CITY OF THE FUTURE
Electricity Will Make 1t Noiseless
and Clean.
Editor of Electrical Review Draws a
Glowing Picture of what May
BE Accomplished In No
Distant Day.

In discussing the noiseless electrical
city Charles w. Price, editor of the
Electrical Review, says:
"In the ideal city distracting noises
will be unknown and dirt and all un-
clean things will be kept without its
pale. Electricity is the magician that
can and assuredly will work the
change.
This admirable day may not be SO
far away. We move rapidly now.
Twenty-Five years ago there was no
telephone, the electric light existed
only in the labora cries of few expert
mentors, and the electric motor, in the
form of an ingenious toy, was looked
upon as an ingenious little machine of
no practical utility. The car horse
jingled his bells on our streets; the
electromobile was still only dream,
and the cab horse and draft horse mon
arch of our roadways.
Electric power stations and electric
light stations are being located far
Their and farther away from the city's
heart; the horse ear, the steam loco
motive, the engine in the basement, the
coal stove, are one and all being re-
placed by the quiet, odorless and effect
i've electric motor, by the electric loco
motive, and surely but slowly by the
electric heater.
The citizen of New York may to-day
have his office cooled by his electric fan,
lighted by his incandescent electric
light, and heated, it may be, by cleo
tricity; and his electric telephone
gives him communication with the
country at large, and the same wire
may carry his telegraph message ST.
multaneously without interferencewith
the spoken word, so skillfully has the
magic art of the telephonist prevailed.
Electricity will soon supplant the
steam locomotive on the elevated roads
of this city, and it is believed will soon
replace all steam locomotives now en-
tering Greater New York. The tunnel
now being constructed under Greater
New York will owe its success in carry
ing passengers rapidly and comfort
ably chiefly to that mighty taisman,
the electric current
THE rubber-tired electromobile is
rapidly replacing the driven horse, and
will replace him not only for driving
but for heavy hauling purposes.
The awful and constant volume of
sound of his unnumbered thousands of
fron-shod feet hammering resounding
pavements will disappear forever, and
with it 80 per cent. of the filth and odor
of the street. With the passage of the
horse will go also the stone pave
ments."

An editorial item prepared by the
Hanna editorial bureau which we have
seen in most of our republican en-
| changes as original editorial matter is
to the effect that there has been an
advance of several dollars in the price
of the COW. There has also been an
advance in the price of several other
articles, every one of which the farm
cr must buy and use. The New York
journal summarizes as follows: and
farmers tell us that its statements are
true as they know from experience.
1t requires so per cent more wheat
to buy stove than it did in 1896.
1t requires twenty bushels more corn
to buy wagon than it did in 1896.
1t requires 100 per cent more corn
or wheat to buy copper kettle than
in 1896.
1t requires twice as much corn to
buy coil of rope as in 1896.
1t requires 40 per cent more grain to
buy plough than in 1896.
1t requires IS per cent more grain
to buy hoe, a rake or a shovel than
in 1896.
A set of common wheels that cost
81 in 1896 now costs $12.
The price of cultivatorS and other
farm implements has gone up proper
tionately.
Galvanized barbed wire costs from
81 to $3.50 per hundred more than in
1896.
1t requires 40 per cent more corn or
cotton to buy pound of sugar than
in 1896.
You have to pay 40 per cent more
for glass than in 1896.
Freight rates have climbed back to
the exorbitant prices which caused a
popular revolt in legislation a few
years ago.
The prices of oil, coal, lumber, tools
and hardware have gone up from 40 to
100 per cent.
And all these things have been done
by the trusts.
A trust robs you waking or sleeping,
eating or drinking, working or play
ing, living or dying, and the coffin
trust gets you in the end.
And the republican party is in favor
of trusts.

A clever Arizona woman who cleared
over $500 the past season on the olives
which she herself prepared for market
has invented special treatment which
bids fair to open new industry. Be-
sides the olives prepared in the usual
manner she put up large number,
using the same formula as for mustard
pickles. These found ready market,
the demand being far ahead OF the
supply. With the gathering of the crop
OF October she is planning to make a

Business is booming in Severance,

in the News of that place. The editor,
after gleefully calling attention to "the
vast press Of advertising in our col
umns," adds the following: "No room
for politics this week. Will simply an
nounce that Bryan and Stevenson were
nominated by the democrats for presi-
dent and vicepresident." Another Kan

damnable contemporaries say of US"

The Difference.

The territorial expansion procured
for the United States by Jefferson
consisted of atportion of the country |
west of the Mississippi. Its popula-
ton of French natives and halfbreeds
would not exceed one person to civil
township, and they were guaranteed
civil and political rights under the
constitution and admission as states
into the Union with equal sovereign
rights with the original states as soon
as they had the requisite population.
The price for all this vast territory
was S15,000,000, and no standing army
was required to maintain our posses
sions or to intimidate it's people into
submission. This vast territory was
contiguous to thatalready possessed by
our people, the Mississippi river over
which we obtained control by it's pur-
chase and it's numerous nayigable tribu-
taries capable of bearing upon its bos-
ON the commerce Of the world, and
distributing it among the future mil
lions destined to be its occupants.
Such expansion as that of Jefferson
meant the expansion of the truths of
the Declaration of Independence and
the protecting aegiS of the consti-
tuition and of the laws, expanded over
their territory for the full protection
of person and property.
The expansion of Mr.. Mckinley is
over a group Of islands 10000 miles
distant from the United States, for
which was paid 800, 900, 900; a group of
OF islands more densely populated than
any portion Of the United States and
containing eight times as many people
to the square mile as Iowa contains.
A people who for more than century
had been at war with Spain for it's in
dependence. A people said to be SO
dissimilar in habits, education and
ideas Of government that it is ques-
tion whether they could be incorpora-
ted into our republic as citizens. Thus
far in our attempt to govern them we
have expended 200,00O0OO of dollars
and are compelled to maintain an
army of 65, 900 men for their pacitica.
tion. The population OF the group OF
islands is estimated at ten millions,
their entire commerce with all the
world, is less than the production OF
of the state of Iowa, and as we stipu-
lated in the treaty with Spain for an
"open door" to It's trade but small
per cent comes to this country. Its
people instead Of being governed by
their own rulers are to be governed by
an army with military governors APP
pointed by the President, thus Eestab-
fishing the charge of militarism and
of Imperialism.
Our imports to the Philippines for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1900,
was $500, 449, largely in mules and
horses for the use of our army. Up to
July l, 1900 the cost of the Philippine
war proper, is reported to have been
1886, 100000, deducting our exports
shows that we have paid for this trade
1854, 999, 551 more than it was worth.
But greater loss than the dollars

protected against?"
Whereupon the infant industry re-
Sumed the old method of not letting
its right had know what it's left hand
was doing, all the while boasting of
its superior virtue because thereof.

The good fellow" girl is here.
There is no doubt about that. She

"d-n." She has a mannish stride,
takes long steps, swings her arms and
wears a polka-dot four-in-hand neck
scarf and white fedora hat, says the
Boston Herald. She talks horsey,
swings golf club, gets nut-brown tan
on her arms, and has command of the
entire vocabulary of sporting talk. She
knows all about men, but wouldn't
know how to hold baby If her life de-
pended on it. She does all this to earn
the title of good fellow" under the
impression that it makes her more pop
ular with men She feels that she must
allure men from their clubs, and in or
der to do this and enjoy his comrade-
ship she must be as near like him as pos
sible.
