IS IT ANOTHER DEALT

1t is obvious that machine methods
are again being used 10 enforce cut and
dried legislation in congress. The new
currency scheme, so Shyly presented
to the public at the beginning OF the
session, turns ont TO be 4 well matured
plan for converting our non-interest
bearing debt into interest bearing
bonds which make desirable invest
ment for the millions of unemployed
capital now in the hands of select
few. Objections, long and loud. will
be raised by individual members of
the party in power, but past experience
warrants the conclusion that there is
4 safe working majority favorable to
this policy. and tina after much slow
of opposition it will be adopted in both
houses and become a law. There Is
no doubt now that Grover Cleveland
Squeers. before the session opened,
called his faithful lieutenants about
him and administered the regulation
dose of birthstone and treacle. and that
they will do his bidding as in the case of
the silver repeal bill and the tariff
| law. II is by such acts of subSeryiency
to his royal will that he knows, form
time 10 time, that his word is law. Off
cial patronage is the sweetened potion
that brings a working majority on
Bonded knees-every member ready
10 take the proffered dose. Was there
ever such travesty upon legislation for
the people: The administration, by
to his royal will that he knows, from
nate in selecting measures upon which
the public has little practical knowl-
edge. The two questions of tariffs and
! finances involve more mystery 10 the
average voter than any of the great
/ national issues. That the individual
I success of every voter is involved.
/ furnishes no solution of the intricate
problems TO be dealt with. but ii turns
| out that tariff and finance have been
the burden of the Democratic song 10
the exclusion of all other questions.

BIRDi N HIGH GALES.

The sea and shore birds along the
Atlantic coast from Florida to Maine
had a hard time of it in the recent
heavy wind and rain storms, and many
curious sights were witnessed by So
journers at the seaside resorts. When
the gale was at its height birds with
the most powerful wings were swept
along by the heavy wind, and either
cast upon strange shores or forced 70
seek safety in protected places along
the wooded coast. Nearly all birds
seem to have an instructive knowledge
that if they once surrender to the force
Of the wind and allow themselves to
drift along with it the dangers are uu-
told and imminent. Consequently, 1t
is fine sight to see powerful-winged
shore and sea birds fighting strong
gale, rising at one time high in the air,
facing the wind, and then sweeping
down in a slanting direction with the
velocity of lightning, checking them
selves again just before reaching the
ground to renew the battle. In this
way the birds slowly make progress in
the direction they desire, fighting the
wind at every inch, as yacht does
when trying to work up TO the wind

the birds yield to the force ofthe wind
and lose control of their flight 1t Is
very difficult to recover their balance
again, and in very short time they
might be swept far out of their course
and perhaps into dangerous fields

ELECTRICITY WITHOUT WIRES,

FROM tho Boston Herald.
In the opinion of leading electricians
one of the next great steps forward in
electrical developments will be the
doing away with wires for the trans
mission of electricity. Our present
methods for transmission of electric
energy are held to belong to a primi-
tive stage of the science. All the par
aphernalia of wires, poles, etc, that
are now necessary are regarded as
crude, clumsy and wasteful, belonging
to period of development correspond
ing to that in the growth of child
where it cannot walk without support
In the coming period all necessity for
these things will be done away with.
and the methods for the transmission
of the marvellous energy that has been
harnessed 10 do the work OF the world
will be as invisible as the flow of the
fluid itself. The harness will disap
pear, and Ariel will do his subtle serv-
ice with no outward token of his ex-
istence save in the effects produced

when this end is accomplished. and the

have at last served their ends and van
ished- We are now getting rid OF the
wires that have become such nuisance
and source of danger by placing them
underground at great expense But,
sooner or later. there will be no wires
at all either above the ground CT
below.
That such will be the case is held BIZ
electricians TO be no wild fancy. Men
like Dolbeare. Thomson and Tesla look
forward 10 il with Confidence con-
fdence which would seem TO be justi-
fed by the fact that, TO limited ex-
tent its feasibility has already teen
