The Cup Remains Here.

The cup stays in America, this year.
Thursday, the Columbia won the last
and finest race of the series, beating her
rival by minutes, SO seconds, corrected
time, and leaving her two thirds of a
mile in the rear. Not only was Colum-
bias victory decisive one but it was
won under the conditions longed for
by the Shamrock people, good stiff ID
to 20 knot breeze.
The superiority of the Yankee boat
was demonstrated even to Sir Thomas
Lipton's satisfaction aud the triumph of
the Columbia is complete. Either in
light, fluky bretzas or in gale of wind
the Shamrock has proved to be no match
for her. The best boat has won the race
and successfully defended the cup, a
result in which all Americans will pa
triotically rtioice. Uncle Sam still holds
supremacy in craftsmanship and the
prospect of wrestling it from him seems
as far off as ever.
No man could he more deserving of
victory than Sir Thomas; British skill
and ingenuity were represented to the
limit in the Shamrock. while her crew
was the cream of British seamanship.
All of which makes greater the glory of
American supremacy, in the achievement
of which Names unrivalled seamen
played such an important part.

Some one has termed the railroads
the circulatory systen of our country.
The smile is an apt one. An examina-
ton of what eur railroads are doing
Is placing the fiaeer on the pulse of IL
dustrial life. To-day, the health and
bounding activity of that life is nowhere
better shown. than on the railroads of
the West. In All departments, railroad
men are busy. Construction and in
creased equipment ,are trying to keep
paee with the ever increasing aflic.
The year has already been an eXtraor-
binary one in the history of railroad
construction. yet the work of building
new feeders. and increasing the etficien-
cy of the old trunk lines continues. 1t
new trains are being added on many of
the prominent passenger routes in
recognition of the demands Of the travel
ling pubic. The Yellowstone National
Park, has had its beat season of patron
age, and other pleasure resorts have
been equally favored. The freight bus
mess, however, aff rds the truer index
Of our Industrial health, for as Presi-
dent Ada ms of he University of Mich
igan, recently said, 1.-THE business of
transportation underies all other bust
ness The actual condition of affairs
today, is shown by the demand for cars.
Many roads have already materially
increased their freight ear equipment,
and have their shops turning out cars
as fast MS possible, yet the demand for
cars is far Crater than the supply
This year famine,n is the only satisffc-
ton that the "csl,mitY ho~ler' can
get, 10 this year of plenty. The coal
miners are calling for more cars, the
mill-men cannot get enough cars on
which to load their lumber. and the
farmers are begging for cars in which
to ship their wheat to market, while
the cornfields, that extend across Who'll"
states in almost continuous belts, give
promise of an even louder cry for cars.
The stockyards are congested with cat
tie and sheep awaiting shipment, not
withstanding the fact that more stock
will be fed on the ranches this winter,
than for several years past.

Clara Barton on Woman
Suffrage.

A letter from Clara Barton has re-
Gently been given To the press, which
may be of interest to macy, as coming
from one who has devoted her life to the
service of her country, which in turn,
refuses her any voice in choosing those
who are TO rule over its destinies. She
writes:
II believe must have been born be-
lieving in the full right OF women To all
the privileges and positions which nature
and justice accord to her in common
with other human beings. Perfectly
equal rights-human rights. There WAS
never any question in my mind in regard
To this. | did not purchase my freedom
with price; was born free; and when,
as younger woman, | heard the sub
iect discussed, it seemed simply ridieu-
lous that any sensible, sane person
should question II. Aud when, later,
the phase of Womau's right to suffrage
came up, il was TO me only a part of the
whole, just as right, and just as certain
to take place. And whenever have
been urged, as a petitioner, to ask for
this privilege for woman, a kind OF
dazed, bewildered feeling has come
over me.
OF whom should ask this privilege
Who possessed the right To confer il =!
Who had greater right than woman her
sell? Was it man. and II so, where did
he get il? Who conferred il upon him
He depended upon woman for his being,
his very existence, nurture and rearing
More fitting that she should have con
ferred it upon him.
"Was it governments? What were
they but The voice OF he people? What
gave them their power? Was il divinelA
conferred? Alas, no; or thew would
have been better, purer. more just and
stable.
"Was it force of arms-war? Who
furnished the warriors? Who but thu
mothers? vi no reared their sons and
taught them that liberty and their coun
try were worth their blood? Who gave
them up. wept their fall. nursed then
in suffering and monrned them dead?
WAS it labor? Women have always
as n rule. worked harder than men.
WAS it capital? Woman has furnish
ed her share UP to the present hour
Nho then, can give the right, and OF
what basis? Who can withhold il?
There is, once in while a monarch
who denies the right of man TO place :
crown upon his head. Only the greal
Jehovah can. crown and annuint him fDl
his work, and he reaches out, takes the
crown, and places it upon his head will
his own hand. | suspect that this is il
effect what woman is doing today. Viz
| tually there is no one to give her tht
right to govern herself. as men govern
themselves by self made and self.approv-
ed laws of the land. But in one way ~
another, sooner or later, she is coming
To il. And The number of thoughtful
and right minded men who will opposr
will he much smaller than we think
and when it is really an accomplished
fact, All will wonder. as | have done
What the objection ever was"
