Growth of Electric Roads.

DIR. Louis Bell contributes to a recent
number of the Engineering Magazine
an excellent article on the marvellous
growth of electric power during the last
decade. In perusing the article we find
that in place of the little group of strug
Cling electric roads of ten years ago.
we have today very nearly $4,000 miles
of track equipped with not less than
10000 motor cars. The railway motors
in use aggregate fully a million horse
power, and the generating plants close
to 100000.
During the year just passed about
1900 miles of electric railway track
have been built, and nearly 5000 motor
cars have been added to the euuipment
list. This increase means an aggregate
investment of something like $35 900, 900
"a prodigiOus sum to be added to a
single industry in year that has been
far from prosperous.
OF stationary electric motors, the
number deties exact calculation, in so
many directions and from so many
sources has the growth extended. A
single plant in New York city carries
nearly 100000 horse power i'm motors up
on its circuits, and the aggregate of
those thus operated from central sta
certainly reaches 100000 horse power.

The Bloomsbury Dynamiters,

The startling and highly sensational
story recently published in the tele
graphic columns Of the newspapers.
lmplicatng two OF, The best known FAM
HES of Bloomsbury, Pa, in the in
famous attempt to blow up with dyna-
mite the house of Levi Waller, a prom
lnent citizen of that place, and an ey-
member of the legislature and son-in-
law Of Hon. Charles r. Buckalew. has
shaken that crstWhie pastoral yillage
TO its very circumference, and because
of the social and political prominence
OF the persons involved in the affair
mas attracted Widespread attention
throughout the state.
Clifton Knorr, who by his confession
of guilt, has implicated himself and
Lloyd Wlntersteen, esq, in the Conspir-
aCy, is young man about &c years
of age and a graduate of Lehigh uni
versity. He is a son of the late Colonel
hnorr, who was one of the best known
lawyers of centra! Pennsylvania. Mr..
Wintersteen is a prominent attorney of
the Columbia county bar, and is the ex-
ecutor OF the KnOrr estate. He was
formerly the coloners law partner.
Public opinion is divided as to the
guilt of Mr. Wintersteen, whose char
acter was never impeached until young
Knorr's arrest and confession drew him
into the affair. The more thoughtful
element of the townspeople are reserv-
Ing their judgment in the case and Mr..
Wintersteen viii hold their sympathy
and respect until the evidence of the
plot is all set forth and his innocence
or guilt clearly shown. Knorr has
led a dissolute life for a num-
Der of years and the very charae-

OF course the pleasant springlike
weather of these days is abnormal; it
is unreasonable; but probably the
worst calamity attending the glimpse
of midWinter sunshine is the croak of
the restless individual who can discern
germs of disease in every passing
breeze and feel the approach of disas-
ter that threatens to annihlate the hu-
man race in blocks of hundreds as the
case may demand. These melancholy
people scan the papers and seem to
take ghOulish delight in reading ac-
counts of some new micTObe of greater
or less degree that is ready to feast
upon the tissues of helpless humanity.
In the imagination of the weather
derVishes the wings OF the winter mi
crobes ON a warm day become larger
than the sails of Professor Langley's
flying machine, and the ills to which
the flesh is heir seem liable to increase
in a manner sufficient to exhaust the
visible stock of drugs in the land.
While we are not disposed to scott at
the labors of scientists who are con-
tinually discovering some new terror
of minute proportions, there seems no,
reason for unusual alarm al an occas-
ional mild day at the season of the
year when the ice crop should be flour
ishing. 1t is believed that people who
obey the laws Of health and take care
Of themselves at all times are no more
liable to disease and death on a day
like yesterday, for instance, than they
would be if the thermometer was hov-
ering about zero with a brisk breeze
blowing from the north. Let us cheer
up and get all of the enjoyment possi-
BILE out of the sunny days and balmy
breezes of winter, even if they are, as
our melancholy and scientific friends
claim,charged with invisible germs that
are preparing to devour us at the
proper moment.

Tic Senatorial Battle.

Deplorable as have been some Of the
features of the senatorial contest, which
was practically settled at last nights
caucus, the commonwealth is to be
congratulated upon securing for it's
service in the national senate at WASH
ington, as a colleague of Senator Quay
young man whose public record is
clean, who possesses wellmatured
legislative experience, who is in tho
rough touch with his party upon all pub
lie questions, and who has never played
the hypocrite. With no wish to carry
further the acerbities of the campaign
just closed, we are convinced that the
best interests of Pennsylvania as a
whole-the interests of her multitudes
no less than Of her special classes--will
bc safer in the hands of Senator Pen
rosc than they would have been in the
hands of Mr. Wanamaker as the prog
ress of the latter's campaign has re-
vealed him to the people.
Mr.. Penrose will enter his new sphere
Of usefulness with every incentive to
honorable service. He has the vigor Of
youth the pride of ancestry, the spur
OF vindication rarely eXampled in
American politics and the fun conf
dence of his friends. He has demon
strated his ability as a practical force
in the shaping and championship of
legislation; he has acquired in active
pulitica, warfare Il breadth of philos-

BtSlNE ESS AT EXTRA SESSION.

Washington Star:
The length of time the Fifty-fifth con-
gress is likely to remain in extra session
Is an interesting question with the politi-
clans. Some of them fix the limit at two
months, while others are eXpectiug the
session to last until July /.
When discussion of an extra session first
began the popular idea was that no leg
islation outside of tariff bill would be
attempted. The programme suggested was
that a tariff bill should be ready for the
house upon its organization, that the
house should take this up, briefly discuss
1t and promptly pass it, and then rest on
its oars until the senate could complete
the work. Upon examination, however, it
is discovered that by this plan the senate
would be kept idle while the house was
debating and passing the tariff bill, and
the house idle while the senate was ge-
viewing its labors. This, of course, is out
of the question \ majority of the house
could not be kept here for weeks for no
other purpose but to pass on the Compro-
mise report on the tariff bill nor would
the senate care to sit with folded hands
for several weeks pending the receipt of
the bill from the house in the first place.
The extra session of the new congress,
therefore, is likely to take up ana pass
upon other important measures beside a
tariff measure. Just what other measures
Is problem. Other important questions
are pressing. Mr.. oWlcOtt will be back in
February with information bearing on the
silver question, and not improbably, it is
thought that will be reserved for use at
the extra session If congress al this ses-
sion should fail to take action on the prop
OsitiOn for an international monetary con-
ference. BY this arrangement the senate
would begin with the financial question,
while the house was disposing of the tarife
question, leaving the house to dispose of
the financial question while it, the senate,
completed the work ON the tariff
Much, however, will necessarily depend
on the actual situation when the new con-
gress meets, and on the ability of the Re.
publicans to muster a majority vote in the
senate. If matters are safely within Re
publican control, by combination or other
wise, in the senate, expedition of business
will be possible. But if they lose the con-
tests in North Carolina and Kentucky they
will be left very much to the mercy of the
opposition. But whatever is done. whether
much or little, at the extra session will be
so much deducted from the work of the
regular session next winter, and will ena-
BILE the party in power to bring about an
early adjournment in the spring of 1898.

1t is reported that the czar of Russia
has again warned the sultan of Turkey
that trouble will follow his refusal to
seriously consider the remonstrances
of the powers and accept their advice
concerning reforms in the Turkish gov
eminent, does not create much more of
sensation on the world at large than
upon the ruler of the Ottoman empire,
few years ago such a threat would
have caused ripple of excitement
everywhere as an indication that the
so-called civilized nations of Europe
had decided to interfere in behalf of
the doWn-trodden Wretches who have
no avenue of escape from their suffer-
1ngs but death. Today. however the
threat is regarded simply as another
mild protest from a powerful ruler
who could single-handed crush the
remnants of barbarity of the dark ages
as represented by the government of
Turkey. 1t must have been as appar-
ent to the representatives. of the DOW
ers a year ago as it is to the world to-
day that good advice unaccompanied
by shot ana shell will never be appre-
ciated by the sublime porte. The sui
tan OF Turkey probably cares less for
puplc opinion than any man upon
earth. He is shrewd enough to note
'he jealousy of the powers that lone
to divide his kingdom, and will prob
ably in future, as in the past, continue

SUDDEN CHANGE OF POLICY.
Rochester Democrat-Chronicle.

fOCHeSleF DenOCfdl-CnrOnlCle.
The administration seems to have, at
last, under pressure, abandoned its pirat-
ical policy of hampering and harassing lc-
gitimate traffic between ports of the Unit
ed states and Cuba, in the interests of the
Spanish government.
An American cargo steamer sailed last
Thursday from Jacksonville for a Cuban
port, with a cargo of arms and ammuni-
tion and with regular clearance papers
from the United States government.
Moreover she sailed under escort of a
United states revenue cutter. which, We
presume, would have prevented any inter-
ference with this American vessel in
American waters by aSpanish force in
stead of assisting the Spaniards to piratic-
ally seize her as United States officers
have heretofore been compelled by or
ders from Washington to do, in similar
cases.
Why the government has so suddenly
departed from the utterly Illegal course
in which, knowing 1t to be Illegal it mas
so long persisted toward American yes
sells engaged in entirely legitimate traf-
iic, is a mystery Perhaps the Spanards
having finally succeeded in making their
blockade of the Cuban cost so effective
that the departure of "hlbustering" yes
sells from American ports has become a

The secret of this astonishing growth
lies in the simple fact that capital will
be invested to effect certain retrenCh-

for any other purpose. In prosperity
men will work harder to make dollar
than to save one; in adversely this ten

THE SCIENTIFIC sLUGGARD.


'Tis the voice OF the scientist, hear him
explain;
"Don't set up too soon, 1t is bad FOR the
brain;
The mind it unhinges." he ruthlessly said;
"If you rise in the morning too soon from
yOul bed"
"Go early to bed and be early to rise,
And so youll be healthy and wealthy ana
wise;'
But how about those agricultural hands,
who do all the year round what the pro-
verb commands?

morn,
And saw him uprootng the thistle and
thorn;
His limbs are rheumatic, his energy flags,
And as for his trousers ana shirt they
were rags.

That rising so early was good for his
mind;
He doddered and driyelled, alas, it was
The worthy bucolic was three parts in

me,
That man is a picture of what I might be;
Then thanks be to Science, for teaching
so clearly
It's quite delusion to get up too early.

HereditY in Politics.

Heredity in American politics APP
pears to be a very tangible reality,
even If our own Donald Cameron who
for more than twenty years has held
with more or less success the grip which
his able sire fastened on the keystone
state, is about to withdraw from the
arena.
Charles Crisp, ir., of Georgia, seems
to have been preparing to step into his
fathers shoes. judging by the alacrity
and apparent ease with which he occu-
pied the vacant seat at Washington.
Young Mr. Crisp as yet has had no op-
portunity to prove his metal in the field
of national legislation but on the score
of personal aflibility, which after all
counts much more at Washington than
might be supposedyit is reported he has
made a hit. He has already developed
a decided penchant for fishing which
undoubtedly would speedily have float
ed him into the innermost secrets of
Gray Gable regime, but unfortunately
Qor Mr.. Crisp the reign of the prophet
is fast drawing to a close.
James r. Garfield, the son of the
martyred president, also seems to have
been making commemorative hcadWaY in
Buckeye politics, although it is general
~ understood by those best acquainted
with the young man that he is lacking
in those qualities which made his father
the greatest exponent Of his time Of
liberal American craftsmanship.
Mr.. Garfield already represents his
fathers old district in the state SEN
ate, but aspires to have the Garfield
name again entered on the rolls of the
lower house.
Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Crisp are only
tive of the most conspicuous instances
of a custom, ON numerous occasions
observed in this country ana which.
probably seems tritle stronger than
mere coincidence to many persons ultra
Jealous for the preservation of Ameri-
can principles. There is however moth
ing to warrant any alarm with the most
intensely american in these examples
of political hereditY, in any country
like our own, where, despite all pessi-
mistiC ntteranCes to the contrary,
brains, grit and personal honor form
the foundations upon which political
success must be buided.
