The plan shows total of 2l47 wires, or
but seventy-eight less than here found.
That is to say. the cables have very nearly a
factor of safety o. five when the whole load
is properly divided between them, and when
no load is supposed to be carried by the
stays.
The stays.-A part Of the live or dead
load is always carried by the stays, when
the bridge is fully loaded. They also serve
to prevent distortion when the bridge is
loaded unsymmetrically. The stays which
extend farthest from the piers should be
larger than those attached to sleeper an
gle, whereas those shown are all the same
size. In the design submitted, which has
no stifening truss, the onl, means of pre-
venting distortion from unsymmetrical
loads, are the stays and the diagonal wire
bracing. The effect of these braces can
hardy be computed, and since We have
never seen bridge in which they were en-
ployed, we cannot offer an opinion on the
d gree of stiffness they will furnish. That
it viii be considerable cannot be denied,
but We cannot say how much. Therefore
we cannot predict Just how much of the
unsymmetrical load will have to be carried
by the stays. We would recommend, how
ever, that the second and tn I'd stays from
the tower be increased to say fifty to 100
wires respectively on the outside, and to
sixty and 100 wires respectively at the
center.
The towers.-The vertical load on each
side tower is 81 coo pounds, and on the mid
die towers, $4,000 pounds. We think all

AN OCCULT POWER.
Wonderful Predictions of Young Girl
Iowa-Her Prophesies
Fulfilled.
Special to the Gazette.


HAMBURG. Iowa, Nov. 6.-There is girl
in this neighborhood whose wonderful pre-
dictions and their notifications are the talk
of the whole county. The girl is Laura
Speed, and she is but fourteen years old.
She first showed her power about a year
ago when she came down to breakfast and
said that Mrs. Jones was going to die be-
fore night.
Mrs. Jones was neighbor who lived half
mile from the Speeds. She was in good
health the day before, aad when the girl
was asked why she said such things she
said she did not know but that something
said so to her, That day Mrs. Jones was
killed in runaway accident. This caused
much talk and the girl said she could not
account for what she said as she was awake
OF the time when it seemed as if something
said in her ear that Mrs. Jones would die.
From that time to the present Laura has
| made several predictions and each one has
come to pass. Her most pronounced pre-
diction was made on the 18th Of last Sep
TENDER, when she said that many children
would die soon. Within week malignant
diptheria broke out and became so yirulent
that the schools We're closed. Within two
weeks Of the prediction seven children had
died in the town and neighboring country.
On the morning before the recent earth
quake she said, I'VE are going to get a
shaking up" She could not explain what
she mean, but said that was what she had
been told. That night the earthquake full
filed her prophesy. Her latest prediction
is one which has caused much uneasiness
among those who have heard of her former
sayings and'have noted their truth, for she
says that much trouble is coming to every
body living in this part of the country. She
does not know what the trouble is or when
it will come, but says that it will be soon.
The girl is perfectly healthy child, and is
in no way given to hysteria. She says she
is always awake when she receives the in
formation, and it il just as if some one
spoke it in her cam

1t was based on the idea that it was
for the best interest Of the people for
the government to encourage the pro-
duction of gold and silver, by Civ
ing them free coinage and the larg-
est possible use of money. Wash
ington, Hamilton and jefferson never
thought of converting government
into brokers' Office, for the purchase
Of silver and gold. They believed
that the province Of the government
was to ''coin" money, not to specul
ate in silver or gold. 1t remained to
those later days to annul the wisdom
of Washington and Jeetfrson by
decentralization. Gold is the money
of kings, of banks and the rich; sill
yer is the money Of the people, the
great consuming classes the world
over, and thei, ri ghts, their needs and
their currency cannot, and should
not, be ignored. There is not gold
enough in all the world on which to
do the business Of the world.
AS business and population in
crease must currency be increased.
Then let that increase be the product
Of labor represented alike in gold
and silver money. Free coinage is
but re-inactment Of wise and we'll
tried law. Come it must, and come
it will, for the people demand it.

DIR. Briggs and the Bible.

'Although there are errors in the BIZ
ble,'' said the Rev. DR.. Briggs at the
Presbyterian Church of the Covenant last
Sunday evening, ''thev are wholly in 0 tn
er matters besides faith and practice and
hence minister who subscribes at his
ordination to the statement'that the Bible
is ''the only infallible rule of faith and
practice" may consistently teach its fall
libility In those stother matters" The
errors which have been found, he further
explained, stare not errors Of deceit, but
OF inadvertence, not of falsehood, but of
lack of knowledge -
This means that the errors of the Bible
concern matters which are within the
possibility of human knowledge, and that
its infallibiity is only in matters beyond
the possibility OF demonstration, which
could only be made known to men by a
revelation from God Himself Where it
appeals to faith alone it is infallible, ac:-
-eording to DR. Briggs; but where it ap-
peals TO the understanding merely it is liza
BILE to human inadvertence ard lack of
hHoHICARSs
In other words, when the bible tells
him of matters of which neither he nor
ANY other man can know, he says that
he believes it, but when it conflicts with
his knowledge he rejects its authority and
denies its infallibility. 1t is true when
its error cannot be proved, but when it
deals with facts susceptible of proof it
may go astray like any other production
of the human intellect. This is not doc
trine which tends to conserve the old yen-
Grafton for the Scriptures as ''the Word
of God. the only infallibie rule of failh
and practice" 1t the bible is misleading
as to matters within the knowledge of DR..
Briggs, men are likely TO question its
infallibility as to those that are beyond
his understanding. At any rate, they
may say that he ., as liable to error in
separating the falible from the infallible

that every man in the party who
wants to call a halt on the campaign

porters creates feeling of alarm. This
feeling may have no foundation in fact.

Briggs left it tor every individual to de-

ferred the decision of the question of its
Divine authority to the human reason;
for if the reason may criticise some of its
statements as manifestly the errors OF ig-

of every part of it, and treat the whole as
human production merely. How can
he expect people to believe in the absolute
Divine authority of Book which, as he

The future is fraught with so much
of peril to the Democratic party that
it is worse than folly not to recognize
that fact and prepare for it. The
events of the past year have created
feeling of uneas1ness in the minds of
the party at heart. First came the
Cleveland letter at a most inoppOrtune
moment; then the refusal of Governor
Campbell, in the Ohio campaign, to
stand upon the platform made for him
by the Democracy of his state, in
which be was indirectly aided and
abetted by Mr.. Mills; and now, last of
all, comes the defeat of Mr.. Mills him.

except Cleveland, has stood for the
abolition of the imperial system of
taxation under which the people are
groaning. It looks as if history might
nti-slavery elements in the old .Whig
party tore it to pieces. Is the pluto
cratic element on the inside of the
Democratic party going to be permit
| ted to do the same for it? There can
be no longer any doubt that it is the
intention of this contingent to turn
| back the hand on the dial-plate of re-
form, or wreck the party. Shall these
men be allowed to work their will, or
shall they be put outside of the breast
works? So far, they have played "a
shrewd game. They have made every
effort to set Free Coinage men and
Tariff Reformers by the ears, and, as
this has not succeeded to their liking,
are now seeking to terrorize the South
with the specter of neg domination,
in order that that issue ms take the
place of and retire both the tariff and
coinage issues. Can the people of the
Mississippi Valley afford this? There
seems to be an understanding between
the money power in both parties about
| this.
We do not need to act hastily, but
eternal vigilance is the price of liberty

1t may develop that Hon. Sam
Byrns has not so widely misrepre-
sented his constituents, after all. II
is claimed for Mr.. Crisp that he is
equally sound on the silver question
as on the tariff reform issue, and II
this is a fact, the free silver element,
which, in this section of the country
is co-eXteusive with the Democratic
party itself, can hail his election to
the speakership as signal victory
for them CentretjLle Reformer.
AW, indeed! We presume, then,
that German, BrieS the New York
San, and Tammany-all monometal-
lists and protectionists-we presume
that they all advocated and voted for
Crisp because Mills was not sound on
the silver question. For the RcfornaeT
to intimate that Mills wasn't sound on
any Democratic question, and that
therefore Hon. Sam. Byrns could not
and vote for him, is to tell the
Democrats of the Tenth District that
they are lot of id fools who have
been fortunate in securing a represen-
tative firm enough to thwart their de-
sires where his superior wisdom shall
so dictate. 1t may be treason in us to
question the quality of that wisdom,
but we can't help it.

The Knights of Labor, at their

ment to their constitution thoroughly
indorsing compulsory education. The
K. of L. may, perhaps, at the end of
a forty-years' journey through the
wilderness of Capitalization and gov
ermental tin-godism, emerge into the
open of Tom. Jefferson's notion of
government; but at present they are
in their ideas best suited to the condi-
tions surrounding the despotisms of
the Old World. No American free
man worthy his birthright would
barter it for "edUcation" any more
than he would for the dollars and

end of the education of these latter
