IS THE FLYING AGE COMING?

NJ. Santos Dumont IL quoted as say
ing that, In his opinion It is only
question Of a few years before regular
transatlantic air ship lines win be es-
tabllshed between New York and
Paris That sounds strange when the
present imperfect state Of air natIga-
ton Is considered But. If Fulton, or
Bell, In their time should have predict
ed that in less than a century, steam
beats would be plying between all the
principal parts Of the world and that
the time of transatlantic voyage
would be reduced from months to few
days, they. too, would have been con-
sidered dreamers and Missionaries. With
the concentration Of human intelli
gence, as at present, ON the solution Of
the problem Of air navigation, practl-
cal results are sure 10 be obtained.
And when the solution is found, II
win probably be 80 simple az TO create
astonlshment that II was not discovered
long ago.
NJ Dumont appears 20 feel confident
that his type Of airsh!p IS the one on
which future flying machines win be
modelled But this opinion is not held
by all who have given thought and
study to the subject MIR. Maxim,
among others. thinks that the aero
plane is the coming alrship. In all
probability the two types viii have to
be combined. A machine IN which the
weight is neutralized by gas enclosed
in compartments should be possible to
move in any direction desired, by some
contriyance similar to the wings of a
bird. That aerial vehicles can be
steered under certain conditions, NJ
Dumont has certainly demonstrated.
Mr. Maxim has announced his inten-
ton of devotlng the remainder Of his
life to the airship problem. He is also
said TO have offered a prize Of 100000
to the inventor OF successful flying
properly protected by patents
That Is a prize for which inventors
may consider It worth while devoting
time and thought.

are very generally enthusiasts for con
stitutIonai government. Some Of them
believe In the doctrine Of violence, and
are willing to sacrifice themselves for
that misguided faith.
A Russian lady, In a letter on the
subject OF Russian students published
in the Boston Transcript gives a very
good idea Of the hopes and aspirations
Of young Russia. though she, evidently
is not in sympathy with the new IDEAS,
She pictures the Russian student at
the age Of eighteen, when American
students are absorbed In baseball and
German students In beer-gardens, as a
young ideallst already conyersant with
the writings Of the philosophers OF the
world, and dreaming OF schemes for
the improvement OF the condition OF
humanity
According 10 that lady the Russian
student has really no cause for CONE
plant. Great reforms for the schools
are contemplated. In the early fall the
Russian student win have as much lib
erty as his brethren In other countries.
He viii have his own laws, and II he
does not submit to them. he Will be
tried by judges elected by himself, The
right Of public meetings viii be given to
him. He will choose his own represent
tatlves at meetings, hitherto prohibited.
The rector OF the university viii be
elected by the collegiate for a term OF
three years and the professors, besides
an Increase Of salary, viii have more
advantages than the professors Of the
universities OF other countries RUS
sta" the lady says, is by degrees
breaking with conservatism and tradi-
ton. but we Russians hope and trust
that we have also broken with the for
elgn yoke imposed upon us since the
days Of Peter the Great"
II would appear from this, that the
Russian trouble In which the university
students figure SO largely is aiming at
more far-reaching results than those
affecting the management Of the insti-
tutes OF learning, since such reforms
are already under way ind viii soon
take effect II Is due, In fact, to a re-
volt against despotlsm as such. The
fight Is on against what is regarded as
tyranny in the civil and ecclesiastical
government. 1t is fought partly on
nihilistc principles and that Is a
great mistake. For crime will strength
en- the opposition TO reform. There will
be a series OF harsh measures, by
which many viii be intlmidated and
abandon the reform cause, The old
government Institutions command the
devotion Of the common people, and
these will but be strengthened In this
devotion, as they see the leaders Of re-
form movements resort to murder for
the furthepnce OF their cause

POSTAL CHECK CURRENCY.

The Postal Currency bill, which has
been introduced In both houses Of Con-
gress, Is receiving attention from a
great many newspapers. 1t Is a mea-
sure that should obtain the support OF
the public and we hope utah's repre-
sentatlyes at the scat OF government
will do all that lies in their power to
forward II that 1t may speedily become

posed, is a convenient form Of currency
for the transaction OF small business

problem how to safely transmit small
sums OF money through the mails.
when the sender has no bank account
upon which to draw checks. The fol-
lowing explanation Of 1t is made by
the Washington. ID. c., Star:
The proposed Post Check IL nothing
more than an ordinary government note
so printed as TO permit It's transforma-
ton quickly into a yeritable check. BY
aiiixing stamp and writing upon pro-
Nided spaces the name and address OF
the payee this note becomes money
order payable only to the payee. Thus

result of this system, incidentally. will
be TO keep the circulating notes in a
fresher, cleaner condition. The plan is
effectively supplemented by q proposed
series Of fractional post checks, which
will remedy one of the petty nuisances
now affecting the business world.

TO LET MEAT ALONE,

Throughout the country there Ia a
great deal Of talk Of the adoption Of q
vegetarian diet for some time, II only
for the purpose Of testing the effect OF
that experiment on the operations Of
the beef trust. In one place "A move
mc.' has been started among the busl-
ness men, TO get citizens to promise TO
reduce their meat consumption for two
weeks. Nobody objects TO high prices
as a result Of natural causes But the
supposition is that the retail dealers
in meat are no longer free to compete
and sell at the best figures they can,
but they are simply agents, compelled
to buy and sell at artihclally fixed
prices. That is what people object to.
That practice is death to competition.
II Is unlawful, too, and should be
fought. II Is gratifying to know that
those who object to being yictmized by
meat packers have Il In their own power
to regulate the consumption. They are
not compelled TO grin and bear IT,"
There are so many good things to eat
In the country, that nobody Is depen-
dent upon any one article Of food, par
ticularly not upon animal food

THE BRITISH CORN LAWS.


New York Evening Sun.
In spite OF his brave air Of assur-
snce Sin Michael Hicks-B Beach was
eating his own words when he outlined
the government policy. Time and
again the chancellor Of the exchequer
had announced In the House of Com
mons and outside It, that he, for one,
was unalterably opposed to the imposi-
ton OF bread duties lie used to declare
that though conservatives might not
entirely agree with liberals as to the
virtues Of free trade, yet free trade
had been accepted as an accomplished
fact by English statesmen and so, hav-
ing put its hand 10 the pillow, the ma
tion could not look back.

Sir Michael Hicks Beach said he did
not think the price OF bread would be
affected by duty on grain and -four,
but It is now claimed that the an
nouncement of the intention Of impos-
ing duty on those articles has al
ready been followed by an advance
Of two shllllngs a sack on the -four and
corresponding advance on the price OF
wheat, That does not look well for the
doctrine that the import taxes are paid
by the foreigners.
