THE F,F1v-rAmp CONGRESS.
Passing Of the Worst Body In the Hlntory
OF tho Nation.


Passing Of the Worst Body in the Hirtory
OF tho Nation.
The Fifty-third congress is ended.
In its passing republicans and demo-
Gratis alike rejoice. 1t has done little
that is good and much that is bad. 1t
has plunged the country into depres-
sion without reason, and has shown
itself unwilling to take action every
where recognized IS necessary and
country in fever of apprehension,
simply because it had theories which
it desired to exploit, and which the
plain sense of the people repudiated.
1t upset a tariff law under which
American industries We're prospecting
as never before, and substituted one
framed under conditions full of scam
DIAL Even the democratic president
felt impelled to denounce the dicker-
ing with the sugar trust, but he had
not the courage to veto the result Of
the deal.
For the first time in a generation,
the democrats held full control of all
departments of the government, and it
was expected that they would develop
a consistent policy. In anticipation
of the changes business halted and
panic came. The administration said
the silver purchase law was response
BILE, and the republicans humored it
to the extent Of assisting in it's repeal.
Matters did not mend, and then it was
said that only tariff reform could bring
renewed prosperity. That was en-
acted, and still depression fingered.
So the administration turned to the
currency as the root of all the evil, and
called for legislation reviving wildcat
banking and generally revolutionizing
currency matters. Before that meas
ure could be acted upon modification
came from the administration. Then
came another and still another, and it
became evident that if the democratic
leaders knew what was the trouble
they were determined not to admit it.
The juggling and jumbling went on
until the climax was reached in a secret
bond contract which will cost the
country from ten to sixteen million
dollars.

Fifty-third congress- record of COM
plete and disastrous failure, record
marked with accompanying business
disaster and general industrial de-
preston, record which must forever
stand as proof that the democratic
party has not the intelligence to under
stand the needs of great government
or the good sense to accept wise coun-
sci when it is offered. 1t is a costly
lesson the people have learned, but
they have learned it thoroughly.
Not all democrats are of this incap-
able kind, but the dominating influ-
ence in their party is ignorant of many
things and unsound on all the sub
jects it pretends to understand. So
strong is the proof Of this that good
democrats the country over are re-
joicing to-day that the democratic con-
gress is no more, and that its successor
will be under the control of the party
which carried the government through
the trials OF great civil war and adj
vanced it to q leading place among the
prosperous and happy nations of the
earth.

Most people do not know plant has
lungs, but it has, and its lungs are in its
leaves. Examined through high

thousands upon thousands of openings,

The Discreditcd Democracy in Search OF q
Leader.
The memory of the oldest inha bitant
runneth not back to the time when,
within year of the time for selecting
delegates TO national convention, the
democratic party was talking of no
candidate. Do you realize the fact
that there are no bids as yet for the
democratic presidential nomination
next year? Strange it is, but there is
not solitary aspirant who commands
any following whatever.
Cleveland is retired in disgrace, even
did not the third term objection run
against him.
Prof Wilson is discredited, defeated
in his own district, rejected by the peo-
pie, and not a voice is raised to speak
of him even as possibility.
EX-Gov. Pattison, of nnsylvania,
went down into oblivion when he at
tempted to run for mayor of Philadel-
phia, and met such signal and stun
ming defeat. A man who is turned
down by his state and then by his city
is discrcdited politically.
German is out of the question.
Hill has the ambition, but half his
party is ready to knife him. and he
could no more get the nomination than
he could fly to the moon.
Gray is dead, Voorhees, out of the
line, Vest and Bland defeated and re-
tired to private life, with none so low
as to do them reverence.
Stevenson, the only Adlai, really
bankers after the nomination, but his
aspirations only make people smile.
He is too light weight, even for the
democratic donkey.
Whitney-well, does anyone suppose
a Wall street magnate and Standard
Oil chief as well, could be nominated,
or elected if nominated?
Russell-William T., of Massachu-
setts-has dropped out of sight He
was at best but q meteor flashing
athwart the political sky.
Verify the democratic party-what
there is left of it's like the Israelites
in the wilderness, only without Moses.

lead them over the desert they must
cross in 1S96.-Toledo Blade.

Douglass Tribune: Do you pretend to
believe that this country had ga safe
currency during all the years previous to
1892" Do you want anyone to admit
that this country had safe. solid and
sub stantial currency any one year until
1879. when the republican party had sue
ceeded in making it safe: Prior to 1873
we had gold dollars worth one amount,
silver dollars worth another amount and
paper dollars of variatlng value. Prior
to the time the republican party came
into power the currency was in even
worse shape. Local bank notes were in
circulation all over the country, but were
only worth what the taker would allow
for them.

ers and industries and everybody will
have employment at good wages; and
we will collect enough revenue from for
eigners who want TO dump their goods
on our shore to pay the revenues and
leave a surplus, as it was under the re-
publican administration. There was
plenty of money in 81 and '93 and We
were making use of she American out
put of silver, and this country had its
highest prosperity because the people
were employed.

NJ. b. TOmblin, member State Board
of Irrigation: A 16 foot back geared,
modern made steel windmill will operate
6 inch tubular well at depth of 200
feet and will pump enough water to irri-
gate at least 10 acres of ground, this
same mill will at depth of 100 feet
operate pump that will irrigate at least
20 acres Of ground, and at so feet, if the
water supply is sufficient, it will pump
enough to irrigate 40 acres. This is 10

ing done in various parts of the state.

Newton Journal: The one great trou-
bic with great majority Of the people
of the west is that they do not look
rightly upon the subject Of irrigation.
1t is well known fact that the majority
Of the farmers of Kansas attempt to
cultivate too much ground. One hundred
and sixty acres is often attempted when
sixty should receive the same attention
and would yield just as much. They ex-
pect to irrigate OH the same basis, bu: it
won't work. The water supply seems to
bother many. The fact Of the case is
that it don't take fourth as much water
as most people imagine. 1t is more the
cultivation than the water. Some years
no water whatever will be needed,
OTHERS it will.

A Big Fiywhcel OF Wire.

Among the most recent and novel ap-
plications Of wire. perhaps none has
greater interest to the mechanical world
thar that presented by the wire flywheel
lately erected at the Mannesmann Tube
c~ompany's works. Germany. Heavy fly
wheels, driven at high veIocities, OBJ
viously present dangers Of breaking
asunder from the great centrifugal force
developed. The wheel at the factory
mentioned consists of q cast iron hub or
boss. to which two steel plate disks or
checks, about 90 feet in diameter, are
bolted. The peripheral space between
the disks is filed n with somo 20 tons
Of No. . steel wire, completely wound
round the hub, and the tensile resistance
thus obtained is far superior to any cast
ing.
This hinge aywheel is driven at a
speed Of 24O revolutions Per minute, or
a periphoral velocity Of about 2.S miles
per minute (250 feet per second ap-
r~roximately), which is nearly three
times the average speed Of any express
train in the world. The length Of wire
upon such a constructed fywheel would
be about $50 miles. The use Of paper is
also regarded with favor as q face for
large fiywLoels, TIE tensile strength OF
paper being enormous, and it is quite

Tho important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
v~estisatcd the Subject with scientific OK
actness That only about 6 or s per cent
Of the total heat value OF coal is utilized
in an engine Ivy heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1909 degrees Of heat, or heat units
not degrees of telnperature-to change
ono pound of water into steam, while
during the absorption Of this amount of
heat tho temperature of the water re-
mains at 2l2 degrees. This immense
amount of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer.
Scientific authorities explain the cause
of this loss in the steam engine as due
to the fact that the $50 degrees absorbed
by water in being transferred into steam
-21a degrees are apparent upon a ther-
momoter, and which, added to 900,
make UP the l,202 degrees above men

Tho writer OF "Secrets In SPAIN"
tells in the pages Of Tho New Review
how ministers were sometimes made
under tho regime of Queen Isabella Of

The story is as follows: NJ. Y. had
gone Il day to pay q casual visit to
one Of his friends. To his surprise he
found his friend very much occupied.
Excuse me-" said he, ''but 1 am very
busy today. But if you have nothing to
do come along with me-" where arc
you going:" II have been SUMMONED
to the palace" They set eff together.
AT the palace one was conducted to the
presence Of the queen, while tho other
waited in tie antcrOom. There was a
lengthy sitting in tho queens cabinet,
a rev ministry being in of for
nation.
1t was very cold and drafty in tho an
teroom, and the man who was waiting
began to grow very impatient, as he felt
q cold i'll the head coming OH. "Whom
shall we appoint TO the e~xchelucr?
Whom to the Fomorso? Whom to the

Gradually after much discussion the
ministry was built up bit by bit. There
was now only the colonial minister

shall we appoint colonial minister" No

low to Clean Old Book Plates,

To restore old book plates that have
been injured by age and damp proceed
as follows: Place upon Il fat surface a
sheet Of white paper, somewhat larger
han the print to be cleaned. Carefully
dampen tic print ON both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate it
with a mixture Of chloride of lime and
oxaiic acid dissolved in about equal pro-
portions in a pint Of cold water. You
can tell when the mixture is right by
its turning magenta color. Continue to
apply it until every stain or spot has
disappeared, and then with a clean
sponge wash the print freely with cold
water.-Art American.
