ATTITUDE ON THE TARIFF.

Senator Martin will also discuss the
tariff question. 1t will be remembered
that at the Roanoke convention his vote
on the lumber schedule Of the tariff bill
was referred to as being at variance
with the position of his colleague.
Should this matter come up at all in
the campaign, Senator Martin will have
ample explanation TO make of his ac-
ton. When the proposition upon which
he voted came before the Senate il was
motion to strike off the duty upon
white pine lumber, which had been fixed
by the bill at 81 per thousand feet
Senator Martin was not willing that
this discrimination should be made in
favor of the only lumber which came
in competition with the yellow pine of
Virginia. Had the motion been one to
strike off all duty on all kinds of lum-
Der, it would have received his hearty
assent. AS it was, the adoption of the
amendment would have Disseminated
against the interests of Virginia to a
very marked extent. The pine of Vir-
ginia is shipped TO the North as far as
freight charges will allow its transport
tation before 1t is placed at a disad-
vantage by the incoming OF Canadian
pine. The abolition of the proposed duty
would have widened the market for the
Canadian product and consequently les
sened the territory of consumption for
the Virginia lumber. and Senator Mar
tin was not willing that this discrimina-
ton should be made, unless all lumber
was placed on an equal footing. In the
section Of the State where lumber is
most largely handled Senator Martins
vote is understood. and has been uni
versally commended, and when the ex-
PLANTATION now given is made upon the
stump, there is little doubt that it will
be accepted as showing that Mr.. Mar
tin pursued wise and proper course.
Apart from this single instance there
is no division in the State upon the
tariff question. The higher prices which
are now being quoted at every cross

The week has been excessively hot and
Tor the most part dry In nearly all dis
fricts east OF the Rocky Mountains.
With sufficient moisture the condi-
tons would have been most favorable to
corn, but In most of the important corn

late planted. has suffered seriously from
drought, and is being premature!y rip-

from frost and cutting has begun in
the most northerly sections. In Ne
hraska, recent rains will improve late
corn. and with favorable conditions ir,
Iowa during the next two weeks some
OF the late corn Will make fair yield the
early crop having been rapidly rlpened
under the excessive heat of the past two
weeks, with some detrlmcnt to quality.
IN hanSas most OF the early corn has
been cut and the late planted Is suffer-

conditions will have but little effect upon
Inc crop IN Missouri, where il has been
seriously and permanently injured.

Married deterioration IS reported from

INTERESTING TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

Frogs anu Switches.

among the numerous notable gather
!ngs that have been held at Old Point
~ the last twelve months, none Is 1t1ore
interesting than the convention Of the
hoadmasters of America. now in session
there. I'D
The impor tance of the work of this as
Soclatlon has been commensurate with
1he growth of American railways in
general, since track conditions are quite
as important an element as locomotive
and rolling Gtock equipment In the
maintenance of the heavy trains and
nigh speed demanded by modern meth
DDS of business.
A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS.
The programme embraces a variety Of
subjects whose careful treatment by the
several committees in their reports and
by the members iun discu ssion should
ADD materially to the available in
formation upon the subject of track
maintenance. The hest method Of
preventing the creeping Of rails" is one
OF the subjects and Is obviously more
practical question than why rails Green
Ihe latter being the form under which
the subject has been most extensively
treated Heretofore. Upon the matter Of
Tie plates there is much literature and
considerable diversity or opinion as to
individual patterns.
The matter of track joints rests mt
present upon a basis somewhat similar
70 that outlined in the case OF tie plates
The relative merits of supported and
suspended Joints, or long and short
angle plates and the various patented
devices embodying one or another fea-
ture. have received considerable atten-
ton. The present committee has been
assigned the duty of reporting upon
the results of various devices.
The question assigned to Mr.. II. w.
Church, Lake Shore road rs the subject
OF an individual paper covers the best
method OF directing and supervising the
work of section foremen and the re-
ports necessary for the special informa-
ton the roadmaster to enable him to
successfully direct and control the work.
tOTHBR SUBJECTS.
The two remaining subjects are: "Is
1t economical to put in ties out Of a
race or In patches?" and --latest i'm
proVements In frogs and switches" The
former subject Is a good one for thor
ough discussion. Whether it Is better to
replace every tic in q given d.stal.ce or
put them in here and there as they seem
to be needed, will probably depend
largely on the quality of ties used and
the cost of handling.
