Ingenious Street SweeDer.

Many cities from New York down
ward, which have not yet solved the
problem of cleaning their streets well
and cheaply, would profit greatly by an
examination into the working of a ma-
chine that has been introduced into
Germany for picking up street sweep
ings. This machine, which is drawn
by horses, takes up in its forward mo-
ton the moist street debris or mud
which has been deposited in streaks by
the preceding sweeper. The frame of
che machine carries suspended from the
rear axle, an iron trough OF half cyin-
drical shape, about four feet in length
and nearly three feet wide. At the in
side of the rear wheel an open paddle
wheel ~ attached, which takes up the
sweepipgs and drops them into the
trough. A small plow at the front
serves to narrow the strip of sweepings,
which may possibly have been scattered
somewhat by the hoofs of the horses
drawing the machine. When the
trough is filed it can be instantly
dumped at any required spot by means
of crank and chain arrangement. 1t
g stated that this machine, which is
easily drawn by two horses and man.
aged by one man, can remove from four
TO six miles of double rows of sweepings
in day.

+Ihe Last Crop to Plant

Will be put in on next Tuesday
which is the crop of ballots. And
as you SOW so shall you reap. When
the old seed fails to produce good
results the wise farmer and thrifty
agriculturist changes his seed. What
is good practice in farming ought to
work equally well in government
affairs. The farmers have been
planting democrat and republican
ballots for quarter of century and
in place of gathering sound political
grain they have secured crop of
cheat. Farmers and all who depend
on the products of the farm for q
livelihood have steadily grown poor.
err in purse by reaping yearly a crop
of cheat from their political sowing
After this long experience is it not
time. aye, past time, to change the
seed? Your tariff and anti tariff
planting has produced only cheat.
Would it not be sound business to
try a change? You all know you
cannot do worse with every prospect
of gain iu the future by casting
Peoples party ticket on Tuesday
next. 1t will open the way for a
state and county reform next year,
if no direct results are accomplished
this present year. If a good strong
vote is thrown for the Independent
dent ticket at this election it will
give the people heart to rally next
fall and break the political rings
which make Maryland the worse
governed state in the nation. There
is democratic and republican ring
in every county which have no other
object in view than to grab and
pocket the taxes of county state
and nation. The big rings of both
parties which look after national
taxes have headquarters in Baltimore.
The democratic ring looks after the
state patronage also. The branch
rings of the same party which form
round the court houses in each
county are there to set up candidates
whose election directs the county
taxes and collateral perquisites into
their pockets. They manipulate the
primaries and get their select tools
into county convention who form
ticket which they can manipulate
and then the taxpaying farmers find
themselves powerlees. This game
has been going on for years. Do
you farmers and other folks who
have no expectation or wish to live
out of the taxes want it stopped?
Then cast your votes for the Peoples
party ticket next Tuesday and put
yourselves in a position where you
will be able next fall to make your
power and votes count. Do you see
the cat?

Strength of the Peoples Party in the
West,

N. A. Dunning at meeting in Baltimore
on Tuesday night read letter from Nation
al Secretary Thaubeneck of the Peoples
party, published in Wednesdays american,
which said:
THE democrats have taken their electors
ont Of Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming,
Idaho, Oregon, North and South Dakota,
and four in Minnesota. They also intend TO
take their electors out of Montana, Washing
ton and Nebraska, and the other five in
Minnesota. That is, have notice to that
effect, and cannot say positively. If they
would all come out that wonld give us
| twelve states in the Northwest which !
| think | can bank on. The Democratic
State Committee o. Iowa and California are
also in session, and contemplate taking ;helr
electors out of those states. That would
| leave us cleaa field for every thing west OF
the Mississippi river that heretofore have
been Republican states. The Republican
Congressional Committee at Washington
concede us the balance of power in the next
lower house Of Congress. There is no doubt
in my mind at all but what we will have the
balance of power in the next United States
Senate. The Senate is Republican by six
votes. We will elect a senator in Kansas,
Nebraska, Nevada, North and South Da.
kota, Minnesota, and, possibly in Idaho,
| Wyoming and Montana. These will all
come out of the Republican column.
I'VE also have 8 good chance in Tennessee
and Indiana. In Indiana we hope to hold
the balance of power. The net proceeds Of
this campaign will be the number of con.
gressmen and United States senators we
elect TO the Ffty-third Congress. In addi
lion 10 that we will elect our state ticket in
Kansas, Nebrask, North and South Dakota
Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Minnesota, and
exceedingly good reports come from Texas
and North Carolina. | send this letter SC
you can contradict any stories that may be
circulated in regard to our pirty, especially
in the Northwest. There is no fusion in
that section whatever, as has been commonly
claimed. We have not fused on single
eiector or congressman anywhere. 1t has
simply been an unconditional surrender on
the part of the Democrats. They simply
haye taken their candidates out OF the field
and are supporting u.s.

The farmers of Kansas raised 60.
100000 bushels of wheat this year
on which they are losing 40 cents a
husbel on account of the demonetiza.
ton of silver in this country. But
bow can it be shown that the farmers
suffer such heavy loss? You ask
Very easily. The English silver
spectators purchase so much of our
silver as they require for their pur-
pose and dispose of it in India at
gold prices in paying for wheat.
That wheat is landed in Liverpool
at cost to the India grain traders
at gold cost less 40 per cent. That
sets the price of our surplus wheat
and in turn the surplus or imported
grain fixes the price of wheat in the
United States. See }!

BOTH PLANT AND MINERAL.
The Novel Experiment With the Stalk o.
the Securing Rush.

The Novel Experiment With the Stalk OF
the Securing e. Rush.
The scouring-rush (Equisetem HE
male) is an interesting plant which has
been put to practical use. In olden
times its hollow, finty stems were in
great repute for kitchen cleaning pur-
poses. The stems are hollow and easily
separated at the joints.
If one would satisfy himself as to the
peculiar property which first suggested
the use Of this rush for securing pur-
poses he has only to draw a joint across
the edge of his teeth to find il like a
file William Hamilton Gibson shows
us, moreover, in SHARP Eyes, way
to pretty chemical experiment with it.
II we take small vial of nitric acid
and immerse any ordinary leaf therein
we shall quickly see it dissolve, liter
ally eaten up by the acid. But what does
the securing rush do under such cir
cumstances =?
Immediately upon its introduction to
the acid the sizzling process begins
the green pulp of the stem is gradually
consumed, the tube, however, still re-
tanning its shape, becoming paler and
paler in color, until, after a few hours,
our specimen is transformed into puro
white alabaster-like column, which de-
fies any further attack from the acid.
Upon taking il from the vial and
washing it carefully in running water
we hold in our hands beautiful tube
of pure, CLASSY flint, or slick, an object
of great microscopic beauty of con-
struction.
Our securing rush is no longer veg
etable, but mineral, and in observing
its skeleton of stone we easily under
stand the secret of its utility as scour-
ing brush.
