Railway Men in Politics.

DIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew, whom many
believe to be squirting in the direction
of the presidential nomination in 1899,
makes his appearance as an author in
The North American Review and gives
information about the railroad man in
politics. He says among other things
that there are in round numbers mill
ion men and voters directly employed
by the railway companies of the United
States. These constitute one-thirteenth
of the voting population of the Union.
Mr.. Depew quite innocently mentions
that rs, 900 of them vote in the state of
New York, and that 10000 are attached
to the Vanderbilt roads alone. 1t was
only 1,047 votes in New York, it will be
remembered, that decided the presi-
Dental election against Blaine and in
favor of Cleveland.
Mr.. Depew says that now in no state
does n railway rs corporation take part
in politics. All that went out with the
entrance of Commodore Vanderbilt into
the railway business. AS to the feeling
against railroad men engaging in poll
tics, there never was any of it in New
England, we are told. In New York
the railroad man as factor in politics
is regarded just like any other private
citizen. In the west hostility to rail
way companies was cultivated by polit-
ical leaders of both parties. In conse-
quence political managers have been
afraid to place any man identified with
these on their ticket. This made the
rank and file of the employees, the million
voters mentioned, mad, says Mr.. Depew,
and if they were to be debarred from
political honors on account of their oc-
cupation they wanted to know the rea-
son why. They then took an active hand
in politics in very quiet way them
selves, and the consequence was some
results that astonished everybody and
for which no one could account in state
elections in the past two years. Politi-
clans learned that railroad mans vote
was as good as that of anybody else.
At the close our great American ora
tor says he does not believe there are
two states in the Union where railway
man running for Office would be cut by
any considerable portion of his party on
account of his business. Finally, can a
railway man afford to run for Office:
He cannot in Mr.. Depew's estimation,
unless he is ready to retire from rail
roading His duty to his employers
would not admit of it.
Is DR.. Depew ready to retire?

During the fiscal year ending June 30
the national debt was diminished more
than was expected, considering the
heavy national demands during this
period. The diminishment was $S7, ,000,-
600. For the corresponding year previ-
Gus the decrease was $114,000,00O. Thus
the rate is still over hundred million
for each of the two years.

Cholera did not appear in America a

The Esquimau is disappearing from
Greenland, the genuine pure blood, tai
low-candle-eating Esquimau, that is. II
is because the aborigine blood has been
SO diluted by marriage and mixture
with Scandinwians-mostly Danes and
Norwegians-that the Mongolian type
threatens to be lost. Ethnologists say
the stronger race is overshadowing the
weaker and wiping it out, and In a
century more it will be lost. If the
blood OF the white and negro races were
to be mingled for few centuries would
the black type disappear?

Fasting for Health.

A well known woman physician says
she keeps herself in perfect health by oc-
casional days of entire fasting. Her
stomach rests meanwhile and the system
uses up the clogging material on hand in
the body, and is ready to start over new
when the mistress of the machine begins
to add fuel once more. A writer in The
English Illustrated Magazine is positive
that mankind eat more than is good for
them. For gout, rheumatism and kin
dred chronic ailments celebrated Lon
don physician prescribed less eating and
drinking and charged l,is patient twenty
guineas. The writer remarks further:
venture to believe that all society would gair
by diminishing the consumption Of meat. Queer
Elizabeth ordered fish diet on Wednesdays and
Fridays, not for any ecclesiastical reason, but
Costensibly at any rate) to encourage the fish
trade and to diminish the demand for flesh. That
interference with the market was not wise; but
think that the adherents of the Vegetarian society
will do good if they persuade multitudes to learn
the value of whole meal bread, and oatmeal, and
vegetables, and fruit and not rely SO exclusively
on beef and mutton. The poor especially might
find in porridge and lentil soup and well cooked
vegetables far cheaper; more wholesome ano
more sustaining diet than the often unsa tisfac
tory coarse and even unwholesome scraps which
they buy from the butchers at a far greater cost

There is no red tape at all about the
method for appointing the Worlds fair
national committee under thelaw. First
the governor of each state and territory
appoints two commissioners, one from
each of the leading political parties.
Next the names of the appointees are
sent to the senate. The senate takes a
tug at them and confirms them. They
are not yet out of their misery, however.
They must next appear before the presi-
dent. 81, Benjamin Harrison, president
of the United States" gives them COM
mission with seals and things. Then
finally they are ready to go into<the pre-
liminary proceedings for the Columbus
exposition. One of the first appoint
ments made was that of Col. Charlton
H Way, named by Governor Gordon,
of Georgia. Col. Way is experienced in
Worlds fair business, having been com
missioner of two Of them already, both
at Paris, one in 1867, the other in 1878.
