AN organized effort IS under way
among farmers to secure from Congress
free mail delivery in country towns.
The Farmers Alliance, Patrons OF Hus-

the matter. Postmaster General Wanna
maker states definitely for the first time

OF revenue more than pays all the in
creased expense. He believes that uni
versal free delivery would therefore be
Self-SuStaining.

THOMAS A. EDISON, the electrical
wizard has just completed two inven-
tions before the wonderful and far
reaching results of which other recent
discoveries are comparatively insigniti-
cant. One is the practical application
OF electricity to great railroad lines, by
which speed far beyond anything
achieved by steam may be attained and
the other the application of electricity
to the propulsion of street cars without
the use OF dangerous, unsightly and in
convenient overhead construction. The
general principle of the street car in
vention is that the electric current
passed down through one line of rails is
picked up by the car, passes through
the motor beneath it, and goes out on
the other side and returns through the
ether line of rails to the central power
station. Mr.. Edison's other discovery
Is to obviate the difficulty met in the at

ta1nmcnt of high speed on the ordinary
steam railways, which is the lnterfer-
cnce of steam. The injection and eN-
haust of the steam into and from the
cylinders is so rapid in its alterations
that beyond a certain limit it is impos-
sible to work. and this is an inherent
defect in all steam propulsion because
of the necessity of the conversion of
rcciprocatins motion into rotary mo-
ton. In the new electric motor this
difficulty vanshes, and the limit of
speed is only that of the endurance of
the machinery and the strength of the
tracks. With this invention of Mr..
Edison a speed of 100 miles or more an
hour will be more easily attained than
the ordinary speed of fifty or sixty miles
an hour

to Whom the Maximum Tariff Is Ap-

TnE French tariff act cannot be pro
mulgated before the end of the present
year, therefore there will not be suili-
Gent time to make it the subject of ne
gotiations between the powers before
the treaties with them elapse. The gov
eminent accordingly will introduce in
the chamber of deputies a bill to author
ize them to establish commercial rcla-
tions with foreign powers during 1892.
The minimum tariff will be applied to
Belgium. Holland, Switzerland. Spain,
Portugal and Sweden, the treaties with
which will expire in February, on con-
dition that those powers grant France
their lowest tariff rates. The minimum
tariff Will also be conceded those ma
tions now having the most favored treat
ment, which includes Great Britain,
Russia, Mexico and Turkey. On the
other hand, the United States, Italy and
Roumania are subject to the maximum
tariff. The government. however, will
demand that the senate vote a 20-franc
rate for American pork instead of the
25-franc rate, so as TO agree to the prop
osition as it has already passed the
chamber of deputies. The senate is
likely to ultimately support the govern
ment demands

HOW TO VOTE.
Features of South Dakota's New Ballot

Law.
A SUMMARY of the new Australian
ballot law which goes into effect in
South Dakota at the November election
will indicate the radical change from
the old style of voting. The tickets for
the elections hereafter will be provided
by the auditors of each county, who
issue to the experimenting judge of
election two hundred tickets for each
fifty voters in the precinct, taking his
receipt therefor. There are no clerks
of election as heretofore, but three
judges are appointed by the county COM
missioners, one of whom is the Supcrn-
tending Judge and who is made respoE-
sibIc for all supplies received by him
from the auditor. Under the new law
voters must procure a ticket from the
Judge of election which has been
officially stamped. He then proceeds to
the booth, where he marks his ticket,
after which he folds itso that the official
stamp may be seen on the outer fold.
In case the elector is unable to read or
write he may call upon one of the
judges of election to assist him, and in
such cases such fact of assistance rem
dered must be ndorscd on the back Of
the ticket, signed by the judge so assist
ing. The ticket to be voted in y ankton
county this fall will be as follows, eX-
cept as to size and style of lettering. 1t
is marked as it should be supposing the
voter intended to vote the republican
tickets
