THE nomination of ex-Comptroller An
derson to be supervisor of the State
Prison still hangs fire, Senator Skirm re-
fusipg to vote for his confirmation. The
members of the House of Assembly have
petitioned the Senate to have the name
withdrawn, and threaten many things II
that action is not taken. Major Anderson
will probably be confirmed but that result
will undoubtedly cause feeling that
should not be aroused. 1t is a repetition
of political history where man who has
had a taste of political office thirsts foi
more and his friends insist upon satisfy
ing him regardless of the effect upon the
party. Major Anderson is 63 years of age,
not less than % of which have been spent
in Office, the emoluments of which have
amounted to small fortune. This would
seem to indicate that somebody else
should be given chance. While in the
Comptroller's chair. Major Anderson
showed himself to be a capable officer,
and. with his executive ability, he ought
not to have any trouble in securing posi-
ton whereby he might make living.
There is no reason in the world why one
man should be given all the plums, when
there are other Republicans just as de-
serving as he 49, And there are some who
think that if Major Anderson is the true
Republican he claims to be he would. to
quell the tumult already raised, request
his friend Werts to withdraw his name.
That his confirmation is to inure to the
advantage of the Democracy cannot be
doubted when we consider the fact that
the Democratic Senators are anxious to
vote for it, and will do SO with unanim-
ity that must have strong incentive be-
hind it.

AGAIN is the idea of bridge between
Philadelphia and Camden being agitated,
and this time it looks as though it might
reach a practical end. The title selected
is the pennsylvania and New Jersey
Bridge Company" and the gentlemen
who ask for charter are well adapted for
the business. Their purpose is to build
bridge from some point in the upper part
of Philadelphia to the New Jersey side.
This is a much more practical scheme
than the favorite idea of bridge at Mar
ket street. 1t would give quick means
of transit in through cars from the rail
way depots in Philadelphia to all sea
shore points in New Jersey. and as the
bridge is to be for the common use OF all
railroads (although this is not clearly re-
ouired by the bilD, both the Pennsylva-
MIA and Reading could use it. On the
New Jersey side the bridge would termi-
nate at a point about five miles above
Camden. AS the location of the bridge
will be above the city, it is to be made
only high enough for steamboats, and
smaller vessels to go under, but will have
a draw span.

A Rem RailrOad.

Taken altogether the Russian Transcas-
plan railway is one of the engineering
wonders "of this the ironbound century" /"
At first it was considered impossible to
maintain road through the shifting
sands of the Kara Kun desert, but Gen
eral Annenkoff, who was superintendent
of construction, overcame what was sup
posed to be an insurmountable obstacle
by covering his railroad with clay and
planting the sides with thickets of desert
plants and shrubs. But when this had
been done and the road bed assured, cry
went up to the effect that the scheme
would have to be abandoned because there
was neither fuel nor water along the line.
The doughty general solved the water
problem by bringing water in pipes from
the mountains, and his cousin constructed
n locomotive which used petroleum for
fuel. But yet there was another great OBJ
stacle in the way-the classic Oxus, which
would have to be crossed with bridge
1000 feet longer than the Brooklyn wonder
This difficulty was finally overcome, and
the road is now in active operation.-St.
Louis Republic.

system In Saving.

"The only good plan is to make it an in
variable rule to deposit something each
week or each month";" says bank presi-
dent. Having thus put the money aside,
it should be considered out of reach, and on
no account to be drawn upon except in
case of sickness, loss of employment or
death. 1t is surprising how money will
pile up when such system as this is fol-
lowed. If every one who possesses any
income at all would adopt the practice
and stick to it, no matter how small the
deposits might be, poverty would be we'll
nigh abolished.
''There is no saving done in this city of the
sort that is common among the thrifty peo-
pie of New England, who put their money
into the bank and let it remain, adding to
it steadily year by year. Here the people
accumulate moderate sums and draw them
out In the early part of each year they
save for taxes or vacations; in the autumn
they save for winter clothes and fuel, and
later on for celebrating Thanksgiving and
Christmas Washington Star.

S. +. Holcom, one of the discoverers of
the grove of giant sequoias in Fresno
county, in what John Muir has denom
mated the New Yosemite, says no words
can describe their grandeur nor the i'm
pressions created on the visitor when be-
holding them for the first time. ''They
are trees that astonish and amaze" said
he, "and the effect is lasting. 1t lasts for
all time. At least, do not think | shall
ever get rid Of the effect which they had
on me, nor do l wish to. If to Bryant
such groves as he saw were temples, what
must these be considereds / leave all this
to the poets, but there are some points that
doubt not will be of interest to the lum-
bermen.
"There is tree there with the astunish-
ing circumference of 1917 feet, and diam
eter in the narrowest place of AZ feet, while
the trunk reaches almost 400 feet in the
air. Then there are trees there % feet
through and babies of 10 feet and so on.
To see them is an object lesson which car
ries with it astonishment forever. To
stand in their shadow is something worth
doing at any cost. Could the lumbermen
of the pineries behold them, never again
could they view the ordinary tree, but
they would be impressed with the fact
that they were but mere saplings, cuttings
set in the ground, and only these. San
Francisco Examiner.
