WILL MOTOR VEHICLES DISPLACE
THE TROLLEY?
While there is small possibility that
the motor vehicle will displace the
bicycle in popular favor, it is not I'm
likely to encroach upon tthe territory
of our street car and even to become
in some degree a competitor of the rail-
roads. The Duryea motor carriage has
shown a capacity of twenty miles an
hour over favorable roads; and when
visited the works in Springfield, Mass,
where these machines are constructed,
1 learned that for a year past the in
ventors have been riding up and down
Massachusetts, and Connecticut, CLIMB
ing the steepeSt hills without dif1culty,
and thinking nothing of travelling at a
rate that would wear out d relay OF
horses from Springfield to Westfeld,
or Hartford, or even Boston. With the
improvements that are being put in
their new carriages, the Duryea broth
ers expect to attain speed on level
stretches of twenty-five miles an hour,
and to be able to run up to Boston
from Springfield in five hours, an ex-
cursion which on a pleasant day would
tempt many OIL the people from CnS
smoke and roar Of the train.
It is said that a company with ample
capital has been formed to operate a
system of motor wagons in British Co
lumbia, between Ashcroft and Barker
vile, the latter being in the heart Of
the gold region. The distance is about
200 miles At present it is traversed by
a line of horse stages, which do a large
business in carrying passengers and
supplies While the wagon road is ex-
cellent, it passes through a mountain
Gus region, and the strain upon the
horses is very severe. In addition there
is the great expense involved in trans
porting food for the horses. The COM
pany believe that a number of strongly
built wagons driven by oil motors will
do all the business, and handle the
output of the mines besides, at less
cost than the present systemAof horse
stages.

THE POLITICAL COMPANION.
Women throughout the world are in
terested in this ever recurring question
of woman's rights. Even those who
take no interest either way remember
how the news flashed like Wildfre
through the country in 1850 that Mrs.
Belva Lockwood had been nominated
for the presidency of the United States.
1t was generally thought the woman
suffrage people did it, but, as matter
of fact, a few friends of Mrs. Lock-
wood had met in San Francisco under
peculiar circumstances and made the
nomination. On this subject Mrs.
Stanton said:
''Belva Lockwood accepted the nom
ination and the votes that she re-
ceived in order to establish a princi-
pie, just the same as I did years ago
when I was nominated and ran for
congress. I received twenty-four
votes, 1 believe, and the matter went
on official record because during the
hubbub and agitation that ensued the
discovery was made that throughout
the constitution there was no word

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The Herald
correspondent had talk the other day
with Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and
found that a mighty change has swept
over the crusaders for the right of suff-
rage for women. Many of the leaders
in the cause will not know of it until
they read about it here. Anyone can
understand it. 1t is this: Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton, who spoke at the
first meeting for woman suffrage some
fifty years ago, and who has been
speaking ever since about it, now says
that women are not prepared to vote.
They must be educated up to it. AS
they stand they are not ripe for the
privilege. This, of course, does not APP
ply to the enlightened women who
have been struggling for suffrage for
years. 1t applies only to the generality
of women, the rank and file of feminin-
ity
Great, indeed, should be the joy Of
old fogies and opponents to the rights
Of women, when they read this. 1t
seems to postpone the feminine eman-
cipation Indefinitely.
But what will the women who have
been working to bring about the mil
lenium say about it?
Some time ago in a conversation we
had together. Mrs. Stanton told me
that an old Grecian gentleman with
whom she correspondent had written
her that away back in the misty, al
most unreco-ded past there had been
an era called the matriarchical age,
when women were the fnspirers and
teachers of all that was high and no
BILE. Then came the patriarchical age.
when women were ignored and men
ruled supreme: but now the great eX-
ultant music could be distinctly heard
announcing the coming of the amhi-
archical age, when men and women
will stand side by side, shoulder to
shoulder. through joy and sorrow.
through work and play, evoluted at
last to the point where their real pro-
gression begins, joint heirs of all the
ages.
The story REQUIRED to my mind as I
beheld the grand old lady clad in lus-
trcus black satin, her figure enveloped
IN an exquisitely embroidered white
crepe shawl, her fine head aureoled
with those wonderful waves Of silver,
sitting-not reclining-in her easy
chair, so serene, so dignified.
But, like all great reformers, great
inventors and great discoveries. Mrs.
Stanton has her bad quarter hours,
and after telling me that there was
nothing to talk about anent the nom
mating of any woman for the Unions
chief ruler. for the reason that women
have no vote as yet, she admitted that
sometimes she felt discouraged. owing
to the fact that women themselves
were the chief obstacles in the way of
their own success.

PIRACY STILL EXISTS.
In the Chinese Seas the Old Trade
Has Many FOLLOWERS.


Has Many Followers.
Pail Mall Gazette: In the Malay
peninsula piracy has declined consid-
erably since the expedition of twenty
years ago, but Perak, Salangore and
RAINBOW still distinguish themselves
now and again by little undiSguised
business of this kind. In China the
two great hotbeds of buccaneers are
the places which have been celebrated
in this direction for centuries-Amoy
and Canton.
The Annoy people proper, who speak
the Annoy dialect and live in the walled
city, are very quiet, peaceable and or
derby and have a pronounced antipathy
for fighting, whether on sea or shore.
But back of Annoy is the mountainous
district of Tongan. 1t is connected
with the ocean by many arms of the
sea. It's soil is sterile and it's resources
are very few; its people, like all noun
and resolute. Even today they pre-
serve a neutrality-suspicious. of military
nature.
These are the gentlemen who make
their living by piracy. They and the
men of Canton have learned wisdom by
experience. They no longer cruise the
wide seas, attacking any craft that
may come along. There are too many
gunboats patrolling the coast-too
many rified guns and too many yard
arms. Law and order, in the past
half century, have shot, hanged,
drowned, blown up or burned at least
100 900 followers of the ''black flag"
Today the work is done upon small
Ter but far shrewder and safer basis.
They keep spies at various places in
their neighborhood, who report to
headquarters whenever some junk is
about to leave that has a rich cargo
or carries a large amount Of money.
Along with this goes the information
of who commands the boat, how large
a crew it carries, and how it is armed.
The pirates then plan to intercept the
craft in some river or arm of the sea,
or else in some shoal water near the
coast, where there is no chance of
meeting a gunboat, and where, after
the robbery, they will have a safe
means of escape.
Their calculations are carefully
made but come out right only once in
four or five times. 1t may be that
appears upon the scene. It may be
that the junk they are after goes past
their rendezvous with a European
steamer or river launch, or mayhap
the prospective victim is delayed by
adverse winds and tides, and so does
not appear at the time and place fig
ured upon. When they do make
capture they are not so cruel and bru-
tai as in the old years. For the rest,
anyone who knows China and the
Chinese will not need ITO be told that
the booty is easily disposed of without
risks or questions asked.

some of their friends. In justice it
should be told that the National Amer
lean Woman's Suffrage association has
never, as a body, made a political
nomination of any kind. Our policy
has been and always shall be to in
dorse the nomination and help toward
the election of men who are favorable
to our cause, without regard to party.
Yes, we have our own ideas regard
ing all the vital questions Of the day
the gold and silver question, the bond
question-in fact, all the pending po-
lttical questions, but we do not COM
init ourselves or air any of our spec
ial views.
so long as we are classed with
idiots, criminals and lunatics as unfit
to cast ballot, it goes without saying
that our views on political questions
cannot be of any very great value.
TT should be remembered that stuff
rage and equal representation are no
longer a theory, but an accomplished
fact. We have three free states-Wyo-
ming, Colorado and Utah. In those
states women are divided in their po-
litical views just as men are, and in
older communities it will be the same
when the right of suffrage shall have
been aceeded." MARY N. HEALY.

carryalls Should not be introduced in
cities with excellent results in compe-
titfon with the street car lines. They
could run as fast as the best trolley
or cable cars, and would be cheaper
to operate, since the enormous initial
outlay for power houses and line
equipment would be avoided In the
end they might render it possible TO
rid the streets of tracks and trolley
wires, which would be an incalculable
Improvement
OF course, before motor vehicles can
come into general use, for pleasure or
business, it will be necessary for peo-
PIE to obtain a practical understand
ing of their construction and methods
of operation However simple they
may seem in principle, with only a
lever to be drawn or a wheel to be
turned it is quite plain that most per-
sons would need instruction in chang
ing speeds, steering, turning, stopping
and reversing before venturing on a
public road And the novice would do
well to practice for some weeks run
ming at half speed, say ten miles an
hour, before pushing the motor to its
limit; for steering a motor vehicle
when it rs travelling at the rate of
twenty miles an hour is very nearly
as exciting as steering a runaway
morse MT. Duryea, however, assures
me that, after very little instruction,
his wife had no difficulty in running
one motor wagon all about Springfield
and the surrounding country.
In regard to the cost of motor car
riages. everything depends upon the
size, number of seats, style, finish and
the like; but it may be said in a gen
eral way that they will range in prices
from $50 to $780, the best four-seated
vehicle probably costing about 81 1000.
These will be the prices for the first
few years, but it is altogether likely
the keenness of competition will bring
about a material reduction in the prices
within ten years

It seems not unlikely that the motor
vehicle or "horseless carriage" will
some day play an important part as
one of the appliances of war. General
Miles. the commander-in-chief of the
United States army, has recommended
that twelve companies, a force equal
to one full regiment, be equipped with
bicycles and motor wagons. Even the
little army of which he is the head,
which has only $4,000 men, requires
nearly 10000 horses and mules for cav
airy, artillery and general draft pur-

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


New York, Sept. Especial LACK of
enthusiasm in Liverpool today chilled the
ardor of the bulls here, and our market
opened lower January sold on the call at
S4. That was the highest of the day. Prices
gradually declined with occasional reactions
until January had sold at S.26. January
closed at s2G@s.27 with the tone steady at
the decline.
The daily receipts are now about double
the daily consumption, and the accumu-
lating surplus has to be taken care of in
some way, and generally finds its way to
this market to be sold against future de-
hveries. The speculative demand and buy
ing powers are Sc limited that almost every
body feels bullish. The daily increasing
pressure Of new cotton is serious obstacle
to an advance, and may occasion further
decline.
We feel more confident than ever of high
er prices later on, but until business grows
more lively or the receipts diminish the
market will probably fluctuate between 8
cents and $50 for January. On every good
break We favor buying with view to TAX
ing profits on the next advance.
