~ CHINE. AVAl->S1 4hE> VI 4<s4--''
Under our scheme of government the
waste of public money is a crime against
the citizen, and the contempt of our peo-
pie for economy and frugality in their
personal affairs deplora5ly saps the
strength and sturdiness of our national
character. 1t is a plain dictate Of hon
esty and good government that public
expenditures should be limited by pub
lie necessity. and that this should be
measured by the rules of strict economy,
and it is equally clear that frugality
among the people is the best guaranty OF
a continued and strong support of free
institutions.
PUBLIC OFFICE Is a PUBLIC TRUST.
One mode of the misrepresentation of
pubic funds is avoided when appoint
ments to Office. instead of being rewards
of partisan activity, are awarded to those
whose efficiency promises fair return OF
work for the com penSation paid to them.
To secure fitness and competency OF
appointees to office and to remove from
political action the demoralizing mad
ness for spoils, civil service reform has
found place in our public policy and
laws. The benefits alread, gained
througl. this instrumental;ty and the
further usefulness it promises entities it
tc the hearty support and encouragement
of all who desire to see our public serv-
ice well performed. or who hope for the
elevation OF political sentiment and the
purifcation of political methods.
DOWN WITH TIE COMBINES.
The existence of the immense aggrega-
tions OF the kindred enterprises and com
binations OF business interests formed
for the purpose Of limiting production
and fixing the prices is Inconsistent with
the fair field which ought to be
open to every independent activity
Legitimate strife in business should not
be superseded by enforced concession to
the demands of combinations that have
power to destroy; nor cause people to
be served to lose the benefit OF cheap
ness which usually results from whole
some competitions. These aggregauons
and combinations frequently constitute
consp;racies against the interests of the
people. and in ali their phases they are
unnatural and opposed to our american
sense OF fairness. To the extent that
they can be reached by the Federal power
the general government should relieve
our citizens from their interference and

The money spent by these inventors
and investigators is mounting TO great
sum, but who shall say it Is wasted, con-
sidering the benefits to accruei The re-
mark attributed TO Giffard when dying,
that he would not reveal the secret Of his
airship because "he thought he saw the
air ensanguined by war as the seas have
been, and the earth" need not disturb

are the result Of such prejudices care

while the aviation is not going to stop
all wars it will surely reduce them to O

More important than such machines as
Lieutenants Renard and Krebs success
fully steered from Meudon to the walls
of Paris and back again are the small
flying machines developed from the BIZ
cycle, which seem now about TO make
their appearance. The bicycle with cleo

turn Of a combination Of bicycle and
aviator which shall permit the rider to
leave earth and skim along for 100 yards
OF so without detriment TO himself or

tions will come the discovery, step by

DuJ Jnere was loss on the Federal side.
More than one brave man had limped back
to the surgeons ambulance aided by his
comrades, and when the group was look ed
over there lay one on the very bank of the
river in front Of the enemy's works who
could rise no more. His discharged carbine
lay by his side. The hilt of his half drawn
saber was clutched in his hand. Two
wounds-one in the head and the other
through his lungs-were pouring out his
lifeblood in purple current.
MY father!" he gasped. "Tell my father
l died like brave man and send my body
to him. He will not cast that off,"
Il was poor Henry Weston. Though NOR
tally wounded, he lived long enough to be
carried back TO camp. And he did not die
before his father, by telegraph, was in
formed Of his situation and sent In reply
that he would start instantly for his sons
bedside.
He will never see me alive, but he will
love me when am deadl" said the brave
boy when informed of this.
And so 1t was. Henry Weston had been
dead some 90 hours when his father ar
rived. The scene which ensued as that old
man bent over the body of his boy can bet
ter be imagined than described. He up
braided himself for his unkindness and
said that he would gladly give all his wealth
to have his son restored to life. He had the
body embalmed and took 1t back to New
York with him, and the mortal remains of
Henry Weston rest at Greenwood.-Ex-

THAT IL what's Wanted Before the Flying
Machine.

The Frenchman who covered the dead
walls OF Paris with calls for subscriptions
TO Society of Aviation. 10 start with a
capital Of 800, ,0O0 francs, may have been
lacking in the highest qualities of public
spirit. He was placed in Jail for taking
money for his little private flying ma
chimes, costing from $500 10 - 900, which
he failed to deliver. But his merit lies
| in discovcrin. the want that fills the
breasts Of large number Of men today.
| II is only the somewhat headlong method
Of gratifying that yearning which has
| interfered for time with his loco
motion. Had he but mad the forethought
| to invent, 10 beg or 10 borrow fairly
| efficient flying machine, nothing short Of
a cage would now prevent him from TAX
ing a leave as French as himself.
Though he should languish for the rest
| Of his days in prison, M. Delprat will
| have the glory Of the discovery that the
| bicycle no longer satisfies the longing of
| mankind toward freer movement over
| the face of land and water. If we are
| 10 believe the evolutionists. man is the
result Of gradual aspiration, from the
| worm that walloweth on a portion OF Its
anatomy unsuited to ears polite, through
| the many footed, the four footed and four
| handed beasts, up 10 the natural lord OF
creation who runs perpendicular on two
feet. The p;osent century has seen man
become what the old legends would have
termed the "whirling one foot" Why
should not this progress continue and
the next century find man rising from
that single pied terre into more or less
sustained aviationl
The flying machine still holding to
earth by one wheel has already appeared
sporadically in England, according to
Engineering Mr.. Philips published
the results Of his trial Of a machine rest
ing on a light car and claims that he
flew, but the front wheel Of the car rev
er left the ground. This is quite as 1t
should be. We creep before we walk,
we graduate from tricycle. TO bicycle,
and now we are at the unicycle age.
Who is the man to lift us finally clear Of
the earth?
The principle Of the balloon, useful as
it Is in overcoming gravity, has carried
generations of inventors into fools
paradise.
Birds are lighter than beasts, but they
are not soap bubbles. And to the bird
we have to return indirectly or directly
for lessons in the navigation of the air.
The aeroplane, in which our able await
ors are now reposing so much conf
dence, but upon which they take care
not to repose their own brittle bodies, is
the result Of a study Of the soaring Of
birds. Latterly 1t has been reasoned
out that individual feathers have
powerful influence in supporting the
bird in air. So the aeroplanes are made
not solid, but with Stats, and in some
cases iointed in sections. so that while

Twill not follow Henry Weston through
three or four months Of service and hard
drilling. He was noticed by his officers to
be smart and talented, but he never lost an
opportunity to use that which steals eITay
mems brains and weakens the most power
ful-the stimulant that lifts up but to
throw down. That single failing kept him
from promotion to a noncommissioned
rank. But over this time I will pass to
hasten to the closing scene.
On as bright day as ever shone In vir-
ginia the regiment, sent to reconnoiter, OBJ
served strong picket force Of the enemy
intrenched in rifle pit at Zuni, where the
Norfolk and Petersburg railroad crosses
the Blackwater river. As the Confedsrates
had been shooting pickets in the night IL
was deemed best to pay of old scores on
this occasion. The troop to which Weston
belonged was dismounted and ordered to
advance as skirmishers. With wild, glad
cheers the brave boys dashed on, headed by
their gallant captain, amid hail OF mimic
balls. They did not pause for the FIRE, but
on, on they dashed, firing a. they ran, un-
til the Confederates began to wsver and
esiacken their fire. At this moment the
colonel galloped down with the howitzers,
and few shots from them cleared the rife
pits, and all who were not slain fed, cast
Ing down their arms AZ they went.

DISINHERITED.

In the parlor Of one OF the finest suits OF
tooms in the first and best hotels In the
city OF New York, in the early days of 1881,
stood gentleman whose age was probably
90, FOR his hair was snowy white, and his
brow wore an abundance of times burrows
In the shape OF wrinkles. His eyes were
OF cold, passonless, calculating gray.
His features indicated hrmness, even to
obstinacy Mr. Wilkinson Weston was not
alone In the apartment. A young man
not much beyond 81 stood before him. A
similarity OF features told that they were
related. The youth, however, had clear
blue eyes and less Of that firm mark of de-
termination In his expression. And-pity
to say it-there was in that young mans
face plain evidence that he was leading
what is termed fast life.
