The Weston Democrat wants TO

geld and its advocates continue to asi-
tate 1t and keep Its feeble pulse going.
But sound and honest money men are
not advising the Popuiistic wing Of the
Democracy to drop it. Our Weston

Mr.. Elkins on Ccntury's Progress.

ME. t.lklnS on CCntury'S Progress.
Elsewhere in this mornings Intelli-
gencer will be found the full text Of
the scholarly address delivered by
Senator Elkins before the West Vir-
GINA Editorial Association. which met
4 In his home town last week. 1t is not
of Interest only to newspaper men Of
the state, but to all citizens, for 1t COW
ers broad field. and discusses ably
and eloquently the progress OF the
nineteenth century in all lines of de-
relopment, Intellectual. industrial.
scientific, invention, and the great part
that has been borne by the press in the
work, particularly in the last fifty
years.
Senator Elkins is an optimist, a losl-
CAL not visionary, one, and thor
oughly believes in the greatest possl-
bilities of the future. based upon the
wonderful achievements and advance
. ments of the dying century. Much
that is OF especial interest to West Vir-
ginia is contained in the address.
1t is the truth. though apparently a
startling one. when the senator states
that measured by all standards. by
the good done the world and mankind,
making the individual better. lifting
. him up to higher levels. subduing sell
iishness. increasing charity, the spread
Of light and religion, more has been
accomplished in this century than in
any ten centuries past" He is right.
His review of what has been accomp-
lIshed. though brief. is graphic and In
structive.

dress to the careful perusal Of all Its
readers. 1t will bear the strongest
light OF public scrutiny. as the utter
ance of Il predetermined man OF affairs.

edge of history, past and current. is

questions which are appropriate to the
dawning OF still greater century OF

Says the Register: 1.-THE IntellIgencer
lauds the ticket selected by the Ohio
Republican convention. OF course, it
would have done that In any event"
This able comment Is doubtless intend
ed to call public attention to the fact
that the Register does not laud all
tickets nominated by the Democrats;
that 1t customarily repudlates them
and advises Its readers to vote the Re-
publican ticket as a choice between
evils. The independence Of the Regis
ter, and its total lack of craftsmanship
IN refusing to endorse Tammany tick
cts In New York, Altgedlsm In ILL.,
hols. Organism In Nebraska, and Its
strict adherence to non-partlsan poll
cy. are SO well known In this communl-
ty. and in the state at large, that no
arguments are needed on our part to
further impress the fact on the public
mind.
When the readers take up the Regis
ter they never expect to see anything
denunciatory of Republicans. even of
the Republican President. but always
thoroughly conservative tone of
peace and good will and broad minded
American support Of the American
government. And they always know
how well the Register carries out Its
buslness-like policy Of denouncing
movement to establish n deprecated
and unsafe currency system. based on
a fifty-cent dollar. which civilized gov
ernments have abandoned, and gives
its hearty non-partisan endorsement OF
financial honor and national credit.
This lberallty has nothing to do
with our friends support of all the
varieties Of JeffersonIan Democracy

The capture of Morong and the drir-
ing Of the insurgent troops from their
stronghold by the Washington troops
under Colonel Whalley. with scarcely
any loss. was one OF the most import
ant achievements OF the heroic western
troops occurring recently. The natives
were scattered in all directions. and
took to the hills. The Americans now
occupy the town. The aggressive
movement now being made Is clearing
the Morong peninsula OF the rebels,
and Kidding that portion of Luzon from

do you mean to tell me you have cycled
down an avalanche"
I haNe cycled down forty-seven of
them this season, and never had an
accident, except once 1 punctured the
tire of the front wheel
But how do you know when an
avalanche is going to start? AS
understand you, you must travel with
1t from the beginning. There are no
avalanche time tables in Switzerland
that l ever heard Of
No. | don't wait for avalanches;
make my own. You see, at the top of
a mountain. if a man starts a SNOWFALL
down hill, it becomes an avalanche on
very short notice My cycle is SO con-
structed that it throws up a bit Of
SNOWFALL as it goes along. l start from
the top of a peak, in any direction, and
the first thing know / am in the midst
of a tremendous avalanche. On the
front of the machine are couple of
fins, if l may call them so. which
spread out automatically, and they
keep the cycle steady. The great point
is, of course. TO remain upright in your
saddle and keep your machine on the
surface of the avalanche. There is
lots OF room on top as the philosopher
says, and that applies to avalanches
as TO everything. else. There are three
dangers to man coming down without
a machine on an avalanche: first, he
may. be smothered in the debris; sec
conds he may be smashed against
rock; third, he may get ahead of the
avalanche and the wind which it
causes. VIII Kill HIM More people are
killed every year in Switzerland by the
wind of an avalanche than by the ava
lanches themselves. Now, you see, go
ing with the avalanche you are out of
the wind; then the fins on my machine
keep you from sinking in the snow, and
if you strike a rock the wheels revolve
and send you up into the air, where,
after most delightful fight, steadied
by the patent fins have spoken of,
you join the avalanche lower down. 1
know of nothing more eXhilarating than
going eleven miles in two minutes and
sixteen seconds. When the avalanche
quits business at the bottom your
momentum carries you out of it until
you strike some path and then you
cycle along as any ordinary man
would on any ordinary wheel. 1 in
tend to get up avalanche parties for
Switzerland next summer, and we
would be very glad to have you join
u.s."
There was a deep silence after John
w. Simpson had concluded. 1 mopped
my brow and thought deeply for
while! then 1 said to the man who sat

next Simpson, Lapthorn Davis by
name:
4 suppose you have been avalanch-
ing with your friend also?"
NO" said Davis with sigh; I'm
afraid 1 am rather a reckless person,
and tame, plain ordinary avalanche
cycling, such as my friend Simpson de-
lights in, has few attractions. for me.
I have been practising with my aquatic
bicycle, which has quite justified ALI
the expectations 1 had Of it,
Dear me~ said l, and what is an
aquatic bicycle?"
well, perhaps you have been over in
Havre and have seen the new roller
steamer, the Ernest Basin, invented
and built by an engineer of that
name. AS doubtless you know, it goes
on six wheels, which are simply eX-
aggerated pneumatic tires made Of
steel. There are three on each side,
and Sir Edward Reed says that he be-
lieves this wheeled boat will mark an
era in steam navigation. 1t struck me
that a bicycle on two wheels could be
made on somewhat similar lines.
accordingly ordered two gigantic pneu-
matte tires, a foot and a half through.
l had these fitted on my wheel and
practiced for q while on a pond at
home in a bathing suit, until l got
thorough control of my machine"
DO you mean to say you venture on
the surface Of the water with that ma
chine-hOw do you keep ahOat? Doesn't
it turn over and sink you?"
Yes it is a. little apt to do that until
you get accustomed to it. OF course,
You turn the wheel toward the direction
you are falling, and by and by you go
along on the surface of the water as if
you were on a smooth road. OF course,
I don't advise any one to practice in
an ordinary suit, but even then there
is little danger, because the two wheels
form life preservers when the machine
goes over. At first l intended to take
off these huge covers when l was
cycling along the road, but after
found they made the machine very
easy riding I didn't trouble to remove
them, but ran along the road until
came to a canal or a river and then
took TO the water. coming out on the
road again when / got tired of aquatic
travelling"
But can you get up any speed or
that machine?"
THAT is Just the trouble a. my
wheel is now constructed you can't &C
very fast on the water. but think that
might be easily regnedied by sort of I'm
shaped paddles. like my friend has on
his avalanche bike; still. it was not for
smooth water l wanted 1t. You see
there are a great many cataracts in
Switzerland, of which. owing 10 their
situation, it is impossible to get COM
