'Show me a man who is alarmed for
fear the supreme court is being at
tackled and | will show you a man who
belongs to that class of citizens who
have property assessed for taxation in
a less proportion to it's value than the
poor man who has to pay his taxes on
his home. Bryan at Detroit.
That remark is worthy of attention:
not because of intrinsic merit, not be-
cause it has the slightest element of
truth, for it has neither; but to illus
trate the cheap demagoguery and the
extremity that characterize Bryan s
efforts. He knows. that every voter
who has carefully read the Chicago
platform knows, that it attacks the life
tenure of the judges, denounces the ac-
ton of the court in the income tax case.
and purposes to make the supreme court
subservient to the will of the admins
tration that may happen to be in power
Does he think for an instant that any
considerable number of voters is to be-
lieve that only those fear these things
who have over $4,000 in annual income
or in brief those who would be sub
iected to the proposed income tax? OF
course he doesn't. There is no individ-
ual SO humble, that the maintenance
of the integrity of the highest tribunal
in the land is not of the utmost interest
to him. But Bryan fears to have the
voters look at it in this way and he
omits no opportunity to play upon pref
udice and to engender bitterness with
out cause. So strong is this desire on
ever preposterous, as this statement,
which we quote. is the best of evidence.

Why Suppress Watson's Letter?

There appears to be a disposition on
the part of Chairman Butler of the
Populist committee to smother Mr.
Watson's letter of acceptance. 1t is
said that this document has, in con-
centrated form, most of those lurid,
phosphorescent fulgurations so char
acteristic of the thin-voiced Georgia
statesman. 1t is alleged, by those who
pretend to know whereof they speak,
that by far the greater part of Mr.
Watson's letter is devoted to the ex-
coriation of Brother Sewall. Mr. Wat
son writes in a much more sonorous
voice than he uses in speaking. His
composition teens with the unbrag-
eous qualities of his bosky Georgia
wilds. 1t is rich in soothing words of
ohjurgation and castigation. 1t leaps
exultantly down into the profoundest
depths of contempt and vilipendency
and then eddies away in little, whirl-
pools of eXecration and anathamatiza-
lion. When it is finally past the tired
spectator leans wearily against the
nearest tree or fence, wipes the cold
sweat from his brow, and murmurs in
uncertain accents, Where am l at?'
This is the kind of a composition that
Mr.. Butler is withholding from an
anxious public for fear of it's soaring
effect upon the Bryan campaign. Out,
out we say on such a knave. We know
that Mr.. Sewall is a Maine man; but
what of that. Uncork the vials of Wat
sonian wrath, Mr.. Butler. Let no
guilty man escape

Mountain railways attracted the at
tention of engineers at a comparatively
early date in the history of railway
traffic. Undoubtedly the Semmering
railway holds the distinction of being
the first mountain railway that was
pailt. This line connects Vienna with
the Mediterranean at Trieste. The
works were commenced in 1S4s. and.
Notwithstanding the difficulties with
winch engineers had to cope. the line
was completed and opened in the wear
1904. 1t eliminates in tunnel 1862
yards long. The general gradients on
the line vary from one in forty-five to
one In forty-seven. An experimental
line was constructed on the high peak
IN Derbyshire in 1S63-64. The outcome
OF this was the Mont Cents line. on
which the trial trip was made in An
gust, 1867. The earliest American
mountain railway is that on Mount
washington. 1t was opened In 1869

another communication relative to the
alarming growth of the cigarette habit
among the young boys of our city. We
certainly agree with the suggestion
that some method should be devised to
prevent boys from indulging this habit
in public, and when this is done prac-
tical step will be taken in the work of
abolishing, or at least minimizing. this
evil. This is not subject to be passed
over with some facetious observation
or attempted witticism 1t is far too
serious. It's consequences to society
are fraught with too great a degree of
gravity. The boys of today are the
men of tomorrow, and the future of the
community demands that they take up
the responsibilities of citizenship with
sound minds in sound bodies. We are
inclined to believe that the communi-
cation above referred to does not adyo-
cate any too drastic measures for do
ing away with hits evil 1t is a matter
that calls for and should receive the
attention it merits.
