A strange complaint comes from the
Democratic press. 1t is discovered
that since the Democrats have won a
victory there r Republicans who are
glad that it is a big one, carrying with
it everything in sight. There is fur
ther murmuring because these Repub-
licans are Sticking on" the Democrats
to carry ont their platform pledges, on
which they carried the country.
The Louisville Couriz-Journai remarks
that this sis another and unwel-
como evidence that the Republican
party as now organized exists only for
the good of itself instead Of the coun-
try" When did Democrats yer say
anything else ol..tho Republican party?
The Democratic party has subscribed to
Republican policies after they were
fixed beyond dispute in the practice OF
the government, but as live questions
of the day the Democratic record with
regard to them is one Of unbroken OPP
position. But never mind this. The
country understands it.
Is itignoble and utterly selfish to re-
joice with our friends the enemy?
They mako merry over their victory.
Republicans shout because it is a big
one Isn't this kind and neighborlyP
And is it mean, selfish, u%ngenerousr
unpatriotic and altogether vile to point
to the Democratic platform pledges and
say that ii the Democratic party be
honest those pledges will be faithfully
observed when that party goes into
power?
If it is not we'll for the country that
these pledges be carried out, whose
fault is thatP Isn't it so much the
worse for the party which makes
pledges that cannot bokept without in
jury to the country Democratic SEN
s~itiveness on this subject is sudden and
peculiar.

The worlds record for fast time by a
railroad locomotive has again been
broken, says the Philadelphia Times, and
by the same engine which established
the thirty-nine and one-quarter seconds
record in February last-No. 3S5, of the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad COM

thirtY-seven seconds.
The locomotive is known as the Nau-
CLAIM compound, and was built at the
Baldwin locomotive works in this city.

and it is equipped with s~eventy-eight.

made the then remarkable run OF a milo
in thirty-nine and a quarter seconds
last February, had hold OF the throttle
last Friday. In the cab with him were
a representative OF the Baldwin4ocomo-
tive works and two invited guests.
The engine was attached to the regu-
lar express train which leaves Ninth
and Green streets at 5:l5 p. m, and had
three heavily loaded coaches behind il
No time was taken until near
Neshaminy, when Engineer Hicks
opened the throttle a few notches and
away sped the iron monster. Faster
and faster the pistons shot into and out

as q mile post was reached a click told
that,the timeaof the speeding locomo-

credible space OF time the next mile
post is reached, and a smile OF pleasure
crossed tho features OF the timetaker as
he glanced at the watch. The old rec
ord Of 39f seconds had been broken by
a quarter Of a second.
The most remarkable part OF the per.
formance, however, did not occur until
the long, level, straight piece OF track
between Plainfield and Elizabeth had
been reached. The engineer had opened
his throttle to the last notch, and was
glaring out ahead with a nervous ex-
element that indicated his great inter

TynboId in tho Water.

More than a thousand cases of ty-
phoid in two months might well attract
attention in St. Louis. The press dis
covers that the water basins are alive
with typhoid germs and urges the peo-
pie to boil all the water they drink.
Communities drawing their water
supply from great public sewers should
be glad that there is IN easy way to rob
the water of some of its poison. Boil
ing water for drinking purposes, thanks
to tho constant hammering by the IN
rELLIoEScER and the JOhnstown cpl
sode, is much moro common in Wheel
ing than it used to be.
There is no telling how many persons
hereabouts owe their lives to this sim
pie precaution. Its cheaper and better
than the best doctor.

that talented man to say that Mr.. Hal
stead did not believe what he was writ

brother must have been hit and hit

should understand by this time that
newspapers arc not published first OF
all as tips on the races"
The function OF news purveyor comes
first; after that the gentle office OF COM
menting on events. The betting man
makes his own wagers, it is to be hoped
with his own money. Ii he wins he
pockets the spoil and is happy without
any thanks to his iavorite newspaper.
II he loses he feels that his newspaper
has wronged him.
There is V au election that does
not bring to the ISrELIIGENcRR requests
for confidential advice how to bet.
These requests always go unanswered
and always make the newspaper weary.
The INr~ELLIGENcER does not mind ad-
hitting in this connection that if it had
been in the betting business it would

Mr.. Cleveland's curt notice to the of
ice-hunters of his party that he will
take up their little matters when he
gets ready, and that meanwhile he con
siders it an impertinence to lombard
him with appeals, has not been re.
ceived in the best nature by the patri-
OTIS who are willing to help him with
his administration. Some Of them are
not slow to say that if he had talked
this way before election he might have
whistled for the help they gave him.
Mr.. Cleveland is right. The rush that
was being made on him was unsecmly.
He will give the boys all the places he
can and as soon as no can. There will
be no civil service reform pretension
about it this time. But the boys must
wait, audit will do them no good to be
impatient and say things.
