MONEY is the poorest OF aims.
Helen Hunt Jackson-that muse
who, when death unstrung her Tyre,
was allowed to sleep i'll the bosom
of the clouds where the eagles
make .heir home said:
If ! can live
To make some pale face brighter, and to
give
A second 1ustre to some tear-dimmed
eye,
Or cen impart
One throb of comfort to an aching heart
Or cheer some wayworn soul in pass
ing by;
II I can lend
A strong hand to the fallen, or defend
The right against a single envious
strain,
My life, though bare,
Perhaps, of much that seemtd dear and
fair
To us on earth, will not have been in
xaif,

On THE tomb of Joseph II, of
Austria, in the royal cemetery at
Vienna, is this pitiable epitaph,
prepared by the king himself
Here lies monarch who. with
the best intentions, never carried
out single plan. If the truth
were known today. great many
epithaps would be scratched out
and this one put in their place.

THIS being an off-year iii politics,
the results of the elections to be
held tomorrow are not of such
great moment as when the choice
of a new national administration is
pending. Still, the results in some
states will be watched with more
interest than is usual perhaps in
off years. Particularly is this true
of New York, where the democratic
nominee for governor, Vim. r.
Hearst has against him not only
the republican organization of the
state, but many leading members
of his own party. The great inter
est displayed in the situation in
that state by the president himself,
who through his mouthpiece, Sec
rotary of State Root, has denounced
Hearst in very severe and even
personal terms, has had the effect
of focusing the attention of the
entire country upon the New York
election, and the results in that
state will be watched with the most
intense interest all over the United
States. The unusually bitter op-
position to Mr.. Hearst has given
the man greater prominence than
be could ever have achieved of his
own efforts.

Now will our good friends, the
republicans, give US change of
speakers? Give us dyed-in-the-
wool republican. We have been
patient in listening to the men
whom you have offered US hereto
fore, and be it said in justice, they
were not bad. One of them was
born and raised a democrat; the
other is an ophan of populism.
Either give us a man whom we
can believe sincere, and disinterest-
ed, or give us rest.

BROWNSVILLE ROAD
SPLENDIDLY BUILT
Examined by Railroad Commission En-.
eineer to Fix Value for Bond Issue.

A recent press dispatch from
Austin, Texas, says:
K. A. Thompson. engineer of
the Railroad Commission, has
completed an examination of the
physical property of the St. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico between
Robstown and Bay City, distance
of $40 miles, and has fixed a value
on same, as basis for an issuance
of bonds. The road is said to be
splendidly built.
Men are queer. Wouldn't there
be a roar when they went home to
their meals if they had to climb
upon a high stool in front of a
table on which there was no cloth,
and eat their meals in that fashion?
Yet a majority of men, when they
go to d restaurant to eat, will pick
out high stool and feed-board
with no cloth on it, in preference
to a comfortable chair and cloth
covered table. A man will borrow
a chew of tobacco and most of
them will set their teeth into the
plug right over where some other
man gnawed out chew. Offer
him a piece of pie at home from
which his wife or one of the
children has taken a bite and he
would boiler his head off. At
home he would not drink out of a
glass or cup from which some
member of the family had been
drinking. Call him into the back
stall of barn, pull out a bottle,
and he will stick the neck of the
bottle talf way down his throat to
get a swig, after a half dozen other
fellows have had the neck of the
bottle in their mouths. A man is
a queer duck.-Ex.

Denver.-A Georgetown dispatch
says that Denver company has been
awarded the contract for building the
aerial scenic line. This line will ex-
tend from a point above the Colorado
& Southern pavilion at Silver Plume
to Sunset peak on LeaVenworth noun
tain. a distance of $1,000 feet. Three
wire tramways. one and one-half inches
thick, will be used. Forty cars, with a
capacity of seating four passengers
each. have been ordered, and contracts
for electricity have been made with
the United Hydro.Electric Company.
This road, if such it may be termed.
will prove one OF the great scenic at
fractions in Colorado. From Sunset
cast the ewes over 100 peaks, having
an elevation of over 1900 feet. n
dancing pavilion is to be constructed,
ard entertainment provided for those
who take advantage of this air jour
ney. The contract states that the line
must be in operation by July 18th.

SAN FRANCISCO AID.
Interesting Statistics Furnished by the
Southern Pacific.

San Francisco.-According to the re-
port of the statistician of the Southern
Pacific, that company, up to and IN
GLIDING May 18th. had handled free
into this city l,G35 cars of supplies for
the relief of the fire sufferers.
Sixty-seven cities and towns of the
Golden State gave a carload or more
of provisions to the Southern Pacific
to transport to San Francisco within
ten days after the disaster. Hardly
less remarkable is Oregon's record.
Down over the Shasta route twenty
two Oregon cities sent carload or
more of supplies to San Francisco be-
fore the end of April
OF the eastern states sending gen
erous contributions in carload lots, Ne
braska secured first place in the num-
Der of cities contributing a carload or
more. Up to the end of April, twenty
three cities and towns in Nebraska
had forwarded carload or more each
of provisions for San Francisco.
The largest single item carried was
flour. of which over G.oOO tons were
brought to San Francisco between
April 18th and May 10Th. In the three
weeks succeeding the fire the potatoes
delivered aggregated III cars, or iif
teen pounds for every iuhabitant of the
city. Canned goods amounted to about
ten pounds each. The provisions and
supplies that had no other designa-
ton totaled over $4,000 tons before the
10th of May, or sixty pounds for ev-
cry resident of the city.

In 1896 the Mexican government
made claim upon the United States

In 1898 the Rio Grande Canal ard Ir.

rejected by the Interior Department,
whereupon Representative Brooks took
