The Failure of the Aerodrone.

1t Is evident. as result of yesterdays $
failure at Whitewater of the Langley aero
drotne to maintain itself in the ar. that
Prof Langley has not yet found a way to
utilize TIE Notation principle in securing
human flight His machine showed no ca
pacity for sustaining itself, and the pro-
pellers apparently were of no value in Civ
ing 1t forward motion. Thus in both di-
rectious his apparatus fell short of ex-
pectations. Mr. Manley. who courageously
offered himself the first passenger on
the hazardous trip, explains that the an
paratus not properly balanced This
explanation. however. does not entirely sat

of yesterdays test. which indicate that the

independent energy
1t is to be assumed that this failure does
not end all efforts to perfect the aeropane,
whether they are ma intained by Prof.
Langley or by some other experimenter. A
doubt has arisen in the lay mind. since de-
tailed descriptions and photographs of the
aerodrome at Whitewater have been re-
ceved during the testing period. lest the
whole affair has grown too complex under
the process of development. The contriv-
ance seemed to be running to infinite de
tail, whereas it would seem to be a prime
requisite that the aeroplane. by whatever
name called and by whom devised sha
be severely simple. Lilienthal. the Euro

the course of his experiments, had achieve 1
remarkable success in soaring with fabric

Two Political Traditions.

The Philadelphia Record in the following
paraeraph. shows a strong leaning toward
Mr. Cleveland for another term as Pres1-
dent:
.Ex-Congressman jefferson NJ. Levy Of
New York has returned from southern
trip with the information that the tlde In
| the states he visited is setting strongly To-
ward Mr.. Cleveland as the next democratic
candidate for the presidency. He mentions
| prominent men in Georgia who advocate
| the ex-Presidents denomination and pre-
diet his election. MIR. Levy adds that ram
many Hall prefers Mr.. Cleveland. The old
| line democrats and gold standard democrats
| would be glad to see Mr.. Cleveland in the
| White House. but not all of them are pre-
pared to nominate him. If he could COM
mand the support of Tammany. of the
democratic reformers and of the solid south
he would be formidable candidate. There
is the third term tradition dead against
him. but Mr.. Roosevelt has against him the
tradition that no man who has succeeded to
the presidency by death has won presi
Dental election. That Is just as good an
'unwritten law as the other
But Mr. Roosevelt will break the tradi
ton in his case by securing a nomination.
He will be his party's candidate next year
by accamation. mo man who has sue
ceeded to the presidency by a death has
won a presidential election because no
such man has ever been nominated for the
always arisen to defeat the aspirations of
such men. With his party behind him. and
his promises to carry his predecessors poll
cies forward all fulfilled. what bearing will
the tradition mentioned by the Record have
on Mr.. Roosevelt's case? If he breaks it in
the nominating convention why should he
not be able to break it at the polls?
The case of General Arthur is always dis
cussed when this subject is mentioned. He
made a capital executive, and carried out
the promises upon which General Garfield
and himself had been elected as closely as
possible. He resisted all efforts to renew
the factional fighting which had been
bitter for weeks prior to the wounding of
General Garfield. and in doing so parted
with the friendship of both MIR. Conkling
and Mr.. Platt. Politicians Of great sagac-
ity have always insisted that had he been
nominated in 1884 instead Of Mr.. Blaine the
republicans would have won.
1t may be asked If Mr.. Cleveland breaks
the tradition in his case in the nominating
convention why should he not be able to
break 1T at the polls? The answer is
that the two traditions are very differ
ent. There is no warning by any statesman
against electing to the Office of President a
man who has succeeded to it by a death.
The argument Is In favor Of such thing
where the man has acquitted himself we'll
OF his duties. But there are many warn
ings from the highest sources against elect
Ing a man three times to the presidency,
and those warnings would confront Mr.
Cleveland from the moment of his nominal
ton. And the prospect would be of their
efficacy with the people,

The Vacant Judgeship.

The desire of the members of the local
bar that the vacancy on the District su-
preme bench be filled as speedily as pos
sible is entitled to considerat ton by the
President, in whose hands the matter now
rests. The calendars of the court are long
and overcrowded. For months this bench
has been kept in a state of partial disor-
ganization owing to the retirements, deaths
and designations which have occurred, and
during the various periods of vacancy there
have been STEADY accumulations of bust-
ness. Furthermore, the recent work of the
grand jury In returning indictments against
accused postal officials and others connect
ed with them mas materially added to the
work cut out for the court. These cases, 1t
Is plain. will consume great deal OF time.

veloped and elaborated and had then
brought his apparatus back to almost its
initial simplicity when he scored his long
est flights. His death was eccasioned by the
breaking Of part while he was at somc
distance from the ground.
Iilienthal gave himself a considerable
impetus by running along the ground to the
edge of a declivity and then springing into
the air. He made no effort to flap the sus-
tanning wings, but merely scared across a
space and then gently sank to the earth
breaking his fall by short run. The
Langley device was planned to initiate the
initial run of I4ilienthal by means of an
impulse given by springs and short slide
over ways before launching into the air. 1t
would seem that yesterdays disastrous
flight was merely the measure of this first
impulse. without the soaring achieved in
Lilienthal's case by means of the sustain
ing wings. Some years ago Maxim planned
an aeroplane which should secure its i'm
pulse by mechanical power. and rise grad
uaily from a track considerably longer than
that used in the Langley experiments. But
his attention was diverted from the matter
before he had actually constructed and
tested the machine.
If human flight is ever to be achieved,
apart from the employment oi odilooh
car. it will doubtless be by some perfection
of the aeroplane principle 1t cannot be
now conceived that the balloon will ever
be sufficiently developed to warrant its en-
ployment as other than toy. The ideal
flying machine must be capable of mo-
ton in any direction, whatever the course
or rate of the wind. of speed sufficient to
enable it to compete with the surface agen-
cies of transportation of resisting all dan
gers and of alighting safely and accurately
at the end of journey. Thus far Prof.
Langley's tests have not show that his
aerodrome is capable of any Of these ac-
complishments.

Stamping Out Yellow Fever.
From the New York Tribune.

TOM tnt NeW
American methods were so effective in
stamping out yellow fever in Cuba after
the Spaniards were driven away that it Is
surprising this horrible disease should have
obtained a foothold In Texas having spread
over the Mexican border. Why could not
the authorities in Mexico have done as
good work as was done by the Yankees In
Cuba? There was the lesson; there was the
example to follow.
Why could not also the Texans succeed
as well in fighting yellow Jack In their own
state as their fellow cOuntrymen did in the
magnificent island of the Spanish Main ?
No shotgun quIantine was needed in any
part Of Cuba after truly American methods
of extirpating pestilence were in full swing
Why Is 1t that Mexico and Texas have not
profited by the success of the campaigns
against the formidable plague of yellow
fever in the West Indies?
