A GREAT SPEECH.

pccently the burgomaster OF Antwerp
undertook 10 make an open-air speech
10 had hardly started, however, when
\ great wlnd-storm arose, and realizing
that. as a blower, he could not compete
with nature, the good burgomaster ADAM
doned sentences. and contented hlmseh
with making vigorous gestures anu
shrieking king Country Con-
mo-ce." Industry" Each Of these words
ELECTED rapturous applause from the vast
audience. and we are told that the AM
wero newspapers Of the next day pro-
nounced the speech a triumph OF o'd'o''
ana an effort Of great force.
Some Of the irreverent paragraphers
on this side Of the water seem ihc''i'ei
IN the view that the Antwerp papers
INDUCED in irony and sarcasm at me
expense Of the worthy burgomaster'
These photographers are mistaken. Ihey
are evidently journalists, not newsrape:
men who have had experience IN re-
porting. Were they graduates Of the
Reportorial School, they would know that
the Antwerp papers were sincere ana
would endorse the judgment OF those
papers
In point Of brevity, the speech OF the
burgomaster of Antwerp was mouei
for the average orator. Moreover
Judged by some recent literary stand
ards. IT was a great literary achieVe-
ment It was sufficiently ejaculatory
and disconnected to entitle 1t to take hlsn
place in the domain of modern syfnoo-
ism

The biggest grain harvester In the world
is IN operation upon Roberts Island, III
the San Joaquin river, near Stockton.
Cal. We learn from n press telegram
that the machine turns out three 6O-pound
sacks of wheat every minute. it has
a cutting line of fifty-two feet. and II
also threshes and sacks the grain. In
one run around a 4,0OO-acre field, it will
turn out hundreds of sacks of wheat
ready for market.
The cost of harvesting has been re-
duced to a minimum by this machine,
and the number of days consumed in
getting a large field ready for market
will be about half that of the regular
harvester. Eight or ten men handle II
easily, while it is turning out from 1900
to 500 sacks a day, Of ten hours, and
sweeping 100 acres of grain clean.
At present it is working in the heaviest
wheat ever grown in California. The
grain on the islands has always been tall
and of rank growth, but this year it was
much heavier than in past seasons. No
difficulty has been experienced in har-
vesting, as the traction engine, which was
built especially for the harvester. pushes
it through the thick grain with about
the same ease that an ordinary engine
would draw a wagon over country
road

Kindred Feeling.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
We southerners must not be too harsh
I'm condemning the Philadelphia Grand
Army of the Republic for not wishing
20 entertain Pickett Camp at the forth
coming celebration. Those of us who
were children during the war still re-
member how we felt when told 1.-THE
Yankees viii get you If you are not
good" 1t may be that the Philadel-
phians also have not gotten over little
OF the feeling Of dread experienced du-
ring those days.
In the play of Uncle Daniel" the
leading character tells how 81 Pettingill
offered TO show tho Governor OF Massa-
chusetts the working OF his "annihila-
tor" upon which the Chief Executive
remarked to the inventor that If it were
all the same 10 him he would rether that
he would not fire II off in the Bay
State while he was Governor.
Now. Pennsylvania, of all States I'm the
Union. as the one in which PicketCs
Division attained Immortality, has good
reason to remember what that command
can do. and IL may be that those who
have been the recipient Of its tender
mercies in days gone had rather that
not more than one Of those invincible
e1-Confeds cross the Potomac at the
time, as long as they are alive.

The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals for the New York circuit has
handed down a decision which practi-
cally declares invalid the patent grant
ed to Charles J. Van De Poole. of Chi
cago on April II, 1898, under which the
General Electric Company has recently
sought to collect tribute from everybody
who made or used pole trolley.
This patent was drawn IN such broad
terms that it was believed to cover
every method by which practicable
connection could be made between car
and an overhead trolley-wlre, I'm which
the trolley wheel presses up against the
wire. The New York Sun says troll
leys with the wheel running over the
wire were tried before Mr.. Van De
Poole made his invention, and We're al
terward abandoned as unserviceable. IL
the Van De Poole patent were finally sus-
tanned. it would give the General Elec-
trio Company and the Westinghouse
Company a strong hold against all COM

THEY SEE THEIR DUTY.

Our colored people are awakening 10
their duty in the matter of cooperating
with the whites in suppressing the rsual

The resolutions passed by the Banis-

before the negroes in manner which
shows deep conviction as TO the neces-
stiles of the case.
There are twenty-nine or thirty other
colored Baptist associations in Virginia
and we are told that all Of them VIII
take up the subject and deal with II III
a pronounced manner. God-speed the

upon II. If it succeeds, the whites ana
