Ii Is very. easy 10 be mistaken in
mems motives. Many were certain
that Geo. Washington was secretly
forming a kingdom at the head of
which he would preside. More were
certain that Abraham Lincoln would
found an empire. During the Grant
and Greeley campaign 1t was openly
charged that U. s. Grant was inter
ested In an imperialistic move which
would sweep the republic of this
hemisphere. Yet we all have. lived to
fully realize that the oppopents of
those noble and patriotic men were
mistaken. The present administra-
tion. is charged with harboring and
fostering the same intention, even by
those who clamored for war, de-
manded the adoption of the final
treaty with Spain, and defeated the
attempted legislation against trusts.
It is by no means absolutely safe to
follow leaders who, In order to create
a paramount issue'' for campaign
purposes, are ready to stifle whole
some legislation, Or, who clamor for
war, fully aware that complications
generally arise which may afford an
excuse to oppose the administration
1t has taken the democratic party
thirty years to find out what good
man Abraham Lincoln was, and as
they are generally that far behind the
times, IL is not to be wondered at
that they cannot appreciate Wm.
Mckinley. Future generations may
expect to see the democratic rostrum
adorned with the portraits OF Wash
ington, Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley,
and they may even be declaring them
selves Roosevelt Republicans" thirty
four years hence.

called to the fact that j. p. Alexan-

having been called upon TO furnish an

What q MoguI Can Do.

That was remarkable demonstration of
what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the
New York Central the other day, when en-
CINE No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled
out train No. IL, the Southwestern Limited,
made up of two mail cars, five passenger
coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars
IN all. The total weight of the train was
$4,000 pounds, or 9l6 tons, and the length
OF the train, including the engine, was PIP
feet, or nearly quarter of a mile. This
engine made the running time of the train
between New York and Albany, l43 miles,
in three hours and fifteen minutes
There is no railroad in the world which
has better roadbed, more skillful engi-
neers, or better equipment, backed by loyal
men always alert for the safety of their pas
ssengers, than the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad. What road can
match its corps of men, from President Cal
laway down the long line of employees, to
the humble and faithful trackmen who
watch their sections of rail through the
long hours of the night and day, in order to
safeguard the lives of the travellers on trains
whirling by their humble shanties, many Of
which nestle closely to the rails under their
rdianship.-Editorial from the Albany

COME BY DEVIOUS ROUTE.
How TeIegrams from China Reach
the United States Gov
ernnent.

Let us follow dispatch from Tien-
tsin, says the Washington Star. Sup
pose it should read: Long, Washing
ton: 1t is imperative that brigade
of troops and a powerful feet of war
vessels be sent at once. Our forces re-
pulsed with heavy loss. Act quickly"
This dispatch is filed at Tientsin as
above. 1t is in cipher. The operator
receives merely a lot of words with
out consecutive connection or meaning
to him. He goes it blind as far as
accuracy is concerned. He ticks it off
to Hong-Kong, to the cable station.
The English have two complete cables
from Hong-kong to London, by re-
lays, as l will describe From Hong
Kong the dispatch is sent to Singa-
pore, either by way of Labuan, on the
island of Borneo, or by the Cochin
China relay. At Singapore it is sent
to the next relay station, at Penang,
also on the Malay peninsula. 1t then
penetrates India, being caught up at
Madras and hurried on to Bombay.
Thence it flies to Alden, in Arabia, to be
put on the cable to Suez, Africa. 1t
then speeds toward Europe via Malta.
Gibraltar, Lisbon and finally winding
up on that side of the hemisphere at
the central office in London. Thence
it is licked to New York. to be once
more Transcribed and sent to Washing
ton.
The dispatch has consequently been
transcribed no less than Is times at
the various relay stations. If it be sent
overland from Marseilles, France, one
or two of the relay stations L have
named would be cut out.
1t is reasonable, therefore, that a
code dispatch handled by so many diff
ferent hands and in different coun-
tries, even assuming that all of the
operators are English, should be a lit
tie the worse for wear when it reaches
the big pile of granite on Pennsylvania
avenue.

SOME OF THE REASONS.
Why the Plain People Do Not Think
the Trust a Necessary and Bene-
fetal Institution.

Here are a few of the reasons why
the plain people" are not inclined to
meelly accept the inspired statements
of the trust organs and speakers show
ing what a natural, necessary and ben
efcent institution a trust is:
1t requires 80 per cent. more wheat
to, buy stove than it did in 1886.
1t requires 20 bushels more corn to
buy a stove than it did in 1896.
1t requires 100 per cent. more corn or
wheat to buy copper kettle than in
1896.
1t requires twice as much corn to buy
coil of rope as it did in 1896.
1t requires 20 per cent. more grain to
buy plow than in 1896.
1t requires IS per cent. more grain
to buy hoe, a rake or a shovel than
in 1896.
A set of common wheels that cost
seven dollars in 1896 now cost $12.
The price of cultivators and other
| farm implements has gone up proper
! tionately.
Galvanized barbed wire costs fror
four dollars to $3.50 per hundred NOR,
than in 1896.
1t requires 40 per cent. more corn or
cotton to buy pound of sugar than in
1896.
You have to pay 40 per cent. more for
glass than in 1896.
Freight rates have climbed back to
the eNorbitant prices which caused a
popular revolt in legislation few years
ago.
The prices of oil, coal, lumber, toois
and hardware have gone up from 40 to
100 per cent.
And all these things have been done
by the trusts.
\ trust robs you waking or sleeping.
eating or drinking, working or playing,
living or dying. and the coffin trust
| gets YOU in the end.

Red. Tape In Russia.

Here is a story of Russian red
tape: \ gentleman in Moscow or
dered particular kind of horse from
one OF the government breeding es-
Establishments. After delay of three
weeks he received an official COM
munication, spread over much paper,
to the effect that as he had omitted
to forward a stamp for reply, there
could be no answer to his request.
The document was signed by several
officials. The gentleman apologized,
and sent the stamp at once In the
course of the next week he received
another communication from the
breeding establishment to say that
a horse such as he required could not
be supplied.-N. Y, Times.
