The Conservative, 1901-08-01
WESTERN DEMOCRATS FOLLOW
THOSE OF OHIO.

good example to the democracy of the
nation by taking conservative course
1t showed how the party could become
reunited by returning to its time-hon-
ored principles, and shaping in accord
ance with them the policies necessitated
by new conditions. This year it has
proceeded on the same lines, ignoring
altogether the subjects which disrupted
and demoralised the national party, and
caused it's successive defeats. In this
prudent action lies the ground Of a hope
for the reunion of the party.-Cleveland
Plain Dealer (dem.).
Here is the signal for the democrats
of Iowa when they next come together
in state convention at Des Moines. They
will be wise if they do all that their
brethren in Ohio have done, and a little
more. Silverism is as dead as green
backism. 1t has gone into the stage of
decomposition. Why not recognize the
fact and let the dead remain in the
ground?-Davenport Democrat (dem.).
1t is no mere victory of one party fac
ton over another which has been
wrought at Columbus. 1t is rather a
return to true political concepts, which
has been made manifest. The rank and
file of great constitutional party have
had expression given to their better
Judgment. Under such dispensation
of party principle and party policy, all
democrats, whatever their personal
preferences or predictions may be, can
cooperate in the great work that re-
mains to be done. Constitutional land
marks must be re-established the indi-
vidual citizen must be restored to his
true relationship towards his govern
ment, state and federal, and the sacred
principle of the consent of the governed
must be successfully reasserted.-S
Paul Globe (dem.).
The party in Wisconsin has long been
ready for the change indicated by the
result in Ohio, but is undoubtedly more
conservative. 1t is not likely to indulge
in radical reaction, but to take clear and
well-defined ground without seeking to
antagonize any one. This is the only
way to secure reunited party. They
must act on the present and look to the
future; the past is gone; let it bury it's
own enmities. - Milwaukee Journal
(dem.).
The democrats of Ohio are to be con-
graduated. They have achieved great
triumph in platform building. 1t is a
model that is commended to imitation
by those of other states.-Kansas City
Times, (dem.).
The great democratic drunk is over
with. By rights it should have ended 8
year ago.-Chlcago Chronicle (dem.).

Expectoration in Public.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Cannot something he done at once to
abate the nuisance of eXpectorating on the
Sidewalks OF our beautiful city? The law
applying to street cars, theaters, etc, has
proved success and given satisfaction as
far as it goes. Why not amend the law
to extend to our sidewalks? Our finest
thoroughfares, where thousands of ladies
are compelled to walk every day. are de-
filed and rendered luathsome to the sight
and are no doubt a serious menace to the
health
These horrible expectoratiOns from mul-
tiude of diseased thrOats and lungs, that
meet the eye and nauSeate the stomach at
every step, are rapidly dried and pulverized
into dust, and when blown by the wind
become part Of the atmosphere we breathe.
Many cases of sickness and, perhaps, many
deaths traceable to this abomination.
If men must eXpectorate let them be COM
PEELED to step aside to the gutter In the
name Of decency and pro bono publico."

Snow SuuaII Scared Folks.
Just as the 5th of March was about to
change into the 9Th last night there was a
snow squall that led many who were caught
in it to believe that blizzard was begin
ming to pay a visit, such as it did two years
ago. The exhibition was over in a few
minutes, however, and the sky cleared with
unusual celerity.
The morning broke clear and cold,
the half gale blowing from the northwest
and the sudden change from the mider tenn
pera ture of Monday and yesterday fore
noon made the temperature feel particularly
frigid and mufflers and ulsters were unsea-
scnably noticeable.

PIPER PEOPLE PROTEST.
They Want the Z. C. N. W. to Re-
open the Railway Station.

The Kansas City Northwestern Rail-
way company is stirring up trouble be-
cause it has recently discontinued a
number of its stations in Wyandotte
and Leavenworth counties. The citi-
zens of Piper today filed complaint
seventy citizens, complaining of such
action on the part of the road at that
point The road has also abandoned
its stations at Ontario, Bethel and
Wallula.
The Piper conplaint claims that the
citizens of that community have a con-
tract with the road whereby it agreed
Sideration of the people laying out a
townsite of forty acres and giving the
railroad company every alternate lot
and also right of way for tracks and
switches. The contract has been OBJ
served from 1887 until ten days ago. On
December 1 the railroad company with
drew its agent and locked up it's depot.
Since then freight consigned to the
merchants at Piper is sent to Menage
Junction, mile and a half away. This
is said to be away from a public high
way, and the Piper company say they
have to carry their freight some dis
tance and put it over a. wire fence to
reach a highway.
Railroad Commissioner A D. Walker
said today that the contract probably
is of no force in the controversy, as the
road has changed hands since it was
made and an opinion has been render
ed by the attorney general stating that
a railroad company is not bound by the
contracts of it's predecessor in an in
stance of this character, but that the
people have rights in the matter of sta
ton facilities, and the matter will be
taken up with the Northwestern COM
Dany at once.

CUTTING FREIGHT RATES.
Open War Declared at Denver by the
Traffic Agents.

Denver, Dec. 12-The News today
says: Despite the announcement of an
lronclad agreement between the trans
missouri lines made several weeks ago,
that freight rates We're to be maintained
at all hazards, the closing days Of the
present year bid fair to witness the
most vigorous rate war that the west
has experienced for a number of years.
Within the past few days agents of
the various trarsnlissouri carriers have
been quietly cutting rates on carload
lots, and yesterday all subterfuge was
thrown to the winds and an open
slashing inaugurated by all lines. The
war is limited to freight in carload lots,
and it is openly conceded that the end
of the week will find agents bidding for
freight on a 25 cent rate from Chicago.
The regular rate on fifth class freight,
which includes in its classification prac-
tically everything shipped in carload
lots, IS 81 cents. Rates of 40 cents per
100 in carload lots were made in Den
Yer yesterday, and it is expected the
slash will continue merrily until the end
of the year. After the first of the year
it is expected that the customary res
toration of rates will ensue.

MORE DIVISION CHANGES.
Wichita Branch of Santa Fe Added to
the Panhandle Division.

In addition to the change in the di-
vision headquarters of the Oklahoma
division from Wichita to Arkansas City,
and the extension of the middle divis
ion to Arkansas City. as announced on
Tuesday by the Santa Fe, there have
been several other important changes
made in the Santa Fee lines of southern
Kansas.
The Wichita branch, which extends
from Wichita to Pratt a distance of
over 100 miles, has been taken out of
the Oklahoma division and added to the
Panhandle division.
The line from Mulvane to Wellington
which has been in the Panhandle diviS-
ion, about 80 miles long, has been taken
out of the Panhandle division, and ad-
ded to the middle division.
The object of these changes is to con-
centrate the Oklahoma division, and
confine it more closely to the limits of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. 1t is
also deemed advisable to increase the
size of the middle division. which was
materially reduced when the road was
cut in two at Newton to arrange mat
tiers for new general superintendent

TUNNEL UNDER RIVER.
to Take Place of Proposed
$1O,OOOO,OOO Railway Bridge.

New York, Dec. 12.-According to the
Times the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany may construct a tunnel under the
North river in place of the bridge which
that company intended to build in con-
junction with the other railroads which
enter Jersey City, A statement to this
effect has just been made by a member
of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co, who
are fiscal agents for the Pennsylvania
railroad in this city, and who were re-
attempt the formation of a syndicate to
subscribe funds for the building of a
bridge over the North river.
After calculations had been completed
demonstrating that the use by one
railroad alone would not suffice to pay
even a part of the interest on the cap
ital required, an effort was made to get
the Erie, Lackawanna, the Lehigh VAL
ley and the Jersey Central to join in the
use of the bridge at the same time, MAX
ing the structure broad enough to sup
port at least six tracks. These roads,
however, could not be brought into a
harmonious agreement. Finally the firm
of Jacobs & Davies, civil engineers, was
requested to draw plans for the con-
Struction of a tunnel under the Hud-
son river to be used only by the Penn
sylvania railroad and it's connections,
and to estimate the cost of such a
tunnel.
It has been learned that If these plans
will insure sufficient return the
capital invested the construction of a
tunnel will be commenced. The cost
of building a bridge over the North
river is estimated at something like
100000, 900. The building of the tunnel
under the East river for the Long ISL
and road would cost only about IS 000,-
900. The tunnel under the North river
would, however, be much more costly,

A NEW DANGER.
RAILROAD Gazette" Comments on the
Recent Santa Fe Wreck.

Commenting on the California Linn
tied wreck, the Railroad Gazette says:
The lesson that with new improve
ments we are pretty likely to encounter
some new difficulty is also enforced by
another accident which has recently
been reported, the butting collision of
two heavy and luxurious California
Lin tied express trains at Franconia,
Arizona, November 20, where seven men
were killed. This collision was terri
BILE one, SIM ply as collision; but fire
broke out in the wreck and two dining
cars, two composite cars and one
sleeping car were burnt up The ire
is said to have been greatly intensi-
fied-and this is the new feature to
which we allude-by the oil in the ten
der of one of the three locomotives,
of two firemen and one dining car wait
losses of life and property by the burn
prevent collisions; and we may expect
that so notable disaster as this will
be followed by effective measures in
this direction; but somehow, from one
cause or another, distressing collisions
continue. In this case the passengers
escaped harm. almost entirely, thanks
to the vestibules and the strong con-
Struction of the car frames. This marks
the great improvement which has taken
place in car building during the past
few years, and is cause for congratula-
ton Nevertheless, a collision like this
helps to swell-and to call to public at
tention in B. very disagreeable way-a
