WHY THEY PONDER.

The conservative Democrats, and
after all this class seems to actually
dominate the party, are bordering
deeply. Bryan's unmistakable sign of
radicalism has set them to thinking.
There is absolutely nothing in his
Madison Garden speech or in his ut
terance since that indicate that Bry-
an has grown except in radicalism
And if the face of the criticism
offered, Mr.. Bryan says he expect
ed opposition; that he always had it
and always expects to have it. 1t
might be added that from all appear
ances at this stage of the game. Mr.
Bryan is to gett.a double distilled
dose of opposition that will render
him out of the running before 1908 is
sentative Democrats, the rank and
file of the party. will be wondering
what sort of relief is to be expected.
The idea of accepting from 'typi
cal American" ideas that come from
foreign nations. is not to the liking
of the average man. be he Democrat
or Republican, and Mr.. Bryans para
mount issue, Government ownership
of railroads has been imported and
along this very line, the New York
Times of Monday said
In country like Germany. with
$4,000 miles of railroads, or in France
with $4,000 miles, the fiscal problems
involved in Government ownership
and operation are not of dominant
of railroads it is different. The I'M
dertaking is too big to be entered up
on in gayety Of heart and lightness
Of head. Mr. Bryan will find that it
is too big when he sits down to Ella
borate his plan and favor the public
with details. In fact. the submission
of his theories to serious practical ex-
animation is superfiuous task
They are so visionary and so wild
they lie so far outside the domain of
the rational and the attainable. and
they are so absolutely certain of ov-
erwhelming rejection by the people
of the United States. that his contin-
ued presentation and advocacy of
them are interesting mainly because
of their effect upon his political for
tunes. 1t has been the belief of many
wise observers of American politics
that the nomination in 1908 of Mr..
Bryan, with his great popularity.
would compel the Republicans to
nominate Mr.. Roosevelt as his oppon-
ent, it being supposed that under the
compulsion of the party's need to put
forward its strongest man he would
reconsider his expressed determine
ton not to run again. We are of the
opinion that Mr.. Bryan's Madison
Square Garden escapade leaves the
Republicans free to respect Mr.. Roos-
evelt's wish, and to select as their
candidate some other man. 1t also

The "Old Man" had left the sick

for the autocrat OF the squadron.
King lived four days more. On

his eyes / fiercely demanded his sur.
render He said there was no need
of making so much fuss about it, He
would surrender.
L at once removed the pressure,
assisted my prisoner to his feet,
patted him into shape, introduced my.
self, learned that his name was John
Folsom, and we proceeded 10 get
breakfast We felt better after that,
and in friendly spirit discussed the
situation. 1t was clear to US that,
II we went toward Louisville on
the road before us. we were
just as liable to meet confedeTates
as unionists. Therefore we agreed
that we would go forward, each one
carrying his own gun. II we struck

prisoner; If We came upon a confed-
crate picket line. / was his prisoner
This seemed to both OF US a very
good plan. But the times were out Of
joint, and the first man We met was
a suspicious civilian hitching his horse
to a light wagon. He wanted to know
why in thunder we we're going about
together that way. I explained that
the confederate was my prisoner. He
wanted TO know why In Sam Hill i

We made good time and had Just

to permit a quick journey to Louis

when we saw three confederate cav

By this time the clause in the DrotO

wall Of rock, 5000 feet above; but
when darkness falls. the station at
once catches the eye, for the three
recesses are brilliantly Illuminated,
and the beams OF a powerful electric
searchlight, fixed in one OF them,
sweep high across the valley. It looks
like a lighthouse OF outpost OF triumph
In region Of unearthly mystery and
danger.
Beyond, the line describes a great
curve, and after traversing the lime
stone layer which forms the Elger, II
passes towards the southeast slope Of
the mountain, and then turns towards
the Eiger ridge, whene it runs in
nearly a straight line up to the Jung
frau. Under the Eiger ridge, in the
grand and imposing Viescherwand,
lies the new Eismeer station. at an al
titude Of 1902 feet, and distance
from Scheldegg OF three miles. BY
this time we are well above the line
OF perpetual snow and ice, and the
tourist looks out on glacial surround
ings Of the most magnificent charac-
ter. We are surrounded, in fact. by a
sea OF ice, as the name implies. II is
a sheer drop Of $50 feet from the gal.
leries to the ice-field, and the descent
can be made by rope-ladder. From
here the view embraces the deeply
creyassed Grindelwald Fiescherfirn "a
glacier in the making), the Bergli Hut
the whole chain OF the Schreckhorner.
and the desolate stretches OF ice and
snow that lie between the last-named
and the Eiger. Thence, running deer
under the large slope Of the ridge, the
line takes the direction Of the Monch
and passes vertically under the sum
NIT towards the Upper Monchjoch
Continuing in the same direction, Il
dips towards the Jungfraujoch, and
reaches the fifth intermediate station.
which stands at an altitude Of 11,142
feet.
The construction OF the line has so
far been slow and laborious under
taking, chiefly owing to the intense
hardness Of the limestone and gneiss
through which the great tunnel is be-
ing driven, and the only compensation
is the fact that it requires no lining
Of brick or masonry.
The dimensions OF the tunnel are
IA feet in height by IL feet in breadth.
The first section Of the line, to Eiger-
gletscher, was opened for traffic in the
summer Of 1898, a year after con-
mencement; the fourth, from Eiger-
wand to Eismeer, in August, 1905; and
It IS now anticipated the whole line
will be finished about 1910. Then, and
not till then, the once inaccessible
summit, that was trodden by human
foot for the first time in 1911 land the
feat was repeated only four times in
