WOULD ELECT THEM ANNUALLY
Every Voter to Have the Right to
Name His Man.

Name His Man.
The reporter asked how Bonaparte
would choose his proposed "legalized
boss" "Hc ought to be elected an
nually," said the secretary, "by the le-
gal voters Of his party at a primary
held under all the sanctions Of law,
and at which only this one Office =
or rather, position-shOuld be filled
Each voter would only have to say
whom he considered the best man in
the party TO be constituted a nominal
ing convention of one for all elective
Offices within the state, city or cOun-
ty, as the case might be. This would
be very simple duty, and 1 am in
clined to think it could be satisfactory
~ performed by the average voter.
Il likewise think it probable that no
one of the persons who have been
known as bosses since l have known
something about politics would have
been elected at such a primary. Per
haps it might be wise to provide that
the 'nomirator' or 'legalized boss
have suggested should be himself dis
qualified TO hold public office, but of
ills am not sure; there are certain
~ two sides to the question"
The secretary was then asked wheth-
or be expected to get up an agitation
III favor of establishing "legalized
bosScs." mo" he said, 1.-THE thoughts
I have just expressed are crude and
undeycloped, and probably worth nc
mere than youwill pay for them. More
over I fear l am getting decidedly
into the serc and yellow for purposes
Of political agitation; perhaps for 9th
er purposes, also. But l am inclined to
! the telief that if somebody with half
| my years and four times my leisure
would take these ideas up seriously
he might, perhaps, work out something
Of benefit to the public and tending
| to promote good government"

New YORK Election Results.

New York. Nov 12.-The only new
thing in the political situation in this
state is the discovery Of discrepancies
between the police election returns
and those given out as official. The
notable feature of this discovery is
that in each case the police returns
are favorable to the Republican candi
dates, so much so that if these re
turns are correct they probably would
elect Bruce (Rep0 lieutenant governor.

A HoGsHEAD OF CIDER.

Davies Herkimer, the noted political
economist, said of modern politics, in
an address on reform that he delivered
in Cleveland.
Modern politics are entirely too
tricky. The average candidate, when
he enters the political struggle, lets
plain dealing go by the board. What,
then, is the result? The result is some
thing altogether something
that reminds me of a Western clergy
man.
This clergyman was very fond of
cider. His congregation, meeting Sc
cretly last autumn, decided that it
would surprise him with hogshead of
the beverage he loved, and arranged to
hold a surprise party at the manse,
each member to bring a demijohn of
cider, and to empty it into a huge
hogshead in the garden.
The party duly came off. The guests
brought their demijohns, emptied them
into the hogshead, and Toasted after
ward in the manse on apples, nuts
and gingerbread.
'At the height of the feasting, the
clergyman host was told of the full
hogshead that stood without the door
and, overjoyed, the good man said to
his servant
q Jane, take pitcher, fill it at the
hogshead. and bring it in that we may
sample it
The maid withdrew into the dark
ness, and soon returned with heI
pitcher trimming with-clear water.
For each tricky guest had filled his
demijohn at the pump thinking that
amid so much cider his aqueous con-
tribution would escape unnoticed. But
this trickery, like the trickery of mod
ern politics, had been a little too unani-
nous"

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
on THE RIO GRANDE

Rio Grande engineers are at work
surveying on either side of Tennessee
Pass, the point where the broad gauge
crosses the continental divide, with the
intention, 1t Is said, of either double
tracking the present line or finding
route for second track
The steep grades of the western ap-
proach to the summit Of the pass slow
up traffic along the entire main line,
causing trains from the west to often
be late in spite of the fact that some
times two helpers in addition to the
regular locomotive are used. 1t is the
only point where delays are common,
except at Summit, Utah, where grades
are equally steep.
Surveys have been made up branch
canons from the main line in Eagle
canon, in the vicinity OF Red Cliff. Just
which route will finally be accepted
is yet undecided. as the engineers are
still in the field. That the surveyors
are in the field during the winter 10 an
Indication that the company is in con-
siderable hurry.
There is a great shortage of locomo-
tives on the Rio Grande at present,
especially in passenger locomotives.
The machines now in use have to be
worked so hard that there are fire.
