4 Common Platform.

We have been predicting for weeks
that there is no possibility Of a compro-
mise between the regular Republicans
and Addicksltes. II doubt fingered In
the mind of any man. the positive
utterAncs Of ]. Edward Addicks should
dlspel II There Is oae thing certain,
and that is that the compromise. II there
be any, must come from the Addlcks side
for the regulars are out for hyht to
hnish.
With this condition confronting the
Republicans. It is time for Democrats to
sink their differences and unlte for the
success Of the state ticket We can
stand either NJ cKinley or Bryan with far
less discomfort than we can stand
Higgins or AddIcks.
No matter how we may be at odds on
the currency question We can all stand
upon the common platform Of a Demo-
cratic General Asstmbly, = Democratic
Constitutional Convention, Democratic
Levy Courtr, . Democratic governor,
Democratic state and county
officials, with Democratic laws
honestly and efficiently administered by
Democratic officials. Get together on
the state ticket; carry It to Victory. and
the worst of impending political evils
will have been Averted.

Our NeIrhhor n1arIno-


The very thing which the people Of this
country 80 much dread IL q cause for
much oongratulation on the part Of our
neighbor, Mexico. People 10 this country
imagine that no end Of trouble would re-.
suit II President whore popularity
would enable him to hold the executive
chair for eight years should be elected for
third term Some OF us imagine that
be would immediately become a dsspOt
and the people would be ruled instead OF
governed
We do not believe In third term, but
there has been vast amount Of nonsense
written about IL. It is self-spparsnt
that Diaz, the present ruler Of Mexico,
who has held the Office for twenty years
or 80 ard now been reelected almost
unanimously, was the most suitable per-
son for the position. Tine government IN.
der bis control has shown no disposition
TO usurp the rights Of thu ctizsns of
the country, although 1t possesses more
power than is delegated to that Of this
country. Mexico needs a strong hand.
It's previous history shows that the peo-
pie are not 60 capable Of governing
themselves as are these Of the United
States.
There Is no doubt that the Republican
form Of government is the most popular
with the people of Mexico. While It's
history In that country, previous to the
election Of DiRz, was that OF almost con-
tinual civil strife, owing to the ambition
Of the wealthy military leaders and their
supporters, Disz has put a stop to all
this. BE has been the ruler Of Mexico
and has put down all disorder In the In
tsrsst OF the people He has blessed his
country with a government which could
be relied upon and 1t has been pro per
Gus In consequences.
Having assured the peace Of the
country, President Diaz has paid the
greater part Of his attention OF late ye arr
to It's progress and civilization. To him
is due the education and the genera
uplifting OF bis country in the scale o.
nations. Intercourse with other nations
especially with the United States, hal

No Taxes in Glasgow.

From the Chicago Journal.
1t Is said that the city OF Glasgow will
levy no ttxss after January /, 1897;
that It's entire income Is to be derived
from public works now in it's own pos
session. There Is cheer for other muni
e!pslities In this announcement, but for
Chicago at least there Is no present pros
pect Of a realization Of the Glasgow
ideal. From the eonptroller's statement
II appears that the total recsipts OF this
city tor 1925 were something over $50,
COO 600 OF this amount over $1l 600,
came from the tax levy. II the city owned
all the gas plants and all the street
railways the income from them would
not be one-hklf OF this sum. In 1895
the net earnings OF the three great street
rsilway systems amounted to SO 397, 102.
Nobody on the outside knows just what
the gas companies sArn, but from what
Is known OF their capital stock and the
declaration OF dividends IL is probable
that their net earnings are In the neigh

booming stberia.
From the New York Tribune.
Satisfactory progress Is apparently be-
Ing made on the Cars great iron read
across Siberia. The line Is now practi-
cRlly completed as far as Tomsk, and
the regular running of freight and
passenger trains to and from that point
was begun some days ago Tomsk is q
city OF nearly 90, 900 inhabitants, on th
Obi river, about midway between the
Ural Mountains and Lake Baikal, and
2 500 miles from st. Petersburg. II is
the seat OF the government OF the same
name, province nearly twice as great in
area rs Great BrltRin and Ireland The
city has long been an important centre
of trade, on the route between Tiumen
and Irkootsk The completion of the
railroad thus far will fAcilitats It's
further construction from Tomsk
eastward by bringing materials
and Workmen forward more
rapidly. It Is doubtful, however, II
progress In future proves to be as ex
penditious as In the past. Beyond Tomsk
the country is far lees suitable for rail-
road building. There are more noun
tsins 10 bs crossed, and rivers to be
blidgcd. and vast swamps to be
trsversed. But "by order Of tho Gear"
the work will be pushed as vigorously
as possible. not only from Tomsk, but at
the same time from the Pacific coast, and
In both directions from Lake BAikal, 40
that there Is reason to expect it to be
Flushed, from tho Baltic TO the Pacific,
by 1905, the sprointsd date. Apart from
military strategy, the chief object Of this
gigantic undertaking Is the opening Of
Siberia to other than penal set
Element and the development Of It's re
sources AS is apt to be the case, how
ever, In such enterprises, the booming
Of the new country has been considerably
overdops, or has at least been premature
Thousands of settlers have rushed to
Siberia thoughtlessly too far In advance
OF anything like adequate social aud in
dustrial organization. Artisans from the
cities have gone without the slightest
knowledge Of agriculture, to places
where agriculture is the only pos
sibe occupation. The result Is
great distress Hosts Of dlsap-
pointed and discouraged men are
making their way back to Russia
as best they can. More are un
able, from lack of means, to do so, and
are encamped In tents or huts on the
open plait g, almost starving, aud begging
for assistance, either to get back to
Russia or 10 begin some sustaining
occupation where they are. In time, Of
course. all such matters will be corrected,
and then we may expect to see Southern
Siberia and Russian Central Asia steadily
and even rapidly growing in stable popu
latlon and profitable industry. Samar
