telling.
And not only will Washington have no
rival in the sense of competition, but it is
destined to be beautiful beyond any other
city or any other capital in the world
What has been done is simply an earnest
of what is to come. 1t will be the capital
of society, as well as politics. Art and e1u-
cation will follow. and already 1t is a fact
that more learned and authoritative men
can be gathered in an audience in that city
than anywhere else in the country In fact
Baltimore is glad to be so near Washing
ton.

The game here was one Of the prettiest

and was won by Norfolk: by score
OF to 0. 1t was a scrappy contest and
often was delayed by the kicking OF
both teams. Umpire Mcnamara put
