The hanson cab will, in the opin-
ion of members Of the cab fraternity,
eventually give place to the bicycle,
except that IN this case the bicycle is
to be tricycle., states the Chicago
Times-Herald. The vehicle will have
two seats, one for the driver and one
for the passenger. This will save the
expense of keeping e horse and give
the cabman needed exercise. 1t is
conceivable that two sets of pedals
might be provided and reduced rates
given to sturdy passengers who would
help push themselves.

A STUPENDOUS FEAT.
ReeIaiminq $50 Square Miles Of
Land Now Under Water,

LdIu NO" SnQSr Wdters
One OF the most stupendous feats
in engineering which the world has
ever seen is proposed by the people of
Holland, being nothing less than the
reclamation of the waters submerged
by the Zuyder Zee. The scheme, if
carried out, will result in recovering
about 750 square miles of land now
under water and will add new prov
ince to the country. 1t is estimated
that the work will cost over $780,
600, 900, and will require 33 years of
constant labor. The Dutch Govern
ment has recently received favor
able report on the plans from the
ROYAL commission appointed to look
into the project, and it is re ported
that the government and many of the
leading citizens of Holland consider
the scheme practicable. In the ex-
pansion of territory, in the increase
of trade and agriculture, and in the
giving to thousands of people the op-
portunity of profitable employment,
the project, though q stupendous
and very costly one, will be one that
will recommend itself to most Hol-
landers.

1t will be remembered that Chas.
M. Meacham, delegate from Chris
tian county, proposed in the Eddy
vile convention to rest Judge Nor
rows claim to the nomination on the
decision of Chairman Long on the
unit rule question. This proposition
was declined by the Linn men and
Judge Morrow was deprived of l 1926
votes in Lyon county by the enforce
ment of the unit rule. Since the
convention adjourned Chairman Long
has been asked to officially rule upon
the disputed question. His ruling is
herewith given and it sustains the
views taken by Morrow's friends up
on every point, and leaves nothing
for Judge Linn to do but withdraw
from the race. Neither he nor his
friends can afford to make contest
against Judge Morrow in the face of
this ruling, which says in effect that
Judge Morrow was honestly and fair
ly nominated. No man can hope to
win with any shadow on his claim to
the nomination and having been
squarely beaten Judge Linn should
gracefully accept the decision of the
highest party authority and retire
from the contest and let the commit
tee meet and declare Judge Morrow
the nominee. Here is the official
ruling which speaks for itself:
LOUISVILLE, KY, July II, 1895.
Hon. Chas. M. Meacham,
Hopkinsville, Ky.
Dear Sir:-Yours of 18th received,
covering the question Can delegate
vote as he pleases when his delega-
ton is instructed to vote as unit?"
In answer to the above, the accept
ed rulings in all of our Democratic
State Conventions for long number
of years and since the State Conven-
ton held in this city and presided
over by Hon. Jno. W. Stevenson,
which you doubtless remember, was
and is that DELEGATE CAN VOTE AS
HE PLEAsEs REGARDLESS OF UNIT RULE
OR INSTRUCTIONS, and that it is not the
province of Democratic State Conven
tions to limit or restrict delegates in
the exercise of all and equal rights as
such, and in the event of his disre-
garding instructions from his county
or constituent Democrats he is alone |
answerable to them, and of which
aud about which Democratic State
Conventions cannot properly take
Hon. Jno. W. Stevenson and all
other chairmen of our Democratic
State Conventions succeeding him
have, SO far as l cow call to mind, SO
decided, and were sustained by each
Convention in most emphatic man
ner. 1t is not the duty or right of a
presiding officer to abridge or restrict
the equal right of any delegate, but
respect all accordingly. To do other
wise would manifestly, however
honest and pure his motives might be,
lay himself open to just criticism, as
favoring some special candidate or
question at issue pending, whereas on
the other hand he would rightly leave
all such matters of responsibility to
the delegates themselves, who should
alone be held responsible for their
acts as such. This is the ruling of
our party in State Conventions and l
shall uphold it.
