When the rope was cast off DR..

stopped the engines and started them
n gain, and then started off TO the south
at n high speed. Everything went
well until the airship arrived over
Bankers SiX-AIile house on the San
Bruno road. 1t was then going rap
idly toward San Jose: but something
went wrong with the machinery which
caused the airship to stop. The in
ventor and the engineer tried to ad-
just the break. and then after pause
the fans were started going and the
ship began to descend.
Came Down All Right.
To all appearance the fans were con-
trolling the ship, though it WAS con-
ceded that they were not quite large
and powerful enough to meet the
resistance of strong wind. Eye-wit-
ncSSes of the descent said that the air
ship came down gradually and touched
the ground gently, allowing the men
in the car to stFp out. Nothing was
injured either in the car on about the
gas bag. Dr. Grceth stated that what
happened could not Ee- set right with
out certain tools, and he deemed it
eXpedient to descend under the circum-
stances.
Fans Are To BE Enlarged.
The engine is an automobile ma
chine of fifty-horSe power, and it is
set up in a new frame much larger
and stronger than the first gas pipe
frame which carried Or. Greeth UP
with the former engine. 1t was dem
Onstrated that while the fans which
raise and lower the airship. and also
have considerable bearing on the steer
ing, are not large enough, Yet they
did very well under the circumstances.
They are to he enlarged. and also the

THE REAL QUESTION.

1t makes no difference to the city
or the taxpayers whether former So
licitor Worten informed the general
council that 1t was illegal to work
prisoners on the street or not. II does
not relieve the city of one particle Of
the responsibility for whatever it may
have done illegally, and does not dis
miss q single Ole of the suits. II the
solicitor had informed city officials
that working prisoners on the streets
was against the law, his advice
would probably have been ignored rs
il was in the matter of printing the
tax bills and Of requiring the property
owners to pay only half the cost Of
sidewalk reconstruction. The thing
with which the city has TO deal in this
small matter of half million dollars
worth OF lawsuits is not whether At
torney Worten told the city this or
that when he was solicitor. but with
how to get rid of the litigation. This
sort of child's play makes the average
citizen tired. 1t is plain that instead
Of looking about for some way to get
these suits settled and out of the way
the administration is busy going about
whining that the solicitor didn't tell
us" If they didn't know that
there was question about working
prisoners on the street then, they
certainly know it now. The fling of
the suits was more potert notice
than the mere opinion Of the city So
licitor would have been, and yet they
are still working the prisoners on the
street II u notice was all they wanted
to stop, why is it they haven't dis
pensed with the chaingaug. now that
half . MILLION dollars worth of suits
have been contracted for? Instead of
pulling the men off the street until the
question is settled they are putting
them out to work just the same every
day and paving the way for more dam
age suits. This shows what sort of
Judgment Is used in the administra-
ton of affairs.

was ready to graduate. his eyesight
failed him on account OF over Study

president and directors of the college
met and unanimously voted to award
him the diploma anyway. and now be

TELLING MIR. BRYAN ABOUT IT.

The Democratic party is not afraid
of Mr.. Bryan. but it is going to try
20 induce him to be good boy just the
same. Democrats claim they want
him to bolt, if that is all that will
satisy him, bat when they all get to
st. Louis, here is what they intend
10 do. according to one influential
Democrat" quoted in New York dis
patch:
"We are to have a consultation
with Mr.. Bryan at st. Louis, and in
effect, we are to tell him that we
certainly know him to be very
bright man, but that we can not
understand his conduct in denouncing
all Democrats with whom he has had
personal differences. We are also 60
tell Mr.. Bryan that the Democratic
party has honored him with two
nominations, and that the Democratic
party, leaders and rank and file, did
everything honorable and reasonable
in the two campaigns Of 1896 and
1890 to elect him to be Presidency,
and that no party. as a party could
have been more faithful or loyal to
the candidate than the Democratic
party was to him. All this we are to
say to him, and very much more, and
we are going to urge him to forget his
personal differences against Democrats
and to 90 in and join with rs in an
effort to elect the candidate, no
matter who may be named by the con.
yention.
I'm other words, we are first to
ask Bryan to be a good boy and not
to continue to act in his pestiferous
way. He should remember that he is
not the DemocrAtios party, and that
his conduct, especially recently, has
been altogether an assumption of
authority which can not be tolerated
by the party or the party's leaders,
and moreover, will not be tolerated.
"While we are goi ng to ask him to
be a good boy and support the ticket
and the platform, we are also to
make it very plain to Mr.. Bryan that
il he desires to bolt the conventions
candidate and the conventions plat
form he is at perfect liberty to do 30.
We don't desire any needless trouble
with him, but il he wants to give us
trouble after all the psrty has done
for him, we are perfectly ready and
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1904-06-01

even willing to meet him more than
half way.
"The Democratic leaders with
whom have convcrsed and who are
to have very important talk before
the st. Louis convention are convinc.
ed that it is time that Mr.. Bryan il
told frankly and most candidly the
opinion OF the party concerning him. u
AS further encouragement to Mr..
Bryan to be q good boy and take his
medicine, Mr.. Cleveland Is thus
quoted in recent dispatches as saying
this about the man Mr. Bryan is
fighting;
~ have believed for some months,
and believed now, that Judge Alton
B. Parker, of New York, will be the
nominee of the National Democratic
convention for the Presidential office.
This exposition Of my opinion is NOT
new. In reiterating 1t at this time,
when there seems to be lull In the
Parker movement, do not mean &c
yield my original Judgment, which
was that either Mr.. Olney or Judge
Gray might have proved the sironges,
candidate for the Democracy to name
for the contest with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Circumstances and the state OF
public sentiment were such, how.
ever, that months ago it became ap-
parent that Judge Par ker was the man
upon whom the conservative element
of the party could and should concen.
trate.
Judge Parker remains now, as he
has been for some months, the logical
candidate of his party"
If all this isn't sufficient to get Mr..
Bryan into the gold-bug band wagon
the re- organizers will probably drive
ON without him.
