Co,nwell on Robbery.

Attempts or the Democratic speak
err on the stump in tils state to pre-
sent arguments on the tax reform
laws that may appear to their adj
vantage. are ludisrous in the extreme.

Fairmont the other night and the
same evening the Republican news

cratic evasion Mr.. Eornwell answered

l.Enur1toEeutto Work uptA lack OF mar
mony In the Republican party, be:
cause Of differences among certain
members Of the party ana preferences
rat the spring primary election, and
the so-called special had to do
with this, the apparent assassin.s
hand being bloody with the desire
to- use the dagger both ways one to
keep friends OF the county ticket
from voting for Mr.. Hubbard and
the other to induce M. Hubbard
to order his warmest support
Sers not to support the ticket
of the county selected At the same
time they helped to nominate other
members OF the ticket. The Tele.
gram repeats the design Of the tram
ers Of the fake special, Is not only
amusing but also ridiculous, as It is
based on a desire that will not be
REALIZED.
Ifany Republican nominee has any
Edesign upon the Republican county
ticket in Harrison county, he has not
made 1t known. II the county ticket
has any design upon Congressman
Hubbard, 1t Is yet to be made known,
and the Telegram can assure the pub
lie that there will be no such design
on the part Of the county ticket. In
deed, hundreds Of Republicans who
helped nominate the county ticket al
so aided in the nomination Of Mr..
Hubbard and the latter and the
county ticket are their nominees.
Besides, all the county nominees are
advancing the campaign OF Mr.. Hub
bard with their own.
The personal matters and dis
agreements referred to have not been
injected into this campaign. except
as the Democrats have vainly at
tempted to inject them, and all Re-
publican leaders are busy for not
only the county ticket but the entire
ticket and are Loyalty supporting the
same.
The real situation in the county is
that all Republicans are in the har-
ness for complete Republican success,
no matter what have been their
grievances, and the outlook is that
their work will be surprise. when
the votes are counted, that will para
lyze the Democrats.
Democrats need not assume that
Republicans will be fooled or led
astray by any such brain-storming as
Is evinced in that fake special" sent
out from the fake factory here, and
the Democratic schemers and trick
sters may as well resign themselves
to the fact that the Republicans of
Harrison county are going to vote for
all the Republican nominees, and, IL
the fake Special" conveys the nature
Of the Democratic hope, our Demo
cratic friends may as well give up
the ghost. now as at the end OF cleo
ton day.
Mr.. Hubbard is the regular Repub-
lican nominee for Congress and the
Telegram never in Its long and proud
history of forty-seven years failed to
support the regular nominees of the
party and will not fail to do so now.
The Telegram Is Republican news
paper, its owners are Republicans,
too. and they too are supporting and
will continue to support the Republic
can ticket from top to bottom. II
the Democrats can get any consola-
tion from this, they are welcome to It.

THREE OF THE CANINE PATRoLMEN AND THEIR TRAINER.

NEW YORK, January 21.-The police
dogs which Lieut.. George r. Wakefield
has been training at Riverside Drive and
176th street and at Fort Washington Park
are to patrol one of the lonely outlying
sections Of Brooklyn within few days
with the night policemen.
The training of the dogs has been very
careful. The police at Fort Washington
Park tell an interesting story about
hobo who had been chased out of River
side Park and was cutting across the
field where the Belgian hounds were be-
ing exercised by Lieut. Wakefield.
Their First Arrest.
The teacher had been assisted by a
young man dressed in padded suit and
mask who, after being attacked and
thrown down by the dogs, had allowed
them to hold him until Wakefield came
up in uniform. The prisoner had just
been taken to the station house" when
the hobo slouched across the field. He
was the first real American tramp that
the dogs had seen, but they recognized
him. 4 sharp bark warned him to stop.
Instead he seized a stick and took TO MS
heels. In a moment the dogs were at his
side One fellow few at his throat The
other ran between his legs to trip him
up. Down went the tramp after hitting
the dog with his stick. The teeth Of the
leading hound closed on his coat collar
and hung on till the fellow stopped strug-
Cling. when he was allowed TO rise; Inc
dog then seized him by his coat tails and
started to lead him to the station. The
arrival Of Lieut.. Wakefield saved the
boho from an embarrassing position ana
he was allowed to 60

the dogs Is not to attack any one wearing
a police uniform, and for this reason re-
lays of strange policemen have been or
dered up to the training grounds in order
that 1t may be impressed upon the dogs
that 1t is the uniform and not the man
they should have respect for. Now, after
careful training, they rush to the assist
ance Of any one in police uniform as
quickly as they do to Lieut.. Wakefield

been kept and trained, two policemen.
one in civilian clothes, sometimes wreStle
in the field or on the lawn. Finally one
blows a police whistle, whereupon the
dogs leap toward the combatants, spring
at the throat OF the man who does not
wear uniform and bear him to the
ground.
Most of the work was done by two male
hounds. Nogi and Max, the third. fe-

Climb Up Walls.
Most of the tests performed consist Of
defending the policeman against an ad-
versary, chasing and throwing down a fu-
gitive. and after throwing him down.
barking a warning to the police. Some
times the fugitive attempted to make
his escape by climbing up the almost per-
perdicular side of masonry walls squeez-
ing into holes between buildings and
climbing fences. 1t was remarkable how
easily the dogs followed up the stonework
sides of the railroad wall at Fort Wash
ington.
The dogs have been especially trained
to fight men who strike at them with
sticks and knives, the hardy little brutes
apparently caring no more for these
weapons than for the teeth of stray ca
mines that sometimes tried to interrupt
their lessons.

CIVILIAN FORCE.
Gen. Edwards Reports the Number
and Their Salaries.

In his annual report to the Secretary
of War. Gen. Edwards, chief OF the bu-
reau of insular affairs. says that the
classification of the civilian force re-
mains the same as last year, with a
total of seyenty-four employees, the total
salaries aggregating $s7, 400. or this force
three clerks have been detailed without
extra pay to assist the United States pro-
visional government in Cuba. During
the wear the bureau has lost thirteen
employees by transfer or resignation.
In this years estimate the bureau has
recommended the discontinuance Of the
fourteen clerks Of the $500 grade, ask
ing In lieu thereof an increase Of two
additional clerks at 81 400. five at 81 200
and four at $1,000. This will decrease
the total number OF employees from sew
enty-four to seventy-one. and increase
the total appropriation by 500. Gen.
Edwards says the discOntinuance of the
$500 grade is desired because experience
has shown great difficulty in getting and
keeping good men at that salary In
many cases appointees at this salary,
finding promotion slow. leave the service
Tor better salaries elsewhere
BY obtaining a more permanent force.
through the discontinuance of the above
grade and by the increases indicated in
classes >, and $1,000, 1t is hoped that
the reduction will be met by the create
efficiency of more cOntented employees.
Gen. Edwards urges the necessary legfs-
lation in accordance with the approved
estimate. -t

MESSAGE FROM BRAZIL.
Thanks Secretary Root for His
Friendly Greeting.

Mr.. Nabuco. the Brazilian ambassador
at this capital. has given Secretary Root
copy Of the congratulatory cable mes
sage received by him from Mr. Rio Bran
CO. Brazilian minister of foreign affairs,
In regard to the visit of the Atlantic fleet
The message Is dated Rio, January 20,
and is as follows:
"The American ambassador communicat-
ed to me yesterday Secretary Roots tele-
gram. / beg your excellency to manifest
to Mr.. Root my thanks for the friendly
words that Ambassador Dudley transmit
ted to me. The popular demonstrations of
sympathy which the American sailors are
now receiving. so cordial and spontaneous
as those which Secretary Root received
in 1905. show the constancy and the un-
changeableness Of the old Brazilian friend
ship toward the United States of America.
and also that we remember with CRATE full
ness all the kindnesses of President
Roosevelt himself and of the American
navy toward our navy months ago in
Norfolk and Washington. l wish you to
recommend me most particularly to Mr..
Root and his family. RIO BRANCO."

Other Costly Experiments.

This was also illustrated In a striking
manner by the attempts Of the county
council and several of the parishes Of
London to furnish their own teams. I'm
til two or three years ago all of the haul
ing required by the municipal government
was done by contract, but the socialists
believing that 1t could be done better and
cheaper by the municipal authorities,
bought several thousand first-class horses
and several thousand new carts, erected
stables in various parts of London. on
modern hygienic plans. and began work.
After two years experience 1t has been
discovered that the cost of doing the
work has been more than double the for
mer contract prices. The auditors have
worked out that 1t has cost $3.50 year
to maintain each horse, and that the
wages Of the teamsters alone amounted
to almost the entire amount of the con-
tract in previous years.
One of the humorous incidents in the
experiment was the payment of $4,000 to
private owners for horses hired to meet
emergencies when the animals owned by
the municipality were pronounced too fat
to work.
Another disastrous experiment was in
the erection of model tenements to carry
out what Is known as the Latchmere
housing scheme. The common council of
Battersea purchased a tract of land for
S125,O erected upon 1t a block of tene-
ment houses after novel designs at a cost
of nearly $500, 600. and let the apartments
to tenants at prices corresponding to the
charges by private owners In the same
neighborhood. The consequence Is that
the receipts from rentals are not sufficient
to pay more than 2 per cent upon the in
vestment, while private tenements in the
same neighborhOOd pay and per cent.
Another serious failure, which has pro-
voked almost universal criticism, has been
the management of a real estate enter
prise undertaken by the London county
council. Some years ago street was cut
through from the Strand to High Hol-
born. the two greatest thoroughfares run
ming out from the business section of
London The property was purchased
under condemnation proceedings, the
street was cut through and the aadjoin-
ing lots were offered for sale at prices
which were expected to cover the entire
cost of the improvements. These expec-
tations have not been realized. The new
street, "the Kings Way" as they call It.
Is a great convenience to the public, but
there has been very little demand for the
building sites thus opened, and the tax
payers Of London are compelled to pay
interest upon the investment price with
out any return.
Defeat Of Progressives.
These failures of socialistic expert
ments no doubt caused the sdefeat of the
progressive party at the recent election,
but 1t is to the credit and the honor of
the British nation that no charges OF
corruption were made in the campaign.
