From cnbla 10 trolley.

It is said that ono of the leading re-
forms 10 be brought about by the rebuild
ing Of san Francisco viii be the substi-
tuition OF trolley roads for the cable lines
Of street cars which were feature OF the
old city
San lrancisco's topography was an
obstacle TO the general introduction Of
street car lines, in the old days Of horse
power, and the cable system Of over
coming heavy grades was first introduced
there The cable system was substituted
for horse power in other cities, after it's
SUCCESS in San Francisco was assured
notably in Philadelphia New Norl, and
Baltimore. But upon the introduction Of
the trolley system. Philadelphia, Ralti-
more and New York abandoned their
cable systems altogether in favor Of the
trolley, although New York chung in
part 70 the horse power system, and still
has the antiquated horse car in operation
on number Of the short cross-town lines.
Other cities supplantod the horse ear
lines with trolley lines, without attempt
ing the experiment Of cables. Whining
ton was one of these cities, and also one
Of the first in the country TO introduce the
trolley system The heavy grades that
mark our topogmphyetfoctually prevented
the general extension Of street car lines
operated by horse power, and the cable
system was investigated soon after its
introduction in San Francisco, but the
figures showed that the cost of construo-
tion and operation precluded its use here,
The trolley proved to be the thing, how
ever, and the Riverview line was, we be-
lieve, the third trolley system established
in this country. And the trolley mad,
our outlying slopes available for the many
fine residences that now adorn them.
There is little doubt that the new Sar
Francisco will find the trolley system al
improvement over the cable system
although the latter served the old city
long and well.

Foraker.s sold stand.

10 is fortunate for United States senator
Foraker OF Ohio. assuming that be desires
to stay in th, Senate ns long as possible,
that bis present term docs not expire
until March Sd 1909 For if he we're
compelled 70 fight for reelection in this
years campaign In bis State. all the oppor-
tunisis aud demagogios of the Republic
can party would engage in a furious aiiort
20 unhorse him by making capital out OF
his vote on the Railroad Rates bill
Senator Foraker was one Of the three
Senators who voted against this bin on
iis final passage, the other TWO being
Senators Morgan and pettus Of Alabama
An held that the bin was unconstitutional,
but Foraker was also actuated by hos-
tiity to the measure on general principles,
while the two ancients from Alabama
held that il was, in some of its bearings,
an infringement upon the "sacred rights
of the States"
But Senator Foraker, despite the un-
pleasant hours that he may have in eN-
planning to bis constituents why he pre-
smcd TO thus array hims-f against the
Roosevelt administration, Will at least be
credited for boldness and sincerity, He
held that the bin was unconstitutional,
and voted against It, as he did not caro-
60 indorse o. measure which he believed
the supreme Court would set aside at
the first challenge There is reason to
believe that other Republican Senators
including Knox and Spooner. held similar
views-at least this inference may be
drawn from their remarks in the closing
debate but, unlike Foraker. they lacked
the courage Of their convictions. And
30 they voted for the bill, evidently trust
ing TO the Supreme Court for the undoing
Of their work. which they have no faith in.
Under these circumstances, il is prob
able that Senator Foraker win be re-
spected even by the friends OF the mea-
sure, for his consistency in voting from
principle, and not from policy; while the
course of those Senators who voted foI
the bill believing it to be unconstitutional
viii not commend them TO their people.

The senntnrlai Campaign

The movement to have a special session
Of the Legislature called, for the purpose
Of attempting to elect a United States
Senator, is meeting with difficulties
The Regular Republicans want a caucus
held and Col. du Pont named for Senator,
with pledges of all the Republican mem
bers to support him, before the call for
the special session is issued
State Senator Conner speaking for the
Union Republicans. insists that the caucus
shall not be held until after the members
assemble at Dover in pursuance to the
call and he also insists upon the mem
bers pledging themselves TO abide by the
result Of the caucus. whether the choice
be Addicks OF any other man. AS a COM
promise between Addicks and du Pont
he favors Harry A. Richardson of Dover
State Senator T. c. Moore OF Smyrna
has refused to sign the petition asking
the governor TO call a special session. lie
is an "Addicks or nobody" member.
If anyone can evolve q Senator from
this complicated situation he will prove
himself a modern Solomon.

The Smoke Nuisance.

Discussing the soft coal smoke question,
the Morning Nows says; "Wore it possible
to get rid of the smoke the Pittsburg and
Cleveland manufacturers would be quick
to adopt any plan
Pittsburg, it is conceded has never
seriously considered any plans for getting
rid of the soft coal smoke nuisance.
Cleveland, on the other hand, is reported
to be abating the nuisance in a highly
satisfactory manner.
Perhaps it will be we'll, in consideration
of this important question. TO await the
developments Of the convention Of smoke
inspectors to be held in Detroit the latter
part of next month Those who attend
this convention will be prepared to Off
cially state what results have been accom-
plished in the anti-smoke crusade, and Ia
speak authoritatively upon what may
be done by all afflicted communities.
Then it viii be possible to deal intelli.
gently and effectively with this question
wherever it demands attention.

no government - iAanblOADD0Qs
In the race Of battleahip building be-
tween the government and a private
shipbuilding concern at Newport News,
Va-tho government building tho new
Connecticut at the New York navy yard
and the private concern building the
Louisiana by contract--the government
seems to have lost. There is now no
doubt that the Louisiana will be the frst
vessel of the two to 60 into commission.
The race has been close for months, but
recently the government has been forced
20 cut down the working force on the Con-
nccticut on account Of the lack of funds
Unless the Naval Appropriation bin is
passed within a few days it is likely that
work must stop altogether, as the Com
necticut appropriation is decidedly low
On May lst according to reports which
have been received at the Navy Depart
ment, the Louisiana was 9S9S per cent
completed and the Connecticut 974I.
The government has been hampered
throughout the race by the eight-hour
day, whereas tho private concern has
nine hours in every working day and
does not observe all Of the holidays which
the government has TO deal with.
I'm addition, IL is understood, the gov
eminent is handicapped in the matter Of
Of cost, as It pays as high wages to men
working but eight hours a day as private
concerns pay to men working nine hours
day And it Is notorious that as a
rule men who work for tho government
rarely exert themselves.
Various remedies will be suggested for
relieving the government of this handicap
One viii be that the government abandon
the eight-hour day; another that private
concerns be compelled to adopt the nine
hour day. But the most practical vii
be that the government abandon IN,
shipbuilding field, leaving it entirely tC

CITY TAX RATE.
To be Discussed by Councils Finance
Committee This Evening.

The finance committee of City Coun-
Gil will meet this evening and consider
the matter Of next years tax rate. As
soon as the receipts exclusive Of tax
and expenditures are positively calcu-
lated the appropriation ordinance will be
filed in and the tax rate fixed at the
same time
The committee still has hope Of keep
ing the rate at the present figure 81. so
on the 500 of assessed value, but is not
sure it can do so. II is said that unless
the present rate is sufficient TO meet the
probable expenditures without a deficit
II will be raised to a figure which will
meet the needs of the city.

Il is said that Mayor Weaver Of Phila-
delphia is the choice Of the Lincoln party
for governor Of Pennsylvania But There
is small probability that the Democrats
would be inclined to indorso Mayor
Weaver, and it is said that the Prohibi-
tionists are also opposed to him. Unless
the Lincoln Republicans adopt a wise and
conservative policy they will repel their
late Democratic and Prohibition allies
and open the way to an easy victory for
the old Republican machine.

The Deal Admitted.

Every Evenings editorial illusions to
the deal made by the Prohibitionists Of
the Ninth Representative district of Kent
county with the Union Republican party,
at the election Of 1902, has aroused the ire
of Dr. j. d. West of Harrington, who
writes as follows.
Mr.. Editor,-That alliance you refer to
was no more corrupt than the alliance
with prottyman, a Democrat from this
district in 1904 i had as much TO do
with the deal as anyone and there was
nothing corrupt attached to Il.
/ want you 70 know the Prohibs of the
9th district, Kent County, hold the ball

suits us the better wether he be Democrat
or Republican. ] want you TO file the

ASS you have made Of yourself

not dispute the deal to which Every

Of lalschood in this respect What
