Sibley for Second Place.

A recent dispatch from Washington
says: a prominent western Demo-
cratic member of the House says he
has discovered that overtures are being
made by Republican leaders to have
Representative Sibley of Pennsylvania
run for Vice President on the ticket
with McKinly.
81 believe" added the Democrat re-
ferred to, ''that Sibley will act in a
hurry if he sees chance to be nom-
mated. | know that a number of
Republicans have talked with Sibley
with view of working up boom for
him, and he takes most kindly to the
proposition. The Republicans have
an idea that he has a strong pull with
the agricultural classes. He has been
in close to"~-, with the farmer organ
izations for years, but my opinion is
that Sibley has changed his politics at
the wrong time to win any higher
political honors.
son our side of the House we no
longer consider him Democrat and
most of our people are so furious with
him that it has been suggested re-
peatedly that he move his seat to the
Republican reservation. If we hold
another caucus during the session and
Sibley tries to come in, that will give
the Democrats an opportunity to in
Vite him to walk out''

Did You Ever =?

No! I never have been so over
whelmed with acres, yes acres-of
of simple grandeur as when our train
passed the Wick flower farm at Des-
patch, N. Y. Before us were immense
strips of beautiful clear pink,-sea
shell pink they call it,-reminding one
of the charming tint on the lip of the
conch shell of the Florida Keys; the
most pleasing tint in the whole range
of color. These huge strips were
alternated with similar strips Of white,
and this great garden of the acres rep

Short Line to Buffalo.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-The Penn
sylvania railroad company will within
a short time have line of its own to
Buffalo and the work of locating the
new road will be begun shortly. The
first step towards the building of the
new line was made few days ago,
when the.company announced itwould
purchase the stock of the Erie and
Western Transportation company. 1t
was stated yesterday that the reason
for securing the steamship company
was to prevent it from passing into
other hands, or eventually going into
liquidation.
At the same time the Pennsylvania
railroad company has no outlet of its
own into Buffalo.
1t is the intention of the company to
build new line from Kane to Wilcox
on the Philadelphia and Erie railroad
to Buffalo, distance of about 1876
miles. This road will give the Penn
sylvania railroad company good line
to Buffalo.
Besides the construction of this line
the Pennsylvania railroad will build
other sections of road and it is con-
templated to construct a line from Mt.
Jewett to Lemont and then to Empo-
rum on the Philadelphia and Erie
line. This will cut off number of
miles and will give the company a
shorter haul to the seaboard. When
the new line is completed all the busi-
ness for Buffalo from Pittsburg will be
taken over the Allegheny division to a
point on the Philadelphia and Erie
road. 1t was also stated that line
would be built from Falls Creek on the
Allegheny Valley low grade division
to Winslow on the Pennsylvania Wes-
tern railroad, 50 that a short cut can
be made to the main line for points
east of Bellwood.
