They experienced no serious losses any

There is a particular lesson for st. Pau

made a satisfactory chief executive. as
Mayor Smith has; the former asked re-

citizen, as Mayor Smith does, and he was

PLATFORM AND CANDID Arrs.

The platform on which the candidates
of the local Democracy are about to enter
on their campaign for election is in all
its details an admirable document. 1t
presents succinctly and forcibly the only
issues which are involved in the cam
paign. AS long as Democrats adhere to
the claims made and the facts stated in
that document there is little fear Of tn If
being unable to satisfy the voting popu-
IatIon that the present administration of
Mayor Smith should be sustained.
Man for man, the Democratic candi-
dates will compare favorably, in point of
personal character and special fitness for
the office sought, with their Republican
opponents. 1t is on the merits of the sew
eraI candidates and on the excellence Of
the administration given during the past
two years by a Democratic representative
that the campaign must be fought and
can alone be won.
Democrats do not care to engage in any
mere war of words, or in any campaign Of
personal insult such a has been in
augurated by tie newspaper writer's and
the platform orators of the opposition
There is no need of it. If we are going
to win we must win on our own merits
rather than on the lack of merit of the
others.
Robert A Smith is mayor. So has Mr.
Doran been. The records of the two are
open. The people must decide whether
on the experience of the past two wears
they ought to discard Mayor Smith for
a man whose record as mayor from 1895
to 1883 is well known an understood.
Otto Bremen has been city treasurer for
one year. He was selected because the
people thought he was particularly ' II
qualified by experience and character for
the position. Their experience since has
sustained that view. His opponent is a
reputable citizen, engaged in business and
fulfilling a useful function in daily life
He has no known special qualification for
the work of handling the citv's finances
He IS understood to be candidate
rather as a matter of party devotion than
with any view to being elected. And. as
between the two men, the voters certainly
ought to be able to judge without de-
crying either.
The opposing candidates for comptrotIer
are equally well known. Mr.. Betz is a
prosperous business man and an exper1
accountant. Mr.. McCardy has stood IN
the glare of public discussion and scrutiny

HORSES TAIL IS FALSE

AND HORRIFIES OCCUPANT
Disease Took the Original Flowing
AdOrnment and Master Tried to
Conceal Disagreement by
Artificial Hair.

NEW YORK, April ct is safe to say
that when Thomas Barry known among
cabbies as Foxy Grandpa purchased
a false tail for his horse, RAT Tail" he
had no suspicion that this act of kindness
would almost land him in jail
RAT Tall through some ailment had
lost every hair in the aforesaid tail It
caused much amusement to the cabbies
and much wounded pride to Barry He
rectified it by purchasing false tail that
looked almost as natural as the real one,
especially at night.
Barry had a call at the Twenty-fourth
street entrance of a hotel at D. m A
handsomely gowned woman ordered him
to take her to an address in Fifth avenue.
She entered the cab and Foxy Grandma
gathered the reins. One of them had
caught under the horses tail. Barry tried
to yank it loose and in doing so the
whole tail came off.
The woman looked forth just in time to
see the tail drop. She was out of the
cab in an instant.
You villain, you have pulled that poor
horses tail off," she screamed. 81 will
have you arrested. l am a member Of
the S. c. P. A. and L will report you in
the morning. Police! Police!
Policeman Betz rushed across the
street A crowd gathered. Foor Barry
stood with the detached tail in his hand.
In vain he tried to explain that the tail
was a false one. Rat TaiP' looked
around in silent sympathy.
The woman, almost too angry to speak,
commanded the policeman to arrest Bar
ry. The crowd increased. The policeman
waited for an opening and finally found
chance to explain the situation to the
woman. She was increduIous at first. but
on being convinced, made a rush for
another cab and drove off amid the shouts
of the spectators Barry regarded his
horse sorrowfuIly

purpose Of discussing plans for the new
building.
The meeting was informal In it's nature.

taken. The proceedings merely took the

were, to a certain extent. crystaIized in

Of the two candidates for comptroller be-
ing well understood.
In point of ability, character and Mt
ness the gentlemen who are nominated on
the Democratic ticket for judge Of the
municipal court are the equals if not the
superiors of those opposing them; While
the Democratic assembly ticket represents
one of the strongest aggregations or
names for public office that has ever been
presented at any time by any party IN
this community. The aldermantc nom1-
rees are all strong men. There ought
to be no question whatever of Democratic
success in many Of the wards in which,
like the Fifth, among others, the uncesir-
ableness Of the Republican nominee is
generally recognized
We know the lines on which this con-
test ought to be fought, and we VIII ad-
here to them. This is not true OF our op-
ponents. They are at war among them
selves as to the particular pretexts on
which they ought to appeal to the COM
munity to save them from defeat. One
element representing the blackguardism
of the party, has decided on a campaign
Of personal infamy. Another, led by Nc
Cardy, seeks to deceive the people by
straightforward performances in figures.
Still another thinks that Mr. DOran S
backbone ought to be put in evidence and
kept in evidence throughout the campaign,
as an object lesson of what the city might
gain by his selection once more as its
mayor.

FIFTEEN MILLIONS INCREASE.
Inc gross earnings of American rail-
ways for the calendar year 1901, as sum-
married by the New York Commercial
and Financial Chronicle, gives the coun.
try a good idea of Northwestern growth
and development, as well as an intel
hgent conception of the financial re-
sources of the Northern railway system
of which the Great Northern, the North
ern Pacific and the Burlington are the
three cooperative factors
1t is Significant, that in the entire
list of American railways the Northwest
has two, of the five railroads showing
the largest volume of increase in 1901
gross earnings as compared with 1900
The Northern Pacific stands fourth in
the total list with an increase of Sc. 1856
$50 The Great Northern comes fifth
with an increase of $4,945, 100; while The
Burlington stands at the head of the
Chicago roads with an increase of So

The New York Central, which is known
in two hemispheres as one of the great
est railways in the world, ranked sixth
in volume of gross earnings increase
coming next after the Great Northern.
The Canadian Pacific ranked tenth, and
the Union Pacific twelfth. Of the Chi
cago roads, the Rock Island" ranked
next after the Burlington; then came in
order the Northwestern, the s.Mil-
waukee," the Omaha" and the "Grnat
Western
The aggregate increase of the three
roads constituting the reorganized North
ern system was $15, AS, 13S, or upwards of Il
per cent upon the total volume of gross
earnings The first year of the coon
Grafton of the three roads under one
financial control, therefore, has been
eminently satisfactory from the stand
point of volume of traffic. It sneaks
not only for successful traffic manage.
ment, but for the growing resources Of
the Northwest whose transportation in

stock of the Burlington, giving for it q

showing that takes care of the guaranty.
The new fiscal year up to the date of
the latest monthly report-July to
March 1-makes a stronger showing for
the two Northern roads, than even the
calendar year. For the eight months of
the new fiscal year, the Great l>orthern
reports $25, 318, 431, as compared with
$40, 428, 726 for the same period the year
before-an increase of $3.50 O5, or 80 per
cent For the eight months and two
weeks, July 1 to March Is, the Northern
Pacific reports $30,134,OS5, as compared
with $23, S16, 4S4 for the same period last
year-an increase Of $6,317,501, or IS per
cent.
By reason Of the severe drought of last
summer in the central western corn bent,
it was feared that Burlington earnings
would suffer. But for the eight months
Of the new fiscal year Burlington gross
earnings are $50, 694, 6O4, as compared with
$50, 2O0078 for the same period the year
before-an increase of 81, 1874 526, or 8 per
cent, instead of a decrease. For the
eight months of the cur ent fiscal year,
therefore, the aggregate gross earnings
volume of increase for the three roads
of the Northern system is $14, 699, 49, which
is 20 per cent above the total for the cor
responding two-thirds of the previous
fiscal year.
There is no more accurate and reliable
index Of industrial growth and CONNER

railway traffic The above traffic figures
give the world convincing information in
regard to the develc- ment Of the upper

They also speak significantly of the pros
porous growth of one Of the greatest
transportation enterprises known to tie
