fortunes Fantastic Tum of the wheel.

NJ. Winston Churchill has not only
played joke on fortune, but has become
the central figure in a drama IN real life
more novel than any creation Of his own
brain A writer OF fiction himself, lie
finds. through one Of those strange freaks
of fate, that he is in a real position un-
dreamed Of in his widest flights of imag-
NATIVE fancy.
There IS a curious provision in the con-
stitHtion Of New Hampshire, which says
that no man shall be declared elected gov
ernor who fails to receive a majority vote
Of all cast. The count OF the vote cast
shows his accredited successful rival to
be just ten votes short Of the required
majority. Under the law, the election of
the governor now devolves upon the Iegis-
l1tuTe. Right upon the heels Of the SEN
sationally narrow margin by which Mr..
Floyd, the opposition candidate. failed cf
a popular majority comes the informa-
ton that there are so many Republicans
I'm the legislature who favor Churchill
that the Floyd men viii be compelled to
elect Churchill to the Senate in order TO
land Floyd in the governors :. chair.
Was ever fictitious story more fanciful
than that? Did ever Mr.. Churchill
imagine a plot more full Of human inter
est and more interesting in detail? A seat
in the Senate Of the United States is
generally the goal toward which man
aims when he seeks the governorship OF a
State. II may not have been so in Mr.
Churehilrs case. but If he wins the Sem
atorship, 1t will be conceded a greater
prize than the governorship. That he
will be awarded the Senatorship now
seems pretty well settled. Il is sure that
he stands upon the threshold of career
ndreamed of. I'D to a very few days
ago.

TNTERoCEANIC RAILROAD.
Importance Of Tehuantepec Project
Not Generally Understood.

From the Nez YORK Tribune.
Few public works OF comparable mag
nitude and Importance have ever been
carried to completion with so little talk
and attention as the greater interoceanic
railroad at Tehuantepec. It might well
have been the subject Of the worlds talk.
on historic grounds. since it follows pret-
~ closely the route surveyed by Cortez
and Montezuma for either an isthmian
canal or a land highway between the
seas; II comedies with the right Of way
which President Polk sought to secure
from Mexico at a cost of S15, ,000.09o. and
It is, mutatis mutandis, in a way Of
realization Of James B. Ead's most i'm
posing scheme OF transisthmlan traffic.
But Sir Weetman Pearson and his men
have gone about their work as unpreten-
tiously as though they were merely dig
ging a drain in Little Pedlington, and the
world in general has let them go on un-
needed.
Yet that railroad is probably destined to
effect changes in the worlds commercial
routes and in the tides Of trade greater
than any other achievement on these con-
tinents has done. save only the Panama
Railroad, and that IL will speedily sur
pass and surplant the latter there can
be little doubt. For this is no one-horse
AFFAIR, but a thoroughly frst-class raH-
road of the most improved type, with
secure and capacious terminal harbOrs,
artificially constructed, and all facilities for
handling expeditiOusly an enormous vol
ume Of commerce. II has been built not
merely 10 supplant the Panama Railroad,
but also TO be rival TO the Panama
Canal itself and there can be little doubt
that its rivalry VIII be powerful. though,
OF course, there is no reason to fear that
il viii preclude the success OF the canal.
II is announced that the railroad and its
terminal ports will be opened for traffic
next month At that time or early in
January the fleets Of the American-Ha-
waiian Line with a carrying capacity Of
l0S.000 tons, will begin regular service In
connection herewith, both on the Pacific
and in the Gulf. Every European line
now running to Mexico, and many OF
those running to Central America and the
north coast of South America, viii add
C0atzacoalcos 10 their list Of ports of
call Various Pacific lines viii also con-
verge upon Salina Cruz Within 4 year
We may expect 10 see q score Of steam
ship lines connecting with this railroad
and making these two ports among Ihe
busiest in that part OF the world Thus
years before the Panama Canal is opened
numerous routes Of commerce viii be well
established az TehuantepeC, and it will
not be the easiest Of tasks 20 WOO them
away from that isthmus to Panama. For
all trdffic north Of the equator the Te-
huantepec route will have great advan-
tage In distance and tiIne, and for some
purposes that will counterbalance Pana-
mas advantage Of an unbrOkeu water
way. But in time. we doubt not there

PEOPLE OF NOTE.
sfr. Knox.s First nenla1.


Ever since he emerged suddenly from
the privacy Of his law Offices in Pittsburg
into public life at the call Of President
Mckinley. the charge persistently has
been made that the Hon PhilandeT c.
Knox was, or had been. the attorney Of
the giant steel trust. Mr.. Knox has
postponed to this good day-and that
after the elections are all over-a public
denial Of the charge. In an interesting
article contributed to a New York Sunday
paper the distinguished Pennsyivanian
goes even further, and asserts that he
was never a trust lawyer of any sort.
This is what he says:
notwithstanding the reiterated asser-
ton that l have been a trust lawyer. /
have been throughout my career at the
bar the lawyer of persons rather than OF
impersonal, intangible, and unified inter
csts. l could invariably work better for
a man than corporation. ] had no
part whatever In the creation OF the
United States Steel Corporation. as has
been alleged. When ! took the Office OF
Attorney General Of the United States, I
severed all connections with my law part
ners in PittsbuTg. and wholly abandoned
my law practice"
During the progress OF the heated de-
pate OF the railroad rate bill last spring.
Senator Tiliman charged Senator Knox
with having been the attorney at one
time OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Mr.
Knox was out of the Senate chamber at
the time, and It was expected that when
he returned and learned Of the Tillmsn
charge there would be a lively scene. The
Pennsylvanian merely stated that he had
never been attorney for the Pennsylvania
Railroad, nor employed in any other ca
pacity 10y that corporation, and sat down.

John sharp williams speaks wisely.


John Sharp Williams has taken issue
With Gov. Vardaman on the question OF
repeating the fifteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution, which repeal the
governor has made one Of the features
of his campaign for the United States
Senatorship. Mr. Williams, in an ad-
dress at Jackson, declared repeal OF the
amendment impossible. and the agitation
for. it mere political claptrap. He did not
think its yepeal would afford any remedy
for race troubles. II would not. ne said
change the nature of the evil-dispOsed
blacks. nor would it prevent a single out
rage or murder" He believed in work
ing out the race problem calmly and con-
servatively, making the best of the situa-
ton as il is, and without waging war
on the negro as a negro. Strike at the
root Of the evil" he is reported as say
ing, which is the idle and vicious negro.
Deal firmly with the bad and honestly
with the good"
These words Of truth and soberness
shine by contrast with the frantic out
bursts OF Southern political leaders Of
the Nardaman class whenever the race
problem is their topic Fortunately lead
ers Of that type are not numerous. and
that we are warranted in believing they
misrepresent the true feeling OF the South
would appear from the reception given
10 Mr. Williams deHverance On the race
question. which, according 20 a newspaper
account. was "Cheered from the center
10 the farthest outskirts of the overflow
ing audience" The South would do much
TO moilify the asperities of the race ques-
ton if it would repudiate politicians OF
the Nardaman temperament.

Secretary Roots Trin.

Secretary Root is about TO depart on a
Western trip for the purpose OF address,
ing several commercial organizations. His
topic viii he South America. and we may
expect some interesting and valuable OBJ
seTVatiOns gathered in the course Of the
Secretary's recent visit to the southern
continent. That our state of knowledge
respecting the South American republics
requires considerable illumination goes
without saving. Though our near neigh
bors. we enjoy but meager acquaintance
with their modes of life, their methods Of
self-government. and their progress in
arts and INDUSTRY They are best known
TO us through their frequent revolutions.
but these have for many years been Of so
trifiing a nature as scarcely TO merit the
cost of cable tolls 10 tell of them; and
over immense territories peace has reign
ed without interruption long enough TO
permit the development of highly civilized
communities and the rapid growth Of
agriculture, manufactures, and commerce.
No considerable military or naval forces
are maintained by any South American
state, for they are on fairly good terms
with each other. and the Monroe doctrine
protects them all from external aggres-
sion
Promotion Of friendly relations with
these growing republics and encourage
ment Of trade with them have been
cardinal features OF governmental policy
since the time of Blaine. But the lines OF
oversee commerce tend to run east and
products comes from Europe chiefly. and
we naturally buy largely in the market
where we sell. Our tariff has stood In the
way Of a free market for some important
South American exports, though the
severity Of our imposts has in some in
stances been mitigated By reciprocity
treaties, and the lack Of transportation
facilities has further contributed to retard
Pan-AmeTican trade. The Panama canal,
in the nature Of things, will not contribute
greatly to the development Of this trade.
for the bulk Of our north and south
commerce must always be with the coun-
tries to the east of the Andes. those 70
the west having smaller areas and fewer
natural resources.
We have no doubt Secretary Root viii
be able 10 make very pertinent sUgges-
tions as 10 methods Of increasing Pan
American trade, and we have no doubt,
either. that he will easily be able to show
that our adherence to the Monroe doc
trine has been fully justified by the up-
building on the southern hemisphere OF
independent, enduring, and progressive
commemorative.
