Gridley Bryant, a civil engin-
Ger, in 1926, projected the first
railroad in the United States. 1t
was built for the purpose of car
rying granite from the quarries
of Quincy, Massachusetts, to the
nearest tidewater. 1t length was
four miles, including branches,
and its first cost $4,000. The
sleepers were of stone aad were
laid across the track eight feet
apart. Upon rails of wood, six
inches thick, wrought-iron plates,
three inches wide and quarter
of an inch thick, were spiked.
AT the crossings stone rails were
used, and as the wooden rails be-
came unserviceable they were
replaced by others of stone.

among the stockholders.


This seems to be quite a fail
ing of corporations managed by
salaried officials and when we
consider the weaknesses of hui
man nature it is hardly surpris-
ing that it should be so. Men
drawing salaries have great in.
terest to keep running the mills
from which they draw their pay.
From running the mills at loss
they do not suffer, but from clos
ing the mills they must suffer.
Consequently they are tempted
to keep the mills running at q
loss and pile up goods when it
would be prudence to curtail, if
not suspend production, for the
stockholders bear the loss while
the salaried managers continue
to profit. And it is just here
that comes in the temptation to
hide true conditions from the
stockholders, hide from them
losses, the knowledge of which
might be expected TO induce
them to order a shutting down
of the mills and consequent cut
ting off of the salaries of manag-
ers. So we have the inducement
for the hiding or losses and the
piling up of Indebtedness such as
has been brought to light by the
failure of two, at least, of these
Massachusetts corporations.
The cause leading up to tie
climax OF failure has been un-
doubtedly the m; nufacture and
piling up of goods far in advance
of the demand. 1t is the penalty
that many men have paid for
pinning faith on revival of de-
mand for manufactured goods to
follow Mr.. McKinley's election.
The hoped-for demand not hav-
ing materalized, those who ex-
tended production on this false
expectation have been left in the
lurch, left with bills payable
coming due and fabrics piled up
in their warehouses that they are
unable to sell and turn into
money. So they are left without
the ability of meeting their in.
debtedness and hover on the
brink of disaster.

An old-time California boom is
said to be in full blast in the
Yukon district. New and rich
placer mines have been discover
ed, as well as large area of
quartz rich in free gold. These
fields are on the Klondike river,
a good-sized stream of about $50
miles in length, which flows into
Yukon from the east. Another
stream which the Indians call
"All Gold" Already a sufficient
number of claims have been
staked to give employment 10
several thousand men. An enor-
nous rush is feared when the
richness and convenience of the
mines become known. Men are
able to do their own freighting,
saving time, money and loss.
Wages have risen to fifteen dol
lars day, but laborers cannot
be hired, as every man owns a
claim Now that the Alaska
boundary dispute is in fair way
of being settled, there will be a
marked impetus given to explor
alton and investment in the un-
known gold lands Of the great
Northwest. Americans will not
lose the chance.

The failures of five large cot
ton mills at New Bedford, Mass.
during the month just closed,
have caused lively unrest as to
the condition and prospects of
our textile industries in general,
especially of the New England
corporations similarly situated
to those that have gone under.
The significance of these failures
can be better appreciated by
keeping in mind that the involv-
ed corporations operated about
one-sixtieth or close to two per
cent. of all the spindles in the
United States. What is more
alarming than the mere failures
is the true condition of at least
two of the corporations was hid
den from their stockholders who
were lulled into confidence by
the continuance of the mills to
pay dividends right up to the
time of their failure. 1t is made
apparent that though figuring
out a profit they have been run
ming at loss and piling up a
debt while distributing dividends

had heard you apply injurious
epithets gratuitously and with
out provocation to the one who
has endeavored to endure adver-
sity with fortitude; had I heard
you dehounce as a lie a state
ment of whose truth you could

| heard no such language at
Carson as is imputed to you at

only parallel is the fictitious ex-
clamation you ascribe to the ex-
cited Mrs. Fitzsimmons. The
etiquette of the prize ring does
not permit a man TO call another
a liar, or accuse him of being a
''prostituted acrobat with i'm
punity. Perhaps you are in
correctly reported. I hope so.

Ingalls, Make. His Hn@wer.
A few days ago Bishop McCabe


of the Methodist church of Kan.
sas took occasion to severely
criticise ex-senator John J.
ingalls, for reporting the big
prize fight for the Examiner.
Mr.. Ingalls, has furnished this
caustic statement to the Leaven
worth Times in reply
My Dear Bishop McCabe In
q paper which / bought at Trni-
dad, on my way home from San
Francisco, | find the following
"At the Winfield conference
Bishop McCabe rose to a ques-
ton of personal privilege and
roasted John ]. Ingalls, for his
report of the prize-ight. He
said 1t is fitting sequel to the
man who declared the purifca-
ton of politics an iridescent
dream to find him sloug off
his Senatorial toga long enough
to prostitute his glowing rhetoric
for sporting readers of the Elk
aminer. What a contrast be-
tween the calm dignity with
which John j. Ingalls, held the
FESTIVE members of the upper
house of Congress within The
bounds of senatorial courtesy and
his gentle effort to soothe the
ruffled spirits of Mrs. Fitzsim-
mons when she shrieke | to her
husband : kill the dirty pup
Ply y / am 10th to leave the
acrobatic statesman amid such
congenial environment, but, as
an American citizen, I protest
against the statement that the
spectators of the brutal prize
fight tournament were average
citizens of this republic. :"
This statement is a lie; an in
suit to American citizenship and
American manhood. Not being
q member of the Methodist
church, | am at a loss to know
how censure of any act of mine,
no matter how nefarious it might
have been, is properly a ques.
ton OF personal privilege at the
Winfield conference; but my re-
spect for your high Office and
the great organization which
you represent, many of whose
members are my personal and
particular friends, renders it apt
that | should not allow your
comments to pass unnoticed.
Your revival cf the venerable
calumny that advocated deprav-
ity because said tie purifca-
ton of POLITICS by the methods
proposed by the Democrats and
Populists was an iridescent
dream, requires no extended re-
ply.
II you think that the politics
of Kansas and the nation have
been purified by the precepts of
the opponents of Republicanism,
then you are warranted in your
condemnation of the phrase
which | uttered nearly ten years
ago; if not, then your quotation
is disingenuous or unjust.
Your allusion to the Senator
ship toga makes it proper that |
should say that | left the same
involuntarily six years ago. L
did not slough my toga, as you
intimate. Inc PopulistS slough
ed it for me, very much against
my inclination. | Intellectually
endeavored to resume it at the
next election, but the people de-
cided otherwise, and am now a
private citizen, without even the
vague and shadowy publicity
that attends a man who is pros
pective candidate for office, for I
realize that my political career
in Kansas is at an end.

and Holland also. The English dress
of the thirteenth and fourteenth CEN
turtles was the most varied, the most
bizarre, ana the most ridiculous. In
the reign of Charles IL the Puritans
kept a watchful and bilious eye upon
every change of fashion. "Waen
courtiers wore monstrous wigs, they
cut their hair short; when they adopt
ed hats with broad plumes, they clap
ped on round black caps, and screw
ed up their pale religious faces; and
when shoe buckles were revived, they
wore strings" So cantankerous is hu-
man nature.
We must not suppose that we have
arrived at the Ultima Thule of dress
yet. Possibly, judging from the trend
of fashion, in course of time things
will we're around and each sex adopt
the costume of the other, the men
wearing petticoats, or kilts-which
would be far more becoming than the
present scanty Jackets and tight trous-
ers-and the women wearing long coats
or blouses, and breeches or Turkish
trousers. A rational dress must be
which gives the largest freedom to the
body, IS healthiest, lightest, most COM
Portable, and best adapted to climate
and season. For picturesqueness, per-
haps the modern native Greek dress
surpasses all others. For purposes of
coquetry, it would seem that conceal
ment is most effective. Tacitus tells
us that the beautiful Poppea exposed
only a part of her face I'll irritate Gu
riosity' and to heighten by imagination
the perfection of the remainder. But
whatever we wear, or however We
dress, that must be most rational
which best suits our comfort and our
circumstances, and whether knicker-
bockers or skirts, is of no lawful con-
Germ to any of the Peeping Toms, Paul
Prys, and lip-pursed Prudes who
howl at any chance of recreation in
which they do not participate. They
who make the loudest cutlery are prob
ably those whose unshapely ankles and
legs will not bear inspection, but as the
race improves in symmetry, and we'll
formed limbs become general, it is like
ly that very short dresses for the wo-
men, and knee breaches, as in the
graceful old times, for the men, will
be the universal fashion.
