A Pensacola dispatch to the Atlanta Journal says:
 struction of the Dothan. Hartford and Florida Railroad, a new line which will be built from Dothan, Ala, to St. Jo- seph, Fla. a distance of 102 miles. The road will pass through Henry and Gen eva counties. Alabama, and Washington. Jackson and Franklin counties. Florida. touching and intersecting the Louisville and Nashville branch line at Chipley, Fla, and running southwest from Chip ley to St. Joseph. where Is to be found a safe 'harbor. almost land-locked. and having a depth of from 25 to 35 feet at the shore line.
 ''The line is backed by ample capital. several wealthy New York men being be- hind the scheme. They have floated their bonds in New York. and are said to have realized $1. 800. 900 on the lot.
 'The contract has been let to the we'll known railroad building firm of Harda- way, Jones and Company. whose head quarters are said to be in Columbus. Ga. bond of $l0O, 900 for the construction and completion of the railroad within twen- ty-four months. such being specified in given. the contractors have begun to place the necessary machinery. mules. etc. along the line of the route. and work is expected to be commenced some
 saThe people of Chipley and St. Joseph are jubilant over the coming of the new railroad. and have every confidence in the belief that the road will be built and add a great impetus to the growth of both places. The terminus town. St. Joseph, has already been laid off in true city style, and 1t is difficult to purchase any land at reasonable price near the town proper It Is only thinly populated at present, but a gentleman from that place who was in Pensacola last week says that within the next five years there would be at least 10000 people there. and that a number of capitalists are already figuring on the prospect of building several manufactories there.
 From Chipley to St. Joseph the route extends through a virgin pine forest, and the advantage of the road will be com prehended at once whe 1t is told that there are practically no means of trans porting the timber after it Is cut, as the streams are very conspicuous by their absence"

Eastern Traffic Congestion.

Dispatches say every railroad In the Pittshurg district Is now suffering the worst freight congestion in the history of the city. This clogging of traffic has been a source of annoyance to the rail- roads and to manufacturers and ship pers for two months, but the situation was never more acute than at present.
 There is no sign of immediate relief. This can only come with the release, after November 18th of the thousands of cars used in the lake ore and coal trade. The tonnage offered is said to be fully 30 per cent greater than the capacity of the rail- roads to properly handle it. The rail- roads have in turn flooded the carbuild- ing companies with orders for equipment.

 Production of Locomotives.
 Last year there were turned out of the American shops s15s railroad engines, the largest number ever built In the his- tory of the country. The production showed an increase of 6S0 locomotives, or 27.5 per cent over the production of 1899, when the building record was also broken. In that year 2473 locomotives were turned out. In 1898 the American shops produc- ed 1875, in 1897. 136l. and in 1se6 1175.
 The export figures, taken in connec- ton with the American production, are most significant. Last year there were sent abroad 505 machines. This is above the average of two each week, which Is evidence sufficient that were they not exported the traffic in this country would not have been delayed to the extent 1t was, and with the 505 machines handling the American tonnage, the car shortage, which caused so much inconvenience to the American shippers. would never have existed.
 During the latter part of last summer there was a car famine extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, and this was principally due 10 the shortage of engines. With more steam power the cars could have been moved from place to place much quicker. and in many in stances three or four days have teen saved on each car. which would have been equal to an increase of F per cent of cars.

wORLD,S-19O3-FAIR
NO ARTFUL G

II Governor Yates Of Illinois Is intent
upon rendering faithful public service
instead Of merely playing politics for
personal purposes, he should find no
difficulty in accepting the responsibility
Of choosing between the two candidates
for appointment az curator Of the State
Museum at Springfield.
The real issue in the case is not, as
Governor Yates seems to believe, the
solidifying of himself with the Swedish
American members of the Republican
party in Illinois.
His plain and only duty in the prem
ises Is to select the best man for the
place. the man whose natural abilities
end scientific requirements promise the
best equivalent for the salary paid. The
only consideration that should prevail
with the Governor is that which looks
to the best interest of the people.
Governor Yates is not presenting a
very respectable figure in Sinking re-
sponsibility in the task of naming this
State official. He looks more like a
peanut politician than the executive of
the great Commonwealth Of Illinois. He
should take a fresh grip on himself and
proceed to the faithful performance Of
his plain duty.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-08-16
TAKING HIS MEASURE.

Governor Yates is ambitious. Even his
friends and enemies are united on that
point. They are not agreed. however,
as to the efficacy Of the methods which
he has adopted to compass his political
desires. He has succeeded i'm lowering
the esteem in which he was formerly
held by a series of acts that are calcu-
lated to disgust those who wished him
well at the beginning of his term of Of
fee.
Within the past few weeks the Illinois
Governor has taken a step into national
politics by uniting with Colonel ROOse-
welt. He has been coy enough to per-
NIT suggestions connecting his name
with that Of the vice presidency. 1t Is
safe to say that his record will prove
his undoing.
Unfortunately for Governor Yates. he
has not succeeded in hiding his light
under n bushel. The Boston Evening
Transcript, in an editorial on the Illinois
Executive, discusses some of the acts
for which he is responsible. 1t quotes
a NollSsRollNA "ho ctoNNS thaN tAIC
Governor is, or seems to be, utterly
lacking in the courage Of leadership. He
has certainly ~alienated all the promi-
nent members of his party, with the ex-
ception Of the worst faction of the ad-
herents Of the late Governor Tanner"
Specific mention is made of the out
rageous treatment accorded the charities
of the State. The debauching Of the
public service for machine ends is de-
plored. HE has run the political pat
ronage MILL" says this writer, for the
benefit of his family and his friends to
an extent that is little short of scan
dalous."
Concluding, the editorial points out
that 1.-THE Governor entered upon his Of
fetal service with a great opportunity
and the prestige Of an honored name.
He seems to have thrown away the one
and clouded the other. He does not
seem to be doing a Governors. or even n
mans, part in trying to stay the tide
Of corruption that for years has been
poisoning the politics of Illinois"
Not the least important part of this ar
raignment is its absolute truth. Gov
ernor Yates has done far less than even
his enemies anticipated. He has fallen
far short Of the measur to which he
aspired. 1t is well that the East. as well
as the people of his State. has
placed such a just estimate on his
claims for recognition.

DYING ABORNIN'.

Another display Of innate weakness
at the last meeting Of the Public Owner
ship party has resulted in a split in that
organization.
1t was to be expected. The men en-
gagged In the fake reform" movement
under the leadership Of Lee Meriwether
do not believe that their mission II
greater than themselves.
Far from 1t. The men in the Public
Ownership movement, in the Allied
Third party and in the Municipal Own
ership organization are looking out
strictly for number one. Every man
who rises to any prominence In connec-
tion with the work is sure to receive q
knockout blow from others who are
Jealous. The whole proposition b one
Of personal aggrandizement.
This being the case. the attempt to
create a party that will be an effectual
aid to the Republicans in their efforts
to defeat the Democrats will die an
early death. The movement has been
characterized by weakness from the be-
ginning. The petty Quarrels and bick-
