Major Dye was born in Ohio IN 1888
and graduated from West Point in the
class with Sheridan, Schofeld and Hood
and was given a second heutenantcy in
the Fourth infantry. where he served
with Grant. When the civil war broke
out, he was stationed in Texas as q Sec
ond lieutenant in the Eighth infantry
at San Antonio, and to avoid bang in
cludad IN the Twigga surrender he went
into Mexico While on his way TO the
capital the coach was attacked BY brig
ands, and he and another American pas
senger beat of the robbers with revolv-
ers, killing several Of them In company
with Tom COrviu, American minister
he sailed from Vera Cruz to EavaEa,
and there was brought near death by
the yellow fever, but recovered suffi-
GENTLY to take command Of the Twen-
tieth Iowa infantry IN 1852.
He served through the remainder Of
the war, commanded q brigade IN the
west and was brevetted a brigadier In
the peace establishment h0 was made
major Of the Fourth infantry, but soon
resigned and went to Egypt to assist
General Stone in organizing the khe-
dives troops Egypt still owes him sew
era1 thousand dollars in unpaid salary
Early IN 1888 he was made superintend-
ent Of the police force of the District OF
Columbia and greatly increased its
efficiency. His fight with the Louisiana
Lottery company made a noted epis de
IN District affairs, as he not only raided
the compsny's Office, but broke open its
iron safe and seized all its assets. The
company brought salt against the Dis
trict, but was beaten. In 1855 the home
rule principle was put in force, and
Major Dye gave place to Samuel Il.
Walker as superintendent. He then
went to Korea.

WHIT PLBLLCANS ACST DC Z.
The Republican party now has the
most gloriSus opportunity TO win the
lasting affection or the people Of this
eountry that il has had since 1851 The
people have repudiatsd the Democratic
party, and they have pushed the PoPulist
party to one aide. The crown is offered
to the Grand Old Republican party by
ten million hands, and twice ten million
voices are asking it 20 lead this country
out of the wilderness where il has been
wandering.
In 1892 the people grew dissatisfied
with the Republican party. It appar-
emily had not advanced rapidly enough
to suit them; or perhaps too rapidly-in
its protection ideas at least The Home
stead strike also aroused the bitterest
feelings against the party IN power
among hundreds of thousands Of work
ingmen who turned to the Democratic
party in desperation
Last year and this, the panic, the re-
sultant hard times, the railroad and min
ers' strikes and general industrial unrest
have brought the people back to the Re
publican party.
Now, the Republican party must rem
edy the evils the people complain of.
This is its glorious opportunity. Unless
it can and will do 50, its lease Of power
will be short Although Democratic
president in the White house may prove
an obstacle to the needed legislation, a
Republican congress can at least carry
the necessary reforms as far as possible
and satisfy the people that their inten-
tons are good.
The Republican party should restore
the free coinage Of silver. Until our
currency is placed on the same footing
that it formerly occupied, it does not
seem possible that real prosperity can be
attained Let congress pass free coin
age bill, and if Grover Cleveland chooses
to veto it let him and the remnants of 9
party stand the consequences.

cd Claiming NJ BrittOn Of New York
president for the ensuing year. The
convention decided to send to the Off
Gals Of the different states a pamphlet
outlining the best road laws, the cost
of good roads and approved methods Of
construction. The association also rec
commended the use Of wide tires for
heavy traffic and vehicles Of varying
tracks that would be ''roadmakers in
stead of road destroy rs -
The association, which was formed in
New York in 1872, now has a total
membership, active, honorary and asso-
ciate, Of nearly 700. One Of the most
interesting subjects discussed at the re-
cent convention was the application Of
bali bearings and pneumatic tires to
carriages and trucks. The universal use
of the ball bearings and the pneumatic
tire in the construction Of bicycles has
led hcrsemen to demand the same APP
planes on their carriages and other
vehicles. The use Of the balls gives a
rolling instead Of 4 sliding friction, and
the result is a great saving of power
and a consequent increase in speed and
drawing capacity
The first elastic pneumatic tire, it is
said was made over 40 years ago for
carriages in England The tire attracted
little attention until recently, when it
added 50 much speed and comfort to
the riders of the bicycle. On roads that
are at all rough the pneumatic tire runs
with much more ease than a steel tire
for the reason that the air expanded tire
dattens over small distractions, while
the steel tire must be lifted over them
At the convention one of the speakers
predicted that teamsters would soon
generally adopt the pneumatic tire be-
cause they would learn that their horses
could draw heavier loads The same
speaker told a humorous story illustrat-
ing the ignorance Of some horsemen re-
garding the new tire. The horseman
had bought a pneumatic sulzy, and
week later he entered the shop and
threw down the tire in disgust. Il paid
my good stuff for this, . he said, land
I want to know what you take me for.

Ar 1Asr two Ike seem ID 80

AT LAST two states seem to have been
wrested from the control of the southern
Democracy. They are the two Carolinas.
In North Carolina it was accomplished
by union Of the Populists with the Re
publicans. which resulted in the election
Of several candidates Of each to congress.
The chairman Of the Republican commit
tee in telegraphing the result to WASH
ington very wisely said: I'VE have car
ried the state if we can hold it." The
Democrats Will of course count them out
if possible. In South Carolina under the
leadership Of Governor Iillman the Pop
ulists have elected the governor and the
entire congressional delegation. There
will be no counting out down there. Till
man used to be Democrat himself He
has all the election machinery and
knows how to use it. If these states can
be held out of the Democratic column in
1896, then it can be said that the solid
south is broken Judging by the power
that Tillman has developed, it really
seems as though he can deliver his state
wherever he chooses.
