| ment transforms the sound into q
| whispers, and when the speaker Whis-
pers. the receiver transforms it into
Q shout.
The receiver is selective, just as is
the normal ear. It picks up and accen-
tuates the important sounds. It's chief
business is to catch the important
sounds-the aspirarts, the sibyllants-
| and deliver them To the ear-pieces as
distinct, articulate sounds. There are
Is different pieces in this disk. The re-
ceiver is connected with a dry storage
battery three inches long, two inches
wide and half an inch thick. This mere
ly furnishes the power. 1t is carried
in a pocket in the corsage.
It is the business of the ear-piece,
which is held against the ear by the
hand or by mocha nical arrangement,
to receive the sounds selected and en-
phasized by the receiver, and drive them
to the nerve centers in those cases
where drum and bones are missing. The
instrument is capable of $50 ma jor adj
iustments and 2,SOG minor ones, so that
it can be fitted to that many conditions
of deafness. 1t has to be fitted to =
deaf person just as spectacles have to
be fitted to eyes. The acousticon is
sold only upon physicians prescrip-
ton.
When the children at the opera house
placed the ear-pieca against their ears,
the instrument was regulated so that it
performed the work of normal ears.
The sounds most difficult to hear be-
cause they were not articulated dis
tinctly were empha sized, although they
were not necessarily made louder, and
those which were loud and easily heard
were softened The inventor has found
some means of making metals, gases
and rubber to do the work Of the ear,
but the device must be regulated by
hand. 1t cannot do that which the nor
NAL ear does automatically. If the
drum is destroyed and the remaining
parts of the ear are still capable of
performing their functions. the acous-
ticon stirs the sluggish mechanism so
that it transmits articulate sounds. Ii
only the nerve centers remain the
they are called.
If the auditory nerve is destroyed. the
acousticon cannot make person hear.
In some cases it is found that the part
of the brain of deaf mutes which has
to do with hearing is undeveloped or
paralyzed Their cases also are hope
less.
But there are very few such victims.
The Instruments used by those who
attended the opera were all adjusted
differently. and yet the sounds they
heard were practically the same. Like all
persons who have long been deaf, their
unframed brains could not eliminate
the sounds they do not want to hear.
Wherefore thev were confused much

AS to Taxing Bachelors.

New York is laughing because of q
proposed law to put tax on bachelors
and spinsters. 1t seems like joke in
the east. Perhaps the author Of the
bill Intended it for joke. But
D MT forget that Europe is pouring
millions of human beings into the
country. And that these people are
prolific. They have not learned that
large families are questionable.
They have not become wise, and SO
continue to fill their homes with lusty
boys and girls and live as nature in
tended.
The native stock is in the minority
in the United States. The descend
ants of those who settled in this coun-
try prior to 1885 were in the majority
up to 1890, but now the figures are GO
ing the other way. Immigration is
partially responsible for the result,
and decrease in the size of American
families did the rest In these days
an American family of ten children ia
considered a big item by the news
papers. A few generations ago chill
dren were welcome. Now, in many
homes they are only tolerated.
The man who can marry and does
not is not as good citizen as the man
who marries and rears family. The
first falls short of his full duty to his
country. A nation can not stand still.
When it ceases to grow it begins to
die. The men who have not made
homes for themselves and their pos
sible families have missed, first, hap
piness, and, second, have failed to
assist in the growth of country that
now depends on foreign blood for it's
population increases.
As for the taxing of the splnsters,
that is nonsense, until society shall
recognize the right of women to pro-
pose marriage. They have the legal
right, of course, but until they are as
free as men to select and WOO the OPP
posite sex, it is useless to even think
of putting penalty on their condition.

The ReOrganIZers.

When the Iroquois Club of Chicago
celebrated jackson day on the 10th,
with Edward NJ. Shepard, of New
York, as its principal guest and
speaker, it would have exhibited a
better conception of the fitness OF
things political had it refrained from
inviting supplementary speakers whose
presence was calculated to give to the
occasion the air of reorganization"
banquet.
1t may be that a politicosocia club,
composed of conservatives and radicals,
OF gold Democrats and free silver Dem
ocrats, of protection Democrats and
free trade Democrats, of pro-trust
Democrats and anti.tr Democrats,
and of imperialist Democrats and anti
imperialist Democr as Judge Tuley
in the opening speech at the banquet
described the Iroquois Club to belt
is possible, we say, that a social club
so constituted may flourish. But Sim
ilarly constituted, the Democratic
party cannot flourish and ought not to
flourish. While these diverse ele-
ments may live in peace and harmony
within the precincts of the Iroquois
Club, they cannot unite within po-
litical party TO direct the legislation Of
the country. Republicans in senti-
ment belong with the Republican
party, not with the Democratic, no
matter what social club they may
choose to join.
But it would be unfair to hold Mr..
Shepard and his friends OF the Iroquois
Club responsible for the incompre-
hensible management of this banquet,
which has created an opportunity for
Republican and pluto Democratic pa
pers. to gloat over the affair as a step
toward the ''reorganization" of the
Democratic party and identify him and
them with the "reorganizers. Mr..
Shepard is not a "reorganizer, nor is
he in sympathy with the "reorganiz-
ing" movement While he believes,
with all democratic Democrats from
Mr.. Bryan down, that no one should
be ruled out Of the party because he
has at any time in the past, whether
once or twice or always, voted against
Democratic candidates, he also be-
lieves and declares that only those
who are willing to unite upon demo-
cratic principles and policies have any
proper place in the counsels of the
Democratic party. This is quite the
reverse OF the 'reorganizing' pro-
gramme. Pleading the Importance of
party success regardless of political
principle, the "reorganizers'' seok to
re-establish in control of the Demo
cratic organization the same malign
leadership and influences that domi-
mated it prior to the revolution of 1896.
They propose to make Of it once more
a supplementary Republican party,
devoted to corporate interests in par
ticular and monopoly privileges in

An Age of Graft.

The art Of grating seems to have
been added to the curriculum of the
nation within the past few years and
experience, being costly but thor
principles persistently. New York.
Phiiad elphia, Chicago and Minnea-
polls have proven the best learners
OF the new art, but there is a sort of
preparatory school of other an small
or cities that may graduate into the
larger university of graft.
Government and state officials are
frqeuntly exposed to tile public view

Senators, congressman and others
are in the thick of the mire.
Mayors and police chiefs consider it
their especial privilege and hold up
their hands in horror il one of the
common people presumes to expostu-

And even the policemen and the
bailiffs and the rest of the little fell
lcws must have their share of the
spoils.

THE COAL SITUATION.

Already shortage of coal has
begun to assert itself. notwithstanding
the fact that the coal companies stated
before the strike aud still maintain
that there will be no shortage OF coal.
The railroads have already begun
coufscating coal assigned to dealers
and mills while 1t is al impossibility
for the small dealer to even get his
order on the book for coal.

The amount Of coal being taken out
of the independent mines of the state
is not drop in the bucket. and even
II 1t WAS, the union miners would
not allow the independent mines to
send coal away from their local towns
In Fremont county there is enough
coal for local consumption taken from
the independent mines but none will
be sent out
Gov. Peabody has defined his posi-
tion on the question of sending troops
to the coal mines as follows:
1.-The constitution of this state rec.
ognizes the right of every man to
labor without interference from any
source. 1t Is his inherent right to
earn living when the opportunity is
offered, and 1t is the duty of the
state to protect him if any effort is
made to stop him from exercising that
right.
1.-The governor of the state is sworn
to enforce the laws and constitution
on this point, and lis is required to
use the offices OF the state to protect
every man who wants to work. wheth.
or he be a union or non-union man.
The constitution makes no distinc-
tion between a union and non union
man. II either wants to work, the
other cannot aud must not interfere
with him.
II fully recognize the right of men
to organize. They have just as much
right to belong to union as they
