PRESIDENT WINTER.

Tho Now Chief Omcer OF the Reor.
Eanized Northern Pacific.
Edwin w. Winter, the new president
OF the recently reorganized Northern
Pacific railroad, is one Of the most brill
liant. as well as one of the most popu-
lar, railroad men of the west, with the
transportation interests of which he
has been closely identified for more
than quarter OF a century. He is con-
coded to be one of the most thoroughly
posted railroad men in western terri
tory, and it Is believed he will achieve
additional laurels as the executive head
OF such great railroad system as the
Northern Pacific, says the Chicago
Times-Herald.
For tn elast sixteen years Mr. Winter
has been one OF the leading officials of
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha road. which is operated in con-
nectton with the Chicago & Northwest
ern. He went to 1t in 1879 to become
general superintendent Of what was
then the Chicago, St. Paul & Minneap-
oils. In 1881 he was made assistant
president Of the road. which position he
held until the close of 1885, when he
was made general manager, the posi-
ton he resigned to become president of
the Northern Pacific. In 1888 he was
made director Of the company. an Of

BURKE'S SPEECHES.

At HIS Beat the American 0uestioo
Not vituperative.
He is at his best in his speeches on
the American question and the letter
on the same question to the sheriffs OF
Cornhill Magazine. The elevation OF
and our moral sense are with him
throughout, sentiment is noble: the
style is superb; with all its fervor and
force it retains the calmness, the So
briefly. the dignity Of truth. He hard
ly ever becomes declamatory; he Is
never vituperative. Only once or
twice does he lapse into the tasteless
and extravagant metaphor which de-
faced his later style. Political writing
grander or more fuller of instruction.,
moral and prudential, there is none. It
must be said, on the other hand. that
Burke is not in full possession OF the
case. He thinks that taxation Is the
only ground Of quarrel; whereas the
revolt was. in fact. not less against
commercial restriction, which had been
rendered more CALLING by the unhappy
diligence of Granville. What was OF
still more Importance. he was ignorant
OF the existence at Boston OF repub-
lican circle headed by Samuel Adams.
which was bent on independence. and
when 1t held loyal language was but
masking it's real intent. Probably
Burke relied too much on the state
ments OF Franklin, who may have part
~ deceived himself. Though no mar
row pleader, he Is a pleader. not q
Judge. Had he been a judge he would
have said more about the outrages
committed by the Americans, which
shocked even so vehement a friend to
their cause as Chatham, and which no
government could be expected to en-
dure. He would have had a better
chance of prevailing with his own gov
eminent and his own countrymen had
he admitted that there was wrong on
both sides.

Visitors to Savannah" said Henry
B. Galloway OF that city at the Riggs
house recently, exhibit great interest
in a small, round tower that is easily
discernible when approaching the city
from the sea. 1t is OF stone. moss

OF the neighborhood are fond of tell
ing thrilling stories OF the part the
fort played in Spanish and Indian war
fare and they say that it was built
about the time St. Augustine was
founded.
The truth OF the matter is that the
tower WAS erected by the United States
government during the war OF 1912. 1t
saw some little service during the late
unpleasantness.' but did not figure in
any great action. The tower occupies
q prominent position on a promontory
At present 1t Is used as a reporting and

Frederick Bramwell. Contrasting .

by oars-with q modern Atlantic liner.
and assuming that prime movers were
non existent. and that this weasel was
to be propelled after galley fashion. he
proceeded thus: Take the length Of
the vessel as 600 feet. and assume that
place could be found for 40 many -
400 oars on each side. each oar worked
by three men. or 2.400 men. and allow
that six men under these conditions
could develop work equal to one horse
power. We should then have 400 horse
power. Double the number Of men and
we should have 800 horse power. with
1890 men Mt work. and at least the
same number In reserve II tho Journey
is to be carried ON continuously. Con.
trast the puny result thus obtained
with 1880 horse power given forth BY
a largo prime mover Of the present day.
such q power requiring on the above
mode OF calculation $4,000 men It
work and 1900 in reserve, and these
to be carried In vessel less than 600
feet In length. Even were 1t possible
to carry this number Of men In such .
vessel, by no conceivable means could
their power be utilized so as to impart
to It q speed Of twenty knots an hour.
This illustrates how a prime mover
may not only be mere substitute for
muscular work, but may afford the
means Of attaining an end that could
not by any possibility be attained by
muscular exertion, no matter what
money was expended or what galley
slave suffering was inflicted.
Take. again, the case Of railroad
locomotive, in which from 400 to 600
horse power is developed in an imple-
ment which. even including its tender.
does not occupy an area OF more than
fifty square yards, and that can attain
a speed OF more than sixty miles an
hour. Here again the prime mover
succeeds in doing that which no ex-
penditure of money or of life could
draw from muscular effort.-New Yorh

Ii Hung Chang speaks no language

her to have adopted the narrowness

spirit upon this thoughtful and gener-

the opposite camp.
Her conversion to the Irish cause was
due to dramatic incident which she
witnessed the night after her return
from long sojourn as a schoolgirl in
England. Near to the Come homestead
was the home of a Land Lacquer named
McGrath who had won wide fame
through his long struggle against be-
