Port Electric Mails.

By the present arrangement for mail
transportation from one part of our large
cities to another, four letters can be put
into the postoffice of. say. New York,
at the same time One of these is ad-
dressed to Boston. another to Philadel-
phia. the third to Washington and the
fourth to an individual in Brooklyn or
the upper part Of New York city. The
person in Boston. Philadelphia or Wash
ington will be reading his letter next
morning at the same time the individual
in Brooklyn or Harlem gets his. 1t takes
letter as long to travel from New York
to Brooklyn as from New York to Bos
ton.
An invention has been devised to
remedy this state of affairs and give to
large cities rapid mail transit. The
object is claimed to be accomplished by
the port electric system of mail trans
portation The company having the
matter in charge has been incorporated
in West Virginia, but will put the in
Y yention in operation first between New
Work and Brooklyn. The distance be
tween the postoffices of these two cities
is about 2l4 miles. and by the new sys.
tenn port electric trains can convey
mail from one to the other in from three
to five minutes, the trains being run ten
minutes apart
In this case the line will cross the
Brooklyn bridge and follow the bridge
car and elevated road tracks, The" line
will consist Of single rail track. The
car that passes over it viii have a wheel
at each end and guide wheel attached
to rail above. The car will look much
like huge cigar 20 feet long and 70
inches wide. When the mechanical diff,
ticulty of friction is overcome. which is
the chief one in the way. according to
the claim made. this iron and lightning
letter carrier will be able to race along
its track at the rate Of from $50 to 200
miles an hour.
After the New York and Brooklyn
road is tried and proved successful, then
!, the company will extend its operations
first to suburban delivery, to the towns
OF from ten to fifteen miles away from
great centers Of population. This scheme
being shown to be practicable, the sys-
tenn viii be tried for long distances.
Going attthe tremendous rate Of speed
mentioned. it will be necessary to place
the port electric cars out Of reach Of or
binary travel and traffic. This will be
accomplished BY elevating the track
upon line Of posts stretched along the
route. Last Of all. double track lines
will b attempted on the same plan. and
the San Francisco man may yet read i
letter that left New York the day be-
fore

errors that have crept in through trans

the real inspiration of the sacred book
will chime forth all the more gloriously,
because book divinely inspired can
sustain any criticism. The opposing
school, on the other hand, declares the
Bible as it is is to be accepted as the
foundation of all doctrine, and just as it
is is to be accepted; that it is too divine

Bounty on Sugar.

REPORT ON THE BOUNTY LAW BY THE
STATE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
STATION.
The State Agricultural Experiment
Station has issued a bulletin setting
forth the results obtained by the
Vermont farmers in their endeaVor
to get the sugar bounty this year
The facts and figures embodied IN the
bulletin we're prepared by Professors
w. w. Cooke and j. l.. Hills, ana were
obtained from the records OF the GOV
eminent laboratory at Montpelier.
The following are some of the most
interesting extracts from the DulleIih'
The records at the present time are com
plete for about nine-tenths OF the season anu
afford a sufficient basis for estimating tne
remainder. From the returns at MOntpeleT'lu
nppears that 232S, SAG pounds of sugar were
weighed and sampled this year for the bounty
of which S2,237 pounds or 312 per cent
tested 900 or over, and is entitled TO a bouh-
ty of two cents pound; l,939,3o9 pounu7,
or S3H per cent, tested from so TO 10 anu
is entitled to bounty OF ia cents per P e
while 3O7 27O pounds tested under SO0 ana
will get no bounty In general terms, then,
seven-eights of the sugar tested VIII get the
bounty. The law requires that at least oOO
hounds testing 800 or over shall be produced
TO get the bounty. In the total quantities
given above are included 522 pounds,
testing 800 or oyer and % BOG pounds test
ing so to 9Oo that were in quantities OF less
than 500 pounds per person and hence lose
the bounty. So that there remains Oh 10
pounds at two cents per pound, equals 81,
ga 80, and / ,912 ,033 pounds at Ia cents
per pound equals S33, 46O.5S, total bounty
for Vermont of S35, 094 SO. OF the 1918
who tried to get the bounty, 1871 succeeded
and lat failed these latter being divided
into 6S who failed because their sugar did
not test SOo. The 1917 who obtained the
bounty, received on the average S21.7O. The
6gl who took out licenses but did not pre-
sent any sugar to be weighed had various
reasons; some did not tap their orchards
this spring; some did not make oOO pounds
some made syrup instead of sugar; quite a
number were misled by the warm spell that
occurred in the middle Of the sugar season into
thinking that the sugar season was over
| and as they had not made 500 pounds at
| that time sold what they had without hav-
ing it weighed
In order to get the bounty on the
sugar crop of 1898, the farmer must
( act at once and take out his license
before July 1, 1892. The figures
presented in this bulletin show con
clusively that most of the sugar
made in Vermont is of such quality
as to be entitled to the bounty, ano
the experience of those who obtained
it this year proves that it is worth
much more than the time and trou
BILE necessary to get it.

The MINNEAPOLIS Situation

Secretary Blaine's resignation from
the Presidents cabinet has put the
political guessers all at sea, and no
one appears able to furnish reliable
figures in support of any claim con-
corning the outcome of the Minneap-
oils convention. Mr. Blaine has given
no reasons for his act, and apparent
ly is willing that it should be attrib-
uted to differences existing prior to
the opening of the political cam
| paign, possibly aggravated by recent
Jealous politicians. But, whatever
the reason for the resignation its i'm
mediate effect was to infuse renewed
enthusiasm into the Blaine contin-
gent at Minneapolis. 1t is worthy
of note that while the ex-Secretary' s
newest supporters are confident that
he is now ready to accept the Presi-
Dental nomination, his Oldest and
most faithful admirers, such as
Chauncey M. Depew, still express the
belief that he will adhere to the let
ter and the spirit of his February
letter to General Clarkson.
Under the circumstances it is safe
to assume that there is still doubt
as to Mr.. Blaine's acceptance, if the
nomination is rendered him by any,
thing less than a practically unani-
nous vote. Nevertheless the contest
will go on, and. as in 1888. only an
explicit declaration that he will not
take the position, if offered him, will
1,,p 70 I, a..
convention. Whether he can secure
a majority is something which can
not be predicted with certainty.
President Harrison has a vigorous
and hopeful following, and it is
known that he is backed by many
enthusiastic admirers of Blaine who
feel that at this time and under the
uncertain conditions as regards the
other candidate, the denomination
of the President would be wise action.
While the situation is not wholly
satisfactory to the most outspoken
advocates of the one or the other
name, it nevertheless has an encour-
aging side. 1t shows that the Re
publicans are alive and enthusiastic.
1t shows a confidence of success at
the polls and a disposition to CON
tinue the policy Of the present adj
ministratiOn. With either Harrison
or Blaine, or some one upon whom
the present adherents of both may
ultimately unite, in the executive
chair there would be strict adherence
to the wise principles now in force.
There may be difference of opinion
as to men, there is none as to meas
ures. Therefore it is easy to believe
that the choice of the convention, be
he Harrison or Blaine, or "a dark
horse, will receive united and enthu-
siastic Republican support
For the next two days all eyes will
be upon Minneapolis. The contest
thus far has shown no bitterness. 1t
has shown vigor, and hourly is grow
ing more interesting. If some enthu-
siast now and then shows an excess
of zeal it will be pardoned, for the
circumstances are exciting. The rec
ord of other Republican conventions
shows that tame unanimity is not
an indispensable preliminary to a
successful campaign.-Troy Times.
