people and what few news

played more or less zeal and ear

THE SOUTH A POLITICAL FACTOR
IN THE COMING ELECTION.

The anomalous condition of af-
fairs in the south for the past
thirty years, which have caused
the national leaders of the republic
can party to devote their efforts
and energies toward carrying the
western states, entirely ignoring
those OF the south, promise to I'M
dergo a radical change in the i'm
pending campaign. The causes
which have led to this condition and
which have resulted in suppress
ing the voice of honest republican
ism in the south and depriving a
large element of the party from
any participation in the fruits of
victory, are directly due and trace
able to the dominance of a pur-
chaseable leadership which, sub
ordinating principle to pelf, has
always held itself in readiness to
dispose Of the rank and file of
the party to the highest and best
bidder. So notorious has this dis
reputable practice prevailed In the
past, that southern republicans
and southern delegates to ma.
tional conventions have come
to be looked upon much
as a marketable commodity,
ready to be delivered to whom
soever shall bid last and best. Re-
publican sentiment, however, has
become aroused to the disgraceful
condition Of affairs, and In Texas,
as in Tennessee, Louisiana, Ken
lucky, North Carolina and other
southern states, there is a quiet
but settled determination that the
leaders-black and yellow as we'll
as white-who have so long
traded and barterod upon the re-
publican vote Of the state,
shall be curtailed Of their
powers il not boldly and I'M
equivocally repudiated. This
feeling and determination is not
confined to Texas, but is general
throughout the south. Especially
in Tennessee, has the spirit OF re-
volt and characterization against
selfish and dishonest leadership as
serted itself, and measures adopted
to secure an honest and free ex-
preston Of the party's will. In
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
Of February 10 appears communi-
cation from South Pittsburg, Tenn,
from which the following excerpt
is taken: ... ....
"The condition of affairs in the
South Ia the past has not been
such as to create or command the
respect Of the party at large. The
leaders Of the respective states
have not conducted campaigns
with view to winning success.
The organizations, instead of being
formed with q view to promote the
general interest and success of
republican principles and doctrines,
have been to strengthen the hold
OF the leaders upon the successful

This question raised in my mind and

pronontory opposite the little fishing town OF Sal

thistles His flower for this outing was evidently
the knapweed, and when he had exhausted ali lis
blossoms IN the immediate neehborhood he was
begued by similarity In color into trying a thistle
but, on agntlns. he instantly discovered his mis-.
take. and flew about looking for knapweed
which he might easily have found by dying a few
yards further. Instead however he returned 70 the

instantly obeyed.
These little bumble-bees we'll repay the time spent
on watching their small. busy lives. On another

TYPES OF TURBINES AND DYNAMOS.
One Of the first matters to be disposed of was
the choice OF the type of waterwheel to he
used. II was decided that a certain style of
turbine made in Switzerland should be adopted
A number Of these. each capable OF developing
1000 horsepower. and all rotating like tops on
vertical axes. were to be arranged side by side
in one wheelpit. Then great deal Of atten-
ton given TO the question Of the means TO
be employed in transmitting the power. When
once developed Electricity carried the day. and
then. as a matter OF course Gor transmission
purposes the alternating current was preferred
TO the direct Tesla's "poyphase" system Of
operating motors with alternating currents was
then chosen. The dynamos which were de-
signed by Georg. Forbes. OF London. and made
by Westinghouse after the plans had been
modified considerably were each to have a
capacity OF 5000 horse-po

ASTONIsHMENT EXCUsABLE IN 1877.
Such astonishment was excusable, however
The dynamo which is machine for converting
power into electricity. had scarcely been heard OF
in 1877. To be sure. Gramme's devic, was then
ten years old. but it was an exceedingly crude
affair. Not until Werner Won Siemens. Brush
Edison and others had improved it greatly did
the dynamo prove a serviceabe instrument
The electric motor, which was destined to trans
form electricity back again into power, and
thus run millions of other machines, was at
that time virtually unknown. The trolley sys
TEN was not dreamed of. Almost the only
proposed practical application made Of the out
put of dynamo to electric lighting, and
this had hardly got beyond the experimental
stage. The incandescent lamp had not made its
appearance Effort was directed entirely to
perfecting the light at that time. Brush
was at work on it in 1876 and in 1871 the
predecessor of the arc the Jablochkoff candle
was first publicly tried in certain buildings In
Paris. In the laboratories of chemists electro
lysis had been effectual in purifying a few
metals: but no attempt to use the process on a
commercial basis had been made. In fact the
only actual service Of electricity found in
telegraphy medical practice and electro-plating;
and in these arts the old chemical battery. and
not a dynamo. generated the necessary current.
Moreover it is feasible to-day to transmit ten
times the horsepower suggested in SIR VIII
iams address, for the same distance over con-
ductors containing less than one-fifteenth oi
the metal which contemplated In MS
scheme No wonder that his hearers were
startled!
SIEMENSS IDEA ELSEWHERE
Before considering the history and present
condition Of the Niagara power plant more In
detail it is interesting to survey hastily the
way in which Sir William Siemens's advice has
been acted upon elsewhere chiefly within the
last five years. In a recent paper on the DIE
tribution and Transmission OF Electrica! En-
ergy." DR.. Louis Duncan mentioned twenty
seven different lines established for TINS pur-
pose in America and Europe. and already In
