Bryan was "a bigger man than JEFF
ferson" at the dollar dinner. He had
the center OF the stage all the even
ing. Bryan stuck TO the Chicago plat
form, although there was yelled in
timation that the sacred ratio might
be changed if the revised version
should become necessary. The ten
dollar dinner and the dollar dinner
show that the yawning chasm in the
democratic party remains, and as
Bryan is not willing 10 mount his mule
and dash self-sacrificingly into the
gaping abyss, the gully will stay there.
In fact. the tcn-dollar democrats say
that this fatal assure Is nothing else
than Bryans mouth, and that the Chi
cago platform is really "Aut Bryan aut
nullus." which is choice between neg
atiyes. As the republican party is
making the American administration
the administration OF the world. Mr..
organs rendng of the democratic
party may lie viewed with no more
excitement than that which attends

ed by single rail. The car is sort
OF double-decker, 60 feet long, and
dual lengthwise as we'll as vertically
throughout its lower half. The main
wheels, the guide wheels and the
motors, are housed ~ the lower por-
ton. There are four motors, weigh
ing three tons each. They are at
tached to four Of the eight carnage
wheels. With 600 revolutions a min
ute, the motor develops 15O-horse
power. This gives a speed OF 100
miles an hour, but the speed can be
easily doubled. 49,.
Besides the eight carriage wheels
there are thirty-two guide wheels, 30
that at speed Of even three miles
minute there is no danger or derail-
ment. The upper half, the car prop
er, seats 100 passengers, and has be-
sides compartments for the electric
ian and conductor. There are two
air brakes, one to temper the speed
and another to stop the car entirely.
The electricity is fed the car by a
copper cable properly connected with
q, contact rail. The rail is carried on
china insulators. The current ia
passed through collectors to the mo-
tors.
Mr.. Behr expects that his invention
will be adapted not only to short dis
tances, where traffic is very heavy,
but to long distances through the
country, where the traffic is large.
This will be used as sort of light
ming express, for persons who are in
hurry to get from place to place.
1t is not expected that the invention
will supersede the present railway.
1t will rather supplement it.
The question of cost is very i'm
portant, as it is agreed that the rail-
way will cost $4,000 to 100000 a
mile. Mr.. Behr says that the de-
creased cost of operation will bring
down total expenses below the limits
of present steam railways.

Republican Political Heroes.

Alas and alas, the hopes of Kansas
Republicans are all blasted. General
Fred Funston don't want to be Gov
ernor. The grand old party can't
elect anybody else, and therefore
there is weeping and wailing among
the faithful. General Funston is a
sensible man and he would rather be
a hero than politician. He is grand
in tho heroic line. but he might make
a poor Governor. Dewey will not run
for President. Schley is not Re-
publican, and Funston refuses to be
used catspaw to pull political
chestnuts. The Republicans will
have to rely for political hero on
Alger, who can run on his beef rec
ord, or on Sampson, who fights with
his jawbone instead OF his sword, or
ON Shafter, who won great battle
while lying in a hammock over in
another county. But even these do
not exhaust the Republican assort-
ment of heroes. Otis is left, the man
who runs the censorship department
and surpresses the dispatches Of Ne.
braska mothers to their soldier sons.

Agumaldo. He has not yet suppress
