From the Engineering News.
Electric railway accidents have been re-
markedly frequent of late and one thing
which has been forcibly brought to the at
tention of railway managers in connection
with them is the need of better braking
apparatus In the Bridgeport disaster of
August g. with its thirty fatalities .nves-
tigation showed that the car ran for some
distance after deraiment before 1t plunged
over the side of the bridge. In Brooklyn
last week. while crowded car of the 9Th
avenue line was descending a steep grade
az high speed, a wheel broke, the brakes
were rendered imperative and the car ran
a considerable distance and finally stopped
with it's front end overhanging the side of
a bridge fifty feet in height On the same
day a runaway occurred on steep grade of
an electric railway at Norristown, Pa. Ac-
cording 70 reports, both the ordinary brake
and an emergency brake" were unable to
stop the car, which ran down a grade a
quarter of a mile long, left the track at
a curve at its foot. and plunged against
the houses at the side of the street. 1t Is
also stated that a week previous, thirty
persons were injured in similar accident
on the same road.
We fully appreciate that for use in
crowded city streets, where speeds are slow
and the brake is being applied every few
seconds, the hand brake has advantages
which are exceedingly difficult to duplicate
In any power brake. The need of a power
brake for emergency use, however, especial
ly on railways which run cars on suburban
steep grades. is becoming more and more
apparent. 1t Is to be hoped that the series
of brake tests which Is being conducted
this week under direction of the New York
state railroad commission may furnish
some data of practical value In this field.

Present conditions reflect the important

every branch of industry Is insistent and
can not be adequately supplied OF mere
Drawn there may be a plenty. but Drawn

than the conditions require. though doubt
less more plentiful today than ever be-

Specialties and the development OF new

the part of the laborers of the time which
Is in itself an acknowledgment Of the new

The national enCampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic is always an inter-
esting occasion. 1t always calls up thou
sand glorious memories. and always en-
phasizes the lessons of patriotism and duty.
But this year the occasion is particularly
interesting and instructive. What did
these veterans in their lusty youth stand
for? What flag did they carry? Whose
orders did they take and execute? What
deeds did they accomplish which make
item still. thirty-five years later, the OBJ
jects of much respect and affections
The story is familiar in every detail. In
1861 there men who scoffed at the
bare suggestion that this government had
the power to save itself. What? Coerce
a sovereign state of the Union? Invade a
state with federal troops and bring it back
by force to the discharge of national obli-
cations? Could people so treated ever be
relied upon as citizens? Was it not one
of the cardinal principles of our institu-
tons that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed?'
Could patriotism be exacted at the muzze
Of rifle? Was the Union anything but a
bond holding together sovereign states. but
only by unanimous consent? Could not
any one of them withdraw at it's pleasure?
We all know now. and by whom. these
questions were answered He was a great
man. the greatest In some particulars. this
country has ever produced. He was
sailed more fercely than any official ever
had been in this country before. Pictured
by his detractors in the north alternately
as bloody tyrant and low buffoon. he
yet painfully and patiently kept on his
course and Allied the south with hundreds
of thousa nds Of armed men. carrying the
stars and stripes and planting 1t and
tanning it in blood everywhere. At last
the deed was done. The cause was won.
The south. broken and devastated by four
years of war, and after resistance which
for courage and sacrifice commanded uni
Nersal admiration. was restored by force to
the Union. What it had been said could
not be done stood accomplished; and the
great leader who had been vilely lam
rconed by copperheads and skukers in the
rear now took his place among the heroes
OF all time.
Has that work been failure? Ask the
people of the south. Ask Gen. Wheeler.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, Gen. Stephen D. Lee,
Gen. John B. Gordon. any all of the
viving leaders of the lost cause. The Union
not only possessed the power to preserve
itself. but exercised 1t to win
newal of the loyalty Of those who had
raised the standard Of revolt against 1t.
Who says, therefore. that what was done In
the south cannot for a like reason be done
in the Philippine Islands? Shall the gov
eminent which enforced respect for its
thority in section peopled by men who in
their best estate have no superiors halt
and stammer and take the back track be-
fore the Filipinos?

The New Democratic SubcOm mittees.
Vice Chairman Stone has reorganized the
subcommittee of the democratic national
committee in accordance with the plan
agreed upon at the committees meeting at
Chicago In July. and the assignments be-
token a purpose to make very thorough
Preparations for the battle OF next year.
Thisrs made especially evident In the per
sonnet of the new committee on ways and
means, whose duty 1t will be to raise funds.
That committee is composed Of these men
John r. Mclean of Ohio, Trey Woodson
of Kentucky, Adair Wilson of Colorado. J.
]. DIVER of California, benjamin R. TILL
man Of South Carolina. Frank Campbell of
New York and ]. G. Johnson of Kansas.
Mr.. Mclean is not only a man of large
means and liberal giver to his party but
he has extensive business connections
which ought TO make his services as a col
lector very valuable. Mr.. Wilson of Col
orado and Mr. Dwyer of California ought
to be able to assess the silver mining in
terests as successfully as they were as
sessed in 1896, while Mr.. Campbell of New
York. who ia personally very popular at
home Is the best medium that could have
been selected for approaching eastern men
for contributions to a which is
against their interests The south Is not
flush, but maybe Mr.. Woodson and Mr..
Tiliman will be able to secure much in
that quarter as any other TWO men could.
When one remembers the railing of the
siverites in 1896 against the sound money
men, on the allegation that the sound
money cause was being pushed along by
the lavish use OF huge campaign fund.
this preparation Of the silvertes to be a
little forehanded themselves for next year
Is rather suggestive. Are they to abandon
their claim 10 be the plain champions of

ism. and without other means than sound
arguments? II not. what does the appoint
