A Speaking Watch.

A Geneva clock maker has invented a
speaking watch. 1t is an application
of the photograph to the old-fash-

hammers have beon replaced by u

the point moves over the surface it
emits irt culate sounds, indicating

incidentally, Willard Parker hospital,
New York
A reporter interviewed DR.. Herman M.

oratories, on the subject DIR. Biggs is an
enthusiast in regard - the benefits of an
ti-toxine and declares it to be a wonderful
deterrent to the ravages of diphtheria
DIR. Briggs produced lot of data and
statistics which showed very clearly the
mortality in the cases Of diphtheria treated
in the Willard Parker hospital since the
introduction Of the new method i'm Novem-
Der, 1894, as compared with the previous

sINGLE.TAxERs IN DELAWARE.

The single-taxerS are making most
remarkable campaign in the little State
of Delaware. They hope to capture
the State and make 1t an object lesson
to the whole country. Their policy is
unquestionsbly a wise one. There is
no demonstration of any theory as con.
elusive as that of actual experience. A
very little fact established by actual
practice is worth a great deal of philos-
ophy. While we do not believe the
single-tax is the psnsces for human
ills that It's friends claim 1t to be, there
are undoubtedly some things that it
would accomplish, and we hope the
campaign in Delaware may be success
full and the system be given a fair
trial. We shall watch the effects Of
such trial with great interest.
Aside from the object lesson which
such a trial would afford the people of
the country we should look for another
effect to result from it. Single-tsxers,
as well as other people, would discover
just how far this measure would be
remedial, and In our judgment, such q
test of experience would convince
them, as nothing else will, that many
other changes of the existing systems
are necessary before trusts, combines
and monopolies for private gain would
disappear and justice be established
among men. By all means let Della
ware be captured.

THE POLITICAL PENDULUM TAKES AN
OTHER SWING.

The dispatches Of October 8 an
nounce a Democratic landslide at the
city election at Indianapolis, Ind, on
that day. Two years ago the city
elected the Republican ticket by a ma.
jOrity of 5000. Now it elects the Demo
cratic ticket by amsjority of 1000. We
do not know what local issues, if any,
were involved in this election. In all
probability there were none of impor
tance, SO far as these two parties were
concerned. They have no issues.
Neither of them propose to do any
thing for the people. The contest be-
tween them is merely contest for
spoils.
The dispatches say that this land
slide is regarded as remarkable. We
see nothing remarkable about it OK.
cept the remarkable stupidity of the
voters. Each Of the parties is so bad
that a single term Of either of them is
all the people think they can endure,
and they have not yet conceived the
idea that they have any remedy except
in change from one to the other. It
is simply another swing of the polit-
ical pendulum. The abuses which the
people seek to be rid of will continue
until voters know enough to reject both
old parties and vote for their own in
terests and for men who will respect
them.
