THE water engineer of Baltimore
wants to know whether or not the city
can hold an electric railway company
responsible for the destruction of water
pipes along the route OF the oompapy's
csr lines by electrolysis and the ques-
ton has been referred to the law de.
psrtment. 1t seems that a great
amount of pipe has been eaten away by
electricity which escapes from the
trolley system and runs into the
ground. The pipes are so badly eaten
away in places, 1t lie said, that 1t Is inn
possible for the householders to get a
supply of water. This question is now
confronting all cities and towns where
electric railway lines are laid on streets
where there are iron gas and water
pipes. In this city the effect OF cleo.
trolysis is being felt and the cost OF re-
laying pipes, unless some remedy Is
found, will soon figure as an i'm portant
item on the city's expense account

THE POSITIVE, If not prompt, state

THE POSITIVE, If not prompt, state
mept made by Mr.. Mckinley yester-
day that he would not be third
term candidate for President should
stop all such talk on that subject. Mr..
McKinley's good sense. II he is left
alone, frequently prompts him to do the
right thing and to strike the popular
cord Of public opinion, but he is too apt
to be governed by designing men. La
this instance, however. there Is no
uncertain sound In what he says on the
third term subject, and now Mr.. De-
pew and Mr.. Grosvenor should cease
their silly methods Of advertising them
selves. What Washington would not
accept and what no other President
could secure was hardly to be given to
Mr.. Mckinley ct the suggestion OF q
few men who have Interior motives In
view. President Grant tried his best
to secure a third term, but with sli the
force he welded ct the time he was
turned down by his own party which
was not willing to break the precedent
set by Washington, knowing that the
people would not have 1t 30. Nobody
knows better than Mr.. Mckinley that
ifiit were possible under any
conditions to set aside the unwrltten
rule which Washington established
and the powerful partissns of Grant
tried in vain to defy, deep and wide
spread resentment and bitterness would
inevitably result, and he has done well 10
repudisting the third term suggestion Of
Messrs. Depew and Grosvepor. 1t ia
recalled that many years ago some oil
the most prominent men now alive
voted 10 Congress against the election
OF anybody to the presidency more
than twice. The opportunity to do go
was afforded by a resolution intro
duced in the House by w. M. Springer,
democrat, of Illinois, on December 10.
1875. The resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That in the opinion Of this House
the precedent established by Washington and
other Presidents Of the United States in retir-
ing from the Presidential Office after their
second term has become by universal concur
renee, part OF our republican system OF gov
eminent, and that any departure from this
time -hoDored custom would be unwise, I'M.
patriotic, and frsught with peril to our free
institutions.
The resolution was adopted by the
overwhelming majority OF 2S3 ayes to
IS noes, republicans vieing with demo
Gratis in placing themselves on record
on this important matter.

THE Southern Industrial Convention
is In session in Philadelphia and the
southern business men In attendance
have been given q warm welcome. The
convention was gotten up by Phila-
deIphia merchants to win back the
trade from the South that city has lost,
but is feared that some OF the delegates
will make 1t an opportunity for gush
which Is not approved of ct home or
expected Ia the North. For Instance,
J. Adger Smytb. the Mayor Of Charles
ton, said to the staff correspondent of
the North American: "The fact should
not be overlooked that the people Of
the South are no longer Hottentots."
Now II Mayor Smyth wishes to infer
that the people Of the South ever were
Hottentots he has grstutlously SLAM
dered them and should be called home.
Then, Mr.. Hugh Gordon Miller, OF
Norfolk, assistant y. 6. district at
torney and dslegate-at-large from Vir-
ginia by appointment OF Gov. Tyler,
said yesterday; ave, the younger
generation OF the South, are tired oil
80 much politics. except as they help to
build up our common country" Now
If Mr.. Miller means that the younger
generation are tired OF bis kind Of
politics he is certainly right. but be
must speak for himself alone concern

VAIN PLAN TO sURPAss NATURE

VAIN PLAN TO SURPAss NATURE
German chemists believe that "blood
oranges" are arti6cially colored, and
they have been trying to initiate them.
Consul Hughes, reporting from Coburg,
says: "There is great demand in
Germany, for the so-called italian
blood orange The popular idea here
is that this fruit is colored, not by ma
ture, but by injects of some artificial
vegetable dye. To discover the truth
or fsllsoy of this belief several we'll
known German chemists have been ex-
perimenting, first, to find out from the
blood orange itself if its color ia due to
artificial means, and, secondly, to
change the common Italian orange into
blood orange by injections Of different
kinds of coloring matter. The expert
ments, however, have not been attend
ed with success. 1t Yves found that no
single ipj lection OF any solution would
color more than one part OF the orange,
and that II several injections we're
made the fruit was likely to decompose
very quickly. The theory was then
advanced that the coloring was pro-
cured by watering the roots OF the
trees with blood-red vegetable solu-
ton. 1t is needless to say this expert
ment was as barren OF results as the
first"
