A speed of los miles an hour has
been secured on the electric road be-
tween Zossen and Marienfeld in Ger
many, and the engineers express the
conviction that the limit has not yet
been reached. This is said to be the
highest speed ever attained by any OBJ
ject mechanically propelled, except pro-
jectiles fired from guns. 1t is not to
be understood that this great speed
was secured on regular schedules, but
in special experiments. 1t is predict
ed, however, that 1007miles an hour
schedules are within sight.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham Age-Herald DEM
says: THE entire Dingley tariff is di-
rected against the home customer,
handing profits over to the employer,
who is expected TO divide with the en-
ploye, but who forgets as rule to do
anything of the kind, When the con-
sumner becomes intelligent enough to
see the real nature of the Dingley tar
if, there will be a change, but there
will be none before. In a full analY-
sis the tariff will be found at the bot
tom of most of the recent advances in
the cost of living, while it has not in
creased wages in proportion"
The New York World (Dem.) says:
ITO fortify the canal means expense
in time of peace and the diversion of
energy in war time that would be bet
ter employed in prosecuting the war
or defending our own coasts. And not
the least important. IL would mean a
senseless defiance TO Europe and a
most unwise irritation to all the sus-
picious little republics to the south OF
us. Why shouldn't England be will
ing? Why should she discourage us
in squdndering money on making our
selves ridiculous and unpopular"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
THE whole system Of tariff protection
Is radically unjust. II is morally as
well as economically wrong. just as
slavery was wrong-morally and every
other way. The only way 20 settle II
finally is 10 dig Il up by the roots and
cast Il out utterly and forever All
temporizing and palliative schemes
win fail, because they win leave the
wrong unredressed, the multlform evil
unremedied."

There will probably be a let-up in
the building of submarine boats for the
navy. No recommendations for new
vessels of the class have been made
or will be made by the Secretary of

When the boats already authorized
have proved their usefulness there may

An agent of the Russian national
railroad system is in this country for
the purpose of purchasing sleeping
cars for the line between Moscow and
Port Arthur. The cars are to be ship
ped in sections and put together at
Moscow. The reason American cars
are TO be bought is that they can be
had more quickly and at better prices
than cars from European flrms-the
reason which sends foreign purchasers
to the United States for locomotives
when they want good engines within
short space of time. The Russian
agent said the time was not far dis
tant when a traveller would be able to
go from Moscow to Pekin in about two
weeks, without changing cars, and that
eventually the trip would be cut down
to about twelve days.

There is movement in Virginia to
erect a memorial to John Smith, of
Jamestown colony and Pocahontas
fame. But our friends had better go
slowly Are they quite sure there ever
was John Smith? Recently there
has been an effort to convince Geor-
gians that there never was such per-
son as Nancy Hart. whose memory we
have hitherto revered for her heroism
as set forth in history. If Nancy Hart
was myth, as we have recently heard,
may it not be possible that the story of
Smith and the princess is also the fig
rnent of somebody's imagination? In
these days of Maclay there is nothing
like being sure Of your history.
