Another Try at the Cup.

Sir Thomas Upton, with the view of
making another effort to lift the America 8
cup, is looking for designer. Let us hope
that he finds one. and comes over with a
good boat. He is a very fine specimen of
a dead game sport" and over here we like
to race with him. We have seen him on
the hard side-seen him only as a loser.
But he loses so well that. for the sake of
seeing such manly fellow In victory, one
could almost wish against the American
boat at the next trial. Criticism is not
allayed as to what we call mere racing
machines, but the next contest will prob
ably show boats on that order. and built
with little regard for anything but cutting
swiftly through the water. The racing
yacht is not much more than a sports
mans expensive toy.

country. The railroads of the United
States employ thousands of telegraph
operators who are under no sort Of check
whatever. They are in very many cases
overworked and underpaid. To exc out
their incomes they do extra work and re-
port for duty out of condition. In this
particular instance the fault really lay
with the superior officials of that division
of the line. who should have known all
the circumstances of this mans state of
mind and body. These operators and dis
patchers stand for the final check between
the train system and disaster. Upon their
endurance. their memory and often their
judgment rests the fate of hundreds of
lives in each division of the average rail-
road. The track is inspected constantly.
The car wheels are tapped frequently to
ascertain their condition. But 1t seems to
be considered sufficient to station man
alongside a telegraph key and instruct
him to obey orders.
These workers are subject to a great
strain at all times and however mechan-
ically they perform their work they are
kept upon tension that sooner or later
causes them to fail in some emergency.
The human system is far more subject to
arrangement than the track or the wheels,
or the boilers of the locomotives, or the
signaling apparatus. They are exposed to
an infinity of demoralizing influences. Yet
while the track walkers and wheel tappers
go systema tically through their routine of
examination, it is taken for granted that
the men at the key are all right at all times.
If some way could be found to relieve these
men of part of the pressure now put upon
them, TO keep them at work for shorter
periods, to pay them more literally, and to
hold them under scrutiny to see that they
keep in good condition. it is not to be
doubted that the record of accidents would
be reduced by many per cent.

Salt River.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.


1t will create disappointment in political
circles to learn that Congressman D, K
Smith has been unable to secure an app ro-
priatson from Congress to improve the riayi-
cation of Salt river. In the early DAYS Of
the last century, when Shepherdsville, the
county seat of Bulitt county. which lies on
its banks, was place of considerable COM
mercial Importance from the manufacture
Of salt from the wells near by a magistrate
upon conyicting persons of drunkenness
and other offenses against good order would
sentence them to be "rOwed up Salt river "
From this the term came to be applied to
unsuccessful candidates for political Office.
and was once current over the whole coun-
try. This is the true history of the saying.
The river was in early days an important
commercial stream, the products of the
counties through which 1t runs, as whisky,
corn bacon. salt. etc.. being sent down On
tides. In datboats. to the Ohio and thence
to New Orleans. Perhaps it may never
have the advantage of slackwater naviga-
ton. 1t may not be locked, but in polit-
ical sense 1t has been damned for genera
tons.

The Senatorial Elections.

The legislatures are now in the various
stages of electing senator's to succeed those
who retire on the 4th of March. Yesterday
the republicans of the Connecticut legisla-
ture nominated Ex-Governor Buckley and
that state is removed from the list of pos
sible deadlocks this season. There will
probably be fewer Of these exhibitions of IN
ability to agree this winter than usual. The
Delaware deadlock is here again, as for
many years past with the seat now held
by DIR. Ball in the balance. There is a fight
on among the republicans of Montana
where former Senator Carter leads the field
in the race for Senator Gibson's seat. OF
the other states where contests are to be
expected little has developed thus far. The
situation In Nevada. where Mr.. Stewart is
to be replaced by another republican: In
Nebraska. where Mr.. Dietrich, according to
report. will step aside for another of his
own faith; In Washington where Mr. Fos-
ter may not be reelected: in Wyoming,
where Mr.. Clark is not assured of another
term. and in Wisconsin, where Mr.. Quarles
is slated for retirement may yet work out
to the point of deadiocks, but there is no
present expectation of such a result in all
five, and there may be no serious trouble
in any of these commonwealth The Cali
fornia fight was quickly ended In favor of
Mr. Flint. who Will take the seat now held
By Mr. Bard. In Utah there was no delay
in the nomination of Mr.. Sutherland Rep
resentatiye Hemenway was chs a without
friction by the Indiana republicans to sue
coed Mr.. Fairbanks. and In New York the
possibilities of contest over Mr.. Depew's
seat were speedily dissipated. The Mary
land senatorship was last winter awarded
by the democrats to Mr.. Rayner &xter a
stubborn fight, and SO that state is removed

Tea, the purest and most delicious
tea on the market. 1t is the most
popular because it is blend of the
young and most tender tea pickings
and thus suited to all tastes. 1t is
not sold in bulk from chests or can
listers, but in packages, which pre-
serves its aroma and strength and
provides against it becoming insipid
and distasteful, as tea viii when con-
tinuously exposed to the air.

The Recall Election"

The city of Los Angeles, Cal. has just
tried an experiment in municipal govern
ment which Is full of interesting possibili-
ties for expansion and wider application
1t is popularity known as the recall cleo
ton" by which Is provided means of de-
ppiving of his Office any person who after
election, proves himself unworthy Of trust
Los Angeles adopted this in the form of an
amendment to the city charter, voted upon
in December, 1902. 1t provides that 1.-THE
holder of any elective Office may be re-
moved at any time by the electors quail
fed to vote for the successor of such in
cumbent." Whenever one-fourth of the
qualified voters file q petition with the city
clerk for the removal of any official that
officer is required to certify the fact to the
council, which must thereupon issue a call
for a special election to take place not less
than thirty nor more than forty days there
after. Unless the accused official specifi-
cally requests in writing that his name be
not printed, it must be included on the
official ballot with those of other candi-
dates.
Not long ago some Of the voters Of a ward
Of Los Angeles determined to put the new
provision to a test in an attempt to rid the
city council Of their representative, who
had become obnoxious to his constituents
Their petition was honored by call for
special election and they nominated a local
physician of good repute. The other man
was re-endorsed by the party machine and
sharp fight ensued. resulting in the defeat
of the sitting member by two-thirds vote
The advantage of this process of Kidding
the community OF faithless. corrupt or in
competent officials is obvious. 1t Is direct
simple and not so costly as the ordinary
legal procedure OF removal with charges
filed and calling for proof On the other
hand. it may possibly prove to be produc-
tive Of trouble in point of general practice
In that it may give rise to useless and I'M
justifiable accusations. 1t is not difficult to
foresee such moves to annoy a member of
council or an administrator or a Judge
The information at hand does not show
whether the expense of the recall cleo
ton" is borne by the city, the petitioners
Or the accused. There should be some pro-
vision against putting an official unjustly
accused 10 the trouble. anxiety and ex-
pense of second election without safe
guards for b. protection.
At the same time the moral effect Of such
law is certain to be pronounced With
the possibility of a petition being flied at
any time for a recall election the aver
age municipal official will probably be on
his good behavior There is at least the
possibility Of bringing open charges of
malfeasance or corruption to a focus in
this way and many an administrative.
judicial or executive officer who is now.
AFTER election, utterly callous to public
opinion would be likely TO pay stricter heed
under the recall system to the indica-
lions Of popular disapproval

Skyscrapers as Weather Makers.

rofn Tue Cnicaeo news.
One OF the unforeseen problems introduced
to civilization by the coming of the sky

Secret Of Longevity.
From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

London newspaper has been asking a
number of very old men for the secret ~
their long life. The replies are of the sort
commonly heard. One lives long because
he has taken wine every day in moderation,
another because he has never tasted wine
one finds sovereign virtue In modera te
physical exercise, another Is convinced that
ne lives long because he keeps his body
quiet and his mind active. All OF which
means that each man has followed HIS
natural inclination, never exceeded the
measure fixed by good sense, and really
thought little or nothing about It.

Heroes.

When you're giving out the medals for the
heroes of today,
You ought to have some special ones Sc
curely put away
For men whose brave achievements, and
the things that they endure,
Claim greater share Of glory from the
fact that they're obscure.
You ought to give medal that is most too
big to lift
To the man who smokes those strong ci-
gars-his good wife's Christmas gift.
You ought to make a medal for that man
of noble mind
Who keeps his sidewalk clear of snow be-
cause his heart is kind.
The car conductor who is overwhelmed
with petty cares,
Who has to be polite while dunning people
for their fares;
The railroad ticket seller who must listen
to the grief
OF travellers who somehow think that he
can give relief:
The salesman in the store who has to hear
each patrons plant,
And is expected to display the patience OF
saint

tice you'll confess
Every man who does his duty is q. hero
