ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION

In describing the power plant of the worlds
fair which is TO be opened two months hence in
Paris, Engineering" specifies three features in
which marked advance upon the French ex-
hbtiOn of 1889 will be noticed One is q CON
centration of boilers and engines at two central
stations instead of a wide scattering of numer-
Gus small plants Another is the requirement of
three times as much power as was needed
eleven years ago. Nevertheless if n comparison
be made with the Chicago fair no startling nov
city will be detected in either of these pro-
visions. In Lincoln Park there was but a single
$4,000 horse power, of which 1900 was devoted
to electricity, whereas on the Champs de Mars
this year only $1,000 horse power will be
needed for electric lighting, and 5000 for drly-
ing machinery.
The third popularity of the Paris fair men
toned by Engineering" however, will show a
real improvement on the Chicago exhibition.
The steam engines used to run other machinery
than dynamos In 1893 performed their work
through the agency of shafts. pulleys and belt
Ing. In 1900 for the same class of service the
power will first be converted into electricity
and then transmitted to electric motors each
connected with its own loom printing press and
lathe. Hundreds of such motors will be scat
tered through Machinery Hall, deriving their
supplies Of current by separate wires from a
common source.
This Innovation Will simply illustrate on a
large scale, and with degree of publicity that
cannot fail to prove highly instructive, a revo-
luton in mechanical practice that has been
rapidly going during the last FIVE years
especially In this country. The distribution of

THE PACIFIC CABLE ROUTE.

A bill has been introduced into Congress for
the laying of a telegraphic cable from the
United States to the Philippines a route
starting from the Washington coast and
ming along the Alaska coast out to the tip
end of the Aleutian Islands thence to Russian
territory, thence to Japan, and finally to our
own possessions again. We have hitherto con-
sidered this plan, and have stated what seem to
be insuperabe objections to it. 1t Is round
about route, which the cable would be eX-
posed TO the greatest possible dangers from
anchors, ocean currents and what not. In time
Of peace, for commercial purposes the operation
of the cable would be slow And in time of war
our use of it to communicate with our own
possessions would be dependent upon the pleas
ure of alien and possibly hostile Powers, and it
would be exposed at numerous points to cutting
by belligerents or by pirates
Happily. at the same time with the introduc
ton of this i'll conceived measure, the survey
vessel Nero has arrived from her cruise across
the Pacific. The report of her commander is
not yet made known, but there is little doubt
that 1t will show the entire feasibility of laying
a cable across the Pacific by way of Hawaii and
Guam directly to the Philippines without
touching upon any other than United States
soil. Such a cable will be free from the obiec-
tons noted against the other route. 1t will be
safer from injury from natural causes, and
quicker of operation in time of peace. and in
time of war it will be far more easily pro-
tected from hostile attack and will provide
this country with exclusive communication,
under its own flag. with all its possessions in
the Pacific That Is the kind of cable that is
wanted
1t is to be observed that the advocates of the
hybrid northern route concede the necessity of
a cabIp 10 Hawaii and DrOpOSe that one he laid
separately from the one across or around the
Pacific So we may concede that a cable up
the coast of Alaska is desirable. Why not lay
it as the Independent and separate line? The
line from the United States to the Philippines
should follow nearly as possible the great
line of ship travel and should touch at and
connect the chief ports of call on that line. To
do so it must certainly go by the way of
Hawaii

THE POLL TAX LAW UNPOPULAR

"One Of the most vicious laws
on the statute books of Arizona Is
the poll tax law passed by the last
territorial legislature, that requires
of an American citizen that he pay
for the privilege of voting, the
only weapon a poor man has to
assert his independence" So said
a prominent butiness man to a
Herald representative. Inquiry
brought to light that this is the
opinion Of many citizens OF Bisbee.
."There is no law that can deprive
an American of the rights and
privileges granted him by the con-
stitution," he continued, "and no
court in the land would uphold
such an act as the one now in force
in Arizona. There should be other
ways of compelling man to pay
poll tax, and when price is plac
ed on the right of franchise, it is
time to call halt"
A law ofa similar nature was
passed by the Nevada legislature
two years ago. The act was tested
in the courts of that state and de-
clared unconstitutional. 1t is un-
derstood that test case will be
made in. the courts of Arizona.
There are many persons who
would gladly pay their poll tax if
no compulsory methods were used.
They do not like the idea of pay
ing $3.50 for a privilege that the
constitution declares cannot be
denied them. For that reason
Cochise county's registration is
not over half what it would be, in
the estimation of many citizens, if
the poll tax law was not in opera

1t means robbery compared with

executive council have the power
to determine who shall exercise
the right of franchise and the
power to grant and dispose of
every franchise, right, privilege
and concession of a public or

What wisdom has developed in
the craniums of om: imperial headsY
They contend that certain parts of
the earth are neither in the United
States nor outside of the United
States, and in the next breath they
turn around and contend that these
certain parts of the earth are both
within the United States and out
side the United States. They also
contend that Congress, which is
well known to be q creature Of the
constitution, he's powers beyond
the constitution. For instance, they
apply our navigation laws to the
Poreto Ricans brcause it was for
our benefit and thus exploit them
as if they were within the United
States for our benefit, and then
when it came to the question of a
uniformity of tariff and trade as
guaranteed by the constitution to
all parts Of the United States, they
put them outside of the United
States for the reason that they
would be again ex plotted that way. |

more than three hours in the SEN

ion proclaimed to bolster up n
'iclxety rebellion against the

THE last ST. Johns Herald has a
strong editorial in support of
the poll tax law and says those
who oppose it are the ones whe
'like the right of franchise with
out the responsibility Of support
ing the. free institutions which
make free government possible"
and certain politicians who like
to control votes on election day."
So far as our observations have
gone our contemporary is mis-
taken. The principal objection
to the law is the fact that it is un-
constitutional. Under the pro-
visions of that document tax
qualification cannot be imposed on
the franchise Of any citizen. We
believe, with the Herald, that the
poll tax is good thing and ought
to be paid as it goes intothe school
fund, but the man who will not
pay it to educate his children GER
tainly will not do so for the priv
elege of voting. The poll tax law
as passed by the last legislature
only makes it compulsory to pay
the tax every two years which
makes q losing of one-half to the
school fund. There was ample
provision on the statute books be-
fore the last law was passed to
compel the payment of the poll
tax each year if the officers would
enforce it. The present law should
beirepealed as it is unnecessary
aud very inconvenient for if an
individual should lose his poll tax
receipt he cannot get on the great
register without either procuring
a duplicate receipt or paying the
tax a second time.

highly interesting as they will not
only give accounts of results of the
discoveries of the party but will
also be descriptive of the country
they pass through and the people
they come in contact with and
their customs. As there is now a

good accounts of this will be con-

THE Graham County Democratic
Central Committee met last Tues
day at Solomonville and fixed the
date of holding the primaries Sat
urday, Aug. 25, and the county
convention on Saturday, Sept. lst,
at Stafford. Quite lively time
was had over locating the conven-
ton as Solomonville has argued all
along that all conventions should
be held at the county seat and was
candidate against all other towns
for the convention, but when the
committee met she saw that SAT.
ford was the choice under instruc-
tions of a large majority OF the
precincts. Then, with her usual
bitterness, she deserted her own
town and cast her two votes and
her three proxies for Pima, after
she had secured Pima's vote for
Solomonville as a candidate. Now
let Solomonville be honest and
join Stafford in proposing Pima for
the convention town two years
hence.
