ct AM 4 DEMOCRAT"
At the conclusion of Cleveland's speech,
Governor Hill appeared and turning to-
ward him with bow and then the audi
ence, Cleveland said he had now to perform
WORK of usefulness and supererrogation,
but he did not think it necessary to say
more, and he could not say less than that
Governor Hill was there.
As Governor Hill stepped forward to the
reading desk he was greeted by an outburst
of applause similar to and as prolonged as
that with which Mr.. Cleveland was re-
oeived. When the applause had had
to be heard, he stepped to the
front Of the platform and in open
ing said the present campaign involved the
same contest as in recent years, "a contest
between political honesty on the Demo-
cratic side and political hypocrisy upon the
Republican side" He then reviewed the
points and planks comprised in the Demo-
cratic and Republican platforms. Closing
his discussion Of tariff measures he said !:
''Our opponents, notwithstanding the pop
ular uprising of last fall, not only refused TO
repeal the Mckinley bill, but have the sub
lime assurance to assert that the tariff
question is settled. I tell them that no
question can be regarded as settled in this
country until it has been rightly
agitation will continue until justice
is done and that all their efforts to prevent
it will prove unavaillng. The question is
here to stay. Its discussion is demanded
on every hand"
In dealing with the currency question the
speaker said: THE Democratic party has
planted itself firmly and soundly upon the
principle Of bi-metalism. We denounce
the present Sherman silver law, not
merely as authorizing the Coin
age of silver dollar whose value is
constantly fluctuating. but also as a false
pretense. but an artful hindrance of re-
turn to free bimetallic coinage, and as tend
ing only to produce change from gold to
silver monometallism.
1.-THE Sherman law is degradation of the
currency. A prolific mode of making un-
equal dollars is a miserable makeshift and
an unworthy subterfuge. The Democratic
party does not believe that the parity of the
two metals or the equality Of all dol
lars can be attained by any law which
encourages daily speculation in silver;
which regards one metal not as money but
as merchandise; which prescribes how
much the secretary of the treasury shall
buy, and how much he shall count
out to the people; which estab-
fishes not a coin, but paper currency,
4 new-fangled legal tender, each dollar pro-
tected by whatever 81 u grains of silver
may be worth in the Market
Governor Hills speech received general
applause, and after one or two more
speeches the meeting adjourned.

A movement is said to be on foot in Bos-
Ton Tor establishing telephone communica-
ZION between that city and London. This
ha, sprung from series of very long tele-
,l.ggc experiments recently made with en-
ire success by Mr.. Gorham Gray, the in
re..,or Of new character of line to be EN-
Moved in such telephoning. Mr. Gray has
Shown that it is entirely practical to tele
n.5le through the ocean by means of his
.,ya,tfan. Then the cost for cable will be
+,,. less than that of the cable now used in
r..errarhing. and the cable will be much
,.,-..r laid. as il is less than one-tenth the
weight of the old cables. The use ofcopper it
has been found is not necessary, for iron wire
rropcrly shaped, has been proved to be as
r.Gsbe a conductor and its tensile strength
IS greater. About five hundred miles Of
rLis wire is now in use in this country. On
,..e wire, one hundred miles in length, d
,art.5a Of which passes through the water,
telephone reproduction is always clear,
even IN whispers. In England, where tele-
rhouinr IS bad on account of the dampness,
Tie wire has proved signal success. Mir.
Ora. also says that d plan is under consid-
Grafton for laying such cables, and the SUBJ
tect IS now before Mr. John w. Mackay.

NEwGLEGRAPH INVENTION.
Messages Written on q Sentative Plate and
Received at the Other End

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 5-The writing tele-
graph instrument, the latest invention in
the telegraph world, was exhibited at the
North American telegraph company's rooms
in this city this afternoon. The test was
between Chicago and St. Paul, more than
400 miles, and despite unfavorable weather.
the result was successful.
The instrument itself is very simple, the
electrical mechanism being inclosed in a
small case. The only thing visible is roll
OF tape, the same as used on the sensitive
plate, which simply writes the message,
and at the receiving point it is duplicated on
the tape. In this manner pictures can be
traced, maps drawn and notes signed at Z
distance Of thousands of miles. Experts in
charge OF the test are enthusiastic over the
invention, and claim that it will do away
with the Morse system. and can be worked,
they claim, at the rate of forty-aye words
minute. Practical test have been made
in Philadelphis> New York and other places.

Bad Roads Make Poor Farmers.
p,I uaral1

When one compares the railroads of the
country with the highways, he is at loss
the one will tolerate the other Railways
are smooth, permanent, and the cost of
transportation over them has been reduced
to the minimum. Country roads and city
pavements, on the other hand, are crude
and rough, and the expense of energy re-
Quired to transport loads over them is so
great as to seriously affect the profits of in
dustry among the American people.
Two reasons may be advanced to account
for bad highways. One is their great cost.

Deep Water for Texas.
Ricf mond Va.) New South.


Just as it was at the deep water convention
here in Denver three years ago. SO low in re-
gard to deep water at Velasco: the Texas peo-
friends Will Tot admit that the channel ct We
lasco amounts 10 anything, while the people
Who are not interested in Galveston are rejoicing
that deep water has been obtained at any point.
This is the condition in Colorado and all the
country outside of the city OF Galveston and a
few towns in direct communication with her.
Ii Is immaterial to us where the harbor is, so
il is at some point on the gulf where il may be
reached for traffic. Nor need there be any
alarm regarding the means OF getting to IT..
The harbor established, and lines OF railroad
Will be built 10 it Industrial West.
Galveston may find the above an unpleas-
ant fact for contemplation, but the Indus
trial West has stated the plain truth which,
though it may be distastefUl, the Island
City may find it advisable TO consider. The
West does not love Galveston less, but any
deep water port more. All of the North
west is seeking cheap route to the ocean
and the worlds markets, and the sooner
Galveston realizes the fact and takes prompt
action to afford this route the better it will
be for her future. Ii wont do TO belittle
any gulf port, real or prospective, but ii no
greater progress has been made towards
deep water on Galveston bar than is re-
ported, it would be well to take some speedy
action TO obtain deep water in the shortest
possible time. Arkansas is organizing for
this purpose and Velasco claims to have at
tanned its end, so Galveston would be wise
to lose no time IN looking TO its laurels rs
being the seaport of Texas.

AN EXTRAvAGANT WASTE.

Through incompetency of road over
seers, how much money is thrown away
every year in working the roads OF Tar
rant county?
To say that the road overseers are
incompetent as such is no reflection
upon their intelligence. They are
usually farmers, but they are not prac-
teal civil engineers. They are ap-
pointed as road overseers without soli-
citation on their part, and generally
against their desire. They do the best
they can. and that is as much as any
man can do. But lacking the scientific
and practical training Of skillful en-
gineer, they work at disadvantage.
This disadvantage, too, is made more
material they have to work with. Often
they cannot do as they would wish to
do with particular piece of bad road,
but are compelled to put upon it only
so much work as the road-workers OF
that immediate neighborhood can give
to it, and this may be just enough to
tear up the ground with a pillow, leaving
it worse than before it was worked
These things are so well known that
they will not be denied.
The levying of tax for road i'm
provement purposes will give the
county the means of improving its
roads in practical manner, with the
best means obtainable. With the
money raised by this tax, competent
and experienced civil engineer can be
hired to take charge of the work, who
will put every dollar where it will do
the most good. When he gets through
with piece of road it will be road
that will last, without having to be re-
built in the same manner every year.
In the older states it is notorious
fact that public roads that have been
worked" by the neighborhood system
for fifty years are no better now, or but
little better, than they were after the
first working fifty years ago. The
labor that has been put on them, If
computed in money value, would
many times over have constructed the
most substantial macadamized roads,
that would last, with little attention,
through generation. But as the
work that has been put on them has
consisted solely in taking earth from
one place and piling it up in another,
and throwing bridges and making Gull
verts over bitches, which had to be
done again and again each year, these
roads of to-day are no better than they
were when the grandfathers OF the
present generation worked them, and
no worse than they will be when the
grandchildren of the present genera
ton shall put in time on them.
If We would have good and durable
roads, we must have the work done as
work is done everywhere else that is
intended TO be lastlng-bv men who
