The interview with Mr.. Blaine cabled to
the World from Florence emphasizing his
letter of withdrawal to Chairman Jones
has attracted almost as much attention as
the letter itself. The majority of repub
Leans seem now to be satisfied that Mr..
Blaine meant just what he said in his let
ter to Mr.. Jones, and that he is absolutely
ont of the field. The Albany journal
voices the prevailing opinion when it says
1.-THE interview with Mr.. Blaine in Flor
ence confirms the Judgment OF the finality
of his letter of declination. Mr.. Blaine
meant what he wrote in the broadcast and
completest sense of the words. Other
wise he would not have written at all.
! The republican party cannot nominate
him in justice either to Mr.. Blaine or to
itself. and the sooner ill republicans recog-
nze the fact and abandon the theory that
he is yet to be somehow forced into the
service the better for all concerned"

And yet for n,ught would I turn back

LIGHTNING TRAINS.
Brave Hearts and Cool Heads Needed Oh
the Fast Locomotives.

Brave Hearts and Cool Heads Needed on
the Fast Locomotives.
Tho starting out of SO many limited
trains to the West has caused quite a
shaking up among the locomotive en-
gincers of the Chicago roads. Not a
few ambitions have been stirred only
to be disappointed. for only one engi-
neer in hundred of those anxio us to
get run with the flyer could be ac-
commodated. Only half dozen men
on each road could gain the honor
which hundred craved. A run on
the limited is about the top notch of To-
connective engineering. Yet those who
were lucky enough to gain the prizes
find their tasks any thing but easy
ones. The fast runs out of Chicago
are not SO very fast, but they are ex-
ceedinglv difficult to make on schedule
time. This is because of the large
number of stops which it is necessary
to make, on account of railway cross
ings and other Instructions.
The schedule time Of the new trains
between Chicago and Council Bluffs is
rather less than thirty five miles an
hour. but in making the trip engineers
often find it necessary to steam ahead
at the rate of fifty to sixty miles. Be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river
a train must come to halt about thirty
times for railway crossings or other
causes that may be depended upon day
after day. In addition to these certain
stops are several contingent ones,
making an average of probably forty
full stops en- route. As each full stop
is equivalent to the loss of four or five
minutes at the least, little calcutta
ton shows us that the time spent in
stopping and starting amounts to
nearly three hours on the trip. This
brings the running time up to almost
forty miles an hour, and as along q
goodly portion of the line it is impossi-
BILE to make any such speed. on ac-
count of steep gradients and passing
through towns and cities at street
grade, the engineers find it necessary
to speed up to sixty miles an hour on
the most favorable stretches of the
road. The fast runs out of Chicago
are all night runs, and it is the night
run that tries the engineers courage.
Driving ahead. at mile minute. into
a sea of darkness which human eye can
not penetrate is work such as NO cow
ardly or even timid man could perform.
Among engine drivers there are
bold men and timid men. but only the
former were selected for these fast
runs. A timid man, prone to shut off
steam for every shadow seen on the
track or for every imaginary danger,
for engineers are called upon continu-
ally to beat back their own apprehen-
sions. could never make time on run
like one of these limited trains to the
West. Some of the best and bravest en-
gineers in the world are on these foot
plates. and in this climate and under
the disadvantages besetting them they
will find enough to try their metal
