To Compete With Electric Lines.

1t is announced that the Wabash
railway will equip passenger coaches
with the Edison storage battery and
use motor cars to compete with the
Fort Wayne & Southwestern Trac
ton company, which parallels its
tracks. 1t is said to be the inten-
ton of the company to run the cars
every hour from Wabash to Fort
WAYNE, and thus give the same SER
vice as the traction company. a
plant will be put in either at Fort
Wayne or Wabash, so that the cars
may be charged at the end OF each
trip. The installation may be made
before the close Of the summer.
The Big Four has also decided to
adopt the new battery for the same
purpose.

ministration to make political cap
ital out OF the army. | refer to the
general order issued by direction OF
the President and signed by Secre-
tary Root, in which he INDUCES IN
the most fulsome praise Of the army.
While there il no sentiment among
the democrats which would deprive
the army Of any Of the high praise
which IT deserves, this production
of the Secretary Of War and OF the
President is so entirely without pre-
cedent, and so emphatically "for
political purposes only" that It Is
regarded as In the utmost bad taste.
| In this connection, it is worthy Of
note that Mr.. Root has again taken
occasion to humilitate General Miles
by refusing to honor his recommen'
dation that Capt. Robert G. Van
vliet be appointed on the Generals
staff as inspector OF small arms
practice. In refusing to sanction
1.-The recommendation, Secretory Root
refers to article 214 Of the army reg
ulations, but, as the friends OF Cen
Ieral Miles point out, that regulation
refers to department command
ers' and has no application to 1.-THE
general commanding the army
Therefore the action OF the Secre-
tary is tantamount to an attempt to
place General Miles on the same
footing as a department command
er. and is entirely without the pro-
vince OF the Secretary OF War.

Plugging" Cattle.

The Vermont cattle commission y
up against hard problem. Il seems
that the tuberculin test will not work
twice In succession on the same AMI
NAL. Thus a cattle-owner whose herd
is TO be tested can administer the test
himself privately, and when the COM
missioners come and apply the test
even the most diseased cattle will not
respond. This fact accounts for the
story of the diseased COW which was
tested by the commission after having
been tested by local veterinary, and
was declared all right. The local vet
Urinary insisted that the animal be
killed, and it was found to be badly
diseased. The question now arises
whether the work Of the commission
will amount to anything in the future.
It certainly will not unless cattle
owners can be prevented from testing
their own cattle on the quiet, when
they find the commissioners are com
ing. Unfortunately all cattle-owners
are not honest men. The commission
must have legal power to protect itself
against fraud Ludlow Tribune.

How the Agency Operates.

The sales of liquor at the Rutland
city liquor agency for 1901 were
S20.64S.22 as against S12.127.7O for
1900, an increase of Ss520.52. This
immense increase in one year seriously
raises the question as 10 how much the
actual consumption OF liquor has been
curtailed in this city, if any, since the
active efforts to wipe out illegal liquor
selling places were inaugurated
Never before has the prohibitory law
been so effectively enforced in this
city as during the past year-and the
liquor agency sales have jumped up
$500. This is a coincidence such as
to give thoughtful people much to oc-
cupy their attentiOn.-TRutlan News

RIGHT along with his work, without
hedging or attempting to shift respon-

that Mr.. Morrow has made some mis-
takes and that his judgment has not

of action, and we ought to have the
grace to overlook small errors IN a
man VINO accomplishes things. Those
people who are sitting on the fence
croaking at Morrow's sensational
methods" OF enforcing the prohlDltory
law are making themselves ridiculous:
Get down of the fence, brethren, ana
prove your affection for temperance
and sobriety by your active work and
influence Instead OF wasting your
breath criticising one who has done
more toward the enforcement OF the

The Rutland Herald has it all
figured out. The city liquor agency
sold so many gallons of liquor last
year there are so many drinks to the
gallon; ergo, Rutland took 1sl drinks
per hour last year. There may be
flaws in this calculation. The Rut-
land drink, regulation size, is said to
be considerably in excess of the nor
NAL. It wouldn't be surprising if the
thing figured down to l75 or possibly
l67 drinks per hour Anyhow, the
Herald admits that the health of the
city was kept excellent, so that the
main point is established. The agency
served its legal purpose.

rial nomination are directors of the

ager Hays lost a golden opportunity,
however, to say what Vermonters gen

its hand to help or injure any candidate,

work. 1t has done something, but at
present is unable TO proceed and wants
to sell the canal and concessions ana
property to the United States.
Little better success has attended
the companies that have tried to build
Nicaraeuan canal. The plan here
has been to pass up the San Juan
river. using its channel a portion Of
the distance, and eXcayating aportlon'
as far as Lake Nicaragua, a large BODY
of water that supplies the source of the
San Juan; then dig through the few
miles separating the lake from the
Pacific, the ridge here being much
lower than at Panama. The whole
inland distance here is lS1 miles,
while at Panama it is 46 miles. An
advantage of Nicaragua Is that II Is
nearer to us and therefore yields a
quicker passage between northern
ports. For a like reason, Panama
would be better for southern ports.
Both canals would have to be provided
with locks, to overcome the grade.
The harbors for Nicaragua would both
have to be built. At Panama they
would only need improvement.
A body of engineers, working under
what is known as the Walker commits
sion, authorized by Congress, has re-
Gently made a careful survey of all the
isthmus routes, and plans for a canal
at both Panama and Nicaragua have
been submitted. Both routes are pro-
nounced feasible, and all others sug-
pested unfeasible. At Panama, the
commission finds that a certain amount
of the French work and equipment
could be utilized, and estimates tito be
worth perhaps Slo,O00,O0Q to this coun-
Itry. The commission believes that the
difficulties that the French encountered
are now understood and can be sur
mounted. If the French would sell for
| 100000, 600, the whole canal could be
built for $4,000 900. The estimate
1 for the Nicaragua canali is 5000, 600, 900.
Either would require ten years to COM
plete. Inasmuch as the French were
holding out for about 800, 0OO,0 600 when
the commission made its report, it adj
vised that the Nicaragua route be
adopted. Since then, the Panama COM
pany has offered to sell for $40, 000, 900,
which presents very different propo-
sition, and the commission has within
a few days made a supplemental re-
port, advising the acceptance of the Of
fer and the construction of the Panama
canal A bill authorizing the Nicaragua
canal has passed the House, but it is
likely that the Senate will substitute
the Panama canal and that the House
will accede. This will not happen un-
til bitter fight has taken place, for
both routes have strong friends-some
of whom seem to prefer that no canal
should be built than that their fayorite
should be turned down. An important
point in connection with the Panama
offer is the ability of the company to
transfer its title and concessions, and a
new treaty with Colombia would have
to be negotiated before this country
would be warranted in putting millions
into it. While canal is surely coming,
it will be only the younger heads that
will witness its completion.
