The Chance in Colorado.

One of the sensational things in re-
cent politics is the decline of Populism
in Colorado. That state was of all in
the Union the hottest for free silver in
1896 ard it was Senator Teller of
Colorado who led the boiling silverites
from the Republican national conven-
ton Of that year. Senator Teller, by
the way. is now a candidate for re-
election to the Senate as a Democrat,
and forgetting the copious flow of his
tears as he marched from the St.
Louis convention he now solemnly
solicits Democratic support on the
ground that he has always been a
straight Democrat at heart
In Colorado in 1896 there was almost
a boycott on any person who adhered
to the old Republican party. so violent
~ did the free silver movement rage
in that state. 1t gave Mr.. Bryan q
plurality Of 134.SS2. Four years later
this was cut down to 29.661; now most
Republican. ard it would not surprise
those who know the state best to see a
Republican. z pronounced gold-stand-
ard man. come from ii to the Senate of
the United States. This would be the
most extraordinary example of the
rapidity with which great questions
are sometimes settled by the American
people ahat our recent history records.
If anybody in Colorado. which was
mobbing the apologize defenders of a
qualified gold standard in 1886. had said
that in six years the state would go
over to the gold standard squarely, he
would have found few to believe his
story. THE centennial state is re-
deemed and has returned to the paths
of political sanity and safety.

Eneland's Generosity to the Beers.

The most bitter enemy of Great
Britain must admit that its govern
ment in its treatment of the con-
quered Beers has been extremely gem
erous. It is doubtful if in all history
victorious nation ever conceded so
much to defeated foe. This country
was generous to the South after the
Civil War. but it never made appro-
priations for the widows and orphans
of the southern dead Great Britain.
however. has just voted s15,000000 for
the widows and orphans of the slain
Beers. 1t was under no obligation
whatever to do thistle treaty did not
require and no Boer had any right TO
expect such kindness
And in the face Of such generosity
and consideration, the demands
made by the Boer generals now in
England, when they conferred. this
week. with Secretary Chamberlain,
showed either brazen nerve or an
utter failure to understand their posi-
ton. Among other things which they
cody asked England to grant We're:
complete amnesty to the Capetown
rebels; still greater pensions to BoeI
widows and orphans. and manned
burghers; reinstatement of Boer
officials of the late republics" OF
compensation for loss of office; COM
pensation for property destroyed oil
used by the British: payment of the
Afrikander war debt.
Such requests from the conquered are
unique in history and that England
should grant part of them. or even lis
ten to them, is superlatively to its
credit. If the conqueror in the wars OF
the future is TO compensate the con-
quered for being defeated. it will mean
ar overturning of human affairs and
put an end TO all war. The old phrase
quered'' will then become woe to the
conqueror." However, that has not yet
become the rule in war, and Eng
lands generous treatment Of South
Africa. both in the liberal terms of the
peace treaty and in acts of kindness
since the war ended, is not likely to be
outdone in the immediate future.

Maine for Republican candidates ana
Republican policies.
This plurality may properly be re-
garded as reassuring because II gfcatiy
exceeds those which have been usual
in off years, or indeed in any year
Only three or four times at any Sep
TENDER election during the past twenty
years has the Republican plurality OF
Monday been surpassed; only once or
possibly twice in any September not OF

The average Republican plurality at
all September elections since 1850 is
$4,000; the average in all years not
Presidential has been 10000.
The result this year is attained in
spite of the circumstance, as attested
by the Hon. George F. Hughes of Bath.
Chairman of the Democratic state
Committee, that there has been no
apathy on the part of the opposition,
but, on the contrary, uncommon spirit
and activity. More than ten thousand
Democrats. according to Mr.. Hughes.

stayed away last year: and their total
vote closely approached tnat Oh i9oo'

The American Locomotive.


The census bulletin on the manufact-
ure of locomotives is full of interesting
things about a splendid industry in
which the United States leads the
world. In spite of its great Importance
there are only IS locomotive manufaet-
uring establishments in the United
States, gain of nine since 1880. One
secret of the success which locomotive
building has attained in America is
that the work is performed by large,
financially powerful and thoroughly
equipped establishments. and not by
many small and weak concerns. These
% locomotive building plants have the
very large capital of s40,S13,00o, no.
table increase over the s24,516,000 of
1890. These IS establishments employ
1899 wage earners, many of them
highly skilled workmen, who earned in
1900 total wages of s10.S99,0 900. These
concerns use material valued at $780,
174.000, and turned out finished prod
ucts valued at $50, 2G9, 900, a large gain
over the s2i,922,000 of 1890. In the
year 1890 2409 locomotives were built
in the United States: in 1900, 277i
This is no very great increase in num-
bers. and no such increase was to be
expected. For the modern railroad
practice is to employ larger, more pow
erful, and, therefore. more costly 10
comotives. instead Of many OF them.
1t is safe 10 say that the average
freight or passenger locomotive of the
present will 90 twice the work of the
old, relatively crude machines of 20 or
so years ago.
Locomotive-bu building is chiefly an in
dustry of the Middle states. Pennsyl-
vania. in 1900. made IS per cent. of the
total product of this industry. New
York was second. with % per cent. The
one New England locomotive plant is
in New Hampshire.
The very first locomotives used on
railroads in this country were of Brit
ish make But our railroad managers
and their government had the wisdom
to see that it would not be safe for the
United States to depend upon Europe
for this Indispensable machinery of ma
tiOnal transportation. American loco
motives. therefore, for many years
have been American-built. The swift
extension of our railways has de-
velOped thorough American type OF
railway engine. radically different from
that of England and the Continent, anu
apparently superior. For our exports
Of locomotives have grown from 161,
valued at S1.2S0000 in 1890. to 525.
valued at S5.5920OO in 1890. These
american locomotives have not only
gone into relatively undeveloped coun-
tries, but they are being used in large
numbers in England, France and Rus
sia. The merits which have won them
their high reputation abroad have
been not only their low cost. but the
nigh quality OF their material and
workmanship. and the promptness with
which they can be delivered. Our To-
connective works have applied the
principle of interchangeability of parts.
They have made much use of labor
saving machinery. They have had the
stimulus Of great and steady demand
from American railroads. They have.
therefore. operating continuously on
large scale reduced the cost of produc-
ton to Il figure which enables them TO
compete with the cheaper wages Of

The Philadelphia Press vigorou

The Philadelphia Press vigorously
answers those Democratic papers
which say that the Republican victory
in Maine is no more significant than
the Democratic victory in Arkansas.
Those papers do not seem to remember
that the Republican National Congress
sional committee did not send any
speakers to Arkansas and made no
boasts Of what great things it was go
ing to do in that state The Demo-
cratic National Congressional COM
mittee did both in respect to Maine.
The difference amounts. then. to just
this: The Republicans tried no bluff
game in Arkansas and lost, just as
they expected. The Democrats did try
a BLUR game in this State and came
out in much. worse condition than they
expected.

One Year Ago.

One year ago our country was
plunged in the deepest sorrow it had
known for many years. For a week
President Mckinley, struck down by
the red hand of anarchy. had lowered
between life and. death. The chance
for his recovery seemed bright, hopes
were bouyant, thanksgiving was in the
heart OF. all. when suddenly came the
change for the worse, and with THY
will be done on his lips the beloved
leader of the people, the honored Chief
Magistrate of the great republic, the
Christian gentleman, passed beyond
the finite and the known. The grief
of the country was all the deeper for
the confidence and hope that had fol-
lowed the first great shock.
1t was one year ago, tomorrow, that
William, Mckinley died. The PROPOSE
ton, originating in Ohio. that this
first anniversary be observed in some
appropriate manner in the churches
is worthy the gratitude and the pa
triotic impulses of a great nation. To
pay tribute TO the memory of William
Mckinley is to honor the Christian
virtues. exalted craftsmanship and
the purity Of home life and personal
relations wherever found. Distant, o
far distant. be the day when his mem
DRY is not honored by US with full
hearts and the influence of his life and
public service is no longer a living
force in our land.
