Nezt Years RepubIioan sIuah Fund.

II seems to be impossible for the Re-
publican party to run State campaign
in Kansas without the use Of an enor-
nous slush fund. In the past this fund
has been obtained from the railroads,
who, knowing the character OF the men
usually elected by that party, were very
willing to contribute literally because
they did not want to be robbed In the
matter of railroad assessment But the
railroads are exhibiting something of a
disposition to get out Of politics Whether
they really intend to do 80 or are sim
ply pretending Is not matter which
can now be determined. But II the rail-
roads decide to stay out Of next years
fight 1t will not seriously interfere with
the development Of the Republican slush
fund The insurance companies will
gladly contribute literally to help In a
campaign which would result in McNall
being turned down. They want some
one in his place who would conduct the
department as an insurance company's
aid society and who would pay no atten-
ton when people complain that the COM
panies are robbing them or refusing to
pay legitimate losses. They could well
afford to put up 100000 rather than
continue to be hampered in their
work of wringing immense profits from
the people. Then the book trust has
suffered the loss OF thousands of dollars
in income, most of which was profit, by
the passage Of the text book law. It
could afford to put up literally to get
back to the old condition. The various
other companies and trusts which have
suffered the loss Of an abnormal income
through the efforts of Attorney General
Boyle and others in the interest of the
people would gladly contribute well to
fund which would be used to put the af-
fairs Of State in the hands of officers
who would let them alone. There can
be no doubt but that il the railroads do

COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PRESS
ON THE ELECTION IN NEW
YORK CITY.

Daily Telegraph: 1t is great victory
for the most corrupt organization in the
world, and we hesitate to except even
Turkey.
Times: Hitherto New York, however
discreditably its municipal affairs have
been managed, has generally thrown its
weight in national politics on the side of
honest money and freedom of trade, but
1t is not unlikely that Croker will now
go in boldly for an alliance with POpu-
lism, silverism and all the other forms
of socialistic subversive doctrines which
are rlpening rapidly.
Standard: To q disinterested spec

Quoted by the municipal reform party
savors Of sheer lunacy. Had either Cen
eral Tracy or Mr.. Low been unselfish and
patriotic enough to retire, Tammany
might have been defeated.
Daily News: 1t is doubtful now
whether even If Henry George were liv-
ing, the result would have been different
Anyway the consequences are most de-
plOrable. One cannot help, even at dis
tance, admiring the wonderful Tammany
discipline. Croker is worthy successor
OF Tweed.
Globe: Tammany's enormous major
ity leaves no doubt that the rumor of an
arrangement between Croker and the
Republicans was we'll founded. The Cit
izens' Union deserves all sympathy for
It's splendid fight. MR Low gave the Re-
publicans an opportunity they may not
have again.
Pail Mall Gazette: Such an organiza-
ton could not exist In London. A man

priated by ii under the law of eminent

unconstitutional

GOING TO THE DEVILS.
Road About to Be Built to the Seven
Devils Country.

The following item from Sunday
mornings Democrat of Baker City is
of interest to western people generally,
and to ogden people in particular, be-
cause the proposed railroad viii be an
extension of the Sumpter Valley rail-
road, which is owned chiefly by the
Utah e Oregon Lumber company:
Yesterday Messrs. David Eccles.
president; c. W. Nibley, secretary and
treasurer. and Joseph Barton, engineer
of the Sumpter Valley Railroad COM
pany, left this city by private convey
ance to go over the proposed route or
as nearly so as is practicable, by team
via Sparta, Eagle and Billiards. Land
ing on Snake river, thence to Seven
Devils.
1T is the purpose of these promi-
nent railway men to make an examin
alton of the copper deposits in the dis
trict, and study well the feasibility
and practicability of a railroad camp
and on their return to Baker City
something more definite than has yet
been obtained viii be found out re-
garding their plans for the future"
II. n. Spencer was seen last night by
a Herald reporter in regard to the
above clipping, but preferred not to dis
cuss the matter, saying that he knew
considerable about the matter but did
not at this time care TO make it public.
He pointed out on the map the loca-
ton of the Seven Devils copper region,
and showed how Baker City is a logi-
cal starting point for a railroad to tap
the country. Mayor Spencer admitted
that his company was considering the
building of the line, and that Mr..
Eccles' party had gone there for
that purpose. The party returned
to Baker City Sunday, and Mr..
FcrIes iS exrecfed hack TO Ogden about
next Sunday.
Mayor Spencer intimated that if his
company open up the Seven Devils
country it will be more for. the copper
and other mine products than for the
timber.

The same view was expressed by Mr..

ager of the Grand Trunk railway sys-
tenn Both the Great Canadian roads
would suffer from the clause said Mr..
Reeve if it was put into effect and
Canada would have no retaliatory
course He was of the opinion. how
ever, that such an Interpretation as
was indicated in the Washington dis
patches would not be placed upon the
clause. Mr. Reeve added that the COM
petition of the Canadian roads had
done much in the last 80 wears to
cheaper rates from western states to
the Atlantic seaboard and he felt them
deserving much consideration in con-
sequence"

Pacific Railroad company, and DAME

Mr.. Mellen is the second vice presi-
dent of the New York. New Haven

general manager of the Union Pacific
railroad. The office of president of the
| Northern Pacific road was rendered va
cant by the resignation of Mr.. Winters

! dent Mr. Lamont, it has long been
rumored, was to fill some Office in the
COMPANY.
In accepting the resignation of Presi-
dent Winter to take effect Aug. 81. the
board of directors adopted a resolution
expressing its high appreciation of Mr..
! Winters efficient services in behalf OF
/ the company, and its sincere regret at
! his early retirement from its service.
/ Mr. Mellen was then elected direc-
tor and president, his election to take

Mr. Lamont Will enter upon his SER

road service when a boy of IS as a
clerk in the cashiers Office Of the
Northern New Hampshire railroad

was clerk to the chief engineer of the

the Morgan interests in the Northern
Pacific, and is regarded as especially
fitted for the task OF assisting in the
active management of the property.
At the office of J. p. Morgan & Co,
Mr.. Coster, of that firm. said to a repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press that
the change in the presidency was a
decisive indication that the Northern
Pacific VIII continue 10 run as an alb
solutely independent property
Asked whether Mr.. Lamont was to
be considered as particularly the friend
of Mr.. Hill of the Great Northern in
the property, Mr.. Coster replied that
he was not. and that Mr.. Lamont had
been elected vice president on account
OF the high regard for him and respect
for his abilities entertained by the
Northern Pacific directors. Mr.. Coster
added that the friendly relations which
existed between the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern would be con-
tinued and strengthened in every way.
While the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific have some stockholders in
common, all the parties interested in
either company recognized that each
property must be allowed to stand on
its own merits. and none of them wish
to see any other policy followed.

fun, and they seemed to enjoy every
thing from watching the playful pranks
of the cub bears to the more rhythmic
and soulful pastime of dancing in the
magnificent pavilion and rowing on the
lake beneath the twinkling incandes-
cent lights.
a base ball game was played between
a nine from the Second ward and one
from the Third and Fourth wards The
game was holly contested, and resulted
in a score of to in favor of the Third

prearranged plan, the ladies of the
Second ward gave a complimentary
supper to the victorious boys of the
Third and Fourth, leaving the VAN
pushed to seek consolation else
where.
After the base ball game came a pro-
