HEADED LIKE A BIRDS BILL.

THE shape of my cars is such that
they will cut the air like keen knife
would old cheese. The front of the first
car of my train will have a nozzle or
front like the bill of bird. Naturalists
are aware that the bill of bird is as ne
cessary to it in flying as its wings. Cut
the bill off and it could not fly except
at slow and uncertain pace. The
bill of bird cleaves or pierces the air
in a manner that causes no resistance
by that element to the flying biped.
II intend to harness Niagara Falls,
manufacture the electric current there,
and send it down by feed wires to the
main line. 1 will also use the falls on
the Mississippi River between St. Paul
and Minneapolis to generate another
current, which, will the Niagara Falls
current, will run the trains to Denver.
The current for sending the trains to
San Francisco is to be made at one
of the immense falls in the Yellowstone
Park.

Iestly III the defeat of the nomination
OF Grover Cleveland for the Presi-

manage him. As between the two
great parties he stands for those meas
ures and politics as to which there is
irreconciliable disagreement, and upon
which his own party is united, The
question of Free Coinage runs its line
cleavage through both parties. But
on the issue of Tariff Reform the lines
are strictly drawn and of Tariff Re.
form Mr.. Cleveland is a pioneer and a
prophet. If the party shall maintain
tain its attitude on this question Cleve-
land will be its logical candidate.
Knowing this, it is sought to defeat
him by shifting the ground of contest
and dragging in an irrelevant issue
upon which the Democracy are disa-
greed.
There is but one way to defeat this
game. From henceforth the standard
of Tariff Reform and Honest Money
must be the Democratic battle-cry.
Following this flag the party could
