The general election this year will be
Tuesday, November 4 and the days on which
the registration board will sit will be
Thursday. October 2S, Friday, October "a

at 50. 900. 900 was excessive az the value OF

phone exchanges sprang UP like mush-
rooms all over the country, but more par
t~icularly in the middle and northwestern
states. and by ieO0-1s01 they had attained
a total Of about 1850 exchanges with 7O0,-
600 subscribers and an investment OF $780,
100000, apparatus being furnished by at
least threescore manufacturers. Il will
be observed that the output Of apparatus
for telephone purposes in 1900 reached
S10,512 ,412. scattered through nearly a score
OF states. These figures, however, are
strictly those Of the manufacturing side OF
the industry, and do not take any account
Of the far more striking data to be de-
rived from a study Of the subject after this
apparatus had gone into service and is in
the hands OF the public. II will suflce to
point out that in 1900 the United States
showed a per capita Of one telephone in
forty, while in some places. such as San
Francisco, It had reached one in twelve, a
rate that leads the world, and which has
since been growing with unprecedented rap
idity.

Trolley Against Railroads.

The New York Central road nnds itself
involved in a contest which, before long,
unless the signs of the times fall, will be
a common experience to most railroads in
the thickly populated east. An electric
trolley line has been projected between Buff
falo and Rochester. The purpose OF estab-
fishing rates a little less than one-half
those charged by the steam roads having
been announced, the Central road meets
the situation by taking steps to increase
the service between the two points and
lowering Its rates. The Central IS wise,
says the Brooklyn Eagle, in thus so
promptly meeting a situation which threat
ems every railroad running In and out Of a
large city. The competing trolley lines are
projected to parallel most OF the subur-
ban lines Of steam railroads, and though
by communication tickets the steam rail-
roads are carrying passengers at the rate
OF 9 mills a mile, they are likely to meet
the competition Of even a lower rate.
Steam railroads, granting so low a COM
mutation rate, have looked to transients
at the full rate OF 2 or 8 cents a mile to
average up the receipts. Thus where the
suburban commuter pays 10 cents for his
trip to the city the transient has paid 80
cents. What makes the trolley competition
reared is the competition as to the tran
sients. Where a steam road charges so
cents for a single fare the trolley charges
10 cents and is in a position to sell trip
tickets for a much lower sum. Over in
New Jersey a trolley line now under con-
struction is pushing its way parallel to a
steam road which is, in a way, the pioneer
OF serious competition to those railroads
which empty into New York thousands and
tens OF thousands every morning. At pres
ent 1t is operating ten miles OF competing
road, but under such conditions that its
influence on the steam road It parallels
cannot be we'll judged. It Is promised by
the, trolley authorities that, before the snow
MES at least twenty miles will be in com
peting operation. The additional ten miles
Will tell the story. And by all trolley and
steam road authorities the result is being
anxiously awaited as indicative OF the place
competing trolleys will hold. One thing
may be safely predicted, and that is that
we are entering upon an era Of low subur-
ban rates.

Platform Easily Adopted.

The platform presented by the committee
was adopted with not half a dozen dissent
ing votes. II reads:
The republicans OF Massachusetts, and its
people, without distinction of party. have
paid their tribute OF honor and reverence
10 the great name and fame OF William
Mckinley. We lay cause for profound
gratitude that in the providence Of God
the burden he laid down is borne by a
worthy successor.
Theodore Roosevelt has addressed himself
TO the duties OF his high ONCE with wisdom
and courage He has had no secrets from
the American people. He has spoken to
them out OF the abundance OF a brave and
honest heart He has addressed himself
fearlessly &c the difficult problems which
have arisen since he succeeded to the presi-
dency and those which came down from
his predecessors. We approve what he has
done already and what he has declared that
he intends to do hereafter. Massachusetts,

BOSTON, Oct. 3.-An unexpected attempt
to amend the platform presented at the
republican state convention today caused
a sudden but very brief storm. The propo-
sition to amend was overwhelmingly voted
down. The ticket nominated was as fol-
lows: Governor. John l.. Bates, Boston;
lieutenant governor. George Curtis Guild,
jr., Boston; secretary of state, William M.
Olin, Boston,; treasurer and receiver gen.
eraL Edward S. Bradford, Springfield; At
torney general, Herbert Parker, Lancaster.
The'effort to change the resolution came as
a complete SURPRISE after Chairman George
Draper of the committee on resolutions had
read the platform and moved its adoption.
Elk Representative Frank M. Fits OF Som
erville moved an amendment to the plat
form in the form of a plank for reciprocity
with Canada and an immediate revision Of
the tariff, so as to include free coal, free
iron, free steel and free hides. Instantly
a wave Of excitement swept the floor Of the
convention. Isaac B. Allen wanted an
amendment protesting against the Ill treat
ment of colored voters in the south, but
this was lost sight of in the interest
aroused by the proposition Of Mr.. Fits.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, noting the
tangle, terminated the trouble by making
a spirited speech in favor OF the resolution
as recommended by the committee. The
amendment was overwhelmingly defeated.

IN THE FIELD OF ELECTRICITY
Phensmsnal Growth Of the Electrical In
dustry in the United States
STORY TOLD BY A CENSUS BULLETIN
Trolley Lines Digging Into the Local
Tramc OF Steam ROads-Facts
AbOut the Manufacture of
I-ncnndescent Lamps.

The census bulletin on the electrical in
dustry presents in compact form the story
Of the phenomenal growth Of that industry
in the United states during the census de-
cade. In twenty years the value OF the
product jumped from 81, 900, 900 to 500, 000.-
600. Just as the period between 1850 and
1860 was notable for the discovery Of the
telegraph. hat between 1860 and 1870 for
the beginning Of dynamo construction; that
between 1870 and 1880 for the application
Of the science to the stock ticker, burglar
alarm and other electrical conveniences;
that between 1880 and 1890 for the Develop
ment of telephony and electric lighting, the
period between 1890 and 1900 was marked
by the unprecedented adoption Of the cleo
trio motor for power transmission, fac
tories, etc, The report states that the
average annual expenditure on electricity
in the United States for each individual Of
a population not far from rs, 600, 900 was
81. OF this amount. about s1.25 per head
would represent the demand for electrical
apparatus and supplies; the income of the
electric traction companies would reach not
less than SO per head; while that from
electric lighting would reach about S1.50.
The returns available would also indicate
that not less than rs cents per head would
represent the expenditure on telephone
service and so cents per head the outlay for
kilograms, fire alarms and kindred work.
The development of the dynamo to sup
plant the primary battery was responsible
for the sensational advance in the value OF
the industry. OF the 500, O00, 900 annual
product Of the electrical manufacturing in
dustry at least as per cent would have been
unavailable tc the public in the days OF
the primary battery. In 1880 there were
but seventy-six establishments for the
manufacture of electrical apparatus and
supplies. while in the census year 1900, $50
were reported. The output OF these estab-
lishments in 1880 was valued at 81, 800, 900;
by 1890 it had jumped to 319. 900, 900, and in
1900 it reached the enormous figures of
SOL, 300, 900. The general figures do not re-
veal any tendency to excessive capitaliza-
ton. for the capital Of $50, 000, 900 10 ac-
lively employed in producing a yearly prod
uct greater than itself in the census period
by IS, 900, 900, , It should be remembered
that the figures here quoted do mot repre-
sent corporations In the fields of teleg-
raphy, telephony, electric railways, cleo
trio lighting, ETC., in which the apparatus
produced is put into operation, but merely
the output Of the establishments devoted
to the manufacturing of electrical appara-
tus and supplies.
