Shelby NJ. Cullom Tells of n Wonderful
Feat OF Engineering.
Shelby NJ Cullom, deputy United
States revenue collector for Ari-
zona, has returned from a trip of
several weeks in southern Arizona
part of which time he spentin Cliff
ton and Morenci. Phoenix knows
that there is a Clifton and Morenci
and that certain amount of copper
is produced in those camps. Be
yond that, this city is less familiar
with those camps than is FL Paso,
the only city that keeps posted on
the affairs of the towns, and its in.
terest lies chiefly in the belief that
before long a new railroad will
connect the copper region with the
Lone Star city.
Mr.. Cullom is enthusiastic. moi
merely over the prospects of Gift.
and Morcnci, hut over what now
exists there.
"Clifton and Morenci and that
region" said he. "can boast of
many wonderful things. For in.
stance, one of the most marvellous
feats Of engineering in the was
performed when recently the con
struction of the Morenci Southern
railroad WAS completed. 1t is
sinnous narrow guage road, built
by the Detroit Copper Mines com.
pany, limited, and is for transport
ing ores and supplies between
Morenci and Gutherie, small town
on the Arizona and New Mexico
line.

guage, whose trains boldly wind
their way over deep gorges and
slender trails, cuts into precipitious
mountain sides. preferred to
ride in "a mountain vehicle. 1t is
worth trip to Morenci to witness
that railroad. The most remark.
able point in the line, is where the
mountains and canyons have form
ed themselves into what appeared
to be an insurmountable obstacle
to railroad construction, but capi-
tai and ingenuity overcame the
difficulties. In half mile of the
track at this point there are four
seperate loupes in which the track
in an elevated position crosses
Itself four separate times. la this
way the small train in series of
corkscreS climbs, makes its way
over an Alpine range of mountain
barriers" - Republican.

The British Government has
leased "Darrel's Island" one of
the largest islands in the sound

has also been inspected, but up to
April "a no definite settlement had
been made IN regard TO it.
The army officials are, as usual,
reticent and nothing can be learn
ed from them on the subject; but
as the blacksmiths Of the tawn
have been sounded as TO their abil-
ity to construct several hundred
yards of IRON fence, very strong,
close, high and with spike points,
and the plans which one or two
have seen are said to be the out
line of one of the islands, very
little doubt is entertained as to the
object in view by the government.
Bermudians are not feeling very
comfortable over the matter. The
island is still garrisoned by the
colored regiment, the First West
India, and their behavior is by no
means calculated to inspire the
confidence of the people they are
supposed TO guard. 1t is hoped
that very strong force of Eu.
ropean soldiers will be sent with

when combined with ignorance, which
unfit men for the exercise of cool and
steady judgment. In facing the indus
trial conditions the whole history of
the world shows that legislation will
generally be both unWise and ineffec-
tive unless undertaken after calm in
quiry and with sober self-restraint.
Much of the legislation directed at
the trusts would have been exceeding
ly mischievous had it not also been
entirely ineffective. In accordance
with a well-known sociological law,
the ignorant or reckless agitator has
been the really effective friend of the
evils which he has been nominally
opposing. In dealing with business
interests, for the government to I'M
dertake by rude and ill-considered
legislation to do what may turn out
to be bad would be to incur the risk
of such f~ar-reaching national disaster
that it would be preferable to under
take nothing at all. The men who de
mand the impossible or the undesir-
able serve as the allies of the forces
with which they are nominally at war,
for they hamper those who would en-
deavor to find out in rational fashion
what the wrongs really are and to

is practicable to supply remedies.
All this is true; and yet it is also
true that there are real and grave
evils, one of the chief being over
capitalization, because. of it's many
baleful consequences; and a ~resolute
and practical effort must be made
to correct these evils.
There is a widespread conviction in
the minds Of the American people
that the great corporations X. nown
as trusts are in certain OF their lea
lures and tendencies hurtful to the
general welfare. This springs from
no spirit Of envy or uncharitableness,
nor lack of pride in the great indus
trial achievements that have placed
this country at the head Of the nations
struggling for commercial supremacy.
It does not rest upon a lack Of intelli-

time when the overlooking abundance
of our own natural resources and the
skill, business energy and mechanical
aptitude of our people make foreign
markets essential. Under such a con-
dition it would be most unwise to
cramp or to fetter the youthful
strength of our nation.
Moreover, it cannot too often be
pointed out that to strike with ig-
norant violence at the interests of n
set of men almost inevitably endan-
gers the interests of all. The
fundamental rule in our national life
the rule which underlies all others
is that, on the whole, and IN the long
run, we shall go up or down together.
There are exceptions; and in times of
prosperity some will prosper far more,
and in times of adversely some will
suffer far more than others; but speak
ing generally, a period of good times
that all share mOr or less in them
and in a period of hard times all feel
the stress to a greater or less degree.
1t surely ought not to be necessary
to enter into any proof OF this state
ment; the memory or the lean years
which began in 1898 is still vivid and
we cannot contrast them with the
conditions in this very year which is
now closing. Disaster to great bust
ness enterprises can have it's
effects limited to the men at the top.
It spreads throughout, and while 1T
is bad for everybody, it is worst for
those farthest down. The capitalist
may be shorn of his luxury, but the
wage worker may be deprived of even
bare necessities.
The mechanism of modern business
is so delicate that extreme care must
be taken not to interferewith it in a
| spirit of rashness or ignorance. Many

| cation to denounce the great industrial

Washington, Dec. 3.-Not in many
years have members of the house
listened with such rapt attention to
the annual message of a president OF
the. United States as they did today to
the reading OF the first message of
President Roosevelt. Every word was
followed intently, from the announce
ment of the tragic death of President
Mckinley in the opening sentence to
the expression of the closing wish that
our relations with the world would
continue peaceful. The reading Oc-
cupied two hours but not owe a doz-
en- members left their seats until it
was concluded. Several times there
was applause, and at the conclusion
there was an enthusiastic demOnstra-
ton on the republican side.
On motion of Grosvenor of Ohio that
portion Of the message relating to the
death Of the late president was refer
red to a committee to consist of n
member from each state to join a SIM
liar committee of the senate to con-
slider and report by what token of re-
spect and affection it may be proper
for congress to express the deep SEN
sibility of the nation to the tragic
death of the late president. The
speaker appointed the committee,
headed by G%rosvenor, and then as a
further mark of respect the house ad-
journed.

The senate listened to the message
and adopted a resolution directing the
appointment of a committee to CO.
operate with a like committee from
the house to consider by what token
of respect and affection congress
might express the sorrow of the ma
ton upon the tragic death of the late
President Mckinley.
The message was delivered soon af-
ter the senate met. The reading oc-
cupied nearly two and a half hours
and was listened to with marked re-
spect by the senators. The first por-
ton dealing with the Buffalo tragedy,
excited the most profound interest
in the senate.
At the conclusion of the reading Of
the message Foraker, senior senator
from Ohio, presented the Mckinley
resolution, and as a further mark of
respect. the senate adjourned.

benefits all mankind, a only exist
if the conditions are such as to offer
great prizes as the rewards Of success.
The captains of industry who have
driven the railway systems across this
continent, who have built up our com
merce, who have developed u manu-
features, have on the whole done great
good to u people. Without them
the material development of which we
are so justly proud can have
taken place. Moreover, we should
recognize the immense Importance to
this material development of leaving
as unhampered as is compatible with
the public good the strong and force
full men upon whom the success OF
business operations inevitably rests.
The slightest study of business con-
ditions will satisfy anyone capable OF
forming a judgment that the personal
equation is the most important factor
in a business operation; that the bust
ness ability of the man at the head
of any business concern, big or little,
is usually the factor which fixes the
gulf between striking success and
hopeless failure.
An additional reason Tor caution in
dealing with corporations is to be
found in the international CONNER
cial conditions Of today. The same
business conditions which have pro
duced the great aggregations OF cor
porate and individual wealth have
made them very potent factors in inter-
national commercial competition. Bust
ness concerns which have the largest
means at their disposal and are man
aged by the ablest men are naturally
| those which take the lead in the strife

only just begun to assume that com

business world which we believe will

utmost Importance that this position

The congress assemblies this year
under the shadow of a great calamity.
On the 9Th of September President
Mckinley was shot by an anarchist
while attending the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo, and died in that
city on the 14th of that month.
OF the last seven elected presidents
he is the third who has been muir
dered, and the bare recital Of this fact
is sufficient to justify grave alarm
among all loyal American citizens.
Moreover, the circumstances of this,
the third assassination of an American
president, have a peculiarly sinister
significance. Both President Lincoln
and President Garfield were killed by
assassins of types unfortunately not
uncommon in history; President Lin
coin falling a victim to the terrible
passions aroused by four years of civil
war, and President Garfield to the
revengeful vanity of a disappointed
office seeker.
President Mckinley was killed by
an utterly depraved criminal belong
ing to that body Of criminals who OBJ
ject to all governments, good and bad
alike, who are against any form of
popular liberty if it is guaranteed by
ever the most just and liberal laws,
and who are as hostile to the upright
exponent of a free peoples sober will
as to the tyrannical and irresponsible
despot. 1t is not too much to say that
at the time of President McKinley's
death he was the most widely loved
man in all the United States, while
we have had any public mar
of his position who has been so wholly
free from the bitter animosities in
cident to public life. His political
opponents were the first to bear the
heartiest and most generous tribute
to the broad kindness of nature, the
sweetness and gentleness of character
which SO endeared him to his close
associates. To a standard of lofty in
tegrity in public life he united the
tender affections and home virtues
which are all important in the make
up of national character. A gallant
soldier in the great war for the union
he also shOne as an example to al
u people because of his conduc'
in the most sacred and intimate O.
home relations. There could be NJ
personal hatred of him for he never
acted with aught but consideration
for the welfare of others. No on,
could fail to respect him who knew
him in public or private life. TIL,
defenders of those murderous crimi
nails who seek to excuse their crimi
nality by asserting that it is exercised
for political ends, inveigh agains
