it is autocratic cooperation, cooper.

 REAP JUICY
 HOUSE PLUMS

Washington, April 12.-A great harmony scheme to cement the mi nority of the House loomed up to-day when Minority Leader Mann announc- ed the Republican appointments to committee places. The House 1n- surgents who in the last Congress were denied places on all of the prin- cipal committees, have been handed their share of the best of the slim Republican patronage.
 Democrats and Republicans alike were astounded when Mann announc-
 ed two of the four Republican mem bers of the all-powerful rules com mittee to be Representatives Madison
 of Kansas, who wrote the minority re- port in the Ballinger-Pinchot case, and Lenroot of Wisconsin, the radical follower of Senator LaFollette. The regulars on rules were John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, and Wilson of Iliin- ois.
 The only important committee on which the insurgents failed to secure representation was ways and mean ns which will battle with the tariff. The Republicans on that committee will be: Payne, New York; Dalzell, Penn eyivania Mccall. Massachusetts; Hill, Connecticut; Needham, California; Fordnee Michigan and Longworth, Ohio, all of whom were on the com ! nlittse in tho last Congress.

THE HATTERS' CASE

The United States Court of Appeals has ordered a new trial in the Dam bury Hatters' case, upon the ground that Judge Platt erred in directing verdict as to damages only. The court must have held that the alleged cffenses were unlawful and were prov en. It follows that juries should de- eide whether alleged offenses, if proven. were unlawful and whether or not proven That is to say the court of appeals sustains the estab- lished rule that the jury is the judge both as to the law and the facts.
 Then if juries are to so decide, pub lie sentiment as to boycott comes in to play, where boycotting is in issue, for juries are supposed to reflect pub lie sentiment Were it not to secure accurate reflection of public opinion juries would never have been created.
 Through some hundreds of years the jury system has proved adequate to protect the people from the rigors of class law, and from the operation of ignorantly, or hastily constructed statutes. During all this period juries have in the whole promoted justice. Were 1t not for the jury the remark of the famous statesman, There are no courts of justice, we have only courts of law" would be even more pointed than it is.

 "Uncle Joe" Cannon, is ranking mi nority member of appropriations and gets no other assignment.
 Under the agreement with the Dem- ocrats, Mann assigned Victor l.. Ber- ger the Socialist, to a minority place on District of Columbia. Caleb Pow CTS, of Kentucky, whose committee places have caused so much trouble among the Democrats, was placed on immigration and naturalization and education. No Kentucky Democrat appeared on either of these.

ELECTRICITY FOR LONG
 DISTANCE TRACTION

The announcement that the New Haven railroad will at no distant day abandon the power station in Bridge port, substituting for it a sub-station for the transformation of high ten- sion current, to be taken from the station at Cos Cob, shows what pro- gress has been made in long distance electric lines and in the handling Of heavy loads. The problem, which seems to have been solved by the New Haven road is the substitution of electric power in the place of steam locomotives, to haul the long, est and heaviest trains. At least this is the case if it turns out to be true that the road is soon to be electrified between New York and Boston.
 The improvement will be exceed ingly costly. Many persons no doubt suppose that the object of electrical is saved. But coal is only a. small factor in the cost of running a rail- road. Equipment is large item. It is well established that the cost of such an equipment as the New Haven road has installed between New York and Stamford is much more expen- sive than the locomotives it replaces.
 The increased transportation facili- safety, and the greater comfort to passenger traffic more than compen- sates the difference.
 If cheaply generated current can be- dropped in every town, city and hamlet between New York and Bos- ton to run street railways and to do public lighting, the gain in economy will be enormous.
 The New York Central and the New Haven began the installation ut electrical systems about the same time The Central uses a third rail system, which the New Haven had already tried at Berlin and abandon ed. The third rail presents obvious difficulties, such as that of making a good contact in winter, when there is ice and snow and has other features that prevent it from being entirely serviceable for heavy traffic over long distances.
 Doubtless overhead construction i: far superior, but for railroad uses this construction cannot be that used by slow moving trolley cars Doubt less the overhead work that has beer installed between Stamford and New York represents the most feasible method of securing perfect contac that has been devised. The wire tha carries the current is rigidly sus. pended anG perfectly lined with the tracks. On account of the high tension cf the current a small wire suffices Each engine is sub-station in which the enormously high voltages ar. transformed into low tension curren by which power is produced through suitable motors.
 Long distance electric traction i! rear at hand. Of this there can bt no doubt.
