TIE EDISON SToRAGE B4rrERr

In his talk 10 the American Institute of Flee
trical Engineers on Tuesday evening Dr. Ken
nelly showed that some of the expectations
which have been excited in regard IN tbo Fdi
son storage battery are likely to be realized. 1t
can scarcely be doubted. for instance. that the
iron-nickel-potash combination is lighter than
the lead battery. 1t seems probable. too. that
the new accumulatOr will stand moro extreme
cold and better endure the trying operations of
rapid charging and discharge than the old one
Detailed accounts were not afforded but IL Is
credible that the truth on these points has been
fairly well ascertained in the short time which
has elapsed since Mr.. Edison put his invention
in it's present form.
Some of DIR. Kennellys auditors however
were not ready Immediately TO concede the
claim which is made that the new battery will
not deteriorate And il must be admitted that
their attitude has more or less Justification
The soundness of the hopes which have been
entertained on this score are not susceptible of
direct demonstration by few automobile trial
trips. In the nature Of things months If not
years. will be required to establish the facts
Again, those who are familiar with the MANY
different styles Of storage battery which have
been invented and tried in the last fifteen or
twenty years remember only too we'll certain
ldinIul surprises tnat DOfh inventors and buy
crS have experienced Experiments in I-ope-
ling streetcars would be undertaken under The
most favorable auspices. Everything would go
well for time. Then the battery would break
down from one unforeseen cause or another
and ii would be necessary to choose between A
costly renewal a more costly abandonment
of the whole system. Even if the Edison bat
tory should not fail at any of the points sug-
gested in the discussion of DR. Kennellv's
paper, therefore. the history of accumulators
alone excuses, If ii does not absolutely de-
mand, little scepticsm just now concerning
the durability Of the device Should il
prove eventually that Mr.. Edison has been
tIifie too sanguine it would not he the first tire
that such thing has happened in the history
Of invention would 1t be an occasion tor
reproach.
The chief gain TO be effected by an improved
storage battery. whoever perfects ii, will doubt
less he in traction work. \ lighter cell for the
same service means n longer run with the same
weight of battery. This is especially desirable
for electric automobiles, but the improvement
might also lead to renewed use OF accumula-
tors for running streetcars. In time too the
benefits of the new system would be felt in
electric light and power stations where large
accumulation plants have recently been installed
TO equaliZe the fuctuating demand on the en-
glneS.

STANDING IN OPEN CARS.

Alderman Delano's proposal, which has been
adopted by the board. for an investigation into
the nuisance of standing in open cars. and for
the framing of ordinance prohibiting II, is
altogether cOmmendable. But the investiga-
tion need not and should not be Il prolonged
one. We should say that about five minutes
would be sufficient to convince any sane man
of the utter brutality indecency and vileucss OF
the practice and then he would have four and
a half minutes 10 spare
And the thing is as unnecessary. even from
the company's point of view. as It is scandal
ous An open car will carry as many pasSen-
gers seated as n closed one will carry both
seated and standing. Therefore the company
can carry as many passengers in comfort and
decency. with the same number of open cars
that IL carries sardine fashion in the closed
cars. Surely it should be content with that
But whether II is or not it should be made 20 lie
content.
There is no question that ii would he perfect
ly proper TO adopt an ordinance absolutely FRO
hibiting passengers from standing in open cars.
The car company should be made primarily re-
sponsible for the enforcement of the law. That
is TO say 1t should be subject to n penalty for
every passenger 1t permits 10 ride standing.
Then 1t would instruct its agents, the conduc
tors to enforce the rule, just as they now
supposed TO enforce the rules against disorlerly
conduct on the cars. The passenger violating
the law against standing should also be subject
to a penalty for his offence.
Such an ordinance would be valid and could
be enforced. and it would quickly rid us of one
OF the most abominable offences against CO m
fort. decency and morals known in the discred-
liable history of passenger transportation In
this city. Success to Mr.. nclano in his belated
but none the less just and needfu crusade!

GorERXnENT IN HAWAII AND PORTO RICO.

The annual report of Governor Alien of Porto

wicked desire 10 enslave the Porto Ricans and

THE MINISTRY AND HUMANITY.

President Rush Rhees of the University of
Rochester made some pertinent remarks about
preachers and preaching Mt the recent com
mencemcnt of the Rochester Theological Semi
nary. Noting the fact that the training of the
average theological seminary is apt to keep
students for the ministry out of touch with the
real world Of men and women into which they
are 50 soon to be sent teachers and guides,
he finds in the active ministry much that tends
to increase that state of alOofness. In his pull
Pit the preacher Is for the time being supreme
and no matter what he says there is no one to
talk back at him, or else, If he is subjected to
criticism, he is kept from any knowledge of it
until it has ended his usefulness and the knowl-
edge comes too late to serve him as useful
corrective. On the other hand he is often over
praised for the creditable things he has said or
done so that he not infrequently comes to live
IN little imaginary rose colOred world of his
own, and is blissfully ignorant of the not too
friendly estimate of him formed by the people
whom it is most important for him to reach
In great many parishes there is always
little kitchen cabinet of thick and thin pastor
worshippers whose only aim is to screen him
from every breath Of criticism and who lavish
their foolish pity upon him if he is obliged to
face the least trouble or do a bit of genuine
bard work like other men. From such unwisr
friends every genuine. healthy minded minister
must pray TO be delivered
When the spiritual authority of the church

immediate harm was done if the clergy made

The claims they put forth rather implied such

unquestioning faith of the people, often losing
itself in blind creduiIty, insured their continued
interest in the precepts of the church. no mat
ter how aloof the clergy might be. But things
are different now. If the clergy to-day dwell

Probably Hawaii will in time learn 10 manage

IFS difficulties warn us that we cannot make

church to-day TO retain its power over the con-
science of the world is for its clergy to waive
any supposed superior wisdom or power because
OF their ordination and step down among the
workers in the great hive of humanity with
words of cheer, of comfort. of hope for their
fellow men and women. "DO not content your
selves with the life apart said President Rhees
in addressing the young theological students.
Study the people among whom you may be
placed. Remember that every time you make
"a rash statement there is some one in the
audience to challenge it. He may not, and
probably will not. say anything to you about
"it but he will go away and think about it.
"You may know more about theology than your

statement that is not correct about something
''of which your knowledge is slight they will
go away and say that you know nothing about

1t is Indispensable that the discipline at West
Point should be rigid and that it should be
vigorously enforced. 1t is equally imperative
that it should be enforced with scrupulous JUS
tlce, and if reason for complaint on that score
has existed lawful method of laying the facts
before the department has always been avail
able. 1t is reported that owing to representa-
tiOns of this nature some changes among the
officers at the post were contemplated, and If
they are now indefinitely postponed those who
brought about state of affairs which COM
PEELED the department to stand unfinchingly by
the West Point administration are wholly re-
sponsible.
1t is a serious feature of the case that it IN
wolves accusations of bad faith on the part of
the cadets in respect to the promise which they
voluntarily made to abolish hazing at the time
of the Congressional investigation last winter.
That promise was received with great Satisfac-
ton by the civil and military authorities, pro-
duced a most agreeable impression upon the
country and was taken into account in framing
legislation TO repress abuses at the academy.
Since then various incidents have tended to
convey the impression that upper classmen were
avoiding the obligation of that contract. If
they have done they have violated. even ac-
cording to their own somewhat elastic interpre
tation of it, the code of honor. which is the
proudest tradition of the academy and profess
edly,stll its most binding rule of conduct. But
it is only fair to say that they claim to have
abded by n definition of the term "hazng'
which they had reason to think the superinten-
dent accepted. We hope that this is a strictly
honest, if inadequate defence. and that conse-
quently the gravest charge arising out Of this
unhappy affair needs to he withdrawn. But it
is clear that the punishment inflicted on account
of undoubted offences is not too severe, and
that any further acts of INSTRUMENTATION would
demand still more drastic measures. The cadets
must be compelled TO perform, in letter and
spirit, the obligations which they have eagerly
incurred.
