STRANGE GLOBE TRorTERs.


-.
a A. remarkable journey has recently
been commenced by two young men
In North Dakota. They propose to trav-
el around the world with team of
dogs. Eight big, well-trained New
foundlands are to draw them every
step Of the way-except, of course,
where 1t is necessary to cross the
ocean. The dogs have already been
procured and six of them are shown
In the accompanying picture. Only six
will be put In harness at one time; the
other two will run behind as a reserve
force, to take the places of any that
become lame or exhausted. Six months
have been spent In training these fine
fellows; and they are as obedient rs
horses and almost as strong. The
lightest weighs 100 pounds, the heav-
lest ITO; and on an ordinary road they
can easily make twenty or thirty miles
day. drawing their burden. Horses

could hardly do better; and this team
may very possibly prove much more
useful than horses in unexpected ways.
If the boys, in any of the half-civilized
regions through which they must pass,
should happen to be threatened with
rough usage, these eight huge dogs
would be formidable allies.

HER CONTRACT FORFEITED.

Denver's Woman Garbage Collector
Unable to Do the Work.
Denver's experiment with a woman as
garbage contractor has proved failure.
Mrs. May Il. Pickerell took the contract
at SO low figure that, in order to meet
expenses, she was obliged to require the
hog men to pay her So each for the privi-
lege Of collecting the refuse. They re-
fused to do so, and the garbage has not
been removed. Consequently, Mayor Nc

When the national Republican conven-
ton meets in st. Louis June 16 the dele
gates will witness an innovation In the
matter of handling big convention. 1t
is a scheme proposed by the Bell Tele-
phone Company. The proposition is to
connect the various State delegations
with the Speakers desk by telephone, so
that the Chairman may know the name
Of every man who is recognized and thus
be able to announce his name to the con-
vention. In order to handle the great
press Of business the Western Union
Company is stringing six new copper
wires from st. Louis to Chicago and four
from there to New York This will give
st. Louis the best telegraphic connection
with the outside world it has ever had.
About 500 loops will be run into the con-
vention hall. The Postal company Is
also stringing three new copper wires
between st. Louis and Chicago and two
more from there to New York City direct.

Substitute BIN Offered.

The views of Senator Morgan on the
Pacific Railway refunding bill were sub
mitted to the Senate Tuesday by Sena-
tor Pugh. in behalf Of his colleague, who
was called out Of the city. The Sen
ator takes a position decidedly antago-
nistic to the bill reported, and begins by
sharply criticising the joint meetings Of
the subcommittee Of the two houses for
the formulation Of the bill. He charac-
terizes this concerted action as breach
OF duty and privilege. Such action Is,
he says, calculated to bring the pressure
Of outside influence of the most serious
character to bear directly upon the action
Of the Senate and to its free judgment
upon the measure before it. The added
burden of the adjudication by a commit
tee of the House is calculated to 'smoth-
er out" the minority. Taking up the bill,
the Senator says the proceeding proposed
Is one Of bargain and sale in disposing
of the property and rights of the Govern
ment, and is novel because hitherto Con-
gress has not engaged in that line of bust
ness. Senator Morgan says an examina-
ton Of Mr.. Huntington's testimony be-
| fore the Senate committee on Pacific
roads will disclose most extraordinary
condition Of affairs relating to the Gen.
| trail and Southern Pacific railroads and
other roads connected with Them" and
continues: without attempting, in this
paper, to array the evidence Of fraud and
speculation which Huntington's testimony
vainly attempts to conceal, attention is
drawn to the fact that his evasions Of the
truth, as it is thoroughly established, are
| his main reliance for misleading Congress
in his effort to capture the Central Pacific
Railway, after 1t has made him and his
three or four associates enormously rich,
on the plea that his pride impels him to
save this road from bankruptcy, to which
his fraudulent dealing seems to have
driven it."

The Candidates COntrasted.

The political events of the pas
week brought out in such a clear
light the characteristics of the two
leading candidates for the Presi-
dency that they cannot fail to i'm
press the country. One of the can
didates left his home and travelled
half way across the continent in
order to receive theatrical notfica-
tion OF his nomination His coming
had been heralded for weeks and the
most elaborate preparations had
been made to receive him and make
the event historical and decisive in
a campaign sense. All along the
route there were evident efforts to
arouse enthusiasm and to create the
popular Juror on which Mr.. Bryan
hopes TO ride into the Presidency.
Mr.. Bryan came, was seen, talked
and has retired for q time from the
public gaze. Not even his most en-
thusiastic follower can claim that
his journey has added one atom of
strength to his candidacy, while any
unprecedented observer can see that it
has dissipated that glamour that sur
rounded him while he was still an
unknown quantity. His car-end
speeches have dropped fiat. They
were reported in full by the news
papers of both parties, but the pub.
lie has not been able to find in anv
one of them a new thought or a |
phrasing of the issues of the cam
paign which will clear up any mans
doubts. But the greatest failure OF
all was the speech in Madison Square
Garden when with all the tinsel and
trappings about him and with hui
man mine ready to be exploded by
a train of burning elOquence he ut
terly failed to prove equal to the oc-
casion.
While all this parade and osten-
tatious show has been going on the
opposing candidate for the Presi-
dencY has been quietly pursuing the
even tenor ofhis way. Without any
attempt at display or to dazzle the
people Mr.. Mckinley has extended
3 courteous welcome to all who have Z
visited him and given a frank and
appropriate reply to every greeting. t
The dignity and selfpoise of the $
man have impressed not only those 5
who have seen and heard him but c
also those who have been compelled Il
to satisfy themselves with tele- Il
graphic account of the event and the a
speech. His remarks have been so b
clear, concise and epigrammatic that &c
thew have impressed themselves Ct

heard and read them and they will

newspapers that are supporting the
cause OF sound money have steadily
grown warmer in their praise of Mr..
M Kinlcv as the number of his
speeches has increased. No more
enthusiastic commentator has been
bestowed by his own party than has
been given by Democratic newspa-
pers to speeches made by the Repub-
lican candidate the past week. The
Boston Herald says that "by all odds
the most effective campaign work
that is being done at present is 10 be
credited to Major Mckinley when
he addresses his old army comrades.
These occasions have been frequent
of late and Major McKinley's re-
sponses to the salutatiOns of the vet
Grams have been models Of patriotic
oratory."
When Major Mckinley said Il
believe it is good deal better to
open up the mills of the United
States to the labor of America than
to open up the minis of the United
States to the silver of the world he
gave his followers the issues of tue
campaign summed up in the tersest
of language and in shape that the
busiest of voters can grasp. 1t is
such things as these that are exhib-
iting to the country the real charac-
ter of the Republican candidate for
the Presidency and impressing it
with a sense of his fitness for that
high office and leading the people to
contrast him with the shallow pre-
tense and evident attempt to deceive
of his opponent.-Record.

speech was more in line with the
Chicago platform. All of this Oc-
Cured amid great confusion. See

vote a recess was taken. A lter the

New Castle mob being absent, Handy
was named for Congress.
And after the other business had
been transacted the meeting ofchaos
and confusion adjourned.
The convention of lungs and lun-
acy was at an end.
After the convention and on the
train up the Ford men were loud in
their denunciations Of Tunnel They
declare that he has played the part
of deception and that Mr.. Ford has
been buncOed. They assert that Mr..
Ford did not enter the contest until
he had been assured positively that
/ Tunnel was not a candidate. They
say that they will knife Tunnel at
the polls and that Tunnels sup
posed friends in Sussex will sell out
to Addicks.
The nomination of Handy for Con-
gress showed the silver strength.
Handy was named solely because he
is a silver man. He was named de-
spite the opposition of the forces of
all the counties. John f. Salisbury
was against him. declaring that
Armstrong was "a good silver man
and lad more money than Handy
has" But Handy had plead the
cause of silver, and silver sentiment
suppressed in the committees reso-
lutiOns loudly broke forth and tri-
umphed in the nomination of Con-
gresham.
