were expected to do so. For. when Colonel
Rrvan said on the stump In Nebraska that
there was no hope Of carrying the State for
Parker. he was assaulted in the Democratic
press for disaffection and disloyalty. Yet what
he said was true, and was known to be true by
every intelligent voter In Nebraska. The fusion
between the Democrats and Populists having
been ruptured. 10000 Populists voted for Wat
son. $4,000 voted for Roosevelt, and perhaps
10000 more voted the Socialist ticket or did
not vote There could be no palmer demonstra-
ton of cause and effect in politics.
What. them is 1.-The real significance Of the
Nebraska result? Simply this: A political
party cannot hope to increase its strength by
rushing wildly from one extreme of political
belief to another. 1t cannot profitably pose as
insane" in one canvass and sane in the next.

THE LAKE BAIKAL RAILWAY,

ton about the recently completed link In the
Trans-Siberian Railway TO the south OF Lake
Baikal. The new section is 161 miles in length.
but the most difficult work was required be-
tween stations known as Baikal and Kutuk.
which are ffty-three miles apart. This part of
the route was chosen from several that had been
surveyed because it had no steep grades The
quality OF the rock TO be cut seemed more salts
factory than that elsewhere, and q piece Of road
previously built from Irkutsk to Baikal could be
utilized. Otherwise thirty or forty miles of
track would have been wasted
Along the shore from Baikal to Kultuk the
mountains rise abruptly to height of from
600 TO 200 feet, and In most places the cliff is
absolutely vertical Thirty-two tunnels have
been needed, whose aggregate length is three
and one-half miles. and one Of which is nearly
half Il mile long. lnasmuch as the rock is often
loose there, Ii was found expedient to line thesa
passages TO practically their whole extent with
heavy brickwork' as precaution against cav

variably effective. The region is subject IN
earthquakes, which invite landsIides on the omen

THINGS FOR BELMONT TO PONDER.

Controller Grout made an interesting suGges-
ton when he said Saturday that the defiance
of public sentiment and the city's constituted
authorities by die Interborough company in
ignoring the Rapid Transit Commissions order
about the station advertisements might smooth
the way for an award TO the Metropolitan COM
pany for the building of the East Side branch.
1t is a suggestion which the officials Of the
present subway company may ponder care
fully 1t will be wise for them TO reflect that
they are not the only people in these parts
who can build and operate tunnels. Mr.. Grout
speaks advisedy when he reminds them of that
fact.
Here is another point which Mr. Belmont
and his associates might keep in mind: The
Metropolitan company-the New-York City Rail-
way Company, as it is now called-can offer
certain advantages to New-York people which
Mr.. Belmont cannot offer 1t controls all the
surface lines of Manhattan and The Bronx.
Many Of these are crosStown lines. The Metro
politan could give transfers from East Side
subway stations TO these lines. and men and
women living in the cross streets could make
swift runs uptown and then be carried near
10 their own doors for one fare. This Is OBJ
yiously something the Interborough company
cannot do.
We hold no brief for the Metropolitan COM
pany. We are not advocating the claims OF any
concern for the East Side award. We simply
call the attention of the Interborough officials
TO certain points which may weigh In the minds
Of the Rapid Transit Commissioners when the
time for the letting of the contract arrives
The authorities are not likely to be prepos-
sessed i'm favor of q company which defes their

TIE HEALTH OF CUBA.

II &c pIeasant to be assured by President
Palma that Cuba is pest free, Notwithstanding
some recent reports to the contrary. Cuba re-
cefved fine lesson in housekeeping, and espe-
cally houSecleaning under American admins
tration of it's affairs, and it is gratifying to
know that that object lesson has not been lost
An American visitor who has recently spent
three months in the island tells washington
Post" reporter of much that he saw TO Cuba S
credit. Havana, according to this visitor, MIR.
Charles A Randolph, is "a beautifully clean
"city, far and away freer of dirt than most OF
"our large towns" That is as it should be- so
far at least as Havana is concerned, as the eli
mate of Cuba makes an even greater degree OF
cleanliness imperative than that which prevails
in cities further north
In the matter of good roads, also. it is not i'm
probable that the United States might learn
something from its recent pupil in the art of
self-government. Says Mr.. Randolph
One thing about Cuba is deserving of the great
est praise, and that is the attention that Is be-
ing given to the construction of good roads.
They building them all over the island 1
was the companion of an Englishman over a
stretch Of highway that for distance of sixty
five miles was simply perfect. l never saw IN
the United States road OF the same length 70
compare with it, and the Englshman sald IL was
as good as anything in Great Britain. where the
country roads have been for generations held
up a model.
This is the pleasant side Of the story. Unfort-
unately Havana and the good roads which Mr..
Randolph describes are not the only factors to
be considered. Santiago de Cuba, from its geo.
graphical situation and also from the fact that
it did not receive much attention as Havana
under American rule, is the real danger spot,
and the reports from that city have not been en-
couraging. However, with the attention of the
island now directed to this peril, there Is rea-
son to believe that Cuba will be wise enough
to see to it that conditions favorable to the
inception and propagation of its immemorial
scourge shall remain nowhere in the island.
Certainly not only from the hygenic, but also
from the financial point of view, it is TO the In
terest Of the island not to relax its vigilance
and precautions in this respect.

CAUSE AND EFFECT IN POLITICS

Democratic critics who have studied the cleo
ton returns are beginning 10 realize that it is
impossible TO suspend the law OF cause and
effect, even in politics. This discovery seems
however 70 be causing establishment. and some
OF the rainbow chaseTS who were predicting
landslide for Parker are still reluctant to
admit that the Democratic rout OF November S
was an effect flowing from perfectly logical
and Ineligible causes. Several Democratic
newspapers have been Analysing the returns
just announced from Nebraska. They have
printed tables showing that, although Colonel
Bryan polled in 1900 a total OF f14013 votes
against 121,S3 for President Mckinley this
year Judge Parker polled only 52.975 votes,
against 1892 for President Roosevelt The
total vote cast for President IN 1904 fell off
nearly 1880 from the total vote of 1900 As
one Of these critics put II:
OF the Bryan forces Of 1900 less than half re-
NAMED with the party. 10000 went to Roosevelt
2o,9D were added TO the side parties and some
1000 or so never voted at all. IN the scatter
ing" column-an increase for the Prohibitionists
from 3,655 TO 6261, for the Socialists from S23
10 4,3SO and a Watson vote of 2044S-is the real
significance Of the Nebraska result
But is this 'the real significance of the Ne
braska result? We scarcely think So From
such statement the inference might he drawn
that Judge Parker's overwhelming defeat was
due simply to treachery in the Democratic
Tanks-to purely personal and factiOnal disaf-
lection. Yet this conclusion would be utterly
at variance with the facts. For Judge Parker
did receive in that State loyal and generous
Democratic support, and polled a fuller meas
ure Of Democratic strength than he poed in
Indiana, West Virginia, New-Jersey or New
York.
Why any one should have expected him to do
better than he did do in Nebraska is a mys-
terry Colonel Bryan carried Nebraska for
President in 1896 and lost It in 1900 by COM
paratvely narrow margin. not as q Democratic
but a Fusionist candidate. He had the SUD-
port of the POpulist party-more numerous in
that State than the Democratic party-and of
The so-called silver Republicans. Judge Parker
stood this year for the Presidency as nom
fusion candidate. His nomination was accom-
piished az St Louis by Democratic managers
whose chief purpose was TO purge the party-to
drive from ifs ranks the five hundred or eight
hundred thousand voters who as Fusionists had
supported Colonel Bryan In 1896 and 1900
Judge Parker and his advisers exercised This
vote. which they superciliously sfigmatized &c
