conductor of the o. r. c., and p H.
Morrisey grand chief OF the 3. of r.
T., and General Manager Frey and

The following is the supplement in
full:
l. Mileage limit of passenger crews.

1000 miles per month, 5000 miles will
be considered months work, except
between La JunIa and Albuquerque,
where $500 miles will be the limit. On

cred months work. except between
La Junta and Albuquerque. where $500
miles viii be considered the limit. In
case any runs exceed the above limits,

St. Joseph to be paid on mileage basis.
s. On all divisions brakemen will re-
ceive one hour overtime for coaling en-
gines. but shall be paid only once for
the same time. This is intended to
provide that if crew is paid one hour
overtime for turning and switching a
train, or for doing work at a station,
and the cOaling was done within the
time 50 paid for. they shall not receive
pay for cOaling.
Z. 1t is understood that in case of
breach of trust where the general Off
GERS are satisfied beyond a doubt that
trainmen are dishonest, they reserve
the right to dismiss them from the serv-
ice without formal Investigation.
Should the general or division officers
OF he organize tons of conductors or
trainmen question the justice of such
dismissals, the management viii en-
deaVor to satisfy them that such action
is justified.

Early in the campaign Mr.. Sage sur

his Overcoat This was an incaudous
move, for it led the Republican national

empty hand. The committee called

help the cause that he sent the commit

decrease, S946, 205; net earnings Sc. 3S2. r
sos. increase S1.OS3 SOS, and surplus
after charges of S141.721. The decrease
in operating expenses is partly due to
the treating of unadjusted expenses Of
the receivership period as prior Habil-
tiles.
The report speaks of the termination
of the receivership and the organization
of the new company, and mentions the
relations with the St. Louis & San
Francisco and Atlantic & Pacific COM
panies and the leasing of its coal prop
critics. The physical condition Of the
property is good, and the equipment is
being overhauled. A conservative esti-
mate OF the items to be received from

TALKED ALL NIGHT.
Free Silver Orators Subjected to an
Arduous Work.

Arduous Work.
st. Louis. Oct. 3L-Probably the most
remarkable meeting of this most re-
markable campaign took place Monday
night at Town hall in Engelmann town
ship, over in st. Clair county.
It was a Bryan silver meeting and it
lasted from 1880 in the evening until
sun up the next mOraing. The hall
was crowded with farmers, who don't
get a chance to feast their senses on
campaign Oratory every night in the
week
They were enthusiastic, as only plain
men who believe with all their being
in a great cause can be- and they could
not hear enough about free coinage Of
silver.
The announced speakers, in response
to loud urgings to go on" kept at it
until they had exhausted their argu-
ments and their strength, and then vol
untary speakers took up the cudgel
against the goldbugs-
The cry was still for more, and the
first speakers again took a whirl. The
love feast continued until the dawn be-
gan to break and with a final cheer for
Bryan, Altgeld and free silver the meet
ing broke up and the farmers dispersed
to their homes in time to give the stock
their morning feed.

has started from that city to ride 10 San
Francisco on a donkey. He uses that
means OF transportation because the
people were not donkeys enough to elect
Mr.. Bryan. He is not allowed to take
any scrip in his purse. He must supply
his wants by selling his pictures, writ
Ing and lecturins, about the way in
which Mr.. Bryan expects to support
himself until he shall have another
chance TO ask the people to support him.
On his way the donkey man is to call
on Major Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan. The
visit to Mr.. Bryan will have a melan-
choly interest for that gentleman, who
will be forced to take that donkey into
painful consideration. The association
of ideas will not escape so keen an OBJ

The Populists are pluming themselves
on the increase In their vote this year.
They arc fairly entitled to claim the
whole vote cast for Bryan, for he was
n Popullst nominee on a Popullst plat
form. The Popullst movement got un-
der full head OF steam at Chicago, aud Mt
the polls 1t practically wiped out the
Democratic party.
Populists are greatly encouraged, for
they think they have practically swal-
lowed the Democrats who supported
Bryan. So 1t appears but there are
men who followed the Popullst lead this
time who will not follow 1t next time.
They tried to defudc themselves into the
belief that they were remaining In the
Democratic party. They know better
now.
The whole animating spirit of the
Bryan campaign was Populist. That
spirit animates the organization which
followed Bryan. It will take up with
the same kind of man next time and
about that time a considerable part OF
this years following Will be looking else
where.
That element will be ready to take part
in a movement to rehabllitate the old
Democratic party. likely enough under
the leadership of the Democrats who led
this year in the movement to get away
from Bryan. The Popullsts cannot
count on anything like the vote in 1900
they got this year.
