6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY. January 2, 1897. ROSBY S, NOYES.. EVENING STAR has a regular d@ permanent Family Circulation ‘THE much m: han three times as large as that of any other paper, mor: or evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. E7 In order to avoid delays, om ac- count of person: ence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any Individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to z or Business Depart- tenor or purpose. ‘There ts no denying t as a motive power, engages the attention of engineers and street railway managers as 2 promising p. ty, and evidence comes to hand with ency to indicate the eagerness with which final demonstrations of the adaptability of this power to urban conditions are awalted by the practical oper- ators of important lines. The Engineering Maga: presents in Its latest issue a comprehenstve study of the various uses to which compressed air is being put, calling that power the “young giant” among mod- ern motive energies. Local interest centers, of course, in the question of the availability of air to propel street cars, and on this point the Magazine says “Economy of operation is the crucial test from the standpoint of the traction com- panies. The features that appeal most to the passengers and the public in general are the doing away with poles, overhead and the continual excavating for . pipes, or conduits. No fatal acci- dents from live wires; no obstructing the eiforts of the fire department in mome anger to life or property; no possibility s on railroad crossings in front of approaching trains; no obstructing of the running of the mpering with the conductor of power during riots and no electrolysis of water- and by escaping currents.” These are potent factors from every point of view in favor of such a motor. The En- gineering Magazine goes on to discredit the theory that the element of danger stands in the way of its use, stating that whereas the maximum pressure of the confined alr 0) pounds to the square inch—this * being reduced the moment the car ‘tarted—the Mannesmann steel bottles have been tested to 5,740 pounds, bursting then by ripping on the side in such a way as to involve no danger whatever to per- sons standing three feet away. A French electrical engineer was recently quoted as disparaging the safety of these motors, as- serting that those in use in Lyons, France, were regarded as dangerous, and that the pressures In use there were but half as great as those required by the American motors. Thus there is a difference of ex- pert opinion, that may possibly be traced to personal predilections for or against this power, resulting, nevertheless, in the utter confusion of the unselentific inquirers into the subject. Notwithstanding the claims of the Lyons engineer, it is known that the compressed air cars are popular and suc- cessful in that city, in Nantes, in Berne and in Paris. Yet a mysterious explosion in New Yerk recently on a line where a compressed air motor is being tested is as yet unexplained, and official silence has given strength to the impression that an air tank under one of the experimental motors gave way under the pressure. If this was the case, the rending metal acted differently from that which failed in the test noted In the Engineering Magazine, for the floor of the car was driven to the ceti- ing. The confused public would be grateful for demonstrations other than those inferentially given by the adoption by transportation companies of other mo- tive powers than compressed air after ex- perimenting with the latter. To this end an immediate and thorough local test would be profitable, followed promptly, in the event of unsatisfactory results, by in- stallation of the underground electric sys tem. —+ «2 —___ Inviting Confidence. There are some overly-nervous people who fear that Mr. Wolcott's visit to Eng- land will militate against a thorough return of confidence in this country. Their idea Is that it will play into the hands of the ex- treme silver party, and add to the agitation free coinage at 16 to 1. They are op- i to any steps at all by the republican party on the money question at this time. r jation is that the party tariff bill, having for its object only providing the government with a sufficient revenue. Ali the rest, as they necessary to business prosperity will follow of its own accord in good bel his would be all very weil if the repub- did not stand solemnly commit- to the very thing that Mr. Wolcott is trying to forward. He and those who hold with him are springing no surprise on the country. What they now propose Is pre- t a large majority of the people for in November. The question was discussed in all of its bearings during the presidential campaign, and it was agreed that an effort should be made to bring about an international agreement on the of the free coinage of silver. Has subject the party been released from that obliga- tion? If » Shall not the obligation be faithfully observ Would there be the slightest excuse for coming forward now and cancelling the obligation by asserting that it was merely a campaign device, re- sorted to in order to checkmate the ex- treme campaign bidding of the other side? The best way to insure a thorough return of confidence fs for the successful party to demonstrate that it is thoroughly worthy of confi It should live up to its pledges are of record, and pects them to be kept. The not demanding miracles. They understand that there are many fes in the way of carrying out the ic program. If those difficulties surmounted, and the fact is made the republican party will not If they can be, the party is 4 co do the work. ads of silver are properly taking - lead In the movement. Ample oppor- ould be given them to investigate question, so that if forelgn pow- ‘annot be enlisted in the c to that effect may ha ht In silver circles for coming ers surance more ¥ from those known to be the true and tried friends of the white metal. —— 0 It may be something of a comfort to President Cl.veland to realize that with the conclusion of yesterday's ordeal, the worst of the Rand-shaking is over. _ soe Mr. Addicks would be obliged if Mr. Platt would lend him his recipe for making Sen- ators. —_—— 22 The th in the Cabinet. AN current speculation provides for a southern man in the McKinley cabinet. The south, ft is insisted, Is entitled to recogni- tion, and the names of a number of promi- went men are suggested in connection with the honor. The list is a credit to the south, and Mr. McKinley would secure an able ami conscientious adviser In selecting any man on it. in some quarters the argument Is ad- vanced that the selection should be con- timed to those states which in November broke away from their long-time demo- cratic moorings and lined up under the con- voy of the republican party. While consid- + @Fations of practical politics might in the eecision between two candidates of equal { merit favor the candidacy of the represen- tative of a republican southern state, it is not at all clear that the democratic south should be excluded in advance from the calculation. This policy would limit the broad purposes of the action. The object of the selection should not be solely to bufld up or to strengthen a party organi- zation in any particular state, but to make the new administration truly national in every respect. The south is a most im- portant section of this country, with in- dustries already flourishing and rapidly be- ing diversified. No administration could be national which ignored the south. Nor will it be possible to properly recognize the south except with regard to the entire sec- tion. This spirit is to be manifested in the preparation of the new tariff bill. The fact that the influence of the south has con- stantly been thrown against protection would be no excuse for counting the south out in applying the principle of protection now that the republican party is commis- sicned to revise ‘he tariff on that line. The contention of the republicans is that pro- tection is a good thing for all sections, and hence they will apply it to all sections. The south’s interests are to be considered along with all other interests, just as thor- oughly as though the south had enrolled herself at the polls in November in favor of protection. And if the contention of the republicans 1s correct; if protection, sys- tematically applied, does for the country again what they claim it did during the years of its operation under ‘the Morrill law, the south will get her share of the benefits just the same as the north, the east and the west will. And so in ail matters of national import and application. The whole country must be considered. The administration must represent and keep itself in touch with all sections, and thus be able in its policies to consider all sections; to have one aim for all the people, and that aim the good of the people. The new administration will be none the less republican for this course. It will take office under written instructions. The St. Louis platform is to be its guide, and that is In all essentials distinctly republican. The effort, naturally and properly, will be to give the country good government, and thus strengthen the party for the next na- tional contest. The growth of republican- ism in the south will, of course, be wel- comed, and, within bounds, assisted. But Mr. McKinley is a man of too much ex- perience not to know that the best way to prcmote the growth of republicanism in the south, as elsewhere, will be to surround himself with representative men of the best type, and labor with their aid for the betterment of the whole country. The south is less and less haunted by the spook of negro domination. She has her local affairs securely in her own hands. She wants to prosper, and deserves to pros- per, and however she may have voted in the past, if protection and sound money assist in restoring good times in the United States, she is not likely to be found four years hence solidly arrayed in opposition to these policies. ———__ +++ —____ State Arches at the Inaugural. There is a prospect that the plans of the inaugural committees on decorations and illumination may be supplemented by the citizens of some of the states in the way of giving to the street adornments on the line of march a more distinctive character representative of the commonwealths com- posing the Union than has heretofore been possible with the limited means available. The plans already outlined and submit- ted for the consideration of the executive committee contemplate a series of arches at the streets intersecting the line of march, each being draped and ornamented in such a way as to suggest one of the states, and serving both for decoration by day and illumination by night. At the same time !t has been officially proposed to offer to the governors of states the oppor- tunity to supply additional decorations, characteristic of their respective states, to the arches assigned to them. It is contem- plated that in this way there may be start- ed a new custom that will tend to lend a more national atmosphere to this feature of future Inaugurals. Something of this sort 1s apparently the inspiration of a citi- zen of California, who has raised a fund by popular subscription for the purpose of erecting here in time for the inaugural an arch typefying the products and resources of the golden state. The outline of the plan for this California arch is such as to prom- ise an elaborate structure, heavily orna- mented and doubtless quite different in character from the simple framework tenta- tively adopted already by the local com- mittees on inaugural illumination and street decoration. Whatever may be done in this line, there can be no clash between the Washington officials and committees on one side and the officers and citizens of states on the other. The efforts of the latter will necessarily be subordinated to the general plan, and there will therefore be no duplications such as might occur if private enterprise like that shown in Cali- fornia should result in the construction of extra arches regardless of the work planned and done here. The funds raised in states can well be added to those in hand in Washington, if the state arch pro- ject should be adopted by the executive committee, for the purpose of elaborating the arches representative in the general scheme of those particular states, although this plan will necessarily leave some of the arches with less adornment than others, to the confusion of uninformed visitors, un- less all the states participate in the plan. oo —_____ ——_—_e One way and another a good deal of sport has been made of Governor-elect Pin- gree of Michigan, and many persons con- sider him something of a crank. This he may be; but his action in refusing a rail- way pass and purchasing regular tickets for himself and family sets an example that might be followed with advantage and credit by other officials, state and national, whether executive, judicial or legislative. There is a mest excellent method in that sort of madness. —_seso——___—_ The post-office building authorities turned over a new léaf yesterday and have begun the new year with an Increased construction force. Instead of the customary thirty- five men, thirty-six were given employ- ment today. —— 0 Mr. Weyler cannot regard the insulting remarks of those Madrid editors otherwise than as an example of the jealousy which Mitterateurs often manifest toward their more famous brethren. SS eee Mr. Osborne is of the belief that nepotism is one thing and appreciation of talent in spite of its familiar proximity quite another. —_~ e=_ Street Railway Motive Power. From the New York Tribune. One of the management of the Metropoli- tan Street Railroad Company, In consent- ing to reply yesterday to inquiries made by a Tribune reporter as to the reasons that influenced the directors in determin- ing vpon electric motive power, said: “The advantages of the two systems of com- pressed air and electricity were thoroughly considered before eny decision was arrived at. It was demon-irated that compressed air is as yet enly in its infancy, and it is yet to be proved that ft can be put to ser- viceable use. But the underground trolley has been experimented with, practical ap- plicatior. has been given ft by this com- pany, and it has been found to meet all reqcirements. In discussing and subse- quently deciding upon the merits of the two systems, there has been no dissension among the directors, and the sensational reports that have been printed to the con- trary have been untruthful.” ; Considerable interest has been displayed by the public in the probabllities of the company substituting some other power for the present cae system in Broad ‘. But, as has been already foreshadowed in the Tribune, no change upon this route is contemplated. THE EVENING: STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 32, 1897-24 PAGES THE WEEK, fiver senators decided to oppose the nomination of gold democrats appointed to fill offices from which silver democrats were. removed during the recent campaign. Rep- resentatives of manufactures appeared be- fore the House ways and means committee and asked for an increase of duties. The President issued a proclamation putting in- to effect July 1 next the new rules of navi- gation at sea, adopted by the international conference at Washington in 1889. The Secretary of the Treasury authorized the collector of customs at Jacksonville to give clearance p2pers tu the Dauntless, suspect- ed of being a filibuster, if the master of the vessel and the shippers and consignors of the cargo took the required oaths.

Purroy, democratic leader in New York, bolted Tammany. County Treasurer A. J. Jernigan of Austin, Texas, shot him- self to avoid disgrace from his defalcations. Frederick C. McLewee, inspector general of the New York National Guard, was re- moved for criticising the adjutant general and others. J. Tillard, an employe of a de- tective agency, testified at Pottsville, Pa., that he had conspired to secure by bribery the election of John Wanamaker to the United States Senate. A passenger train was thrown from a bridge over the Cahaba river in Alabama and twenty-nine lives were lost. 5 Foreign. A family of ten persons and a number of cattle were engulfed by the sliding of a bog of 100 acres near Castle, Ireland, In County Kerry, Ireland. Twelve men and several children were drowned near Mala- ga, Spain, by the wrecking of a fishing smack. A landslip at the village of Santa Anna de Pelago, Italy, domolished 118 houses. The French steamer Deux Freres foundered at sea and fifteen of her crew were drowned. Two of the men charged with assassinating M. Stambouloff, ex- premier of Bulgaria, were convicted at Sofia and sentenced to three years’ impris- cnment; the third was acquitted. Lord Wil- liam Beresford, husband of the dowager Duchess of Marlborough, was thrown from his horse while hunting, and was seriously injured. Premier Canovas said Spain would rot accept intervention of the United States in Cuba nor introduce reforms in that island so long as the rebellion is not confined to the eastern provinces. Captain General Weyler announced that the prov- ince of Pinar del Rio had been pacified. Julio Sanguilly, the naturalized American citizen, was sentenced at Havana to im- prisonment for life for conspiracy against the Spanish government. The preamble to the decrees relative to reforms in Porto Rico, signed by the Queen Regent of Spain, announced that they would be applied to Cuba as soon as the conditions in that is- land permit. Sir Alexander Milne, a re- ured admiral of the British navy, died. In the District, Actirg upon the protest of a number of clergymen and other citizens against the prevalence of street noises Sunday morn- ings the Commissioners issued an order prohibiting the crying of newspapers on the Sabbath. Meetings of various commit- tees in charge of plans for the inaugural ceremonies were held and ¢etafls of the preparations were discussed. Fire destroy- ed the furniture store of ine Julius Lans- burgh Company, on New York avenue be- tween 13th and 14th streets, well known as the Rink, and property to the value of about $100,000 was consumed. Arguments were delivered before Chief Justice Birs- ham in the case of Frank E. Barrows, the boy whose commitment to the reform school was held to be illegal. Rev. Rich- ard P. Williams of Montgomery, Ala., a cepted a call to be rector of Trinity P. E. Chureh, in this city. Louls La Preux died from his injuries, received by being struck by a Metropolitan street car, and a coroner's jury rendered a verdict of ac- cidental death. A similar verdict was ren- Gered in the case of Chester R. Faulkner. also killed by a car. Robert W. Fenwick: and James W. Brady died suddenly while riding in street cars. Among other deaths were those of Wm. M. Shuster, a well- known retired local merchant, and Rear Admiral Joseph 8. Skerrett, U. S. N., re- tired. —_—_+ + + —____ SHOOTING STARS.
