beheld gold on every hand, and when
they saw the country covered with
golden colOred flowers they imagined
they, too. must be pure gold-not the
only case where appearances have been
deceitful. But by perverse contradic-
tion of this story the Spaniards them
selves adopt the flower as a symbol OF
faith, and one of their poets says:
Real faith is like the suns fair flow

The Chicago Great Western Railway
Is ballasting its roadbed between Mar

OF a mile per day. The same is being
done between Des MoineS and st. Jo-
seph. Mo. The gravel used is taken
from pit near Berwick. Iowa. All the
dirt between the ties is removed and
carried to one side of the right OF way.
The gravel train then goes over this
twice. putting on two coats, as 1t is
called. of gravel. BY the aid of jacks
the track is now raised about five
inches Two more coats Of gravel are
spread over it by the gravel train. The
raising and leveling of the track to
the required height and putting on OF
the smoothing" coat of gravel COM
pletes the job. The gravel cars OF the
Great Western are a great improve
ment over the old style yet in use on
many roads. They were ordinary fiat
cars built low. The train would be
run in where the gravel was wanted
and the engine uncoupled and attached
by means of a cable to a huge scraper
on the cars which threw the gravel to
either side of the track, and the gravel
would then be put in place by hand
The Great Western uses patent gravel
cars with V-shaped hopper which can
be opened at the bottom and the grave
dumped in the center of the track.

we have lots of sympathy with her

dered by her decided sympathy
with US is both commendable and
advantageous. But it will he lust
as well to remember that the

has much bigger interests on this
American continent than in China
and it is probable that we can
keep exceedingly busy attending
to our own affairs without mixing

Beacon on School Moneys.

State Treasurer James ;. Beacon is in
an ugly humor over the reported utter
ances of Senator Kaufman and other
stump speakers charging the treasury de-
partment with Withholding public school
funds. Mr. Beacon authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
"If Senator Kaufman made snch a
statement he wilfully and maliciously
lied. say now positively that in no sim
gle case has an officer of a school board
made il known 10 either the school de-
partment or the treasury department that
money was needed in his district for
school purposes that the money has not
been promptly paid either 10 whole or in
part The school appropriation, amount
ing to S, ,5O0.000. falls due in June, and is
Intended for the use Of the schools not
for June. but for the school year. In June
there is generally a balance of three or
four millions in the treasury, and it does
not require much of a mathematician to
see that seven millions can not be paid at
once with three or four millions, nor does
the law intend that it shall be paid at
once.
"No matter who is Governor, l will
run that department according to my
own notions Of the law and my duty TO
the people at large. and / court the full
est investigation from every lying hypo-
crite who is travelling the State attempt
ing To deceive the people into the belief
that there is single irregnlarity."

"When YOU see the complete returns
Just notice the spendid vote given Hon.
w. III. KoontZ, whom the Herald
has been vilifying for years.
The above item is taken from last
weeks issue Of the ''fakeu organ of this
town, of which Hon. w. H. Koontz is
one of the reputed owners. When it
accuses the HERALD Of vilifying Mr..
Koontz it is not happy in its choice of
language. Webster says 'to vilify is
to make vile; 70 debase; to degrade. "
But, waving all this, as well as the
spirit that could animate person i'm
mediately after his election to make an
uutruthfdI and uncalled for attack on
persons who contributed their support
10 procure that election, we suggest
that a careful examination of the re-
turns will reveal this fact: Hon. w. II.
Koonfz received the votes not only OF
the HERALD's editors but of every Stall
wart Republican in Somerset county.
The HERALD and its Stalwart constit-
uency make their fight at the prima-
ries, and always support the successful
candidates at the general election.
Hence "the splendid vote given Hon.
w. III. Koontz.n Had the HERALD
pursued the same course that the fake
organ and It's owners have almost in
variably pursued, opposing regular Re
publican nominees at the general cleo
ton who were not of their liking, the
"vote given Hon. w. H. KOontz" would
not be so splendid" See?

Verdict Of the Nation.

Philadelphia Times
The verdict Of the Nation is uninistaka-
bic and points very strongly TO the cleo
ton of Republican President in 1900. It
means that the present sound financial
policy of this Government must not only
be maintained, but that those who are
distrusted on the issue can not be given
power. II means that our economic pol
icy shall not be changed that liberalized
protection for our industries can not be
disturbed; that enlarged commerce and
trade with other countries shall be inau-
gurated by the expansion Of our territory.
and that Republican Congress shall be
charged with the duty Of aiding Repub-
lican President TO gather the full fruits OF
our recent war with Spain.
Such is the verdict of the Nation as
given on Tuesday. When every State
north of Mason and Dixon's line from the
AroostOok mountains of Maine to the
prairies of the west washed by the Father
Of Waters, fail to record a single Demo
cratic victory, it means that the great
industrial, commercial and financial in
terests of the Nation are in hearty sym
pathy with the present National Admin
istration. This verdict given with EN-
phasis under all the adverse circumstan-
ces Of mid administration campaign,
must be accepted as deliberate and final
Judgment on every issue involved.

IT WAS glorious victory. The Re
publicans have gained control of the
Senate, and they retain the House of
Representatives Their lead in the SEN
ate will not be as large as il ought 10 be,
but it viii be lead. Beginning with
March 4, 1893, the Republicans will
have clear majority in the Senate
over all the elements Of the opposition.
Not since March 4, 1s93- have the Re
publicsns been dominant in that body.
At present it is tie between the Re
pubIicans and the various elements
who champion debased currency. This
condition will end four months hence.
That branch of Congress which has
been in the hands of the unsOund mon
ey forces during three fourths of the
time since greenbackism first became
an issue in national politics quarter Of
a century ago will, after March next,
be safely i'm the control of the honest
money forces. The victory on the
House Of Representatives is particu-
larly gratifying. 1t was gained in the
face Of the most virulent and persistent
Misrepresentation on the part of the
Democratic party which has been
known in any canvass in the past
quarter of a century. In spite Of the
fact that the Republican party proseeu-
ted the war against Spain with rare
| Judgment and success it has been at
tackled by the Democrats with men,
dacity and malevolence which, hap
PLY, is seldom seen even in the most
closely contested and exciting cam
paigus. The Republicans lost few
seats, as every Republican paper con-
ceded they would. 1t is impossible to
overcome overconfidence and indifier-
enee. Still, the majority IS sufficiently
large to assure the people that the Gov
ernment's affairs will be wisely man.

Diphthsria Patient. Saved.

NEW YORK, Nov. u.--Dr. A. S. Amber,
who is in charge of the Contagious Dis
eases Hospital on Kingston avenue, says
that he has been very successful with the
diphtheria treatment, discovered by an
Iowa physician. The twenty five known
cases of diphtheria, DR.. Amber states,
were submitted to the new remedy, and
twenty-fOur Of the patients recovered.
The ages Of the patients varied from
three to forty years, though in majority
Of the cases the patients were children
between three and seven years. The
patient who died was six years old.
The remedy, DIR. Amber says. is chlo-
rine gas, deprived of sufTocating, cans
tic and irritating properties. The solu-
ton is as follows: Zinc chloride, 2Oparts
arsenic chloride. 30 parts; hydrochloride
acid, pure, ! part. and water, 40 parts.
The two liquids are put into the inhaler
in the proportions of five to one, and wien
the liquids combine the chlorine is given
OFF and used in the inhaler.
