Pttsburg paper:

AWe clip the following notice from a
Pittsburg paper:
Yesterday at noon the Edge Moor Bridge
company, Of Wilmington, Del, successfully
removed the second span of the old Pam
handle railroad bridge on Steuben street,
West end, and replaced it with a new
structure. The aggregate weight of the old
and new spans Is 1886 tons. the old span
weighing 100 tons while the new one
weighs 235 tons.
The work was accomplished without the
slightest accident in six minutes. The ac-
tual time Of moving the two spans was
minute and 10 seconds. Thirty men, with
the assis lance of a small engine did the
work. The week before a similar engineer
ing feat was accomplished on the same
bridge. Tho completion of the work will
take lOdays, after which the bridge COM
pany will goto Carnegie to take out
bridge No. 9, 1000 feet long. which is to be

IT was on the LIST Of May that Sir Francis
Drake. with % ships, burst like thunder
bolt into the Bay Of Cadiz, and in eleven
days destroyed hundred Spanish men,of,
war, without losing ship or man. The
LIST Of May must be a fatal day in the
Spanish naval calendar, as it was on that
day that Dewey completely routed the
Spanish force at the Philippine Islands.
z Sir Francis Drake was one of those men
who made.epochs by his fleet. Only three
belonged to Queen Elizabeth; The rest were
owned by himself and his associates. The
first thing he did was to drive the Spanish
ships under the protection OF the fortif-
catlons, exactly as Dewey did. The next
thing he did was to attack the whole outfit
IN combination. just as Dewey did. he
burned or sunk the Spaniards. whichever
happened to his hand. and he burned every
thing he could get hold of in the why, Of
war material except such as he could car
ry away. Spain is now undergoing an.
other transformation and 1t looks as if the
end was near at hand, when she will lose
all her possessions on the Western Hem.
isphere and America will st her subjects
free.

The National Bimetallist, published at

monthly publication devoted to discussing
free coinage of silver and the money
question generally, or largely so. The
form of the Bimetallist will be changed
to the regulsr magazine style and dress
next issue, January 18th, which will con-
stitute No. of the second volume. The
magazine is one Of the staunch reform
papers and deserving of liberal patron
age from the people, whose cause it so
ably upholds and defends.
The leading article in the December
number on The Presidents Message is
one of the best, if not absolutely the best
that has appeared on that wishy-washy
state paper. 1t will pay any one to send
10 cents and get the December number if
for that one article only. Help the reform
press that is battling for the people and
receiving but scanty pay. Cut the gold

mics to civilization of the 10TH century,
because they deceive the people.

Ugly Facts.

Acts of usurpation upon the rights of
the people are causing:
A general disposition of selfishness
among the people.
A lowering of the average character of
our citizenship.
A mania for office-seeking- reason
of the paralysis and uncertainty of bus
mess, which makes unusually desirable
the salaries that will protect from want
those who hold Offices.
A disposition in those who hold office
to consider their OWE interests instead of
the interests of the people
An intensely selfish age in which
property interests and vain things are
regarded as paramount to the interests
of humanity.
A condition of things that places the
machinery of political parties at the dis
posal OF selfish wealth, and too frequently
makes successful politicians its interested
agents and employees
The worship by the richest, and SEEM
ingly TO the people some of our most
respected citizens, of the customs, titles
and laws of monarchies. Our rich men
to contribute of their wealth to the pur-
chase of metropolitan newspapers in
order to daily deceive and mislead the
people, suppress real and force false issues
for public thought, and thus aid in pro-
tecting the unjust laws they have enacted
and permanently fasten upon the govern
ment reign of sel6shness they have
inaugurated.
And finally, deadening of the public
conscience 20 the appeals of humanity, a
lowering of national appreciation to the
blessings of liberty, and gradual tolera-
ton leading to actual fostering and en-
enlargement of the principles of des.
potism.-From the Patriot Bulletin.
