MOTOR DRIVING ADVANTAGES

One advantage that often comes
from the use of the electric motor for
machine driving is the comparative
ease with which it may be ascertain
ed whether particular piece of ma
chinGry thus driven lis operating at
it's highest efficiency This can be
done by comparing the power COM
sumed by the motor in driving it with
the power used I'm driving another
similar machine. For example it has
more than once been found that GER
tain printing presses of a given make
have been consuming from one to two
horsepower more than another SINH
lar press. notwithstanding that the
makers pronounced their apparatus
in perfect running order, and In con-
sequence placed the cause Of the dis
crepancy on the electric motor. A
brake test of the motors or an ex-
change of motors quickly showed the
fallacy of this contention. and an
easing up of the bearings of the press
in different places has usually sufficed
to get rid of this waste of power.
Increase Of output of machinery
driven by electric motors is, however,
after all, the great ,desideratum which
is achieved, and FAIRS outweighs in
Importance the several other advan-
tages incidental to electric driving
the saving of head room, for example,
the absence of long lines of shafting,
and the avoidance of power wastes.
Indeed, the value of the power, wheth-
er furnished by shafting or by the
electric motor, as compared with the
Importance of increased product, is
nearly negligible Casters Maya

Up Hartford way the newspapers are
happiest when they are trying to head
off the Hon George Il. Lilley's congress
siona1 boom. Thus far they have
trained along behind and haven't even
got a look into Lilley's band wagon.
The Times evidently thinks it has over
hauled the leaders on the Lilley turn
out, now, for last night it flung into
the arena the battle Scared and time
honored gentleman from New London
and New York, the Hon Thomas Wal

surely when Waller has to be. brought

HOW THE SULTAN LOOKS

Ray sannard Baker in an article on
the sultan In the Outlook, thus de-
scribes a glimpse he lately had Of the
sultan in Constantinople:
I stood on the palace terrace rising
above the little roadway down which
on Friday the sultan ventures forth
to say his prayers. I saw the extra
ordinary precautions taken to protect
him--the gathering of all his five
thousand troops, the stoppage OF traf-
| fic by wallis of armed men III every
roadway f--ss.ding up to the palace, then
the surrounding of the few hundred
yards of roadway which the sultan
must traverse from his palace gate to
his mosque by rows of soldiers knee
deep. It was strange, gorgeous in
congruous spectacle.
Preceded by his women In closed
carria ges, several Of his sons. and
of the army marching on foot, came
the sultan himself. He was driven
slowly in an open carriage, facing for
ward, with his minister OF war sit
ting opposite. And this is Abdul
HamidII, the absolute ruler of $4,000
600 people, the defender of the faith,
monarch OF the Hukymeti-senize,
the glorious government, variously
known elsewhere as the Sick Man Of
Europe and the Great Assassin. Every
splendor of general and trooper is
forgotten; every eye is fixed on the
little, round-shouldered man in the
carriage. A shout--a well-trained and
evidently long-practiced shout Curl
ously. lacking in fire or spOntaneity--
goes up from the troops. The old man
raises his hand in salute. He wears
a red fez; his face is sick1y white, like
parchment; the nose is that of an old
eagle, long, hooked, high-bridged--th
Armenian nose his subjects will whis-
per in contempt. His eyes, what one
sees of them, for he turns his head
neither to the right nor left, are deep
set and black. Those who know him
best say that he has a peculiar way
Of moving his head, as If he We're al
ways seeking to look behind him, to
pry out secrets, to surprise hidden mo-
tives. His beard is deep blue-black, as
are his eyebrows: naturally they
would be gray, but he dyes them, for
the sultan must never look old. To
his generals he leaves all the pomp and
display of gold lace and tinse1; for
himself he is clad wholly in black,
like eunich, without ornamentation
of any kind. 1.-THE Raven he has
been called, and the raven he looks.
The sultan is not really very old
man--only sixty years old--and yet If
there is one impression above another
that he gives, it is that of age and
great Weariness. Poor old sultan"

snstitution Formed to Do Business
I'm Latin American Countries.
NEW YORK, Sept 5.-Plans have
been made at meeting Of the direct
prs of the Mexican Trust Company
bank for the formation of an interna-
tional banking institution capitalized
at $1O,000,O00 and designed especially
to operate in Latin American coun-
tries. The scheme involves the eonsoi-
ldation of the Mexican Trust Company
bank and the Corporation Trust conn
pany. The combination is to be known
as the international Bank and Trust
Company of America.
The directors of both the merging
corporations have signed the consoles
ton agreement. A majority of
stockholders Of both concerns alres
have signified their approval of Il
plan informally. and a meeting OF
stockholders to give formal approval
of the merger will be held within the
next three weeks. 1T is expected tina
the combination viii become effective
about Oct 1.
Both the Mexican Trust Company
bank and the Corporation Trust COM

1t is said that the coal strike has

Meanwhile, the coal-mining compa-
MES are giving the people more and
more reason to feel that the time is
come when corporations must be
taught that property has duties as
well as rights, thus writes staff corr
respondent of New York paper.
Thus far we have nothing from them
but the assertion of their rights, to
the loss and Inconvenience of the pub
lie in all directions. Yet there is not
one of them which is not eyading, If
not violating, the law which estab-
fishes and defends those rights, by en-
gaging in other activities and respon-
sibilities than those for which they
were chartered. 1t is well known that
the Reading and other railroads hold
charters for transportation only, yet
mines and do other things not contem-
plated in their charters. In form this
is achieved by organizing secondary
corporations, but that this is only an
evasion is shown by the fact that
these are under exactly the same con-
troll, and that the heads Of the rail-
road companies as such openly speak
of their relations to the strike now in
progress. If the state government Of
Pennsylvania were to take these COM
panies into court, there might be found
good reasons for forfeiture Of char
ter, which would put an end to the
present ENHANCEMENT, to the satisfac-
ton of everybody except the dispos-
sessed managers. Abram Hewitt, who
has the gift of always saying the
wrong thing at the right time, thinks
the companies and not the strikers are
entitled to public sympathy, because
the strikers are keeping other workmen
from carrying on the mines. IN one
or two localities there has been fric-
ton which makes it impossible for
workmen not In the Miners union to
carry on mining. But in the majori-
ty of places this is not true. Mining

Destructive Japanese Floods.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept 5.--Latest
advices from Yokohama say Nthat
heavy rains followed by floods have
caused great loss of life and much
damage to property in some of the dis

nine persons lost their lives, and TWEEN
ty-nine were injured, while many
houses were washed away and vessels
wrecked. In Yamagushi seventy-six
were drowned, thirteen crushed to
death, eleven washed away with their

The Chicago Inter Ocean, a republi
can newspaper, a day after it's editor
was in conference with President
Roosevelt, printed the following edi-
torial, which proves conc1usiye1y that
there viii be no tariff revision, as that
editorial may be taken as a reflection
of the presidents views: The present
tariff law stands on sure foundations
and approved principles. It Is, like q
house with d few faulty stones in the
walls. but solid on its foundation and
strong as ever for all the purposes for srl
which it was constructed. No states
man, looking at the experiences of the
last five years, no business man, no
manufacturer, no man engaged IN IN
dustrial employment or enterprise
with knowledge of what the Dingley
law did for the country and is doing
to-day, is honestly in favor of disturb
ing our splendid Industrial fabric mere
ly to rectify a few crooked lines. 1t is
a maxim in business as well as in
statecraft to- let well enough alone.
Judged by results, the Dingley act is
the best tariff law ever enacted. It
wears well. II is doing for the country
in 1902 as much as it did in 1897. It
is not perfect, but under it the country
has been and is enormously prosperous
Leave it alone" The consequence is
that these who are opposed to the con-
tinued holding up of the American peo-
pie by the tariff sheltered trusts, and
to the selling of our goods abroad at
lower prices than here at home, must
vote for the party that stands commit.
ted to tariff revision, and that party is
the democratic party.
