FIFTH AVENUE OMNTBUSES.

An odd system of traction is about to have a
which is unlike anything seen here before is TO
be made the subject OF experiment From a
description given by THE Electrical World and
Engineer It appears that reliance will not be
placed on electricity alone gaSolene alone, but
q combination of the two. Power having
been generated by an internal combustion
gine, 1t will be used to drive dynamo, and the
current thus generated will run an ordinary
electric motor, whose energy will be communi-
Gated by means OF sprockets and chain
1t is not easy TO perceive the beauty Of such a
plan. Satisfactory results with storage bat
teries not having been secured. it would have
been natural to abandon electricity altogether
Instead, the electric motor will be retained. and
in place of accumuiators each vehicle will carry
around its own power station The arrange
ment Is not only curiously-one is tempted to
say ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS but il is also ex-
travagant. Three pieces Of machinery are en-
ployed where one would suffice. The first cost
of the equipment therefore, must be greater
than that of simple gasolene engine. Besides
every transformation which mechanical energy
undergoes before. 1t is applied involves loss
More fuel will be required to perform a given
amount Of work than if the engine operated as
1t does in propelling ordinary automobile
without any intermediate machinery

years ago an inventor named Heilmann per
suaded French railroad company to build and

clpie as me new omnibuses for 5th-ave,, except

TAuuANY OR ANTI-TAMMANY.

The supporters of Mr.. Mcclellan might as we'll
give up their efforts to stampede the Republicans
and anti-Tammany Democrats away from Mr.
WINS The plea that Mr.. Hearst is Mr.. McClel-
lans most dangerous antagonist. and that Mr.
Ivins's friends, for the safety Of society, must
put Murphy and McCarren guard is completely
disposed of by Murphy himself. Yesterday Muir
ply announced: Hearst will be last In the
race"
The contest, then, is plainly between Mr..
Wins and Mr.. Mcclellan. Every Republican and
anti-Tammany Democrat should therefore stand
firm in support of Mr.. WINS. If the Hearst
strength proves slight Mr. Mcclellan may be
elected but strong opposition should be made
and Tammany should be taught to feel at least
for short time at the beginning of a long term,
that its margin for Ill behavior is small. If, on
the other hand, Mr.. Hearst as many believe ne
will splits the Tammany organization squarely
in two Mr.. WINS is almost certain to be elected.
The larger the Hearst vote the more important
is it for every believer in conservative progress
against reckless experiment to support Mr..
WINS, lest perchance the larger of the Tammany
fragments adhere to Mr.. Hearst. Drawing his
support as he does in great measure from Demo-
cratic sources, if Mr. Hearst is danger a vote
for Mr.. Mcclellan is vote thrown away Muir
ply declares that he is not danger and that
the contest is between Mr.. WINS and Mr.. McClel-
Ian. He of course, predicts that Mr.. Mcclellan
will win. Every opponent of the system Of hon
est graft should make point of seeing that he
does not win. Tammany officially eliminates Mr..
Hearst from consideration. The question is SIM
ply the old of Tammany or nti-Tammany,
with the Tammany ranks invaded and disordered.

ARTISTS PLAN CONSOLIDATION.
National Academy of Design and Society OF
American Artists May Soon Unite

4 proposed plan of union of the National Acad-
emv of Design and the Society of American Ar
lists will shortly be announced. 1t is now under
the consideration of a joint committee. composed
of three members of the council of the Academy
and three of the board OF control OF the society
Harry w Watrous. secretary OF the Natonal
Academy of Design said yesterday thet' "hlAe
the chances of union only fair. without doubt
vigorous effort would be made TO consolidate the
two societies on basis acceptable to both III is
desirable that they unite. he said because untii
they do it will be impossible to make appeal TO
the public for $2.G0o.00o for the erection and
endowment Of a united fine arts exhibition buiid-
ing in q central part of the city.
Mr. Watrous thought that II academicians would
consent to give up of the old time privileges
for the benefit of the societies would soon get
together At present academicians have the right
10 exhibit three pictures at an exhibition without
having them passed upon by jury. 1t Is proposed
To reduce that number to one, the same as lot
associates.
Mr watrous said there mistaken idea
that academicians had the right to nave pictures
hung ION the line" He thought compromises
would be necessary both sides. but that only a
few amendments would have TO be made to the
academy's constitution.

A LESSON FROM PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia II beginning to find out what II
costs to live under an honest graft" system Of
government The Republican bosses In the
Quaker City have long subscribed to the Osborne
Murphy theory that "he was a fool II he didn't
get II" Having a freer rein than our Tammany
Hall statesmen the Philadelphia 'grafters" have
not been so particular, possibly, in distinguishing
between operations barred by the criminal code
and operations not SO barred, and therefore "hon-
est" Over there more chances have been taken
perhaps, and now that exposure has come the
odiousness Of the system stands out in clearer
lief. The Philadelphia practitioners Of the gentle
art OF turning political power TO private gain seem
to have been little more careless than their CO.
workers here and in other cities. or-shall we
say little less fortunate
Last spring the Quaker City bosses tried to
loot the municipal gas plant; but SO brazen was
their defiance of public decency that the people
revoted and. led by Mayor Weaver determined
TO smash the hitherto invulnerable Republican
city organization War was declared OH the ma
