The Chinese are certainly looking well
into the future, for their plans embrace
railroad clear across southern Tibet,
to unite on the south side Of the Hima-
layas with the British lines in India.
While the British have not yet discovered
any satisfactory doorway through which
tracks may be carried through the
mountains that wall in Ssechuan on the
east, the Chinese programme, as now
set forth, in 70 gridiron that rich province
with railroads. The feeders of the
western lines include roads running to
the frontier of Tonkin to unite with the
lines the French are constructing in
that colony. The north and south trunk
line Ia to be joined with the east coast
at Port Arthur, Kiao-chau and Shanghai
and all the leading towns will be centres
OF radiating lines. From Canton, for
example, one road will lead far to the
east TO Annoy, another to tho northwest
to Kwei-lin, the great city Of Kwang
81 province, q third to the Portuguese
port Of Macao, and fourth to the penin-
stla just north Of Hongkong.
1t Is not 30 presutnptuous In China as
it might be In some other countries to
attempt to outline once and for all the
main features Of future railroad devel-
opment. Chinese civilization is very
old, the economic importance and the
natural interrelations Of all parts Of the
empire are fairly well understood and
the lines along which railroads viii be
most useful are known. Now that the
Chinese admit at last that railroads are
O necessity to the empire they have
been able to devise u general plan Of de-
velopment that will probably be fol-
lowed In it's main features.
The wonder is that 30 complete revo-
luton In the Chinese attitude has been
brought about In 40 short time. Only
4 little while ago the empire was fanat-
ically opposed TO the introduction of
railroads. To-day the railroad mile

Government has made public q larger

been projected by any other nation ex-

her ability to accomplish, but she has
proved that she is In dead earnest in
her demand for modern railroads "a fast

Platform Making.

II seems q waste Of good money for
the Hon. WADE ELLIS, Attorney-Ge General
Of Ohio, to pay his railroad fare TO Wash
ington and consult gravely with Mr.,
ROOSEVELT and others--if there are any
others--as to Mr.. TArT's platform. Mr..
ELLIS 10 supposed to be the author Of the
vague, slippery and essentially futile
tariff revision plank in the Ohio Repub-
lioan platform Of last year; plank much
admired by those who admire It, a. Mr.,
LINCOLN would say, and which, It is
intimated, Mr.. TAFT will be allowed to
borrow. But really ELLIS is superfuous.
Why, even JIMMY REYNOLDS, JIMMY
GARFIELD and HERBERT KNOX SMITH
are capable Of writing tho Republican
national platform Of 1905 and would be
glad to do it If the Chief were not ON the
job. Now the trouble with the Chief is
that he has damnable iteration and never
knows when to leave Off. Yet q perfectly
satisfactory declaration Of Republican
principles could be made in mighty few
words. For example:
I'VE commend In the highest terms and without
reserve whatever the great soldier. statesman.

WELT has done or said or intended to do or say.

Handsome IIol1e and ugly latte Joe.

Handsome Hcke and Ugly Little Joe.
The sovereign and excellent State of
Georgia has many talents and virtues,
and we sometimes wish that it was less
subject to fits. Two years ago or 30 It
was furious. After months Of agony the
Hon. HoKE SMITH was made the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor and duly
elected. Everybody hoped that Georgia
would devote itself to peaches, water
melons, poetry and business. No, here
La HoKB SMITH. massive, mighty, def
ant, as the Hon, PLEASANT A. STovALL
calls him, who has had to rise to his full
height Of nineteen hands, rebuke Little
jon Brown, friend of the railroads,
ands rush about Georgia like hen on a
hot griddle
We are bound to say, however, that
NO such heat has been given of as was
the average temperature when CLARK
HOWELL allowed himself to oppose the
massive, mighty and defiant HoCUs.
Little JOE is or IL not a bad business man;
Little JOE has or has not let property for
saloon purposes; these are mild charges.
HoKE denies that he ever impugned
Little JoE's personal beauty, but the
Brownists have been quick to take up
tho supposed challenge. They admit
HoKE's grandeur and pN)ohritude.
Handsome HoxR, the Harbinger OF
Hunger" is one Of their little phrases.
HoKE has perseouted the railroads in
perfect good faith, believing 1t was popu-
lar. He is surprised that railroad men,
men out Of work and 80 on, don't dote
on him. These are perhaps moro nu-
merous than the 4whiskey men" and
"tramps, who are said to be ON the side
Of Ugly Little JOE. Handsome HoKE
talks all the time and has given up his
executive duties altogether, apparently.
Ugly Little JOE will not, and it is said
cannot, make a speech, although he is
mighty with the pen. So the fight be-
tween him and HoKE is a fight between
Silence and Sound.
Every Hoke meeting Ia "a vast audi
ence,' which, being interpreted, means
from 1SO to 500 persons. Every friend Of
HoKR is "a prominent citizen" The
game between the poets ia drawn. For
time this dlstioh was regarded as fatal
