INSPECTED TUNNELING MACHINE
j. Fewson Smith Tells About the
Efficacy of Harms Invention

EllCdCy Vi hdTuS luftitlUu
Salt Lake Herald: J. Fewson Smith,
Jr.. has recently returned from a trip to
Colorado, where he went to witness the
practical operation of the Harms tunnel
ing machine. He said:
1.-The object Of my trip was to inspect
the mechanical structure and witness
the operation of the constructed machine
at the India mine near Boulder. Colo.
"Iu structure, the machine is so
simple as to be absolutely incapable of
arrangement through operation. there
being but two wearing parts. the driv-
ing face and the bearings, and these
easy of access aud quick Of replacement
I'm operation it is surprisingly ef-
fective. In spite of many defects in
preparation and manipulation. it hewed
its own passage through solid rock at
the rate of five feet per hour during the
time it was being run for u benefit.
1.-THE moyles or cutters used on this
occasion had already cut out some 40
feet of tunnel and looked good for con-
siderable service yet.
"The rock in which the machine is
working is an impure granite, possibly
nc harder than some of our limestone
or quartzite. but of such hardness as
subjects the machine to a severe test.
1t stood up so well under the test that l
am firmly convinced that the machines
will easily perform the service expeote ed
of Them"

the RAILROAD QUESTION

An Eastern financial journal gener-
ously inquiries "Why this cutlery
against the railroads? Are they not
hauling freight and passengers at the
cheapest rates ever known? Are they
doing more than any other single
agency to build up the country ?" Why.
then, should a ''little coterie Of politi-
clans, appointed by the President" SUI
pervise and harass aud coerce the group
of philanthropic capitalists whose sole
desire is to be let alone to manipulate
and scheme the money Of the people
into their capacious Golfers?
The answer is q simple one. says the
San Francisco Recorder. Because. IL
allowed to continue as they have beer
doing for the last quarter Of q century.
they would soon be greater than the
people, as, in point of capitalization.
they are richer than the Government.
Because the people have seen their
Legislatures purchased. their city
councils bribed, their officials debauch-
ed and the law defied by the railroads
until patience has ceased to be. q virtue
and the time has come to say who
shall rule. the people or the railroads.
This is no new thing, this agitation
against the transportation companies.
Men have cried out against their every
aggression, but often their cry has fallen
upon deaf ears; or having been needed.
the reforms they sought to bring about
have been defeated by the agency of
those whose wrongdoing they sought
to curb.
This outcry has not been against the
railroads as such, for no n will gain.
say that the railroads have been one of
the greatest agencies of civilization and
development the world has ever known
but against the railroads pursuit of
special privileges and the unscruplous
means they employed to obtain them.
The outcry has not been in vain; the
"voices in the wilderness" have been
heard and there counsel is being fol-
lowed. Each year sees the enactment
of new legislation, in some cases radi-
cal. in others conservative. but all tend
ing to the one end, and that is, making
the railroads.&c. common carriers
what they should be, the servants, not
the masters of the people.
Whenever railroad reforms are
preached, the plea is always made that
the holders of the stocks and bonds are
of the people-widows and orphans,
and comfortable citizens; but how
much voice have they in the manage
ment of the roads? They have as little
influence in affairs as q man might
gain by shouting down q well. The
control is in the m~anipulators, who. as
in the case of the Southern and Union
Pacific, rugged the stock market so that
they could secure more stock, and then,
having acquired it, boosted the dividends
to their own great personal advantage.
1t is small wonder, then. that. with
the remembrance of this. and the coal
lands deal, and the railroads fight
against safety devices. and their de-
bauchery of officials and fiouting of the
law, that the agitation continues. not
for the purpose Of hampering their eff.
fclency, but with the object Of curbing
their rapacity and securing to the peo-
pie some share in the benefits accruing
from their existence.

THE SAME OLD STUNT.
Denison newspapers are back te

Denison newspapers are back to
the same old stunt of publishing on
the same day. This gives Denison
much poorer news service than
might otherwise be had. Sometime
ago the Review recognized this fact
and proposed to the Bulletin that the
publication days be changed. We
agreed to take the first end of the
week, providing that the Bulletin
would allow us the use Of its machine
for type-setting on Mondays and Tues
days. we to give the. use of our ma
chine for two days later in the week
in return. The Review set great
deal more type than the Bulletin and
for this reason we presume the Bulle-
tin after one week trial refused to
continue the arrangement. There
after the Review tried to print on
Tuesday using its own machine only.
On account of the rush of CORE
spondence this. was found to be i'm
possible and we were ABSOLUTELY forced
to change our time of publication to
Wednesday. In retaliation the
Bulletin has also changed back to the
old hour and the papers, are jus
where they were. The Review is nov
contemplating change to twice-a
week. In some ways this would b.
easier for us than the presen
system as our correspondence could b
v divided and we would have more tim
4 to devote toslocal matters. We d
not know as yet that we shall max
the change. If we do however W
will give the people two good eigf
page papers on Tuesdays and Fridays
Had the Bulletin been willing
abide by the first arrangement W
would have been glad to nave divide
the time.

PARTY FACTIONS.

1t is not alone in Iowa that the
dominant party is rent with factions
but this state of affairs is found in
other states both North and South.
In Tennessee there is a fierce fight on
between the late Senator Carmack
and the governor of the state. Pat
terson. 1t will be remembered that
Carmack who is a brilliant man was
defeated for reelection last winter.
and that the result about crushed him.
Tillman in one of his cutting ugly
speeches spoke of a recent speech in
the Senate made by Carmack as the
last said wall of dying swan. and he
replied in way to show the wound
was deep. He lays his defeat to the
enmity of Governor Patterson and as
means to humiliate him talks of
running for governor. OF course the
factions are intense in their devotion
to the democratic party and the
supremacy of the party is not
seriously endangered. Strong dlvi-
sions are also found in South Dakota.
Wisconsin. Ohio. Maryland and SO
Iowa is not alone in her troubles.
With Governor Cummins in the field

from bitter factionallsm for some
years. In the meantime the state is

BETTER GOVERNMENT FOR DIES
MONIES,

Nv a decided majority the capital
city of Iowa has decided to have a
new form of government. The cleo
ton was held on Thursday of last
week. The result is great triumph
for the men and the newspapers who
have labored for at least two years in
arousing public opinion to the point
when the old system could be thrown
aside. There were powerful interests
ranged on the side of the old system,
and it required hard work to influence
the voters that it would be for their
interest to call for a change. By the
new plan there will be no election of
Mayor. councilmen and minor city
officers next spring but instead the
people will elect five commissioners
who will have control of all municipal
affairs. One commissioner will per-
form the duties of the mayors ocffie
and receive So, 500 per year and. the
other four $4,000 per year. There
will be no ward boundaries. no draw
ing of political lines. commissioners
are elected for two years. there is a
provision that commissioner can be
removed If a certain number of voters
petition. and number of other safe
guards. The decision of the Des
Moines voters is distinct step in adj
vance. We hope that the new sys-
TEN will prove all its supporters
promise. If successful. other cities of
the nation will follow. Well done Des

THE DEATH OF EX-GOVERNOR
STEUNEBERG.

Az MANY of our readers know.
there is now going on trial at Boise
City. Idaho Of number of the high
officers of the Western Federated
Miners for conspiring to assassinate
Ex-Governor Steuneberg of Idaho.
The man who did the killing has con-
fessed the deed. and states that this
crime and many others were COM
mitted with the full knowledge of the
leaders of the association, in fact. he
was hired to do this crime by Hay
ward. that time president of the min
ers organization. The testimony shows
a bad state of affairs among the miners.
The literature they had given in
their organization journals bleathed
hate for Steuneberg and all men who
upheld the supremacy Of the law. 1t
then is not strange that men could get
to this state of mind when to kill an
alleged enemy of labor would seem
unsuitable. We of Iowa have little
understanding of the state of public
epinion which prevails in the mining
regions during a strike and Of the
bitterness felt against any who seem
ed to use the weight Of his influence

confessed murderer states that ne was
hired to do this killing. and up to
now the evidence shows he was. AS
showing the feelings of the Fedora
ton of miners at the present time it
might be noted that at a convention
held in Denver last week one of the

When these two people were hardly

seek his fortunes. He wandered to

Then he returned to the states and
worked all over the mining west until
at last he and couple of companions
struck the find that has made Wonder
