The electrical experts cannot conceal their anxiety lest the compressed-air mo- tor may drive all forms of electricity from the field as a motive power in rapid transit. Yhe journals of the science are continually presenting views and statements to shew that there is no certainty about the futura of compressed air as a means of propulsion, and the following extract from the Elec- trical world indicates the latest view taken of the new-old power by its electric com- petitor: “Renewed efforts are pertodically put as a leader forth to revive interest in some one of the favorite schemes of street-car propulsion, the latest be:ng those of the compressed air advocates. Electric railway interests ere not likely to soon placed in jeopardy, rer need apprehension be felt by this re- vival of an old claimant. Present prospects already point toward a legal war between the two r.val companies now exploiting compressed air claims, which is likely to be instigated as soon as the first car is operated. The interest at first displayed vy the traction company has materially subsided within the past few weeks, the majority of the d-rectorate now favoring the conduit system and desiring to have it extended on other.parts of the company's lines. The claims set forth in favor of compressed air still remain to be demon- strated, and the outlook is promising for apother epoch of undisputed sway for electric traction.” Washington has a direct interest in the matter, since the Eckington-Belt system is about to inaugurate an experiment with these motors under severe restrictions in- tended to force the adoption of rapid tran- sit methods by December 11, 1897. Were the opinions and presages of the electrical ccmpanies and their organs all that could be had in the way of information, the out- lcok for an immediate quickening of the schedules on this extensive system would be rather poor; but there come reports Europe that tend to confirm the of the ors and prospective from fliculty, and if the experience of and others is to be accepted, all at stands in the way of a successful in- stallation of the air-motor system here is the threat of legal complications. ee Ix Spain Blind? Spain is indignant at the merest sugges- tion from Washington that war exists in Cuba, and insists that this government has no basis for such an assumption. It is known that since March, 1895, the govern- ment at Madrid has sent to Havana, for the waintenance of the military campaign in Cuba, no less than $19,321,000. From the same date to April 10, 1896, Spain also sent to Cuba, forty generals, 5 4,768 cap- tains and lieutenants, 3,!96 sublieutenants, 0 corporals and soldiers, 143 cannon, 111 rifles, 5,000 bayonets, 23,124 cases of 72,- 326 kilograms of gunpowder. Why this vast expenditure of money and this great emi- gration of military talent if there is no war in Cuba? The statistics come from an au- thentic source, “El Liberal,” one of the most influential and best-informed news- papers of Madrid. Spain is draining every resource and without success. The “ins nificant uprising” of some of the people of Cuba has not only not been suppressed, but it is stronger and more menacing than ever. How much longer will Spain continue the ghastly farce of her pretension that there is no war and no organized opposing bel- ligerent in Cuba? ns It may be that Mr. Bryan has studied his audiences and does not believe that the rustic mind yearns for the flights of elo- quence which won so rich a reward in Chi- cago. Possibly, too, the ordinary quality of the oratory he is now offering is due to the fact that he has not had time to write and rehearse any new speeches. see The determination of Mr. Hol for Congress may be regarded as an cmen of good times. He evidently entertains the n that there is once more to he some ing in the treasury demanding the ser vices of a watch dog. ——_ + e+ __ slant is reported to work on tolary production pathy for the unpopularity of th tration as only one who has been unpopular herself could express it. — Mr. Bryan took occasion to put in a word for Mr. Bland to his cons constituents. After what happ to run cago it was as small a reparation as he j could make. ——E~ Mr. Debs has written a letter declining the populist nomination for President. He is willing to retire to private life, but does not desire to do it by so long and faiiguing a route. oo It is a good thing for municipal funds that the liability of a city for ice on the sidewalk does not extend to the little pieces of frozen water left just inside the curb by the ice- man. ——_+ +e —__ The White House, the Senate Chamber and the House of Representatives are all deserted, but these are busy ays on the rear platforms of railway trains. ——_~+ es —___.
