a PRIZE PLANK.

Z 4
The Minneapolis fines, a Dem
ocratic paper with republican con-
stitution and temperament, offers
a prize for the best proposed plank
for the republican party to put i'll
Its platform at St. Louis. The
PIONEER, a republican paper with
lout any democratic instincts,
tenders to the careful considera-
tion Of its contemporary tie fol-
lowing:
The republican party believes in
the coinage of both gold and silver
at ratio Of is to ], but it does not
Ibelieve that the name or bullion
oSner should pocket the differenc.
tbetween the coined and the market
value of the metals. 1t does be-
lieve that the whole people should
have the benefit of a seignorage
represented by the margin that
shall at any time exist between
the face value Of the coin and the
market value Of the bullion. And
the republican party further be
lieyes that allissues of bank eur
reney should be upon the basis of
an equal amount Of coined gold
and silver i'll vaults, under govern
mental control, the two metals to
be equally represented III such re-
serve security
In offering this seriously as a
plank for the republican platform
the PIONEER recognizes that it
will suit neither the free silver.
crowd nor the gold standard and
bond-issuing element, neither one
of whom is willing to compromise
on anything sensible. Yet it. is
apparent there must be either a
compromise or q total swallowing
up of one or the other. If this
plank were used as a policy Of
government, every dollar would
continue to be as good as every
dollar, at home or abroad. and MI
our mines would be sending their
life blood into the veins of our.
commercial, manufacturing and
agricultural affairs.

agricultural counties Of the state,
and one Of the greatest pine pro-
ducers, but that it will also de.
velope mineral resources that will

FLYING WhEEtS,
The Latest Departure in Bicy.
 cle Inventions.

Is seems q though the old fairy legend of the seven league boots would eems true before this century ends.
 The bicycle has multiplied many fold the speed possible in personal locomotion. Distance has been divid d by 100.
 But that isn't enough. No week psssss but there appears some new de- vice, intended to tighten the labor and accelerate the speed of the wheel.
 The latest of these is . bieycis fly- ing machine. Experiment has just been made with this wonderful ma chine, snd the results. the inventor ssys, make ordinary cycling seem as ancient and clumsy ss iol,ing )sur- ney in the wagons of our grandiathers.
 The man who has devised this in- credible machine is Charles Sigors, . young msohinist. There is no joke about it. He considers the bicycle flying machine ss au altogether prscti- cal proposition, and has filed spplies- ton for patents ts protect it.
 The flying machine attachment is to De fastened on the handlebsr of the bicycle. The wings will be of canvass, stretched over aluminium frsmes They will be eight feet long and abou, four feet in width. They will be rectan gulsr in shape and one will be fastened on either side of the air cylinder which will be in the center.
 In the cylinder lies the secret of the succsss of the device. It will be four feet in length, with . diameter of ft- teen inehes. It will bs constructed O! aluminium and some alloy .! suhicien, resistance to allow one hundred pounds pressure of compressed air to the square incb.
 Before the wheelmsn starts out the air will be pumped in, and the invent. or declsres that when the cylinder i: filled the buoyancy will counterac, the weight Of the apparatus, and ren- der the propulsion of the wheel per fsctly easy.
