Railroad men in Omaha yesterday
were inclined to believe that a number
of changes would follow Mr.. Burt's in
stallation as president. thai the Union
Pacific would be for the first time in its
history absolutely divorced from poll
tics and that it would be operated in a
strictly railroad. business-like fashion.
The Vanderbilt school Of ra%ilroading.
from which Mr.. Burt has been gradu.
ated. is known as teaching close, bust
ness principles. That the influence OF
this school on Union Pacific matters is
likely to be felt in the very lear future
Is the opinion of the best posted rail-
road men in Omaha today. One other
matter that is conceded by those who
best know Mr.. Burt is that he will be
the real head of every department in
the Union Pacific railroad. Such was
his custom on the Elkhorn and such, it

partment. The representatives OF all

THE APPOINTMENT EXCELLENT.
When asked his opinion of the ap-

said today:
The appointment, to my mind, could

should Mr.. Dickinson be appointed

MEAT NOT A NECESSARY FOOL
Its Too Generous Use Breaks Down
Americans in Middle Life.

Mrs. S. T. Rorer writes on DO We
Eat Toe Much Meat" in the January
Ladies' Home Journal, answering her
own query a~firmatively. Meat" she
asserts, sis not at all necessary to a
perfect existence. Most people, how
ever. look upon it as though it formed
the only food upon which they coula
work, and yet many great athletes have
never touched it. Meat, after it enters
the stomach and is digested, may be
injurious, but for all this the ordinary
American has made up his mind that
lean meat gives him less trouble than
any other food. so he takes it in large
quantities, invariably breaking down
at middle life with just such diseases
as come from the overuse of oncen
trated heterogeneous foods. Children fed
on beef juice and beef soups. with
white bread, lose the various salts
necessary to the building OF bones,
teeth and muscles, and the soda for
the blood. The outer part of the wheat,
which Is so rich in these early salts,
is cast aside. so that the child in grow
ing gets weak bone structure as a frame
for its can flesh. The stalwart men OF
Scotland find that porridge and milk
contain all the muscle, bone and nerve
food necessary for an active existence.
AN excess of carbonaceous food, ON
the cther hand, forms IN accumulation
of fat. preventing the complete nourisn.
ment Of the muscles. The over-fat per-
son has bulk without strength: his W.
tai power is always deficient. while the

hension that the Republican Convention will anliate

formers whose total strength on the eve OF election
in the year 1898 was found to be something over
1900 votes. Even had the Gifts consented to
have the Republicans take tho ~initiatory step in
the nomination of Mr.. Seth Low. It would have been
extremely dstasteful to q large number OF Repub-
licans to swallow this gown. bedizened candidate,
and there is no doubt that many would have either
voted direct for tho Tammany Hall candidate or
stayed away from the polls altogether. Happily all
danger from contamination by the Cits is past, and
Republicans rejoice that they will have the pleasure
Of voting for a Chief Magistrate whose political con-
vtctions will stand the most crucial test.
The Eight for sound money must be fought to q
finish, and It would be an e~gregious error to deprive
the Republicans OF the control which is necessary to
place them in an adv ambiguous position to cope with
Organism successfully in the next Presid entail battle.

Unanimous and Profound Sentiment.

Organism. The same is true of all tho
verbal communication made to us. We
recall no previous expression Of popular
sentiment more unanimous and of deeper
significance.
hose letters and communications come
from both Republicans and Democrats F.;
and they prove that the conspiracy against
the party upon which depend the hopes of
the foes of Organism has been detected
generally as the pestilent and

resentment in the community which will

conspirators in the coming campaign. The
Indignation expressed Is all the more pro.
found among honest men because the plot

In the judgment of THE SUN this was q
misuse of the signatures to this petition.

Tho Republican Duty.

This is q partisan country. 1t is gov
erned by parties. It's citizens are educated
as partisans, and look upon partisanship
rs the only escape from monarchy. Parties
are the foundation of American politics
and the basis of our social order. Efforts
to set up a non.partisan ruler responsible
to no one but himself, like the Citizens
Unions campaign for Mr.. Low. can disturb
the country's serenity. but they cannot
change its habits.
The notion that the Democratic organi-
sation Of New York can be defeated by q
candidate who, like Mr.. Low, is in himself
the very spirit Of disorgapization, and Of
lofty contempt for the sentiment which
has held the Republican party and all
other political organizations together, is
purely fanatical. The extreme power
of political machinery could not rally
American voters enough to elect such
q candidate. And II by folly or by
treachery the Republican Endorsement
should be given to Mr.. Low, the election
would close not only with the party Of
Organism triumphant, but with the regu-
lar opposition to it broken, scattered, and
impotent. 1t would be glorious to the Cit.
zens' Union to see even one of the two great
parties smashed in New York, but to the
nation at large it would be an incalculable,
possibly an irretrievable misfortune.
The obligation Of the New York Republi.
Fans to keep the Republican party in the
field, headed by its own unquestionable can
didate, is as clear as was that Of the Repub-
licans of the United States in 1896 to NOM
mate a Republican candidate and to appeal
first of all to Republican sentiment. If a
year ago, when the air teemed with nom
craftsmanship and a union of many elements
had to be made against BRYAN, the Repub-
licans had hearkened to such counsels as
The Citizens Union now puts forth for New
York. and had nominated a Mugwump cry
Ing his personal virtues. the dreaded disas-
ter would have fallen, and BRYAN would
be President to-day, with no organization
powerful enough to check him.
Mr.. Lows candidacy, Of course, greatly
Increases the chances of the Bryan Democ-
racy's return to power in New York; but
tho battle has been by no means lost. And
every day with the Republican candidate
in sight will see chances of Republican VIC
tory grow brighter.

Japan 10 take the canal out OF our hands.
or to have anything to do with IL, nor has
the Diet. at Its session which opened last
month In Managua, discussed the subject.
But Washington dispatches give q
third version of the story, namely, that tho
Central American authorities sought to en-
list the aid Of Japan in building the canal,
or In guaranteeing It's neutrality, or both,
and were met by Japan's frank response b
she would do nothing without our consent
and sanction, as she fully recognized the
Monroe doctrine.
This last Interpretation Of the AFFAIR at
least conforms with the statement from
Managua that Japan had made no offer.
The real question then left Is as to whether
the ambitious Greater Republic OF Gen.
trail America has made tentative sugges-
lions, thus committing a grave error. NO
n that President ZELAYA hastens to
declare that Nicaragua would like to have
the canal built either by the United States
or by private enterprise.
1t is enough to say that under the grants
made by Nicaragua to American citizens,
which have been the subject OF action
by our Congress, Nicaragua Is not at lib
erty to deal with Japan in this matter.
The great waterway will be built, and the
one sure thing Is that neither Japan nor
any other country beyond the seas will have
anything to do with its control.
