have filed their answer to the bill of COM
plaint of Horace Crosier ct al. by which it
is sought to prevent the road commissioners
from q further expenditure Of the license
fund of the county on the Bladensburg
road. The defendants deny that certain
allegations are in any wise material to the

sought to imply that the location of the
real estate mentioned, with reference to
county roads actuated the defendants or in

the construction of permanent highways

repudiate and deny. The question of the

ion in the circuit court here in the injunc-
ton suit of the American Security and
Trust Company of Washington and Adds

May Go for Bryan.
Minnesota for Mckinley.

The democrats are making some claims in
regard to Minnesota, which state is given
to President Mckinley In this estimate.
There seems little basis, however, for dem
ocratic hopes in that direction. notwith-
standing the attitude taken by Gov. Lind
in his effort to carry his state for Mr..
Bryan. Minnesota has had a crop failure,
hich. while not as bad as 1t appeared to
be some weeks ago. is sufficient to cause
districts. The people OF Minnesota, how
ever. are strongly republican In their ten
dencies They are protectionists and for
sound money. Sympathy for the Beers
might possibly change few votes in Min
nesota. but 1t must also be remembered
that there Is q large element In the popu1a-
ton Of Minnesota which found its origin
in Canada, and among these people also
are many naturalized Englishmen or peo-
pie Of English descent, all of whom are
strongly anti-Boer in their sympathy.
Whether the above estimate of the poiit-
ical situation west of the Mississippi be
absolutely correct or not as to the details
of the electoral vote, one thing is apparent
to the most casual observer, and that is
the enormous losses to the Bryan cause
which will be revealed in the popular vote
of that section when It is recorded in No
vember. This is due primarily to the sub
sidence of enthusiasm over free silver, the
return of many fusionists Of 1895 to the
republican party and a general disinclina-
ton to accept the democratic issue Of i'm
perialism as being worthy Of serious con-
sideration. ]. D. WHELPLEY.

CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS

Mrs. Chickering. widow of the New
York congressman, who met his death
in an accident last Wednesday, has
chosen wisely in declining to counte-
nance the pagan rite known as a con-
gressional funeral. Such obsequies
merely furnish an excuse for junket-
ing party of senators and congressman,
who journey to the funeral in a special
train literally stocked with stimulants
and who turn up at the mortuary serv-
ices redolent of whisky and stale to-
bacco smoke. The spectacle is unedi-
flying and Mrs. Chickering, like other
sensible people, sees in 1t no honor to
the dead and a scandal to the living.
The statesmen who were assigned to
attend the Chickering funeral may be
disappointed. but they can solace
themselves by getting drunk in Wash
ington instead Of New York.

Mile q HlnutA

Tia spot In the Swiss Alps that at
tracts the winter sportsmen OF Europe
Is the Cresta run, at St Moritz. which
Is Just one mile In length. The To-
bogganing season here begins about
the middle of November. when the nrst
snow falls. The condition OF the run
is not left to chance, but the slide Is
prepared under the direction OF a COM
mittee. Swiss toboggans, in contrast
to the Canadian ones, made entirely
Of wood, are raised on runners shod
with iron or steel. The expert rider
lies promo upon the toboggan, head
foremost, both hands grasping the
framework at the sides. and both feet
employed in steering. Iron spikes are
securing to the toes OF the boots, and
by trailing one or the other foot along
the ground the big sled may be guided.
But as this fashion Of steering tends
to diminish the speed, the most skill
full riders use the feet as little as pos
sible and depend upon shifting the po-
sition. Though the Cresta run is a
mile in length, the whole distance may
be made in seventy seconds. At the
steepest point a mile a minute Is made.
