RAILROAD FOR MONT BLANC
Swiss Engineers Propose Novel
Method for LINE 60 Famous

railway almost to = 1T OF the

"a Swiss syndicate % IS received the

the roof Of Europe.
The syndicate which has obtained the
concession is at present completing an
aerial line to the summit Of the Wetter-
horn. II now proposes to build similar
line from the valley of Chamonix TO the
summit Of the Aiguile du Midi. peak
nearly 12co0 feet high, IA the center OF
the Mont Blanc range.
According to the contract an ordinary
funicular railway will Join the existing
system at Chamonix. The double aerial
cables will begin al tho first Alpine station
near the Glacier des Blossoms at height
Of over 1000 feet
The cost is estimated at about sl0oO,mo,
and is believed that the project will take
four years to carry out. The first and
easiest half will take only year, and
tourists may be able 10 ascend to the
Glacier des Blossoms at the end Of next
summer.
The line will skirt a score of glaciers,
dozens of crevasses and unfathomable
precipices and will give those who Go not
care for climbing the Alps on foot an idea
of the dangers and the pleasures of noun
taineering.
To ride on this railway will give the
passenger a series Of thrills which no other
line in the world can Oxford. II is believed

In an interview several days age
Hon. ira E. Robinson. of Grafton. in
answer to q question as TO whether he
would be a candidate for congress or
not. made the following statement
Il am a candidate only in the sense
of having a laudable ambition to serve
the people in congress, and a willing
ness to accept a nomination and make
a vigorous campaign. But a general
scramble for the nomination is neither
becoming the dignity of the office,
nor is for the good Of the party. If
the nomination comes to me it must
tbe hv the free voice and will of the
people if the republican party in the
district, and not by manipulation. In
justice TO my family, my profession
and my party, | must take this posi-
ton and unaltsrahly maintain it.
SHOULD / ever h We the honor of
congressional service, | propose to
take up such duties free and untram'
meled by promise or combinations of
any kind. and with absolute liberty to
do nv whole duty as right and con-
science, in the light of the golden
rule, dictate.
Let us keep Que object in view
the sure redemption this veal of the
second congressional district. 1t is a
slime for cautious deliberation in the
selection OF a standard bearer. The
success of the party and the absolute
redemption of the district must be put
above any one mans personal ambi-
tion. The district has many good
men. 1t is too 0 and the situa.
tion has not yet developed far enough.
for the party to see clearly who is
best fitted for the place. Hasty action
and vigorous antagonism are the
worst errors that can be made in the
present contingency"
Mr.. Robinson's idea, as above set
forth, Of entering the congressional
race is, we think. a proper one. If
ne were to commence an active can
Vass for the nomination it would only
cause other aspirants to work the
more vigorously hence another fight
like the one of two years g would
be on hand, which would result, no
doubt, in a political disaster. Mr..
>aobinsop, therefore, is right in tax
ing the stand he has. He is a man of
5more than average ability, a lawyer
OF sterling integrity, and should he
receive the nomination for cons ress

Unhappily the president and several
democratic senators have had a tilt
on the railroad rate bill. As TO who
is in the wrong we are not able to

railroad rate legislation may have
