ProGress in Electricitx.

It is not unlikely that the end of this century will see the railway trains drawn not by steam, but by electricity. Indeed, the progress making in the use of electricity is so rapid and so wonder ful that we may be prepared for almost any announcement in this connection. For several years some rich New York men have been furnishing money to ex- perts for the purpose of testing whether or not mail matter may be sent by cleo tricity. The experts hold out hope that they will be able to send real mail bag, containing letters and newspapers, from New York to Chicago, from Bos- ton to Omaha, in an hour at most. Other experts are trying to see if cleo tricity may not be used to propel air ships. Perhaps you will live to be sent ''by telegraph" across the continent or under the Atlantic. If you should be so sent, it would be not bit more won derful than some of the things that have already been accomplished

the 18th, there will be one Of the mos
unique political meetings ever held II
Georgia. Il will be the first battle be
tween the new party and the straight
out Democrats" In fact 1t will be the
opening ball Of the Peoples party cam.
paign.
It Is announced that Col Livingston
will make his opening speech here TO the
Democracy Of the Fifth, and will give
the reasons for the position he now oc-
Cuples.
Two years ago, Col. Livingston and
Judge Stewart appeared before the same
people. Upon one side supporting Col.
Livingston was the combined power and
influence Of the Alliance; upon the other
side supporting Judge Stewart, was the
enemies Of the Alliance and the great
reform movement-the men who fought
every inch of ground contested for by
this great order, and who could not find
words strong enough TO express their
condemnation Of the movement and the
principles lE advocated. So bitter was
the fight on the Alliance that It was OK.
pected that bloodshed would result from
the meeting-sO bitterly were the parties
opposed to Col. Livingston, that they did
everything possible to get out an lnde-
pendent against him, and when they
failed in this effort many Of them sup.
ported the Republican candidate before
they would vote for Col. Livingston. Not |
only was 1t the case In the Fifth, but in
other districts In Georgia.
What are the conditions under which
the present speaking will occurH Where
are the men who were standing shoulder
to shoulder with Col. Livingston then9
Are they backing him now and will they
shout at his appearance?
The conditions have changed. The
men who were willing to vote for a Re-
publican or anybody before Col. Living
ston are grooming him now, and It will
be under the wing Of these men who
could not villfy him enough two years
sgo that he will appear on the 18Th.
Col. Livingston has been a gallant
lighter In this movement, and those who
have been following his lead, regret very
much to see him appear under the peou-
liar surroundings Of the DouRlasville
meeting. However, the people are de-
termlned In this fight and nothing can Y
letter them from standing unterriAed for b
heir demands.
Col. Livingston will appear at this
meeting, not as an Alllanoeman, but as :
Democrat, supporting the Democratic 9
party and Its platform, and will under n
AXE the task OF proving to the people h
hat their only hope Of relief 10 through y

In the face Of the people who have =
