The failures noted are where fax has

they fly with JOY into the untrodden

confidence of requited love, they bid a
fond and grateful adieu to the life that
is past, and turn with excited hopes

from Christmas gatherings and romps
the summer festivals in bowers or

tits reported that the Republicans of
the county propose to bring forward
VIM. Middlecamp, of SomerS, for the
county SUPPLEMENTARY. A better
choice could not have been made.
William is not only a Republican. but
he is a Stalwart, standing six feet
three in his stockings, and weighing
in the neighborhood of two hundred
and fifty pounds. An intimate ac-
quaintance of number of years has
made the writer feel sure of his ster-
ling worth as teacher. He is a grad
uate in the higher course of the Osh-
kosh Normal School. and professionally
fitted for the important duties of the
Office. He is one of the kind that
wears brighter and better every day,
He is a successful teacher of the county,
and in sympathy with the work as it
stands. Should he be placed in the
field by the Republican Convention,
it will be the pleasure of the TELE-
GRAPH to do all it can to secure his
election.

than the mere money received to OBJ

a successful fair adds to the reputation
of the county; that it influences the
price of real estate; that as matter
of pride every effort should be made
to make a good showing, not only of
the ordinary farm products, cattle.
sheep, pigs, ETC., but of fruits, dairy
products, and vegetables. Mechanics
and manufacturers are offered liberal
inducements to show the best results
of their labor and skill. 1t should be
no less a matter of pride with them
than with the farmers to do this. We
apprehend that nobody will need to
have it urged upon them as a duty to
attend the fair,-that the attractions
in the form of sights, racing and
matches of various kinds are of such a
character that it will be hard to re-

who have an Unborn curiosity to look

good people are invited to be present

the county prosperous will fail to give
his support and encouragement to so
laudable an enterprise. Arrangements
are being made to have every man,

invited to collar and bring along any

The city of Philadelphia will intro
duce the endless wire rope as a substi-
tute for horses in her street railway
business. The experiments that have
been and are being tried by the adyo-
Gates OF this method of propelling the
cars Indicate that it will be a success.
The routes in Philadelphia are I'M
usually long, and the service is so hard
upon horses that the company are CON-
PEELED to either make an advance upon
the present rates or introduce some
cheaper mode of propelling the cars.
The thought of the endless rope is not
new one, but thus far no successful
means have been employed to make it
practical. The SHOWS and ice of Win
ter must be taken into consideration.
and means of securing clear way for
the going and returning rope must be
found. A groove will be made along
the center of the track for the rope to
run in, and only "a narrow slot for the
connection along the upper side will
be made. Many of the streets. are
angling, and to meet and successfully
overcome all the difficulties will be a
work of labor and experience. 1t is a
labor of mastering details With a
central power running all these ropes,
and cars attaching and detaching
themselves at proper places, steady
uniform rate will be some of the adj
vantages to the public, but the princi-
pal one will be cheap fare. In the
present arrangement, when at certain
hours of the day travel becomes i'm
mense, the street car accommodation
cannot be secured during these hours
without keeping large number OF
horses that would be of no service
large part of the time and paying con.
ductors and drivers full pay for an
hour or two's work. With wire rope
the accommodations may be increased
at will with cost in proportion to the
service. The change will undoubtedly
be a vast improvement. The only
question that arises is, is there not
something still better?
