But, Mr.. Graham says, it is not the
trusts idea to operate on the trust
principle of restricted production to
maintain prices. On the contrary, it
proposes as one of the first steps to
increase the price of silver ten per
cent. in order to stimulate the mining
of that ore.
This is exactly on the plan of opera
ton, it will be observed, of that
beneficent concern, the Standard Oil
Trust. When oil production lags and
profits are slow the Standard always
puts up prices to stimulate wildcatting
and drilling of new wells, which it pro-
ceeds to gobble up in due time after
its own peculiar fashion. 1t is a sop
thrown to the producing whale to keep
that animal in working trim for the
monopoly's benefit.
We all know what a benefcent con-
Germ the Standard Oil Trust is. We
much fear the new silver smelling COM
bine is built ON the same general lines
if the truth were known.

THE CASE OF MRS. GEORGE

The court has been having a mighty
hard time getting jury together to
try Mrs. George for the murder of
George d. Saxton, her betrayer and
paramour, who finally deserted her.
They will have harder time con-
victing her. Aside from the absence
of important witnesses for the State,
juries rarely convict a woman under
such circumstances.
brOther-in-law the murdered man was,
has set the mighty machinery of the
government secret service to work
gathering evidence against Mrs. George
and several government officers have
become mixed up in the case.
The statement connecting the Presi-
dent with the case is doubtless without
foundation. But even were all the
power of the federal government
brought to bear against her it is doubt
full if Mrs. George could DO convicted.
Nine-tenths of the community are her
warm partisans and she is surrounded
by friends and deluged with flowers in
court.
When the law has to deal with
wronged and pretty woman the law is
at a decided disadvantage.

THE CHILDISH FOUR HUNDRED

New York Four Hundred society,
generally pronounced sassiety, is a
queer affair. And not so queer, either,
in its extreme liability to those human
foibles that affiict the poorest and hum
blest of the degenerate sons of Adam.
The motive that actuates the heavy
swell and the lady of quality in Fifth
Avenue is very like that which moves
humanity on the East Side and in the
slums. Madam in her boudoir, sur
rounded by nothing but luxury and ease
and freedom from worldly care, has
troubles of her own quite as petty
and mean as those of her scullery maid
and her hostler below stairs. Madam
on this side of Fifth Avenue turns up
her nose at Madam on the other side
and don't speak" to Madam next door.
The Vanderbilt-Fair wedding the
other day, at which was represented
wealth amounting to $840.000,0O0,
brought out a queer situation in the
family of the Vanderbilts and their
numerous connections. Fully half OF

in caring for them at the wedding the
greatest tact in manouvering them
about the place had to be observed
to avoid possibly scenic collisions and
uncomfortable iceberg proximities. :"

THE THIRD RAIL SYSTEM,

The Register is informed from New
York that the authorities of Wheeling
are to receive overtures from the Safe
ty Third Rail Electrical Company, of
New York, looking to the granting to
that concern of a franchise for the con-
struction in this city of the third rail
system of street railways. Similar
Overtures are to be made to Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Columbus, Akron, Toledo.
Sandusky, Dayton, Springfield, Youngs-
town, Louisville, KY, Fit. Wayne, In
dianapolis, Richmond, Ind, st. Louis
and many other cities in the central
west with view to establishing the
third rail system, the exclusive right
to construct which has just been Sc
cured by a Cincinnati man who has
consummated deal with the New
York Company named above, which is
headed by no less a person than Rich
ard Croker, of Tammany. This concern
is capitalized at $4,000, 900, and al
ready has in operation several railways
on the system of the third rail in
Greater New York.
The third rail system is in advance

system il substitution for the over
head trolley will cost seventy per cent.
less than the underground trolley.
principally because there are no con-
Quits to be constructed. Switches are
SO arranged that they will work auto
matically. The current is not con-
tinuous one, but is found only in every
alternate rail. A car can be started
and without the assistance of the mo-
torman can be stopped at given
point. The power can be shut of in
any designated part of the city without
Gripping the other lines, in case re-
pairs are necessary.
A third rail is laid in the center OF
the rails for the wheels. There is abb
solutely no danger from contact with
this rail. The power is transmitted by
contact with a lever in the car. ope-
rated by a motorman as in the case
of the overhead trolley.
The unsightliness of the overhead
trolley and it's danger in case of fire
and to life and limb, to say nothing
of its greater cost, render desirable
a substitute for it that is not open
to these decided objections and the
third rail system seems to be the most
practicable and available substitute now
before the public. In many cities the
agitation against the overhead trolley
has reached point where the overhead
trolley must go and the street car COM
panies will be forced to adopt either
the underground or the third rail sys
tenn. AS the latter is apparently the
better and by far the cheaper it would
seem to have the call.
There is no reason why our own
street car companies should not adopt
the new and improved and cheaper
system. The third rail concern should
be given every encouragement by the
authorities.
The overhead trolley must go.
