DANGEROUS. The following, which we
find in an exchange paper, is worthy a
special notice in this place:
DAYTON, O., March 14.-Gilbert Bur
rows, of this city, was the recipient yes
terday of an electrical shock over a tele-
phone wire that nearly proved fatal He
was about to answer ring from the in
strument and took hold of the telephone.
when with sharp cry of pain he stag
gered backward, and despite his strug-
giles he could not let go the phone, and
was held within its electrical embrace
until his cries brought assistance and the
telephone attachment was broken from
its fastenings. Burrows fell to the floor
in an insensible condition as the result
of reaction from the nervous shock. He
is still under the care of physicians, and
is Frustrated. He remembers that when
be approached the instrument blush
glow OF flame appeared about the metal
on the telephone. Investigation by the
superintendent showed that the telephone
was crossed with the large incandescent
light wires.

The bill providing for the Nicaragua
canal, which has passed the Senate, re-
quires that a majority of the directors OF
the company shall always be citizens Of
the United States, whereupon the Phila-
delphia Inquirer says that there is now
no good reason why it should not be
promptly made a law. The Inquirer
should remember that a citizen is one
thing and a resident another. A citizen
of the United States may live in foreign
lands for years without losing his citi-
zenship. The bill should provide that q
majority of the directors shall be citi-
zens and residents of the United States.

When vessels or timbers sink TO great
depths IN the ocean the pressure is so
great that the water is by this means
forced into the pores, and the wood be-
comes too heavy TO rise again. 1t is the
fact OF this same pressure that makes il
possible for divers to descend to any
great depth.

ordered that the contestants in case just decided shall personally pay the costs, and that no portion of such costs shall fall on the proponents of the will. The reason for the decision is that the contestipg proceedings were not taken in good faith; that all the contestants could justly desire or be entitled to know could have been ascertained if they had attended on the return of the citation and exercised their legal privilege by obtain ing leave to cross-examine the subscribing witnesses. Surrogate Ransom avails himself of the opportunity while making this deci- sion to express his determination to discour- age by all means in his power the practice of contesting wills without anys real cause, in the hope of forcing some recognition of fan cied rights or with the object ofN groping about to discover something that may turn out to the contestants advantage.
 Those who are inclined to think there isn't much difference between the attitude of the two great parties toward protection should pay attention to these words of the Washing ton Post, the Democratic organ at the eapi- stal: It is not fight between two protection parties about the height of the protection fence in some places. It is not quarrel be- tween two sincere Baptist brethren, both ad- vocating immersion as matter of course, but one contending for a deeper pool than the other deems necessary. On our platform we are compelled to contend for revenue tariff as opposed to tariff for protection-for revenue tariff as opposed to the monstrous doctrine that all the people should be taxed to put money into the coffers of few. And since our platform is accepted by the entire country as the real platform of this campaign since hypocrisy is of no earthly use and only makes the Democratic party appear ridieu- lous, not to say contemptible, we invite and advise all honest Democrats to stand with.

Medern Armies.

L
 At a meeting of the members of the Royal United Service Institution held yesterday a paper was read by Col. H. M. Hozier on the equipment and transport of modern armies.
 Col. Hozier called attention to the present attitude of foreign nations, with large bodies of cavalry watching each other on each side of frontier lines. In any future war he be- lieyed that there would be an increased num- Der of engagements between cavalry, and that by their means much damage would be done at an early period of any war to roads and railways But these cavalry engage ments would never be decisive of the war, and victory would depend upon which side would be able to bring up infantry with the transportation. There were now everywhere in foreign lands fortresses commanding the lines of railways, and at the first opening of war upon the Continent no doubt dash would be made at these fortresses to prevent them being victualled for any heightened period They must be prepared to strike quick blows, and within short time of the outbreak of hostilities. They must reduce the weight to be carried by every soldier and by every horse; they ought not to handicap the soldiers by making them carry enormous weights Next, they must have very efi- cisnt railway corps, able to repair railways in |, they were not wanted. Thirdly, they must do without camp equipment and tents, because they would not be able to carry them in the future.
 The whole face of the country everywhere in Europe had changed in. the seventy-five years which had elapsed since the last great war, and there was no longer the necessity for such measures to encamp the fighting men as formerly were absolutely necessary. He advocated the soldiers wearing 8 gray dress in time of war. The kit must be re- duced in weight to about thirty eight pounds, instead of fifty pounds, which 1t was at present. Men should carry not more than thirty rounds of ammunition at time. Favor had been shown to taking infantry into action on horseback, but then one man out of every four would be required to hold the horses, and he recommended the sub stitution of Irish cars-each car drawn by four horses, and carrying fifteen armed men. With regard to the arms carried by a cavalry soldier. he recommended that triangular sword should be substituted for the present form, because in fighting man always did moro damage by thrusting than by cutting, and that pistol should be substituted \ for a carhine. The revolver, he thought, was not useful weapon for soldier | to carry. The weight which the horse ought to carry should be frightened as far as possible.

SOME SOUND DoCTRINE.

Psa ?. SOME SOUND DOCTRINE.
 Itis said that Congressman Mckinley, of Ohio, is going to prepare the paatform which will be adopted at Chicago, and he also figures as one of the sidark horses.n Hegwill put sound doctrine into the platform. In a recent speech he said concerning the tariff: What is protective tariffa It is tariff up- on foreign imports so adjusted as to secure the necessary revenue, and judiciously i'm posed upon those foreign products the like of which are produced at home or the like of which we are capable of producing at home. It imposes the duty upon the eompeting foreign product; it makes it bear the burden of duty, and, as far as possible, 1uxuries only excepted, permits the non competing foreign product to come in free of duty. Articles of common use. comfort and necessity which we cannot produce here it sends to the peo- pie untaxed and free from custom house ex- actions. Tea, coffee, spices and drugs are such articles, and under our system are upon the free list. It says to our foreign compet- itor, if you want to bring your merchandise here, your farm products here, your coal and iron ore, your wool, your salt, your pottery, your glass, your cottons and woolens, and sell alongside our products in our markets, we will make your product bear duty; in effect, pay for the privilege of doing it.
 On another occasion Major Mckinley thus spoke: The hope of the country is in the
 ballot. The future, and, as I conceive, the
 welfare and progress of the republic, the future condition of the wage earners, depend
 upon the issue to be settled in November. Americans, native born and naturalized, ,who love their country must be on guard on that day of supreme concern; it is their duty, their one great opportunity. Parties must be suDordipated to the great interests of the masses. No party necessity is great enough to force it's adherents against its country's best interests. care not what in the future l may be the party's name which stands for this system, which stands for the people, will follow it's flag under whatever designa- tion or leadership, because it is my country's flag and represents its greatness and it's glory.
 A man who has such ideas as these and can present them in this way is well fitted to make platform. for the Republican party or to take the chief place upon it.
