ANOTHER RAILROAD.

A telegram in this issue of The HERALD
quotes Denver paper as saying the presi-
dent of the Colorado, Utah & Pacific rail
way has arranged with the Manhattan
Trust company for financial aid in building
a new road from Denver to this city. 1t is
claimed that the length of the road will be
2S6 miles shorter than the line from Denver
via the Denver & Rio Grande and the Rio
Grande Western. 1t is further asserted
that the company has 10000 900 back of it.
We do not take much stock in announce
ments like this. There have been scores
of them within the past five years. In
fact, it is weekly occurrence for the
newspapers to mention schemes and pro-
iects for shortening the rail distance be-
tween the cities named but none
of these projects has materialized
to the extent of laying foot
of iron or moving barrow of dirt
However, there is reason to believe there
is something more than the boasting of an
impecunious Spectator in the c., u, s. P,
scheme noted. In addition to the one third
less mileage than either of the other roads
has the proposed line would traverse a
richer and better country than they, much
of the road running through habitable
region. The preliminary survey carries
he line through well timbered country
both in Colorado and Utah, and crosses the
Uintah Indian reservation, whose thou
sands of acres Of splendid agricultural
land aud valuable mineral lodges. must,
from the very nature of things, soon be
made available to white occupancy and de-
velopment.
In this connection, it may be asked, what
is the matter with the Utah Central form
ing the western end of the Colorado, Utah
& Pacific. The Central is pointed nd
moving in the right direction.

TWO CANDIDATES.

ROBERT E. PATTIsoN, the Democratic can
didate for governor of Pennsylvania, and
GEORGE w. DELAMATER, the Republican
candidate for the Office named, are decided
ly unlike each other. Ever since the latter
was nominated early last summer he has
been assailed in the press and on the stump
as few candidates have ever been assailed
Many of the more influential newspapers
openly assert that he is thief and bride
the general charge. but make specific ale
cations and tell when and where he was
guilty of official corruption. Not only are
the newspapers doing these things, but pri-
vate citizens, Republicans as we'll as Dem
ocrats, publish letters over their own sig
natures affirming the truth of the charges
and inviting Mr.. DELAMATER to proceed
against them for libel in order that they
may be given the opportunity to prove the
allegations in court. For weeks the gen
tleman pursued the policy of his more cor
rupt master, Senator QUAY, and maintained
a stubborn silence, neither admitting nor
denying the truth of anything that
was said. A few days ago, on
the stump, he found courage. or
impudence to deny that he was thief and
that he had been guilty of wrong doing.
He has not, however, taken any steps look
ing to refutation of the awful and specific
charges against him as man and public
official, nor has he done anything to punish
his assailarts.
