1t is stated upon good authority
that the water power that it is pos
sible to harness in the United States
would exceed in extent all that is at
present obtained by the consump-
ton of fuel. Why then should not
engineers devote much time and
study TO the utilizing of this tre-
mendous source of energy that is
now running to waste. 1t seems to
be a settled fact that electrical force
developed, at or near the stream, can
bs transmitted almost anywhere
needed. AS it is now we have the
mining and transportation of vast
bodies of coal the use of great boil
ers, and ponderous machinery, the
waste of ashes and dirt to be got rid
of, and through all this a great and
constant loss of power How much
more simple and sensible is the more
modern plan that is coming into use.
The water is used to produce cleo
trical energy, and instead of being
destroyed as is coal is turned loose
into the natural channel perhaps to
be used again. The electrical energy
developed is carried to wherever
needed does its work and is also
turned into the illimitable store
house of nature without destruction
or waste. Nothing destroyed, but
little wasted, and no refuse to cause
expense by its removal. Here
would be natures two great if not
greatest forces turned to mans
benefit harnessed for a time, and
when its allotted task is done then
turned back into the great sea of
undeveloped force to be used again
and again as mans needs may re-
quire. The trend of engineering
thought at present seems to be
directed to this end and great re-
yolution in existing methods appears
20 be near at hand. II.

erly observed, it has been almost
wholly dispelled by those baser ma
lures which have seized the oppor-
tunity to gratify a malicious pro
pensity to wound the feelings cf
others by sending their cowardly
meaningless and often vulgar mis-
sives. Young people of finer taste
will not embrace the custom in or
der to wound the sensibilities of any
person, and those not possessing
such refinement will hardly have
sufficient sense to refrain from graft
flying an ignoble ambition.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The men who stated in 1896 that
farm products could not advance
without the free coinage of silver
are saying nothing about the fact
that wheat sold at 81 10 in Chicago a
few days ago.
Ex-Queen Liliokulani and the
sugar trust are opposed to the an
nexation of Hawaii. Presidsnt Nc
Kinloy and the Republican party
favor annexation, as have a dozen
Presidents before him and the lead
ing men of the Republican party on
former occasions.
1t is to be hoped that the Omaha
World Herald will hasten TO obtain
editorial transportation which
will enable Mr.. Bryan to visit the
trans Mississippi exposition at Oma-
ha. He will be interested in that
room papered with cancelled farm
mortgages from single county of
his state.
The Republican House of Repre-
sentatives was as prompt and vigor-
Gus in its condemnation of the pro.
position for the payment of United
States bonds in silver as was the Re-
publican President. Tie latter de-
nounced it in ringing terms in his
New York speech II few days ago,
and the House rejected it by a ma
jority of fifty votes the very day
that it was laid before it's members
for their consideration.
The Dingley law has already out
run the Wilson law as a revenue
producer, despite the fact that the
Wilson law found enormous guam
titles of goods waiting to come into
the countries when it went upon
the statue books, while the conditions
were precisely the opposite when
the Dingley bill became law. The
first six months of the Dingley law
produced $l3, 500, 900 more revenue
than did the Wilson law in the same
period of it's operations.
Chairman Jones of the PopocratiC
party is having troublesome times
just now. He is being urged by the
silver men who assume to control
that party to displace Pennsyl.
vania's member of the National
Committee, Mr.. Harrity, because he
does not subscribe to the free silver
proposition. While Chairman Jones
is doubtless in sympathy with the
proposition, he probably recognize:
the fact that arbitrary action of this
kind might cause some trifling dis
satisfaction among the five million
odd voters who were led to victory
by MIR. Harrity as Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee il
1892.

EDITORIAL.
NONE ON OUR PLATE, THANK
NOTT

The Press is in receipt of a bio
graphical sketch of George w. Gut
hrie of Pittsburg, and letter urging
his fitness and claims for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor OF
Pennsylvania this fall. The letter
states as one of the points in his
favor that he went to Florida at the
request of Samuel. j. Tilden to do
party duty when the infamous steal
of the Presidency in 1875 was per
petrated, the words attempted to
be" preceding the word perpetrated
were probably omitted from the let
ter for the sake of Democratic eu-
phony. 1t alleges that he is mod
est Democrat possesses Jeffersonian
q affiliations, and had illustrious
ancestors. 1t does not state his
position on the free silver question
or give his experience as a public
man other than in the steal matters.
The PREss has no doubt as to this
worthy gentleman's Democracy, and
perhaps also his entire fitness to
represent that party, but it does not
subscribe to the idea that Pennsyl
vania has at present, or SO long as
there is plenty, of Republican timber
staunch and well seasoned, any use
for Democratic Governor, and it
must therefore decline to urge the
claims of Mr.. Guthrie or any other
Democrat for that exalted and re
sponsible position.

Prevent
pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the Use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
Some years ago had severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. | could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched
condition. / procured bottle Of Ayers
Cherry Pectora and took it according to the
directions, and at the end Of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound as before the attack

monia since, and have never known it to fail
in effecting a cure
