Railway Construction in the South-
 west.

The Engineering News in its issue of this week will say that the statistics of railway construction show that, notwith- standing the adverse influences which have been at work during the year, there is a gratifyingly large amount of new work un- der way in the southwest. According to the figures there have been 216 miles of track laid in the states of Missouri, Kan sas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and In- dian Territory, and there are now under construction 1 OH miles, in process of sur vey {, 2,63S miles, and projected, with some prospects of construction, 4,207 miles.

An Hourly Record Of His Life.

Ever since he went into business as a
boy, John I. Blair, the New Jersey mil
lionaire railroad magnate, has made it a
practice to jot down in note book car
ried for the purpose brief resume of
what he has been doing every hour of
the day. His notes are concise, but by
their aid he can tell to a minute what he
was doing at almost any period of his
life. A few years ago, when Mr.. Blair
was defending several suits brought
against him in Kansas City, the lawyers
endeavored to weary him by asking
irrelevant questions. ''Mr. Blair said
a lawyer one day, what were you doing

jority.
In Massachusetts, Russell Dem }, it is
estimated, has received 1860 and
Allen (Rep) $4,000 votes, leaving the
Governor plurality of about 5000.
The vote of Boston is SO, SIP for Russell
and %, 987 for Allen, which gives the
Democrats plurality in the city of
1885. The towns outside of the cities
last year gave Bracket (Rep.) 59,313
and Russell Dem 52,8s9 Returns
from 2S2 towns this year give Russell
40, 871 and Allen 59,384. Gov. Russell
gained 13 per cent. in these towns,
which, applied to the rest of the
towns, would make his total in
oil towns SO, 1s9. Add to these
swells Russell's vote to I'll and Aliens
to 81, 79O The cities outside of Boston
gave Russell a year ago SIS, IA and
Bracket 2,515. Russell carried them
then by about $500 plurality. The in
creased vote this year in These same
cities indicates tn t Russell will have
over 60, 900 votes and Allen $4,000, thus
making the total vote in the state about
156, 900 for Russell and Isl, 900 for Allen.
The entire Republican State ticket,
with the exception of Governor, is
elected by ample pluralities Returns
for members of the Legislature thus far
indicate that seventeen Republican SEN
ators are elected. Complete returns for
127 members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, little more than one-half,
show that eighty-two Republicans have
been elected and forty-ive Democrats
The Executive Council will probably
stand seven Republicans to one Demo
crat.

And that pleasures early vintage has leaked
from my cup of coy;
But my losses and my crosses
Are to me no more than dcoss is
When ] rolic when 1 frolic with my little
baby boy.
It may be that I'm a sinner
With my chances growing thinner,
That the gold within my nature suffers much
from base alloy;
But know that Pm mellow;
Supplemented, tender fellow
When 1 romp and play and frolic with my
bright-eyed baby boy.
1t may be that grow weary
Sometimes of the world 50 dreary,
And that moody meditation NAV too oft my
mind employ;
But his merry eyes bcguiling
Change my humor into smiling
AS practice many an antic with my laugh
ing baby boy.
When the little fell 7w's dreaming,
And the golden scades streaming
From his head upon my bosom, and he
sleeps without annoy,
Then ! kiss the lips of laughter,
Thinking that the great hereafter
Will be cherries if / cannot frolic with my
baby boy.

through ignorance Of its proper WORKING
on the part of both the voters and the
election judges a number of votes were
lost. This state Of affairs was brought
about by the mistakes of the voters In
marking their tickets and the inability
of judges to handle the crowds in pre-
cincts where the registration was heavy.
OF course this hardship came alone to
those who had put off the task Of voting
until the last moment allowed under
the law, and then there was not enough
time to hand them properly. Other
features of the law commended 1t to the
good opinion of citizens for in its excer-
else the m ission of the ward hummer is
forever ended and the political heller is
without an occupation. AdviceS from
the rural districts are to the effect that
quite a number of votes were lost
through the ignorance of the voters, al
though schools had been established in
all the townships for the education of
the masses. Very few voters used the
five minutes allotted and many required
only minute, and some less than min
ute. A noticeable effect of the new law
was the large amount of straight tick
cts polled, voters evidently fearing to
place more than one mark on their
DalIOL through lear OIL destroying tHelr
vote. The only criticism heard against
the new election law is the large addi-
tional expense for erecting booths at
each precinct in order that the voter may
deposit secret ballot But complaint
was general that the booths were poorly
lighted, making scratching" a difficult
operation It is said that both candi
dates, Mckinley and Campbell, avoided
all difficulty in this line by voting their
tickets straight.
In Chicago victors and vanquished
are agreed on one thing, and that is
that the new election law worked
charmingly. Now that the law has
been tried and found satisfactory, both
Republicans and Democrats are wonder
ing how an election was ever conducted
without it. The only citizens who spoke
disparagingly of it were the professional
ticket peddlers. AS the new law abol-
ishes the occupation of the ticket ped
der, it is not to be wondered at that he
views it with disfavor. Of course there
will be still men at the polls, or
rather within 100 feet of them,
who will consider it their duty
to offer suggestions to the voteEG
