A BLOCKADE

Is il possible that the harmony
movement which was seemingly
going ahead with a clear tract,
has been blocked? No move has
apparently been made to secure
a joint meeting Of the two har-
mony committees. Why, no one
seems to know. True, there are
various obstacles to be overcome,
but this cannot be done until an
effort is made to find the way.
The question of apportionment
is being discussed by the press
but not by the committee. Other
obstacles are being talked about
and discovered but not by the
committee. Gentlemen, the way
to harmonic is to harmonic.
Some fear is expressed that
the quarrel believes Senator Al
lee and Mr.. Addick's is more APP
parent that real. That it is all
part of the staging of the play.
In confirmation Of this idea, it is
pointed out that Dir. Layton
and DR.. Marshall are not fighting
Mr.. Addicks as hard as they
might. According to the theory
advanced by those who have this
fear the real object is to pull
the Republicans into a State Con-
vention in which it will be found
that Mr.. Addicks and Senator
Alice, have made up their quarrel
and control the situation. One
proof offered is that Mr.. Addicks
on his trips down the State ex-
hibits a "satchel full of securi-
ties" as evidence that he is still
in the fight and has the sinews of
war. We do not suffer from this
scare. THE TRANSCRIPT has al
ways claimed that when Mr.. AID
dicks money was gone his abso-
Lutte control of the Union Repub-
lican organization would wane.
We have no personal knowledge
of Mr.. Addicks' financial condi-
ton, but to the average mind, it
does not appear probable that
any man with a 'satchel full" Of
securities unless they be of the
indigested BRANDY would permit
his personal property be sold un-
der the Marshalls hammer for
comparatively small amount. We
give DIR. Layton and DR.. Marshall
credit for being sincere Roth
are earnest Repu blicans and are
DESTROYS of Republican success.
Both are, or have SO expressed
themselves many times, con-
WINGED that Mr.. Addicks can by |
no possibility or mbination be |
elected senator. Both are shrewd
enough to know that the Repub-
lican Party cannot go on indef-
nitely, with two organizations,
each of which wastes lot Of en-
ergy fighting the other. With
this established, there remains
for them and the rest of the
party, only honorable terms of
peace. No better time can be
had for getting together. The
Republican voters desire 1t above
all else. Arrange terms of peace
that will treat every Republican
right. Get together.

TOM PAiNE'S BRAIN.

Bought In London and shown at
 Ceremony In New Rochelle.
 A portion of the brain of Thomas Paine, removed at the time his body was taken from the tomb in New Ro- chelle, N. l., and carried to England by William Cobbett in 1919, was re- gently exhibited by Dr. E. B. Foote, Jr., to thousands who attended the pub lie transfer of the key of the Paine monument to the city of New Rochelle, says special dispatch to the New York Herald. Dr. Foote was chairman of the meeting and turned the key over to Mayor Clarke.
 NJ. D. Conway, author of a life of Paine, bought relic in an auction shop in London a few years ago and kept its possession secret until the city of New Rochelle appropriated suf- ficient money to properly inclose and preserve the plot in North street where Paine's body was buried and where his monument now stands. Mir. Con- way asked permission to put the relic in the tomb, which was granted. It will be incased in copper box and re- buried in New Rochelle.
 This discovery of the brain of Paine leaves little doubt that the story told concerning the theft of his body and that it fell finally into the hands of vandals, who cut 1t up and sold 1t for relics, is true.
 The key will be hung in the city hall of New Rochelle, where visitors to that city can borrow it to inspect the tomb.

THURSDAY, OCT 19, 1905.

The engineers who run eighteen-hour trains and the crack expresses Of other roads, are at the head of their profes- sion. They are chosen by seniority; the oldest man of grade that quali- fies him for such service is offered the run, says a magazine writer. If he wants 1t he takes it, if not he refuses it. Of course he accepts, for to run the best train on the line is a badge of distinction. It Is long journey to the cab of one of these engines, and most of the men are we'll grayed be- fore they get there, and some are grandfathers. Pull counts for nothing except the pull of a good record, Here Is the bare outline of the rise of one, more or less typical of the rise of all. He was a fireman for five years; nowadays a man has to fire ten or a dozen years before he gets his engine. Then he was given a switching engine, and for years shunted cars about the railroad yards for long hours each day; then he was promoted to slow freight and was sometimes on his engine from five in the morning till eight at night; then he was promoted to a fast freight: then to local passenger, then, by slow steps, to a through express; and then the middle of June. at 51, to an engine of the eighteen-hour train.

 President Roosevelt's principle of a square deal for all recently found ex. pression among the coal men of the United States at the Great Northern hotel in Chicago when more than a hundred travelling salesmen represent. ing both anthracite and bituminous branches of the industry met and or ganlzed the Order of Ko-Koal, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 The purpose of the order Is to pro- mote good fellowship, to discourage the practice of knocking and to encour- age a square deal between the mem bers of the coal trade. Secretary Ar thur M. Hull believes that the member ship list will number 500 before Jan. 1.
 Officers were elected as follows: Mo doc, George NJ. Barclay; baron, Frank H. Collins; baronel. H. B. Dupuy: bar onette, C. F. Lennon; pictor, Arthur M. Hull; mazumer, A. F. Boos; gazooh. L. Romanski; pitboss, Sam M. Stanley; aeolyte. 4. B. Lennon; swatta, c. +. ShabinO; spotta, J. 4. Eggenberger.
 The organization Is designed to play the same part in the coal trade as the Hoo-Hoos in the lumber trade.

Appendicitis and Grapes.

At this season millions of Americans eat grapes. seeds and pulp together, with little thought of appendicitis or any other danger. says the Cleveland Leader. Thousands use them with care to reject the seeds for fear they may make trouble for the curious and apparently useless vermIform appen- dix An unknown but surely large number deny themselves the whole some and pleasant fruit of the vine be- cause they have 6 more or less definite idea that risk to life and bodily vigor lies in it's juicy globes. Meanwhile hundreds of millions of the people of Europe and Asla-the Italians. Span iaudz. Portuguese. Greeks. French. Germans. Austrians, Hungarians. Turks and Persians-eat grapes to an extent uncommon in America. If they suffer as often from appendicitis as the most careful people of this country there are no records which indicate such conditions. The weight of evil deuce clearly acquits the grape seed

 Mayor Cummings of Stamford isn't discouraged by the rejection of the proposed charter consolidating town and city governments. He points out that New Britain, which turned down consolidation in 1903, ratified it in 1905, and he predicts that it's only a question of time when Stamford will cast off its bifurcated style of govern ment and adopt a unified administra- tion. The prediction is easy, safe and sane.-Hartford Times.

When South Carolina undertook to put into effect g modified form of the state dispensary system, predictions
 were freely made that 1t would prove q failure, says an exchange. II was pointed cut at that time that one of the essential features of the methOI
 of a state monopoly of the liquor traf-
 fc calculated to do away with the
 worst evils of the open saloon. was the removal of effort to secure a profit.
 In the Gothenburg system. as it is called. the liquor seller Is the saIarIed
 agent of the state. employed at a fixed compensation to sell intoxicants to those that desire them and there is no incentive of any kind for the agent to increase his sales or to promote ais business. But the South Carolina sys- tenn Of state dispensaries was quite different There the state agency was made a source of profit, both to the EE&Q8A EAEI H4 LE1t S35iEE aLfsA 10 me selling agent became a desirable one and recent disclosures show that in one instance the sum of sZ75 and a gold watch were paid tO secure tho position of dispenser st Spartanburg.

"One of the boys who learned to be a printer in this office is now president of national bank in the Indian Terri tory" says the Eldorado, Mo. Repub- lican. "A printers devil of ours is a big lawyer in Denver and spends his summers in Europe. Another boy who worked in this office for years is cash fer of a bank in Oklahoma. A boy who started in as devil, and after wards got to be foreman, is to-day a big clothing merchant, lives like a prince, has a fine home, an elegant family and everything. to make him happy. But boys of to-day who are hunting work are hard to find This office wants boy" When you notice the number of boys and young men going daily in the afternoon to some show, you must conclude they are not hunting work. The boy who is banker. ing after a trade is hard to find. But you can always find large class of cigarette and pipe-smoking young men loafing around saying, "There is no chance for boys like us these days" Of course there is no chance for the young man whose ambition is to se-. cure job where his employer will do all the work and the employe draws the bulk of the finances. The world is not built that way. The crying need of the times Is reliable help. There is a chance now, and always has been, for sober, industrious, reliable help, young men who will take an interest in their employers business and work without watching the clock. And the demand for that class of young men proves conclusively that they are in the minority at the present time.

HERD OF WHALES MIXED.

 Fluid Said to He Rich In Nutrftave
 and Medicinal Qualities.
 Professor Muller of St. Johns, N. F., who was the first man to discover that whale flesh could be prepared for eat ing, has now succeeded in domesticat- ing herd of more than fifty sulphur COW whales and has perfected an appa- ratus for milking them, says dispatch from St. Johns. N. F., to the Philadel- phia North American.
 The milk is fresh and sweet and pc culiarly rich in nutritive and medicinal qualities. The yield from full grown whale is from five to seven hogsheads a day. It is much thicker and richer than the best cows milk and possesses a peculiarly pleasant and distinctive flavor, which those who have tasted it pronounce superior to any kaown milk. Chemical analysis has shown that the milk of the sulphur. whale is rich in those products which give to cod liver oil It's value as a remedial r00d.
 Professor Muller has invented and patented a process for making leather from the internal membranes of the whale. When tanned and finished it is of great durability and fine texture.
 Besides its superior quality the whale leather furnishes single pieces of much greater dimensions than it is possible to procure from any other animal. It is possible, according to the inventor, to obtain from the skin of full grown sulphur whale strip of leather about 300 feet in length and three and half feet in breadth. From the pleu- ral lining tube of leather twenty-five feet in diameter can be obtained.

 The keel plate of the Dreadnought,
 which is to be the most powerful bat
 tleship in the world, has been laid at
 Portsmouth, England, says London
 cable to the New York World. Her displacement will be 1900 tons She will be armed with ten twelve-inch guns of the latest type, each capable of throwing 960 pound shell dis tance of twenty miles, with muzzle velocity of upward of 2,500 feet a sec ond. Her striking power will be as great as any three battleships of or dinary type at such range as that at which the engagement opened in the battle of Tsushima strait, for no other warship hitherto has mounted more than four twelve-inch guns, so there is nothing afioat that can stand up against her in sea action.
 About 11,000 tons of armor will be built into her hull, and the Dread nought will be driven by turbines at twenty knots speed. For the first time on record on a battleship the off cers' quarters will be placed forward. the designers chief difficulty being to provide accommodation for the 300 officers and men, owing to the great demands on her space made by ammu- milton, storage of coal, etc.
 She will carry 800 tons of projectiles for her main guns, 200 tons of cordite charges, 300 tons of stores, 2,500 tons of coal and guns to a weight of 600 tons without mountings. She is design ed to be floating fortress of the most formidable type.

 The Boer colony of farmers in Mexico have accepted an offer to settle in southwest Texas, in the new country recently opened up by the Brownsville road, says a dispatch from Galveston, Tex.

 Fifty families are ready to move from Chihuahua, Mexico, where they have been robbed of their investments and labor by the faulty land records. After building their homes and tilling the soil the Boers found they could not perfect titles and sought to get back their money, but the Mexicans refused and threatened to confscate the pos sessions. The Boers have appealed to the Mexican government for relief.
