Electricity has not entered con-
spicuously into the construction of BIZ
cycles, owing to the fact that any
thing which adds to the weight is not
desirable. A New York man, how
ever, has perfected an electric bicycle
having a storage battery, motor, and
a switchboard, and which is regarded
with much favor in wheeling circles.
The battery, known as the dry chic
ride, weighs fifteen pounds. This, ap-
piled to a wheel with a motor and
switchboard, brings the weight of the
wheel to sixty pounds. which is much
lighter than any of the devices used
in previous experiments. The battery
and motor are attached to the bars
below the saddle, and the switchboard
is near the handlebar. 1t is claimed
that this machine is capable Of great
speed. 1t is particularly advantageous
in ascending hills and riding over
rough roads. Means for regulating
speed are provided, and If desired the
electricity can be used to light an in
candescent lamp at night. The sp-
paratus is said to be inexpensive, and
can be easily applied or removed with
out the slightest injury to the wheel.

The development of electrical power
is making such strides that railroad
authorities admit that some of the
great systems of the country may with
in the near future adopt it in place of
steam. The master mechanic Of the
Pennsylvania railroad is quoted as
saying that the successful transmits
sion of electrical power over long lines
has practically shown that the great
culm piles in the Pennsylvania an
thrcite regions may be utilized in gen.
Grating electricity. This opens up an
immense field for electrical develop
ment. Numerous gentlemen promi-
nent in railway service have confessed
quite change in their opinions dur
ing the past few months in regard to
the feasibility of the electrical locomo-
tive, and we hear that some OF the lead
ing roads are soon to make wide ex"
tensions in this direction.

gradually ruting INTO q party IT, hold the
last defenses Of privilege. And this reacts
in more than one way - our advantage,
for it induces sincere Republicans to recon-
slider their position toward Socialism. It
is we'll remarked that Paris no longer stands
alone, as in 1871. the departments are with
her. 1.-THE Socialist peril has not dis
appeared, - says the Steele; 1.-THE Social
lists have made new conquests and new re-
cruits amongst the electors. "
A few more isolated contests may be
noticed, to conclude this analysis:
Romilly-Four more Socialist elected at
second ballot.
Fourmies-Three more Socialists elected.
They have the majority.
Creil-Thirteer out Of twenty .tlnes seats
Socialist.
Pouilly sur Loire-Eighteen Socialists
out of twenty beat old Opportunist
council with 100 majority.
Begles-Twenty Parti Ouvrier $500
votes), seven Progressists.
st. Fiorine-Fourteen Parti Ouvrier,
seven Opportunists.
st. Fargeau-Thirteen Socialists elected
majority of council.
Chateau Regnault-Ten Socialists; ma
jority.
The Royalist town of Peyrelevade has
elected twelve Socialists (only sixteen
seats.)
Argues Mortes-Six Parti Ouvrier seats
eljaloux-Eleven Parti Ouvrier cleo
ted; majority
Suresnes-Eleven Socialists elected with
103 majority; three Radicals, 900.
Les Cabares. Eight Socialists; four
Reactionists.
Other entire Socialist lists carried were
those Of Chateaurenard QsO majority over
retiring Opportunists), st. Hippolyte- du
Fort (l50 majority Callian Bize Socialist
list elected without opposition), villalier.
Such are some of the results of con-
test in which our party has to fight its
way through a maze Of local interests, and
across distractions Of personal influence
less potential in larger battles.
In leaving the subject of the 1896
elections, the regret may be repeated that
the ascertainable results are so incomplete
in number, and that SO many promising
places were left uncontested by the Social
ist party. Enough we know to prove that
France is keeping time with Germany and
Belgium and Italy in the great European
progress,

The conversation appears to have been
brief, but to the point-chiefly to the
point of a revolver held by Mrs. Hull.

Mrs. Hull said they were not going out
and took careful aim at the leader.
Then the five said on reflection they
thought they would go back, and Mrs.

The Leather Trust and Its Influence
on the Shoe Making Industry.
In May, 1892, there was formed in the
United States a syndicate comprising 80
per cent of the tanners, manufacturers and
dealers in leather, with capital Of SEQ,
600, 600 for the purpose Of controlling the
two great leather markets Of Buenos Ayres
and Montevideo. The price Of skins in the
United States have in consequence risen
100 per cent and leather 200 per cent.
Whilst from the month Of January to the
end Of July, the syndicate has gained e.
GOO, 900. Let us see what has been the
condition of the workers whilst the capital
its have been thus gorging themselves with
their millions Until the formation Of this
syndicate the shoemaker had shillings
for making a pair of shoes. To-day the
price varies from shillings and 6pence to
1 shilling and pence. But this is not all.
This trust, which has swept in all the
leather in the markets of Europe, alike at
Antwerp, Paris, Havre and London; and
which has trebled the price Of that COM
modify, has been veritable calamity for
the shoemakers and the other workers in
leather In tle district of Parmases, in
Germany, where all the inhabitants, men,
women and children, are employed in the
boot making industry, the rise of 80 per
cent in the price of boots has caused Or
ders to fall off, and very severe want OF
employment is the result. This want of
employment has, moreover, been produced
in all countries alike. The rise in leather
has been so sudden that dealers have been
unable to take measures Of preservation.
Some makers have entered into contracts at
a low price for the supply Of accoutrements
to the army, police, ETC. For them the
rise has been disastrous; the same applies
to many large manufacturers of boots, etc.,
who have taken large orders. And why
this crisis? Why are these miseries, these
misfcrtunes and the disasters and despsra-
ton they produce? Simply that several
avGicious spectators can accumulate
millions which produce, and which they
themselves Intentionally use to produce,
the ruin Of others.
