The Hartford Times is taking a TO- seAte view of the coming Congres-
 sional elections. It notes that Repub- lican leaders are becoming alarmed lest they lose control of the National House of Representatives, and adds that they have good reason for their anxiety. They are likely to lose near ly . dozen members in Pennsylvania in consequence of the political break up there. In Illinois they will also lose several members. It will not be surprising If some of the New York Republican candidates are defeated. A loss of fifty-seven members in all will give the control of the House to the opposition. Should Republican ma 1ority be chosen, it may not he more than a dozen or twenty In all, which win be in striking contrast with the present majority of 1l4" It is fer vently to be hoped that The Times is correct in it's inferences. Certainly the times are ripe for a change.

DEFENDING RASCALITY.

Occasionally we see something in purblind Republican newspaper about the political redemption of Pennsyl- vania," or words to that effect. Even the President has seen proper to boast that the rotten political conditions heretofore prevailing in that State have been crushed out, and any one reading the statements would natural Iy infer that the State IS now model of clean politics. The Pittsburg Sun. which is on the spot, prerces that bub- ble as follows:
 It is an open secret outside of Penn sylvania that Republicans would De happy if Penrose and those under him everlastingly put out of business. From Roosevelt down, Republicans the country over have openly felt that this State machine was a load to the party
 Leading Republican papers outside the State. and in it. too. have been driven into revolt against the sordld tyranny which has degraded our poli- tics to office getting and franchise broking. The gang Is not only cor, rupt and greedy, but 1t puts forward for office only men of small caliber and easily swayed.
 And 1t adds this somewhat personal jab: H..
 Any man who belittles the Capitol graft. makes excuses for 1t, or at tempts to ignore 1t becomes a partner with those who have riotouSly Squan- dered State money, without the public knowledge, In bids that were cunning ly calculated to cover up what was being done.
 That last paragraph may almost he looked on as slap at Roosevelt, all though in the first extract quoted The Sun assumes that he feels the disgrace of the State. It is certain that he full ly endorsed the regular Republican ticket, of which Penrose and Penny packer were both the fathers and the nursing mothers, and 1t is of record that he most positively refused to fla vor the reform ticket, or to look with leniency on those who were engineer ing it. If he has in any public declara- tion given utterance to any feeling of disapproval of the gang and its ticket we have failed to notice 1t. However that may be, we know that some of the
 
 only try to make 1t appear that the regular ticket is good one, but en- deayor to excuse the Capitol building steal.
 That many of the most prominent and influential Republican and inde- pendent newspapers outside the State feel keenly the disgrace of the scan dals exposed by MT. Berry m connec- tion with the State House building is creditable to them. Some of them go so far as to openly desire the defeat of the gang as the only method of re buking the thorough rottenness of Re publican politics in the State. The truth Is that those who support the regular ticket are really endorsing the most disreputable political conditions that ever existed in any state.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1ooe.
Mention has been frequently made (

Mention has been frequently made of C6osa River as to make a continuous water way from Rome to Mobile. Con gressman Lee, of the Seventh Georgia District, has a measure before Con- gross looking to the opening of the Coosa, and referring to his measure The Rome Tribune says:
 There are probably good many people hefe who don't know or realize the size of the Coosa river, or the large ernment survey shows that at We tumpka, Ala, the volume of water in the Coosa Is greater than that of the ohio at Pittsburg, not far beyond that forms the Alabama, which flows on in to Mobile Bay. Under all the circum- stances we don't see how there could bee more important project to this Coosa rivsr to navigation. and we think heSmatter should be pushed as strongly as possible.
 Of late there has been quite a re- yival of interest in water transporta- tion. For a time it was thought and predicted that the railroads would kill the boating business entirely, but late ty there appears to be an inclination to get back to some extent to the riv- CTS. We do not know how much 1t would cost to open the Coosa, or how long it would take. but If it can be made navigable 1t will not only be a great thing for the country through which 1t flows, but would do much for Montgomery and a great deal for Mo- bile. We hope to see it in the not dis- tant future.

NEW ELECTRICAL DISCOVERIES

When the great American philoso- pher, Benjamin Franklin, sent his kite m into an electric cloud and captured
 the lightning he made the first move, little as he thought of 1t, towards what was destined to revolutionize many of the industries of the country. Neither he nor those who at once set themselves to extending his discoveries could have foreseen the result. If any one had then predicted that the time would come within less than two cen turies when the electric fluid would be lighting cities. driving heavy machin- ery and doing the numerous things which are now so common as to cease to be considered wonderful, he would have been looked on as A sr~amer of

impossible things, even If he had es- capped worse treatment.
 Demonstrating the nature of cleo power and capabilities mas slowly fol- lowed. One of the ambitions of pres- ent day scientists and mechanics has been to take electricity direct from the atmosphere or the water without hav- ing to develop it with costly maehin- cry. It was believed that the air is charged with the fluid but the problem has been to capture and use it. Now we are told that a young man in South Dakota, named Stranahan, has sue ceeded in proving that electricity may be collected from the air. and in a St. Paul contemporary we nnd this brief account of what he has done and Is do- ing:
 He has succeeded so far that all the buildings on his fathers ranch now are lighted py electricity. The same agency is used in running the farhi machinery, pumping water into the ir- rigation uitcnes, and the traction en- zine has been superseded by an elec- tric motor.
 Stranahan sent up a pa:r of tandem box kites, allowing them to rise sev- was strung an invention of Strana- hans for collecting anc storing the Hertzian waves. Each Kite carries a small wire cord attached at either eno to the collector anu storef or eiectrlc- ity.
 If these accounts are correct, and if in this somewhat crude method Mr. Stranahan has succeeded in extract ing from the atmospnere such stores of electricity as is claimed. 1t may be the beginning of another industrial revolution. That electricity is diff fused throughout the atmosphere is no new theory, of course, but to collect it by such simple methods as those en- ployed by Stranahan. and to put it to practical use as he seems to have done must be looked on as wonderful ad- vance in science and mechanics. Whether the quantity in the air can be exhausted, or whether it will be con- tinually renewed, are questions for the future. The fact before us, if these accounts are true, Is that young man collects from the air all the electricity required for light and power. and does 1t without the use Of machinery to manufacture 1t in the usual way. Taking the published accounts Of Stranahan's work to DC true. it would be difficult to estimate the importance of his work. What he has done can be done by others, and the time may soon come when the use of steam and water power to generate electric pow CT will no longer be needed Every man will be his own developer, and will get all the light, heat and power he needs without depending on any company or corporation to supply him. We doubt if 1t will be in the power of trust to control this new method of obtaining electric energy.

A point has been made by one side to the Jefferson County contest for Sheriff that men who had bets on the result participated in the recent meet ing of the Executive Committee. There is a plain. positive law against betting on elections, and it applies as well to primary as general elections. Why don't those who are aggrieved help kill out this gambling on elections by invoking the power of the law against those who engage in 1t?

WHEN Tilt KIDNEYS
 ARE AlLING. ...-
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora- tive Measures is Something That Every One Should
 Understand.
"A Stitch in Time Saves Nine."

Slight disorders ill the kidneys or uri- nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning symp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous r,aiady. When the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy needed. Taken on the ap- pearance of the first symptoms, such as pain in the back, puffiness under the eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim meal. culable misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin. ming of the trouble it cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages it will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.

A Fool C-i.ic Well Answered.

Fort Payne Journal
 St. Johns Cathedral, New York, will cost $10.000,000 when completed. And tens of thousands of people who live there never have enough to eat and their children go hungry to school Of course that is the way Christ would have done it. He would starve chil- dren and put millions into vain. showy buildings.-Apeal to Reason.
 Not infrequently this sort of mis- taken criticism appears in various ways. It is based on the erroneous idea that when a costly building is erected as much money as it represents is withdrawn from use-buried it were. in the building. Never was a greater mistake. Every dollar spent in the erection of such building is paid out for labor and materials. The money goes to the men who quarry and dress the stone and lay it in place; to others who furnish the material and otherwise aid in the construction and ornamentation of the edifice. Much as we may deprecate the vanity of the man who spends his money for show either in fine buildings or other ways we must admit. if we are at all in clined to be fair. that he is of more value to the community than the man who hoards his money or puts 1t out at interest. He spends his money so that working people get the benefit of it's distribution, d much better plan than to put it where nobody can get any benefit from 1t. *

Mr.. BRYAN
Representatives Of the
Western Democracy
Going Abroad.
VIII Lay Plans for the
Proposed Reception
Before Him.
Wishes Of the Nebraskan
to Be Followed by
Admirers.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK. July with plans al
ready under way for a big welcome to
William Jennings Bryan at his home in
Lincoln. Neb.. on his return from his
'round-the-world" journey, Colonel al.
c. Wetmore and Morton Jourdan, lead
ing Democrats of st. Louis, will sail
Wednesday for Europe to lay their
plans before Mr.. Bryan and to confer
with him regarding the reception
planned by the Commercial Travellers
Antitrust League to be given in New
York,
1t is the purpose of Colonel Wetmore
and Jourdan, who represent the Democ-
racy of the West and Middle West, to
enlighten Mr.. Bryan concerning present
political conditions in the country, and
to talk with him also of the plans for
demonstrations to mark his home
coming. Pending woFd from the sub
sequent meeting with Mr.. Bryan 1t is
not likely. 1t was said tonight, that any
plans will be furthered.
Plans for the Lincoln reception are
going on entirely Independent of the
welcome planned by the Commercial
Travellers Antitrust League. Colonel
Wetmore declared tonight that he knew
very little about the New York plans.
and that there was no disposition on
the part of any of MFR. Bryan's friends
to sidetrack them so far as he knew.
1t would, he added, all rest with Mr..
Bryan.
