Washington, DC, Dec. 11.-Coming
to the capital city. by way of New
York one has the choice of many
routes. A great deal has appeared in
the papers of the northwest this sea-
son in regard to the Nickel Plate"
route and I believe those who have
tried this route will agree that the
claims of the management have not
been extravagant. The Nickel Plate
road proper runs as far east as Buffalo
only but by a traffic arrangement with
the Lackawanna through cars are run
from Chicago to New York on good
time, and affording splendid accommo-
dajtions. The route is picturesque,
that portion down the famous Gen
eseo valley, on down through Bing-
hampton, Scranton, Mount Pocono, on
through the famous Delaware water
gap-where the Delaware" has cut
through almost perpendicular noun
tains to reach the sea-on to" Dover
and through New Jersey to Hoboken
ferry for upper or lower New York
this route is indeed interesting, COM
Portable and satisfactory. have
come to the conclusion, after repeated
personal experience. that the west
erner, whether, on o tour of pleasure,
business, politics, or all three, should
take in New York. 1t has been truly
said there's but one New York. and
New York is all in one combined. 1t
is the financial and business center of
the western hemisphere and while
some new members of congress come
to the city on the Potomac with an in
herited impression that Washington
is the center Of government, the po-
litical arena of the United States, after
trip or two to- New York they dis
cover that Gotham has a greater pull
on national legislation than they had
ever dreamed Of But all Of this is
tedious. A few. personalities and I
have done.
Mention was made in these columns
the other day of J. M. Quinn, for many
years chief of the Tribune's staff. He
is still holding down the job of chief
clerk of the water supply department,
considered by Boss Croker about
Quinn's size after his famous speeches
before the braves ef Tammany and in
the campaign of 1896, The position
is under municipal civil service but
as Quinn has just been admitted to
practice law in all the courts of New
York he is, planning to soon bid adieu
to political pap and go it alone on his
merits FieSwill win He has the
ability, the vim and the courage. He
urges and needs only the encourage
ment of his friends. He has hosts of
the1n-new as well as old. i am sure
that those of his old acquaintance in
the northwest who may have need of
professional services in New York, or
the east will correspond with J. M.
Quinn, Park Row building, New York.
BY the way, speaking, Of the Park
Row building7thirty stories high-re-
minds me that that prince of North
Dakota boomers back in the 'SO's,
Hon. W. F. Steele-is up in the 10th or
