Another special bond election
notice is being run in one of the
papers of the city, the admins
tration evidently not desiring to
it too wide publicity. With
the experience the city attorney
has had in special bond election
notices, he is enabled to advise
ample time in this case, twenty
four days actual notice being
given. The election occurs on
Thursday, the sth day of March.
This notice costs the city
nothing.

The only regretable thing
about the farmers institute held
in this city last week was that
the attendance was not five times
what it was. The corps of insti-
tute workers are paid by the
legislature, under the impression
that there is a very general de-
sire on the part of the farmers to
have the benefits that naturally
accrue to them from such gather
And yet but a small per-
centage of farmers within easy
reach of the city we're in attend
ance. The farmers pay for the
institute, but when it comes to
them too many neglect to avail
themselves of it's profitable dis
;ussions.

The machine organs seem to

The machine organs seem to
think that the democrats of the
state base their objection to the
honest" caucus law on the fact
that they can not vote in republi-
can caucuses. They certainly
fatter themselves some in sup
posing that political association
with them has any attractions
for self-respecting democrats.
The very essence of democracy
is the widest possible expression
of the will of the people; while
the ideal machine caucus is a
contrivance to protect the gang
against any encroachments upon
their prerogatives by the rank
and file of their own party. If it
should ever happen that a demo-
crat should lose his mental bal
ance and desire to affiliate with
the republican>party, the provi-
sion that compels him to serve a
two years. term of probation be-
fore he can mingle with the elect
in a caucus, meets the unquali-
fed approval of all good demo-
Gratis. What all democrats and
other good citizens do complain
of is that, when 5000 voters of
this state irrespective of party,
petitioned for the constitutional
right to vote on the adoption of a
primary law, they were denied
this right most wantonly, and
the gang, assuming to know bet
ter what they wa nted, crammed
this thing called an honest
caucus law down their necks.

TELEPHONES Nv ErROPE

According to a consular report received in
Washington, the people of Italy are beginning
TO discover that, while their telephone service
is cheap, 1t is inferior to that of some other
countries. In nearly all italian cities the tele-
phones are owned and operated by private cor
pOratiOns, but the national government has re-
Gently begun to assume the control. Venice
seems TO be the only city where II has act
ualy done so, but there are ample indications
that the precedent will be extensively followed
The service is particularly poor in Rome, il is
asserted, and a reform at the seat OF govern
ment now seems 10 be fully assured One of
the suggestive signs of the times Is the for
NAL invitation Of the Ministry OF Posts and
Telegraphs for bids for newly equipping the
Venice exchange. Even more important is the
appointment OF a commission to study the whole
question and outline for the country the pOssi-
bilities of Improvement.
The local manager In Venice is hopeful that
the government will give him a switchboard
like that which is now in general use in large
If not in all, American cities. The central bat
terry" system, 10 which he refers, enables a
subscriber to open communication merely by
lifting his telephone from the hook. Formerly
1t was necessary TO turn a crank first The
modern provision for calling central" lights q
tiny electric lamp over the subscribers num-
ber. There is now no ringing Of bells or sound
ing of 'buzzers" The operators attention is
attracted by visual. and not by audible means.
The first effect Of the change is 20 save time
at both ends OF the line. A second advantage
is that privacy OF conversation, though not Rb-
solutely assured. is at least promoted. Inas-
much as the operators eye enables her TO de-
termine instantly when two subscribers have
stopped talking, she is not obliged. as was once
the case, to listen for that purpose

"WTND JAMlfERS."

The arrival of the sailing vessel Drumeltan
at this port after a highly successful voyage
has been much commented upon. She had
sailed, we are told 1000 miles in "a days. and,
back again, 1000 miles in AZ days. a total OF
14,O00 miles in 1O1 days. For the whole round
trip that was at the rate OF 1886 miles a day,
or So miles an hour, while on the home run
the speed made averaged more than 6 miles
an hour. That is not rapid travelling but it
equals the pace of some steamers. The achieve
ments of a few ocean greyhOunds" must not
make us fOrgetful Of the fact that the vast
majority of OceangOing steamers are slower
than u miles an hour. For example, one of
the greatest companies in the world has 149
vessels. OF which just one is rated at more
than 20 knots Tor sea niles and no fewer than
103 at under 12 knots. Another, with "a YES
sells, has 50 under II knots A third, with 9S.
has 65 under II knots Bremen company
has 80 ships, not one Of them as fast as y
knots. One atsCOpenhagen has III. of which
106 are under II knots. An English line has
Al ships, and German line 81 and another
English line 80, all below 12 knots an hour. A
list of the chief lines of the world shows
total of 2, 2,159 ships, of which 1,1S4 are rated
at less than II knots.
While, then, it is possible for sailing ships
to make rate of speed which is not too greatly
inferior to that of the majority OF steamships,
IAe "iilu J"Aiiil04S' q" 'NOS <te eOl'O4"laAAS
called, have some very great advantages over
steamers which in many cases cOunterbalance
their deficiency in speed. They contain prac-
tically no machinery and carry practically no
fuel. Thus they cost less for construction and
gain much in storage capacity The great space
which in a steamer is occupied by engines and
bunkers may in a sailing ship be devoted to
cargo. 1t is most impressive to go through an
empty sailing ship and note the enormous ex-
tent of her hold. She is hollow from keel to
deck and from stem to stern. There is also a
saving in wear and tear, while as for safety,
il is probable that a we'll managed sailing ship
is at least as secure in storms as a slOwgOing,
numbering steamer. These considerations ac-
count for the fact that in this ''age of steam
more than One-third OF the Oceangoing vessels
Of the world and more than One-sixth Of the
oceangoing tonnage are under sail instead of
| steam
