GOLD STANDARD A FAILURE.

Tho Kind of prosperity" It Has Brought
Upon This Country.
You are informed by the goldbug
press that wonderful wave of pros
perity is sweeping over the country.
Has it hit you? This is the season
of the year when business should be
rushing. Have you employed an extra
force Of clerks?
Have your wages been raised since
this boom struck the country? Have
any new and vast enterprises been
started since prosperity set in? How
about this boom, anyhow?
II there Is boom, who gets the
credit? We are now living under the
administration of Grover Cleveland. If
there is boom it belongs to him. Will
liam Mckinley is not president, and he
never will be. The only thing William
Mckinley ever gave the country was
his tariff bill, and while that bill was in
full force and effect William Mckinley
went into bankruptcy. Mark Hanna
now holds his notes for $11s,0o0, his
contribution to the Mckinley bill dis
aster.
II this is wave of prosperity may
fortune protect us from any more of
it. If this is what Mckinley means,
give us anything else.
Pick up your paper Of last week
and look at the weekly report Of the
bank clearings of the United States.
1t is the most discouraging exhibit
since the period preceding the panic
of 1893. Chicago showed s74,2s6, 427,
against SOL 100000 for the correspond
ing week of a year ago. There was
not big city in the country that did
not show an appalling decrease. The
average decrease for the United States
was 81 per cent. The weekly report Of
the bank clearings gauge comparative
prosperity with the accuracy of a
thermometer.

AIR MOTORS A SUCCESS.

New Invention Is Given a satisfactory
Test in New York City.
The trials of the NATURALIZATION
new air-motor cars for the Third avenue
railroad company took place the other
day, and satisfactory trips We're made
early in the morning and late in the
evening. Two cars We're run, one by
the inventor OF the system, Robert IIar-
die, and the other by Robert d. Ball.
They were both put back and forth on
One Hundred and Twenty-tifth street
several times, from North river TO the
Harlem river, q distance of four miles,
and were run at varying speeds of from
four to fifteen miles an hour. Each car
was completely under the control of the
motorman, and started and stopped
with ease. There was no jerking, as
is customary in the cable cars. Each
car is supplied with q sand box, which:
dumps quantity of sand on the tracle
when an emergency requires that the
car be stopped with more than usual
quickness.
The sand box was tried when the car
was moving at the rate of 10 miles an
hour, and the car was stopped in little
more than its length. The compressed
air reservoir had pressure of 1000
pounds to the square inch when the car
started on its trip. The pressure was
reduced one-half when the car had COM
pleted its journey Of eight miles, 1t is
estimated that the reservoir will hold
enough compressed air to prope the
car distance of Is miles. In appear
ance the cars are the same as cable cars,
all OF the motive power being beneath

IN MINE EXPLOSIONS.
Many Men Lose Their Lives Through
Ignorance of What to Do.

Ignorance of What to Do.
Scientific inquiry is being directed to
the saving of human life in mine ex-
plosions. DR.. Haldane has established
The fact that the loss of life in colliery
accidents is far greater than it need
be when those who work in the mines
aud those who manage them have
clearer knowledge of the right thing
to do in the face of the calamity. In q
recent mine explosion, where 81 men
and 30 horses were killed, the cause of
death in every case was proved to be
not the want of oxygen in the air of the
pit after the explosion, but to COM
paratively slow poisoning by carbon
monoxide. Sufficient oxygen to suP->
port life was left in the airways all
along the track of the explosion. Tt
appears that men from want of knowl-
edge now go straight to their death
in endeavoring to escape. Dr. Haldane
is convinced that hundreds of men have
lost their lives by hurrying blindly to-
ward the shaft, or by not retiring to-
ward the face when they met the after
damp. In many parts of the mine there
will be, beyond the limits of the ex-
plosion, abundance of air to effect tniIu-
ton of the poisonous carbon-monoxide,
on breathing which the men suddenly
lose the use of their limbs and finally
consciousness. So that a man who
waits for the rescuers, or long enough
for the after-damp to disperse, viii be
able to escape either by the intake, or,
if this is blocked by the return air.

generally are for Mckinley has been
made by means of recent mail ballot.
j. w. Gunnells, of this city, publisher
of Gunnells' Monthly, recently sent out
10000 return postal cards. On them
was the request that the recipients
would simply give their preferences for
president, without going into the issues
involved.
These cards were sent to business
houses with which Mr.. Gunnells had
dealings, advertising agencies and to
many subscribers for the monthly. Mr..
Gunnells has received $685. replies to
