We congratulate our western citizens
upon the passage Of the measure known
as the Nuwluuds irrigation act Tor the
irrigation and reclamation OF the arid
lands OF tn" wcSt-d measure framed by
d democrat. passed In the senate by 4
n-partiZau vote and paasrd In the house
against the opposition Of almost All tho
republican leaders by vote the major
ity of which was democratic. We call at
tcutiua to this great democratic measure,
broad aud comprehensive as II ls work
ing automatically throughout all time
without further action OF congress until
the reclamation Of all the lands In the
arid west capable OF reclamation Is ae-
Cumplishrd, rvserving the lands reclaimed
for humusetkrrs In small tracts and rigid
lv guarding against land monopoly as an
evidence Of the policy OF domestic deve-
upment contemplated by the democratic
party should 1t be placed ~ power.

THE PLATFORM MAKING.

In the committee to draft Il plat
form Mr. Bryan was again in cvi-
dence. The committee had re-
ported II platform with II gold
standard plank Mr., Bryan intro
duccd Il resolution To reailirm the
Kansas City platform. That was
voted down; and some of the mcm-
bers thought it would he impolitic
to adopt the gold plank, and it was
voted down. The question was
left open as matter of principle.
Mr.. Bryan then called attention to
the fact that there were certain
questions before Congress upon
which they ought to act and eX-
press an opinion; he referred to n
bill that had been reported by com
mittec authorizing the melting of
the silver dollars into subsidiary
coin Mt the discretion of the Secrc-
tary of the Treasury; pointed out
thut the purpose of the bill was to
decrease the amount of standard
money just to the extent of melting
| the coin. The committee refused
to adopt it. He introduced n reso-
luton that we were opposed to any
contraction of the currency by the
destruction, retirement or melting
of any of the silver dollars The
committee objected. lie scratched
ont the words silver dollar aud said
We object TO the contraction of
the volume of metallic money; -
then we oppose the contraction of
the volume of standard money. "
but the committee refused and said
We don't want to bring the
money question in at all - Then
he introduced resolution about
asset currency, calling attention to
the fact that it was an issue that
would have to be met. but the com
mttee said no. Last he proposed
a resolution that I'VE thought the
United States notes furnished Il
better money than the national
bank notes" but he could get nc
declaration on that point. And SC
the platform lodged the money
question altogether, and left to each
individual Democrat to hold to
whatever opinion he might on
these controverted questions.
There was nothing else to do, and
the platform as adopted was re
ported unanimously.

BOYHOOD OF ALBERT j. PITKIN

How New President of American Loco
motive Co. Struggled to study.
Albert j. Pitkin was not apprenticcd
because Of any Discrimination on his
part to study, but simply because his
father, Presbyterian minister with
a charge now in one town and now in
another, could not afford to send his
boy through college, although he de-
sired to do so. Noting his love for
mechanics, he did the next best thing,
and apprenticed him to learn the ma
chinist's trade When he was twelve
years old he was sent to live with his
grandfather, in Granville, Ohio, who
owned and operated cabinet-manu
featuring shop. This the boy haunted;
it became his playground With re-
markable cleyerness he made, out OF
wood, machinery that would perform
different kinds of work. Once, with a
spinning wheel, which he found in an
attic. as the principal pulley, and with
coarse string for belts, he devised a
machine by means of which he sawed
sprang up, between grandfather and
grandson, an almost chummy friend
ship. He gained his characteristic So
briefly and serious consideration of
things through constant association
with his grandfather-who first taught
him how to use chisel and mallet,
how to drive nail through narrow
piece Of wood without cracking it, and
how to sandpaper and rub down
cabinet to make ready for vanishing.
When he was only fourteen years old
he had mastered the constructive de-
tails Of the portable engine of The
shop. He could also run the turn
ing lathe and other machines. One
he went through a machine shop. He
had never before seen metal being
manufactured into machinery The
rasping and harsh noises Of its cut
ting were music to his ear. From
that time forth the cabinet shop was
barren of attraction, and the dreams
his grandfather may have entertained
of some day taking him into partner
ship disappeared as quickly as shaw
ings in furnace. He determined to
become a raachinist, to learn how t.
design machinery, and TO become emil
nent as an engineer.
He began as an apprentice at sixty
cents a day in the Webster, Camp and
Lane Machine Company's shops, chip
ping castings with hand tools, and
ended by assisting in setting up sta
tionary engines in neighboring vii
lagos, and, on the expiration of his
time, was engaged at two dollars and
twenty five cents day. For his bet
terment, after a year, >he considered it
wise to avail himself of an opportun-
ity to enter the locomotive repair shops
Of the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus
Railroad. He had always felt the
common romantic interest in locomo-
tives, and had delighted to watch their
movements The locomotive then be-
came his study. When he crawled
under one to make repairs it was with
a students interest as well as a work
mans skill. He familiarized himself
with the mechanism of all the existing
styles on that railroad.-Success.
