position scheme" has to be wrought
out for every line, and when there are
several wires the scheme is highly
elaborate affair. Likes the man who
fastens the wires to the insulators, the
one who transposes them spends much
of his time shining up and down
poles. He must have great expert
ness, but his knowledge of electricity
need not be great, no matter how COM
plicated the transposition scheme, for
it is made ready in advance and he has
only to follow instructions. He is the
last man to pass over the line. When
he has finished the wires are as nearly
ready to talk as. the overhead construc-
ton party can make them.
Commissary and Material.
So much for the actual construction
work between towns. The comnissary
and material departments are quite as
important, for the men must be housed
and fed in their hustling progress
across the country, and their materials
must always be at hand.
The method of conducting the COM
missary department varies according
to the nature of the territory rassed
through. In thickly settled regioi5H the
men eat and sleep at hotels, farm
houses and boarding houses along the
route, hotels being preferred. The adj
vent of gang of eighty men creates
no end of excitement in each neigh
borhood. and, of course, their accomno-
dation fills all the spare bedrooms and
the extra places at every table. Every
construction gang is preceded by one
or more men hunting for boarding
places, and these men are also charged
with arrangements for the transporta-
ton of the force to and from work
mornings and nights. From seven to
eight miles is, about as far as they
can be taken, economically, and there
is, therefore. an average distance of
about fifteen miles between headquar-
tiers. ~
When, the country is thinly settled,

IT WILL NOT WORK.
Standard

Having placed themselves in an unen-
Vlable hight before the country in trying
to defend Atkinson, OF the anti-Imperiai-
lstic League, in his efforts to distribute
sedltious and reasonable literature
among the soldiers in the Philippines,
the democratic press are endeavoring to
recover lost ground by now insisting
that the whole business was nothing but
a joke. They tell us that Atkinson, in
a spirit of hilarity, put UP a practical
joke on the administration and-he, he,
no, no, ha. ha-made it work. He got
himself threatened with an extra fine job
lot of dire affections for trying to misuse
the mails, and then he let the cat out of
the bag. This caused a hasty meeting
OF the cabinet to suppress the joke. and
keep the people from poking fun at the
United States government, but it finally
leaked out, and Atkinson will probably
take the lecture field as the star humorist
of the age.
But the joke-ah, we had forgotten to
mention it-consisted of printing a sedi-
tious and reasonably worded cover for
q harmless pamphlet, and then getting
it officially suppressed before the joke
was discovered, you know. Wasn't it
funny? But somehow the joke can't
stand alone, ave as a happy after
thought to pull the sad-eyed defenders
of Atkinson out of the hole. It is so
hard for the ordinary layman, who is
seldom a postmaster in the art of hui
NOR, to see Just where the fun comes in
and to know exactly where to laugh.
Our democratic friends must be &C
credited with considerable ingenuity,
however, in discovering at this late date
that it was all a joke. But in fixing vi
the joke business, to help themselves out
of a bad mess, do they not overlook the
fact that before, this happy idea occurred
to them they defended Atkinson's right
to mail seditious literature to Manila
quite as vigorously as the republicans
condemned it? Even if the matter were
a joke, which it is not. it would not alter
the principle involved, and Upon which

THE TRIUMPH UF M

The announcement hat Mark Twain
was entertained by Emperor Francis
Joseph yesterday shows that the world
has entered Upon an era of social APP
probation of humor. Mr.. Clemens claim
to the social distinction accorded him by
the throne of Austria rests wholly on the
fact that he acquired a reputation as a
writer of humorous books. Heretofore,
humor has been looked upon as incon-
sistent with dignity. While great mill
tary heroes, great artists, great sculp-
tors. and great lights in the heavy fields
of literature, have been given audiences
by the ruling potentates Of the world,
the funny man could enter the presence
Of royalty only in the capacity of the
kings fool.
But the world is progressing. President
Abraham Lincoln often enjoyed the COM
pany of the veteran circus clown, old
Dan Rice, not because the Snowman was
a humorist of a certain type, but because
he was a personal friend and his business
was not charged up against him. 1t re-
mains, however, for the staid and quiet
Francis Joseph to set the example be-

WHAT MERRITT SAID.

The amende honorable belongs to a
language that is seldom used in the col
umns of the democratic press. They de-
light in rolling over a m~isquotation, from
a public source, but never huniiliate
themselves with it's correction. Not long
since Major General Wesley Merritt was
lampooned and hauled over the Goals at
a lively rate for having said in an after
dinner speech that General Alger was

cratic contemporaries an opportunity to
wiring in a few additional chestnuts on
the embalmed beef question, after that
incipient issue fell to pieces of it's own
weight. It t%ranspires, however, that
Genera Merritt did not make the remark
attributed to him.. He spoke highly of
the secretary of war, as he was justified
in doing, but resorted to no fulsome fiat
terry. The following, which has not as
yet overtaken the misquotation in the
columns of the democratic press, was
what General Merritt actually said, as
reported by the Detroit Free Press:
During the administration OF the civil
war, no secretary was more outraged
than Secretary Stanton, and he came out
in triumph. We ave another secretary
Of war, who a made fewer mistakes

REMARKABLE TRIP.

| Inc steamer GaspeSia, which was the
first to attempt to reach London by the
new route via the Gulf of St. Lawrence
and Milford Haven, Wales, had three
months of such experience as happily
but seldom falls to the lot of an ocean
liner. The dream of a certain group of
capitalists is over, for although the dis
lance IS appreciably less by the way pro-
posed, the fate of the ship which came
limplng back into port ten weeks after
every one had given her up, will cast a.
damper upon all future efforts. The
Gaspssia left Milford Haven on January
IL; she made the south coast of New
foundland on the 10Th, and entered the
gulf on the goth. She should have reached
Paspebiac in one day. The trip actually
took SIX. 1t was February Z when she
started out, with her return cargo and
three passengers. in the very worst
weather of an unusually bitter winter.
She was caught by the ice foes and held
helpless. Keen winds ragged about her
and the rigging, froze. The fires were put
out to husband coal, and every one on
board suffered from cold. Her is sail
ors were clothed only for an ordinary
winter passage in the North Atlantic.
They did not know when they would be
released or whether they might not be
driven from a ship crushed like an egg
shell, to wander over the shifting foe to
their death.
There are $4,000 square miles of the
Gulf of st. Lawrence. The Gaspesia saw
a good deal of drifting to and fro with
the WING and current. Deliverance came
when the famous sealing steamer Kite
slgnaled the Gaspesia and went to her
assistance. The Kite likes ice; she was
punt to resist it. and carries dynamite to
blast her way through it. BY several
days hard work her crew opened a way
for the Gaspesia, and she reached st,
Johns nearly three months out.
She was almost a wreck, and the crew
and passengers were quite exhausted. It
may be shorter by the new route, but the
n are that ordinary travellers will
prefer the old, although Nansen might
enjoy the trip as practice.

to humor. Hereafter, the joke maker
who attains fame will stand on a social

other honorable vocations in life. His

of men-as a literary surgeon who

legitimate place in the roster of the bene-

AS one of the pioneers of legitimate
American humor, Mr.. Clemens Will leave
a priceless legacy to his successors in the
field of funny philosophy and fertile wit.
Through him has been attained a social
position for humorists equal to that &C.
corded the past-masters of poesy and
art. No man need again enter the un-
propitious arbor whose budding vines
must blossom into fun. feeling that
somehow his social dignity has gone to
that bourne from whence a wholesome.
