The only excuse' al lowed by the bill Is llliie.is or nbwcnc.0 from the county on election dny. This nu-amue, of i-miwe. Is nbtuid. There Is nothing In the nuturo of the fr.uichlsio to cull for compulsion. Vot ing Is a pilvlleKe. not a Unlit. It can be exetclsed or ncRlected nf) tile? lndl liluul citizen vvlllx and It Is proper tli.it tt should be po. The man v'lm does not will to so to the primary or to the general election has no light to complain If lcsults In government do not htilt him nor are his fellow-cltluens bound to pay any attention to his com plaints. To r (impel such a citizen to vote would be to Invite a spiteful or it vicious ballot, which mK'ht batter be left out. Ignorance nt the polls Is bail lough; but It Is far less dangerous tlinii malice. Compulsion In government has Its proper placet-. It may lightly bu put forth to pi event or punish the commis sion of a rrlnie. But failure to vote Is not a crime nor by any reasonable ar gument can it be construed into near kinship witli u crime. It Is simply an i-xerclse of individual choice, whereby the citizen chooses to disfranchise himself and remit to others the selec tion of the agents of government. Some men meter to avoid responsibili ties and when they can bo permitted to do this without Injury to others, they should be accommodated. The muu who prefers beluga subject to be ing a sovereign would make too poor a soveielgn to watrant the count! y in forcing lilni to wear the crown. Ci'os.slp Is now crediting "William If.

I.N THU opinion of many t.iihoad experts, the year liMl h to bo ehaiaeterUcd by gieat autlvlty In the- building and development of trolley lines. It Is a curious fact that the owners of steam road herur Itles have been Mow In auprn-lating the coinmureial value of the trolley, and have In many instances pel milted other iic-nons to get In on the giound iloor wilh valuable liauehlses which, when developed, drain from the steam loads their local passenger tr.illle, and ihieaten at no distant day to maku Intoads'iilni upon local freight tiafllc. Hut ir the lallroads were blow In up. predating the Mgnllicaneo of the tro. ley's rlvuliy, thr-y aie now thoiouglily air it and in many localities are pto. ciedlng to pUKhuce exibtlng tiolley lines and to plan extensions, both lii ouk-i- to protect tho steam lines and to tuku advantage of whatever opportun ity for money-mnklng may hereafter (let clop through the growth of trolley patronage. This lb peculiuily Hue along the lines i fuelled by the Pennsylvania j-ystem aiulalllllated roads, li, tlilet. as, n othiSj things, the Pennsylvania people uppiar to be ninny paces nhcad on ti. pioc-jjssibn. One Inteu-tting new devel "priipit III trolley building is planned for tho coming sptlng and conteni nlutMS n last lino betwteu New Yoik andPlilludelphla. Hlghts of way, cov ering; practically the entire distance, have alroady been secured and the Johiibons.of Cleveland, Ohio, are under stood, to be furnlbhlng tho money. Heavy mils are to be Juld and the roadbed coiibtructcd to fucllltuto fast tiavfj. A full faro of Jl is to be churced, but In view of the fur.t that the Clmc between the two big cities will jhe ubout live und a half hours, It 1h pjobnbljr that travel will bo local ratlijr than through. Ail(jther enterprise In prospect Is n continuous line from Mauch Chunk to Slatlngton with branclies to Strouds buigind Delaware Water Qap. Only u sinll. link is icquhrd to connect Harrlfcburs by the Cumberland valley wlthHugeiHlown, .Md and It Is prob able'tliut this link will boon bo sup plied, Trolley developments from Am bler to Uethleliem, und from I,ancabtei to Lebanon and eventually to Harris burg aie In prospect; and while noth ing has -recently been said about the proposed through line from Scranton and C'urbondple to Wllkcs-Jlarre, with posbsiblo connections, as far as Hazlc ton and the- more Importuul cities of the Schuylkill region, the completion A of this systPln Is only a question of I nine Having lUHsod lift pxpoilmcntnl Ktage and become thoroughly (tiinwrvlent to tho will of man, tho trolley load Is to bn the rout! of Hie futuio, brlnglnK pverybody Into speedy cotnmunlcatlon with everybody clee. And yet tho ex perience of tho Heading company Miows that the development of tho trolley docs not nccessailly Interfere with tho development of Meani rullwuy tialllc. In the early dnjs of trolley building 'the Heading load sustained notable losM's In Its local passenger trnlllc, but Intleily It has been steadily gulnlng, and it Is now the opinion of the Head ing oillclnl.i that what losses they Incur In local tiavel, covering u distance of one, two, three and four miles, are mote than offset by the Increased gen eral travel brought to the steam roads by the trolley radial lines which tup remote lural districts and btlng the Inhabitants of the country Into more direct communication Willi the cities. SIihp the medlcul authorities have decided that yellow fever Is dissemin ated by mosquitoes only, effort has been directed to getting lid of the mosquitoes. Two methods arc being Used In tho vicinity ot Havana. Onu Is to pour quantities! of Itcio seno In tho pools of stagnant water. This Is tntal to the 'vonng Insects. The second plan Is to plant eucalyptus trees In marshy and malarial dlstilcts. Til" odor of this tiee seems to be peculhuly objection able to mosquitoes, and they soon dis appear fiom Its neighborhood. Still u third antidote Is to be tried. This Is the planting of castor oil plants. In tioplcal countries the castor oil plant glows to Hie dimensions of a large tiee, und Is perennial. Its smell Ik ihlso disagreeable to mosqultoc-M. It Is to be hoped that these meabiirrs will not be in vain. Should they piovi- ade quate, the knowledge th.it yellow fever can be entirely ovetcome would bo well woith till the cost of the war with Spain. Non-Partisanship Ineffectual.

The professions of a. candidate for office aie always worthy of attention cveirtlioiigli they sometimes fall short In performance. AVe note tho above platform, howoer, less through Inter est In the particular light that gener ated it. than because It Ulustra'es a method which should be more pievu leiit in municipal politics. For a hun dred yeaib tliero lus been theoretical nilvoeacy of non-partlsanshlp In uiuri iclp.il uffalrs and practical L-.hibItlou of partisanship. Even the non-pirtln-aus become partisan when tiying ;o carry their Ideas into effect. The need of parties, one lo niopusi- and another to oppose, is established in the ground woik of Anglo-Saxon civilization and theorists can no more upioot It than they can lly. This being conceded, why should we not hao municipal platfoims as well as state and national platforms, with p.uty lesponslbillty and accountability as well established in the local us In the broader Held? Tho dllference now between a Democrat und a Hepubllcan running for n local office, especially for counellmnn, Is frequently only a dllference between personal traits; and the voter hub no means of knowing when bo casts his ballot what piincl pies of city government or what 'de tails of city legislation he Is helping to forwaid or hold up. The lack of party lesponslbillty leaves the voter In the ilruk and gives tho councilman flee lelu to do as he pleases. Not having betn pledged, the lutter i lolates no promises but can, If hu wishes, be us eccentric as a runavvuy horse. He does not have to be consistent. Hu docs not have to pay heed to public opinion. All hu needa Is a personal following In his own ward butllnleut to itnuio his re election und he generally eousttucts I this by metins not lilted to tho light of day. If, on the contraiy, p.uty pudges weiu exueted, they might be broken but the party which should permit them to bo biokeu would have to reckon atterward with public opinion Its leaders would be impelled by mo tives of self Inteiest to prevent an ut ter hiiciluee of public conlldence, Tho Republican or Democrat elected lo council f i oni an outlying ward would not be a political guerilla, at liberty to consult always only his own whims; hu would be part uf tho general paity column, subject to the general lcstralut and liable to party discipline. If hu broke away from a party pledge, tho parly's Interest would calf for his re demption or punishment. If he stood loyal, the party's Interest would urgo iVls continuance or promotion. The tendency In cities to break uway from restraint has brought Into tho field of municipal politics a host of quixotic Independent movements and prettily lubelcd leform etiterpTises which liavo occupied publlo uttontlon very largely but proved absolutely In offectlvo In fact. Tho trouble with them Is that they lack tho cohesive furco of long-established party loyalty to hold them together and hiistuln a machinery for tholr growth. Now York had Its Parkhurst Und Its Mayor Stroms; and today it Is worso In tho inlro than ever. The reform movement spent Its energy In getting born: it had no icservcM of vitality on which to druvv after It hud got Itself Installed In office. Flint It torn down patty lines, and that took so much wotk that none wns avallablo to build up parnianent now ones. Mcrunton Is In dangar of having a similar pxpeileuce. Much good energy Is helng spent to detect and expose evil practices of long stundlng and with considerable suc cess; but, after all, this Is Ineffectual unless It leads to something. Whither docs it lead'.' Not less but mote partisanship Is the need In municipal politics; partisan ship that Is honest and that has an honest purpose, i It begins to look now us though tho Philippines insurrection would soon stay collapsed. Hot Water Propulsion. CON'SIDEKAnLi: Interest at taches among railroad men to the experimental lest recent ly inuilo of tho superheated water motor lor operating standard gauge railroad cats. The idea, in volved In this system of propulsion is tho expansive properties of hot water. Tito water Is hen ted to tho tempera tude of six hundred or more degrees and then kept strongly compressed In reservoirs located beneath the car. When a rmall quantity of tho water Is liberated It immediately assumes tho form of steam, and Is available for use In the cylinders. The projectors of the hot water system have con tended that one tank full of superheat ed water would run an ordinary ratl- load ear at un nverago speed of twenty to thirty miles an hour tor nn entire day. at nn expense veiy much less than at pieseut, and with much more valuable icsults, one of tho principal benefits being the avoidance of smoke and dust. The test took place on Sat in day of last week over the New York and Putnam rallioad from Hlghbrldgo lo Van Corllandt and return, a dis tance of nine miles each way. The out ward urn was made In twenty minutes, and the icturii trip In about tho same time. AW have not neon the figures of the eiigineeis as to thu consumption of water per car mile, although it is alleged that to ho.it enough water to run a cat a nillo would at Now Yoik prices cost only about two cents. Tho test, at all events, developed that tho new motor Is feasible; that It motes. The rest will bo simply a mat ter ot woiklng out details. Mr. Diyun seems to bo eonfionted with the most difficult problem of h!s llfu in the effort to cotivlnco peoplo that ho can leave home occasionally tor any savo the express purpose of talk ing politics. An ambitious vaudeville lady In New York Is to appear as Hagar. Thu fact that the disiobing lad has passed by will doubtless pi event the Infliction ot vaudeville sketches of Adatii'iind Eve. of course Mrs. Currle Nation's pub lication, The Smasher's Mull, will be come popular with the gentlemen who handle baggage on thu platforms of rallioad stu lions.
