should not protect the very foundation
Of its existance, is irrational and absurd.
Aud still farther Republican policy
means, as we believe, that the revenue
strength of the nation should be saved,
not wasted; that its tax-paying ability
should be wisely utilized, not foolishly
misapplied ;and that when the Union Of
the states has it in its power to aid the
states separately, this benifcent result
should not fail because of feeble and
timid council, or stale and inappicsble
political notions.
That the Republican doctrine and
policy should be applied with statesman
like breadth and courage to our relation
with the nations that adjoin US ON the
continent is not less certain, even if it be
as yet less manifest. The system which
shall establish the most friendly and in
innate commercial relations, which shall
promote the common interests by COM
mon method of protection, is one which
is at once harmonious with the general
work of the Republican party and pro-
portiOned to its energy and courage.
Tha plan by which we reach our neigh.
boring countries through sO-called treat
les of reciprocity is q narrow one, beset
with dangers and complications; but the
plan of an zCllvereiH, extending our tree
markets, enlargmg our command of new
materials, terrifying our protective sys-
tenn is broad and simple.
ToOne more subject the Republican
party necessarily address itself-that of
administrative reform. To pursue this
it is bound by general duty and special
promise. 1t is committed against the
abuses of the''spOils system" and i'll fa-

can be no such reform maintained with

A RUNAWAY TRAIN.
A Wild Trip Ofi0o Niles n Two Hours and
Half Without an Engine.

LINcoLN, Neb. !. April 3-Ths State
Journal publishes the following: An in-
crdent which we believe has never had
parallel in railroad history occurred on
last Thursday on the B. & NJ. railroad
between this city and Denver. Were it
not that this story comes from the most
reliable source, we would unhesitatingly
pronounce it canard. But we have it
from a source which is guarantee of
its correctness. At any rate it is a mat
ter of record and can easily be verified.
If true, and disprOven if false.
It will be remembered that on Thurs
day there was wind which amounted
almost to tornado here, and was worse
west Of US. At Akron it unroofed the
round house and did some other damage.
ABOUT O'Clock in the evening, when
the wind was at the strongest, it started
train of eight box cars, loaded with
coal, that were standing on a side track
at that place. Two brakes were set,
but they were not enough to hold it, and
it ran through the split switch without
being derailed and started east.
The track was nearly level where the
train started, but there are down grades
this side of Akron. The wind was so
strong that it took the train more rapid
ly than the passenger trains over the
lines move, even on the level track, and
when it reached a down grade of course
the speed became something fearful,
The operator at Akron noticed the
runaway train soon after it broke loose
andsent the alarm down the line. Every
thing was ordered side-tracked, and the
crazy train had the right of way. The
Cannon ball train, going toward Akron,
was only two stations away. when the
message to side-track came, and it had
only been on the side track short time
variously estimated at from two to five
minutes, when the engineless train came
laundering by
Marvellous as it may seem those run
away cars ran one hundred miles, pass
ing eight stations over track which is
for great part of the distance almost
perfectly level, with no propelliug pow
er but the wind and their own inertia.
They ran the one hundred miles in less
than three hours, and station agents and
others who witnessed the strange train,
held their breath with awe, as it whirled
by at the rate of nearly mile minute.
1t passed Halger at the rate of forty
miles an hour, and is said to have run
the twenty miles of down grade this
side of Akron in Is minutes.
At Benkleman, ninety-fve miles this
side Of Akron, freight was standing on
the side track. AS the runaway train
passed, the engineer ran his engine out
with brakeman on the tender to make
the coupling, and gave chase. 1t was
an exciting chase, but the engine, which
brought to the aid of the wind the pow
or In the steam chests, soon closed the
gap between itself and the flying train.
Abnut half way between Benkleman
and Max, the fugitive was overtaken,
the coupling succe 5sfullY made, and the
cars, after pulling the engine some dis
lance, brought to a standstill.
1t was certainly remarkable runa-
way, and we do not believe the annals
Of any railroad will show parallel to it

REPUBLICAN, AIMS.
The Policy Of the Dominant Party on Great Pub
lie Questions

1t is evident that the Republican par
ty is still the only one capable of yig-
Orous and satisfactory initiative. To it
the country must look for successful
handling of the pubic questions that
appear upon the bosom of the lime. A
secondary part still contents the Demo
cratic leaders; they are ready, as here
totore, to oppose. but not to undertake !;
their policy continues evasive, their pur-
poses in6rm.
The Republican party's principle Of
national unity carries it to that of ma
tionsl independence. 1t is for a tariff
that shall be distinctly protective. 1t
tOlerates no evasion on this question. It
means that American interests shall be
developed; that American workman
shall be introduced to every variety and
form of remunerative industry; that
what can be produced at home shall be :;
that our own hands shall make every
sort and description of article which our
civilization calls for; that our independ-
SncO snail De complete and real, not inn
perfect and deceptive. We owe to our
own people, first the advantages of the
protective system; We shall have bounty
for the world after our duty at home has
been fully discharged, and not till
then.
After the tariff, it may be fairly said
that the treatment of questions of ad-
ministrative finance comes next. Here
IS in the other case, Republican policy
Is natiOnal, Il means, first, the payment
OF the debt and the maintenance of =
revenue system which will insure the
continuance Of payment. 1t means the
promotion of education by policy of
aid which shall be liberal and eficacious.
1t means that free government. Deepen

The Cathedral City, as this State
Capital is named, has very little of con-
spicuous interest unassociated with
yonder great piece of architecture,
which, SO thickly shrouded in snow to-
day, has no equal in architectural view
on the Western Hemisphere. 1t has its
history. That history is associated
with the Santa Eulalia mine, which, up
to 1929, or the date of the expulsion of
the Spaniards from Mexico, has yielded
$265, 10000 The great cathedral was
constructed by n tax forced on the
mine of one real, or twelve and one
half cents, out of each marc, or every
SO, by order of the Royal Government
of Spain. The edificc cost 81. 600, 000
Doubtless another $250,O00 was con-
tributed by the people in labor and ma
terial. 1t would require $4,000, 900 to
erect it in our time. The cornerstone
was laid in 1925.
Alphabetically, the grand cathedral
stands peerless, as far as magnificently
symmetrical proportions are to be re-
garded in America. The great cathe-
dral of the City of Mexico covers more
ground. Still, in design, attractions of
