a SHORT TEB1g

The Echo is against the prolonga-
tion Of the three month torn Of the
state Legislature.
The changing of the present ses-
sion would lead to indiffsfenee and
neglect, besides giving halr-brained
legislators time to make our statute
book curiosity. or
The small amount Of important
business which really demands the
attention of the Legislature does not
justify q longer term. Instead Of
lengthening the session, It would be
better to educate the people to elect
competent men, men who can think
and act and who know before they
get to the Legislature what is requir-
ed of them.
The Echo Is quite certain, as must
be oil intelligent people, that many
members in the lower bodse did not
know one single thing about the is
sues pertaining to the states welfare,
and even now may be ignorant Of
the wherefore oftheir presence iu the
Legislative hall.

Perpe.ual mollon cInlme.l.

Ottumwa, Ia, March 27.-For
twenty years an old man, who
saws wood for a living, has been
working at odd times on ma
chine which he believed would
solve the vexing problem of per-
petual motion. Two weeks ago he
told Count Otto vonHalzschuherr,
a druggist of this city, tnat if he
could overcome one little difficult
ty the long-sought end would be
gained. The druggist began work
and yesterday hit upon a device
which made the machine a success.
Last night the machine was set
in motion, and it bids fair to con-
tinue running through all eternity
unless it wears out or does some
thing else equally commonplace
| to stop it. The mechanism looks
like a small dry goods box, from
which pertrudes on one side a
bicycle wheel, which revolves 100
times a minute. The count re-
fuses to explain the details of the
invention until it has been patent
ed, but gave an inkling of its
principles.
"The attraction of gravitation, I"
said he, "explains the perpetual
motion attained, and it is SO SIM
pie that every man of any know
ledge Of mechanics will wonder
when he sees the inside of the
machine that it was not thought
Of before. The leading factors
are a weight continually falling,
out continually lifted back into
/, its original position by leaden
balls running through wooden
throughs. The machine will run
at its present rate Of speed forever
unless stopped by ontside agen-
cies. There is no friction. The
new power can be multiple d
indefinitely by increasing the size
of the machine, and it will rele-
gate to oblivion steam, hot air,
electricity, and all the other
powers heretofore employed. 1t
is especially adapted to transpor-
tation.

MCKINLEY AND DEFEAT.

IuCAINLb <tND LIZ ~ EAI.
The impression now current rela-
tive to the presidential nomination
in the st. Louis convention is, that
William Mckinley Of Ohio will be
the leader chosen to lead the republi.
can hosts next fall. A better oppor.
tunity for democratic success could
not be possible, il this we're tofhap-
pen. The arch protectIonist has
long paraded himself under the polit-
zeal skies Of this government, but
his sun set some time ago, and the
darkness which overtakes each and
every political monster who advocates
q system that brings ruin and disas-
ter to the masses, will overtake him.
The Echo repeats that no other
cause could insure the success Of the
democratic party with greater surety
than the nomination Of William Me-
Kinley for the presidency. lon
The Iaboring population aud those
who syDpatliize with the laborer
have had enough Of high tariff, they
want no more OF 1t, and consequent
ly the nomination Of Mckinley will
mean the election Of democrat.

LOCAL POLITICS.

The local democracy has spoken
and every democrat should abide by
the decision.
The election was a fair one, the
campaign carried on honorably, so
there is no cause for dlssension. We
do not doubt that the regular ticket
will have opposition, but we hope the
opposition will not be advanced by
those who pledged their support TO
the nominees.
The marching of the local demo-
cracy in solid line, casting its vote
as pledged, need have no fear Of de-
feat.
Since the above was written citi-
zens' ticket has come under our OBJ
servatIon. 1t is composed of promi-
nent people, but The Echo feels
confident that it will not deter dem
ocrats from doing their duty.

LEGAL-TENDER NOTES NOT
NECESSARY.

The surest means fol- prompt re-
turn of general prosperity is the re-
tirement and cancellation of legal
tender notes. In expunging this
money from circulation we need have
no fear of contraction, even though
we do not provide any new mode OF
issue of bank paper.
We probably should not need to
Import any gold, but would get
enough from our annual product, for
the proportion Of legal-tender cur
rency TO non-legal-tender currency
today in this country is far greater
than is needed; and, doubtless, a
great deal Of new bank currency
would be issued under our present
laws, If demand arose for it, and
would be just as useful for our pur-
poses as legal-tender notes.
There is undoubtedly also great
deal Of gold boarded in the country
at present, and this would be brought
into circulation. Another source of
help to our gold supply would un-
questionably be the sending by Eu-
ropeans Of great mass CT foreign
capital to this country for invest
msnt as soon as we set out on the
path Of currency reform.

Rescued From a Hungry Eagle.

Lexington, KY, March 23.--
But for his big ewfoundland dog
little Willie Sloan, aged 2 years,
might have been converted into
eagle food yesterday. He was
playing IN the front yard of his
father, w. j. Sloan, whose house
lis at the foot of Jones Fork
mountain, one of the highest of
the Kentucky ridge, when large
eagle alighted on him and buried
its talons in his side. Near him
was his big and faithful dog, that
ran to him just in time to catch
the eagle by the leg. Mr.. Sloan
was sitting in his door and saw
the eagle as it darted down from
the mountain. He ran at full
speed in the direction of the child
and arrived in time to assist the
dog in killing the eagle and releas
ing the claws of the bird from the
boys clothing and flesh. One eye
is cut so that it is believed the
child will lose the sight of it and
his left breast was torn considers
bly,, but the injuries are not fatal.
The bird is of the gray eagle va
riety and measures seven feet
from tip to tip.

Philadelphia, March z5.--Ef-
forts are being made by several
Philadelphia and New York pub
fishers to induce murderer III. III.
Holmes to make a full confession
and tell the story of his life. One
New York publisher began with
an offer of $1,000 for truthful
and detailed story of his criminal
career and gradually increased it
to $4,000, because of the indiffer-
ence of the condemned man.
While Homes was considering this
last proposition a rival New York
newspaper offered him 1880 fiat
for the same thing. 1t is not
known whether he has accepted
the offer, but he has been doing a
good deal of writing lately, the
character of which he has con-
cealed.

Chicago, March 27.-Leopold
Orenstein, a Clark street mer-
chant, called al the Armory to-
day and demanded a warrant for
the arrest of two unknown per-
sons, who, he claimed, had de-
frauded him by new and origi-
nal method. This morning car
riage drove up to his door and
two men alighted. One of the
men was about 40, and wore a pro-
fusion of iewelry, ands rich appa-
rel. His companion was about
25, and dressed like a valet. The
richer dressed of the men began
to examine Mr.. Orenstein's stock
of jewelry, while the other drew
the merchant aside. The man
exhibited a roll Of bills, aud
speaking in a confidential whisper,
informed Orenstein that his mas
ter was a kleptomaniac. "Just
keep an eye on him, note down
everything he may take and I'll
pay for it right away"
Orenstein saw the we'll dressed
kleptomaniac slip a watch, three
or four rings and some misce1lan<
eous trinkets into his pockets the
total amounting to 1857. The
kleptomaniac then walkek out to
his carriage and the servant settled
with Orenstein. Ten minutes
Orenstein, having occasion to pay
a bill found that he had been Civ

a DEQENERATED PARTY.

II DEGENER4IED PARITY.
If an honest vote'could be had in
this country it would unquestionably
show an enormous majority opposed
to the political control Of the money
and monopoly combination called
the republican party. To trace all
the causes that have subordinated
this sentiment would be an endless
task but the most potent influences
have been corruption, deception and
a willingness on the part Of thous-
lands to cling to party name with
out thinking for themselves. To
many of them the republican party
Is fetch to which they give fealty
because their father did and because
itonce had q worthys palssi0n. ~
this delusion were dispelled and tho
lamentaole degeneracy Of the party
be comprehended by the people, II
would pass out Of existence like mist
beneath July sun; and never were
the opportunities for popular enlIght-
enment better than they are at pres
ent.
Out Of the mouth Of republican
witnesses it is made plain that the
wealth obtained by monopolistic
power, established and favored by
national legislation, is being poured
out with view to buying the presi-
dency of the United States.

CUBAN BELLItaEREyTs.


In the course of human events
it has become pre-eminently pos.
tive that all men are born equal,
and from time immemorial it has
been embodied in the laws of ma.
tions. The God given sentence,
equal rights to all, special privi-
leges to none," has only the pc
culiar condition of servitude in
opposition to that obsolete prece-
dent, "Might makes right" Gu
ban belligerancy must have recog-
milton even at the expense Of q
war with an exchequer depleted,
pride inflated nation of Spain,s
pretensions the past must give
way to the future.
"Hope springs eternal in the
human breast" and thetortured,
appealing glances cast upon us by
our island sister for material aid
cannot be ignored through the
apathy of independence. Let us
do the only thing within the strict
letter of the law by recognizing
what has become a 'war" with all
its attendent horrors.
The dispatches concerning Gen.
Weyler give full details. He came
with a flourish of trumpets and
heralded his former crimes and
atrocities (under the name of war;
as menace to the struggling suf-
ferers for freedom.
His tribute to the history OF
needless cruelty and devilish vim
dictiveness is without parrelel in
modern warfare, and has been
fitly demonstrated within the past
fortnight. What have we to fear
even at the worst of il?
Spain in it's overweening arro-
gance and dispairing clutch at
former glories, while forcibly inn
pressed with the inevitable result
of civilization and enlightenment,
and after having fattened upon
and gloated over the misery OF
thousands tries to hoax the world
and gain sympathetic capital by
flooding the press with dispatches
reciting the forbearan CO Of its
Commander in chief Weyler
"Methinks he doth protest to
much" And while the civilized
world has stood aghast at the
Armenian atrocities, it has beer
laid aside for future reference in
contemplation of the Cuban cam.
paign.
The press has done all within
its power to further the Interests
of the much maligned islanders,
and while we stand to-daya nation
without peer and the admiration
of the world is shown us without
stint, can it be possible the Mon.
roe doctrine cannot even throw
shadow in behalf of belligerant
rights fol suffering and outraged

The sympathy of every true
American citizen is or should be
with Cuba, in her struggle for in.
dependence. And God speed the
day when in the full light of vic.
torious freedom 81 aims minioni
shall forever depart from the
shores of the American continent
never to return.
We can then in our homes
realize while accepting the fear.
some adulation of the civilized
world, and the fearful blessing o1
our little island friend, that it il
