showed much scholarly ability. Col.
sawyer, past the fourscore mile post of
life, has had wide and varied experience
as a soldier and citizen, and his heart is
still with the old "boys." The program
occupied more time than the committee
anticipated, thus compelling the Colonel
to somewhat abbreviate his address. We

JERSEYS TAXATION pPOBLEN.

During the recent political campaign in New
Jersey the Democratic orators and organs who
filed the air with an insistent camor for equal
taxation" didn't really mean equality In dis
trbuting the taxing burden. Their idea of Il
short cut, rapid transit route to the kernel of
this problem, simply 10 soak" the railroad
companies for whatever additional revenues the
various municipalities might need. They did
not say So but left it to be inferred that under
their benefcent plan other property owners
would be taxed very lightly or not at all. A
little thing like the State constitution was not
an obstacle TO worry about for, as a local states
man once remarked, What's the Constitution
between friends?"
But that is all past and done with and more's
the pity because it was very amusing while
1t lasted Now the commonplace matter-of-
fact Republican plan is being worked out in
methodical. panstaking fashion. The special
commission appointed by Governor Murphy is
collecting testimony and hearing statements
from the parties interested Everybody has an
opportunity TO present facts, opinions or argu-
lnents- Already It appears that various kinds Of
property not owned by railroad companies is
| either wholly escaping taxation or else is not
| contributing a fa'r proportion. BY the time the
commission concludes its laIprs there ought

II is to be hoped that this may be collated and

| subject is too big, too important to be dealt
with hurriedly. Before legislative action he
taken citizens should have time to digest the in
formation gathered, so that in each municipality
they may assemble 10 discuss it. The boards Of
trade, citizens unions ward associations etc

may be in position to talk and act intelligently

THE ELECTION AND THE TARIFF

THE ELECTION AND THE TARIFF.
Those who interpret the election as a popu-
lar mandate for the maintenance without any
revision of the present tariff schedules seem TO
forget that the Republican party came before
the people, not ayowing opposition to any
change but demanding that whatever revision
of the tariff might be needed should be made
by its friends. Never did it profess 10 see any
thing sacred in the present duties 1t stood
firmly for the principle of protection and de-
clared that the protective principle must be
maintained and that the enemies OF protection
could not be trusted 10 make any alterations
which might from time 10 time be needed for
they, instead Of perfecting, would wreck the
whole structure. but that the necessary work
OF keeping the tariff up 10 date should be done
by its authors To all criticism concerning out
grown schedules the answer has been made
that the Republican party has proved its
powers of practical craftsmanship, that il never
failed TO deaf sanely and progressively with
new conditions as they arose and that it could
be trusted TO deal wisely with the popularity
desired readjustment Of duties. THE Republl-
can Campaign Textbook" issued by the Re
publican National Committee an exposition
OF party principles and a guide to campaign
speakers. thus discussed the question Of re-
vision:
Much has been said during the last year as 10
the Importance OF a revision of the present
tariff. To this il is only necessary to say IN
reply that the Republican party has adjusted
revised, increased reduced the tariff when
ever such adjustment, increase decrease
seemed necessary during all OF the forty years
since il assumed government IN 1861. . In
many of these changes there was marked re-
duction In rates Of duty. Indeed, there has
never been a time during the forty years of Re
publican control that Republican Congress
did not respond to G. popular demand for tariff
changes, whether OF advance reduction With
this record IL seems not unreasonable TO assume
that any changes IN the tariff justified by condi-
lions will be not only demanded of Congress by
the people through their usual channels of APP

The Republican platform. while firmly stand

vision public interest might demand By pro-

NEW TESTS OF TURBINES.

A competitive trial of some English cruisers
throwing fresh light on the relative merits of
the two principal types of marine engine was
concluded few days ago These vessels are
small, light and rather fast, being intended
chiefly dispatch boats Their displacement
is only about 5000 tons. their machinery is
meant TO exhibit 1900 horsepower and a speed
Of 21a4 knots was required to insure accept
ance. The TOpaze, after which the class is
named and two other vessels are equipped
with reciprocating engines, and the Amethyst
is provided with turbines Years ago it was
thought possible that the use of the latter might
involve a saving in weight, but such does not
appear to be the case thus far In the present
instance there was no gain worth mentioning.
The engines of the Amethyst weighed 535 tons
and those Of the Topaze 537. In performance,
however there a notable difference
First, as to speed. The best showing of the
Topaze wac 22.34 knots an hour. The Anne
thyst, with the same boiler power managed
to travel $3.50 knots fully a knot and
quarter more! The second important element in
the competition was coal consumption. At low
speeds-say ten or twelve knots-the turbine
cruiser burned the most coal. At high ones she
was much the more economical of the two.
II has been computed that with $50 tons of
fuel. for instance. her radius of action at eigh-
teen knots, would be 5000 miles while that OF
the Topaze would be only 2,77O The former
distance is about 80 per cent greater than the
latter. At twenty knots the disparity would
be even more conspicuous. Unless there is an
error in the calculations which appears TO be
impossible-the Amethyst should at this speed
be able to travel $3.50 miles, and the Topaze
only 2,140!
In order TO judge accurately these achieve
nents ii may be necessary TO take another fac
tor into consideration. The TOpaze has twin
screws. and four blades on each propeller The
Amethyst has three screws, as have all vessels
driven by Parsons engines, each propeller bear
ing three blades. In diameter, area and pitch
the propellers of one cruiser are exactly identical
with those of the other. Whether or not the
screws Of the first mentioned vessel are respOn-
sible in any measure for her manifest superior
ity is Il matter about which engineers may not
be agreed but in any it does not seem
possible fully to explain the Amethyst's wonder
full speed solely by features external to the hull.
The chief difference Is undoubtedly inside.
One advantage of the turbine for vessels
which has not hitherto received much atten-
ton is made the subject of passing comment
by English technical periodicals. ship which
is driven at high speed by such an engine, 1t
was long ago observed, is entirely free from
vibration. That improvement not only pro
notes the comfort Of her officers and crew, but
also insures greater accuracy of aim in han
ding her guns. Other things being equal, one
such recommendation is enough Ito turn the
5cale in favor of the turbine.
