A Waste of Energy. There ts nothing surprising in the an- nouncement that electricity generated by the water power of Niagara has been suc- cessfully wired to Buffalo, twenty-seven miles away, and there made to run street ears. With such a tremendous force to call into service as this fall it is a marvel that last night's achievement has not been accomplished long ago. No city located within twenty or thirty miles of a great cataract should be forced to burn a pound of fuel for the development of power or for electric lighting purposes. Next to Niagara of all the rivers in this country in point of such possibilities is the Poto- mac, with two water falls within a score of miles of the city of Washingten, and thereby offering untold advantages in the way of cheap mechanical energy. The only matter of consequence to be settled now that the harnessing of rivers has begun is the percentage of loss in trans- mitting the electricity from its point of Seneration to its point of use. Actual experience must be had to determine such a factor, which will in turn bear directly upon the question of profits. One of the first experiments in this line in this country was that*tried successfully in California, where electricity generated at the Folsom falls is economically wired twenty-four miles to Sacramento and used in the latter city for general manufacturing, lHghting and traction purposes, with an estimated less of 7.5 per cent in the transmission of 3,000 horse power. Europe furnishes many examples of this method of utilizing the water power of rivers adjacent to cities, and even in be- nighted Mexico there ts to be found an in- stance that should put American municipal authorities t9 blush for their sloth or hesi- tancy in this regard. The town of Guada- iajara obtains sufficient current to lignt the streets from a cataract sixteen miles distant that has been harnessed and put to work on machinery obtained from this country and in charge of American el triclans. In the light of such enterpris: it is a trifle odd now for the achievements at Folsom and Niagara to be hailed as marvels of engineering skill. Washington has long awaited the awakening of ener- gies, either public or private, sufficient to put the Potomac to work on a large scale. The streets might years ago have been brilliantly lighted at small expense from this source. Cars might have been seni peeding to the limits of the District, and for many miles beyond with the power de- rived from the river. Busy factories might today be lining the banks of the Potomac, driven by the electrical current whirled into existence by the pent-up stream. Nor would this have taken from the city any appreciable part of its water supply, which must aiways be the first consideration in all questions concerning the use of the river above the city. The government has been advised by the most competent au- thoriues that there is enough ae power, after taking sufficient water to me the demands of the city's health, to ac- complish all these results, and yet the years go by and the great opportunity is neglected. Compared with Folsom and Niagara the local case is simple. Th. the current is wired twenty-four and twen- ty-seven miles, respectively. Here siatcen miles of conauctors would bring the power to a convenient distributing point, thus materially reducin, the percentage of loss in transmission, which depengs epon the Spain’s incompetency. She has been une- qual to the hard task undertaken. The truth is that the whole power and authority of this government have from the first been not on Cuba's but on Spain’s side. The United States has been Spain’s ally, much to the disgust of popular senti- ment in this country. What assistance might have been rendered to the insurgents if the sympathy of the American people had been left unrestrained is one thing. But that is not the thing in controversy. It is a fact that by reason of the rigid enforcement of the neutrality laws next to no assistance at all has been rendered. The Cuban army has neither been recruited nor maintained from these shores. The whole struggle is’ Cuban in conception, Cuban in maintenance, and Cuban tn exe- cution. If Generals Gomez and Ma¢eo had been obliged to deperd on the United States for surport they could not have kept the field a month. As it is they have Kept it nearly two years, and against practically the whole of the Spanish army. An overt act by Spain calling for redress by the United States would bring matters to an end swiftly so far as Cuba is con- cerned. Instantly of course the insurgent army would brace up for regular battle, and General Weyler would be helpless. Caught between the fires of the insurgents in his rear and those of Uncle Sam in his front, he would fall an easy prey to the first concerted attack of the allies, and the white flag would be his only safety from annihilation. Spain at home might rage never so violently, but with Cuba free, or on the way to become American territory, the United States, for much longer, would not be “annoyed by anything that Spain could do. What may be necessary to preserve the present Spanish dynasty is purely a Span- ish question. The United States is not engaged in propping feeble or corrupt thrones. The effort to burden it with that sort of a job failed utterly and dismally in the case of Hawall. Looking at the matter, however, purely from the standpoint of speculation, it seems extraordinary that a dynasty should be suspected of a program for self-preservation calling for a mere multiplication of blunders. If the dynasty is so weak that it could not survive the less of Cuba, how could it hope to meet the less of Cuba and a good licking by the United States into the bargain? Attacking the United States would look less like self- preservation than like suicide. ——_++2e—____ Washington already feels the invigorat- ing influence of the verdict of November third. The building of houses for homes is resumed as by magic. The operations will in many cases begin at once, so eager are the holders of capital to put it into the form of profitable investments without de- lay. With the spring will probably come an even greater degree of activity. The people of this city fully realize the com- mercial benefits to the capital of a well- administered civil service system and of a sound currency. ———~--___ The revival of business has already gone far enough to demonstrate that capital is always anxious to assert itself if the con- ditions are not such as to make invest- ment seem foolhardy. ‘Tom Watson might begia at once on the preparation of his letter of acceptance for 1900, so as to be able to devote all his time to getting it before the public during the campaign. —_——_—~»-e»_____ Secretary Carlisie’s proposition to in- crease the tax on beer will doubtless make Herr Most regret that he came forward as the only anarchist sympathizer with the gold standard. —__+ee_____ Mr. Pingree’s program of reform is so jong and comprehensive that it will not be surprising if he has to omit a few numbers, 2 —_____ Hill ts still inclined to be morose when he thinks of how the Chicago plat- form was pulled from under him. ——>ee—____ There has been a phenomenal descent of meteors recently, political and other kinds. ——e___ There were only sixty men at work on the city post-office building today. —_++e___ Mr. distance between the dynamos and the = i 1H NG transformers.

The government must take hold of this matter and acquire all the water, rights at Great Falls for such purposes, leaving Little Falls to such private enterprise as may be directed in that way. Then, per- haps, the great river will be put to the work that it has been able to do, but which has never been demanded of it. ———__ +02 -—__ ‘The Annual Congressional Campaign.

She is just the country to jump from the frying-pan full into the fire. The suggestion that Spain meditates at- tacking the United States in order to re- tire from the Cuban struggle is based upon the proposition that she knows she is beaten in Cuba and feels able to convince all of Europe and her own people at home that the United States is the mainstay of the insurgents. But whatever her assertions and assumptions might be, she would have to make them good by the record, and the record is against her. Europe {s not in ignorance either of the origin or the pro- gress of the Cuban war.
