The New Railroad.

On the sth day of August, 1899 the
tracks of the Allegheny and Western n.
r. were connected at point about Soo
feet west of the Allegheny river, near
Mosgrove by J. NJ Floesch, Chief En-
pineer of the A. & w driving Silver

Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg r. X.
(and its entire SYSTEM driving a gold
spike.
This makes complete through line
from Rochester and Buffalo, n. I. 10
Pittsburg. In few days there Will be
four through trains running from
Rochester and Buffalo to Pittsburg,
making the run in several hours less
time than by any other route:
This road has constructed a good,
6rst class and substantial road-bed; and
eouipped it with 100-pound steel rails;
which will enable the company TO safe-
Iy make fast runs These four through
trains will be made up entirely OF
brand new locomotives and Drand-new
Pullman and palace cars. OF the latest
improved style. In addition 10 the
through trains local trains will be run.
This is an important road for Butler
county and the town of Butler, as IL
places us on through trunk line from
Rochester and Buffalo land by Its traI-
fic ARRANGEMENTS New York and all
points east to Pittsburg, and as soon
as what is known as the "cut-oH on
the line Of the p. IL w. X. X. from
Reibold to EideDau, now being CON
structed to shorten the distance west
is completed will place us on trunk
line via New Castle and Akron 10
Chicago.
This road opens up and puts our
comfy in touch with the east, north
and west, and by its connections gives
us another direct line to the lakes.
This ia a valuable road to TIE county
and to the town of Butler, as its faclll-
ties for hauling freight should be a
great inducement to manufacturers to
locate in Butler. This road has been
constructed through our county quiet
Iy decently and, we belieye, on strictly

No Time for Talking.

After brushing away %preiudices and
examining the whole question Of retain
ing or abandoning the Philippine Is
lands it must be admitted that it is not
a partisan question. Every American
is proud of Dewey's victory in Manila
bay, and every American, including w.
j.. Bryan, who Endorsed 1t publicly, was
glad when the treaty Of Spain was final
ly signed as the result of the most glo-
rious war the United States ever fought.
w. j. Bryan in the presidents chair
to-day would have sense enough not to
repudiate the treaty that he favored;
Grover Cleveland ever might not think
OF handing the Philippines back to
Spain or giving them to the Tagals.
The cry against expansion is a cry
against an accomplished fact, ccom
plished by the treaty ceding the Philip
pine islands, to the passage of which

The Colorado Middle.

Colorado's state administration has
fixed up a scheme to cure the shortcom-
ings of the assessment law by having
the state board of equalization increase
the assessments on property by SO, 0O0,-
900, so that funds enough to carry on
the government and provide for the ap-
preparations made by the fusion legis-
lature can be raised by the tax collect
ors. 1t is estimated that about $500, 900
can be collected under this plan. The
experience of Colorado with a fusion
legislature and governor does not ap-
pear to have been a happy one, but
there is no one party upon which the
people can fix the responsibility of
hodge-podge legislation. The Democrats
are proposing to shake their former al
lies in the local campaigns this year,
and the Rocky Mountain News, which
has been the leader in the political va
riations to which the state has been
subject in the past few years, appears
to have decided to go in for the organi-
cation of a straight Democratic party.

w. ]. Bryan. the acknowledged leader
| of the Democrats, loaned his influence:
a treaty which cannot ait this day be
| repudiated.
Admitting this, what remains to make
a party issue of expansion? No policy
ment or for the final disposition of
those islands. No matter what policy
the American people adopt toward the
Philippines, it cannot be enforced while
Ii, 600 Tagals with guns in their hands
defy the United States. If w. ]. Bryan
We're in the presidents chair to-day he
would not recall the army, for he HIM
self has said so, and the American peo-
pie, Republicans as we'll as Democrats,
would not allow it. All Americans, eX-
cept the few that on principle are OPP
posed to any war, believe in crushing
the rebellion in the Philippines. All di-
vision at this time over the Philippine
problem is, therefore, un-American,
and assists in delaying the final victory
of American arms over Aguinaldo and
his followers. After peace has been re-
stored then is the time to discuss a
Philippine policy, and the wisest of po-
litical prophets are unable to tell at this
time how the two great parties will ar
ray themselves upon hat question, or
whether it will be made a party ques-
ton at all,

AquinaIdo's American BuuIers.

EX-President Cleveland and Il couple
of ex-cabinet officers, one of the days of
long ago. the other of the Cleveland
age, Boutwell, and Morton, are a trio
of political has beens who think the up
to-date A~mericanism shown by Presi-
dent Mckinley is not right because it is
of a different decree from that which
they feel. Then there is ex-Colonel Bry-
an of the same mind, William Lloyd
Garrison and Professor Atkinson, be-
fore-the-war fossils; Senator Hoar, who
is old enough to know better; Senator
Mason, the main guy of the senate, and
Boss Croker. And that is the whole
bunch of buglers whose names are
known to the public, who have Joined
the anti-expansion corps. Their lugu-
brious notes sounding a retreat do not
appeal to the rank and file of Ameri-
cans whose face is set toward the foe
and to attaining the goal for which they
have started.

who bG-.5ves that the country will in
dorse the war policy of the president.
Says this Texan, in a late interview:
The results of the Spanish war viii be
sustained by the voters of the United
States. That means the acquisition of
the colonies and the general approval
of the administration of President Nc
Kinley, who has shown himself to be
not only a patriotic president, but a
very able and far-seeing statesman. Mr..
Bryan will be the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party, but l am of the opinion
that his well-known views on the silver
question and his opposition to the
course of the administration in the
Philippines will lead to his second de-
fI,t -

More War Ships.

During the neXt veal five battle-ships,
twenty-five torpedo-boats and destroy
ers, a cruiser and a training ship are
to be added to the active list of the
United States navy. The addition will
greatly augment the strength of the
navy. Probably there will be similar
| additions for years to come, for the OPP
position to increasing the army is not
duplicated by opposition to strengthen
ing the navy, and appropriations can be
secured for this purpose without arous-
ing criticism. The torpedo-boats in
service during the war with Spain did
no damage, and perhaps may never be
practically used. But they serve to ter
rify the enemy and make them keep
away from ports where the deadly
craft hover. And, of course, the de-
structive little demons are liable to
come into use at any time when there
are hostilities. Some of them did effect
i've work in Chinese waters some years
ago when there was wal in the Orient.
They are handy things to have around
in time of danger, and when wanted
are wanted with that degree of neces-
sity that a Texan said a six shooter was
desired in Texas when needed at all.

The Denver papers are trying to ac-
count for the decrease in shipments of
lambs from New Mexico this fall, for
feeding on the alfalfa farms of thai
state. The reason for the shortage
seems plain enough. The sheep owners
of the territory have received good
prices for wool, and do not have to sell
their lambs, and will not unless better
prices are offered. It will pay better to
keep the lambs for raising fleece when
wool brings present prices than it will
to sell at rates heretofore paid by feed
ers. Things have changed, and the men
who reduced their flocks when the wool
industry was depressed now desire to
increase them.

The west is going to ask congress to
establish a department of mining with
a member of the cabinet for the depart
ment. The east will at the same time
seek to have a department of commerce
created and a cabinet officer provided
for the management thereof. OF course,
the east will oppose the west because it
will be considered that congress will be
unlikely to create two departments at
the same session. The east has the pull.
Blu If western senators will refuse to
sanction the appointment of a cabinet
officer for m the proposition will
fail. in all probability. Therefore. a
compromise nay be effected and both
departments established. The game is
worth playing, anyway, by western an
utors and representatives.

New York Republicans Harmonious.

While considerable is claimed by the
among the Republicans of Ohio, there is
only silence in regard to the Republic
ans of New York. There has not been
a time in many years with so little of
division and jealousy in that state
among Republicans. The fierce fights
which Senator Platt used to have on his
hands are remembered by all, but the
senator has ceased to be the. issue. The
nomination of President Mckinley and
the success of Governor Roosevelt DEM
onstrated that New York had NO Re-
publican boss powerful enough to set
himself successfully against a popular
state or national candidate. The expect
ed rupture resulting from the choice Of
Governor Roosevelt as a leader of the
party has not resulted, and Senator
Platt and the local administration seem
to have harmonious relations. Although
the leading men of the Union League
Club, which ever opposed Senator Platt,
including Secretary of War Root, have
been hon0red by the president, senator
Platt is not at war against President
Mckinley, and there is no opposition in
the state to the denomination of the
president. This is rather a remarkable
condition Of affairs, and is evidence
that the administration has exercised
good Judgment in his dealings within
the party, and has also shown wisdom
in the management of the business in
terests of the country, or the great me-
tropolis and her people would have
found cause for complaint. On the con-
trary, New York Republicans and citi-
zens generally appear to be fully as well
satisfied with the president as are the
people of the west.
