IANMANN AND OTHERS.


The public announcement of Hon
William c. Whitney. ex-Secretary of
the navy, of his support of the Tam
many candidate Edwin NJ. Shepard for
Mayor of New York, is bomb in the
Republican camp Mr.. Whitney's high
character and independence will cause
his endorsement of Mr.. Shepard to
work a mighty change in the views of
large class of voters who have faith
in Mr.. Whitney's sterling integrity and
good judgment, but who have been in
fuenced by the hue and cry which it
seems to be the fashion to raise against
Tammany before every election and
which IS voiced by every newspaper
of prominence in New York.
There is no question that the rule
of Croker and Tammany is corrupt, but
the amount Of sincerity there is in
those Republican organs which have a
biennial fit over Tammanv rule may
be measured ny the fact that the
same viftuous= organs have never
word to say against the rule of the
Republican ring N New York's near
peighbor. Philadelphia, which is inin-
itely more rotten to-day than Tam
many rule was even under Boss Tweed.
The people of Philadelphia are openly
robbed and the public thieves hardly
take the trouble 20 attempt to conceal
their operations. since no matter how
phia vote and no matter how large che
honest majority piled up against the
ring candidates. the ring always shows
majority in the ballot boxes. Elec
tions in New York city are honest, and
under the machine voting system in
operation there there is little oppor-
tunity for fraud and none at all for
ballot-box stuffing In Philadelphia on
the other hand it is notorious that
fraudulent votes are cast at every cleo
ton by the tens of thousands, while
the police in uniform openly bulldoze,
intimidate and falsely arrest voters at
the polls. Every policeman is heller
for the ring.
Tammany rule, with all its police
rake offs" in the Tenderloin, is ideal
and perfection itself compared TO the
municipal government of Philadelphia.
(which has been proven to be beyond
Question the worst and most corruptly
governed city in the world.
Yet the Pharisees of the Republican
press, who raise their hands and eyes
in pious horror at Tammany's pecca-
dilloes, offer congratulations every time
the Philadelphia political bandits steal
an election.

Such a terrible fire disaster rs that

AN ADJUNCT OF THE ELECTRIC
RAIIWAS

There is no factor more important
in the municipal development and
expansion Of Greater Wheeling
than the electric railway, which brings
our suburbs and even distant towns
within easy reach, consolidating the
population of the surrounding country
with its business centre.
Speaking of the development of the
electric railway. the Electrical Review
notes as one of the results of inter
urban railway lines the extension of
electric lighting into many small
towns which were formerly without
1.-THE light of the future The railway
companies take contracts for lighting
the towns along their lines. 1T is
easy" says the Review. where poly
phase generation is employed, to in-
stall apparatus operated by the feed
current for the railway lines TO light
such towns, and the economies result
ing from the generation of current in
bulk and its transmission at high pres
sure enable such companies often to
undertake local lighting in small places
profitably at lower cost than would
be possible for local lighting corpor-
alton. This has been especially notice
able in the Middle West. where inter
urban lines abound, and is of consider
able interest as showing the existence
of a kind of by-product which may be
disposed of by the generating plants
for such railways"
The electric railway is tremendous
lever in municipal progress and eX-
pansion, and is one of the most import
ant factors in building up and cement
ing the Greater Wheeling.

Testing a Child's Endurance.

Endurance is perhaps the most imp0r-
tant thing to study in figuring out how
child should be treated at school, says
Edward Marshall in Frank Leslie's Pop
ular Monthly. For a lack of it must
certainly mean in the school child a lack
of mental endurance Up to a point
mind may triumph over body. The de
termined pupil may, by sheer power of
will, force a weak body to endure long
school hours and close application, de-
spite weak physical frame. But the
child at school is, Of course, in the fOrma-
tive period. and therefore undue strain is
especially to be avoided during those par
ticular years which are spent in school,
hence the usefulness of the ergOgraph.

machines used in the study of school chill

perfectly adjusted a metrOnomp. the i'll
Strnment used to beat time when chill

The child under investigation was in
structed to raise the middle finger of the
locked hand every time the metronome
beat. After the finger was raised it was
to be lowered as steadily as possible. 1t
was arranged that in ninety seconds the
finger should be- raised forty five times.
