Advantages of Now Met cd Of Pro-
polling Stree "a 6.
The railroad commissioners Of the
state of New York, OF which board
Ashley W. Cole is chairman, have
made their second inspection OF the
iir-power cars now in operation on
One Hundred and Twenty-ffth
street, New York city, and they rec
ommend this power as very superior
IN every respect These cars have
been running now regularly every
day for about ten months, making
sS,444 miles ard carrying 160,272
passengers. The report Of the COM
missioners is confirmed by almost
every railroad mechanical man in
this country who has given this mat
ter thorough investigation, and also
by engineers who have been sent
from London, Liverpool, Berlin and
Denmark. As further evidence of
the desirability Of this motive power,
it may be said that canvass of the
merchants and residents along the
line of the road where these cars have
been running showed that the people
were universally in favor of them, on
account of the cars being perfectly
noiseless. They can be stopped in
stantly and reversed in case of any
obstruction. This makes them real
Iy a life and propcrty-saving device,
whose economies will be appreciated.
The following clipping gives the
views Of Sir A. b. Forwood, a large
owner in the Liverpool Gngland)
tramway system, before the city ac-
quired the plant, who made an inves-
tigation by direction Of the Liverpool
authorities for the purpose of report
Of the working Of the Hardie air mo-
tor:
Looking at the system from a me-
chanical point of view, there appears
to be no doubt of its efficiency. The
details connected with the service
which we examined have been very
carefully wrought out and construct
ed, and the machinery appears to
have sustained no wear and tear of
any moment after continuous service
Of about eight months. The arrange
ment of the machinery in the car is
that of plain, simple engine, tine
working parts are of good, strong
section and design, and should last
for long time with very little up
keep, and we have no hesitation in
stating that plant fitted upon this
system, with the arrangements and
details carried out properly to begin
with, would work with as great or
greater efficiency and more economy
than any other system which we are
acquainted. Railway World

The other day the heavy downpour
and the closeness of the atmosphere
in the Rhode Island senator's COM

about trout. Senator Gallery spoke
of a superlatiye catch in which he es-
timated his fish at nine pounds. Mr..
Aldrich went him one better by put
ting certain catch of his down at
Al inches long. "Where did you
catchhim?" inquired Senator Gallery,

"Hm" said Senator Gallery; "there

to produce such a fish"

iai. 1.-THE people of South Dakota

$50, 1000 900 of their debts" SAID DR..
D l.. Mckinney, one of the best
known loan agents of the State, land
are now paying off at very rapid
rate. AS things are now going the
people of the State, and especially
the farmers, will soon be we'll out of
debt. The large crops of the last few
years, coupled with the close times,
have had the effect of giving the PEG
pie an appetite of getting out of debt,
and fortunately have also given them
the ability to do So
Mark Russell, who represents loan
company which has several million
dollars loaned on farm property in
South Dakota, adds his testimony to
that of Dr. Mckinney. Mr.. Russell's
company stands ready to and is anx-
ious to place from $5O,OC0 to $4,000
yearly on South Dakota farm proper
ty, but the agent complains that he
cannot find takers for one-third of the
amount he would like to loan.
Our company has 800 loans int
this State on fam lands" said Mr.
Russell, land we have not had over
fifty foreclosures in seven years, The
company does not own foot of land
in the State and never lost a cent on

Wiii he Transferred.
Special Correspondence II Gazette aud Journal
Baltimore. Nd, Oct. 6. "A delegation
OF Delaware Republicans was here yes

lecIor Of Internal Revenue Parlett rela-
tiyo to tho deputy collectorshipA and
Office Of gaueer in delaware. Tho son-
tlcmsn were reGoivsd courtuously by
Collector Parlett, and Judging from
their CONTINGENCIES after the onference
they received much encouragement.
Whilo nothing definite could be
learned officially, il was understood
that Mr.. Parlett had given assurance
that the appointment of Mr.. Wells wns
only temporary and in short time he
will DO giveu another berth in tho
Baltimore district and a Delawarean
will be given the place at Wilmington.
1t ia understood that Collector Farlett
sent Mr.. Wells to Wilmington in order
10 obviate complications. a friend Of
his stated to-day that had he not done
40 no would have bean compelled to
reappoint Deputy Robinson, and he
would have given bond and been in
possession OF the office. and 10 ordar to
appoint another mar it would have been
necessary TO remove him after he had
gone to tho trouble of rebonding.
Col. @. NJ. Leitch of Wilmington,
who, it is understood. has the backing
of Col. du Point anu other Republican
leaders If Delaware, is thought to he
slated for tho place. He has bad q
great deal of experience and Collector
larlett ia we'll acquainted with bis
qualifications and abi.itiea.
1t wns stated to-day that the place
made vacant by tho removal of Field
Deputy Stayton will NOT he filed fol
the present, but it is believed TINT
Delawarean will be appointed 10 suc
coed him in the course OF short time.
just whore Deputy Collector Wells
will DO sent is not known, but it il
known that Collector Parlett has several
valuable Offices at his disposal and y
is the general opinion that Mr.. Well!
will be well taken care Of.

State Convention to be Called and Central

The first step looking towards or
ganisation for local option was taken
by tho Wilmington nj. u. Preachers
Association at recent meeting when
tho Revs j.. ID. c. llama of Union
Church, Harvey w. Ewing Of Mt. Salem
Church and Julius Dodd of Newport
we're appointed TO represent the associa-
tiou on joint committee. The Rev.
Mr.. Hanna was the prime mover in this
matter. it being proposed to have a
committee made up from the preachers
meeting, the Ministerial Union, the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and the Law and Order Society. The
representatives from the Ministerial
Union are the Rsvs. o. G. Buddington

After the Law and Order Society
representatives have been named a
meeting OF tho Joiut committee VIII ne
called. at which tho calling of State
convention TO be holt at Dover will be
considered. 1t is proposed to have o
number OF leading citizens to issue the
call for the convention and to have it
general rather than delegate body.
One business Of the State convention
will DO to name State central com
mittos with perhaps every hundred in
the State represented thereon. Upon
this committee will then devolve the
work OF the local option campaign. An
effort will he made TO secure men in
favor of local option in the Legislature
of 1899. II a majority of the Senators
ard Representatives in any one district
favor local option it must then be sub
mitted to vote of the people at the
next general election. The state is
divided into four districts by the Con
stitution and the friends Of local option
propose to work in each district. Two
yearB ago n local option convention was
held, hut in view of an old decision
that local option was unconstitutiona
the work was not pushed. Under tht
new Constitution the movement has
BEEN revived.
