SIGNS OF GOOD TIMES.

That the cheerful cry of better times is not merely born of that wish that is father to the thought or the belief in what OUGHT to follow a presidential campaign. a few items may be cited as picked up from cur. rent exchanges. For instance:
 The Wisconsin Central railway has placed an order for 2.sOO freight cars with the Haskell & Barker Car com. pany.
 The Pennsylvania railroad placed orders at the Juanita shops at Al toona, Pa. recently for fifteen freight locomotives. They will be larger and more powerful than any now in use on their lines.
 The assistant treasurer of the Ma. tional Biscuit company is quoted as saving: "our business shows . steady gain. The outlook Is decided ly better. This is evidenced by re. ports of agents all over the country"

NEWSPAPERS sUPPLANT THE
 SPELL9INpER.

The presidential campaign just closed has ended in a victory for newspapers regardless of their Pcliti' cal faith, says the American Press. The spellbinder's occupation" 1t Is said. '.Is gone as a gaIpful occups- ton" It Is not likely hIs profes. sion win be called upon in large num- bers to save the country in the fu' ure. Speakers there win doubtless be In campaigns to come. but they will speak for the public good from patriotic motlyes-or because they want office. It is not expected that candidates will ever be denied the pleasure of addressing their fellow citizens. but the paid spellbinder, like the paid mourner, will have to so.
 This opinion was expressed by Les lies Weekly in the heat Of the cam paigu a month before election. We heartily agree with our distinguished contemporary, the New York Tribune. that the popular taste has outgrown this method of campaigning" says Lesue's. referring to the spellOlnder. and that more people are to be reached by a pictorial presentation of the issues and personalities of the canvass through cartoons and news papers The national committee has In mind that a spellbinder may reach crowd of several hundred or several thousand persons, while newspaper or pictorial publication will reach hun dreds of thousands and keep talking through the campaign. If campaign committees would spend less money on speIbinders, Autographs and long wlnded documents and speeches that no one ever reads and more in the circulation of wide awake republican publications. especially the weekly papers in rural districts. they would realize the most satisfactory results"
 As & matter of fact. 1t is said that fewer speakers were employed in the last campaign than ever before. This would indicate that the newspapers were used to greater extent than they have been in the past. Certain u is that their importance as a fac tor In elections increases. One sign Of this is the displayed political ad.. almost unknown until recently. which was used so effectively by Douglas In his race for governor of Massachu' setts several years ago.
