TIE LAST oRANoE-REGTSTERI

The time has come for final reminder that
nobody can vote, though otherwise qualined' uIl-
less he has registered. The annual appeals ana
admonitions Of the newspapers on the subject
of registration, though sometimes provocative
Of tests which those who make them presum-
ably consider funny, are appropriate and use
fuI-indeed. indispensable. 1t may seem to most
persons impossible that any citizen should for
get to secure the privilege Of voting. but we
have no doubt that, as a matter of fact, many
do forget every year and that their number
would be greatly increased except for the faith
ful prodding Of the papers. Indifference Is
worse than mere forgetfulness, and worst OF
all is the resolution TO take 10 part In the gov
ernment Of a free country. Possibly IT is fool
ish to hope in the closing weeks of national
campaign that such citizens can be aroused even
by a fusillade Of newspaper articles to sense
Of their duty. but it would be a sin not to make
the effort.
The first three days Of registration have hap
PLY justified the belief that there are going to
be comparatively few stay-at-homes this year
in the city of New-York. II some Of the cam
paign speakers have had smaller audiences than
usual they are not warranted in accusing the
public OF apathy There was no apathy visible
in Vermont and Maine few weeks ago when
the polls opened for the State elections. and
nothing of the sort has been indicated here
mus al ln0 FSSlSLEduOA DOOLus- moreover,
all the signs point TO such a condition Of the
public mind prevailed four years ago at this
stage in the campaign. The people had decided
on their course Of action; they knew what they
were going TO do. and when the time came they
did it cheerfully and effectually.
So, we are confident 1t will be this year. But
we want to have the discredited minority Of alb
stainers as small as possible, and so far as our
influence may extend it will be exercised with
out the slightest let-up to the end. Register!
That is tO-day's injunction. 1t is a very short
and simple process. Near 10 every residence
is the appointed place Of registration for its oc-
cnpants. If you leave home ten minutes earlier
than usual, YOU can have your name put on the
voting list and get to business at the regular
hour. If you are planning a day in the coun-
try. the same small allowance Of time WIFI make
you sure of catching your train. Every man
who negiects or refuses to vote commits moral
fault and ought to suffer social retribution. The
booths will be open from a. IN. TO 10 p. m. To
be early is TO be safe.

oBSTRUCTIoNs 1N THE A1R.

current item Of news serves as theme for
jocular chatting, but should call attention to
serious evil of our highways. 1t is to the ef
feet that man bought a small frame house
for triling sum. thinking he had made good
bargain; but when he started TO move it to
his own land he found his way blocked by
overhead trolley wires, with the result that he
had TO abandon his house and lose all he had
paid for it.
His predicament may provoke a smile. It
suggests to thoughtful minds the fact that free
dom Of traffic is really much interfered with
by overhead wires. The oldtlme telegraph
wires disfgured but did not obstruct, the
streets, because they were high above reach.
But the trolley wires are necessarily placed
low. so low as to interfere with the passage
Of any vehicle or other object Of considerable
height In our city streets military and other
parades with banners often have trouble in
going along or crossing streets equipped with
trolley wires, and run no little risk of injury
through inadvertently touching live wire with
a banner staff. Trucks carrying pieces Of mer-
chandise Of unusual height meet with the same
trouble. In suburban and rural districts farm
ers often find II difficult to drive a load Of hay
with safety under a trolley wire. For the
one case Of a house mover thus blocked there
are many cases of other traffic similarly OBJ
structed.
This is a real evil and one that should be
abated. At any rate, it should not be permit
ted to extend and increase. 1t has not been
good thing TO let the overhead trolley systems
invade Manhattan Island, particularly in the
very places where they form the most offensive
and dangerous obstruction to traffic. The rule
should be TO compel a steady diminution OF
the overhead wire system until at last we shall
be rid Of it altogether. 1t is bad enough to
have the roadways of streets cut up with car
tracks. 1t is abominable to have the air just
overhead filled with a network Of death dealing
wires. so that all vehicles must conform TO
certain limit Of height and so that a driver who
carelessly raises his whip too high may find
himself stricken by a deadly current. Let us
at least have the air free from distractions.

AUXILIARY RAILW4Y SERVICE.

In a recent issue Engineering News summa-
rized a report presented to the International
Tramways and Light Railways Union at the
meeting Of the latter in Vienna last month. The
document relates TO the practice of running sim
gle, self-propelled cars on roads where once
the steam locomotive was employed. On GER
tain sections of q system and during certain
hours the passenger traffic is so light that it
does not Fay to provide trains. Hence. in the
interests of economy, comparatively new ex-
pertinent is being made. The service here men
toned, however, is merely supplementary to
that of the main line, which is still conducted
by old fashioned means. In nearly every Euro
pean country at least three or four railroad
companies are trying the plan. some Of them
having adopted 1t Professionally on several d.
visions. In the United States the idea has not
received much attention, but more than one
American corporation is having a few cars
constructed with view to giving it a trial
On the other side OF the Atlantic at least
five different methods Of moving such cars are
used. The newest. originating with the North
eastern company in England, was described by
The Tribune a month or two ago. 1t involves
q combination Of gasolene engine. dynamo
and electric motor. Gasolene alone and steam
alone are in service elsewhere, steam appar-
entity enjoying the greater popularity. Electric
storage batteries and the overhead trolley are
also on trial Neither of the last two possesses
any novelty in the United States, OF course, but
the other three traction systems are not so
we'll understood here. and they are likely to
be tested IN this country in the next year or
two.
Alertness to innovations and disposition TO
distinguish between classes Of traffic are highly
commendable, but we believe that the outcome
Of the proposed experiments can already be
foreseen For feeders and Esecondary roads'
the operation Of single cars promises many ad-
vantages. Europe cannot teach America much,
If anything, about the general expediency of
that usage. We are confident that her demon.
strations OF method will prove even more un-
necessary. The combination Of the Northeast
ern/is too complicated and costly. Up to the
present time the steam engines which have
been used for this kind Of traction give rise to
Objectionable vibrations. The latter may be
overcome by improvements in design, but there
Is no way 10 get around the slow acceleration
peculiar to such motors. A heavy boiler Is the
usual. but not an tnvariable, accompaniment OF
a steam engine. Serpollet's system minimizes
that drawback, but II is noteworthy that some
OF the German railways which tried II aban-
doned IT eventually, and adopted Internal COM
bustion (gasOlene) engines instead. Well the
latter have s'trOubles OF their own" Gearing
must be used with them. power is thereby
wasted only two or three speeds are practical
Oe' and the machinery is peculiarly liable TO
set out OF order. AS for the storage battery.
