Eirhty-Mile Traction.

Steps have been taken toward the in
stallation near New York city of subur-
bal electric line constructed on the mono
rail- plan. The project is to run single
motor cars on a track so devised as to
give a perfect security against derail-
ment. while reducing friction to a mini
mum. The cars are fifty feet long. point
ed at each end. and it is claimed that
they can be easily driven at the rate of
eighty miles an hour. There is no mention
in the dispatches of the gyroscope as a
device for keeping cars level, the plan
apparently being to depend upon guide
rails above the car. incidentally 1t may
be remarked that no progress is report
ed from England in the matter of adopt
ing the Brennan gyroscope car as a prac-
teal system OF rapid transit. 1t Is obvious
however, that. by one means or another
in a few years rapid transit systems will
have been in large measure revolution
lied. There are various devices now ap-
preaching perfection. but yet in the ex-
perimental stage. which promise to yield
much higher rate of speed than is at
present developed by either locomotives
or electric motor OF the two-rail type. The

public is not particularly eager for the es-
Establishment of a sixty or eighty mile rate
on the electric lines until it can be ao-
solutely assured of safety. To this END
the voters in every state should insist
upon the enactment of laws posi-
lively prohibiting the construction OF
single-track lines in any circumstances
whatever. With the elimination OF the
single-track roads, a large percentage OF
the danger of rapid transit is overcome
But even with the double tracking of the
lines there remains a heavy rlsk. pro-
vided there is not an effective mechah-
ical supplement to the administrative
checks upon carelessness. 1t should be

The Patent Office.

COMMISSIONS Moore's accommodation
that a new building be erected for the Use
Of the patent office ia worthy of favor
able consideration by Congress. That
branch OF the Interior Department has
become one Of the most conspicuously
useful of the public bureaus owing to the
remarkable fertility OF the American brain
and the success of the system of issuing
natents for the protection of inventors.
The work of the Office has grown to
enormous proportions as compared with
the early days. and it is due to the in
ventors of this country. who have con-
tributed so richly to its mechanical prog
ross. that every possible facility be pro-
vided for the prompt and thorough con-
Sideration Of the claims filed by them. To
this end there should be an increased
force of examiners. and for their accom-
mediation Il building separated from the
Interior Department headquarters large
enough to take care not only Of the i'm
mcdiatcIy increased establishment but to
provide for the enlargement of the future.
The commissioner of patents points to
the fact that his office Is earning a large
sum of money annually for the govern
ment and he asks that this be taken into
consideration as an argument for n new
building The needs of the Office should
BE- considered on their merits without
reference to whether the bureau is self
supporting or money -naking or a drain
upon the general revenues. Congress
should weigh these matters with reference
solely to the best interests of the public
service and I'm the light of the fact that
there is money enough and to spare for all
the purposes of construction and equip

Cleveland influence is stronger there than
elsewhere in the country.
Let ii be noted that, leaving out Mr..
Carlisle the surviving members of the
Cleveland cabinet are not recruits for MIR.
Bryan in this campaign. They supported
him in his second race eight years ago.
and Hoke Smith left the cabinet In 1896
to support him. Mr.. Smith is a strong
believer in party regularity.
Will these live men tip the scale as
against the dead Cleveland A contro-
versy exists. IL is true. as to Mr.. Cleve-
lands attitude in the premises at the
time of his death. The letter credited
to the former President, in which Judge
Taft was praised and Mr.. Bryan con-
demned. has been challenged and inves-
tigated. and it is reported that a warrant
is out for the man who uttered 1t for
publication. This. for campaign pur-
poses is SO much to the good for the
Bryanites.
But the claim that Mr.. Cleveland was
opposed to Mr. Bryan does not rest upon
this discredted letter. 1t has been as
serted that man in this town. who was
on terms of friendship with Mr.. Cleve-
land. has Il letter written to him by Mr.
Cleveland containing strong anti-Bryan
sentiments As the story goes. the re-
cipcnt OF the letter v!thholds the text
from the public for private reasons. The
letter was i personal communicative. and
the recipient does not desire to figure in
political controversy. But as the ques-
ton is now OF national interest this man
might worry we'll waive both points.
Not SO much Importance attaches 10 Il
speech made las, week by a Wet Nir-
Sinia politician who was Mr.. Cleveland
host in October, 1900, at the time of the
funeral of W. l.. Wilson of that state, Il
former cabinet officer under Mr.. Cleve-
land. On that occasion. speaking Ill the
quiet and confidence of a library. MI
Cleveland denounced Mr.. Bryan as a
dangerous man and no democrat. But
that was eight years ago. Several ".s-
tinguished democrats who arc now sup
porting Mr. Bryan entertained that same
opinion IT that time.
Still. the probability is that were Nh.
Cleveland alive he would not indorse Mr..
Bryan. He would not have presided at.
or addressed. last nights meeting. He did
not love Mr.. Bryan any more than Mr..
Bryan did him. They did not believe in
each other On the issues of this day
they were as far apart as the poles. And
Mr.. Cleveland was as Mr.. Carlisle is. out
Of politics. with no reason for commit.
himself TO a mar ard policies outside of
his approval.

The Brightwood Car Service.

The interstate commerce commission,
charged by the law with regulatory su-
pervision over the District street rail-
ways, now has before it a recommended
ton filed by. the citizens selected by 1t to
conduct the direct inquiries, calculated to
relieve the congestion on the BrlgntWoou
car line. This recommendation is that
the railroad be required to operate every
car through from the District line and
from Takoma Park to the heart of the
city between what are known as the rush
hours of the morning and the evening
four hours in all. and that at all other
parts of the day covered by car service
the company be required to run through
cars every half hour. The object of this
plan is to afford the patrons of the line
living beyond the city limits means of di-
rect access to their places of business.
The company raises the question whether
in providing this through service it is
not entitled to collect double fara.
Before passing upon the recommended
ton for through cars the interstate COM
merce commission should ascertain be-
yOnd question as to the companys right
to charge q double fare in case the pro-
posed service is installed There is no de-
mand for through service on this line or
on any other of the suburban lines within
the District at the cost Of a second fare.
At present the local lines carry their pas
sengers 70 the District boundary on
single far basis, whether transferring
them or not. II is certain that If through
cars are run on the twO-fare basis hey
will not attract patronage, and conse-
quently they will not relieve the conges-
tiOn but rather will increase il.
The chief demand Of the patrons of this
road is for more cars. preventing the con-
gestion at the point of transfer where
usually a single suburban car is required
to carry passengers deposited by three OF
four city cars. The transferring process
is nuisance, but it will probably be borne
by a majority of the people in preference
to the imposition of double fare penalty
for the through car privilege.
At the hearing recently before the local
commission the patrons Of the Bright
wood road made convincing showing Of
their needs in this case. Their represen-
ftations were supplemented by the report
of the commissions secretary. who had
personally gone over the ground. riding
on the cars in varying conditions of the
traffic and thus studying the situation at
first hand There is no possible doubt
that practical measures of relief are nee
essary in the interest of public safety,
not to speak of the comfort and conven-
fence of the passengers. If through cars
on a one-fare basis will relieve the situa-
ton they should be installed. If IT is
impossible under the terms of the law to
require the company to grant the through
car service for one fare. the commission
should exercise its power TO compel the
installation of enough suburban cars to
carry the people safely and with fair de-
gree of comfort.

Mr.. Cleveland and His Friends.
