Fifty-seventh congress"
NEW YORK. Nov, CONTRARY to
general expectations both political
parties are giving a whirlwind finish
TO their respective campaigns in
Greater New York. The last few
days have been the liveliest of all and
have made up for the quiet that char
acterized the earlier part of the cam
paign. For tonight scores of politi-
cal meetings, both Democratic and
Republican, are scheduled for all
parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Every effort is being made by the
party managers to roll up a heavy
vote next Tuesday.
HARRISBURG. Pa. Nov. 1.-One
of the most spirited political cam
paigns Pennsylvania has witnessed in
recent years is being brought to
close today with rousing rallies in
every county of the state Neither
side is leaving a stone unturned in
its effort to score a victory at the
polls next Tuesday. The Republi-
can campaign managers declare them
selves satisfied with the outlook and
appear confident that their ticket.
headed by ex-Judge Samuel w. Pen.
nypacker. will win out by large ma.
jority.
On the other hand, the Democrats.
with Ex-Governor Robert II. Patter-
son as their standard-bearer, believe
they have an excellent chance of
sweeping the state, Notwithstanding
the big normal Republican majority.
Assisting the regular Democrats are
the independent Republicans, who are
opposed to Quayism, and thousands
of admirers of John p. Elkin. who be
lieve that the latter was cheated out
of the Republican nomination through

GREAT RAILROAD EPOCH.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The be-
ginning Of the second half Of 1902
sees the railroads of the United
States 0 the zoe, 000-mile line.
Construction during the last six
months was not especially active,
though it vas larger than last years
corresponding time, but the total
which had been reached by the end of
1901 was so near the 200, 000-mile
mark that that line was certain to be
PASSED long before 1902 neared its
close. 1t is only by comparing this
mileage with that of some of the rest
of the great countries that the Amer
lean people fully realize the ire
mendous development which has TAX
en- place in this field in their own land.
Figures of railroad activities for the
world at large are not very trust
worthy. but taking those which are
most recent and reliable the United
States is seen to be far ahead Of any
other country. Germany has about
$4,000, miles of main track; Russia,
$4,000; France, $4,000; Austria-Hun-
gary, $4,000; Great Britain and Ire
land, $4,000, while no other European
country has as many as 10000 miles.
All of Europe has about 175,00O miles
of read, or considerably less than the
United States, while the entire worlds
mileage is approximately 100000,
of which the United States furnishes
two-ifths.
All this railroad construction has
come in about two generations of
time. When John Stevens in 1922 got
a charter from the Pennsylvania legis-
lature to build a railroad from Phil
adelphia to Columbia, on the Susque-
hanna (Which was never built) some
body asked one of the Pennsylvania
papers, What is a railroad, anyhow"
The editor gave it up, but said that
perhaps some other correspondent
can tell"
1t is only seventy-four years on the
Fourth Of July since work was started
on the construction Of the first of
Americas great roads; it is only fifty
one years since the waters of the west
at Lake Erie. were first reached by
through rail from the Atlantic coast,
and as recently as Appomattox there
were only $4,000 miles of main track
in the whole country, as compared
with 200, 900 miles now.

REMEDY LIES ELSEWHERE.

The Helena Independent, which is
the official mouth-piece of the demo-
cratic state administration in most
matters, is rather in accord with the
people of the state in the demand
made for a more just and equitable as
sessment Of railway property. Re-
Gently the Independent said editorial
ly on this subject:
1.-THE people of Montana are not in
debt to the railways of this state;
not to the extent of one penny. The
railways charge the people in freight
and passenger rates all that the traf-
fc will bear The law of
this state says that property shall be
assessed for taxation all that the
property is worth. The railways are
not complaining that this is an unjust
law. They have no complaint against
the law so long as they can circumvent
it by m%isstating the value of their
property, thus escaping the payment
of tax-burdens that they should bear.
"Now is the accepted time for the

THE TARIFF REMEDY.

"The favorite remedy with many
congressman who are after the
trusts" remarks the Boston Tran
script, sis to remove the customs
duties on all trust-made goods. This
sounds well-to those who want to
hear it, but in operation it would lay
the industry Of the country PROSTATE
at the feet of foreigners, since there
is no way conceivable of so legislat-
ing as to discriminate effectively be-
tween goods made by combinations
and those made by private individuals
in the application of the tariff. The
individual would suffer with the COM
bination. The business would be sim
ply transferred to the foreigner, for
they have combinations abroad as
we'll as here"
Those who propose to apply the tar
if remedy to the industrial combina-
tons. or so-called trusts, do not in
dictate how this could be done with
out affecting the individual manu-
facturer. There are a great many in
dependent industries in the country
which produce similar articles with
the trusts and these would necessar.
lily be affected by the removal of the
tariff on such articles, for as the
Transcript says, there is no way con
ceivable of so legislating as to dis
criminate effectively between goods
made by private individuals in the
application of the tariff. 1t is easy
20 understand the adocacy Of this pol
icy by free traders, but difficult tc
comprehend how a friend of protec
ton can favor it.

requirement as for the Russian bat

at the yard. In most respects the
Maine and the Retivesan are alike.
There was a delay in the construc-

a CONVENTIONS.

Montana is a notable exception tC
nearly all the states of the union in
the matter of time for holding its
political conventions. Already most
states have placed their congressional
and state tickets in the field while
others have fixed the time for holding
party conventions at an early date,
But in this state the idea seems to
prevail among the leaders of both
political parties that it is in bad form
to hold these biennial meetings earlier
that the month of September and some
even go so far as to- suggest that
October would be the proper month
for these political gatherings. i
In a state with as much area to
cover as is the case in Montana,
speakers and candidates alike are
obliged to- owe too much ground in
the limited time before the elections
when conventions r. held in Sep

and congressional honors to fill all
the engagements made upon them

spective counties in the state, and in
consequence of limited time towns
and settlements are frequently over
looked in the assignment Of rostrum
"spellbinders,'' when possibly no in
tention of sighting anyone by the
state organization was intended.
Viewing the matter from the stand
point of a republican, The Gazette
believes that no harm can come to the
party in the state were it's conven-
lions held at an earlier period than
has heretofore been the custom. We
believe that it would be to the party's
advantage in the state generally were
the state conventions held in July Or
early in August instead of Septem-
Der, as that would give the party time
to do effective missionary work in
the rural districts, where the repub-
lican party is the stronger of the two
political parties and to which local
tiles the republicans must lock for
large gains if it's leaders hope to re-
deem the state politically.

TIME FOR ACTION.

While probably not yet fully realiz-
men of this community will soon see
that they will be obliged through
force of circumstances to take some
action looking to the establishment
in the town of manufacturing enter
prises. For reasons which are not
necessary here to melton, trade which
formerly %centered here has been cut
off. 1t cannot possibly be %regained,
except in a wholesale way to some
extent, and even that is an uncer-
tainty. %
: Frequently during the last few
years The Gazette has advocated that
action be taken by the business men
looking to the establishment of GER
tain manufacturing enterprises. While
the paper fully realizes that it's ad-
vocacy upon these lines have been
words wasted, it does not, however,
despair and still thinks that the time
will come when some united effort
will be made by the people controlling
the finances toward creating
a payroll in the community
if they would longer expect to SEE
their own business prosper as it has
in the past.
OF course it must be admitted that
only certain lines of manufacture can
be established here and made to pros
per. But even for these no one at
this writing has been found in the
city who would take the initiative
by offering, to subscribe literally of
the stock or even make an %investiga-
ton of the merits of such establish
ments which have been built up and
made prosperous in other western
communities where the conditions
were identically as they are in this
immediate locality today.
Billings will soon reach it's growth
unless the people here wake up and
conclude to, do something in the way
of creating a payroll in the town.
