author in American politics would rather have

CHEAP ELECTRIC POWER

In a talk about the growing use of electric
power from Niagara in Buffalo writer for
The Electrical World and Engineer incident.
ally refers to the limited extent to which steam
power has yet been displaced. A dealer in coal
told him that sales were not appreciably af-
fected by competition. 1t appears that the
quantity of transmitted water power consumed
in Buffalo last year was equivalcn: to only 4
per cent of the bituminous coal marketed there
However, if the fuel burned for heating and
cooking were ignored the ratio would be much
more favorable. ii is only in the generation of
power that Niagara completes with the mines
Moreover, the consumption of electricity from
the falls has in the past been checked by sew
eral temporary influences, one of which is the
restricted supply and the small capacity of
the transformers at the Buffalo end of the trans
mission line. Within the last year there has
been n great increase in the output of electricity
at Niagara. 1t is believed that the demand will
develop at q corresponding rate
Apart from the street railway and lighting
companies in Buffalo, three groups Of custom
ers are being served. One. numbering thirty
six includes manufacturers who formerly used
steam but deliberately abandoned their old
power plants in order TO secure the advantages
of electricity. second class includes thirteen
companies or firms which were organized to
start entirely enterprises Finally there
other places to Buffalo in order TO improve the
opportunity which was offered to them there
Altogether. they now use upward of $4,000
horsepower annually; and what is the most
significant fact of all is that none of them have
gone back again to steam.
Economy is the chief though not the sole
consideration in preferrinS electricity TO steam
power. The charge for current is II combina-

have dwelt incessantiy. One of the foremost
arguments in favor of Independent self-govern-
ment for Ireland has been that thus that coun-
try would be enabled to enact its own fiscal laws
and would no longer be bound fast to the Eng
Iish system, and there has been no secret made
of the intention Of Irish statesmen TO adopt
protective system the moment they had legis-
lature Of their own.
Whether this consideration will incline the
Irish to support Mr.. Chamberlain, and whether
the East End of London will respond to his ap-
peal as largely as will some agricultural con-
stituencies, remain to be seen. What is at pres
ent obvious is that Mr.. Chamberlain Is making
an earnest and vigorous appeal to eli parts and
classes of the United Kingdom such as he said
at the outset he intended to make. Not many
years ago the mere suggestion of a protectionist
propaganda in England would have been re-
garded with derision. That such propaganda
should have been seriously begun by one of the
foremost English statesmen of the day and
should have made so great progress are facts
that indicate a marked change in British
thought upon this subject Tariff reform has
become not an academic abstraction, but a vital
issue, and there can be no doubt that as Mr.
Chamberlain says. 1t will remain vital issue
at least until the British electorate has had
an opportunity of passing decisive judgment

SAFETY ON STEAHBOATS.

Secretary Metcalfs detet animation to allow
the steamboat men to look over the new rules
proposed by the Board of Supervising Inspec-
tcrs before giving his approval to the code
evinces judicial spirit. Perhaps such course
is only right. Still, from a popular point of
view, it seems improbable that the latest re-
Quirements will be unduly severe. So many
shortcomings were discovered last summer in
the equipment and management of other ex-
cursion boats than the General Slocum and the
Grand Republic that there is room for extensive
reform. Improvement will not come without
compulsion, and the public will rejoice to see
the government deal sterny with offenders
If the existing statutes would permit such
step, it might prove wise to make the licenses
given to the owners of steamboats, revocab BILE
on short notice when gross violation Of the
regulations has been detected. Whether or not
fresh inspection and another license should
be granted upon application therefor should
depend upon the grossness of the first offence,
but the sense Of responsibility would be won
derfully qnickened if the officers and proprie-
tors Of steamboats, realized that their business
could be suddenly and peIemptOry stopped.
DR.. Darlington has been warmly appauded for
proceeding in a similar fashion with a local
company that sold poisoned milk Customs Off
Gals are permitted to contscate merchandise
which is Illegally imported. If equally sum-
mary measures could be adopted with trans
portaton companies which show wilful disre-
gard of the law. the effect would be wholesome
in the extreme.
AS the new rules receive the formal
sanction Of the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, 1t is to be hoped that they will receive
the widest publicity. The sooner the steamboat
men become acquainted with them the better
The larger the opportunity given for conform
ity with the latest standards of the government,
the less occasion there will be for mercy when
negligence is discovered.
