Device of a Chicago Operator
Which day RevOluti0nize
Railway Service.
Expected to Enable Trains to Con-
stantly Communicate With
Stations.
Principle of the Trolley to Be
UtiliZed--EdisOn Beaten
This Time.

CHICAGO. Aug. sO.-The most diff.
cult problem of railroad operation-how
to communicate by telegraph with
moving train anywhere on the line, has
been solved by young Chicago in
ventor. Edison, who has been expert.
menting with induction currents, has
been fairly beaten on his own chosen
ground.
George V. Trott, former telegraph
operator, has devised system which
will shortly be put in operation ON the
Pennsylvania railroad, by which every
train on the line is in constant commu.
nication with the station next ahead,
and, when desired, with the train dis
patcher or any public telegraph station.
Briefly, every train on road equipped
with the Trott system, would at all
times be on ''loop" circuit extending
to the next telegraph station ahead, and
to send messages farther or receive
them from other stations, the operator
at the proper station would only have
to ''cut in" by means of "jackspring"
On one of the regular telegraph wires.
Mr.. Trott's device is exclusively me.
chanical. 1t involves no new or untried
principles, and will require no more
power to operate it than the ordinary
duplex cell battery at the Aegular tele-
graph station.
The device which railway engineers
declare will revolutiOnize railway Sci
ence is an adaptation of the street rail
way trolley or third rail of the elevated
railways. Two insulated metallic tracks
are laid between and parallel to the
traction rails. They are not connected
and at intervals equal in length to the
circuit it is desired to establish are dis.
continuous and separated by q non.con.
Quoting machine cushion. A trolley
mechanism, consisting of three pairs Of
wheels, connected in multiple by
"knuckle" joints and hinged to the
footboard of the engine, runs under the
tender on the inner rails. The contact
of the metallic wheels with the metallic
rails closes the circuit, as the wheels
are Joined by a metallic framework
Insulated wires conduct the current
into the engine cab and by means Of thu
bell cord into any part of the train II
which there is an instrument.
Mr.. Trott recently wrote to the Penn
sylvania railway officials and was i'll
vited to send them his plans and speci
fications. Their engineers and cleo
tricians were delighted and proposed t.
give the system a practical trial as sool
as possible.

There is a surprising rushing 20 the
front with foreign protests against one
schedule and another of the pending
tariR bill. We also hear of threats of re-
saiIatlon. None OF these things need

pass the tariff bill in the interest of
American people. II foreign countries
retallate that will be their right and that
kind OF movement can be met on It's
merits when It comes,
As for Great Britain, It cannot retail

position OF a country that cannot feed It's
people and must buy OF other lands the

Canadian Indians have asked the gov
ernment to relieve them Of the duty OF
voting. assigning as particular reason
the fact that since they have had fran
chIse III feeling has been engendered
among them. The same condition has
been noticed among white men as re-
sui. of the use OF the ballot. The un-
tutored savage has, however, an idea be-
yond the bitterness OF partisan strife
He knows that with the electoral fran
chise 60 certain duties and reaponsiblll-
ties. among them tax-paying, This is
where the shoe pInches him, and before
he gets through with his appeal for dis
franchlsement he makes n clean breast
OF the whole matter He explains that
he is unable to pay taxes and pretty soon
his land win fall into the hands Of the
sheriff
Since the red brother has no chance to
gp, into office. he sees no reason why he
shah help other men at the cost OF having
to nay taxes. This true story teaches US
that the red man is not 50 slow. He Is
sufficiently advanced to appreciate some
OF the features Of civilization and 20
know the value of land and money. In

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, April 0, 1891.


There has been great loss OF life and
property in the lower Mississippi valley.
How many lives have been lost and what
value of property has been destroyed are
questions not to be answered accurately
nj this time. In addition TO this loss Is a
very great suffering among thousands of
people in the flooded region.
Kiss all so bad that the President OF the
United States has thought 1t necessary
70 submit to Congress a special message
and Congress has at once appropriated
$4,000 for relief purposes. The recon-
mendation OF the President and the &C
ton OF Congress win be appreciated by a
very large majority OF the people.
Has Congress any right to appropriate
money for this purpose? General
Catchlngs. the southern Democrat who
offered In the house the resolution to APP
prepElase SsOO.OOO. being asked to show
why Congress should take this action,
replied that under their constitutions the
states swept by the floods have no right
to dIsburse money for such purposes.
General CatchinEs did not attempt to
show the authority OF Congress. Nor IS
that authority to be found except posi-.
bly, under the general welfare clause,
No specific grant OF such authority viii
be found in the constitution of the United
states. The stric; construcilonists would
certainly deny that the authority Is TO be
found in the constitution. and this being
true. the authority IS not in Congress.
The school Of strict cons,rnetinnists OF
the constitution has dwindled 20 that
now It represents very small! element of
the people. II is significna. on this line
that the relief resolution was presented
in the house by a southern Democrat and
in the senate by another southern Demo
Graf, men coming from states in which
the strict construction idea used to be
uppermost. What respect could any
body have for government; OF grsa:
country so hampered as to be powerleas
TO save Its people from starvation in an
emergency OF this kind?
This question suggests auotleE' wa!
is it that states permit themselves to be
hampered in this way? Public bcnevo-
Ienee does not always respond promptly
and In SUFFICIENT volume 10 relieve the
distress resulting from great disasters.
1t Is 80 in the very case under considera-
ton. II then Congress doea not step for
ward no relief could come from any
source. IL not from the legislatures. Not
one Of the flooded states has authority to
appropriate one dollar for relief
Certainly state governments should
.1aye and should exercise this authority
a. wen as the national government. The
state government comes closer to the
people than the national government
and should be as quick to see and prompt
u relieve their necessities.

AIr. Cleveland went 50 far with his
ideas Of civil service reform as to leave
behind the impression that hla chief aim
WAS to reform Republicans out and Dem

lions and under large bond cannot select

vaiuables. # must be apparent 10 any
body that the civil service reform cloak
