of the Georges. Happily for her, Victoria was
framed with the greatest care to her prospective
elevation TO the throne by her mother, who was
woman of commanding common sense. A few
aays after Victoria was proclaimed queen the
one snd only scandal In connection with court life
curing her memorable reign took place. II scan

hardly be credited at the present day. the cabinet

ms brought on a political crisis which was
called "The Bed.chambcr Scandal" The queen
triumphed and her domestic life since became the
localized model Of all the courts Of Europe.
Queen Victoria detestcd war as a woman and as
a sovereign. When she told her soldiers setting
Out for war on returning from it that ner heart
bled for them and their families, she meant what
she said not as an expression Of royal bcnignity,
but as index to her feelings as deep as it was
sincere. She was womanly woman in her pri
vate life, loving her children and her friends
with the mothery feelings and affections of the
humblest woman in her realms. Her husband,
the late Prince Consort, died comparatively early
IN life and through her long widowhood she was
afflicted, probably with more family bercavc.

influence in elevatng the moral tone Of English
society was immense. She permitted woman
to approach her court with whose name the

or naval officers whose moral regulations became

it instantly.
Nictoria's reign has been coevai with the So
cial industrial and material progress of the
century as see 1t around today in its multi
farious and phenomenal activities and ramifca-
tions. But, above all, Queen Victoria will be
singled out in history as the monarch whose
reign, in the words of John Bright, 'need6d no

at the rate OF fifteen miles per hour,
and. running light, have made the trip
through the tunnel at sixty-elght
miles per hour. These locomotives, on
such a grade as can be built from Buff
falo 10 New York, could haul fifty
pressed steel cars with a capacity of
fifty tons live load. $500 tons of freight
per train. and the average work with
such freight as has been handled BY
per train, not six months, but twelve
months in the year.
"A double track railroad, with middle
passing sidings, handling only car load
lots, estimating on a basis of eight
million tons east-bound and two mill
ion tons west-bound freight, allowing
the railroad, with equipment and ter
minals. to cost 800, 900, 900, could move
freight for less than 81 per ton. or s
cents per hundred, 3 cents per bushel
car load lots, at owners risk, whether
sixth class or first class. We can bet
ter appreciate what this means when
local rate could be made so that

New York for Az cents per hundred,
Syracuse cents. Rome and Utica 3b
cents, Amsterdam and Schenectady 3
cents, and Kingston and Newburg 2
cents per hundred; or, in the case of
the latter cities, for less amount per
ton than 1t costs the coal dealers to
deliver a ton of coal to a private resi-
dence anywhere in the CITY,"
While the foregoing is of greater in
terest to New Workers. than to others,
1t has suggestive value which is gen.
eral. In many communities are canals
about ready to be condemned. In other
communities are abandoned railroad
rights Of way, already graded and
easily convertible into roadbeds for
electric freight trains. To this must
be added the numerous passenger
street railways that hunger and thirst
for legislative permission to carry
parcel and bulk freight. Soon these
possibilities will be realized. 1t is
doubtful If the steam railroads, with
all their potency at state capitals, can
much longer postpone the inevitable.
AS matter of fact many shrewd
steam railway officials are quietly pre-
pairing to occupy the electrical field
themselves, furnishing the capital to
fgurehead trolley corporations with a
view to pre-empting available fran
chises.

Electric Conveyance of Freight.
MANY years one Of the
II most perplexing problems in
IL New York state has been
what Jispncitinp IN malta nf

most perplexing problems in
Il New York state has been
what disposition to make of
spent on this unsatisfactory waterway
and millions more must be spent un-
less it be abandoned, but those who
argue for its abandonment have hith-
erto offered no substitute.
1t has remained for a former city
Ehrehart. to supply this missing link.
In letter to the Engineering News he
proposes to construct an electric
freight railway on the canal right of
way and work a revolution in the
costs of transportation. Such a road,
he points out, would traverse the en-
tire state without grade crossing,
and by constructing u tunnel four
miles long southeast of Schenectady,
freight can be hauled from Buffalo to
New York and raised less than fifty
feet in the entire distance. and part
of this amount of elevation Is only re-
quired to modify the grades in Roches-
ter, Syracuse and Utica. AS to the
possibilities of electrical transmission
he says
THE state has unlimited water
power at Niagara; 1t has 20 feet head
at Lockport for all the water it can
carry to that point; it has 30 feet head
at Rochester, with the great storage
reservoir at Portage at it's command;
1t has 800 feet head at Rome on the
Black River canal, with large storage
capacity in the Adirondacks; II has 40
feet head at Little Falls on the Mo-
hawk river; 1t has 200 feet head In the
Mohawk river from Schenectady to
Troy, which can all be utilized, with
storage reservoirs on Schoharie creek
and East and West Canada creeks.
Economical transmission is now pos
sible at fifty miles, and will probably
soon reach seventy-five miles. Thus II
will require but two stations on the
Hudson river, one about Fonda on the
Mohawk, and one between Syracuse
and Rochester. to be operated with
steam with coal for fuel. Even in these
last districts there is considerable
water power controlled by the state
that can be used.
'rhe three electric locomotives of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad have been
In constant service for several years
and have proved a complete success.
These locomotives haul thirty-five
loaded cars up a fcrty-two' foot grade

las was likewise the most
l. illust.roIs AMI the most
CYditabe reign in British
history. The chronology which we
published in yesterdays issue present.
ed n brief abstract of some of the more
notable political incidents compacted
within the 63 12 years of this gracious
sovereignty; but it was in the mental
and moral progress of the English
people during the Victorian era that
history will find its most gratifying
materials.
Readers of Thackeray have had in
sight into the social conditions and at
mosphere of court life under the sway
of the reprobate George ". 1t was
into this air of dehauchery and un-
cleanness that Victoria was called in
her 18th year by the death of the color
less William ". At that time it may
in truthfulness be sail that intem-
perance was the rule among the men
and chastity probably the exception
among the women of the court. How
by quiet tact. staunch virtue and
faultless example Victoria changed all
this until in the later years of her
reign the British court was recognized
throughout the world as the cleanest
in Europe, is fact properly citable as
among the most noteworthy of her
achievements, for it reveals the spirit
of her reign and the uplifting and
wholesome trend of her sovereign in
fuences.
What Victoria did for the improve
ment of the maners and morals of her
immediate environment she did with
equal tact for the encouragement of
general education and philanthropy.
Not only by money did she give more
in aid of humane purposes than any
predecessor or contemporary, but the
benefit of her counsel, patronage and
influence could always be counted upon
in behalf of a worthy purpose. The
democratic spirit of these modern
times does not present the same per-
spective as does history for correct
view of the outlines of monarchical
influences and achievement; but in the
universal and intensely personal grief

plunged may be found a testimonial
to Nictoria's worth which no ordinary
sovereign of colorless record and mega
tive character could hope to command
AS facts hitherto held in confidence
are revealed, We shall know presently
That Victoria was much more than a
hgure-head sovereign. The world will
learn that until almost the last minute
she fulfilled conscientiously and ably
the functions devolving upon her
queenly office, directed the course of
ministries, shaped the ends of foreign
and domestic policy, and was in large
degree instrumental in the choice of
the right men for grave emergencies
This did not always appear on the sur
race. Since the death of George III
no English sovereign has undertaken
to rule by sheer force. Victoria en-
ployed diplomacy womanly intuition
and tact. But she ruled and she led
The glory of her reign and the credit
are fairly hers, Many of its mistakes
would not have appeared had she had
more power.
