lockwood Hoar.

Among the congressional nominations
made in Massachusetts, yesterday was that
of lockwood Hoar. for the Worcester dis
trict. He is a son of Senator Hoar, and
he Is coming on the stage as his father Is
leaving It, The stock is of New England's
best and deserves continued representation
in the public service. Judge Hoar, all
uncle for whom this man was named. was
a great lawyer, and in Grants day filled a
large place in the national eye. His father
has been great figure in politics for thirty
years. and cousin. Sherman Hoar, a man
of ability and much promise. after making
a successful debut in congressional life, was
cut down prematurely by death. 1t is a
characteristic of New England not only TO
select good men for office, but keep them in
commission when they demonstrate ca
pacity, and the result Is the influence ex-
erted by that section of the country nm ,,,r

The Rural Grade Crossing

Twice within last week dynamite was the
cause of death and destruction in peculiar
manner. In Massachusetts, the other day
street car was wrecked by striking pack
ing case of the explosive which had heen
dropped on the track from truck A few
days later railroad train near Cumber-
land, Md. crashed into a wagon loaded
with dynamite which the driver. terrified
by the close approach of the locomotive,
had left standing on the rails. In both
cases there was fault on the part of the
driver. In the Cumberland case the man
in charge of the wagon is particularly
blamed by spectators, who declare that he
had plenty of time. to get his wagon across
the tracks ahead of the train.
Perhaps the Cumberland disaster may
teach the railroad authorities of this coun-
try wholesome lesson and hasten the day
of the total abolition of grade crossings.

users than the city street at points of in

Campaign Contributions.

About this time to employ the formula
of the weather sharps look out for tall
yarns respecting campaign contributions.
Money. we are asked to believe, Is pouring
into the laps of both committees. Here Is
a rich democrat financing his party In this
state. There is rich republican financing
his party in that state. Neither party Is
hungry, or in the way of going on snort
commons. There is money to burn in the
country and the managing politicians are
getting their share of 1t.
The most interesting feature OF this SORT
of yarn-spinning Is that each party Is at
pains to advertise the others good fortune.
Mr. Taggart's successes in money raising are
promptly reported by the republicans. whiie
the democrats know within half a million
or so of Mr. Cortelyous daily collections.
Let the people be advised of what is coming
in in the form of sound dollars for the
countrys salvation, and let no enterprising
party worker fail to take heed.
Therein lies the philosophy of the fiction
The enterprising workers are prompt to
take heed They are the first to read the
stories and the first to take them to head
quarters They want their share of the
plunder Why not? What was it collected
for? They are for the party all right, but
il the party is able to pay for their activity
in getting out the vote why of course they
want the money.
Mr.. Taggart Is on the eve of journey
home. Indiana is a battle ground. and he
has promised his party victory there. Now
the first story he will encounter upon ar
rival Is the one which accredits him with
the possession of four hundred thousand
dollars for distribution on the banks of the
Wabash. The republicans are sure that
the money has been raised and have gen.
erously shared their information with the
Hoosier democrats. Is 1t risky to picture
Mr.. Taggart surrounded at French Lick
Springs by representatives of the faithful
from all over the state and listening to
their reports and appeals? If he has the
dough- i'll the quantity stated, his mission
will be happy and an easy one. But sup
pose him to be not as flush as described
VIII he be able to dismiss the assembly
with a statement of the melancholy fact
and not send them back home chilled to the
marrow?
Wonderful is man, and wonderful are
some of his ways. In America we see him
at his wonderful best in the midst of
presidential campaign.

British jealousy of Upton.

Apropos of Sir Thomas Lptons recent
announcement that he stands ready 10
challenge fourth time for the America s
Cup. certain British yachtsmen are showing
signs of disgruntlement at the persistence
of that enterprising sportsman. Intima-
ready to challenge II Sir Thomas will only
step aside and give them chance. and the
charge is advanced in British sporting
journal that Upton is going in for these
cup challenges only for the advertising that
they yield and Is spending his hundreds of
thousands gladly as a rich investment in
publicity.
This is a lamentable turn of the situa-
ton. and yet not altogether surprising.
Long years of disappointment have had
their effect upon the British sporting tenn
permanent. Dunraven, a two-time chal-
lenger, showed the III effects of his failures
to win the cup. 1t was his churlish be-
havior that induced the American public
to accept Upton at high valuation ad-
vertising and all. 1t will be difficult to
persuade any considerable number OF
Americans that the CHEEKY loser of three
matches is in this endeavor merely TO boom
his teas or hams This is a pretty big
country and accustomed to big things II
recognizes Upton as business man in the
light of an institution so large as to be be

exploitation No one thinks of applying
the space-rate rule, for instance. to such
men as ]. Pierpont Morgan. although his
business as banker thrives upon his con-
spicuousness.
feeling prevails here that Upton has
really earned the right to go on challenging
as long as he is willing to spend his money
and to take his defeats phlosophically, do
ing his very best each time and playing the
game in the truest spirit of the sportsman.
He entered the contests at time when no
other British yachtsman was willing or
ready to do so, when. in fact. the whole
scheme of the contests had been clouded
by Dunraven's silly conduct. He has ele-
waited the sport by his persistence and the
thoroughness of his preparations. He has
never given ground for the least suspicion
that he was jockeying to keep the game
going to foster any secret advertising pur-
pose. If now he is ready to try a fourth
time and no one else is ready to step for
ward and build challenger that can sue
cessfully compete with his own. if he builds
one, certainly there can be no good ground
for grumpiness on the part of the British
yachtsmen on the score of either the effect
of these contests on Lipton's business or
the attitude of the American public toward
this man, who has become as an intimate
personal friend to the people of the United
States
