THE MISSOURI MULE,

The shipments of horses and mules
to South Africa by the British have
just passed the 100000 mark. and
requisition upon the remount station
in this country for $4,000 more has
just been received. This expectation
of these animals is the largest the
world has ever known. and as a mill
tary purchase by one country from
another it ranks with the greatest of
any kind.
Texas has been practically drained
and Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming and
other stock-raising states of the south
and west have been so nearly depleted
that the $40 animals of 1899 bring
800 today.

A NEW railroad engine is being
built in a western shop which. if it
accOmplishes the sanguine hopes and
predictions of its inventor, will result
in a radical revolution in the con-
struction of locomotives. This new
mechanical prodigy differs from other
engines in that it has the engineers
and iremAn's cabs out in front in
stead of the rear of the boiler, thus
affordiDg the men in the cab an I'M
INSTRUCTED view of the track ahead.

ROOSEVELT AND THE SHIP SUBSIDY.
1t is believed that President Roose-
welt does not favor the ship subsidy
bill so strongly backed by Senators
Hanna and Frye and the syndicate in
huences for whose exclusive benefit
the measure was drawn and who alone
would profit from its passage. There
would be nothing surprising in the
fact of President Roosevelt's opposi-
ton to this bill. His career thus far
has shown him to be suspicious of
the syndicates. There has always
been, in fact, a syndicate alignment
against Roosevelt. 1t was never
more plainly shown than in Hanna
half-contemptuous bearing toward
Roosevelt during the progress of the
last repub lean national convention.
Roosevelt in public life was feared by
the syndicates as a man who could
not be absolutely counted on to do
the syndicates' bidding.
President Roosevelt doubtless clear
ly psrceives that the ship subsidy
bill will impose tax burden of $780,

ONE of the most colossal financial
and industrial schemes of modern
times has just been inaugursted in
the state of Washington, where a syn
dIcate has been capitalized at $780,
GOO, GOO for the purpose of connecting
the United States with Europe by
rail. A railroad is TO be constructed
from Circle City, Alaska, to the ex-
IRENE northwestern point of the con-
tinent, and thence by means Of steel
ferry boats, trains will be conveyed
across Boring strait to the Siberian
coast. Here connection will be had
with the Transiberian line. which
leads to st. Petersburg. Thus in
time the victim of seasickness may 60
by rail to Europe. The fact that such
magnates as HILL and Morgan are in
terested in the undertaking is the
most positive assurance that it will be
carried to a successful conclusion.

The election in New York will be
watched with the closest interest
throughout the country The demo-
Gratis have nominated for mayor Ed
ward NJ. Shepard. The fusion forces
have chosen Seth Low, the president
of Columbia university. On their
personal merits there is little to
choose between them. Each is worthy
of the confidence and respect of the
citizens of Greater New York. But
there is no good reason why any dem
ocrat should vote for Seth Low in
preference to such a man as Mr.
Shepard. who is qualified for the
great office.

900. 600 on the people for the further
enrichment Of the syndicates. He
will not miss the Significance of the
fact that all the Influences urg-
ing the passage of the measure
9uestionably knows that the national
sentiment against the bill is what pre-
vented its passage at the last session
If congress. 1t was a case of the peo-
ule against the privileged few. and the
people made their will so clear that
congress dared not pass the ship sub
sidy bill. For once the power of
Hanna and the monopolists behind
dauna was not equal to the task of
overcoming the popular will. The
repoI tinkering on the ship subsi-
dy bill seems to indicate that it's
hackers recognize that they have
big Job on their hands in the attempt
to compel the bills passage at the
next session of congress. IL is ad-
visable to watch the results of this
tinkering- There is net much likeli-
hood that the bill will be so changed as
to eliminate the graft" which it con-
tains for the syndicates in whose be-
half Senators Hanna and Frye are
working But there is 4 strong prob
ability that powerful pressure will be
brought to bear on President Roose-
vel: to force, his support OF the ship
subsidy bill.
The ultimate result should give a
reliable indication of what is to be ex-
pected of the president in the line of
faithful service to all the people.

IT is reported that Siberia is devel-

many years ago school children were
taught that Siberia was naught but a

was, though, when the region now
known as the Dakotas was spoken of
in much the same way. Men can

D4DY WON'T Run CAMPAIGN.
HE SAYS HE WILL. RESIGN AS CHAIRMAN
OF KINGS COUNTY EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

Michael J. Dady, chairman Of the executive
committee of the Kings County Republican
General Committee. announced yesterday that
he would resign from that office as soon as
suitable man for the position could be found
1T is customary for the chairman of the execu-
tive committee to the campaign, said Mr.
Dady whoever runs the coming campaign
ought to stay at Republican headquarters
every day from the beginning of the real work
up TO election. and be bothered by, no other
duties. My work in Havana is apt to call me
away almost any day, and for that reason
would not be able to take charge
Il do not intend to get out of politics" added
Mr. Dady. Let that be clearly understood
will still be active in my own Assembly Dis
trict'
Asked as to who would probably be his sue
cessor, Mr.. Dady said he did not know. but
admitted that 1t might be a good idea to get
an independent-one with some experience in
politics and the time TO spare. When Lieuten-
ant-Governor Woodruff gets back to town to-
day or tomorrow the question to who
viii run the campaign will be thor
oughy discussed. 1t is not thought that Mr..
Woodruff will undertake the active manage
ment himself unless it seems impossible to
secure the proper man. What is desired is a
man of great ability and abundant leisure. who
has not been actively identified with the fac
tional differences in the machine-one who will
be able to harmonic the various elements and
attract the active support Of Independents.
Andrew D. Baird, of the Eastern District and
James Mckeen, of the Ist Assembly District.
have been mentioned. Whether either would
accept the burden of the campaign is not
known.
1t had been supposed that Mr. Dady would
resign his position Election Commissioner
this fall. He stated definitely yesterday that he
would not do until after election, in any
case, and if he did then II would be on account
OF his Havana work, and not for any political

Magistrate Brann. in dismisslng the complaint
said:
There is no proof in this case Of any trespass
