other storage battery railroad
lr is said that the application of
electricity to agricultural work is one
Of the most promising fields now open
to the electrical engineer and manu-
facturcr.
ELECTRICITY, where unretart!cd by at
mospheric influences, travels at the
rate of 2Ss, Oo0 miles second. Along q
wire it is, of course, vastly slower; q
perccptiblc period Of time is occupied
by the electric current in sending tcle-
grams over long distances.
Ir is said chat experiments arc now
being tried in London, England, to cx-
tract aluminous from alkaline and
earthly alkaline alurninatcs, which, if
successful, will altogether supcrscdc
the clcctrolytic processes now in vogue,
and produce the new at from fourteen
to sixteen cents per pound

1t is well enough perhaps to discuss
an issue of bonds since it brings out
certain facts and figures concerning
other phases of the financial question.
But when the act itself of issuing an
interest-bearing bonds in times of pro-
found peace is seriously considered,
but few have the courage to father 1t.
II the Democratic party finally sur
renders to Wall Street and permits
sale Of bonds the people will bury it in
iufamv with their ballots as fast as
elections take place. In fact, it is the
candid opinion of many close observers
that such a course would precipitatc
a bloody and far-reaching revolution.
However this may be, one thing is GER
tain, there IS growing sentiment
been invaded, and that they have been
robbed OF those conditions wliic,, should
furnish them with an equal chance
in the great battle of life. They have
lost all faith in the Legislative and OK
ecutive branches Of Government, and
the recent infamous decisions in re-
gard to the rights of labor has we'll
nigh destroyed their hopes in the ma
tional Judiciary. Under such circum-
stances further trial of their laticncc
and endurance may well be viewed
with alarm. The chasm between Dives
and Lazarus is becoming too great. and
the contempt on the one hani and the
ever-increasins hatred on the other,
must soon be neu:ralized or the worst
may he expected in the near future.
An issue of additional bonds would be
taken as declaration of war uron all
labor in production. Will President
Cleveland care to raise the black flag

Once inside the grounds. the sensible
visitor will devote some thought
and ulation to the manner in
which he will endeavor TO get Us
