TRACK LAYING MACHINE.
an Exchange.

A new railway track layer, with a
crew OF forty men, will lay two miles
of track a day. The track layer has
huge crane, sixty feet long, which pro-
jects forward over the road and hauls
behind 1t a train OF sixteen hatcars
loaded with ties and rails. A contin-
uous double line of cars moves con-
stantly over rollers and carries the ties
with 1t. Both rails and ties are seized
at the proper time by the machinery
and placed on the road in front of the
train. where they shortly form part of
the track over which it passes. This
device is said to be the most expedi-
tious as we'll as economical track layer

JAPANESE POLITENEss.
From the New York TrIbune

From the New York Tribune.
The proverbial politeness of the Jap
anese has resulted in the development
Of a number of neat little customs.
One Of the best is the manner in which
one hostess gets rid of an unwelcome
guest. She does not hint that the time
is about up for his stay or that she is
going visiting soon, but sets to work
preparing a dainty luncheon which she
packs In little box, ties up with rib
bon and paper and hands to the guest
some morning. 1t isn't an insult, eth
err, it's Just hint, and one that is al
ways taken.

Three weeks from yesterday the ma
tional election will occur. The cam
paigners and spell-binders are now on
the home stretch. and are making
things hum. II seems 20 be pretty
well agreed that each OF the presiden-
tial candidates is directing his own
campaign, and on both sides IL must
be admitted that the management has
been characterized by skill and ability.
During the next few days. and until
the election. there will appear IN the
public prints numerous estimates Of
how the states will vote. They may be
interesting but II is doubtful II many
Of them will be OF practical value.
After all the preliminary guess work
has been completed the question re-
solves itself into this. that the people
must decide"

WILL NOT TRAVEL ON OARS.
From the New York mines.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 16.-Mr. and
Mrs. James Wheeler of Horton want to
visit relatives in Iowa, but owing to
the numerous railroad accidents refuse
to go on the cars. Mr.. Wheeler has
purchased a span of good horses and a
light wagon, and will drive to Iowa.
Mr. Wheeler is a land owner in this vi
entity and is wealthy. He has made
several annual visits to Iowa. Mr.
Wheeler said tonight:
1T has come to such pass nova
days that one can't get on board a
train with any certainty that he will
reach his destination alive and unhurt.
l don't propose to run any risk of be-
ing smashed up in a railway accident

rather trust them. l expect a pleasant
trip, and will reach Iowa before the

AYachtman from the West.

Lewis Nixon tells a story of
wealthy man from the West, now liv-

of a yacht club having headquarters
near that village. One day, says the
Syracuse Herald, the newly Pledged
yachtsman shouted to one Of the petty
officers of a certain craft:

THE SCANDAL OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The scandal of the presidential cam
paign is the Cortelyou matter. 1t Is
scandalous from two points of view.
Mr.. Cortelyou was a cabinet officer
and he was made manager of Mr..
Roosevelt's campaign. 1t is the UNI
flee of Postmaster General as soon as
the campaign is over. Therefore he is
practically an officer of the govern
ment who has been given a leave of
absence for a few months. The fact
that he resigned before accepting his
present Office doesn't count for any
thing, because he resigned with the
understanding that he would be taken
back into the cabinet again as soon as
he did some special work for the
President
The other point of view of the scan
dal is that Mr.. Cortelyou is collecting
campaign contributions from the trusts
which he was investigating. He is in
the position to use the information
about trusts which he collected when
he was at the head of the Department
of Commerce and Labor. Is he not
putting the President and the Repub-
lican party under obligations by ac-
cepting contributions from these op-
pressors of the people?
1t is noticeable that neither the
President nor Mr. Cortelyou has said
anything in reply to the criticisms on
the latter, and the Republican lead
ers are dumb so far as that subject is
concerned. And why? Because there
is nothing they can say that will not
make a bad matter worse.

A Question Of Temperature.

A Scotch doctor who was attending
laird had instructed the butler Of tho
house in the art OF taking and record
ing his masters temperature with a
thermometer, says the Kansas City
Journal. on repairing 70 the house one
morning he was met by the butler, to
whom he said well. John l hope the
laird's temperature IA not any higher
to-day" The man looked puzzled for
a moment. and then replied. "Weel.
7 was just wonderin' that myself. Ye
see he died at twal O'clock"

He Would rake No Chances.

Two men in the West were. to be
hanged for horse stealing, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The place So
lected was the middle OF a trestle
bridge spanning a river. The rope was
rot securely tied on the hrst man to
be dropped and the knot slipped; the
man fell into the river and Immediately
swan for the shore. AS they We're
adjusting the rope for the second man,
an 1rishman, he remarked:

and tight, cause / can't swim"

That Baltic fleet continues TO be
puzzle. When it left Libau on sun
day. more than thirty" ships were re-
ported to constitute it's two divisions.
On Monday, as reported in our dis
patches yesterday, the fleet reached
Lageland Island, with twenty-four
ships, for the purpose Of taking coal.
Thus it seems that more than six ships
were lacking from the original fleet.
Have they already turned back? 1t is
the opinion of some military experts
in London that the Baltic fleet will
never get 1000 miles away from its
starting point.

Ii hasn't been so very long since the
New York Sun couldn't find in its
vocabulary invectives that were too
hard to hurl against the mugwumps.
And yet we now find the Sun the most
mugwumpish of the contemporary
mugwumps. In national politics it is
supporting Roosevelt, but in state poll
tics it is lambasting the Republican
ticket and calling upon all honest men
to vote against Oden's machine.
Formerly it could see nothing good in
independents; now it is as independent
as a wood sawyer.

One of the first public functions of
importance on the cards for Washing
ton subsequent to the election is the
unwilling of the statue of Frederick the
Great, presented by the German EN-
peror. Elaborate exercises are to mark
the unwilling, which will take place
on Nov. 10, and the President will
make an address. Frederick was a
great military genius, and his career
Will no doubt call forth a glowing eu-
logy from the war-loving President.

The Passionist Fathers of Hoboken
are going to hold a weeks special
services for unmarried women. One Of
the fathers explained that the single
women Of the parish would be exhorted
to get married and never give up hope
on account of age. THE reason we
will devote especial attention to the
unmarried women" he said, "is be-
cause we feel that much Of the pre-
liminary work of the married state
rests with the woman She should be
taught TO realize this" Did the father
mean that the woman should take a
hand in the courtship. and not leave
the man to do all OF the love making?

The registration in New York is said
TO be going forward in a most salts
factory manner. from the Democratic
point OF view. The registration has
been Unexpectedly heavy. Politicians
thought there was apathy in the ranks

differently. 1t seems that the silent"

Mr.. Bryan's speeches in Indiana
ought to stop the mouths of his critics
within the party-of course, nothing
will stop the mouths of his Republican
critics. He is showing clearly enough
his sincerity in supporting Parker and
Davis. He does not hesitate to say that
the platform does not meet with his
highest expectations, and that he would
have chosen other candidates.; but
he says the Democratic plat
form and ticket are incompar-
ably better than the Republican
platform and ticket. Mr.. Bryan
would not be honest either with him
self or his hearers if he were to pre-
tend that he was unqualifiedly delight
ed with the Democratic position, yet
he is frank to say that he sees so
much that is good in the Democratic
position and so much that is evil in
the position of the Republican party
that he would rather go down in OBJ
livion than be instrumental in the cleo
ton of Roosevelt" Isn't that strong
enough to influence the most ardent
ticket? And isn't it sufficient to con-
vince any Democrat that Mr.. Bryan
means what he says when he advo-
Gates the election of Parker and Davis?
Out of the mass of contradictory re-
ports that is coming from the war in
the Far East, one grim and terrible
fact obtrudes itself. 1t is that war
is hell" even where the war is
pleasant" one. as Gen. Kuropatkin
said of the current struggle. 1t is
hardly possible to tell on which side
is any decided or permanent advantage.
but it is easy enough to see that on
both sides there are indescribable suf-
fering and death, and that in both
Japan and Russia tens of thousands of
homes will be permanently darkened
by bereavements occasioned "for the
glory of the respective countries. But
no ray of that glory will be reflected
in or upon those desolated homes
