ON GONE RUN" FOR As YEARS.
The Remarkable Record of an EnSi-
neer Who Has Never Hurt
Passenger.

1t takes an all-around man to be a
good locomotive engineer. No calling
or profession requires a clearer brain,
a stouter heart and steadier nerve,
says Leslie's Weekly. That Mr.. William
H. Gordon, of East Milestone, n. j.,
possesses these qualities in an eminent
degree is evident from the fact that he
has been in continuous and uninter-
rupted service as a railroad engineer for
81 years.
More remarkable still is the fact that
Al of these years have been spent on
what is known in railway parlance as
lone rum" that between Jersey City
and East Milestone. Mr.. Gordon began
his railway life in May, 1s45, as fire.
man on the Camden & Amboy road. A
year later he became the engineer of
the famous Johnny Bull'' on this line,
where he remained until 1S47. In 1855
he came to his present post of duty,
and has been there ever since.
In al these years he has never had
serious accident and has never hurt
passenger. Mr.. Gordon recently cele-
brated his 18th birthday, when he re-
ceived the greetings of many friends
and well-wishers. Except when he
reads very fine print he is not obliged
to wear glasses, and his hand at the
throttle is as firm and steady as ever.

THE PEOPLE INUNDATED.
Inde ensible Attitude of the Admins
istratiOn in the Macrum
Affair.

With one exception the Boston
newspapers editorially pass over ex-
Consul Macrum's complaints with ex-
pressions that such action as is as
cribed to England is to be regretted
and that the state department should
take cognizance of the discourtesy.
The Traveller, independent democrat.
however, savagely assails the adAinis-
tration, saying in part:
why is it that Mr.. Mckinley is
constantly humiliating the people of
the United States? We cannot believe
that he personally would do, or per-
NIT to be done, the humiliating acts
for which his administration must be
held responsible. He seems to be led
about by those whom he has associ-
ated with him in his cabinet and by
those who stood sponsor for him in
securing his election to the pres
idency. These men, both in and out
of his cabinet, are manifestly too
mighty for him to resist successfully,
and so they compromise him at every
step of his administration, and the
melancholy part of it all is that when
they have entangled him with army
scandals, with trust scandals. with
imperialistic policies and with foreign
alliances he lacks the will power, the
backbone, the sterling courage to
stand for his own convictions and dis
claim the acts of his subordinates.
How long will the American people
endure these repeated humiliations?
The proposed Nicaragua treaty was
+a ho
practical alliance of this country with
England.
And now comes the latest, and per-
haps the most stinging, humiliation
of all. when we find that Mr.. Macrum,
our consul to Pretoria. has been
obliged to leave his post like dog
with his tail between his legs because
of humiliations ana insults heaped
upon him by the bullying officials of
England. How long are we to endure
such outrages as this? What has the
administration at Washington done
about it? Simply this, so far as
known: 1t has compelled Mr.. Macrum
to stink away from his post of duty
simply because he could no longer en-
dure the insults heaped upon him,
and instead of waiting until he could
report in person at Washington ap-
pointed his successor in the person of
a son of Secretary Hay, a mere boy
so far as experience in statecraft is
concerned. and of course as English
as his father. whose toadyism to Eng
land in connection with the Nicara-
qua treaty has disgusted this entire
nation. irrespective of party.
rs this the country of Washington,
of Jackson. of Lincoln? The people
demand that the congress shall probe
this matter of an understood alliance
with England to the bottom. We
want no entangling alliances, either
formed or understood. with England
or any other foreign power"

of her life. But with grief she discov-
cred that the song of nature had n
higher note than the love lyric of her
heart.
Perhaps it was because the hour had
been too long expected. George CaN-
ton and Barbara Merriden had gone
to school together. They knew every
event of each others lives. They had
always been attached to each other.
George had never thought of any other
girl with emotion, and Barbara had
long felt that she was destined to be
his wife. She had said yes to his
earnest question with gratitude and
happiness. yet now, in the mystic hour
by the river, with the sun shedding it's
last exquisite glow upon an unreal
world. she felt a weariness of spirit
at the moderation of her joy.
She was turning from the beautiful

her own emotions, when she saw walk

said, speaking as if in dream. "And

WILLIAM THE SHIFTY.
Double Dealing of the Chief Execu-
tive In His Treatment of cues
tiOns of State.

When man plants himself square,
ly on both sides of any question the
impression left on the popular mind
is that he has Cbliterated himself as
a factor in the discussion, and this has
clearly happened in the case of the
president and the Porto Rico tariff
question.
Mr. Mckinley began by saying in
congress in December that it was "a
plain duty" to remove all tariff re-
strictions on trade between Porto
Rico and the rest of the United States
He gives to some of those who talk
with him the impression that he is
still of the same opinion. But 1t Is
known that privately he is telling the
republican congressman that they had
better pass the ways and means COM
mittee's bill providing for a tariff on
imports from Porto Rico. We do not.
of course. suppose that Mr.. Mchln-
ley expected when he put in the rec
ommendation for free trade in his
message in December that he would
be urging congressman to maintain
tariff against Porto Rico in February.
The final result of such stiffness in
the white house is that on this ques-
ton the presidents power over legis-
lation established by the constitution
becomes a nullity. The president con-
forms to the constitution in telling
the congress what he thinks ought to
be done, but at the same time tells
congressman privately that he will be
lust as well suited if they do the
opposite thing and that whatever they
may do will meet his approval.-Hart-
ford Comm Times.

Attorney General Griggs doesn I

to the cabinet there was great

ness. Griggs has. though, "simmered

secretary of war with the avowed pur-
pose to get a man who had the legal
talent to devise ways of running our

Griggs seems to be to satisfy the

ton from the state from which the

of Mr.. Griggs would be an affront to
