Against formidab! n, a timid man pulls tn his horns like a small, and gives up the fight. Only the man who has the courage ot nish, Mayor We p ema to be this latter sort of a man. He declares, “I propose to fight this whole battle—the gas lease and all allied and k ed matters—to the bitter end;” and that fe just what a man must do if he expects to accomplish anything tn the way of uprooting deep-seated p orruption, “But, what has this to do with Sea someone asks Let us see. For five years the oration to which Seattle has given the use of her streets has lucted @ street railway system, and never, for a single day of that time hae there been adequate accommoda- tion for the public; and there is manifestly no intention to furninh such accommodation. During this whole p 4, while the p tion of the city has nearly doubled, this derelict and shameless poration has not lengthened its tracks by 10 per cent of t inal mileage. And this cond! tinues year in and year out, in apite of the fact that the council has full power, jon by ordinance, to compel this cor- poration to build adequate ks and furnish adequate cars for pubil accommodation.

Of course, tf you will come out flat-footed and say, “We represent the Seattle Electric company—what are you @ to do about mr there will be no need of further entighten: But do tell us the truth, for this suspense is awful, and we hate to judge you too harshly. Speed That Palls Monday was a sad day for the old gent with the sickle and the hour glass. A New York Central train gapped the distance between Buffalo and Chicago—626 miles—in the appalling time of 470 minutes, aa average of one mile in every 55.5 seconds of time. Two Pennsylvania trains brought Chicago and New York with- ia 17 hours and 57 minutes of each other, averaging better than a mile a minute most of the distance. Based op the test made by the first train, New York Central officials claim they can make the run from New York to Chicago In & trifle less than 15 hours. That would mean hurtling through space at the rate of 95% feet every second of time, a feat almost beyond the conception of the human mind. For a short distance the New York Contral train ran at the rate of 127 miles an hour, or a mile im 25% seconds. This means more than 150 feet to every beat of the normal human pulse. The more this terrific speed is analyzed in detail the more stupendous the figures become. All three of the pve trains smashed world records apparent ly without effort, and, more remarkable still, the Buffalo-Chicago trip was made with “ease and comfort,” the dispatches state. How much farther this mad trifling with death may be carried can only be conjectured. It leads naturally to the question: Is there any Mmit to man’s ingenuity and skill In harnessing nature and contravening the laws of sc It ts perfectly reasonable to sups when a man may eat his break: Chicago.
