We are, therefore, prepared to agree
with the authority quoted that it may
not be very far off when the knell of
the street electrical car@win be sounded.
OF course if motor vehicles come in
with the improved roadways, as they
promise to do. there VIII have TO be a
complete revolution IA the methods of
using the Streets 1t may be that
streets will have to- be laid off in longi-
tudinal sections IA each Of which Ger
tain classes of vehicles alone viii move.
Possibly section may be set apart
for public conveyances, carrying for
hire, and still another for private, and
another for commercial vehicles. Or
certain streets may be set apart for
certain kinds of traffic, and all other be
excluded etc.
True this separation and segrega-
ton may prove as Objectionable as the
fixed rails, but it is easy to understand
how. with sectionized streets, in case
of necessity, blockade and incopven-
fence might be avoided, and routes
changed by passing, under regulation,
from one section to another temporar-
lily.
But whatever the change it is coming
in the form of improved roadways in
towns and cities OF that we have not
the slightest doubt.
The Record Union" thought in that
direction long ago, and it has had no
reason to think differently. On the
contrary, since it pioneered the good
road movement in California, it has
seen wonderful advances, an education
of public sentiment to the point Of alb,
solute reversal. Now we are prepared
to believe that men are about to cease
wasting power by humping over Belgian
blocks, wheeling over nonresident ma
cadam, or losing power on soft asphalt
UNI in warm weather. Macadam and
asphaltum will remain, but with the in
PRODUCTION of the motor carriage ana
cart on an economic basis, we will have

and twenty three knots an hour. They
have no arTnor and carry but one eight
inch gun each, with several small
weapons. On the other hand, the bat
tleship Massachusetts, can make but
sixteen knots, as she has nearly foot
and a half of encasing armor Of Har-
veyized steel, and has four thirteen
inch, eight eight-inch and four six-inch
guns in her main battery. besides nu-
merous small weapons. The gunboat
is simply a cruiser of smaller size and
less draught, and is capable of making
land approaches which are impossible
to ships drawing more water. Their
armament is much limited and seldom
are they found wearing armor, but
many of them are protected by coal
walls and central steel decks.

A NATURAL RESULT.

The people naturally are hungry for
news of the progress of the war. That
they are not now receiving it as rapidly
and fully as they should do is charge
able wholly to the detestable practice
of the yellow journalism. BY it's indis-
cretions, it's revealments, its unpatrietic
methods, its lying and exaggeration it
has driven the Government to close the
doors of all departments relating to the
war and to issuance of an order forbid
ding officials to communicate to news
papers any information they may have.
The people are thus deprived of "a
great body of news which it would be
entirely proper to print, simply because
the Government, knowing that it can
not trust the back alley Paul Pry press,
has closed the door against all papers.
This situation ought to cause the peo-
pie to seriously consider the whole
question of yellow journalism with a
view to ascertaining if it has any place
in our system, if indeed it ought to be
any longer tolerated by public opinion
and patronage.

And just as Dewey did it.

The criticism is made by the Albany
Journal" that in the Cardenas affair
the officers of the navy disobeyed or
ders, and hence the disaster The or
ders were mot to expose the ships I'M
necessarily" But that raises the
question, What was the purpose Of
the expedition?'' The object sought to
be attained determines the charge
whether the ships were exposed "un-
necessarily or not. AT first blush it
does seem that there was unnecessary
exposure and loss of life. But we are
not disposed to criticise the officers in
the light we now have Of the purpose
in view. Unquestionably good many,
especially of our younger officers, have
gone into this war with the mistaken
notion that the Spaniard will not or
cannot fight effectively. They are dis

rs THE STREET CAR TO GIVE
WAY?

In the Electrical Review" we find
the suggestion that electrical traction
may kill the street railway. Who shall
say? Such wondrous changes have
ton that we are prepared for almost
anything. We had thought, however,
that electrical energy had come for
ward to make the street railway a per-
manency, unless compressed air should
crowd out the electrical current, as in
deed it threatens to do.
But the Review" tells us that IN the
inaugural address of the President of
the English Society of Engineers re-
Gently, it was limited that with smooth
asphalted streets, well graded and kept,
the use of vehicles moved by either Of
the two motive powers may possibly,
nay probably will be operated in some
quarters to the exclusion of the tram
way and the street railway. 1t is the
poorly constructed road, says this au-
thority, that has made the rail track
necessary.
Remove the cause, then, and the rail
will go with it. We will then have no
overhead rigging, no stated and fixed
routes, no dangers from entangling
wires, no obstruction from fixed rails
in the the road bed, and no blocking
of traffic by accidents on the line.
There certainly is every reason to be-
lieve that the perfect roadway in
streets will be the next great advance
in cities and large towns All the evil
dences that such an advance is near
at hand are seen by the closely observ-
ing. A score of forces are driving men
to that accomplishment irresistibly. and
