Our esteemed cotemporary down in
Mcintosh county sheds copious tears
and refuses to be comforted because of
the reelection of Senator Hansbrough,
and lntimates that the delegation from
District 26 were too eager to Jump on the
band-wagon. Representative Baker was
on the band-wagon, from the beginning.
when there appeared possibility that 1t
might eventually do duty as a hearse.
Senator Wishek and Representative Bel
den were classed as anti. Hsnsbrough;
but when the party clans gathered at Bis
merck they saw that there WAS majority
sentiment favorable 10 the senator's re-
election. They found tha, the man
whom they had intended to support was
not q candidate that there was q spirl,
of harmony IN the air. They knew that
harmony among the republicans of this
state was badly needed. They discovered
that it was not the intention, of Hans
brough and his friends to "hog'" every.
thing in sight. but that there was an hon

THE HOLY ALLIANCE.
Alexander OF Russia "a Man OF Religious
Mind.


Mind.
The Emperor Alexander of Russia
was a man of mystical, 1t may be
said a superstitious, habit of mi nd,
deeply impressed with the divine right
of kings, and, it must be added, with
a corresponding conviction of the obli-
cation to govern according to what he
regarded as Christian principles, says
the Nineteenth Century. He proposed,
therefore, that the sovereigns in con-
gress should enter into a holy alliance,
in which each pledged himself person.
ally to rule according to the Christian
standard, and to come to the asssta nee
of any other in the case of dome site
as we'll as International difficulty.
Lord Castlereagh, as the representative
of this country, demurred to pledge
which his sovereign could not under
take independently of parliament But
he desired to avoid all possibility OF
disagreement with the other powers,
and especially not to offend the suseep-
Utilities of a parsonage who had been
so influential in overcoming the com
mon enemy; and after correspondence
with Lord Liverpool at home, the
prince regent wrote friendly letter
expressing his personal interest and
sympathy with the aims of the other
sovereigns, while refraining on the
ground of constitutional necessity from
entering, on his own part, into any
obligations such as were proposed.
The other powers had no such heB sta
dion. They undertook the sacred duty
of crushing trouble at the beginning by
lending their forces to put down any
movement, whether strictly domestic
or not, which threatened to interfere
with an established organization. The
general outcome of the settlement was
a series of guarantees against intdrna-
tional aggression, supplemented by the
special obligations sof the members OF
the holy alliance to suppress internal
disorders.

Railroad Economv

The Baltimore and Ohio South West

with electric motors on turn-table g.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is a service Of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. 1t generally
takes four men to turn locomotive,
and while they are doing SO their reg

Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with sud- success
that the Park Street turn-table in
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant
and 1t cost on an average of less than
one-half a cent for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was
operated by hand 1t cost IL cents fol-
each engine. The yearly saving IL

Wayside Flowers.

Many passages Of the Scripture are
like hundreds Of wayside flowers,
which for months and years are I'M
noticed by us, simply because we have
been accustomed from our childhood
to see them without STOPPING to pluck
or to examine them. Many OF the
honeliest flowers would appear trans
cendentry beautiful If we would take
the trouble to study them infinitely,
to magnify their parts. and to bring
out their constituent elements. And
so we were taught to read the Bible

walked along the chapters that we
have beaten dusty path in them,
and some of their most precious and
beautiful things are neither precious
nor beautiful to US, simply because we
look at them and not into them
