NEW METEoD OF TRACTION.
Hungarian Invention Thnt Promises
to RevoiutiUui4c Motive
Power.

1t was supposed until TIE last mo-
ment that an American concern
would secure the contract for equip
ping the old underground system of
London with electric traction There
were nine tenders. The American bid
ders were the lowest, except Cans &
Co.. of Buda- Pesth. The bid of this
company was not very much below
that of all others, but proposes a sys-
TEN entirely novel, which, if their
claims are substantiatcd, will revo-
lutioniZe the motive power of the
world and supplant all others. The
directors were astonished, and de-
ferred the awarding of the contract.
They will send Il committee and eN-
perts to Buda-Pesth to examine into
the matter. Discussing this PROPOSE
ton. the Engineer, IA newspaper says:
I'VE are not at liberty to give de-
tailed information. We can say, how
ever. that if the statements are sub
Stimulated. Cans & CO. are as far
ahead of the American traction prac-
tice as the Americans tel us they are
ahead of the British. In word, the
new system will do for full-sized rail
ways what hitherto has been possible
for tramways only.
ut is rumored that the American
bidders are determined to get the
contract, and it is a suggestive fact
that underground shares are being
heavily bought OH orders from the
United States. This may be coin
cidence, but the statement is not in
consistent with the practice of trusts,
which endeavor to control matters on
the other side of the Atlantic"

WHAT GEN. HARRISON SAYS.
Imperialism in e Republic as Viewed
by Former Republican
President.

The address of ex-President Har-
rison at the University of Michigan is
In some respects the ablest and most
conclusive argument yet made against
the paradox of imperialism in re-
public. 1t will tend to convince even
Mr.. Mckinley that this question was
not settled by his election, and that.
as the World said on the morning OF
November z:
"The fight against imperialism will not
stop. 1t will go on unconfused hereafter
with the now dead and everlastinglr buried
free-silver fallacy. The Philippines must
be as free as Cuba. The eternal vitality of
the declaration of independence must be
acknowledged. The supremacy of the con-
stitution wherever the flag flies in SOW
sreignty must be admitted"
Gen. Harrison bases his argument
upon the rights of man, divinely or
dained, and upon the nature and re-
quirements of our constitution. He
reminds us that:
Our fathers worshiped very profoundly
their beliefs as to the rights of man. 1t was
their faith, based upon liberty derived
from God 1t was divine gift to be claimed
for our people only upon the condition of
allowing 1t to apply to all men"
And with his minds eye on the presi-
dents policy of benevolent assimila-
ton" he declares that "the man whose
protection from wrongs rests wholly
upon the benevolence of another is a
slave, man without rights"
Attacking the assumption that Porto
Rico and the Philippines can be gov
erned outside the constitution, Gen.
Harrison says: eff the act of annexa-
ton does not carry the constitution I
can think of nothing that does" And
he declares that "a government of un-
limited executive powers is not an
American government" Going direct
ly to the root of the matter, Gen. Har-
rison affirms that the United States
"cannot take over or continue to hold
territory whose people are hostile to
our own government"
1t is not, however, he well says, mere
" a constitutional question; it is "a
question Of the moral law, of con-
cience; we have no right to judge the
capacity for self-government of the
people of another nation, or to take
and annex their land" And the ex-
president mentions the "grayer peril
hanging over u.s." to which the World
called attention when this imperial pol
icy was first disclosed-the danger to
ourselves. care the rights of the peo-
pie upon the mainland secure" he
asks, when we exercise arbitrary pow
er over other people from whom we
demand entire obedience?"
Touching conclusion upon the COM
mercial reason for military expansion,
Gen. Harrison uttered this noble and
truly American sentiment: GOD for
bid that the day should ever come
when the thought of man as a con-
sumner should absorb that grand old
doctrine that man is creation of God
endowed with unalienable rights!"-

THE SHIP SUBSIDY SCHEME.
A Plan to Mulct the Producers to
Benefit the Wealthy Ship
Ownera

More light is thrown on the PROPOSE
ton to pay the ship owners $9.OOo,0o
bounty out of the pockets of the tax
payers every year for 20 years by the
Portland Oregonian, which thus de-
scribes the situation at the Portland
docks:
There are 20 ships in this port to-
day, all loading wheat and -four for
Europe, Africa and the orient. These
20 ships are owned by II different indi-
viduals or firms. They will carry away
about 2,5oo,0OO bushels of wheat,
grown by at least 1900 farmers, who
receive no subsidy for growing wheat
in competition with the pauper labor Of
India, Russia and the Argentine. Hav-
ing no protection whatever in their
business, these 1900 farmers should
not be forced to pay subsidy tax to
increase the already large profits of the
II ship owners, who are carrying their
produce to market-not from any pa
triotic motive, but because there is
money in the business. With the ex.
ception of couple of French vessels
none of the feet now in the rfvhr Draws
subsidy from any government. They
sail the world over, taking cargo wher-
ever it can be found, and successfully
competing with other ships.'
This is the whole case against the
subsidy in a nutshell. It is proposed
that 1900 producers shall pay II ship
owners for transporting the product
to market price sufficient to yield a
reasonable profit; and that, in addi-
ton, the producers shall join with the
rest of us in paying bounty to the
shipowners, in recognition of their
kindness, we presume, in consenting to
make a living instead of running for
Office.
The thing is so preposterous il is in.
credible that any political leader with
the slightest regard for his reputation
should be willing TO appear as it's apol-
ogist and advocate.
If it goes through congress and be-
comes law. the ship-subsidy bill will
prove to be the deadliest blight to pub
lie mems careers the country has
known since the infamous SALARY
grab" Senator's and representatives
who have any ambition to continue in
the services of the nation, to say moth
ing of rising in it, should take warning
in time.-Chicago Journal (Rep).

been for some time in the hands of

ties. says the New ork World, and

word will any of the men who are ne

Great secrecy has been maintained
by all who are in any way connected

been ascertained that negotiations
were pending, and that E. j. Wendell,
prominent and enthusiastic Harvard
alumnus, 10 certain extent repre-
sented his alma mater in the matter.
Ever since the two American college
teams of runners, jumpers and weight
putters crossed the Atlantic in 1899
and were beaten by the English coll
legians by one point, Harvard and
Yale alumni have been striving to get
the English teams to meet the Ameri-
cans at home. The plan is to have
Oxford and Cambridge pay visit
here, and have the contests come off
on neutral grounds, preferably Man
haitian field, New York.
The English athletes are willing to
come, and might have been here dur
ing the past summer if the Americans
could have come to some agreement
about the place of meeting. Harvard
wanted Cambridge. Yale insisted up
on New Haven. Harvard wanted one
date, Yale another. While they We're
trying to agree the British teams
were depleted by some of their best
men going to South Africa to fight

Now, however, men have become in
terested in the controversy between
Yale and Harvard that are more in
terested in the games themselves than
in the place or date of holding them,
and there is every reason to believe
that the British collegians will be
