THE ONLY WAY OUT /.

There IS growing prospect of the
Democratic party getting together,
notwithstanding the active efforts of
defeated and discredited candidate to
party harmony and unity.
There is a manifest disposition to get
away from dead issues. The Wash
ington Post states the case this way:
'Not only great and growing ma
jority of all the men who would like
to vote the Democratic ticket, but all
conservative citizens regardless of
party desire to see the Democracy cast
off the frayed and tattered rags of
Populism and get back to Democratic
principles get as far as possible from
the debasement of currency and fell
Iowship with party that has, in two
campaigns, consented to accept a so
cent dollar as a compromise between a
good dollar and its ideal dollar, scrap
of irredeemable paper. The country
needs strong and safe opposition to
the party in power. This necessity is
conceded by the general intelligence,
conservatism, and patriotism of all
sections. And this necessity is, we
are glad to believe, within reach. It
will be supplied by the solidly Demo
cratic section if the party leaders in
the South will do what they know that
the situation demands. Sound cur
rency and so much of protection as
American labor needs for the main
tenance of American wages are jndis-
pensable features of any platform on
which the Democracy could hope fol-
success. On such a platform the par
ty would have ample room for strong
campaign against the standpatters-
great fight against tariff abuses. Tc
such platform Republican recruits
would rally"
Without apologizing for past con
duct, Democrats who stood faithfully
by the party when its conduct was
such as to cause many of its veteran
members to refuse to follow 1t in it,
alteration, see and admit the necessi
ty of a change of tactics if complete
humiliation is to be prevented. They
have grown impatient of exhortations
to continue to accept the advice anC
leadership that have brought the par
to its present condition. They want
new deal-a realignment of forces on
plan of campaign that gives some hop,
of success. The rank and file of th,
party is all right. Let the leaders ge
together, and party reunion is &C
complished.

A GAILY DECORATED SPRUCE IN

e PATHETIC STORY OF RECENT
BEREAVEMENT. 4.

Lets take the Christmas tree out

begged little Mabel. Arnold yesterday,
while her father, Philip j. Arnold,
was fastening red candy and gilt pa
per and popcorn and dollies and
.'efer'sing for dolly's house, to the big

to see the pretty tree, but she can't
come home.
And so,'' said Mr.. Arnold, repeat
ing these persuasions afterwards II
agreed to what my little girl asked
my only little girl now. Her brothers,
Philip and Willie. were just as anxious
as she was, and, besides, it's the Gus
tom in the part of Germany. where
I#used to live to have prayers for. dead
relatives before the Christmas tree.
The pastor comes and makes a short
address,.
The tree, fully decorated, was taken
to the German Lutheran cemetery on
Dale. street yesterday afternoon. Last
evening Mr.. Arnold, his family, ard
several guests rode out, to the. cene-
terry. They We're accompanied by Rev.
Karl Koch, pastor of st. Paul's Ger

sented, at last, to permit them TO
visit the grave if they would not il
luminate the tree. 80
BY the light of a lantern, therefore,
the Arnold family surrounded EtheIs
grave and the big Christmas tree be-
side the headstone. Sister Mabel hung
wax flowers on the tree for Ethel"
she said, and festooned the bs-nches
with grapes and bright colored can
dies. The pastor prayed for the dead
child. He added that it was pleasant
to see that the grave could be rob bed
somewhat Of its sorrow with the
sweet cheer of Christmas hope.

M MARCONI PLANT.

4NoW OIh, JUL WithOso-
ing the succe ssful tests of the Marconi
system of wireless telegranhy of
South Wellsheet, Mass. E. @. Laur
ent. an electrician and engineer. re
turned to New York greatly impressed
with the practicability of wireless
telegraphy for commercial purposes.
Describing Marconi's plant at South
Wellsf1eet, Mr.. Laurent says:
THE fo.t towers which carry the
electric wav rs up into the atmosphere
are 220 feet above the ground. having
a base of white sand ON a promontory
about $50 feet high; The sand hill
terminating abruptly. forming sort
of natural wall almost vertical.
"a windmill on the northeast cor
ner of the operating room is contlnu.
ally working. and rotating a small dy-
namo. is used to charge storage
battery. There is also hydro car
nator used in generating the high po-
tential current necessary to produce
the Hertz waves, which will be in
stantlv detected by the sensitive in
strument placed at Cornwall. There
are few people out side Of the special
lists who make a regular study Of
wireless telegraphy who have an idea
of the means used to transmit a signal
at a distance without wires. Yet the
principle of wireless telegraphy is
rather simple and can be easily un
derstood by any one of the average in
telligence.
''For instance. everybody knows
that an electric current is character
lied by its voltage. or pressure just as
steam may be determined by the
amount of pound pressure. The cur
rent pressure in the wires which form
the circuit of an ordinary incandescent
light is little above hundred
volts. but with that pressure the
electric current cannot jump an air
gap, even very small. unless helped
with some molten body like metal. or
carbon, as in the arc lamp
But. if the current pressure goes
up into the thousands. the current
can jump between two wires separat-
ed by an air gan and produce q spark.
This spark possesses a peculiar proper
ty. 1t reduces magnetic waves. which
spread around the balls and through
nearly all bodies to great distance.
''If "a small glass or rubber tub, )
placed in their path they render the
metal filings with which the tube is
filled conductive of electricity. while
under other circumstances the filings
so placed do not allow an electric cur
rent to pass through them. In that
manner it can be seen that if, in
given point spark of the kind is pro-
duced. and tube of filings placed
certain distanc, away. when the spark
is produced the current of battery
will go through the filings and oper-
ate a bell or a telegraph instrument.
That is the secret of wireless telegra-
ply. and that is the basic plan now
being successfully tested by Signor
Marconi.
Mr.. Laurnet said that large num-
ber of electrical experts were watch
ing the progress of the work at South
Wellsfieet. and that TO all Signor Mar
conf gave a cordial greeting.
