Policy of Peace.

1t does not pay to quarrel, ana the
com batants generally pay the penalty
Of their folly. An amusing incident
occurred at some professional pedes-
trian sports which were held near
London short time ago. One of
the events on the program was one
mile walking race or which there
we're only three competitors. On the
pistol being fired it could easily be
seen that one of the walkers was
completely outclaSsed. and by the
time the two leaders had traversed
three-quarters of the distance the
rear most man was quite hundred
yards behind. At this point the
front men were racing neck to neck;
in his excitement one of them jOstle
against the other, and put him out
OF his stride; he in turn pushed the
other, and then a fight ensued be-
tween them on the track Mean
while, the rearmoSr man was making
up lost ground rapidly. and soon
passed the other two, who were still
punching each other vigorously. See
ing the position of affairs the fight
ers postponed their quarrel till a
more convenient occasion, and started
rapidly in pursuit of the leader, who
was now about twenty yards ahead.
At first they gained rapidly, but evil
IDENTIFY their struggle had taken lot
out Of them, for the leader kept in
front to the tape. winning easily

From a tabulated statement of the
| total vote of the state in the late cleo
tian on governor in ali but five counties
and an estimate of the vote in these
counties, a comparison can be made be-
tween the various parties and the gains
and losses since the last state election
analvzed.
The total republican vote for COVER
nor IS
republican lag 295
Populist 1lJ ~
Demo ratio NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 66,992
Prohibition ............... ............... 4,615
The republican plurality over both
democrats and populists is 1883 and
the official returns from the five coun-
les estimated may possibly make it a
clean majority over all three other par
ties
The total vote cast was 293, 324, ex-
ceeding the estimates of all the state
committees. In 1890 the total vote was
294,634 In that year the republican
vote for governor was 115,025 and the
populist vote IO6,972 But this is not
fair to the vote of either party, both the
republican and the populist guberna-
torial candidates running considerably
behind their tickets that year. The av-
erage populst vote in 1890 was 115, 372
and the average republican vote
121.474
It appears, therefore, from the re-
turns that the populists have gained 40
votes in four years and the republicans
have gained 24,822.
Compared with the vote of two years
ago the total vote Of last week fell off
10 per cent. The republican vote fell
off. however, but per cent. and the
combined democratic and popuiist vote
13 per cent.
The republican party cast more votes
than the two principal opposing par
ties, and undoubtedly has enough
votes to defeat the enemy in any form
at any election, provided its admins
tration of the affairs of the state is clean
and iEcorruptible and commends itself
to the support and approval of the
members of its own party.

To give an idea of the pressure To be

to mention that upon one of these caisson

The cantilever beams are to catch these great

This weight Is " balanced upon the longer, inner
end Of the lever by the weight of floors above,
carried by another steel column resting upon
that end.
The preparation Of beds for these cantileyers
is a great work. To get a level surface, a three

laid nine four-inch-square steel billets. Upon
these comes the cantllever truss. consisting OF
two and sometimes three solid webbed beams
