Steam or EIectricity?

Whenever any new mechanical de-
vice comes to notice, the public. ex-
cited perhaps 10y certain anonymous
and irresponsible scribes in hasty
articles. goes int0ecst over the new
discovery. and proceeds to relegate all
previous devices to the scrap-heap.
Immediately following the invention
and practical perfection of the cleo
tric dynamo, and its application to
the running of street cars and ceI lain
kinds Of machinery, we were told that
the steam engine and the locomotive
were antiquated, paSse, and not up TO
date. On paper, electric railroads
were operating all over the Union,
and driving the steam roads out of eX-
istence Up to this date, nothing of
the kind has taken place, but if il had
been 50 the work of steam would not
have been displaced. These en-
thusiastic people forget that behind
every dynamo, or group of dy Iomos,
is steam engine, and that the cleo

Robert Schilling, the Milwaukee
POpulist recently delivered a speech
at Prescott which young democratic
politician summed up as follows: "He
lust trimmed both the republican
and democratic parties and that is all
that he did do, offering no argument
in support of his own party" There
is a good deal of truth implied by
this suggestion. 1t is noticeable that
POpulist and Prohibition orators en-
plOy much of their time occupied in
making speeches, in berating the two
great parties, their leaders and
methods. 1t would be strange
indeed if all party leaders were para
CONS of purity, but neither the
Populists nor PrOhibitionistS need 90
out of their own party to find poll
ticians whose motives and methods
are anything but clean and unselfiSh
The two smaller political parties of
this country certainly do not enjoy a
monopoly of all that is great and
good in party managers and true
craftsmanship.

silence upon this point is now so

thrown so many working men out of
