A MODEL STREET RAIL VA 7.

The city Of Budapest contains half
million inhabitants, and therefore
presents all the problems of metro
polls. 1t refused to permit the intro
duction of the trolley system, as we'll
as of system in which one of the
rails should be charged with electri-
city and used as a conductor. The re-
suit was that the street railway COM
pany desiring franchise was COM
PEELED to resort to a better though
more expensive system. There is an
underground conduit below one of
the rails, about fifteen by twelve inch
es. In this is carried an insulated wire
conveying the current; and connec-
ton is made with the motor through
a slot in the rail itself. There is thus
neither any apparatus above ground
that can obstruct the streets or en-
danger life, nor anything on the
ground with which contact can pos
sibly be dangerous.
The cars have all the modern i'm
provements, are vestibuled to protect
the motormen from the weather, and
are provided with tenders that pre-
vent entirely injury to life and limb.
The system is under strict municipal
supervision, and it's accounts are open
to public inspection. Although this
costly system is used, and it is found
adequate in all kinds of weather.
and all these improvements are in
sisted upon, the stockholders of the
company received last year a divi-
dend of per cent. after large rem
tai had been paid to the city for the
use of the streets, besides providing
for a reserve fund.

A curious instance of sagacity on
the part of pigeon has come to my
knowledge, writes a contributor to a
London paper. Some time ago one of
the blue rocks which frequent the
square in front of the Guild Hall had
the misfortune to damage it's leg.
The bird was promptly taken care of
by one of the policemen on duty
there, and so we'll did the injured limb
prosper that in a week or two 1T was
able to join it's friends, but not, how
ever, until the constable had tied
about it's leg a piece of red ribbon, so
that he might identify the patient and
see how it was getting along. A few
days ago a gentleman who has been
much interested in the sick bird saw,
to his astonishment, among the pl-
geons contentedly feeding before st.
Marks in Venice, blue rock which
wore a red ribbon around it's leg. He
wired to the constable, whom he
knew, s'Have you missed pigeon with
red ribbon?' The answer was re-
turned, eyes, three or four days since
it has been seem" The bird must
have known that bad weather was
due in London, and taken a health
excursion to Italy.

1t is comforting to know that in ex-
treme cases of bodily harm men suf-
fer much less than is commonly sup
posed. Rustem Pasha, now Turkish
Ambassador in London, was once at
tackled by bear, which tore off part
of his hand and part of his arm
and shoulder. He affirmed afterward
that he felt no sense or fear of pain.
What occupied his mind was feel
ing of anger ''because the bear grunt-
ed with SO much satisfaction while
thus engaged"
Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian
offic er, bears similar testimony. He
was seized by tiger, which held him
with one paw and then deliberately
devou red the whole of his arm, begin
ming at the hand and ending at the
shoulder. He, too, is sure that he
felt no fear. He believes he felt lit
tie pain when the fangs went through
his hand, but is certain that he felt
none while the tiger was munching
his arm.

1T can make blank bills more valuable
than the United States bonds! Why
do the banks get their blanks from
the government? They should get
them where they can get them the
cheapest. They only need something
to which they can fasten some sigma
lures. And blythe way, can bank
officer tell when he has received"
800 in blank bills? Do nine ten-dollar
blank bills make 800? What? Worth
their face without those signatures?
After all the talk, is there nothing in
that signature racket" No!
And Jonah never swallowed the
the whale? Well
Again, Mr.. Horr says if the bank
fails to redeem ITS bills the govern
ment sells its bonds land with the
proceeds arising from the sale re-
deems the bill bf the bank. This is
not loan to the bank
Notso fast. Well see whether it is
loan or not. For obvious reasons we
cannot take Mr.. Horrs word for it..
lie must first prove that it is possible
for him to tell something once, just as
it is. The reader is doubtless salts
fed from what has already been said
that bank currency is a loan. Mr..
HOrr says the government furnishes
it. Again he states that the banks
receive" it, and in another place
that they"sccure" it from the govern
ment. Now ifSthe government fur
nishes 1t and the banks receive it,
what is the act itself called? They
pay per cent annual duty Gnterest)
for its use. Would they do this if
they had given value received for it?
l repeat 1t is gift or loan.
When banks. go into liquidation
they must either return their notes or
their equivalent in value to the gov
ernment before fthey can get posses
sion Of their bonds. This is simply
taking back something they have re-
ceived from the. government. Would
they take it back it they did not owe
it? In other words, would something
be returned to the government which
had not in the first place been bor-
rowed? Even ii they deposit lawful
money for the redemption of their
notes, the lawful money represents
what they have received from the
people in exchange for the bank notes
they have loaned them.
Mr.. Horr should have been the au-
thor of the national bank act. The
title then would have read, IAN act
to provide some blanks secured by a
pledge of United States bonds, and to
provide for the circulation Of sigma
lures and the redemption thereof"
There would have been no comptroller
of the currency but simply a roust-
about or ramrod to the bank depart
ment. Instead of ''currency
bureau" there would have been a
blank bill factory. There would have
been no doubt then as to whether the
banks receive anything real or tan
gible from the government. Mr.. Horr
would have aidAthey simply receive a
lot cf vacrtfns. ife would have left
out the word receive" for fear it
would have been construed to mean a
loan. He would have stated that the
banks, somehow or other, got into
possession of the little end of nothing
and signed it,

NOW.

Rise! for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming on.
The others have buckled their armor,
And forth to the fight are gone.
A place in the ranks awaits YOU
Each man has some part to play;
The past and the present are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Rise from your dreams of the future
OF gaining some hard-fought field;
Of storming some airy fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield.
Your future has deeds of glory,
OF honor God grant it mayD
But you arm will never be stronger,
Or the need SO great as to-day.
Rise, if the past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget,
No claims so unworthy to hold you
AS those of vain regret.
Sad or bright she is lifelesS eyor;
Cast her phantom arms away
Look not back, save to learn the lesson
OF a nobler strife to-day:
Rise for the day is passing,
The sound that you family hear,
Is the enemy marching to battle:-
Arise, for the foe is here.
Stay not to sharpen your weapons.
Or the hour will strike at last,
When from dreams of a coming battle
You may wake to find it past!

CHARLES DICKENS.
His Opinion of the Newspapers of
the United States Fifty Years
Ago.
AN HONEST PRESS WANTED.

Charles Dickens, after his visit to
America in 1874 said:
SCHOOLS may be erected east, west,
north and south; pupils may be
taught, masters may be reared by
scores upon scores of thousands; col
leges may thrive, churches may be
crammed, temperance be diffused and
advanced kowledge in all other forms
may walk through the land by giant
strides, but while the newspaper press
is in or near it's present abject state
high moral improvement in that
country is hopeless; year by year it
must and will go back; year by year
the tone of public feeling will sink
lower and lower; year by year the Con-
gress and Senate will be of less ac-
count before all decent men; year by
year the memory Of the great fathers
of the revolution will be outraged
more and more by the bad life of their
degenerate children"
To which the Seattle Call tersely
says: "The above, from the noted au-
thor, comes to US from half century
ago with tremendous power. High
moral improvement has been subor-
dinated to wealth getting, and the
press, the mightiest power in the land.
has pandered to the spirit Of gain.
Success all these years. has meant
financial success, and subsidized
press, voicing the spirit of the wealth
getter, has been servile to mammon.
The production Of moral character
has not been it's aim or purpose, but
the production of sharp, shrewd, un-
scrupulous business men that will
overmatch and undermine the pros
perity of their fellows, careless as to
the methods moral or otherwise; and
the sentiment nothing succeeds like
success, interpreted financially, has
come to be the inspiring principle of
American life, while high moral at
tainments' count for nothing, and a
servile, abject newspaper press is very
largely responsible for the condition.
Dickens words were prophetic. The
nation has been and still is on the
down grade. The crying need of the
hour is an indepe ndent, fearless
newspaper press, edited by men of
high moral stamina, who can recognize
something better and .nobler for man
than wealth getting"

They did not shrink because they
might not realize results. Look back
over the dark ages when to think was
crime and to speak the truth about
church and state meant death. when
even the rulers could not read nor

one truth spoken must have been.

scheme of sending out an advance agent
He did this with degree OF success that
renders it impossible to visit certain local

faro in one of the Butte gambling joints and
then got mixed up in 4 game of stud poker
with a travelling man who was selling play
ing cards. AT the end of the game Dan had
all of the drummer's money, his horse and

disappeared for u day OF two, and when ho
appeared on the scene again he Went INTO

During the few days that Dan had been
in retirement he had marked every card
in every deck, so that the back Of each
card was an open book to him.
Then tie staked the tin-horn gambler and
gave him a list of the villages or stations

Dan waited until his advance agent had
returned with his report, and tnen lie started
out. He knew every barroom and gambling
place which had his cards.
Dropping into game, he would play fora

who wants an honest deal he would order q

the bar or from back of the counter no sus-
picion could possibly rest on him, and hs
went on his merry way.

taking a Northern Pacific train East he ar
rived in New York, where he took the next
boat for Europe. He browsed about for
a while, and then struck Monte Carlo. This
game was too much for him, and In few
days he was broke. He kept out small
stake, enough to get to New York, and
worked his way back to Denver on freight :
