We have little doubt that NJ

We have little doubt that Mr.
Bryan will be nominated as the
Democratic candidate for presi-
dent and We feel equally conf
deut that he stands no show
of being elected. 1t may be very
well, however, to let Mr. Bryan
have another chance this time.
If any other candidate were
named he would probably be de.
feated and many blind, fatuous

be convinced but Il at had tie silver

Train to be Taken Off?

There is some talk, we under
stand, of taking off the Lanes-Flor-
euce train, which was put on last
fall on condition that if, after
six months operation, the rail-
road authorities could show that
the train failed to pay expenses
of operation the railroad COM
mission would allow the service
to be discontinued.
1t is rumored that the railroad
people claim that this train has
failed to pay expenses and un-
der their agreement with the
commission it will be taken off.
Whether the rumor referred to
is authentic We are without de-
finite information, nor are we able
to say whether or not the train
has earned running expenses. But
we have heard from various
sources that this is one of the
best patronized trains on the North
eastern railroad. If this be true,
it is hard TO understand why it
does not pay.
During the time it has been
operated this train has been a
great convenience to the local
travelling public and it would be
hardship to have it disconhn-
ued just as the people along the
line have begun to appreciate it most.
1t is a matter for the rail
road commissioners to pass upon
and it behooves them to look
well and carefully into matter
that affects so many people.
If the railroad officials can
demonstrate that the train actu-
any fails to pay expenses, in all
fairness, they can scarcely be blam
ed for taking it off. But is that
a fact? There's the rub, and it
is up to The commission to de-
eide.
