tincally Considered.
Aside from the comfort, convenience
snd pleasure of good roads, their COM
nercial value in saving or increasing
the efficiency of tractive power will
demonstrate their utility.
Comparison of tractive power neces-,
sary to draw given load under sim
llar conditions will give basis for
Judging the merits of different materi-
bis for road covering.
Experiments have been made by
eminent engineers on this line, and the
results epitomized in Trautwine EngiL
beers Book and other standard works.
The results given below were ascer-'
tained by the use of a dynanometer.
The roads were practically level and a
speed of about three-quarters miles
per hour was used in making the OBJ
servations.
The roads were newly constructed
and in fair condition.
A four-wheeled wagon, 21s-inch tire,
was used.
The weight of the load, including
wagon, was one ton. The tractive
force is given in pounds.

= The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact,
as rule, they are not. What is want.
ed is something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is ac-
knowledged everywhere to be the sue
cessful remedy in the world for bowel
complaints. Ask any number of drug
gists for the best remedy they have for
diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking Of this medicine Mr.. B. B.
Buffum, Of Friendsville, Suspuehan-
ma County, Pennsylvania, says: "We
have used it in our family for pain in
the stomach, collie and diarrhoea, and
found it to be the most effective rem
edy." For sale by all druggists.

Those who claim that the free sill
verites are bimetallists, are claiming
that which is not warranted by facts.
The true bimetallists are the so called
gold standard countries. In Mexico,
China, Japan and India, all silver
countries, there is no gold money
in use at all. In Germany,
Belgium, france, Switzerland, Uni
ted States. (all of which are gold
standard countries) there is a very
large amount of the money of the
people, legal tender silver. This coun.
try has over half billion silver lie.
gal tender and yet we are told that
silver is demonitized. Bimetalism is
disowned in the free silver countries
and only obtains in gold standard ma
tions.

The appointment of Governor Fran
els, of the state of Missouri, to the
place in the cabinet made vacant by
the resignation of Hoke Smith, comes
very suddenly. 1t shows that Grover
was not unprepared for the change,
also that he is not unwilling to shower
his party favors upon the south. Mr..
Francis has not expressed himself on
the currency question heretofore and
now he does not have to. He has long
been highly regarded by the presi-
dent and his appointment is approved.

Bryan has not yet accepted the ten
der of the Populist support and there
is strong feeling among the leaders
of that party that if recognition does
not come, Reputation must follow.
Bryan is playing sharp in not dealing
with the Populistic nomination, but
that stick is sharpened at both ends,
and it may be that the Nebraska Pop
ocrat will find it hard to lean on.

Waco sound money Democrats will
give little aid or comfort to the enemy
They will put no state ticket in the
field nor will they divert any of their
strength into channels calculated to
aid the silver Democrats to gain pos
session of the state government. 1t is
said that there will be no fusion but
there will be all the moral support
that can be given sound money prin-
ciples and people. This is all that is
being considered at present, how best
to do it.

Those Indiana school teachers who

Those Indiana school teachers who
insist in having their wages paid in
gold or its equivalent are all right, but
but there is no reason for the demand
Just now, unless they intend to go in
to the gold boarding business. Their
silver or silver certificates will ans
wer every purpose, and If these teach
ers and other intelligent people of the
country, do their duty between now
and next November, it will answer for
four years longer. There is nothing
the matter at present with the silver
issues of the government, nor will
there be until the free silverites get
in their work. There is not much like
lyhood of this being done, however,
and the best way to prevent it is not
to ask for gold but to work for the
sound money ticket and policy.

Every day the feeling deepens in the
Populist mind that Watson is the
proper man to put before the people as
the running mate of the silverites to
Bryan. If Sewall is not traded off for
Watson pretty soon, the Sewall name
will come down from the Populist
ticket and that of Bryan will follow
suit. The Populists are getting up on
their ear over that matter.

The sound money Democrats of

Gold standard Democrats in conven-
ton assembled, and what follows af-
ter that is of secondary consideration.
