A HEMPEN ARGUMENT.

A n OUTRAGED public, aroused
4 \ and indignant, gets its way eve
cry time. For the time being Phila-
delphia seems to have thrown off It's
lethargy and Indifference. with abso-
iutely no defense for the proposed gas
steal, and with the prospect Of an army
Of protest marching on the City Hall
Council paused, the leaders surprised
and shaken conferred, and then the
theft was postponed. awaiting the time
when the people shall have fallen back
into their usual state OF Indifferent
oynicism
There are many municipal ringsters
who smile scornfully at all protests
from the good people whose votes have
elected them, who turn pale at the
sight Of a piece Of hemp made with a
slip-knot at the end. A few years ago
when the Chicago Councils evlnced a
purpose to make gift Of the streets
to railway company the lapels OF
thousands Of coats were decorated witll
miniature nooses. and some way the
project halted.
Philadelphians were more reluctant
to adopt the suggestive symbol, but
yesterday buttonholes began TO blos-
som with large buttons bearing this
bit Of sentiment surrounding a moose;
mo Gas Steal. The last resort. We
mean IT,"
We will guarantee that this turn OF
affairs has caused many a councilman
ic heart to grow heavy as visions OF
marble palaces, yachts and automo-
biles fade, but that bit Of hemp with
a loop at the end isn't a pleasant thine
to recur I'm ones dreams.

AUTOMOBILE CABS.

ON SOME OF it's minor branch lines
- the Union Pacific has been ex-
perimenting with automobile" cars
These are merely single cars carrying
gasoline motors. The trials made so
far have been very satisfactory. as
these cars have exceeded the speed Of
the fastest trains, and show that pas
sengers may be transported at a great
saving.
But the chief advantage Is that
where tramc is light. instead Of one
or two trains day. a half dozen "au-
tomohile" cars may be run, thus Civ
ing the people greater accommodation.
This seems 70 be sort Of missing
link between railroads and trolley lines.
and is the result Of competition OF the
latter. In the West there are many
long electric lines that run express
cars and compete with the railroads
IN their time schedules. This compe-
tition has TO be met.

u URGESS Ponnypaoker has fur
~ nished a great deal of newspaper
copy since he has been at the head Of
west Chester affairs, but It strikes
MS that be has exhibited a great deal
Of common sense IN most Of his moves,
and not a whit Of dishonesty.
Most municipal heads when absent
from home have nothing but words Of
praise for the town or city which they
represent hut the Burgess Of West
Chester does not shy at the truth even
when his own town is concerned.
on his trip to Wilmington he volun-
teered the information that people Of
the Pennsylvania town were allowing

this city takes its water. He declares
that he proposes'to do an in his power

people 10 take stern measures to
abate the nuisance.
He advises suit against the town Of
West Chester. and whether or not such
a suit would have any standing we dc
not know. But we believe that were
this question agitated West Chester
could be shamed into an abatement o.
the nuisance; or, falling in that, b'
compelled to stop H. Suppose The

AlienatInn the Russian Press.
I'M tho Dotrolf pree prees.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Not the least significant feature Of
the situation in Russian as revealed
by information from trustworthy
sources is the Increasing dissatisfaction
OF the press with the conduct of affairs
and the pessimlstic tone of the conn
ments vouchsafed. Whether from fear
OF consequences. because of the strict
censorship exercised. or from patriotic
motives the Russian press has from
The outset been passive, ~ not open,
I'M tits support Of the Government
Gradually, however. this spirit has been
dispelled, restraint has been cast off,
and now influential Journals are out
spoken in their hostility 20 the Govern
mcnts course, while predicting nothing
but disaster for Russian arms. This
alienation of the press adds 40 the
troubles confronting the Car, and con-
atitutes "a serious menace to the con-
ltinuation Of the war. II mattered little
what these Journals Thought OF the
lsitntion so long as their opinions were
not given publicly.
With the public mind i'm its present
inlamed condition. the addition to the
ldissenters' ranks Of even "a small portion
Of the press imposes a new task on
those who have sought TO suppress the
rebellion at home and quiet the masses
that are clamoring for reforms. The
systematic campaign which has been
conducted against circulating the facts
in regard to the war enabled the off,
cials to keep a considerable portion OF
the empire in ignorance of actual con-
lditons. With the publicity afforded

EDITORIAL OPINION
Electric Locomotives.
ne Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican.
The successful use OF electric loco
motives seems TO have been demon
strated by tests on the New York
Central Railroad, where a few days
ago a locomotive Of that kind made a
speed Of SO miles an hour drawing a
heavy train.
The manufacture and use Of ma
chimes Of this kind being still In It's
infancy. their future IS more or less
conjectural. But there is little doubt
that they VIII take the place OF steam
locomotives for service within the corr
porate limits Of large cities In this
connection they should be considered
In relation TO the smoke nuisance, with
which nearly all cities are afflicted.
.They give out no smoke but the use
.of a large number Of steam locomo-
tives I'm city OF the size OF Denver or
greater contributes in no small degree
to the volume OF smoke hanging over

electric locomotives would do away

count would have 10 be made OILY on

come into use IN the ordinary opera
ton OF railroads is doubtful IL is less
evident in that case that they would
have any advantage over steam loco
motives except possibly I'm the matter

ANorAER JURY.

T he news from Dover yesterday
4 afternoon respecting the pro-
ceedings OF the Kent county court con-
tained one significant item. At that
tinne the jury in the Powell case was
still unable to agree, and messages
were being sent 70 the judges and re-
plies returned. Subsequently the jur-
ors were discharged after announcing
that it impossible for them 10 render
verdict
The report yesterday was that the
jury could reach an agreement provid-
ing the court would agree to pronounce
l:eht sentence. or course it would
not be fair to censure this particular
jury in the absence OF definite infor-
nation. but it may be remarked that
modern juries have a tendency to
usurp the functions OF the judges.
To our mind the question before that
jury was one OF fact-was the ac-
cused guilty OF the onense charged
II had nothing to do with the penalty,
as to impose that is. by law. the duty
OF the judges. And more than this.

accordance with the facts.

dicted person is guilty or innocent be-

Not all the romancers are in the employ of Hearst's Examiner. There was one Tn Nogales this week. He came from Tucson and from here sent to the Tucson Star a story of persecution and conspir- acy in construction not unlike the yellow label brand of "deep laid plots"
 The Tucson romancer sees in the arrest of Jasper Scrivener plot to prevent the man from ''ferretting out' the murderer of A. C. Lamb.
 'It is freely talked in the streets of Nogales," says the Star romano CT, that more than one Santa Cruz official will be called to answer in damages in a civil pro- ceeding, If not indicted by the grand jury for the part taken in this conspiracy against Jasper Scrivner 1"
 Scrivner is under bonds of S1,O00, to be tried al the next term of the district court for contemp- tible crime. He may De innocent. tie should not be condemned until proved guilty, But, If the justice of the peace who fixed the bond dld not see just reason to believe he might be guilty, he would not be held. Until he is tried, 1t is at least display of poor juegment to accuse the officers, through the columns of newspaper, with wronglng the man. However, the decision Of the Star correspondent does not affect the legal aspect of tho case. It will be tried in court.

DYNAMITE IS USED
in Attempt to Murder Superintendent
 prcut at Mowry Camp.

tempt was made to murder Super
 intendent Prout of the Mowr,
 mine, by dynamiting him while ht
 slept in his tent. That the at.
 tempt was not successful was due
 to the fact that the day before Mr
 Prout had moved his cot from one
 side of the tent to the other. The
 dynamite was placed under the
 tent at about the place where the
 cot had formerly been and explod-
 ed. The floor and side of the tent
 was destroyed and . wardrobe was
 thrown across the tent onto the cot occupied by the sleeping man, who escaped injury.
 News of the crime was telephon- ed to Nogales Wednesday morning and Sheriff Charles Fowler im- mediately started for the camp. which IS about twenty-two miles from here. After spending a day at the camp investigating the out rage Sheriff Fowler, believing there was good chance to apprehend the guilty parties, sent q message to town for Rangers Olds and Coffey to join him at the camp and assist in the investigation.
 Since the arrival of the rangers at the camp several suspicious characters have been arrested and questioned, but no dehnite infor- nation has been elicited.
 Since the dynamiting of A. c. Lamb, who was blown up and killed at Gro Blanco last April people in this section have no love for . dynamiter and every effort is being made to apprehend the per- petrators of the last attempt at murder in that manner.
 There have been rumors cir culated to the effect that the at- tempt was made by Mexican laborer on account of difference of opinion with the mining superin- lntendent, but nothing has been proven.
 Last night Mexican Consul Mascarefias received message from Washington Camp from Mexican who claimed to De from MoWry Camp, alleging that Mexican had been maltreated at the latter place on account of the explosion, in vain efforts to force him to tell something of the crime. !
 Consul Mascarenas spoke of the matter to Deputy Sheriff Cook. l asking that official to notify the ! sheriff on his behalf to protect the Mexican.
 Just before Noon today Sheriff ! Fowler arrived at Washington Camp, having in charge Mexican who is suspected of the crime. InI conversation with TIE OASIS over the telephone Mr. Fowler says there IS no truth whatever in the report telephoned the Mexican He says they have made several arrest, but have not mis- ,reated prisoners. The man whom hey believe is guilty of the at- empt to murder Mr. Prout, has oeen arrested on another charge, md is being examined at Wash ngton camp this afternoon. The 'harge placed against him is adult ny, of which the officials believe hey have sufficient evidence to loid him and prevent his escaping while the other matter is being in-
