A Great Engineering Feat.

December 18th the engineers
of the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway accomplished the wonder
full engineering test of moving ITS
22O-ton bridge crossing the Kin
nickinnic river at Milwaukee, on
its Chicago division, down stream
$50 feet. This is feat that has
been undertaken but a very few
times in the history of engineer
ing.
The bridge was a single-track
draw, and was removed to a new
foundation in the quick time OF
two hours aud fOrty-seven min.
utes. The structure was tiOated
on two seOws, one on either side
of the center, which were sunk
with 10000 gallons of water
With the scows in proper position
the water was pumped out and the
bridge gradually lifted from III
foundation and towed to its new
resting place by two tugs.
The bridge was in perfect con-
dition and was removed only L
make way for a double-tracl
structure of the latest pattern.

There is undoubtedly some foundation
for the complaint that Portland is not
so influential in the legislature, as it
ought to be, and there is some truth in
the assertion that this is due in part at
least to its failure to send there its repre-
sentative citizens. But this failure is
not SO much its fault as its misfor-
tune. Portland would be glad to send
representative men if they would 90.
But as a rule they will not. When they
are asked they all begin to make excuses.
They cannot afford to spend the winter
at Augusta away from their private bust
ness, is the most common of these ex-
cuses. 1t undoubtedly does require o good
deal of sacrifice for busy business man
to spend two or three months at Augusta
looking after the interests of the city.
But until this class of men are willing to
make sacrifices the representation of the
city will occasionally fall into the hands of
the incompetent, or the not conspicuous
ly competent, and the city suffer in con-
sequence. 1t is the unwillingness of msn
who are conspicuously fit to render

eli other things combined to weaken
our State and municipal governments.
We have got plenty of a certain kind of
patriotism in this country. There is no
lack of men, and good men. to come for
ward when an emergency calls for mill
tary service. Good men in plenty will
shed their blood for their country on the
battlefield. While we have no disposition
to underrate the quality of the patriotism
that makes man ready to die for his
country if need be- we do say that
the patriotism that impels man to make
daily sacrifices of his personal comfort
and personal interests for the good of
his fellow citizens is rarer and can accom-
plish more for the country in the aggre-
gate 1t ought to be just as disgraceful
for man who is asked by his fellow
citizens TO serve them in some public ca
pacity because of his conspicuous dtnes s
to decline because it involves some per.
sonal loss or Inconvenience, as for the
able bodied citizen when needed to shirk
service in the army on a similar plea.

The Civic Federation of Chicago has
called conference to discuss the foreign
policy of the country, evidently with ref
ersnoe to the final disposition Of the ter
ritory conquered from Spain. The ques-
ton is an important one, and before it is
settled ought to be discussed in all its
bearings Yet it is difficult to discuss it
intelligently now, because il is practical.

tons with which it will be surrounded

CARDS Cuba we are under specific pledge
not to hold it permanently, but we are
under another pledge, if not so direct at
least as binding. to see that it has good
government. 1t is by no means the most
improbable thing in the world that in
order to keep either one of these pledges
we shall have to break the other. We may
find that Cuba is incapable Of self gov
ernment, and that to keep it out of the
condition to free it from which was our
reason for going to war, we shall have
to govern it ourselves. Indeed it is al
ready limited that we shall have to hold
Cuba several years at least to prepare it
for self government. It would seem to

The Hon. e. K.O 'Brien of Thomaston is
getting the support of many newspapers
and many prominent citizens in various
parts of the State for his aspiration to
become q member of the Board of Rail
road Commissioners. But this is an office
in which that Kind of support does not
count for much. The people that Mr..
O'Brien wants to see are the railroad
