THE Pennsylvania SYSTEM.

TT IS INTERESTING to know that
Il that the Pennsylvania Railroad in
tends TO continue the general improve
ments planned on so generous a scale
and It is particularly pleasing to learn
that the Delaware Road and the ele-
waited system for this city are a part
OF the plans. The double track for
the Delaware road viii be extended to
Cape Charles, its terminus, and there
is promise OF the completion Of the
elevated tracks through this city.
This resumption Of active work all
along the line is welcome news. It
means not only that traffic will be inn
proved but that many thousands Of
dollars viii be expended. To complete
the elevated road in this city and TO
build the new station called for in the
plans win require a large expenditure
that cannot fail to be felt here.
But Il means more; the opening Of
the various car shops on fun time, the
extensions for Broad street station and
the operations in New York signify
that this great corporation feels justi-
ned by business conditions to koer
pushing out and that present demand,
OF freight and passenger traffic ar,
heavy.

Living in Tho Midst Of Alarms,

From the Hartford Courant
This theory that Theodore Roosevelt
Is "a bad and dangerous man IS merely
la new application Of the usual Demo-
cratic method The established Demo-
cratic formula for forty years has been
to "view with alarm" Sometimes It is
this thing that is viewed and some-
times il is that, but the alarm is con-
stant. This year It is Roosevelt who
is so viewed. Lincoln was so viewed i'm
his immortal day. The real question,
however as to how the Democratic
party and its candidate OF unexpressed
opinions would manage the affairs of
the United States. remains unchanged.
