The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-06-23

The gnats gathered together, and there
was a mighty stir among them. They
refused to acknowledge this new king.
They drew up a bill of Indictment
against him. Their spokesman drew
nigh to the assembly, and, speaking
for his fellow gnats, he arraigned the
king-elect onthef Observation-Disclosures
o THEIR STYLE.
First, we object to this new king be-
cause he is not our style. His clothes
r not cut according to our pattern.
He does not part his hair as we do. We
are ~high-fyers; he walks onthe earth
after the manner of men. We do not
like him. He is not our style.
A HEAD TALLER.
Second, we object because he is not
our size. He is too large. We feel
crushed when we approach him. We
object to the contrast. We feel humil-
lated in the contrast. We do not desire
such a king.
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.
Third, we object to this ruler
because his rule would mean taxation
without representation. Our tribe will
be forgotten in his administration. We
will have our little colonies, it is true;
but in the great assemblies, with this
king presiding, our voice will not have
due weight.
BIG ENOUGH WITHOUT
Fourth, we object to this ruler be-
cause he is big enough without an
office. Offices were made for small
folks. He does not need an Office.
We do.
DON'T WANT TO BE sNUFFED.
Fifth, we object because of the gen
eraI significance of such a choice. 1t
would imply that the day of small
things is going. If the day of small
things go, we must go. We object.
The masses have raised a great shout
over the elevation of this new mon
arch. They will hear his voice, they
will follow after him, he will be their
leader; he will refuse to listen to the
song of a gnat. We have played a
great part in the history of the world
thus far. We have played a large part
in the history of the world, and though
we are very small, we object to being
thus snuffed out. We object vigor-
ously, because the masses who have
shouted seem to understand the signifi-
canoe of this change of policy. There
fore we must fight. 1t is a battle for
life.
THE Ion SMILES.
And marvellous to relate, there were
many who listened with pleasure to the
speech of the great gnat, who spoke
for the smaller gnats, and they rose
up and made ugly faces at the lion.
They sun and buzzed about him, and
with a great shout they set upon him
and sought to destroy him. But the
lion only smiled, blinked his great
round eyes, and assembled the throne
in Cilonon

tentative plan, by which 10 in
dictate that the departments OF
the government, except the navy. will
be provided for under one roof, has
been made. These departments, to-
gether with the Smithsonian institu-
ton and the fish commission, will be
grouped about a central court of oc-
tagonal form. with the main entrance
on the lake front. The appropriation
for the building is not large enough TO
permit of elaborate architecture or the
indulgence in n taste for much orna-
m~entation.
The most popular feature Of the ex-
hibition will be the exhibit of the navy
department. Capt II. W. Meade. 4. s.

the navy would have a large and very
interesting contribution to make To the
exposition IL would be desirable to pre-

The suggestion met with prompt APP

hibit of the navy department in a hall

windows light the interior, balconies
provide interesting outlooks for visit
ors, and ut the top of the tower an ex-
tensive view of the surroundings and a
mid-air realization may be had. A
spacious buffet, serving light refresh

about midway will be the tower Curl

novel display of the application of metal

Scarcely less interesting is the sug-
gestion offered by 0berlin Smith, of
Bridgeton, n. j., who has. submitted
designs for one of the most unique
structures ever proposed. II is for a
mammoth tower, with n huge oscillat-
ing beam, from the ends of which
would be suspended two big globes, in
which visitors would be admitted and
raised eleven hundred feet above the
ground. The beam would be ON the
principle OF u see. saw, and would be.

with their floors horizontal by being
ballasted at the bottom, but IL addition
al security was thought desirable a sys-
tenn of wire rope cables, extending from
one globe 10 the other, inside the beam,
could easily be arranged to keep their
vertical axes In absolute paralielism
with the vertical axis of the tower.
The beam would probably be moved by
two rows of hydraulic cylinders, in
side and near the top of the tower, their
pistons either pulling by means of wire
ropes upon n drum mounted upon the
axis of the beam, or by racks upon
their pistons meshing into spur gears
upon the same. The machinery re-
quired would thus be very much more
simple than in the three systems of
elevators used in the Eifel tower. and
the motion of the beam would be en-
tirely controlled by one or two valves
in n water pipe running from the
ground up TO the cylinders. II could be
made to work automatically. so as to
prevent any undue speed being at
tanned by the beam. II il was thought
best TO make the tower and statue only

the beam could be S % designed as to be
taken down Mt a proper interval after
the close of the exposition and sold, to
be put together again as u pair of
bridge trusses in some appropriate stu
alton, where they would make a bridge
of beautiful design.
