WHAT JOHN R ELEC-
TON WILL MEAN.

To do this. the honest men of all
parties must stand together. The Re.
publican who believes that a victory
won by corruption is no victory at all,
who thinks that every vote bought is
a blow at the fabric %upreared on the
bloody foundation of the Revolution.
wiose patriotism is so high and so fine
that he can put it above his partisan
ship-he must stand with the Demo-
crat. the Populist and the Socialist in
washing away this stain from the
honor of our State.
Partisanship is a good thing. but God
forbid that the day may ever come
when the true American can put it
above his patriotism. Should that un-
happy time ever arrive, with it will
sound the death-knell of the republic
The Republicans of Nevada are
Americans first. Republicans after
wards. And that is one great reason
why John SPARKS will be the next
United States Senator from Nevada.

The Appeal to the Bryanites.

We shall have a bit of joking now on
the subject of eX-Chairman Jones, who
has been called in as an adviser at ma
tiOnal democratic headquarters. 1t will be
explained In one section that the predic-
ton department needed strengthening; in
another that the rainbows needed brighten
ing; in another that Mr.. Jones needed the
job. So long. Humor has it's place in
the campaign, and Mr.. Jones, as an old
target, will serve a purpose. Probably
nobody will enjoy the joke more than MIR.
Jones himself.
But let us consider the serious side of
the matter. The ParkeriteS are waking
up to the Importance of the Bryanites.
They have taken the measure of Mr.. Tag
CART and his satellites and discovered their
deficiencies. They realize that the organi-
zation of the national committee was eff
fected on narrow lines. Mr.. Taggart does
not know the country. He is not even. as
supposed. the master of Indiana. He needs
help. His hearty handshake and stock of
anecdotes, valuable in their way, must be
supplemented by what is called business;
and so Mr.. Jones has been called in. Mr..
Walsh of Iowa is also hand, and Mr.
Johnson of Kansas. Thus We find the old
Bryanite outfit again in harness.
VIII this appeaSe the disgruntled Bryan
ties? The play now is not to lure gold men
back. but to keep silver men in the traces.
All the gold men likely to be influenced by
the nomination and the platform have re-
spOnded. But the reasons given for their
return have proved distasteful to many of
the silver men, and as result some of Mr..
Bryan's warmest friends have either gone
over. or are threatening to go over, to
Watson or to Roosevelt. They consider the
surrender of Mr. Bryan himself as more
diplomatic than sincere. Will they halt at
seeing men like Mr.. Jones cooperating cor
daily with the Belmonts and the Hills and
the Sheehans?
This is bold move. but probably war;
ranted by the situation. The proposition is
to win. and that covers multitude of ma
neuvers. Just as it takes a good many diff
ferent kinds of people to make world, it
takes all sorts and conditions of politicians
to make an opposition whose incentive is
confessedly success at the polls

not far off when many of the present en-
CINE drivers will become motormen The
electric motor as applied to the hauling OF
cars Is about twenty years old and the third
rail- scheme about ten years old. 1t Is
within reason to suspect that in quarter
OF a century some of the great steam rail-
way systems will propel their trains by
electricity. The Identification of steam
railways has already begun. Steam has
been supplanted on the elevated systems In
New York. Chicago and Boston. The New
York Central, Boston and Maine. New
Haven and Hartford and a score Of other
railroads have projects for running electric
trains over their tracks to provide for way
travel. and are building electric branch
lines as feeders.
Trolley competition has become serious
matter to steam railroads in short-haul
traffic. The interurban trolley not only lops
off a large part of the railroads local traf-
fc, but Is building up interu1ban traffic in
a way the steam railroad never did. The
trolley car passing through the streets of
city offers inducements of it's own. To get
aboard in front of your own house, travel
fast and step off in front of your friends
house in another city is more convenient
than going to and from railroad station.

way trains 1t Is only step to electric

gether toe subtle for analysis in this choice
of dogs and masters. And Just SO there is
probably something in every dog that ap-
coat. or its shape. or its eyes, or its size, or
its manners. or its intelligence. Perhaps
the man adopts the dog out of sheer pity
for it. and grows fond Of it for it's wonder
full loyalty to him and it's gratitude. Per-
haps the dog just happens. drifts into the
family circle and stays there, with that
calm assurance that only dog can DIS
play. and no one has the heart or the nerve
to GUST him.
Whatever the reason. the figures show
that more dogs are getting adopted, just as
more are getting killed for the lack of suf
ficiently appreciative masters. If every
dog owner would be considerate of his
neighbors and keep his dog under strict
discipline, restraining his wanderings and
his noise. there would be little room for
objection to the fast-growing numbers of
ers believe that the dogs rights to liberty
of speech and action are inalienable, and
the license is no restraint upon the dscOm-
forts imposed upon others. For the tagged
dog can be more of nuisance than the

A Buried City Herep

was Washington once the site of a great
city, long forgotten unknown to the mod
ern archaeologists? Did there live and thrive
on the North American continent a race
prior to the Aztecs? Are there treasures of
art buried under the soil of this capital?
Wherefore, then, the mysteries of stone just
unearthed in the digging for the founda-
tons cf the new building for the House Of
Representatives.? Far below the foundations
Of the houses destroyed to make room for
the new edifice these fragments have ap-
reared, and the memory of man today runs
not back to the time when such structures
were there as to call for these deep-latd
bases. Nor do the oldest inha bitants know
of any one who remembers having seen or
heard of such. Washington was built upon
virgin soil, so far as city creation was
concerned. in the Judgment of its.founders
Here were farms and small dwellings, a
manor house or two, and an unbroken rec
ord of freedom from the inroads of the city
makers. The North American Indians did
not build cities. They did not dig into the
soil to found their structures. Here then
is problem for the historians and the ar
chaeologists to solve.

A Cool. Dry August.

The month of August in this vicinity was
unusually cool and dry. The mean temper
allure, as recorded at the weather bureau,
was 124 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas the
mean for the month for thirty-four years
has been 10 degrees. Thus this August was
% degrees cooler than the average. Had
the month closed with the mean of thirty
four years equaled, the record of the year
to date would have been absolutely nor
NAL. for as the score now stands 1904 has
a daily deficiency of temperature of just 20
degrees below the mean, or total Of 500
degrees in all for the year to date. The
total precipitation for the month was only
297 inches. 96 hundredths of an inch less
than the average for the record period.
Since January 1 last there has been a de-
ficiency of 2.96 inches, just a shade less
than the total rainfall for the month of
August. In point of comparison with par
ticular years this August has been as cool
as any recorded. none showing mean of
less than -. There have, however, been
drier Augusts. that of 1892 being the lowest
of all in point of precipitation. only IS
hundredths of an inch having fallen then.
The wettest August on record was that of
1875. when 12.93 inches of water fell. The
hottest August known officially was that
of 1850, when the daily mean temperature
was so degrees. The fact that the pre-
vailing winds were from the north during
the past month is perhaps the cause of the
low temperature. The total movement of
wind was 3.54J miles, the highest rate be-
ing recorded on the I'D, when for time
the air moved at the rate of twenty-eight
miles an hour. These steady north breezes
undoubtedly served to keep the temperature
down and to give WashingtOnians one of
II, most delightful Augusts ever known in
this region. The hottest day was the 22d.
when the maximum temperature was ~
degrees. But that night was cool. the
minimum OF the day being G5 degrees. The
greatest variation between maximum and
minimum was en- the 18th, when the Their
mometer scored from 81 TO 81 degrees. the
former being the lowest mark of the
month.

The Naked Third Rail.
rom the New York Herald.


Another victim of the deadly naked third
rail. In full view of a group of waiting
passengers the 9th avenue elevated rail-
road yesterday workman came into con-
tact with that harmless looking strip of
steel and in an instant he was a corpse.
The group of persons on the platform were
horror stricken. and one of them tainted
as the victims colleagues with difficulty
freed his body from the deadly contact,
while one of them departed to break the
news to the widow and her fatherless chill
dren.
Hundreds of thousands of passengers
daily, as they stand on the platforms of
the Il" roads in Manhattan and Brooklyn,
look down upon the exposed deadly third
rail, discuss the numerous casualties it has
caused and ask why steps are not taken to
compel the corporations to cover it. Orig
inally, in this borough. at any rate. a
crude protection was afforded by putting
the deadly rail at the bottom of a cheap
board trough. 1t was found. however, in
winter that this served to confine snow and
ice. interfering with the necessary electric
contact. What was done? Instead of
adopting some better-but probably more
expensive-system the company proceeded
to knock one side off the trough leaving
the fatal rail in the exposed condition in
which it has ever since remained.
