cables increasing the length greatly de-
creases the speed Of signalling. and to
compensate for this decrease requires
much more expensive construction for

about two hundred letters, or, say,

COLONEL CODY.

To-day will be a spectacular day in
New Haven unless the weather is too
spectacular. Again "the Wild West
comes to this center of tameness and
again will the people, irrespective Of
age, color or previous condition Of ser
vitude, turn out to see the show that
stirs their blood and gives them hints
of what life in the wild West was in
the days when Colonel Cody was an
able and trusted scout and guide and
was earning the picturesque name of
Buffalo Bill. Colonel Cody's romantic ca
reer makes him very interesting fig
ure, and as he rides at the head of his
bold men to-day he will be the center of
attraction to all who know his connec-
ton with historic events during a very
stirring and impressive period of this
country's history.

burden upon towns to hold them bound
to keep their roads in such a state of

State has so far recognized the insult
ableness of the ordinary roadway for
bicycles as to give power to cities and
towns to construct and maintain paths
for bicycles, from which horses are eX-

4 CUKIO Us CH4HG II.

That is very curious charge made
by the Chicago Times-Herald that
member of the Platform committee in
the Republican National Convention re-
ceived a $4,000 fee for using the word
'isthmian" instead of nicaragua"
when he came to draw UP the para
graph treating of the canal project.
Lemuel Ely Quigg, who was secretary
of the committee, said yesterday that
the paper had published a statement
which it could not substantiate, and
that counsel had been already INSTRUCT
ed on behalf of one member of the COM
mittee to call the paper to account. Mr..
Quigg added that the word "isthmian'
had been used in order to avoid an as
sumption of prerogative in naming the
course the canal should take.
This is certainly reasonable expla-
nation of the use of the word, and
it is not easy to see how
'isthmian" could be worth $1,000 to any

machine rather than a carriage-at
least it is not such a carriage as the
statute contemplates, which provides
that no damage can be recovered "by a
person whose carriage and load thereon

this point the courts opinion is: 1T
seems to us that the legislature, by the
use Of the word carriage had in view
a vehicle which could carry passengers

its load, six tons" The court further

Many independent voters are not COM

But when they come to consider voting
for Bryan and Organism thsg find that
they can't do it. Senator Hoar has
been and still Is opposed to the policy
which brought on the war in the Phil
ippine Islands. but he isn't going to vote
for Bryan, for the following reasons:
Whether we consider the character of
the candidates, the character of the
counsellors they will bring with them
into power the effect on the prosperity
and happiness of the American people,
or the ultimate triumph of liberty and
Justice in the distant islands which have
been brought under our control, the al
tentative of Mr.. Bryan and David B,
Hill, or any other associate the Demo-
cratic party is likely to give him, is
not to be thought of for moment. Mr.
Bryan's election will mean the overturn
of the protective system, now happily
established, and the wonderful prosper
ity 1t has brought to all classes Of the
people; dishonest and tluctuating cur
rency; great diminution of the value of
all debts and savings; the overthrow Of
the authority of the Supreme court; a
dangerous assault on property; social
ism; the complete success of the at
tempt now going on to disfranchise TO-
100000 American citizens at home, and
render null and void the great Consti-
tutional amendments.
Perhaps Senator Hear has overdrawn
the picture little, but he makes it
plain why he and many others can't
vote for Bryan.
