Congressman Mccall OF Massachu-

I'VE saw the canal under the very
best conditions. The weather was
delightful and we spent four days
actually investigating. We are satis-
fed that the work Is entirely feasible,
but IL is likely to cost great deal
more than Is generally supposed En-

Chinaman at work on the canal. and
we found the feeling was against

everywhere at the prospect OF Mr.
Stevens leaving The only possible
ground Of complaint we found was
that possibly the food was not all
that might be desired This is Of
course accounted for by the great
heat. There were only about 200

there, and not ono OF thom suffered

FOR RING

Has an era ended? The railroads
of the country are acting as IL they
thought il had. They are talking
about the wisdom OF taking the pub
lie into their confidence and co-opera
ting cordially with the authorities.
Their chiefs are going TO confer with
the president. They hope. apparent
ly, he will issue some statement or
indicate some policy that will reas-
sure the business world, call a halt
on the game OF corporation batting

score OF state Legislatures and check
the pernicious activity OF the inter
state commerce commission I'm inves-
ugating railroad transactions and OF
federal district attorneys in prosecut-
ing alleged violation of laws whose
letter the railroads believe 1t impos-
sible to obey.
The era whose obsolescence this
changed attitude argues has been an
era OF political subservience. govern
mental Indifference and widespread
popular ingorance. To the railroads
must be charged the origination and
elaboration Of the modern system OF
legislative corruption. They forged
the instrument. used it until they got
what they wanted and then loaned IL
TO the trolly and gas and electricity
combines OF the various states and
municipalities For about a genera
tion We have had a railroad regime
at perhaps a majority Of the state
capitals. and very strong railroad
influence i'm Congress. Secure i'm their
alliances with political bosses and in
their control OF the machinery OF
legislation, the railroads were under
no necessity OF conciiating public
opinion or really cooperating" with
the authorities.
They realize now, IL seems. that
they must establish new and better
guarantees for their security. The
people have been bJth aroused and
educated. Their curious gaze has
been turned upon that higher
sphere I'm which the masters OF A.
nance have moved. They have learn
ed something, inexact, distorted. II
may be. but suggestive and iIlumina-
ting about the speculative end OF
railroading. They have ascertained
that instead of governing they were
being governed by combination OF
selfish interests. In consequence
they are neither credulous investors
in, nor complaisant witnesses of,
many OF the corporations Of railroad
finance.-New York Mail

ITICS AND POKER.

The political factions are already

the .goyernorship. however, is only
the preliminary round OF the real po-
litical contest that is to follow.
This viii be the battle for the seat
in the Senate TO succeed Mr. Scott.
whose term will expire In 1911. Tt Is
generally accepted in West Virginia
politics that the senatorial aspirant
who succeeds I'm winnings the guber-
Material fight for his candidate has
the advantage in the tight to follow.
Mr.. Scott OF course, will be a candi-
date to succeed himself, but he will
have considerable opposition. Gov.
w NJ. o. Dawson is an avowed candi-
date for the senatorial honors, and
representative w. O. Hubbard, OF
Wheeling, is also being groomed for
the place. BY the time the election
rolls around next year it is more than
likely that each OF these men will
have candidate for governor
"At the present time there are
three men spoken of as candidates
for governor. The present auditor OF
the state, A. G. Scherr, Is the most
prominent and is looked upon as the
strongest one I'm the held He is not
allied with any OF the senatorial as
pirants at this time, so far as ! know,
but he IS strong with the people and
will make a hard fight Judge saun-
ders is also spoken OF, and Secretary
OF state Swisher's name has been
mentioned Before the nominating
convention, however, there will be
other men in the field, and It will be,
TO say the least, "A most interesting
struggle"
Mr.. Teter was a candidate for the
subernatorlal nomination at the time
the present governor was nominated,
and has been active in West Virginia
