The Ferris Wheel ontdone.

At the time of the Chicago World 5
Fair long discussion occupied the col
umns of the Chicago papers over the novel
attraction which might equal the Eifel
tower at the Paris exposition. There
were all kinds of propositions, none of
which seemed feasible until the Ferris
wheel became reality and 1t was ques-
the French are planning another world S
fair, to be held In 1900, the same question
must be solved by them. 1t will be a
case of out t-Heroding Herod. A London
correspondent of the New YORK Sun tells
how 1t is to be done:
A voyage to the moon is the latest pro-
ject which is seriously put forward as the
browning point of the exhibition of
1900. NJ. Mantois, its author, does not
propose TO carry passengers to the lunar
regions in an aerial car, but he expects to
bring down the moon to the reach of peo-
pie whose vision extends say, six miles
from the earth. The plan is to construct
telescope nearly 200 feet in length. The
objective glass will have diameter of
something over four feet three inches, the
largest in the world. The colossal tube
will be placed horizontally, and the image
Of the moon will be reflected by what is
termed mirror plane, six feet in dame
ter and fifteen inches thick. The weight
would be s, 900 pounds The special feat
ure Of the idea is that the image of the
moon should be thrown upon screen
placed in hall large enough to hold 900
spectators Astronomers calculate that
with an apparatus of these dimensions 1t
will be possible to discern easily objects of
the size of the Notre Dame Cathedral
towers, and to distinguish the evolutions
of "a lunar regiment. Should the opening
of the twentieth century be signalized by
volcanic eruptions in the Mountains of
the Moon visitors to the exhibition would
have grand spectacle.
In the short time which has elapsed
since the record breaking Lick telescope
was constructed, we have had such a
rapid advance in this department Of hui
man endeavor that we can look on this
French achievement as simply an Incl
dent In the advance yet to be made.

A Million BICYCLES.

Harper's Weekly brings out the sinteres-
ting facts that this country now has in
use not less than,a million bicycles; that
the yearly sales:are about one half mil
lion; that the annual sales amount to
fifty million dollars 1t is not necessary
to take into account an almost equal de.
velopment in both England and France to
realize the significance of such informa-
tion. While we do not agree with Miss
Anthony inIher sententious assertion that
woman is riding to suffrage on bicy-
cle," we do marvel at the changes so sud
denly wrought in our hum drum old
world by the successor of the crude veloci.
pede of twenty-five years ago. The most
important Of these changes is a develop
ment Of a love of outdoor life, which
bids fair to become not only national, but
international, and which in turn will
bring in it's train innumerable blessings.
Coincidently with the above development
will come an unshackling of women from
the bonds of conservatism in the matter
of dress IA broadening of our views in
treating the woman question:" par
tial emancipation of the horse from
drudgery and the diversion of many mil
ions of capital each year from less whole
some forms of amusements.
The Importance of these results to the
future good of the race in this country
can best be understood when we reflect on
the passing of the farm as it was known
in the first three -fifths of this century.
The farm was where most Of us laid in
our stores of energy to be used in after
life in struggle for existence in towns
and cities. The bicycle arrives in time to
save us from rapid deterioration in
physique by taking us out of ourselves
back into the country, where we can again
establish relations with fresh air, sun
shine, good cooking and exercise.

Progress in Car Propulsion.

The overhead trolley seems to have
reached the limit of its growth in large
cities, and from this out will gradually
be superseded by the underground conduct
or. The objection to the overhead troll
ley Is that 1t Is dangerous obstruction
especially in such narrow streets as city
like Baltimore possesses. If the wires
break they are menace to life and in
case of fires they cause serious losses by
impeding the work of the fire department
Both the General Electric and Westing-
house companies are hard at work on un-
derground systems, the former having
adopted the Buda Pesth plan, which they
have perfected, already having a line
working nicely in Washington. On the
subject the Baltimore Sun observes:
AS the Buda Pesth road has stood the
test of operation, winter and summer,
under all conditions of weather, with
profit to its owners and satisfaction to the
public, there is every reason to expect the
experiment at the national capital to be
business success. New York has plan
of dispensing with the overhead trolley
without the use of underground conduit,
and this, too, promises to be n practical
success In this case the current Is to be
brought to the surface at points few feet
apart and is to be taken up by long strip
of copper beneath the car. The length of
the strip Is such that wherever the car
may be the strip will always be in con-
tact with two "live" points and be re-
ceiving current. Practical difficulties
present themselves in the application Of
this plan, but they are believed to have
been overcome. In any event. the pro-
gressive cities of this country, and Balti-
more among the rest, will probably soon
have before them to choose from two OF
more commercially practicable systems OF
propulsion by electricity without the obi
Gus and dangerous overhead trolley wire.
The live points" spoken of by the Sun
are not "alive" except when they are In
contact with the car. This seems to be q
long step in advance the chief objection
to underground conduotion always hav
ing been the expense of the .sub-struc
| ture.

For All the PeOnle.

The city of Springfield acquitted herself
nobly in entertaining the democratic con-
vention and If she is somewhat puffed
up 1t is only natural and just. One point
that was generally commented on to the
oity's advantage and credit was the fact
that prices for meals and hotel accommo-
dations were not boosted up to the skies.
The good people down there did not aim
to grow rich in two days; they aimed to
entertain the democracy and did so.

watterson on Cleveland.

Holland, A" the interesting and well.
informed New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, tries to summarize
the sentiment for and against third
term for Mr.. Cleveland. After saying
that nobody who has reached New York
yet apparently. knows anything about the
possibility OF a third term party, he says
:" A prominent citizen from Georgia
declares that Mr.. Cleveland could not car
ry that state If he were to be nominated
for fourth time, and this opinion, with
that recently given by Henry Watterson,
to the effect that Mr.. Cleveland would, II
nominated again, be defeated in every
congressional district In the United
States are the only expressions Of any
value, because they are the only ones
which are categorical aud positive upon

1t is pretty tough ON Sheriff Doll when
paper like the Repository says he is CEN
sured, but can explain his actions to any
one who will call. If there is any posi-
BILE explanation to make, let the Reposi-
tory speak right out in school, and give
the story, 1t is public matter, and the
story should not be told behind closed
doors. 1t was not generally expected the
Repository would admit the sheriff had
not done his duty, and the reason for so
doing is apparent. That private explana-
tion won't fool the people, as they want
facts.

Boil the Canton Drinking Water.

The genuine note of alarm which sew
eral Canton physicians sounded in our
columns Saturday in regard to prospec-
tive typhoid fever epidemic, should arouse
everybody to prompt action.
We feel perfectly safe In making the as
serton that any one who is stricken with
this dread disease, unless they be chill
own gross carelessness. In the case of
children, the responsibility rests with the
parents
No modern theory of disease has be-
come more thoroughly established than
the one that typhoid fever is caused by
disease germ which is known as the
typhoid bacillus.
This disease germ, If found in either
drinking water or milk, can be killed
with heat.
During period when typhoid. fever OF
any other zymotic disease is present in q
community, all drinking water should bt
religiously boiled. When cool it can be
aerated by being turned from one pai
into another, and thus restored to It's orig
inal taste Milk should be sterilized by Q
similar process. Theipail containing the
milk should be set in vessel containing
water, and the latter heated to the boiling
point The mil, of course, is not boiled.
Simple as these processes;are, Uhey are
of vital Importance and no man or wo
man who clamis to be intelligent should
risk health and life by neglecting them
We know families that drink nothing
but boiled water the year round. They
place too high value on the lives Of deal
ones to omit for a moment the ounce o.
prevention.

lanes E. Campbell For Governor.

The democracy of Ohio has called on
her favorite son James K. Campbell of
Busler to once again lead the columns
against the enemy. There is no doubt but
that Mr.. Campbell is the most popul Ar
democrat in Ohio. He has served the
state once and made a magnificent record
for honesty patriotism and devotion to his
official duties He is besides a pure and
a clean man. He Is a man of lofty ideas
and noble purposes. He is also true
blue American and is never happier than
when lifting his voice in behalf of the
stars and the stripes. James K. Campbell
Is man of superior personality and abil-
ity His record in public life is above re-
proach; his positions have always been on
the side of right-on the side of the peo-
pie For these things he is loved and re-
spected, and the democracy of Ohio was
only too glad to have him againIat the
head of the ticket.
James E. C9mpbell did not seek the
nomination. The people sought him.
He repeatedly declared that he preferred
to attend TO his business affairs, but the
party thought otherwise, land Yin accept
Ing the honor he said "a good soldier
may fall but he dare not falter. 1 prom
ise not to falter and it is for you to say
whether in the end I shall or shall mot
fall. +"
This is grand sentiment from grand
man. Mr.. Campbell has, sacrificed much
to heed his party's call, and 1t ought now
to be the pleasure and duty of every dem
ocrat to see that he does not fall. Let us
all, as democ cats, put our shoulders to
tie wheel Let us put aside every ex-
traneous issue and with a com mon will,
work like good soldiers to achieve a VIC
tory for the entire ticket, from James e.
Campbell to the bottom.

that subject. Not visitor here has been
heard to say, as far as we know, that he
and the people Of his vicinity would re-
fuse to support a third term candidate.
Not one, excepting this Georgia polite
ian, has put the finger Of reproach up
against that sentiment On the other
hand, scarcely eny one has been heard TO
speak in favor of the suggestion. Mr..
Whitney, in fact, came as near doing so,
apparently, as any man Of prominence
has done.
while we are neither for nor against
the denomination of Mr.. Cleveland, pre-
ferring to wait until the situation devel-
ops further and the party is heard from,
yet we would not be influenced by any.
thing said on the subject by Henry Wat
terson. He was one of the democrats who
advised strongly against the nomination
of Mr.. Cleveland for the present term,
arguing strenuously and repeatedly that
he would be defeated. Bourke Cochran
did the same thing In fact no man
could be nominated without being sur
rounded by croakers There Is but one
question to be considered, and that is,
who is the strongest democrat before the
country Many think Mr.. Cleveland is
among themsSenator Quay, Of Pennsylva-
MIA and ex-Seoretary Whitney. Others,
Of high standing in the party, favor Will
liam H. Morrison, of Illinois. Among
these is Senator Hill, of New York. We
regard Mr.. Morrison's candidacy with
great favor. He is an able, sound money,
tariff reform democrat with good SOL

All signs pointed to the nomination of
Mr., Campbell this year With another
election as governor to his credit, and he
will have very enviable position as a
national figure. No better year could be
chosen for another contest at the polls
than this, following as it does the phe-
nomenal defeat of the party last year. So
unpopular is the Foraker rule within the
republican party that Campbell has the
chance of his life in this year of grace,

The path of progress is strewn with the
wreck of special interest. Thus, when the
time came to make chairs by machinery,

hurt by the long-distance telephones.

metropolis for the times, fewer must be

Times must be getting better. New

dollars on skating rink, in which 1000

Now, when there is a chance for New
York to get justice of the supreme
court, the fear is expressed that the presi-
dent will pass his own state by and allow
the odium to rest on Senator Hill, the ar
gument being that after being slapped
twice by the senate, at the instance of
Senator Hill, the president should not set
himself up for this punishment third
time. But all such speculations tend to
relieve the chronic dullness of dog days
without proving anything. We shall
know something more on this point later.
