"Where is Representative Grosve- nor?" asks the Washington Post. "The campaign is within eight weeks of its conclusion, and Old Reliable has not come forward with his figures. Some thing is radically wrong. A campaign without Grosvenor's predictions is an anomaly. His silence creates sn ach- ing void. It is easy to vividly recall the exciting days when he first ap- peared us the only real and genuine of- ticial forecaster- when he used to pre- pare and furnish to the waiting news paper correspondents each Saturday night his little table of Mckinley dele gates Each week the column grew longer, and Grovenor's white whisa- cred countenance broadeDed with happy smiles. Reeds managers looked at the figures and scoffed. All the other would-be candidates said that Grosyenor was an expert liar. They didn't know and Grosvenor did His figures came out all right at the end, and he was content"

Impatience is perhaps the worst trai

Impatience is perhaps the worst trait in the average stockholder in mining companies. says an exchange. A few months after purchasing stock he is looking for dividends, entirely ignor- ant of the fact that it requires time, money and labor to place mine on a paying bsis. The immense profits from mines are not the result of a few months work. Patience and conf. dence and little "horse sense" helps development wonderfully.

Some of the republican papers of southern Arizona persist in urging B. A. Fowler for congress, after that gen teman's positive refusal to stand for the nomination. Mir. Fowler has Q very good government job now, promot- ing irrigating enterprises and organiz- Ing water users associations in connec- ton herewith. This work doubtless pays him handsomely, and he is not going to be so foolish as to sacrifice himself for the good of the G. O. P. of Arizona.

The renublicans in Wast V;roi,

The republicans in West Virginia are making terrific struggle to get the railroads that traverse that state to help them in the campaign. With three or four big railroad corporations pulling their way they think the result would no longer be in doubt. They seem to be woll pleased with the nego- tiations thus far, and say it Is one el' the reasons they are feeling better about conditions.

It is gratifying to learn that there is strong hope that the worlds fair, which has been pronounced the grand est international exposition ever held, will not be failure financially.

Though S65, 900 day must be set aside for running expenses and the government loan, there is q margin on the right side in the receipts This gratifying fact marks the complete success of the great undertaking in all respects,

 but their insuficiency soon became ap- parent, and in spite of every effort to increase their carrying capacity-even the recent change from steam to cleo tric power-they have steadily fallen further and further behind the de, mands put upon them What the rate of increase of these demands has been is best indicated by the figures of the north and south travel-the principal component of the total city traffic, and the only one directly affected by the additional facilities afforded by the subway we are reviewing These fig ures were, for 1892, 391, 100000; for 1896, 440,O00,OOO; for 1899, 553, 100000 Pand for 1902, 627,OOO,OOO. Rapid tran. sit legislation was passed, and con- missions, were appointed in 1890 ana 1891; but no definite project was ac- tually advanced to the stage of con. struction until the present commission, appointed in 1894, had been in office for some years. The general outlines of the subway scheme were settled in 1897, and the plans submitted to bid ders and the contracts let in 1900.

Campaigns were never won by any such outburst of slush as the follow ing from the New Haven Leader: "The fragile democratic bark, which is kept afioat only by the desperate efforts of the worst set of political gamblers and blacklegs that ever imposed themselves upon a party, is almost down to the waters edge, so that such a shock as the Sun has given it has filled with trepidation and terror, lest it sink, the mongrel horde of supporters, from Auugst Belmont, the plutocrat of gold-platter- ed breakfast tables, down to Murphy, swinging the red light of the New York slums. Probably there never has been mustered worse lot of un- principled political mountebanks and tricksters, from Dave Hill, the cleo ~ tion return thief, down to Tom Tag gart, who owns a gambling den in In- diana, than that which is now engf- neer1ng the canvass of Judge Par- ker." Such a tirade will have the same effect as Burchard's three R's had in the Blaine campaign.

Labor troubles are still an unset inasmuch as they tend to impoverish a large number of consumers and to put an emphatic restraint upon all new constructive enterprise, says Banker Clews in his weekly effusion. There seems to be no hope for better ment in this respect until labor learns by dearly bought experience the necessity of choosing sane and safe leaders; men who can under stand the many sides to business problems and who appreciate the stubborn fact that labor cannot take more than its due share out of the to- tai production by force without in- jury to all, and ultimately to its own most serious detriment. Out of the industrial war now in progress some good may result if it teaches the un- ions that conservative and not radiVal leadership will be for the best inter ests of both labor and capital, which prosper only in peace and not in war. The market shows an improving un- dertone; but the unsettling influences noted above encourage proft-taking and more or less reactionary tenden- cies. Should the crops continue free from damage the market is likely to see even higher figures for railroad shares; but much still depends, as al ready said, upon the corn harvest. The iron trade has been strengthened by a curtailment of pig iron product, amounting to one-third of capacity forthe last three months; still, the possibility that the break in steel wire may disturb other pools and agreements in the steel trade is an un- settling feature that cannot be ignor- ed in the stock market. We may therefore see. some sharp reactions, but good railroad shares should be a purchase at such times.

DAVIS IN BUSINESS
Sample of the Vice Presidential
 Nominee's Sagacity.

NOmfnee's Sagacity.
 Walter Crowder of West Virginia tells a number of good stories about thes business sagacity of ex-Senator Henry G. Davis, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, says the Kansas City Journal Here is one:
 About thirty years ago he wanted to buy some coal lands without letting the owner know he wanted them. The owner wanted to sell without letting Davis know he wanted to. It took the two long time to get together, so ex- cessively cautious were they. Finally, however, they met and came abruptly to the scratch. ...,
 How much? asked Davis.
 "'A cool million and not cent less, the other replied.
 "'Give you S150,Oo0,' said Davis, and not cent more'
 "In less than two hours Davis got the property for $40O,OOO and made a splendid bargain. After everything was settled and the money paid over Davis said:
 "'Why did you ask me $1,Qo0,OOo for that land? The seller replied:
 "tBecause I thought you'd be fool enough to give it. Why did you offer me $15O,OoO? .
 "'Because I thought you'd be fool enough to take it. They laughed wink ed shook hands. and have been close friends ever since''

CANES FOR WOMEN.
BejeweIed Walking Sticks the Fad
 In Newport.

BejeweIed Walking Sticks the Fad
 In Newport.
 Society has taken to the jeweled cane. Just why no one seems to know, but walking sticks with jewels are now the fad in Newport, says the New York Evening World.
 It may be that the Coney Island GUS tom of every one coming home with a cane is responsible for it, but the Coney Island cane would scarcely shine alongside the Newport article, which in a way closely resembles the walk ing stick so often seen in the hands of the British officer at Aldershot
 The cane proper is a little bamboo affair not more than two feet in length and is tipped with silver or gold fer rule. It is carried by the women, and it is the handle that costs the money, Some of the sticks are studded with diamonds until they are so heavy with stones and the settings that they are almost weighty enough for weapon.
 Others have various gems in them, and the society leaders in Newport dis playing their canes is one of the sights. It is a fad that will last until the rhine stones and cut glass are used as sub. stitutes.

President Roosevelt said in his speech of acceptance that prosperity has come at home" Are there not many thousands of workingmen who have great reason to feel that pros- perity is departing? Does the army Of striking cotton operatives, whose wages have 1~a,' reduced 225b per cent since 1090, find that wages are higher than ever before?" Do the tens of thousands of employees dis missed by our great railway systems share this roseate view? Are the par ticipants in or the victims of the strike against the exactions of the beef trust throwing up their hats over the full dinner pafl?' Desert ing his early convictions in favor of a freer trade, he cultivates the mono polistic campaign contributors of his party by standing pat for a tariff higher in its average duty than the highest schedules of war time-a tar if which the republicans of Iowa have declared to be a shelter to monopoly" which the republicans of Wisconsin demand shall be revised in the interest of consumers, and which tens of thousands of republicans il Massa chusetts and elsewhere insist shall be modified by a reciprocity treaty with Canada.

Speaking of the work of getting rapid transit in New York and the opening of the subway, a writer ill the Engineering Magazine says: "The land on which New York is built was bought by Peter Minuit in 1926 for SPA. Tn 1882 it had population of 1,120; in 1731 of 8,256; i'll 1900 of 60,- 4S9; in 1850 of 515,547, while in 1900 Greater New York had a population of 3, ,437 POP. As far back as the mid dle of the last century, the pressure of necessity for rapid transit facilities which could keep pace with this fast growing population began to make it. self felt. For a time the street raiL
 ways were the only answer offered to the problem. The elevated railways. built against much opposition under the rapid transit act of 1875, promised for time to cope with the conditions;

G. 4. R. REUNIONS.

Meetings of Comrades After a Sep-
 aration of Over Forty Years.
 Every encampment of the Grand Ar my of the Republic, says the Boston Herald, has it's unexpected meetings of comrades who have not seen each other since the civil war. One of the most striking of these occurred in a School street restaurant in Boston at the re- cent encampment. Colonel c. O. Jenni- son of Greenville, Mich, who was first lieutenant of Company D, Fourth New Hampshire volunteers, was eating his dinner when another veteran, sitting opposite, said, "Well, comrade, what regiment were you inY'
 Colonel Jennison answered and then asked the stranger who his first lieu tenant was. The man replied, "A fel- low of the name of Jennison." "Well, I am he," responded the colonel. And the two men then shook hands for the first time in forty-two years. The oth- CT party to this pleasant encounter was S. A. Putnam of Hyannis.
 A group of veterans wearing the red diamond badge outlined by gold cord on their hats were standing on Fremont street when an old fellow wearing the same badge "butted in'' and said, "Hel- To, Orrinton!" to one of the distinguish ed eX-prisoners of war. Deputy Superintendent of Police Or rinton M Hanscom-for that was the man the old soldier spoke to-turned around and said: Hello; who are you? You don't know me-" ~-
 "Oh, yes, I do,' said the old one. You are Orrinton Hanscom. You used to be the drummer boy of Company K, Seventeenth Maine, First division, Third corps. I was your lieutenant, and I have not seen you since our regi- ment was mustered out at Arlington, Washington, on June 4, 1865, after the war was all over. That's thirty-nine years ago."
 ''Oh, yes; you are right" said Deputy Hanscom. 'I know you now. You are Lieutenant Robert H. Mathes."
 Then they shook hands and had a talk, swapped canteens and went to po- lice headquarters, where Deputy Hans com began to entertain his former off cer, who now belongs to Brooklyn post No. 36S. G. A. R., of Cleveland, o.

Before Chinese bandits are executed in Mukden they are suspended for a week or ten days by their thumbs and great toes, so that their knees just touch the ground. Just before the tor ture would kill them their heads are cut off. All this is done by the Chinese courts, to which the Cossacks turn over the bandits, or alleged bandits, after arrest.

Chinese Names.

Tn China every name is in itself a description of the object to which the name belongs. For example, pei means north; nan, south; tung, east, and si, west, while tsin, kin or ting means capital, or metropolis. Picking, therefore, means northern capital, and Nankin, southern capital.
