SPARKS OF ELECTRICITY.

In the experimenting which has been
carried on in South Africa with the
MaFconi system in wireless telegraphy
1t was found that cannonading had no
effect on the system.
Signals have been sent by wireless
telegraph through a suite Of seven
rooms, the doors of which were closed.
They we're transmitted through a tele-
graph switchboard containing both
dead and live wires.
A submarine cable from Cape Town
has been laid to st. Helena, and the
cable was landed Nov. %, 1899. The
present tariff is 31-70 a word, but on
the final completion OF the line the
rate win be ninety-seven cents to Eng
land.
In London a burglar has been caught
and among his implements of trade
was found a portable electric-light set.
1t was undoubtedly intended to be used
in his business, as it could be easily
switched on and on and there would
be an entire absence OF odor.
There has been opened the first Chi
nese electric railway and Ii connects
the Peking railway station and the
south gate Of the capital. The Chinese
have no serious objections to electric
ity, as it does not profane the air
as does the locomotive, which irritates
the spirits Of the water and air.
In the laundry OF an insane asylum
at Pontiac. Mich. electric irons instead
Of gas irons have proved to be peculi-

where most Of the work is done by thu
patients. There is no chance Of then
setting anything on fire with the irons,
and rs the irons are kept at an even
temperature they do not require the
exercise Of judgment in changing
them.

HE URGENCY OF other busi-
ness Is assigned rs q reason
Il why, at the coming short
session 'of congress, no
steps will be taken to carry into eXecu-
tion the mandatory section of the
Fourteenth amendment which requires
n reduction of the basis of ,epresenta-
ton in states practicing partial 'lis-
franchisemcnt. Were the session
twice az long and the other business
inconslderable there still would be
found ingenious excuses for cvading
this duty. The plain fact Is that the
Republican party managers do not
want to relindle the old sectional AMI
mosities. but in their commendable
concern for general harmony, they are
in danger of conceding too much to
the opposition.
We see no objection to plain SPEAK
ing touching this matter. The South
wants to disfranchise the negro and
yet use him to pad out its representa-
tion in congress. This demand is in
tolerable for two reasons. First. 1t
violates Wilfully as plain a provision
of the United States constitution as
the English language is capable Of eN-
pressing. But not only that it intlicts
distinct injustice upon q great mu-
jorty of the people to please r. mi
nority; it clothes with unequal power
the vote cast in the South at the eX-
pense of the vote cast in other por-
rf 1,pS Sa
un-American demands are pressed,
there will necessarily be lack Of gen.
tine harmony between the Southern
and the other states: harmony on u
basis of unfair dealing is impossi-
BILE.
Is there a basis of compromise? ?
Yes, and it is highly important for
all sections that the fact should be
clearly understood. There can be no
just objection to a restriction upon
suffrage applied fairly to all males of
voting age without regard to race,
color or previous condition OF servi-
tudc. If the bulk of the negro vote
in the South is menace to public
advancement, no less is this true of
the poor white trash vote. If on
is excluded, the other should be with
equal and exact fairness: and to both,
after exclusion, should be held forth
the opportunity and, as far as possible.
the incentive for self-improvement to
the degree of fitness for the electoral
privilege.
If such restriction should neces-
state a reduction in representation,
the developing influences Of schools
and churches would constitute cer-
tain method of regaining the lost rep
resentation. This is no fanciful day.
dream, but a practical recipe and the
only one which can dissolve the em-
barrassments of the present situa-
tion.

- cited by the recent speech Of
~ Bishop Lawrence, of Massa-
chusetts, at the New York
chamber of commerce dinner, in which
note Of warning was sounded at the
growth of what the speaker called
the spirit of cOmmercialism, the test
of value by money. the gauging of So
cial position by fortune, the loss of
pity for the failures in life, the figur-
ing of national bigness by national
wealth and by the getting Of foreign
markets" More especially has this
portion of the bishops speech attracted
attention.:
Gentlemen, the people, the great common peo
pie, are suspicious that some great corporations
and masses of wealth are protected, their in
tcrests advanced in ways that inconsistent
with the rights of the people, They may have
no material grounds for their suspicious but
they are suspicious, and SO are many OF you
Civilization cannot go on where there is mutual
suspicion, and prosperity cannot so on while the
people feel or think that the reverence for law
by which property is saiesuarded is not upheld.
Put into its plainest form, the bish-
ops idea is that lack of confidence pre-
walls as to the prevalence of common
honesty. This was the substantial is
sue, put to q vote of the people in the
recent presidential election. Every at
tempt which ingenuity could devise
was made to array the poor in ore
camp and the rich in the other and
to }epeat in the United States, in
principle, If not in detail the horri-
ble jepisodes of the Paris commune,
by directing one camp into an attack
upon the other. 1t failed. Why? Be-
cause the rich outvoted the poor? Not
at all. Because the rich coerced the
poor? Certainly not. Simply because
the great saving bulk of our American
democracy, drawing it's inspiration
from common founts, inheriting COM
mon traditions and in the final analy-
sis true to the principles of equality
befote the law, refused to be stam-
pedcn into war of classes.
II the suspicion which Bishop Law
renee attributes to the great COM
mon people really exists among them,
he may be certain that they will run
1t down and convict or acquit as the
evidence shall warrant. Anglo-Saxon
ideas are not yet obsolete in these
United States. The machinery of pop
ular 'retribution is at hand and well
oiled for every demonstrated betrayal
OF public trust But the great COM
mon people have happily enough COM
mon sense not TO fly into eXcesses OF
rage at the mere suggestion of current
suspiclon. They are not hurting thun-

Scranton is not the only city noted
for it's filthy streets. Reading also has
been disgraced by the untidy condition
of it's thoroughfares and SO intense
was the sentiment of objection that
prominent women of the city formed
street cleaning brigade and this week
sixty of them appeared with sun-bon-
nets and brooms and there was sud-
denly great metamorph0sis in the
aspect Of the particular street which
had merited their especial disapproval.
We should shrink from the sight of
women cleaning the streets of Scran-

form in the broadcast sowing of loose

neatness on the public thoroughfares
will be chroniC!ed unless the women In
