REGARDING THE GOLD DEMOCRAT

a Republican Congress and q Republican
President gave the country a gold standard
law. Gold Democrats received from the Repub-

get from the Democratic party. and yet num-
Der of thoughtless people assert that they can
now support Mr.. Bryan, as the enactment of
the present currency law has, they say, removed
the strongest reason which induced them to
vote the Republican ticket four years ago. In
other words. having received from the Repub-
hcan party the boon they asked, these people
are ready to lend their votes TO cause the very
object of which is to upset the conditions that
are responsible for current National credit and

NOVELTIES IN ELECTRIC TRACTION.

The intention of the Manhattan Railway Com
pany to use electricity in hauling It's trains is
chiefly interesting, of course, because OF the
more convenient service which is thus promised.
Freedom from smoke and cinders a quicker
attainment of high speed on leaving stations a
shortening of the time required for long runs
and other incidental benefits may be expected
to result from this long talked of but much
postponed change. But the recent announce
Inent of the company's plans also satisfies in
measure the curiosity that has been felt in
regard to certain technical features of the sys-
TEN. The art of electric traction has been more
highly developed in the United States than In
any other country, although its evolution has
occurred within period of only eleven years,
and though 1t has not yet attained perfection.
1t is natural to ask, therefore, how far the
Manhattan company is likely to profit by the
experience of other cities
Four methods Of applying electricity to the
movement of trains have been tried. The stor-
age battery system has proved so unsatisfac-
tory that at present 1t is out Of the question
On some of the Chicago elevated roads the
Brooklyn Elevated and the Bridge third rail
has been resorted to for supplying current and
one of the train is equipped with motors
heavy enough to move all of the others. The
motor car looks like the ''trailers," however.
liminary experiments now being conducted on
the old underground steam lines at the British
capital indicate that this plan will eventually be
pursued there on the Metropolitan and District
roads. Thirdly, there is the Baltimore tunnel
venture. Heavy through expresses and freights
transferred from part of the Monu-
mental City to another by means of an electric
engine which is as distinct, If not as large a
machine the steam locomotive which it re-
places. Independent engines are also to be
used by the Central London underground line
which is shortly TO go into operation, and which
is the most up to date enterprise OF its kind on
the other side of the Atlantic. The latest cleo
trio traction system, however is the multiple
unit" devised by Sprague. 1t provides every car
in the train, whether few or many. with motors
and controllers, like many trolley cars and
utiliZes the whole electrical equipment at once.
The apparatus is so interconnected that one
man can operate 1t as effectively as the engi-
neer of a steam locomotive manages the air
brakes of all the coaches behind him. In Chi
cago, where for more than year the scheme
has been in practice, high opinion of its value
is entertained.
The Manhattan company has adopted modl-
fed form OF this system. II does not equip all
of its cars with motors, but II viii put a motor
car at each end of a train. The most obvious
advantage thus secured viii be a saving of time
at terminal stations, through the avoidance of

the necessity for detaching and shifting the

ventor of the multiple unit system sought TO
attain was to make 1t equally easy to handle
big and little trains by having the motive ma

rolling stock to be moved. He made Ii feasible
to adapt the service to the fiuctuating demands
