an interesting piece OF work accOmp-i 4
lished by the C.. & N. w. engineers. and
3workmen a few days ago that is a fair
sample of the hustle and get-there OF
modern RAILROAD construction. The
State Center paper says:
The NORTHWESTERN Is now ueisg the
new rghtsof way between here and La
Noble, and altho 1t cost the company
dearly in lawsuits yet to come and
heavy grading. still the iron horses
chase along the new track in perfect
peace The State Center hill, known as
the worst grade on the division, is now
thing Of the past and when the track
is put in good condition the course
from here to LAM ollie will be the pref
ties. race track on the division.
Everything was in readiness Friday
to make the change ana workme.l and
the gravel train waited at the crossing
of the old track near the Bence farm
The bridge gang under Hanm had the
timbers fitted for a bridge over the old
track and the steel gang had THE rails
cut and were ready to lay the track
when the bridge was completed. What
followed is a fair sample OF modern
railway building.
AS soon as No. 10. the fast mail,
passed, the work commenced. The
bridge man laid the stringers. fastened
the buttments and laid a temporary
line Of supporters. The ties were laid
and spiked, the rails put in place and
fastened and the gravel train backed a
car of gravel across the bridge in ex
actly thirteen minutes from the time
No. Is left, the last train to use the old
track. The company was without a
track from here to Marshalltown only
thirteen minutes and In that time a
connecting bridge and railroad had
been built.

through their representatives. and not TO
the executive" This declaration was made
because Mr.. Lincoln had recognized a civil
government in Louisiana.
More than half of the American
people in the Northern States cannot real
lie the peril which this movement involved.
The convention was held at the close of
the bloody and seemingly indecisive series
of battles in Virginia and Georgia, when
the disloyal Democratic leaders in the
North We're ~denouncing the war as a fail
ure and demanding an armistice. Yet Ere
mont accepted the nomination in a letter
criticising Mr.. Lincoln much as ex-Gover-
nor Boutwell, and others now ~criticise
President Mckinley. He remained in the
field as a candidate until after the Vermont
and Maine elections in September, when
Sheridan's first victories in the Shenan-
doah valley revived the courage of the
loyal people of the North. He was then
induced TO retire, which he did in a letter
quite as denunciatory as that with which
he accepted the nomination. If those who
StdIteu tndl movement cOulu nave SarTleu
out their crotchety and sore-headed designs.
General Mcclellan would nave been elected.
They failed because a sound-hearted and
loyal people in tine North could not be in
duced to turn their backs upon Abraham
Lincoln.
Those men who held a convention TO de-
nounce and overthrow Abraham Lincoln in
1864 had just the same grievances that the
Boutwells and the others have against the
President to-day. .Lincoln's administration
was denounced for an alarming use OF
and for measures which threatened the
stability of republican institutions The
citizens in session yesterday used similar
phrases. Between the men who made
themselves infamous for all time by attack
ing Lincoln in a period of the greatest peril
in the Nations life and the men holding
meetings in this city there is but one diff
ference: Tn period, the crisis, their num-
Der and character gave TO their proceedings
a semblance of treason, while the words
and resolutions of the Anti-imperialists will
attract little attention. The assailants of
Lincoln in the Fremont convention made
themselves infamous: The a%ssailants of
Mckinley in the Liberty Congress make
| themselves ridiculous. 1t is a repetition of
history in a small edition in paper covers.

A BRYAN SIDE SHOW.

The Liberty Congress. as it calls itself,
is both a Bryan sideshow and a failure.
Not over two hundred men were present
yesterday instead of the eight hundred
delegates promised, and one-fourth Of
these were Indiana Organizes of the in
tense 16-to-1 brand Who have been snubbed
by the controlling element-Dr. Van Vor-
his. John Overmyer, David S. Gooding. T.
f.. johnson, Romus F. Stuart. Allen w.
Jennings and the like. In short, one
fourth of the so-called delegates are either
rampant silverites or Democrats of the
type above named. And these are the men
who met the Anti-imperialists and the
the son of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Edward
Atkinson, if he had been here. What must
the Brahmins of Boston think about In
diana when such men appeared as repre-
sentative citizens? The only man who had
been a Republican of note in the two hun
dred was Ex-Governor Boutwell,, of Massa-
chusetts. Carl SEIZURE seemed to under
stand what might be expected, and was
absent. Bourke Cochran sent a letter. For
the rest 30 per cent. were Democrats. and
not one whose name is given as being of
Indiana is known as a Republican. Those
calling themselves the representatives of
the National party are men of high char
acter, who must have been disappointed
with the men they met.
What is the object of this miserable fail
ure? Did those who originated II as an
imposing demonstration imagine that it
would influence the Republicans of Indi-
ana? If they so thought they misjudge
the Republicans of this State, even If the
assemblage were respectable ia numbers
and character. The meeting was made Up,
SO far as those from this locality are con-
cerned, of the most vociferous advocates OF
l6 to l n howlers against government by
injunction, and will disgust the few men
who might be in doubt. When will a class
of Democrats learn that nothing is gained
by assuming that the people are fools and
can be hoodwinked by any sort OF a po-
litical fake calling itself Liberty Con-
greSS?"

a SHORT REPETITION OF HISTORY.

The self-styled Liberty Congress and the
other assemblage OF a few citizens calling
themselves Independents recall the truth
Of the saying that history repeats itself.
Sometimes the repetition is in a small way,
as is witnessed by the meetings in this
city. But. feeble and even ridiculous as
they are. they recall greater outbreaks in
times of greater peril.
In the summer of 1864 the friends of
freedom who were opposed TO the re-eIec-
ton of Abraham Lincoln held n Liberty
Congress and nominated John c. Fremont
For President. That convention was at
tended by $50 persons. and included such
men as Rev. DR.. Cheever and Ex-Governor
Louis Robinson. of New York, Senator b.
Crate Brown of Missouri, and several more
or less prominent citizens in all the North
crn States. All of the leading Abolitionists
movement. including Wendell Phillips.
James Redpath and Frederick Douglass.
This convention was called because the
Lincoln government was "crlminally cor
rupt" and to resist 1.-The swelling Invasion
of an open, shameless and unrestrained
patronage and an administration of affairs
which seeks TO control the remotest parts
OF the country in favor OF its supreme chief.

much steadier. Four years ago the voters
changed distress to prosperity by defeat
ing Bryan; this year they can cause pros

IMPERIALISM IN PORTO RICO.

While much remains TO be done in Porto
Rico to relieve many of the people of the
disastrous results of the last hurricane, the
work that has been done under the rule of
Mckinley Imperialism" will commend it
self to most people in their right minds
who have any appreciation of the benefits
of civilization. Since the hurricane over
built, and roads have been constructed in
districts that hitherto were without them.
A d~eep-water dock has been constructed at
San Juan. a lighthouse at Morea island,
and many buoys have been placed along
the coast. The prisons have been reformed.
sanitary regulations have been enforced
and towns have been drained. The reor-
ganized courts have the confidence of the
people. The new insular police have not
only caught and punished numerous local
efficient missionaries of cleanliness and
decency. With the exception of the chief.
who is a German-American, the police is
composed Of natives.
When imperialism was set UP in Porto
Rico 90 per cent. of its people could not
read. and $50 townships had no schools.
Since imperialism" began more thar one
hundred schools have been opened and go
900 American schoolbooks nave been intro
duced. All the pupils are taught the Eng
hundred Porto Rico teachers nave visited
the United States TO study American
methods. A manual training school has
been opened in San Juan, and q normal
school, costing $4,000, is building in
Fajardo. For the present, the officers find
it impossible TO furnish accommodations
for those who seek the schools, but it is
asserted that imperialism will manifest its
hideousness in compelling children to at
tend school just as do the laws of Indiana.
Under, imperialistic sway the trade of the
country, both in and out. is increasing, the
tariff furnishing sufficient revenues to
carry on the work of Imperialism in the
way of public improvements, the enforce
ment of laws to insure security and the
education of the young.
One of the most noticeable of the acts
Of oppression for which the imperialistic
government is responsible is the refusal to
let the people die of smallpox. The year
before the Americans came smallpox car
ried off 52 natives, and eighteen months
ago 1900 cases were known to exist. This
afforded a pretext for the imperialists to
manifest their power by ordering the
vaccination of the entire population, and
100000 of 100000 were successfully vaccin-
ated- No death from smallpox has oc-
Cured in the last eight months. The i'm
| perialists have taken away from the
natives the privilege of having smallpox
without the consent of the governed"

The story of Webster Davis that while
the Boer ENJOYS were calling upon Secre-
tary Hay the British ambassador was con-
cealed within hearing, shows that he has
learned nothing since he shot his own hat
and charged it upon a Roman Catholic
assassin. The Beers went to the secretary
of state as private citizens and were plainly
told that while the President sympathized
with the South African republics. he could
not intervene in their behalf-a declaration
the country approves, because it does not
think it would be good policy to get into a
war with Great Britain to secure the in
dependence Of fewer people han have been
disfranchised in the South. Besides. if Mr..
Hay desired to nave the British ambassa-
dor informed of what the Beers said, he
could have had his stenographer take notes
of their remarks. Webster Davis lacks the
common sense essential to an AL prevari-
Gator.
