Taking the report from Schenectady at its
face value. might venture the forecast that
this country Will soon follow in the steps of
Prussia by abolishing the conventional steam
locomotive from the local passenger service.
Only few weeks ago the Prussian government
announced that this far-reaching transformation
had been resolved upon by it's railroad officials,
who had found that Automobile cars
far more economical and satisfactory than
the gas electric made by the General Elec-
trio Company points toward this conclu-
sion. An S-cylinder gas engine developing 100
horsepower drove 31-ton car seating forty-four
passengers seventy-fve miles on a test run
and attained without difficulty a speed OF sixty
miles an hour. Gasoline is the fuel-a fact
which may cause automobilists to shake their
heads over the commercial utility of the engine.
To be sure, if reckoned only by market rates
coal dug from the railroad companies own mines:
but when the saving the cost of hauling
distributing and stocking is considered easolene
may be found able to stand the test of economy
with its sooty rival. Only one man is needed
TO the new engine, and the necessity of
having fireman or assistant in the engine cab
for emergency is obviated by the constant
presence of a conductor and baggage man i'm
the car. Should the new vehicle be generally
adopted. sharper differentiation between rail
way and trolley suburban service might be
hoped for in time. IL would be too sanguine
however, to dream that the trolley will quickly

,IaiptifTs If was however realized that such
an Injunction, if issued could not De lmmeoi-
ateIv obeyed. on account or insuperable physical
obstacles and the suit was changed INFO one ior
indemnity for the injuries inflicted 1t Is III
that form and to that end that the case mas just
been decided by the Vice-Chancellor
The fundamental principle enunciated In the
Vice-C hancellors opinion is that in using as a
conduit for its sewage a river which flows
through other communities and past the lana
of individual owners city takes private prop
erty for public uses, which under the Conslilu-
ton must not be done without compensation
The sanity and equity of that judgment are
obvious from either Of two points OF view
whether we look upon the use or the water
by riparian residents as property right whlcn
is impaired or destroyed by so polluting the
water as to make it non-usabe, or whether we
have regard to the depreciation of the value or
the riparian lands and tenements from the
same cause.
With the details of the decision relating to
the ascertainment Of damages we need not here
concern ourselves, save to say that the vice
Chancellor appears TO have acted with Judlclai
moderation. He reckons the damages at per
cent of the rental value in the first year OF IN
furious pollution, 1892 and / per cent addi-
tional for each subsequent year, so that they
amount now to about 20sper cent As the use
of the river as a sewage conduit is to cease
four years hence, the extreme indemnity be-
fore abatement is secured will be "a per cent
of the rental value The question OF assess
ment of damages in each case may have to be
thrashed out before jury. with the usual
privilege of appeal to the highest court
The essential thing Is that there is thus estaD-
lished in New Jersey the principle. which mas
already been established elsewhere. that to
deprive riparian jewellers of their natural ana
ordinary use of the water of the stream Is TO
trespass upon their property rights That may
of course be done under the principle OF
eminent domain. The Court of Errors and
Appeals of New Jersey has, we believe, de-
cided that a city has a right thus TO make use
of river But if a city does that IT must give
indemnity therefor, under the provision OF the
Constitution of the United States that private
property shall not be taken Tor puDllc use
without due compensation With that prin-
ciple generally recognized and vigorously en-
forced there will be less pollution of streams
and lakes and more clearly, economical ana
civilized system of disposal of sewage ana

PROPERTY RIGHTS IN WATER.

The opinion of Vice-ChancelIor Stevens of
New Jersey in the Paterson-Passaic River pol
luton case is to be regarded with much sat
isfactiOn. not only because it marks. if not the
end. at least the beginning of the end of a
matter which has been before the courts for
seven years and which has been under ami
mated discussion for a much longer period, nor
because II does substantial Justice in the con-
crete cases at present in litigation, but also.
and indeed chiefly. because it establishes
salutary principle which will be applicable to
great and increasing number of similar
cases.
Suit was brought against the city of Paterson
as the chief polluter of the Passaic River by
a number of riparian residents along that
stream below that city for injunction abat-
ing the nuisance which Paterson was alleged
to be committing by pouring its crude sewage
into the river, To the material detriment of the

ADVOCATES BISHOP FALL0wSS CURE.
Physician Thinks Christian Psychology IN
Entire Harmony with Medical Science

Milwaukee, Jan. 17.-Dr. U. o. b. Wingate,
former head of the State Board of Health anu
one of the best known medical men IN the N0i'h
west, in a lecture to-day before an organiza-
ton of church women declared that the manner
in which Bishop Fallows is curing the sick by
his so-called Christian psychology is in thorough
harmony with the best medical practice, par
ticularIy as Bishop Fallows only acts In cases
where medical men recognize that the disease
is partly mental. Diseases Of the mind, de-
clared DR., Wingate, must be treated through
the mind.
Religion added was an important factor IN
