THE ENGINEER.

Do YOU ever think of an engineer
When you reach your journeys
end?
Do you never grasp him by the hand
Or greet him as Il friend?
Are your prayers for him. at fall OF
night.
As the great train starts away?
Does your heart go out to him in
thanks
When he brings you home at day?
His wife and children he leaves be-
hind
With a prayer to God on high,
And he takes his stand in the engine
cab.
y hero. to do or die!
Ali through long hours he is pecring
ahead,
Your safety depends ON his vigilant
eve.
As he watches that naught goes
wrong.
In the dead of night his whistle tells
OF the watch he keeps so well;
Are your thoughts with him as he
rushcs by
And YOU hear his warning bell?
His clothing is rough and his visage
grim.
But his heart beats big and true;
He asks no praise for the work he
does.
But the thanks should come from
YOU.
Then gratefully think of the engineer.
And hail him Il hero bold
y plain man doing his duty well.
For love of il rather than gold,
Minneapolis Tribune.

A Senatorial Vacancr.

Senator William F. Harris, of Fer
T-is. who died a few months ago, was
elected in 1890 from the old 2sth dis
trict. composed of the counties of
Hancock McDOnOugh and Schuyler.
He was democrat and was elected
by a plurality of 327 over Charles s.
DeHart. Under the law he would
hold his office until 1904 as represent
ing an even-numbered district. in
spite of the new republican appor-
tionment which materially changed
his territory. BY his death vacan-
cy of more than two years in his
term of office is created and the nat
uraI presumption of the Quincy
Herald is that the vacancy must be
filled from the old district.
The republicans. however. would
prefer a choice from the new district
and are trying TO persuade an opinion
rs to its legality from the supreme
court. The new district is the 32d
and is comprised of the counties of
Hancock. McDonough and Warren.
1t has normal republican majority

The Staggering Cost of Conquest

Notwithstanding that we are i'm
the twentieth century-the era of
the Hague conference and wireless
telegraphy-the world is spending
more on warIike preparations than
ever before. The Philippine conquest
has already cost the taxpayers of the
United States $500. 900, 900 or more. and
expense is going on at rate of S12,-
100000 month. Great Britain has
spent more than a billion of dollars
on the Boer war. This is the sum
the wars of Napoleon cost France in
thirteen years. Great Britain has
equalled il in Il war with Il small
power in three years, not counting
the cost of it's navy.
Lloyd George estimates the cost to
Great Britain of completing the con-
quest of the Beers at $4,000, 0OO. 900,
This equals the weight in gold of
every Boer in arms during the war.
1t is $50 an acre for the entire area
of the two republican, eXtravagant
price. quite aside from the cost in
death and suffering.
Surely Kruger was not far wrong
when he said at the beginning of TIE
war. that the price to be paid by
Great Britain i'm the contest would

Commissioners Plan Little Puz-

| The District Commissioners, 1t IS un-

comes within the limit of 81 100000. This

of the House Committee on Appropria-
tions at the suggestion of Secretary Gage
in his report to Congress on the District
finances.
The Commissioners have addressed
themselves TO it for several weeks, and it
is understood that their report is now
being prepared to be submitted next week
to the committee. This report probably
will not be made public by the Commits
sioners, and just what the revised list
may contain cannot be stated with exact
ness, because the report to the sub-com-
mittee is regarded in the light of con-
fidential communication.
1t is stated, however, that the Commits

Special Legislation Needed.

Ii Is well understood that neither the
Commissioners nor the members Of the
committees of Congress regard this as the
final solution OF the problem. To place
the limit of appropriations for District
expenses so low as $500 coo. would mean
the cessation of progress in street i'm
provement, sewers. and extension of the
water service. II would mean even retro
gression in almost every department of
the municipal government.
The fact is recognized that special leg
islation is needed to relieve the stress
upon the District financ:e so that the es-
Inmates could stand pretty much as the
Commissioners first submitted them. It
is, therefore confidently expected that
when such legislation shall have been
framed the House Committee on
Appropriations will not fee! called upon
to insist strenuously on the reduction of
the District expenditures to the limit
named.
In that case the wisdom of the alterna-
tive estimates as they are being prepared
will be recognized.
