A NATION IN A HURRY.

Chicago Tribune.
That we are "a nation in a hurry"
is plain even to those who are in the
midst Of the mad whirl Of the cities
and who will take time TO thing about
it. 1t is the foreigner or the return
ing traveller from lands Of European
calm, however, who is most sensibly
impressed with our breathless ateeple-
chase after trains, trolly cars, food
and trade. The visitor to our shore
is first amazed at our nervous scurry-
ing and scrambling TO get ahead Of
Father Time and, if possible, cheat bin
out Of a few moments each day, but
he soon finds himself dlvested Of all
his native calm and becomes a hope
less victim Of the mysterious "infiu-
snce' that tempts US to do in an hour
lust twice as much as can be accom-
'lished in sixty minutes.
The impression Of this nervous, head
ong haste upon people, after a sea-
ION Of lazy, continental travelling, is
graphically portrayed by Eliot Greg
'ry in an article in the Atlantic Month
y for May. There was IAN Indian
summer languor in the air" as he
steamed up the bay toward New York
hat apparently invited repose; hut all
his calm soon disappeared as he set
loot on his native dock and took
Thiff Of home air. The old familiar.
unpleasant sensation of being in
hurry took possession Of his mind.
Everything breathed Of haste. 1t was
Useless to struggle against the current.

Chairman Jones, of the democratic
national committee. is said to have a
committee of Southern senators at
work on a model for the Kansas City
platform that will harmonic the ma
tional democracy for the presidential
campaign. The committee is studying
the Philippine question very closely
and seeking TO formulate plank on
that question upon which all democrats
can stand. It is also paying close
attention to the democratic platforms
since 1850 and hunting for material to
strengthen the platform which it is
trying to construct and upon which all
democrats Of all shades of opinion can
stand. 1t can readily be seen that the
committees work is not at all easy.
and that if it seeks planks from old
platforms on which the democrats of
all shades Of opinion can unite, it will
be forced to touch upon multitude
Of subjects. But, judging from the
attitude Of those democrats who be-
lieve in sound money and who are
decidedly opposed to the free coinage
fallaoy-and their number has not de-
creased since lS9s-and who are not
willing to engage in a campaign of
abuse of the administration for its
Philippine policy or to give aid and
comfort TO the Filipinos, the COM
mittee. no matter how many old doc
trines it revamps, win not succeed in
uniting the party on its platform. 1t
may try to obscure the silver question
with a multitude of other issues, hut
opposition to the un-democratic doc
trine of free silver and the un-demo-
cratic doctrine of antagonism to ex-
pansion will be so strong as not to
be shared by the adroitness of any
set of platform constructors.

TWO HUNDRED NEW TOWNS FOR
THE WEST. NOT INCLUDING
OREGON.
Chicago Times Herald.

| 1HlNfASb ! AilhtS-AltldlI
Public attention has been directed Of
late to a feature Of railway develop
ment which is a revelation to those who
have been inclined TO look at carrier
corporations through populist specta-
cies. 1t has always been conceded in
a general way that railroads are pow
erful agents for the Industrial develop
ment OF sections which they pene-
trate, but 1t was not known that they
had promoted the building of manufac.
turing plants to the extent which re-
cent figures concerning this feature Of
railroadlng would indicate. The rail-
roads have not only been promoting the
building of factories along their routes.
but they have made it a part Of their
business to find markets for the pro-
duct of these factories.
The western railroads, however, are
not content with building factories and
finding markets for them. They now
propose to build a couple of hundred
new towns as an incident Of the trans
portation business. These towns win
he scattered over the country between
Chicago and the coast Of the Pacific.
and it is expected that within the next
eighteen months or two years the rail-
roads viii have not less than 100000
people to populate them. Millions Of
dollars will be expended by the roads
in an effort to advertise the resources
and advantages Of the sections Of the
West in which it is proposed to locate
these towns.
The railroads which have entered
most extensively upon this work
Of town building are the Atchison.
Topeka and sante Fe, the Chicago and
Northwestern, the Burlington" the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, the
Northern Pacific, the Chicago and Eas-
tern Illinois and the Illinois Central.
The territory which 1t is proposed to
oDer for development embraces por-
tions Of Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kan
sas. Minnesota. the Dakotas, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin. Wyoming, Colorado.
Montana, Idaho, Iowa. Nebraska and
Washington.
The work Of carrying the enterpris-
ing sons and daughters Of the farmers
Of the Ohio valley and the Middle
West to the almost virgin soil Of the
farther West, which was practically |
suspende as an important feature Of |
railroading many years ago, is to be
taken up again with greater vigor than
ever. Territory which the hard times
forced the railroads to ignore is to be
rapidly developed. Free town sites for
churches and schoolhouses are offered
by nearly all the roads as an induce
nient to encourage speedy settlement,
and the policy Of the roads in the
transportation Of settlers is character
ized by great liberality.
The work undertaken by the railroads
means more town and more people for
populated portions Of the
West. and following this will come the
Of new railway lines and the
development Of agricultural, mining
md timber resources.

FrightfuI Death
Met by Edward Westenhouser ON Sun
day Morning.
Lancaster Gazette,l


On last Saturday evening, Mr..
Edward Westenhouser, an estim-
able young gentleman and an en-
ploye of the Fairfield Shoe Factory.
and his friend, Robert East, attend
ed a picnic at the Buckeye Park.
They remained rather late and
caught a passing freight train to
come home, reaching here about
three o'clock Sunday morning.
The train was speeding along at
a rapid rate when it reached this
city, and East wanted Westenhous-
er to remain on until the train
slowed up at the target, but he de-
cided to make the leap at the
Broad street crossing, which he
d !, with frightful results. No one
s. him jump but his friend, and it
IL opposed that he chung to the
CO. and was drawn beneath the
wheels.
East remained on the train, and
when it stopped, alighted in safety.
He came back to look for his friend
and found his mangled remains
where he had seen him jump off
few minutes before. One leg and
an arm had been severed from the
body and his head literally mash
ed, so that it was almost unrecOg-
nizable.
Mr.. East crossed the street and
called up Mr.. John Connolly, who
came up the street for Coroner ely.
The coroner viewed the remains,
with about the results as stated
above.
The unfortunate young man was
wholly responsible for the accident
Word had already been sent to
the home of his parents on West
Walnut Street and the mangIed re-
mains were gathered together as
soon as possible and taken to
StropePs undertaking establish
ment and prepared for burial.
Hundreds OF people viewed the
scene Of the accident during the
day, the point being clearly dis
cernable by the splotches and pud-
dies of blood.
The funeral services were con-
