A trolley in Tho Straits settlement.

The Sultan OF Johore has come un-
der the mysterious influence Of the
American trolley, and. like all other
civilized and unciviliZed rulers who
have made its acquaintance, he at
once sought to enlighten his country
men. As a result he has placed an or
der with an American firm amounting
to nearly S1,OOO,OOO for an electric
street railway equipment complete In
every detail. This road is intended for
Johore, native Indian princlpality,
situated in the extreme southern por-
ton Of the Malay Peninsula and separ-
ated from the Anglo-Indian city Of
Singapore in the Straits Settlements
by only n narrow strip Of land. The
acceptance Of the order says the Elec-
trical Review, carries with it the in
stallation Of the road and the training
Of the Malays in its operation and
maintenance.

Men in large cities either do not
marry at all or wait until late in life.
This is the reason why people in small
towns MARI. young. Two people COM
mence go together. Within month
the gosslrs begin commenting on what
a nice couple they are, and predicting
that they will marry. Things drift
along this way until the gosslps be-
come impatient, and then they begin
abusing the man, and say that he is
just fooling the girl and will cast her
aside. The girl hears this, tells her
lover, and suggests that they marry.
The man gets mad at the gossips and
marries the gin. Marriages are not
made in heaven. They are made by
the gossips in a small town. Not one
man in ter wants to marry. The aver
age man is In love with his liberty, in
dependence and lack Of responsibility,

consider the gossips their faithful al

volume on the cause and prevention cf
decay in teeth, attributes the great

Saries among civilized nations to the
elimination Of the coarser and more

methods Of manufacture, and points
out that this may act in two ways
Firstly, owing to the absence Of me-

questions l ask:

electoral votes OF North Carolina: be-

This question is not TO be met by
saying that there are trusts In which
Republicans are Interested. The point
is question OF good faith. or of hy-

Acknowledged Facts.
In the campaign cf 1896 Mr.. Bryan
went up and down the country dcciar-
ing that. II the Republican party
should be successful. Increased distress
would be experienced. He WAS very
positive on that point. making no quail
ticafion whatever. Every reader re-
members the tenor OF his arguments.
He was not merely OF the opinion that
Republican Success would cause misery
throughout the country-hc was GER
tain Of II and dogmatically declared
that such would bc the result.
Every reader also knows that Mr..
Bryan's assertions have been disproved.
We all know that the distress that pre-
vailed at the time OF the campaign of

after the election and that prosperity
for NIL classes was soon established in
its place. But Il IL Interesting to trace
the transformation from reports made
on the subject from time to time by
persons whose special duty II Is TO keep
in touch with conditions affecting those
who work for wages. In n signed

forced down from 1893 till toward the
end OF 1S95. and II was variously csti-
mated that between two million and
two million and half million wage
earners were unemployed.
About year later President Com
