Need Of a Convention Hall.

It would be more becoming the Ameri-
can nation and more BETTING the i'm
portance Of the tuberculosis congress II
the sessions of that congress were now
being held in the hall Of the House of
Representatives instead of In the bleak
and unfinished National Museum build
ing with its topsy turvy surroundings and
inelegant approach from the north. 1t
was a poor policy that closed the Capitol
to the tuberculosis congress. The enter
tainment in an unfinished structure of this
congress with intelligent and in numerous
instances brilliant delegates from all parts
Of the world Is not as dignified as Ameri-
cans generally would like.
The tuberculosis congress again calls
attention to the need in Washington Of a
convention hall which in capacity shall
equal any hall in the world and in design
shall excel all the so-called convention
halls in the land.
With this equipment Washington could
the better impress those conventions that
honor the city and could with better con-
science urge other conventions to meet
here. With proper facilities the political
parties might conclude to hold their
national conventions here. and each OF
these conventions with its throng Of con-
vention followers Is nearly equal in mag
nitude to an Inauguration.

Labor at the Polls.

James Duncan, first vice president OF
the American Federation of Labor, states
the duty of wage-workers in the present
campaign SO clearly and admirably his
words should be read by everybody He
says:
THE labor movement of our country in
rs far as the political situation is con-
cerned Is now. as heretofore. independent
OF parties Those who have given the
greatest thought to the subject within
the ranks Of organized labor have been
busy from year to year. for a long time,
as part of their trade unionism teaching,
or at least advising. organized workers
not to be bound to any particular party,
but to vote for the principles they be-
1ieved were for the greatest good to the
greatest number Of all the people, and
that II any person aspired to public office
10 deal with the aspirant upon his merits.
and not because of his belonging or not
belonging to any particular party.
The labor movement advises study OF
the Inherent subjects and principles of
the great political parties and admonishes
each organized worker who Is q citizen
and voter (and all should qualify as
1uily as possible In both ways) to cast his
vote on election day In strict accordance
with his conscience as to what would be
the best for the whole people
The wage-worker who votes in Novem-
Der. not as a member Of labor organiza-
ton with one measure in view, but as a
citizen of the United States with the In
ferests of the whole country in view, will
be doing his duty by himself his associ-
ates and all the people.

Disorder in Cuba.

The disorders in Cuba are unwelcome
and should be suppressed. but too much
importance should not be attached to
them. There. as here in America. the
people just now are full Of politics. and
politics easily leads to excitement and
excuses Men in the stress OF discussion
and vote-getting do and say things which
are not to be expected OF them under
normal conditions. We have been In the
business of self-government for over a
hundred years. and yet are capable under
pressure Of . good deal OF rowdyism and
bad temper In the heat Of campaign.
The country is pretty we'll 'het up" at
present and may become moe so before
election day.
We must see others as we see our
selves. We must allow to the Cubans
what We ask for ourselves. They are
not only beginners in the matter OF
government. but are an excitable people
usually On hair trigger. Their speilbnd-
err are Of aowery- speech. The audi.

have already acted he would approve
that. Any other position would be impos-
sible for him. The acknowledgements al

the amendments covering the matter,
he would commit political suicide. He
would lose the whole support Of the
south, and 60 down in defeat which
would make Judge Parker's defeat look
almost like triumph by comparison.
AS for the negro vote in the north.
where Mr.. Bryan could not If he would
effect a change to the negro's injury. the
Denver nominee looks for a share OF

that play is being made for negro sup

campaign in the states Of New York. 1lli-
nois, Indiana and Ohio. particularly. Mr..
Watterson. several times. has put the case
In his most persuasive way, though 1t is
an exceedingly difficult case for any demo-
crat to put.
And. Of course. if Mr.. Bryan is elected
he will reward his negro followers. Ger
tain conspicuous men Of the race who
have served him will be appointed to Of
flee. No such appointments will be made
In the south. or in any northern state
where the party would be injured by
them. but Washington will get them.
There Is no suffrage in the District OF Co
lumbia. and no votes will be imperiled by
that course. And the negro appointees
will be brought from a distance. There
are many capable and worthy negroes liv-
ing In this town, but they will not enter
into that equation. They have no votes.
Such is the game. Mr.. Cleveland played
It, and Mr.. Bryan with opportunity will
play it. No democratic President would
refuse to play it. He would be bound
by hard-and-fast conditions. AS for the
votes necessary to confirm such appoint
ments. they can be obtained at any time.
Southern senators were not wanting to
help Mr.. Cleveland and senators from
the same section will help Mr.. Bryan.
It makes a difference whose OK is gored,
and all the difference in the world whose
negro is appointed, and where. An ap-
pointment that would give mortal Of

ences are readily moved. Everybody

ents for a political mess OF the most
unsavory kind.
But the Cubans should study and copy
US in the matter OF quick recovery
from rackets Of this description. With
US the excitement does not last. When
the votes have been cast and counted the

sions and enter upon the duties Of the

Losers and winners alike abide by the

In the conduct Of the campaign may be
freely circulated.
The American authorities will probably
make allowances for good deal of stren-
uousness In Cuba before polling day. But
after that there should be. and must be.
order. Those who are defeated at the
polls must accept the situation and bow
to the mandate of the electorate. Any
other course will mean serious trouble
for the hopes Of the Cuban people in their
second attempt at managing their own
affairs. II the losers at the polls take
to the bushes" or become disorderly In
the towns and thus threaten the stability
of the new Cuban government, there will
be but one thing for the American gov
eminent to do. 1t will be obliged to
step in again and take charge, for Cuba
answers to It, and it to the world at
large, for order in the island.
1t may be. as charged. that some OF
the present trouble is instigated by out
siders. who desire the new attempt Of the
Cubans to fail. and are figuring thus on
the annexation of the island to America.
That is for the Cubans themselves to
guard against. The island is theirs. and
the best sentiment of this country wants
them to control 1t. But order In the
island is imperative. and If the Cubans
cannot command it the Americans must.

And hoped the self-same hopes.

To punch him through the ropes.

From statistics recently prepared 1t
appears that the great city OF Lon
don uses annually 2l3,H427o kilo-
watts of electricity at an average cost
of about 10 cents kilowatt
Heavy electric traction of the fu-
ture, such as involves the equipment
of large trunk line railroads, will use
the new alternating current electric
motors. The motors are capable OF
complete and efficient control and are
able nj descending grades to return
TO the trolley line the energy stored
in the train instead of wasting in
heat and wearing out the brake shoes.
In other words the motors will be
turned into generators when going
down hill and the current made in
this way will be returned to the line.
The speed of submarine telegraphy

Portland, Maine, is to be supplied
