New Electric Railway
System. F

A new invented street railway
system solves the electrical pro-
pulsion problem by doing away
with trolley. It is easily built,
and there is said to be no limit to
its power. It is particularly adop-
ted to city uses and for elevated
roads, and is the property of the
Westinghouse company OF Pitts
burg, Pa, at whose works it has
been tried. Its chief novelty is
the manner in which the current
is picked up. The car motor, in
stead of being fed from contin-
uous overhead wire through a re-
volying trolley wheel, receives its
current from three metallics Stats
which extend underneath the
whole length of the car. Every
twenty feet three metallic knobs
come to the surface of the pave
ment, and are so placed that each
of the stats makes contact with
one of them. There is no current
whatever in these knobs until
they come in contract with the
three long conductors beneath the
car. This result is accomplished
by an automatic switch. One of
the knobs receives from a small
storage battery in the car a cur
rent Of sufficient strength to at
tract an electro-magnet to its
keeper and thus complete the cir
cult for the main current. After
operating the motor the main cur
rent passes back to the power
house through another slst and
its corresponding knob. In order
that there may be no break in the
supply of electricity, the set of
knobs are placed a less distance
apart than the length of the car.
Before contact with one set has
been broken, contact with another
set has been made. As soon as
the stats have ceased to touch a
set of knobs the attraction in the
electrip magnet stops. and the
knobs become pieces of ordinary
iron again. There is thus no dan.
ger for horses or vehicles, as
nothing but ctricity passing
through a knob can revive it's hid.
den force. As the system does
not contemplate the use of an IN.
derground trolley, it can be adap
ted to street railway tracks with.
out any necessity of rebuilding
the road. Morning Star.

No Remedy Proposed.
Louisiana Appeal.

Every sensible observant gold
bug will admit, when passed, that
the people of the South are in a
woefully bad shape financially.
That fact is not disputed by men
of candor and keen observation.
They recognize that for three
years the people, the farmers, of
the South have been gradually
and rapidly retrograding in the
effort to make money. But it is
impossible to elicit from defen-
der of the gold standard any re-
NEEDY when he has the nerve to
propose for this ugly state of at
fairs. He candidly admits that
something is wrong; he stubborn
ly declines to propose remedy.
Many goldbugs will engage vo-
Hubby in an attempt to explain
why farmers are growing poorer
and poorer as each year is put on
the scroll of the past. They crate
eloquently over the direful conse-
quences of producing too much
and pirate glibly over the beauti-
full theory of living at home. But
they fail to explain to the poor
unfortunate debtor farmer how
| his wife and little children can
live while he proceeds to make
his farm produce meat and bread
instead of cotton, with which to
pay for meat and bread which
they have already consumed.
We believe every farmer in this
parish would be proud if he could
cut loose from the letters of Gre
ditors. We believe a great majo-
Irity Of creditors would hail with
JOY the day when farmers could
4 cut loose. But how is that to be
done? That is the question which
our goldbug friends should an
swer. It is answered by the ad.
vocates of free silver coinage; but
their answer is scoffed at by cue
koos and goldbugs as the doctrine
of Populists. looms and fools. Sill.
yer coinage advocates believes
that with the restoration of the
double standard farm products
would demand such values thai
farmers could again become the
b Independent class that were prior
to time when the gold standard
was established, and that will
such values property would re-
turn, not only to the farmers, but
to the merchant, the mechanic
the artisan and to all other lines
Z of human endeavor. For these
reasons, and for no others, the Ia
boring people are almost solic
unit for free coinage. If that re-
, mef]v ia not the correct one: If Il
is a humbug-and the goldbugs
all say it is-why in the name o.
common sense and common hu
manity do they not come fortl
and offer substitute? 81
.ls Tits cruel 70 admonish people
who are both hungry and nakec
to be patient; to promise then
that better times are ahead. Two
years ago they were assured tina
the day of .deliverance was sp

now than then. Debts are mor'
difficult to discharge now with tn,
same assets or property than the!

that it now requires more of tina
property to pay debts than it die

Big Headed Women not Beautiful.

The "big head" that is sometimes nc

that actual largeness Of skull and fea-
lures which sayors Of disproportion
and can never be symmetrical when
combined with feminine shoulders.
Websterian massiveness may please
the Willards and the Somersets,
though never the admirers of beauty
and womanly grace, and to whom size
means nothing intellectually, provided
the gray matter has room enough to
exercise its precise function. There
is an antediluvian notion that the
small head of the antelope or the deer
signifies a type wellfollowed by nature
in the construction of fair women, and
even if the present development Of
brains does physically affect the race,
