An Eastern inventor of a horseless
carriage, who has studied all forms of
that kind of vehicle in this country
and in Europe for five years past, gives
it as his opinion, that within five years
the horseless carriage will be common
in use and that especially in cities and
towns it will largely supersede light
vehicles dependent upon horses and
mules for motive power. If this is a
sound conclusion, there is great hope
to cheer the hearts of the friends of
good roads The horseless carriage
is useless on bad roads. 1t will be in
troduced only where road conditions
invite. Those localities will enjoy dis
tinct advantages thereby. AS a mat
ter of course this will spur on other
communities to prepare the way for
like benefits. Suburban sections will
not submit to being kept behind the
march of progress, and good highways
will be ordered in those parts. The
country will then realize that it is en-
titled to a share of the advantages and
cities. AS the only possible way to
that end lies along good smooth, per-
manent, well-kept roads, the country
VIII demand and secure them. In a
greatly larger degree the horseless car
riage will do what the bicycle has done,
stiffen good road demands and secure
good road construction. OF course at
present prices horseless carriages and
wagons are the pleasure and profit of
the very few. But it is out of reason
to suppose that these high prices will
be maintained. The number of de-
vices for motors will multiply and the
competition between them will bring
down their cost. Besides, as the me-
chanism is better understood the man
ufacture will cheaper. At present
there is no nlanufactory for turning
out these carriages. They are made
machinery constructed for other pur-
poses. If the opinion of the party re-
ferred to is sound, factories will be
erected and stocked with machinery
devoted wholly to the output of these
vehicles, and this will cheaper them.
That has been the history of the manu-
faeture in modern wagons, in bicycles,
in sewing machines, and in agricultural
machinery. We may expect the same
| law of economy to obtain in the man
ufacture of the horseless carriage.

That Retroactive nlegality

RESOLUTION. declaring Secretary Cages "re-
EoaCtive'- tariff order TO he without au-
shority OF law and in violation of the
statutes and customs regulations was re-
ferred yesterday TO the Committee on
Finance, and thus probably pigeon holed.
It was a close scratch, however.
Prior to the introduction of the 1esolu-
hon, the Secretary had replied to another
one, inuuiring by what authority he had
anticipated the enactment OF a proposed
law then being considered by the Senate,
that he had issued the order for ''pru-
Dental reasons" This answer was not
esninently satisfactory TO the anti-trIS
element in the Senate, and hence the effort
Of Senator Vest to have the illegallty OF the
Secretary course officially declared. Tho
resolution, no doubt. is dead in committee;
but the retroactive usurpation is dead,
too. ard viii be treated with the ridicule
