SPEED WITH ELECTRICITY.

The hundred mile an hour electrical
train has long been predicted, but its
coming does not depend at the present
time upon any engineering considera-
ton. 1t does depend upon commercial
daring, involving the construction of
line long enough to bring out the
full advantage of high speed. A line
between Jersey City and Philadelphia
for instance, would be far too short
to justify its existence as high speed
road. Extended TO Washington or
Chicago it would revolutionize travel.
Such line must logically be between
large centers distant enough to make
saving of time an object. \
The results so far obtained indicate
that such work will be done by poly
phase motors, which may force their
way into the larger urban work, but
give small promise for tramways
proper. The whole course of growth
in electric traction has been TYPICAL
of organized growth generally a
steady process of evolution with con-
current differentiation, guided, as
usual, by natural selection and the
survival of the fittest Electrical Re-
veiw.

enues of intelligence, truth had been
so crushed to earth that only spe-
cial commission. could raise her pros
trate form, set her broken bones, dress
her wounds, restore her powers of
speech and suffer her to proclaim to
all the world the things Sin her

1t may be of interest to know, in
this connection, that the Senate com
mittee on the Philippines consists of
thirteen members Senator Lodge
the rampageous old Massachusetts, Sen
ator's colleagues it's chairman, and
Senators Allison, Hale, Proctor, Bev-
eridge, Culberson are among its
members. Senator Hoar's resolution
for the creation of special committee
of investigation to discover the truth
about affairs in the Philippines was
thus movement to impeach both the
President and the men in the Senate
most noted for virtue and wisdom.
Respecting this last exhibition of Sen
ator Hoar's mania the New York Sun
with it's usual incisiveness says:
! There is no need now of a Senator
/ ial special investigation of conditions
in the Philippines, either by special
| committee as Mr.. Hoar first proposed,
or by the regular committee on
the Philippines. The investigation
of conditions in those islands by
military and civilian officres of the
United States government is going on
all the time and the administration,
through the war department, is deal
ing patiently and efficiently with these
conditions as they arise. The facts
are at the service of Congress at al
times, as they may be called for anC
even Mr.. Hoar did not venture to al
lege the existence of any scandal, any
sinister concealment of truth, or any
lack of honest purpose on the part o.
the Executive, requiring the interpo
sitiOn of Congress.
Stripped of the euphemisms ant
paraphrases with which polite states
manship has invested it, Senator
Hoar's request is simply that his Re
publican associates shall join will
him in manufacturing campaign ma
terial for an assault upon fixed Re
publican policy, the retention of tn,
Philippines as an American possession
Discovering that he had rendered
himself unusually ridiculous and oh
noxious, with the courage of convic
ton the Senator has often exhibited
he backed down and withdrew hi
resolution. He is not of the stuff o
which martyrs are made.

ONE UNCERTAINTY REMOVED.

At least one element of uncertainty
was eliminated from the canvass for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor of Vermont by The Messenger S
publication yesterday of the letter
from vice president Charles M. Hays
to DR.. w. Seward Webb saying that
the Central Vermont railway mango
ment will maintain a neutrality
throughout the contest and that posi-
tive instructions to that effect have
been given to all officials interested.
This information is all the more i'm
portant because of the fact that the
friends of Gen. John G.. Mccullough
have persistently claimed that the in
fluence of the Central Vermont road
would be exerted in his behalf and
have reckoned upon it as one of the
most powerful of their active ele-
ments st. Adams Messenger

SHOULD BE VICE ADMIRAL.

Tie Waterman and Journal has re-
fer ed to the ardent and wide-s spread
recognititn by the press and people OF
this nation, during the months of the
recent past, of the supreme import
ance of Captain Clark services to his
country in the war with Spain and his
high character as man and naval
officer. Much less frequently than
the editor has desired he has publish
ed the evidence of the unique standing
the commander Of the Oregon in the
late war has attained in the opinions
and affections of the people through
out the length and breadth of the
land and the fervor of the demands,
not unmiXed with wrath, that the gov
eminent promptly atone for past neg
lect to promote this officer to the high
rank that shall be the just measure
of his deserts. In this connection we
cannot forbear to publish the follow
mig just and highly appreciative trib-
ute of the Minneapolis Tribune to this
officer, concluding with the suggestion
that "there is still time for Congress
to send him to the coronation as vice
admiral"
One of the appointments of civil
and military representatives of the
United States at the coronation of
King Edward will give universal sat
isfaction. Captain Clark is the one
popular hero of the war with Spain
whose glory has never been dimmed
and for whom popular feeling has
never cooled or diminished. He has
been as modest in triumph as he was
brave and prudent i'll danger. He has
been as eager to keep out of the con-
troyersy as he was eager to get into
battle. He has been as careful of the
reputation of his brother officers in
peace as he was careful of the lives
of his men and careless of his own in
war. He has sought no advancement
himself and has stood in the way of
no others. He did far greater work
in the Spanish war than any other,
but the two fleet commanders, and
never has complained of lack of rec
ignition. He was not only daring,
prudent, skillful, untiring, cautious
i'll peril, bold in action and master
of his profession i'll every emergency
but he has been, in war and peace, in
battle and council, i'll private life and
public conduct. an officer and gentle
man in the highest sense of the regu-
lations. If it is desirable that the
United States should be represented
on this historic occasion by the best
type of American citizen and soldier,
the choice of Clark is ideal. This is
small reward for his services, and can
not add to his glory, but it may serve
to recall to the minds of his contry-
men the high deserving of a man in
capable of advertising his own merit.
There is still time for Congress to
send him to the coronation as vice-ad-
miral The United States should not
be represented there by mere captain
even by the greatest of its naval
captains.

HOAR AROUSED.

This was the scare headline in a re-
cent issue of newspaper published
of course, in the State of Massachu-
sets. Being interpreted it signifies
that the senior Bay State Senator was
again on the rampage and, as usual on
such occasions, making himself ridicu-
lous.
The cause of this particular rousement
of this highly emotional-not to say
observation-disclosures, was the con-
dition of affairs in the Philippines, or
a condition his frenzy on that subject
is ever conjuring up. Things were
so very bad in the archipelago, the
government officials there, civil and
military, were so much at variance and
their reports to the general govern
ment so untrustworthy and that gov
eminent so irrevocably engaged in
the unholy Office of crushing out re-
public, the first great republic ever es-
tablished in the eastern hemisphere, ;"
and, to cap the whole, the Senate
Philippine committee was constituted
of Ephraims so joined to the govern
ment's idols that they would not tell
the truth, or seek to discover the
truth, as to the awful crimes the gov
eminent of the United States, in the
name of liberty, was committing, or
suffering to be committed, in this far
eastern possession, along all these av-

Among the many reasons why the
Constitution desires the annexation of

would of course fill our markets with
cheap goods to compete with better
paid American labor. Such condi-
ton would undoubtedly help Can
adian immigration, of which there
has been practically none for half a
century 1t is better for the United
States to attract this immigration to
her own states and territories, where
despite the fact that we have sixteen
times as many people as Canada on
smaller area, there is yet room, with
only small fraction of our magnif-
cent resources developed.
Small pox is said to be raging in
London, but it is easy to overestimate
the seriousness of the situation. Not
long ago it was raging" likewise
in New York and cable despatch
might have been sent to England de-
failing with entire accuracy the facts
of the case and the conveying a most
alarming impression. The truth is
! that i'll city as large as New YORK
or London, few hundred patients,
while naturally causing apprehension
need mot brighten away intending
visitors Our methods of fighting the
disease are now so greatly improved
that either city should be able with
out excessive difficulty, to take charge
of larger number of cases than there
are at present in London. Perhaps,
as the London cable suggests, matters
may be much worse by the time King
Edward is crowned, but the authori-
ties are alert, and as they will of
course make every effort to keep the
malady within bounds the chances are
all in favor of their measurable sue
cess.
