A. has broken out in Providence, I. I. It controlled the caucuses last week for nominations on the tlty tickets, ami its extent will probably be ehown by the election. Although the iron manufacturers claim that the recent election will prevent the democrats frm carrying out their tariff reform program, they Ftill insist on cuttlrjg the wages' of their men. tlovernor Matthew is evidently fully determined that the disgraceful orgies at Rohy shall not be resumed. And the poo-1 people of Indiana are right In line with Joveni"i- Matthews in this matter. One of the hst evidences of reviving luiin'.s? is the steady increase of railroad earnings. Oil of 121 roads which hive reported for October thirty-eight, or nearly one-third, show an Increase .ver last October: and the decrease on the t At I for the- month if less than 3 per cent. This is a great advance over Septeni!cr and August. I'd!. Sireator. the man who strung Privat- 1 1 ras up by the thumbs, has let-n aliened for petty larceny. He was imbibing strong water a few evenings since and indulged in the playful pawtime 'if ordering fancy drinks and jMicketirg the silver spoons. He had piite an extensive souvenir collection when the ui. sentimental iw.lireman took him in. The ever valued Ft. Wayne Gazette very truly observes: The coming campaign will be full of living issues tariff, silver. Hawaii, banking policy and federal election laws. If ever we needed statesmen of bread views and commanding influence now is the time. In connection with this the Gazette announces the candidacy of fj. Will Wilson for auditor of state. We trust he Is up to the b-vel mentioned. C3ee whillikens, yes. The Philadelphia Inquirer is trying to make the people in the anthracite coal regions believe that the depression there is due to the proposal to take the tariff off bituminous coal. It says that Canadian bituminous coal would take the place of anthracite if the duty of "." cents a ton were removed. The Inquirer must have a limited knowledge of the difference in price between anthracite and bituminous coal, or it must have a very poor opinion of the intelligence of the Pennsylvania coal workers. The victims among small lwys of the c-igarette habit continue to increase, notwithstanding the fatal endings of many of those who continue the habit. A recent case Is reported from N?w York. A mother testified before a Judge last week in that city that smoking cigarettes had mad- the boy crazy. The boy ' has smoked cigarettes for more than a year. He spent al! his pocket money for them, and when his allowance was cut short he stole change when sent on errands by his mother. His mother said the more he smoked the worse he actfd. A week ago he threw a lighted kerosene lamp at her. The room would have been ablaze In a Moment had not a neighbor thrown a rug over the flaming oil and smothered the fire. The boy has recently been turned out of two schools. A remarkable system of robbing a train without holding It up has been rxpoeed at Hempstead, Tex. For some time past railroad companies have been losing bales of cotton in transit, and it Is now discovered that the losses were due to the work of a clever gang of negro thieves. Near Hempstead there are several heavy grades on the railroads and along these the thieves fastened to stakes chains which were furnished with grappling hooks. As loaded trains cam up grade after night the hcKk!4 were caught In the cotton bales, and they were dragged to the ground. The plunder was then hauled to a farm near by; the marks were cut out; the cotton was rebaled and shipped to market. The gang's robberies amount to thousands of dollars and it Is suspected that some white ieople are Implicated in the offense. The latest sensation at Terre Haute was the dismissal of Prof. Marlowe from a chair in the high school of that city by the school trustees. From all the facts made public, it would seem that the punishment was none too severe. The professor about a week ago quietly, and it would seem almost heartlessly, told his young wife of something over a year that he no longer loved her. He then requested her to return to her father's home in Bullivan county. In his defense before the school board he i.imply repeated the facts that he had c -used to love ner and had sent her .'. ome. The only other features of the .. -? that appear are that he was anx1 -a about his salary, threatening suit In case that it was not paid, and his effort to Induce '.he school board to support him In the matter, adding; that It would all blow over and be forgotten In fsw a Th anxiety about bis sal

ary under all the circumrances would Indicate a thoroughly selfish organization. Not a word of sympathy for the young wife about to become a mother PIear8 to have been expressed at any stage of the proceeding.?, and yet we are told that he is writing a book entitled Heavenward." That must he a curious book. Probably the young wife will be' perfectly satisfied before very long that she has made a lucky escape to her father's house.

A It UM A II K A R Id' TIIKOllY. Perhaps the most startling criticism that has yet been made of the position of the administration in the Hawaiian affair conies from a lawyer named Jefferson Chandler, and is being extensively circulated by the Harrison press of the country. Mr. Chandler speaks on the hypothesis that the revolution in Hawaii was an accomplished fact before Mr. Cleveland came into oflice; that the provisional government had been recognized by a number of nations; and that there is no right or power of review. He says: If one administration may occupy itself by Inquiries into the sufficiency of facts upon which its predecessor acted, and as the result of such inquiry substitute its judgment for the judgment of . the past administration, then the principle above stated of equal authority among presidents is overthrown. It is only by the preservation of this principle that governmental affairs become orderly, peimanent, and dignified. Mr. Harrison was elected for four years with full jurisdiction to administer the presidential oflice during that period. Mr. Cleveland succeeded him for four years with equal, but not higher, power to administe. the presidential oflice for a succeeding four years. If Mr. Cleveland may create a tribunal to secretly inquire into the propriety of the legal sufficiency of what was done by Mr. Harrison during the period in which ha was supreme, and to undo what he did if it docs not command the favor of Mr. Cleveland, then Mr. Harrison, should he return for four years after Mr. Cleveland, may restore th? old status and review the official conduct of Mr. Cleveland, and may undo that which does not meet with his approval. I'nder such a system the United States becomes a government of men and not of law. If this position were correct there would be no power in the United States to correct a wrong once done, for the acts of subordinates, approved by the executive head, would 1k entitled to the same Immunity as the acts of the president. There could bo no change of policy. The negotiations opened with a foreign power by an outgoing executive would have to le continued in the same spirit by the incoming administration, even if the outgoing adminstratiou were defeated by the ieople on account of that very policy. So far as the principle invoked by Mr. Chandler has any application at all. it applies only to executed policy. It can not possibly j apply to matters still under oonsidera- j tion. He might as well try to apply the j rule of res judicata to a case which had J not been decided, but as to which a j judge had about made up his mind when he left the bench. A question that is : open when a president goes out is nee- I essarlly open when his successor comes ! in. If the successor follows the same policy he adopts and becomes responsi- I ble for preceding action in the same line, j If he disapproves of the policy he must I adopt his own course and disavow re- j sponsibllity for the action of his pre- j decessor. No sane man ever questioned j the right of Mr. Lincoln to follow n j polity differing from tha: ot Mr. Bu- j chanan. ' When Mr. Cleveland came into oflice I he found a treaty before the senate J awaiting confirmation. He had a per- j feet right to withdraw it. If he had not j done so he would have indorsed It by ' implication. Earnest criticism of the I treaty and of Ue policy of Mr. Harrison ! had been made by a large portion of ; the American pros-. It was known that a revolution In Hawaii had beep, brought about by people who claimed to bo Americans by sympathy if not in actual citizenship. It was known that the revolution had been accomplished by them, when our troops had been landed, for the avowed purpose of "protecting American citizens." It was commonlyreported and believed by many that this revolution had been made possible by the connivance and support of our minister. The position of the provisional government forced It into embarassing relations to us, for Its official proclamation declared that it was established "to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated ard agreed upon." The Fiecd with which they were negotiated and in part agreed upon by our executive gave strong ground for suspicion that the preceding administration was a party to the revolution. Mr. Cleveland very wisely declined to accept the responsibility of indorsing the action of his predecessor without fully understanding the case. He sent a man whom he could trust to make the investigation, and became convinced that the policy of his predecessor was one that he should not follow. Ha has decided on his own course. He Is responsible for it. To say that he had no right to adopt his own course under such circumstances would surely be to overthrow the priciple of "equal authority among presidents." The exact nature of the report of Mr. Blount is not known to the public, but it may tx inferred from the action of the administration and fronf the facts that are known. We know that our troops were landed before any provisional government was formed and landed for the stated purpose of protecting Americans. We know that immediately after the landing these same Americans organized a revolutionary' government and forced the abdication of the queen. We know that our minister at once recognized and supported that provisional government." We know that the provisional government expressly declared Its purpose to be annexed to the United States. .We know that ever since our warships have been in the harbor of Honolulu with their guns frowning on the capital of the overthrown kingdom. It requires no very vivid Imagination to conceive of there being other facts back of these which Involve us still farther In this revolutionary movement against

a frlen.Hy power. It requires no great change of confidence to think that an administration which supported the tyrant Balmaceda, until he was driven front his country, and refused to acknowledge the overthrow of Dom Pedro for weeks after his actual expulsion, should have followed an opposite course when a "brilliant foreign policy" called for it. We are well content to await the publication of Mr. Blount's report for further information.

I. IIOIl C ONSOLIDATION. It seems a little bit odd that Master Workman Powderly should now be found poking as the advocate of consolidation between the various laUjr organizations of the country. For years he has stood as the opponent of such amalgamation, though unity of action was the central ami controlling idea of the great labor organization of which he has been so many years the head. At this time the appearance of Mr. Powderly and the Knights of Labor as advocates of consolidation would seem to indicate the dissolution of the knights. This was in its day the greatest labor organization ever known, superbly disciplined,, aggressive and powerful. Its downfall was due to a number of causes. In the first place it made a mistake in binding its members by secret oath, which excited a suspicion! c"s to its motives in the popular mind. This suspicion may have been unjust, doubtless was. but it existed just the same and deprived the organization of much of the sympathy and encouragement which it otherwise might have received. Then the arbitrary power given to its "walking delegates" proved distasteful to the members and obnoxious to employers. Later on the personal ambitions of various leaders came In conflict, dissensions arose and a few-defeats in great struggles caused the order to dwindle to comparative insignificance. After standing out for years against amalgamation with other labor organizations the Knights of Iabor seems to see the futility of a further individual existence and seeks consolidation. Whether or not an amalgamation will he effected is a debatable question. It is difficult to see how the differences of the past can be adjusted on any satisfactory lines. Certainly they cannot if the old leaders are to remain in control of the various organizations which it is proposed to unite. Yet it cannot be doubted that -in united and harmonious action alone lies hope of success. Iabor organ iza lions acting individually have so often been Ixaten in even the most righteous causes that the necessity for unification has become most apparent. If consolidation is brought abnut it must, to be successful in its workings, be broader in its aims and operation than anything that has gone before. It must have wiser and more unselfish leadership. It must devise means to purge lts-lf of the suspicion of tyranny and at th- same time secure almost military discipline among Its members. It will take big brains and big hearts as well as wonderful industry to bring this about. Yet it is one of the possibilities of the future. Th successful labor organization, when it is formed, will be the one which reduces the feeling of antagonism between employer and employe to the minimum, and devises the best means for settling disputes to arise from the unavoidable antagonism. It will be officered by men with no personal axes to grind, no political masters to serve. Its siim will le arbitration; Its desire simple justice. Whether the time has arrived for launching such an organization remains to be seen. m:t is phi: v. If we may judge from the utterances 0. ' the Inspired organ Mr. Harrison is beginning to realize that public sentiment In tins country does not favor the gobbling up of small and defenseless countries by the national government, simply because it wants territory. The Journal now attempts to show that Minister Stevens had nothing to do with the revolution because a press dispatch of Feb. 3 shows that there was a letter bn file in the state department which claims that Mr. Stevens was away from the island until Jan. 13, and was, therefore, completely taken by surprise by the revolution which occurred on Jan. 17. Some objection might be made to the logic of this argument, but possibly the point raised may be more easily disposed of by calling the Journal's attention to its Washington dispatch of Feb. 1. which is much more explicit on this subject. It says: As the American interests on the island are, by many times, greater than those of resident citizens of any other country, it was only natural that President Harrison's administration should have prepared for an emergency. United States Minister Stevens was, accordingly, long ago instruc ted to kwp the department of state at Washington fully informed of the growth of the feeling against the queen. and when, six month ago, the dispatches intimated that a revolution might be precipitated at any time, rurther instructions were sent Aliidster Stevens authorizing him to call for armed assistance from a United Slates naval vessel for protection of life and property and the prevention, if possible, of bloodshed. The cruiser Boston was grdered to Honolulu, in anticipation of the very event which lias occurred, and her commander, Capt. Wiltsie, before he left Fan Francisco, also received detailed instructions. The exact nature of these instructions is a diplomatic precaution not revealed at the navy department here. It Is understood, however, that both Minister Stevens and Capt. Wiltsle caused the leaders of the revolution to feel that they could have the sunort of Uncle Sam's blue jackets in accomplishing their purpose in an orderly and bloodless manner, and that the houst and other property, both of natives and foreign residents, would te protected from wanton destruction. The developments make it apparent, according to the Information thus far received from Honolulu, that the planting of marines from the Huston actually precipitated the revolution, while at the same time this government has not been placed in a position of fomenting or encouraging the change of government or, in fact, of taking any action against which any of the foreign lowers represented at the island could consistently protest. There you have the matter in a nutshell, and a more deliberate, treacherous and disgraceful overthrow of a

friendly power 'than is portrayed in these words was never known. The Journal's dispatch further relates that "all the above circumstances were discussed at the regular meeting of the cabinet today," and that "President Harrison and his advisers' were unanimously in favir of establishing a protectorate at once and leaving "the problem of annexation" to the next congress. If this statement is correct, and we have no reason to doubt it. the United States is under every obligation of honor to restore the parties to their original positions and make ample reparation for the iniquity perpetrated in its name. In the hope of keeping out contemporary moderately consistent on this question, we would also call its atention to the fact that it has uniformly defended this wrong on the ground that it was a profitable thing for the United States. When the democratic senators objected to the confirmation of the treaty with the provisional government, so hastily executed, it said; If the oppor tunity is lost the responsibility will rest on the democrats in the senate, who have played their usual game of peanut politics in dealing with an important international question. They are trifling with a great opportunity in the -..hope, of scoring a little party advantage. They have not sense enough to understand that there is a tide in the affairs of nations, as of men. which should be taken at the flood, and they are willing to risk a great national advantage for the sake of currying favor with drover. Cleveland. Journal, March 1. This is a plain proposition. The way to get an advantage is to take it. And again, when Princess Kaiulani issued her address to the American people our contemporary Said: Princess Kaiulani's address to the American people Is pretty, and touching, and womanly, and indicative of a very sweet and amiable character, but it is entirely illogical. She begs the American people not to seize "my little vineyard," and appeals to them to let her resume possession of her kingdom. This is touching, but it is beside the case. It is beautiful, but it Is not business. Journal, March 3. True, it is not "business" to restore stolen property. Princess, your mother is not up to our standard of morality, and therefore our conscience impelled us to fall upon her and rob her. We are sorry for you, but "business is business." And, later on, when it was shown that the sugar interests of the Island were back of the revolution, it said: It is to be hoped the administration will take a broad view of the whole subject. The question is not whether this or that class or Interest in the islands would profit by annexation, or whether it would put big money into somebody's pocket, but whether It is important for this country to own or control them. The question should be considered and decided not with a view exclusively to present Interests, but looking generations or even hundreds of years ahead. In such matters as this the statesman must project himself into the future and look at things as they will appear to posterity. The qucistion is not whether Claus Spreckels will make or lose by annexation, but whether the United States of America will make or lose by it. Journal. March 17. That is the statesmanlike way of looking at it from an European standpoint. What can we get out of It ? What are we here for? Why, Alexander. Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Bismarck, or tiny of their imitators, would not have hesitated for a moment. Do you want illustrations of statesmanship under such circumstances? Look at Schleswig-Holstein; look at Alsace and Lorraine; look at Poland; look at Siam; look at Mntabcleland. drab all you can. and hang to it. That is old world statesmanship, but, thank Heaven, it is not American statesmanship. Tin: iiKCKNT sua Fit movi:mi:nt. The movement of sliver since the repeal of the Sherman purchase law has leen a surprise to those who imagined that the price of silver was bolstered up by that financial eccentricity. Possibly It may have some effect in teaching the American people that they alone cannot control the price of any commodity that is in general use throughout the world, except as In proportion of the population of the United States to the population of the werld our demand affects the general supply. The chief factors in the movement of silver dur-

ing the present year have been the attempted resumption of sp-cie payments on a gold basis by Austria-Hungary, the attempted establishment of a gold basis in India at a ratio of about 1 to 21, and an extraordinary demand for silver In China and India. The last has been potent In holding up the market value of silver, or. more properly in preventing further appreciation of gold, because the common people of those countries havo not yet grasped vhe distinction between bullion and coin values. This Is especially noticeable in India, whose imports of silver for the present year already amount to about $30,000,000 and will for the year probably equal, if they do not exceed, the largest annual importation recorded. The situation in India is peculiar. The people of that country have long had the habit of converting their surplus coin into ornaments. In each village there will be found one or more silversmiths who supported themselves by this work. In times of famine or depression these ornaments' were recoined in large quantities at the mint, and this exierience, together with the fact that under the silver standard, with free coinage, the rupee' has constantly rated at Its bullion value, has educated the common people of India to estimate all silver by its bullion value in rupees without reference to its gold value. Since the order for suspension of free coinage and exchange of the rupee for gold at Is 4d has gone Into effect, there has arisen a common use of silver bullion for money throughout India. It is used in the shape of small bars and is valued by the natives with reference to its relation to the rupee in weight. That Is to say, a bar which weighs the same as ten rupees will make as many rings, or armlets, or other ornaments as the ten rupees would make. Hence, silver bullion, which has a market value in London of 70 oents per ounce, or an exchange ratio with gold of 30 to 1. is

brought into large exchange relations in India with silver coin which the government Is trying to maintain on a gold basis at a ratio of 21 to 1, and therefore attains a practical market ratio of about 21 to 1. In other words, there Is a large profit in shipping silver to India and passing it Into the hands of the natives under present conditions. But this cant not last long. They will soon learn the difference, and then there will come a reaction that will shake the British empire to its foundations. When these natives learn that their ornaments cannot be converted into coin there will arise a prejudice against silver, a demand for and appreciation of gold, a general decline of prices and an Indian panic that will melt away English capital as the Indian sun would melt snow. The week before the repeal silver was at 682 cents. On Nov. Ii it reached 7 1 Vi under influence of a special demand from' Japan. Last week it closed at 64. Yesterday silver certificates were quoted at fifUW"0'i. This advance over the price before repeal is due entirely to the oriental demand and will disappear very quickly when the people of the East learn the difference between silver coin on a gold basis and silver bullion. That will stop their call for silver and the former process of depreciation will be resumed. It may be mentioned in this connection that Itaiy's present silver trouble is duo entirely to the use of paper money, which, owing to the failing credit of the country, has now depreciated below the bullion value of Italian change money. Italy, like the other' states of the Latin union, made all silver coins below the live-franc piece of debased metal. The standard, like that of this country, was 9Ü') fine, but the small coins, or change money, was only R35 fine, or in a coinage ratio of 1 to H.3S. When Italy's paper money began to depreciate the standard silver money was driven out of the country at once, but the small coins remained until the depreciation passed 7 per cent. Then the small coins began to disappear, ami now Italy has none. It has all gone to France, Belgium, Switzerland and Greece, where, under the terms of the Latin union, it is legal tender in limited amounts on the same terms as the change money of those countries. Italy wants it returned, but of course it will le returned only in exchange for gold, or the silver money of those countries, and if it should be returned it could not possibly be kept in Italy unless there Is a marked appreciation ir. Italian paper money, for these small coins are now at a premium of 12 per cent, in paper.

1IASTKV TAH IKK RICl-'OltM. It is an encouraging fact that business interests are beginning to speak as plainly in the question of tariff reform a.i they did on the repeal of the Sherman purchase law. The tariff question is a business question, and businessmen are interested in its decision. It is of course claimed by republican papers that such men are opposed to tariff revision and that the suspension of business by manufactories last summer was due to a fear of tariff revision. This question has been very conclusively settled by Bradstroet's commercial agency, which made a careful investigation of the subject and found that only a very small percentage of the firms that had suspended made any claim of being influence l by the tariff question in any way. In so far as any of them were affected it was due to uncertainty only and not to fear of any damage from tariff revision on the lines laid down in the last national democratic platform. From a business standpoint there cannot he nn." possible damage to manufacturers from cheaper raw materials. The business view Is stated as follows by the Iry floods Economist: The worst of a tariff change Is the uncertainty of Its period of incubation. A portion of this uncertainty we have already undergone; the remainder we are In a better position to endure than we have been for many years. Let the tariff bill be pushed vigorously, and let a date be early fixed upon and announced on which the new bill shall take effect. This is the only sensible and honest course, and, we firmly believe, the only Mpular one for congress to pursue. . It may be added that this is not only the sensible view from a business standpoint but also from a political standpoint. What is the criticism now made by republicans of the conduct of the present administration as to the repeal of the Sherman law? Delay. Notwithstanding the prompt and energetic action of the president, they point to the fa.ct that we had both houses of congress and yet permitted the country to suffer for weeks before giving the demanded relief. It will be so with the tariff question. If it Is not pushed rapidly, and If an early date is not set for its taking effect, the democratic party will be blamed for delaying relief. It would be folly to incur any such criticism. The party has determined on its policy. It will put it into effect sooner or later. The evidence is clear that it will benefit the country to put it into effect as quickly as possible. Hence all motives of policy dictate quick and resolute action on the question. out; wizen tkimsov. The entertaining A. P. A. organ, the Loyal American, is moved to thank The Sentinel for the advertisement it haa been giving to the organization. It declares that "the mud throwing in which it has been engaged and the malicious falsehoods circulated through its pages have helped to swell the ranks of the A. P. A. considerably." It is probably correct to say that telling the truth about this organization is "mud-throwing," but that Is not our fault. As to the "malicious falsehoods' the organ Is not specific. There is nothing to indicate whether it refers to our exposure of its statement that a majority of the Indianapolis school board were catholics, or to our exposure of its forged . encyclical letter of Pope Leo, or to our exposures of other of the fabrications that

the disreputable schemers who pull the strings of this Institution have put in circulation to alarm Ignorant and prejudiced people. The only specification of falsehood it makes is this: The Sentinel asserts that the A. P. A. is a treasonable society violating the constitution of the United States by endeavoring to prohibit men from hold

ing office on the ground of their religous belief. Surely the editor must have known when penning the above that he was publishing a falsehood. He r ought to be a little more careful to dis tinguish between things that especially differ in their very nature. It is one thing to shut a man out of oflice on the ground of his religous opinions and quite another thing to keep him out of office because he was previously the member of a treasonable conspiracy. Surely this should disqualify any man f ftytt V -l n e j-vftt s--t In linn ..-, The "treasonable conspiracy" refer red to is the catholic church, and the ground on which this is claimed by the A. P. A. to be treasonable is that its members . , , Al inijiiui; uiK jKpe as me neau 01 me church, and owe him spiritual allegiance. The pretense that there is anything treas onable in being a memter of the catholic church is idiocy. No person of ordinary Intelligence believes it for a moment. But the A. P. A. requires Its members to swear that they will violate the constitution. Consider this official document issued by the A. P. A. in Denver: TRAITOR. M. D. VAN HORN. JESUIT. THE TRAITOR'S RESOLUTION. . Whereas, Marion D. Van Horn, an infamous member of this order, hath, contrary to his oath, said oath having been voluntarily, though perjuriously and traitorously taken, opposed the tenets of this order; and Whereas, Said Van Horn hath totally disregarded his said obligation by an overt act, to him and to us well known, and which has been in due form proven; therefore be it Resolved, That said Van Horn be dishonorably dismissed from the councils of this order, as a traitor and a perjurer; That a likeness of said traitor, with a copy of these resolutions, duly certified, be sent to each and every supreme council, supreme" lodge, supreme camp, and . RwtnJ' commandery within the Jurisdiction of the United States, as well as to each local council within the jurisdiction of this state, with a request that the same bo read, and that the name of "Marion I). Van Horn, traitor and perjurer," be proclaimed three times, at each of four consecutive regular meetings of such councils; Resolved further. That a photograph or likeness of said traitor be prepared, bearing across the breast of said likeness a Roman cross, painted thereon, surmounted by the word "traitor;" and likeness to be draped in black and hung in our council chamber: le it Resolved further. That all communications, socially or otherwise, with said traitor and perjurer by any member of this order, do now forever cease; That in his joys or in his sorrows; in his hopes or in his disappointments; awake or asleep: in health or in sickness; at his fireside or with is fellowmen, we ask Providence to grant one faint ray of conscience to quicken his Plutonian soul, so that he may see himself as others see him; be it further Resolved. That when his carcass reposes in the arms of mother earth. In whatsoever land, an unknown committee, duly appointed, shall perform its last rite in the name of this council, by marking the place so that all may know: I HERE LIES A TRAITOR. ! Resolved further. That these resolutions be adopted by a rising vote; that a committee of three be appointed by the chair to present a copy of thes resolutions to said traitor in person. This was issued as a placard. It was headed by a portrait of Van Horn and a blood -red cross. Van Horn's offense was that while mayor of Denver he appointed a catholic to office. This was "contrary to his oath" as an A. P. A. The. constitution of Colorado provides that j political right, privilege or capacity on account of his opinions concerning religion." Van Horn had taken an oath to support the constitutions rf the state , and of the lulled States. He had either to violate his oath to the state and the nation, or his oath to the A. P. A. Like , an honest man and a loyal citizen he reiV i Kio in. Tb neii-.ltv mained true to his countn. I he p. nalt. of his loyalty is shown above.

The inspecting party will consist of Coventor Flower, superintendent of public works, engineer and surveyor and several other state officers, including the controller, also the superintendent cf put lie works of tha states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Besides, thso there will be present executive officers of the Cataract j construction company, the Niagara powj trie company and the Westinghouse elee- ! tri,c company, and in addition n pnsentatives from the banking house of Drexel, Morgan & Co., Brown Bros.. Wi'.slow. I Ianier & Co.. Yeniiilye & Co. and L. i Van Hoffman & Co.. also the celebrated electrician. Nierla Tesla. A siecial train will carry them to Niagara falls, where an inspection of the great hydraulic tunnel and wheel pits just completed at a cost of $..ie .oo and the electrical subways will be made. This will he the first application of electrical power to the propulsion of commercial vessels, electricty having been used heretofore only upon pleasure boats. The method of application is by means of trolley wires suspended upon either side of the center of the waterway, there being both positive and negative wires suspended from the span wires attached to a pole line. The current is applied to the motor in the stern of the boat by means of flexible wires attached to overhead travelers, which move on the upper side of the trolley. The flexible wire is placed on an automatic reel upon the deck of the boat and by paying out therefrom the literal motion of the boat is provided for. The motor is attached directly to the propellor shaft. The equipment is furnished by the .Westinghouse company and will be subjec t to a preliminary test todav. ROCHESTER, N. Y.. Nov. 17.-Klec trical propulsion of commercial boats or canals is no longer a theory, but a demonstrated success. Mule and steam jnnver are alike doomed by the new power which was successfully tested at s o'clock tonight alongside the villag of Brighton, luur mil -s from Rochester, on a waterway of the Brie canal. The old steamboat, Ores, no.- the Frank W. Hawley. named after the promoter of the sehenie, was fitted with an electrical motor by the Westinghouse company in.Mead of boiler and engine. Taki'm' power from the trolley wire overhead, she Ktai te d off without hit h or hir.di-ar.ee and Mr. Hau l- y himself pulled the lever on the controller and set the current pulsing through the machinery to the propeller wheel behind. d-owr nor Flower and retinue, including the re w stale emdneer, Campbell W. Adams and Superintendent of Public Works Edward Hann .nr. arrived at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The electric current was taken from the Rochester street railway, about five hundred volts jmwer, and everything wa-t ready for the test at H o'clock. Thdarkness was inky, but the U.at was poled out from the buik where she w.ts lying in wait for the summons. Th trolley pedes are similar to th ones on the electric railway cars, but villi a lateral hinge allowing for a deflection of the lniat six feet cither wav. They j are only temporarily used. Later it ig intenneu to use a iroiiey running over the. top of the wire with a wire drop from the trolley to the loat and thetien connecting with the motor. givinK plenty of chance for the boat to deilect from her course and still maintain momentum, so long as there is plenty of wire to pay out from the boat to the trolley. The boat was finally placed under the wires, the lever pulled and away sii. sied faster than the law allows, si v miles an hour. The re was no hitch. n break. The blunt prow of the boat was pushed through the vater as gracefully jis ever swan sailed, swiftly but peacefully, through lands aje gardener's pond. No drawback occurred. It was a grand success. Canal men look with disfavor on the scheme because it will throw them out of work and e! away with th; necessity of so many men. It Is claimed with the new electrical propulsion boats ca'i be taken to Buffalo and New York for- two c-t n(s a mile. TiCM'MKHTKR. X. Y..
