visers Of Colonel Burns now realize that
he cannot win The last chance of
winning out has gone glimmering.
There are no more bright and alluring
devices to be sprung. The colonel is up
against the real thing now, and for the
first time in his life begins to feel the
power of public Judgment. He is no
longer the self composed, unrufffed po-
litical manager. When advised to-day
by high State official to withdraw
from the hopeless contest for the sake
of the Republican party, he became
fiercely indignant and exclaimed:
"To hell with the party"
Burns cannot be elected Senator. He
must get his coveted vindication
through the courts or the ballot box.
He cannot get it from this Legislature,
for the majority Of Republicans look
to higher considerations than the graft
ification OF personal ambitions. While
the Colonel cannot win, he still pos
sesses the power to punish, and the
way he threatens is calculated to make
the weak and timid fear for results.
Colonel Burns has written the epi-
taph for Senator Bulla's political tomb
stone. The refusal of the Los Angeles
Senator to entertain for an instant the
coloneFs demand for a caucus caused
great outburst of wrath in the camp
of the Candelaria candidate. The sig
nal has gone out from the corral that
Buila is politically damned for all time
and that no consideration must be
shown him. The railroad is to black
list him and down him whenever he
raises his head. In short. the Colo
nel'' has read him out of the Republi-
can party, and Herrin stands ready to
drive him from the State.
Bulla, it seems, had the manliness to
fatty refuse to take orders from the
corporation and to make his refusal so
emphatic that his meaning could not be
misunderstood. The most vigorous on
slaught to break up Senator Bulla's lit
tie camp may be the next order given.
1t is as true as gospel that Burns, now
full of hatred, is out for revenge. He
will probably remain in the field as
long as he can inf1ict punishment on
his political enemies, and when he re-
tires will send his forces to the aid Of
the candidate least Objectionable to
him before the Legislature. "

STEAM
In Preference to Other Force on the
Manhattan,

New York, Jan. 22.-Russell Sage,
discussing the project to equip the
Manhattan elevated railway with elec-
trio motive power, said il was only in
embryo as yet, He continued:
'Mr. Westinghouse in 1896 sub
mitted a proposition to equip the l.
system with electricity. said to him,
Mr.. Westinghouse, my motto has al
ways been first safety. next comfort,
then economy. Now, as to the first:
We have record which has never
bee nequaled by any railroad in the
world We are running trains less
than two minutes apart and carrying
thousands Of passengers 4 day, yet we
have record of so few persons in
jured that not a transportation comp
any in the world can compare with it.
This is possible with our intelligent
engineers. 1t is a record l am proud
of. Now, can you offer anything to
beat 1t?
I don't know anything about cleo
trlcity,' | said to him. and | don't be-
lieve anybody else knows much about
it, for l read about professors going up
to adjust live wires and falling down
dead. That doesn't look like a thor
ough knowledge of the subject. Now,
we do know about steam, and we know
what we can do with it on the L."'
We'll, 4dr. Westinghouse asked me
to give him a year to study the sub
ject. He said he would employ the
most famous expert in the electrical
world and send him abroad to study
every point of the subject. He took a
year and half, and then asked for an
other year, and then Mr.. Westinghouse
came to me and said:
"'You had better stick to steam for
the present,

orable of him. Here is where the L
company stands today:

motive power, but we will make no

to be cheaper and then have costly

Why a concern which depends upon
railroads for the placing of its product
upon the market should want to get a
location at Parkersburg, we do not un-
derstand. Especially when Marietta
Is so near, and has far better railroad
facilities than Parkersburg. At Park
ersburg there is practically no ?ompe-
tition between the roads, as one runs
north and south while the other runs
east and west, whereas the various
lines here are so situated that any one
of them can take shipment to any
point that any of the others can, and
thus the shipper IS assured the lowest
freight rates that is practical and are
sure of good treatment from the peo-
pie Of the city and have various ad-

The Terrible Microbe.

The list of harmful microbes-those
of plague, cholera, typhoid, etc.-was
already long enough, but new ones are
being discovered every day. The lat
est, says the "Volonte," is the incendi-
airy 'microbe, which according to M.
Jean de Loverdo, causes spontaneous
combustion.
The spontaneous combustion of hay
appears to be its work. Among those
who have been converted to the evil
dence of facts is a large Austrian
farmer. He had stored 300 cart loads
OF hay and cereals in barn to which
no one had access and after few days
perceived that the middle of the heap
was becoming heated.
At first he paid little attention to
this, but when at he end of week a
light vapor began to appear he gave
orders for clearing out the barn. His
men set to work but as soon as they
began to disturb the middle of the
heap, flames burst ont in all directions
and it was all they could do to escape
from the burning building, which was
soon reduced to ashes.
Damp, says the "Volonte," is partic-
ularly favorable to the development of
the incendiary microbe and spontan-
eous combustion is much more fire.
quent in seasons when hay has been
spoiled by rain than in dry ones. Fa-
vored by the moisture, the microbes
multiply enormously and attack veget-
able fibres, which they do not take long
to digest
A certain amount of heat is soon
given out, and before long the temper
ature rises in a most extraordinary
way. 1t has been known to reach 300
degrees centigrade in the parts in
which the microbes are at work and
transforms the hay into a light car
bonaceous matter, which is consumed
without flame in the absence of oxygen

air is admitted. Who, says the vol
orte," could ever have thought that
