It is announced at republican head

rageous imposition Of the war revenue

says the Alexandria Gazette. Yes, for
long time, unless the democrats shall
regain control of Congress, in which
event they will be removed at once, and
some at least of the taxes required for
the support of the government be laid
upon those most able 70 bear them.
As it is, nearly the whole Of that bur-
den is upon the shoulders Of the poor,
while there is no tax at all upon the
surplus incomes of the rich.

Santa Fe Steamer Service.

A San Fra ncisco dispatch of recent
date says: j. J. Bryne, general passen-
ger agent of the Santa Fe in Southern
California, is in the city. He says
that all the arrangements have been
practically completed for the proposed
steamer service between San Diego and
Yokohama and Hong Kong. "Three
steamers for the new line have been
secured" said Mr.. Bryne. "They are
the Belgian King, the Carl City and
the Cathania. The latter two have an
American register. They range from
4,500 to 1850 tons capacity and are
modern vessels. The california and
Oriental Steamship company is the
syndicate controlling this new Trans
Pacific service. It has a traffic alli-
ance with the Santa Fe for both freight
and passenger business. The first ves-
sci will leave San Diego about October
Is. One will leave Hong Kohg about
the same time. 1t is my understand
ing that the steamers will call at Homo

Gov. Bushnell of Ohio is not enthu-
siastically affected toward the Repub-
lican campaign in that state the pres
ent autumn. The late state convention
Of the party omitted to commend his
administration. The governor assumes
that this was done Intentionally, and
there appears to be good grounds for
his opinion. He gets back upon his
party by refusing to take part in its
election work, and, more, he directs that
no campaign assessments be allowed in
any department of the state govern
ment. This latter is bad blow to the
republican managers, but the cause Of
civil service reform does not suffer
from it. til not unlikely that it may

Electricity on Railroads.

According to Chicago telegram of
recent date the trains on the Santa Fe
Pacific are to be lighted by electricity
IN the immediate future. The telegram
gives the following description of the
manner in which the electricity is to be
generated:
The Santa Fe road has made arrange
ments to light all the cars of its limit
ed trains running between Chicago and
Los Angeles, distance of 2,245 miles
with electricity evolved from the fric-
ton of the car axles. The electric
equipment of each train will aggregate
a, 928 candle power. All the berths will
be provided with berth lights, and this
will be the first train in the world car
rylng such large supply of light SER
vice exclusively from car axles. 1t is
the intention also to light the locomo-
tive headlight from the same service,
thus making the four limited trains
solid axle-light trains throughout.
The introduction of this system On
the limited trains will make quite de-
parture from previous practice, which
necessitates large light plant in the
baggage car. The objection to this plan
is that if the baggage car meets with an
accident, or the plant is out of order
the entire light outfit of the train is
Gnran0nd Tn 40 ovlo- Iirrhf
such thing cannot happen. Each car
has its own plant, which is small, but
compact and complete, consisting of
dynamo and storage batteries.

The political hooks they are throwing

A WORD TO GOLD DEMOCRATS
Can They FraterniEe with n Party
That Has Broken Every
Pledgeg

Gold democrats should examine with
care the record of the republican ad-
ministration before they follow By
NUNS advice to give their votes to the e.
o. p. Can gold democrats afford to fra
ternize with party which has passed
the most corrupt and excessive and in
famous tariff law ever enacted? Can
gold democrats afford TO vote for the
candidates of party which fosters and
protects trusts? And what faith can
the gold democrats place in party
which has broken every pledge made to
them in 1896, and which has ignored the
gold democrats from start to finish ?
Holding democratic doctrines in their
hearts and differing from the majority
of the party only on the currency ques-
join hands with those who are fighting
their most cherished beliefs. AS for
Bynum, he was a gold democrat for
revenue only, and when he ceased to
make money out of that kind of de-
mocracy he ceased to be a democrat.
Under the circumstances, it is quite
evident that the gold democrats will
find themselves more at home in their
old democratic fold than in that of the
republicans, and the indications are
that the gold democratic party will
pass out of existence before the cam
paign of 1900 begins.-Chicago Demo-
crat and Dispatch.

Capt. Chadwick thought that could

ter; what would it have been?"
Full speed ahead and ram!" was
the reply.
The torpedo man laughed. "You'd
never have rammed u.s." he said, and
indeed he was right. But for the dis
covery which came like reprieve at

York was doomed. The Porter might
have been sunk; the flagship must

Philippe, king of the French), offered
his assistance to secure him safe con-
duct to Philadelphia. The Orleans
family, at the time, were prescribed in
France, and, in consequence, were
unwelcome visitors to any country of
continental Europe, being compelled
TO live in disguise. Norris not only in
'lted the duke to accompany him on
the voyage from Hamburg to Phila-
delphia, but at the same time trans
ferred to the prince an order for 6 100
to defray his expenses from Bale to
Hamburg. The timely assistance was
accepted with effusive gratitude by
the royal Frenchman When he
reached Hamburg he found that Mr..
Morris had been intrusted by the pres
ident of the United States with a
diplomatic mission in Germany, and
therefore their departure was de-
layed. AT length the duke of Orleans
sailed for Philadelphia on the Amer

DEMOCRATS ARE BLAMED.
Republican Ingenuity In Misrepre.
sentation Produces q Strange
Charge.

A republican political genius has
discovered that the democrats only
are to blame for McKinley's and AL
gers mismanagement of the war and
the suffe rings of our soldiers In the
field. The ingenious gentleman who
made this discovery is Hon. John A. T..
Hull, a member of congress from Iowa
and said to be chairman of tie house
committee on military affairs.
Mr.. Hull says that if q resolution
which he offered in the house near tho
closing hours of the late session had
been adopted there would have been y
congressional committee on active
duty all the time to prevent blunders
by army and navy officers and to save
the soldiers and sailors from distress
through the errors of their command
ing officers. A committee of congress
men would have forestalled every or
der issued through mistake aud would
have saved the army and navy from
the consequences of every military or
naval error occurring through incom-
petence, oversight, insufficiency of
help and supplies and from all other
causes.
Congressman Hull alleges that near
the last hours of the congressional ses-
sion he offered the following: THAT
the house committee on military af.
fairs has power to sit during the ad-
journment of congress and make such
investigation as to organization and
Af - a.
army as it may deem advisable and re-
port to the next session of congress.
This committee is that of which Mr..
Hull is chairman. If he and his COM
mittee had been kept on duty no mis-
management of war affairs would have
occurred! But the democrats in the
house objected to the consideration
of the resolution and il was too late in
the session to pass a measure against
objections from any source. Hence
the democrats are responsible for the
maladministratio of the war de.
partment.
The country knows from familiar
history the egregious absurdity OF
clothing congressional committee
with power to exercise supervision
ever war movements. 1t was illus
trated in the evil results of the action

ing the civil war. They embarrassed

coin and the measures of Grant in the
field. If the democratic members OF

republican congressional committee

sight of army movements they rem
dered to the country service of the
highest value.-Chicago Chronicle.

A BUSY HERMIT.
Queer Maine Character Who II study
ing Perpetual Motion Under
the Tutelase of Galileo.

Between farming, studying the
Bible, and searching for the secret of
perpetual motion, Samuel p. Fall, who
lives the life of hermit in the out
skirts of East Lebanon. Me-, is about
the busiest man in York county. Fall
says that he got his first idea of per-
petual motion from Galileo, who ap-
peared to him in a vision 40 years ago.
The philosophers ghost then prom
ised to impart to Farmer Fall the long
sought secrt and disappeared, say
ing that it would come back again in
seven years. Whether this promise
has been kept Farmer Fall does not
say, but ever since the visitation of
Calico he has been studying up on the
subject of perpetual motion, which Sc
cret he fully believes he will some day
discover. Among his books the Bible
is favorite, and he declares that after
many readings of the Scriptures he
has decided that the Book, from Gene
sis to Revelations, was written by one
man. He has copied the entire Bible,
and written voluminous notes in ex-
planation, as he says, of its mysteries,
the manuscript being load for hay
rack.
As result of his studies of HOLY
Writ and works on mechanics. togeth-
er with several visions and other spir~
itual communications. Farmer FaI
has constructed two or three devices
for the attainment of perpetual mo-
lion. One consists of large pulley
fitted with tubes containing quick
silver. The other device consists of q
double cross, the arms imparting mo-
tion by means of system of weights.
Unlike most dreamers. Farmer Fall is
well off financially. deyoting a good
part of his time TO the cultivation OF
