How the Wisconsin Statesman
Made a Bad Break.

How the Wisconsin Statesman
Made a Bad Break.
The Chicago Tribune tells a good
story as illustrative of the politicians
tendency to shake hands. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Col. William F. Villas, of Wisconsin,
was travelling from Madison to Chicago.
Col. Villas has some reason to be
JUDI liant about this time. and perhaps
he has fair reason to believe
that every one in the state of Wiscon-
sin knows him. Perhaps, also, he has
heard of those statesmen and politi-
clans whose wonderful memory for
faces and names made them popular
with the masses. At any rate, it was
apparent that he was going to see how
it worked, and if it was not a success
in one instance it can hardly be said to
be :ine fault OF Col. Villas.
He entered the smoking car three
miles out from Madison and recognized
the man in the first seat behind the
stove. He shook hands with him and
lily. Then he passed on TO the next
His inquiries here were il trifle haZy, but
the man evidently knew Col. Villas and
was BATTERED. That emboldened the
newly made senator to 20 on: in fact.
he was afraid TO stop lest he should Of
fedn some one.
Near the center of the car was an old
man with gray chin WHISPERS, fur cap
and top boots, Who was an interested
spectator Of the proceedings. When

his turn came Villas shook him warmly
by the hand and nsked how everything
was at the farm. The man grunted
something in reply and the colOneI
passed on. After he had left the car
the old man turned to neighbor and
asked:
"Who's that blamed idiot?'
"What?" cried the man addressed.
Don't you know him?"-
Never saw him 6efore;'
For heavens sake, where do you
live?"
Madison
and don't kno " Col. Vilas?'
The old man reused himself little.
80, that's Bill Villas. is it?'' he said.
mo L never saw him before. and what
in thunder does he want to make
pump handle out of my arm for?''
"Why, he's been elected SENATOR"
"Humph." grunted the old man. 81
suppose that's why he asked me about
my farm"
Whats the matter with that?''
Nothing, except that don't own a
farm and never did,"
And so Col. Villas diplomacy went for
naught

THE SPREAD OF ELECTRICITY
Almost 1000 Central Station Plants in
America.

SsOOU central station Plants in
America.
A very interesting publication has
just been put forth by one of the lead
ing electrical companies of this country.
1T is large atlas, showing state by
state the distribution of clectric-l lighting
central stations and of electric railways,
the various plants being marked at each
of the towns and cities in which they
are installed. The grand totals shown
arc one thousand nine hundred and
eighty five central station plants and
two hundred and forty electric railways,
figures which, of course, would be much
larger if brought down to later date. a
vivid idea is given of the great variety
still existing in electrical apparatus by
the fact that in such states as NewYorll
and Pennsylvania no fewer than sixteen
different kinds are running in the sta
tions to produce light and five different
kinds for electric railway work.
The tendency during the last five
years, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, has
been toward a reduction in the number
OF SYSTEMS" but as fundamental pat
ents expire and the industry is more
generally thrown open it is not unlikely
there will be as great variety of dyna-
mos and lamps as there now is of steam
engines or of locomotives. These new
systems, however, will be sold on
basis of ordinary manufacturing profit,
unless radical departures arc made, for
the time when either a charlatan or a
genius could put n System together
and get nine million dollars for it off
hand has gone by. Up to the present
period much of the apparatus has had
somewhere in its selling price the itcrs
of cash or stock given ont to the in
vcntor and of costly experiments that
probably led nowhithcr. In the older
branches of electrical industry much of
that experimental work has been done
forever, and the knowledge of the things
that need not be attempted has be.
come common property.
Mr.. Edison himself has said that he
had three thousand theories about his
incandcscent lamp, and it IS safe betting
that he tried them all. 1t is said that
when the first big electric railway was
tried at Rici mond, at least one hundred
UNDERMINING" trollcys were put to
test in Il few brief weeks, to say nothing
of the now forms of gear, new styles of
brushes, new lightning arrcstcrs, new
switches and other details. In work of
that nature money goes like water. but
there is no help for it; and in due time
there is the reward, for had there been
no Richmond in 1883 there would ccr-
tainly have been no atlas il 180i with
two hundred and forty electric roads.
two hundred of which. with nearly an
other hundred now building dating
from that cventful victory IN great
new industry.

No man in The United States deserves
more or better from the Democracy than
DAVID BENNETT Hill. His services to the
party and his capacity for leadership en-
title him to the highest place; and We
think he ought to be nominated and elected
to the Presidency. Entertaining this
view, with the most cordial friend
ship for him and the sincerest desire
that no may achieve the summit Of
his ambition. we have deprecated the &C
ceptance Of the Senntorship on his part, be-
CAUSE OF the apprehension that 1t would GER
tainly prevent him from becoming Prcsi-
dent. This apprehension is an intellectual
conviction opposed to what we wish to be-
lieve; and IL 1t shall prove to be unfounded,
We shall indeed rejoice. But we have not
deemed It the part Of friend to withhold
the frank expression o! our opinion ss to the
inexpedicncy Of his accepting tho senat'r-
chip 60 long as the question was open.
But now that Governor Hill has been
eleeted Senator. We shall not withhold any
exertion to make him the Democratic can.
