TRAP FOR HUGHES.

G INCE the reiterated declaration Of President
- Roosevelt that he will not accept another
nomination as President, the Interests in
New York city that have been fighting
him so hard have been casting around TO see who
is the most likely candidate-the one that has the
best opportunity to win. They don't want Taft
They will do all in their power to defeat him.
Their eye at present is resting upon Governor
Hughes. Roosevelt for various reasons has not
warmed up to the Governor and this viewed by
the Interests is a point in commentator OF
him. They appear to be lining up for Hughes,
and are holding out to the Governor a tempting
bait, suggesting the conditions upon which they
will accept him and make him the candidate fog
President 1t is curious to note how this situa-
ton is developing. How to clip the wings of
Hughes and bring him into our camp is the
problem that the interests" have to solve, and
they are beginning to work il QUITO their own
satisfaction, at least.
For several months past a commission under
the direction of the governor has been exposing
the villanies of the traction looting OF the
metropolis. The exposures make the insurance
revelations pale into insgnhcance. The probe
of the inquistorial commission, of which VIII
liam NJ lvns is the head, has sunk into the in
iquites of the traction management SO that there
is cry for halt. Now the able newspaper de
fenders of the Interests" are stirring up trouble
in the commission. They are printing stories
from Albany that the Governor is dissatisfied
with the work ofhs commission, that the muck
ralSng" has gone too far and that the Governor
hints that it may be called off No doubt il it
were stopped the Governor would be handed the
suppnrtuf tlp Interests"
When it is remembered that Governor Hughes
came into the public eye prominently because Of
inqdiring he did himself into the insurance mat
ters it can be imagined how he is now being mis-
represented. His courage and fearessness in the
insurance investigation gave him his political
standing, made him available as a candidate, and
now the interests are arguing that should he
back water" in the present stream of traction
inquiry he would thereby strengthen himself
with the people and be New Yorks choice for the
presidential nomination
1t is unlikely that the Governor will be tempt
ed by the bait. Personally he has shown no in
clination that he desires the presidential nomina-
tion and if he retains the good sense he has
manifested in his political career he will avoid
the trap set for him by the interests

STORY TOLD BY THE RAILROADS.

A CCORDING to the Bureau of Statistics OF
y the Department of Commerce and Labor
heavy movements occurred in October in the
coal and grain trades. For the first time in the
history of the coal trade the anthracite shipment
passed the 100000 ton mark for the month
Lake traffic as measured by the volume of ship
ments from the various Lake ports, 1I,S2o,ooo
tons, was larger than for any month during the
season, except August, and exceeded by 2S per
cent the October, 1900, total
The number OF cars handled during the month
by sS reporting car associations, 3,5o5'7oo was
over 2 per cent more than the number handled in
October, 1906, although even this larger supply
did not prevent accumulation and delay OF trat-
fc at important trade centres -
Live stock receipts at Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, St Joseph, Sioux City, ST. Louis and St.
Paul were s4,42a,ooI head during the ten months
ended October as compared with 33ooSoII head
during 1900 ten months and 33,2oS,1o4 head dur
ing 1905 ten months
Packing house products shipments from CHI
cago in October, 1907, were 24o,42o,43S pounds,
against 23o,7oo,oI2 pounds in October, 1906
Grain receipts during October, 1907 at fifteen
interior primary markets were 1o2,4S2o93 bush
els, as compared with o6o3+54o bushels in Oc-
tober, 1906.
The grain movement from Chicago for this
season since January last was Io8,899ooo'bushels,
against o5,s47.ooo bushels in the same period OF
1906.
Live stock receipts at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore for the ten months
Of this year aggregate 7,o2o,5I2 head compared
with 6,734SII head received at the four cities
during the, same months of 1900.
Grain receipts at the same four cities the ten
months of-1oo7 were 2ro,5ao,o7S bushels, against
ho4o44,oz7 bushels in 1906 ten months.
Citrus fruit shipments from Southern Califor-
MIA for the crop year ended October 81 totaled
az4os cars, composed of 1890 cars OF oranges
and s,so7. cars OF lemons, as against a5o56 cars
in the 1oos-6 season, composed of 22,I72 cars OF
oranges and 1874 cars of lemons
Coke production at Connellsville for fortyrthree
weeks of this. year was I77629oS net tons, an in
crease of almost o per cent. over the correspond
ing weeks Of last year
Production of anthracite and coke pig iron for
October was larger than during any month Of
the year and per cent. more than in October
1000. The increase is most marked in the case
Of the works located in the Central West.
Anthracite coal shipments for the first ten
months Of the year, s5,66I,467 gross tons, are
over 100000 tons larger than for 1906 ter
months
The foregoing figures need no comment. They
tell Of abounding business activity throughout
the country. They tell OF living, throbbing in
dustrial nation, but they do not reveal why, il
the midst OF such activity, there should be sud
den depression. The setback appears to have
been due to artificial causes.

for Monster.
In order to be ready for anything
which congress may ask, the navy
department is preparing plans for a
30,000-ton battleship having 40,000'
horsepower engines. It's draft would
be about 80 feet, and it would be the
biggest and finest battleship ever
planned by any navy. 1t is said that
this theoretical man-of-war would
have eight turrets and 16 12-ines0
guns. That plans are being made,
for such a leviathan indicates the be

of battleships. Another Lattleship
