a sACRRD WHITE ELEPHANT.

SACRED WHITE ELEPHANT.
The courteous Register admits, "for the
sake of argument but for no other reason !"
that the Republican party is the party of
progress. Then, perhaps also for the sake
of argument, it hints that even If the
Democratic party has not always been the
party of progress it has changed, and is
something quite different from what it was
before Cleveland's message of 1897. Not
to be outdone in courtesy by our neighbor,
we will admit that the Democratic party
has changed some. though when we see 1t
trying to carry the country back to wild
cat money and the free trade policy of the
'busted" Confederaoy, We feel bound to
assert that this is not indicative of party
Of progress, and that whatever change there
may seem to be is more of change In ap-
pearance than in reality. The leopard cannot
change its spots, the Ethiopian cannot
change his skin, and the Tammany tiger
cannot change its stripes. But there is
such thing as paint, and it is used both
to beautify and conceal. Our courteous
neighbor doubtless we'll remembers the
sacred white elephant from Burmah which
created such a stir a few years ago. 1t
had had its rough hide scraped and sand
papered and it had been carefully painted.
1t was waited on by distinguished Burmese
from Hester street, New York. 1t ate to
the sound of sweet music. was protected
from flies by alleged priests who waved
gorgeous fans around it, and its sacred
droppings were reverently removed on
sacred silver shovels. But when the ss-
credness of that sacred white elephant
could no longer be made profitable it dis
appeared very suddenly, the paint came
off, the hide grew rough, and the ami
NAL became again a common, dingy
elephant. Just now the Democratic
party is posing as sacred white elephant,
and all that can be done is being done to
carry on the fraud. Its appearance in
the political circus has been secured at
great expense, one of the recent items
being the Over Billion Congress. 1t has
been carefully scraped and painted, and
its managers say that it has always been
sacred and white. Its attendants are
very distinguished natives of its own
country, including many cultured college
professors who know sacred white ele-
phant when they see one. And on its
sacred back sits in solemn state its own
high priest and stuffed prophet, Grover
Cleveland.
By and by, when it will no longer pay
to look white and sacred, the paint will
wear off, the music and the worship will
cease, the college professors will sign no
more guarantees of sacredness, and the
animal will revert to its original dingi-
ness. Sacred white elephants, either in
| political or other circuses, are frauds.

ONE HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.
Those who have been talking about con-
Meeting St. Louis and Chicago with an
electric railroad on which cars will run at
the rate of one hundred miles an hour are
at work as if they mean business. 1t is
asserted that there is no principle involved
in the scheme which has not stood the test
of experience. The road will bs operated
by alternating currents of electricity, the
multiphase motors being 30 constructed
that no commutators or brushes are needed,
and made water and fire proof. The over
head system, with central poles and Gross
arms, will be used, trolley wire running
along the side of the car. The cars will
weigh only fifteen tons. and the power
will be transmitted over a ffty-fve-mile
circuit. That such transmission is posi-
BILE was shown at the Frankfurt exhibition.
There electric power was transmitted long
distances efficiently and economically, no
less than 800 horsepower being transmit
ted 10S miles with loss of only rs per
cent. Furthermore, there is nothing i'm
practicable in maintaining a speed of 100
miles an hour. A recent experiment in
Maryland showed that An electric locomo-
tive Weighing two and one-half tons could
run around a circular track of two and
one-half miles at a rate of 115 miles an
hour without derailment.
The oars used on the Chicago apd St.
Louis road are to be only nine feet from
the top to the rail, tn us bringing the CEN
ter of gravity so low as to make derailment
an impossibility. But this will not be the
sole precaution taken to insure safety. In
the first place, the new road is to be
built absolutely without grade Cross
ings. The roads are to Cross it by
overhead bridges, and the new line
itself will CROSS, all railroads by means
of similar structures. Two tracks for
through traffic are to be laid down at first,
although ultimately two additional tracks
for local traffic will be constructed. The
block system to be employed is novel
one. The line will be divided into twenty
| five sections of ten miles each. The cars
will run one section apart, and as the
current will be shut off from the interme-
diate section, rear collisions will be impos-
sible, so far as can now be eeen.
It will take some time to convince peo-
| pie that 1t is safe to ride one hundred
miles an hour.

The new tax upon bicycles In France
will be 50. AS there are about 225, 900 cy-
clists, the revenue will be about $3.50, 900.
Cycles used for business, such as those
employed by street messengers. pay half
duty. Those in the army and the Govern

as rule, do not object to the tax. for the
reason that they expect some special legis

A railroad with gauge of but twenty

Carolina. 1t is to run from Hot Springs,
near the Tennessee border, to Laurel river,
distance of twenty-four miles. Its
course is through a very mountainous
country, touching also fine farming sec

ton is to get out the timber on about
70, 900 acres of land. A type of mogul
engine is being built for the little road.
There is a railroad of the same small
gauge now being operated in Maine, and
one or two in Western States.

touched with almost reverend fingers those
exquisite garments.
There was one of pink gauze, lightly en-
broidered with pink dots. The skirt was
draped up to some little extent and bor-
dered at the root with two broad bands of
roses, separated by tine plating OF PINK
chiffon. The bodice was the pretty part OF
it, however, for over q plating of chiffon
which formed a berthe were laid two thick
rows of the same pink roses. One lay right
against the low-cut neck, the other little
below. but curving up on each side. hnaiiy
touched the upper one on the shoulder, SO
that the plating could fall loosely. Then
over the roses. starting at the top band
and running down to the waist. were two
full rows of plain chiffon, which wIdened
as they fell. and eventually disappeared
under the arms, melting into the fuliness
of the waist itself. This little corselet was
the chief charm of the dress. and added
the youthful appearance necessary, for
very young girl was to wear 1t.
Blossoms seem to grow in popularity on

them for little while at the beginning of

bon. black lace. black velvet and jet, and
all these various materials were combined
in most pleasing fashion. The pale green
silk predominated, of course. The black
lace was observed in three little flounces
at the feet. in deep tounces below the
shoulder puffs, and in another deep fiounce
around the decollete corsage. the white
chiffon formed ruche above the black
rutfies on the skirt, finely gathered

The white ribbon joined the green rib

right arm, in still one more on the right
side of the bodice, and finally in one OF
great length at the left side, falling from
the velvet.

The flare at the shoulders and the flare at

more strongly by the close: clasping velvet
belt. Quaint? Yes, it is indeed. And
pretty? think SO. Do not you?
Here's a tasteful visiting gown, il you

the material for the iront part of the
dress; but the entire back, skirt and
