The Coming Automobile.

1t was not many years ago that occas-
sionally some newspaper would say: "The
bicycle has come to stay" not intending
the assertion of proven fact, but rather
prophecy. The prediction was doubted
by many persons, and perhaps the news
paper which put it forth did not wholly
credit it. Very many could not conceive
it possible that any considerable number
would prefer method of travel which in
volved more or less personal exertion
when they could travel without other
exerton than guiding horse. Yet the
prediction was not only fulfilled, but the
fulfilment is in progress beyond the exact
limit Of the prophecy. 1.-THE bicycle has
come to stay" and the number of riders
is steadily increasing. 1t has displaced
horses in very considerable numbers, and
it has lessened trolley and, perhaps also,
steam railway revenues. 1t seems to have
achieved permanent favor.
But rival is looming into view, viz,
the automobile. This machine elimin-
ates almost wholly the element of per-
sonal exertion, excels the bicycle in
comfort, and is, or may yet be, its SUI
perior in speed. Perhaps we may say,
as of the bicycle several years ago, it
''has come to stay" AS in the former
case this is not yet the assertion of a
proven fact, but rather a prophecy.
Possibly, all may not credit the pro
phecy. There is, however, but one
point on which to base doubt and
that is the matter of cost. AS with BIZ
cycles some years ago, price is out of
proper proportion to probable cost of
manufacture, but competition will, as
in the case of bicycles, regulate the
matter. When the prices of automobiles
reach the point of comparison with the
cost of horses and carriages, the former
will largely displace the latter, and when
they approximate the cost of bicycles,
they will very largely displace the now
popular wheels. And at that time, we
may consider the prophecy. The
automobile has come to stay" as full
filed.
This matter has a strong bearing upon
the good roads movement. The grow
ing use of the bicycle has exercised
strong influence thereupon, but any
considerable use of the automobile will
exercise a greater. While the former
requires smooth surface, the latter adds
the requirement of stable strength, f0r
it is heavy, while the wheel is light.

facts relative to the automobiles we've

IL BRIEF. Against tide, wind and a
heavy head sea for at least half her course,
the new battleShip Kentucky made "A rec
ord of lG.S77 knots an hour on ler official
speed trial Nov. 24th, over the govern
ment course from Cape Ann to Boone
Island, and by iler work, showed that she
is a little faster than her sister ship, the
keal sarge, which recently was sent over
the same course. The trial satisfied her
builders, the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock company that she can Justly
be rated as a II knot vessel, although her
contract calls for only Is knots, as they
expect that when the figures of this trial
are revised and tidal allowances made. it
will be found that she actually averaged
II knots on her rum. The court Of ap-
peals at Frankfort Ky, Nov 18th decided
that Taylor is entitled 10 1877 more Nelson

votes counted for W. s. Taylor, and this
order is affirmed. 49,. The Georgia division

Keep Your Eye on This Man.

Keep Your Eye on This Man.
Jones, who a few days since
was reelected mayor of To.
ledo, Ohio, is a socialist; he
favors municipal ownership of
franchises. He was elected
BY $4,000 plurality. Now he
is a candidate for governor of
Ohio. Jones was originally a
republican, but was deprived
OF a denomination by intrigue
after he had carried the pri,
maries. He then announced
himself an independent candi.
date on a platform favoring mu.
nicipal ownership. He was op.
posed by the street railway
companies who are soon to ap.
ply for franchises said to be
worth $7,ooo,ooo. Jones is
bitter in his antagonism to cor.
porate wealth, and it is for this
reason, it is said, he failed of a
denomination. Jones was sup
ported by labor organized and
unorganized, and the saloon ell
sment supported him to man.
The unanimous support of the
saloon keepers came to him as
q reward for his refusal to en-.
force the state Sunday closing
law. Jones holds that an ex-
ecutive has discretion in en-.
forcing a law that is against
public sentiment, and conse-
quently the rear doors of the
saloons in Toledo re-.
main open on Sunday. Keep
Your eye on Jones.
