FAST TRAINS ARE SAFEST.

Attention Is Given to Them.
George lithclbcrt Walsh contributes an
article on 'Running tho Fast Express to
st. Nicholas. Mr. Walsh says:
When the Empire State express or tho
Congressional limited rushcs across the
country ut the rate of 40 miles an hour,
making mile posts and trees skip by in
fantastic disorder, tho mind of many Il
passenger is troubled by question that
continually arises ut every sharp sway or
jolt of the cars, rs there not danger in
such rapid travcling?'
In his seat forward the engineer would
reply grimly to this question with mega
tive shake of the head, and the general SUI
pcrintcndcnt of the road or the train dis
patchcr in his Office ut headquarters would
second this answer with IL moro emphatic
No"
But why? According to all the mathc-
NAUTICAL rules wo learned ut school and
college, the faster II moving body swings
along II certain course, the more difficult
it is to swcrvc it from its path. and tho
more terrible is the collision if it should
strike an obstacle.
Why, then, is not rapid running moro
dangerous than slow? " Because the ell
gincS used for this service are larger bet
ter equipped and better cared for than any
others, " the engineer would reply. "Thcy
are provided with every modern device to
prevent accident, and. though they fairly
fly along the track, they are never beyond
our immediate control. And, then, we're
more wide awake and alert for danger"
The danger is less for the reason that
everybody along tho line is looking ont
for the rapid ilcrs, would say the train
dispatcher They have the right OF way,
and we always clear the tracks for the cx-
presses. They are special iavoritcs, and
we give extra careful attention to them"

A NEW WOMAN.

She's up to date and strictly now,
And yet she's not afame with zeal
She wears no skirt that's scwcd in two,
She is not skilled TO ride Il wheel.
Her seX's wrongs she docs not feel.
No public scheme her thoughts pursue,
And yet, the fact can't conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Vet not by man Is she controlled,
And, though her eyes are deeply blue
No occult force her glanccs hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Nor does the future charm her view.
She does not work for fame or gold,
And yet she's new.
All homage ut her shrine is due
Her claim no mortal darcs to scorn.
She from the infinite takes her cue.
She's fresh as carth's primcval morn.
She faces life with powers unworn,
For, now to prove my statements true,
It's scarce one moon since she was born
You see, she's newt

WASHINGTON LETTER.
fspE4 At OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE MONITOR
Washinqton. Dec. 18Th, 1897.


Democratic opposition to the annexa-
ton of Hawaii, which has become so pro-
nounced since the reassembling of Con-
gress, is fully explained by story that is
being told among the knowing ones in
Washington. According to this story, the
democratic party has been sold by its lead
ers in Congress to the sugar trust, which
all the world knows is willing to spend an
enormous amount of money to prevent the
annexation of Hawaii. The sugar trust
has agreed to furnish a corruption fUed
which the democratic leaders believe to be
large enough to enable them to elect
democrotic majority of the House next
year. and a democratic President in 1900,
if the democratic leaders can succeed in
preventing the annexation of Hawaii,
either through the ratification of the
treaty or by direct legislation. That is
why the democratic Senators, with two
exceptions, all working against the
ratification of the treaty, and why the
democrats of the House will this week, in
caucus declare against annexation. But
this disgracefuI deal cannot be carried out,
because the democrats cannot prevent the
annexation of Hawaii.
Chairman Dingley's emphatic statement
in the House about the prospective rev.
enues and expenditures of the government
disposed of the whole batch of misrepre-
senattions as to republicans seriously con-
sidering legislation to furnish additional
revenue. Of course, everybody in Wash
ington knew that these stories were pure
ly imaginary and that the only object in
circulating them was to discredit the adj
ministration and the republican party.
Mr.. Dingley did not simply make the as
sertion that the revenues of the govern
ment would exceed its expenditures by at
least $40, 600, 900 during the next fiscal year,
but backed his assertions with figures
which had the unqualified endorsement Of
President Mckinley and Secretary Gage.
No legislation providing more revenue Els
contemplated by the republicans in con-
gress, for the simple reason that none is
needed; the Dingley law is steadily in
creasing the revenue and will provide all
the money necessary to economically adj
minister the government.
The fact that Y republican members of
the House participated in a conference
called after they had each signed paper
stating that the conference should con-
sist ''Of such republican members as favor
the modification of the civil service law, or
a more honest enforcement of its pro-
visions, or more certain definition of the
extent of its application" convinced even

The State Grange, as will be noted
elsewhere, has declared against the
double taxation of mortgaged real es-
tate, and appointed committee to
draft bill to present to the next leg
islature. The grange recommends as
remedy the privilege of Offset for
debts against real estate and a tax of
one and one half per cent on the
holders Of mortgages. We are sorry
the grange went on record as to the
specific remedy, for the opponents of
repeal will have no trouble in showing
the weakness of this position, though
it would, if adopted, probably have a
more benefcient effect on the whole
than the present law. If the grange
had contented itself with condemming
double taxation of ell kinds and de-
handing thorough investigation by a
commission, preliminary to the adop-
ton of something better, it would have
taken perfectly defensible stand and
one that would have carried weight
Let us get rid of double taxation, but
let us be sure we are getting some

EACH WEEKS EVENTS.

Events move SO rapidly nowadays,
so many things of interest come up
every "a hours, that the busy man
misses a good many of them, fails to
hear of them, or, in the hurry of his
affairs, overlooks the reports of a
large number which his daily paper
chronicles. Every once in a while he
sits back and wants to know as quick
ly as may be what has happened of
Importance since he last had a chance
to pause. 1t is because of these con-
ditions that the weekly newsp per,
the good weekly newspaper, keeps so
strong hold upon the people in
general.
Conspicuous among those papers
which merit the adjective ttgood" is
the weekly edition of the Boston loaCr-
nal. The news of the world is there,
record of the important events that
have come to pass within the previ-
Gus seven days, carefully edited,
skillfully arranged, so that none of
the readers time need be wasted in
looking for what attracts him. He
has before him each week the sum-
mary of the worlds history for that
time, and no one need feel that he is
behind the times when he reads the
weekly Boston Journal. Stanch in it's
adherence to Republican principles,
and strong in their exposition, it
holds firmly it's place in the hearts of
the people all over the New England
States.
