HON. WILLIAM F. sHEEuAN.

the public eye. and his name was daily
on the tip of the tongue or the pen.
Then he dropped out of sight. He re-
tired from politics-Or intended TO do
so-and his old haunts knew him no
more. The political world came Gradu-
ally almost to forget his existence.
The resurrection of the former lieu
tenant governor of New York. in a
political sense, came about through
changed political conditions and the
fact that he was Il close friend Of
Judge Parker. AS the sage of EsOpuS
began to loom large on the political
horizon Mr.. Sheehan began 10 be heard
about again. On his retirement from
the lieutenant governorship in 1898 he
removed from Buffalo to New York
and entered upon the practice of his
profession as a lawyer there, announc-
ing that he was "out of politics" But
politics is a game whose destinations
once known, are hard ever after to
resist. Mr.. Shcehan made money in
the practice of law, became attorney
for large corporations and identified
himself with leading metropolitan
financicrs, including August Belmont
Though inactive during Mr.. Bryan's
leadership he now finds himself once
more in sympathy with his party, and
as Judge Parker rcpOSeS much conf
dence in his political Judgment he is
likely TO be consulted Il good deal in
regard 10 the direction of the canvass.
Mr.. Sheehan was born forty-fve
years ago in Buffalo and as boy sold
papers for n living. He attended the
public schools and St JoScph's college.
read law. was admitted to the bar at
twenty-five and two years later was
elected TO the assembly of the state.
In 1891 he was made speaker of the
assembly and year later became lieu
tenant governor, serving until the close
of his term in 1895. Mr.. Sheehan is
neighbOr of Judge Parker, occupying
n house at Esopus not far from Rose
mount.

until the operator knows that the
track is clear.
This should in a degree obviate the
danger accompanying the present sys-
TEN of switches, provided. Of course,
this new switch system works as well
in practical use as it does on paper.
An open switch" - those three
words have explained many fatal
railroad disasters. Passenger trains
have dashed into other trains on sid
ings because of AN open switch" and
with the operator in control of the
switch as above planned, surely these
disasters would be fewer in number.
The success Of the use OF the new
switches in Illinois Will at least be
watched with interest. There is a great
demand for safety appliances in rail
reading, and this demand increases as
the rate of speed of trains increases.

Imperialism VS. the Republic.

New York Herald: Three years of
Mr.. Roosevelt as president have clear
ed away all illusions as to his ideals.
His conduct in the floating" of the
Panama republic, his ruthless disre-
gard of public sentiment in the south
his dictatorial assumption of authori
ty in every department of the public
service have sufficed to show the peo-
pie that his ideal of government is
Imperialism, that he regards brute
force as the equivalent of right and
his will as the equivalent of legality.
Are these qualities desirable in a
president of the United States? This
is the question the American people
will be called upon TO answer at the
polls.
The people will have to decide.
Mr.. Roosevelt represents imperial
ism. Judge Parker represents democ-
racy as it was understood by our fore
fathers. the signers of the Declaration
of Independents, as il was understood
by the men who fought for that indie
pendence and as il should be under
stood by us who have inherited that
independence.

The Chicago Conventions ..Enthusi.

William Allen White, in the Satur-
day Evening Post: The Chicago con-
vention of June u. 1904. was the first
national republican convention held in
years wherein everyone could get a
gallery seat who cared for il. There
were empty seats TO be had almost for
the asking the first day, and, when the
convention opened, hundreds of dele
gates seats were vacant on the floor
of the Coliseum. The newspapers had
much to say about the enthusiasm of
that first day. The real facts are that
there was no enthusiasm. The cheer
ing was mechanical. They Cheered eX-
actly minute when Roosevelts name
was mentioned by Mr.. Root, and exact
~ minute for Hanna and a minute
for Mckinley. Evidently de gang
was doing its cheering by the day and
not by the piece. for il refused TO put
in an extra second on any lung work
10 give il the finish and veTisimilitude
of genuine joy. IL was coarse work
and deceived no one who heard it.
The only burst of unauthorized JOY
that came from the convention greet
ed Cannon. who stands in Washington
as the type of the old-fashioned hon
est" politician. and whom the presi-
dents enemies openly worship as their
political god.

To Use Safety Switch.

The Wabash Railroad company will
experiment in Illinois with a new form
of overhead switches. Wires for this
purpose are now being placed between
the stations. These switches are some
thing new in railway appliances. and
their use on the Wabash will be an in
novation- They are placed at the
outer ends of lap sidings and give the
telegraph operator absolute control OF
TIE switches. No train or engine can
open a switch TO let a train in or out
untii tho switch has been released by
the O.'o.atoT. who can also control the
inner switches of the lap siding. The
swij ches are electrically controlled.
and are of the ground-thrown type.
The electrical lock will prevent 2
train from going out of q side track

democratic national committee was in all- day session considering the manner in which the contests are to be heard, there was little diminution in the crowd. The Hobbies were filled with persons who awaited with great interest the result of the deliberations. Sub-committees were ramed to hear the contests, and the wait ing crowds gained no substantial informa- ton to reward their presence.
 At the headquarters of the various can- didates there were many conferences, but these were not of character to draw masses. On the whole. the thousands known to be in the city for the conven- ton, were less in evidence tnau they will be on any day pricr to or during the convention.
 It is estimated that most of the delega- tiors have arrived. A number of these have brought marching cubs, but the day has not been Iropitous for parading The rainy afternoon discouraged many of the marchers, while the small boy, prone to explode his fireworks in the ranks of the clubs. made others timid.
 The Kings county democracy of Brook lyn to the number of about 200, got out in the interest of the Parker boom, and headed hy local band the club paraded down tow n streets between showers.
