Reflections Of q Bachelor.

When a man is homesick he is so
ashamed of it he makes himself believe
it is business worry.
Lots of women who are too honorable
to read letters which don't belong to
them would risk their souls to discover
who wrote them.
Nothing makes woman so suSpic-
ious as to have her husband announce
that hereafter he is going to let her
have her way in everything.
+ If women stayed out all night and
came home in cabs just before break
fast they would make much better ex-
cuses and much less trouble than the
men.
Most women would rather be pursued
and fall than not to be pursued at all.
When a woman finds a sentimental
play too long it is either her shoes or
her stays.
No matter how much man likes
different women, SO long as he rever-
ences one he is safe.
One good thing about counting your
eggs before they are Matched is that
the chickens don't come home to roost.
When woman puts on ribbon that
her husband once said he liked and he
doesn't notice it she goes to searching
his pockets for letters.-New York

IN. Mex, wa,iona, Republican Convention.

There has long been growing feel
ing in Republican circles that tho
proper basis for representation in =
national convention of the party should
be the Republican vote cast in eacl
congressional district at thei Fedora
This matter was quite generally dis
cussed at the ST. Louis convention and
it was evident that there was a very
strong sentiment for such a method OF
upportionment in those states to which
the Republican party must look for
electoral votes. Under present cond-
tions group Of far Southern states
which never count for. Republican sue
cess exercise d larger influence upon
convention deliberations than many of
those whose steadfast adherence to
Republican principles constitutes in
every election the backbone of
progress.
Foremost in urging the necessity of
new basis of representation is Senator
elect Scott of West Virginia, and he is
outspoken in the conviction that the
proposed change would prove de-
cided element of strength in stimulat-
ing Republican endeavor throughout
the country. -.
1t is not proposed that congress
sional district must be represented in
the House by a Republican in order
that the district might have two dele
gates at the convention, but it is felt
that the Republican party of a district
should give some tangible proof of its
existence before its representatives are
permitted to help name the candidates
whom the Republican party in the
North. East and West will have to
elect. The Republican party in the
three states of South Carolina, Louisi-
ana and Mississippi in 1876 cast 100000
votes In 1898 the combined Republi-
can vote of those states was 12,0O0
Yet these three states are permitted to
send SO delegates to the national con-
vention.
The delegates from these states are
largely negroes, many of whom are FAR
from being in harmony with the broad
spirit and purpose of Republican
principles. There is a growing feeling
that the next national convention,
which bids fair to be free from con-
tests, would be an excellent time to in
augurate this change in the basis of
representation.
There are many things to Indicate
that it is a reform that is sure to come
and in the quite general opinion OF
the leaders in those states which must
be looked to for Republican electoral
votes, the sooner the better.

| The fact that the British government
has employed an American factory to
| build military bridge in Central
| Africa is significant of a tremendous
revolution in industrial affairs. AS the
story is told. General Kitchener found
it necessary to have a bridge built
across the Atbara river in time for his
fall campaign against the Mahdists
The war Office tried to place the order
at home. and found no plant willing to
promise the bridge in less than year
Then it made inquiry in this country
and the Pcncoyd Iron Works under
took to complete the structure in seven
weeks The order was given promptly
and in five weeks the bridge was ship
| ped, to be followed by construction
corps in time to meet the material on
| the ground and put it up. There may
be many theories of tariff protection
a crowd of other orders, or what not
to account for this remarkable episode
| but the fact remains that the British
government had to come to the United
States with an order which all the iron
works in the United Kingdom could
not fill in a reasonable time. and had
the work completed in less than one
tenth the time they demanded. This is
| a fact that will impress not only gov
ernments, but private capitalists and

The American Locomotive.

The announcement that the Russian
government has made contract with
an American locomotive works for 50
locomotives for the Trans siberian
Railroad, together with the report that
the Chinese government has decided
that the railway concession granted to
an American syndicate is the most inn
portant railway enterprise in China
possible. is an event that presages the
greatest period of railway development
| in the worlds history. 1t is also signi-
ficant of the fact that American capi-
| tai and industry are to be most import
ant factors in that development.
The same firm which VIII supply
loo omotives for the Russian railway
has closed contracts for 20 locomotives
for Sweden, 10 for France, II for Egypt
and 10 for the Midland Railway of
England. If American factories are to
build locomotives for English railways
| there is no reason why they should not
have hand in opening to commerce.
AMI civilization the dark continent.
Probably the most colossal railway
project now on foot is that of Cecil
Rhodes, which has just been perfected
and which provides for the building of
a railway along the backbone of Africa.
Tie proposed route is from Vryburg in
South Bechuanaland north to Bula-
wayo. across Zambesi near the 3lst de-
gree of longitude, thence through the
valley of the Nile to the navigable he ad
waters, whence steamers will complete
the connection with the Egyptian caEi-
tai. The extremes of the transcontinen-
tai line have already been established,
there being a railway from Nryburg
to Bulawayo and a steamboat line from
Cairo to points some distance mp the
liver.
1t is only necessary to slanee at
map of the dark continent to realize
the magnitude of this enterprise and to
form some conception of its vast loSsi
bilities as civilizing factor. Its moral,
educational and commercial advan-
tages are almost incalculable. 1t will
not only open a cheap route to the
mines in the south. but will no doubt
suppress the slave trade.
The industrial development "f our
new territorial possessions also opens
up promising field for railway build
ing. The American locomotive will fc:-
low the flag. 1t must blaze the way
for the opening of mines and must give
us the riches of Cuban forests. But it
is also following the flags of other ma
tions even into their colonial dopen-
denotes. 1t is destined to open the dark
regions of other continents to CON-
merCe and civilization.
