Punish the Railroad.

Gnlon Springs Herald.
 The Herald does not claim to have
 wise a head as we give many mem
 ITS of the Convention the credit of possessing; but we have an opinion on the manner in which some have been trying to deprive State officers of free passes. and this opinion of ours Is. the Convention tried to get into the wagon by climbing over the horse, and when it reached the rear end of the animal. it was kicked overheard. The simplest way in the word to effect the end that endless number of ordinances aims at, is to so construct the law as to make the railroad which grants the free pass guilty of an offense. At last this point was touched by one ordi- nance. but it was hung on the tail end as a minor feature.
 Another opinion we have is, that the Convention does nothing but waste time over this free pass question, for 1t is not a constitutional measure further than providing for the legls- lature to make laws to govern the matter.
 Early in the session of this Conven- tion. The Herald expressed itself fully on the subject. ana woman-like. i've are of the same opinion still"

Honest people all over this country will watch with interest the efforts being made in Pennsylvania, and es- pecially in Philadelphia. to get rid of the corruption existing in connection with all elections. When a physician has an exceedingly aggravated case of any disease to deal with. the result is watched with interest. on the theory khat if very bad case can be cured. Those of lesser intensity can be man aged. So. if the politics of PhiladeI- phia can be purified, we may feel sure khst no case is hopeless. and the efforts of the reformers in that city and State are of national interest

THE WONDERFUL EDISON.

As Is well known. one of the great obstacles to the general use of cleo tricity as a motive power is the fact that it Is not portable. if we may use that expression. A steam-engine can be fixed to carriage, railroad train or a ship, and, with a supply of fuel and water, it Is independent of any stationary source of power and goes its own way. A small dynamo can be set up in the house to run a sewing ma chine or a churn, a printing press or saw mill, or anything else, large or small, but in all classes it must be con- nected by wire or otherwise with a fountain head from which it cannot be disconnected.
 This lack of portability, it is claimed. has been supplied by Edison, who is fast reaching the position of Master of Electricity. He believes that he has about perfected a storage battery which will be equal to all the demands that may be made on it, and that will cause the electric fluid to take the place of all other power. both stationary and portable, and it is said that many prominent electricians in the country declare their confidence in the final success of his efforts.
 It is not claimed. of course. that he has perfected a method by which any movable vehicle can manufacture it's own power. but what he does claim Is a storage battery which can be placed in a carriage, a house or a mill. and in which power can be stored. just as water can be stored in a tank. and then be disconnected from the source O;

 The Constitutional Convention did exactly right in passing the ordinance prohibiting the acceptance or use of free railroad passes by the legislative or judicial officers of Alabama. We are afraid though that unless provision Is made to offer the prosecutor. say. one- half of the $500 imposed for each con- viction that officials will find some ruse to elude the law.

 .lRhe Advertiser led the fight against the free pass evil and deserves all the credit for victory so gloriously won. The Advertiser showed great enter prise in working up and crystallizing public sentiment against free passes and the members of the Convention could not stand the issue when their votes went on record before the people of Alabama. This itself should be reason enough for it's defeat. The rail- roads as we'll have reason to congrau- ulate themselves of being rid of the octopus.

The Richmond Dispatch says:

far:
 The Richmond Dispatch says:
 u must be warmer in Alabama than 1t is in Virginia-warmer in Montgom- cry than in Richmond-but the Consti- tuuonal Convention of that State is going along quietly and methodically with it's work, and has made substan- tial progress in framing a suffrage article. Having discussed and dissect- ed many plans, it has concluded that the grandfather clause" Is the best it can find to meet a difficulty which ob- tains there, as well as in Virginia.
 We much fear that the Committe on Suffrage of the Virginia Constitutional Convention has not made great pro- gress in framing a suffrage article. It is said that it has agreed upon a $150 poll tax and $500 property qualif1ca- tion; but what provision it contem- plates making to include in the electo- rate many desirable voters who cannot qualify under those provisions, we do not know
 The committee has sought and ob- tained authority to sit during the re- cess of the Convention, and certainly will avail itself of that privilege. Af- ter deleg ltes have returned to their homes and talked with their constitu- ents: after they have mingled with the members of the State Democratic Con- vention in Norfolk, perhaps they will get light not now vouChsafed them.
 Every day our Committee on Suffrage capacities it's work it will correspond ingly advance the work of the Consti tutional Convention, and save the Com monwealth $500. That alone is worth laboring for; but even greater interests are at stake. It won't do for the Con- vention to drift and drift along aim lessly. as it would seem.
 We'll not be in good shape politi cally in November, if the new Consti- tuition bC not then framed. How can the g'slators then elected be pledged to sup Jort an unborn Constit ution? And if the z be unpledged. what sort of body wilDwe have to give effect and force to the new Constitution?
 Meanwhile the Alabamians are plod- ding on, making progress day by day.
