ed by the groans OF the dying, and
our eyes were tormented with the sight
OF the mangled bodies OF the dead;
when our alarmed imagination present

barbarous caprice OF the raging sol

to all the insolence OF unbridled pas

fair hands. When we beheld the au-
thors OF our distress parading In our
streets or drawn up In regular bat
Italia, as though In q hostile city. our
hearts beat TO arms: We snatched our
weapons, almost resolved by one de-
cisive stroke to avenge the death OF
our Slaughtered brethren and to secure
from future danger all that we held
most dear; but propitious heaven for
babe the bloody carnage and saved tho
threatened victims OF our too keen
resentment, not by their discipline. not
by their regular array-no, 1t was
royal Georges livery that proved their
shield--it was that which turned the
pointed engines OF destruction from
their breasts. The thoughts OF ven-
geance were soon buried in our inbred
affection to Great Britain. and calm
reason dictated a method Of removing
the troops more mild than an fmmedi'
ate resource to the sword. With united
efforts you urged the immediate de-
parture of the troops from the town;
you urged It. with a resolution which
insured success: you obtained your
wishes. and the removal OF the troops
was effected without one drop OF their
blood being shed by the Inhabitants.

Shall the Democratic Party
Die?

The Republicans seek only to defeat
the Democratic party, but Mr.. Hearst
Mr. Watson and Mr.. Debs are seek
ing to destroy 1t.
The ambition Of each OF them Is TO
build upon the ruins OF the Democ-
racy a new party. In consequence
these three former supporters ana
warm adherents Of Mr.. Bryan are
now his most implacable enemies.
/ They assail him more vigorously and
yindictively than does any Republican
leader. They attack the Democratic
! party far more fiercely and unscrupu'
I louesly than does Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Taft.
The World has no illusions about
the defects of the Democratic party
as now organized and Is not disposed
TO minimize them, but would the ma
ton gain or lose IL the Democratic
party were destroyed and Hearst
party or q Watson party or Deos
| party took its place? Would such a
marty carry on a more honest, intelli-
gent opposition TO Rspublicanism than
does the Democratic party? Would
! il be better qualified to conduct the
government of the United States In
case OF victory at the polls?
The Republican party In this cam
paign Is fighting only for office. The
Democratic party Is fighting for Its
life. II It dies. the Jeffersonian the
ory of government dies with II.

NAV think Of the present Democratic
organization. can he doubt for an In

AFTER NEARLY SO YEARS
RAILROAD ENGINEER RETIRES


Local railroad men will be in
terested to learn that G.. T.. Heck
man, the veteran engineer of the
Union Pacific system. has been
retired ON pension after one of
the longest and most notable
careers of any railroad man of
the country. He il 80 years of
age and will round out his clos
ing years in his nome in Boise,
Idaho.
Fondly known as Daddy" all
along the Union Pacific line from
Omaha to the coast, Engineer Heck
man has a record of heroic service
for thirty-three years with the Harri-
man system. He has been injured
several times but, fortunately, never
seriously hurt. He has received votes
of thanks on many occasions from
railroad officials for his bravery and
GOODNESS.
| In 1861 c. E. Hickman entered the
service of the Hannibal & st. Joe
road, when a mere boy. He was
brakeman for that road seven years,
and then went to the Iron Mountain
road, running out of St. Louis. He
later went south to run passenger
train on the Alabama & Chattanooga
road, and next entered the Union Pa
cific employ on June 13, 1875. He
, has been with the Union Pacific ever
1 since.
He has pulled the Boise train from
Boise to Nampa night and day for the
past ten years. He has run trains
over every mile of the Union Pacific
system between Omaha, Butte, Gar
rison. Salt Lake, Ogden and Hunting
ton, and one winter was on the o. II.
1T lsnsafF ut
900 miles per month, which is very
conservative. MIR. Hickman has tray
eled 100000 miles in the 33 years
months and 2S days he has been
with the Union Pacific.
His greatest act of heroism was
performed on May -. 1897. when
he brayed death at American Falls in
the most disastrous wreck in the his
tory of the Oregon Short Line. He
did succeed then in saving score of
lives and partially succeeded in say
ing his train. His act was SO unusual
that he won the hearty thanks of
Vice President Bancroft and Super
intendent Calvin.
The veteran engineer was at the
throttle OF the westbound passenger
train that day ana pulled his train
into American Falls, and at almost
runaway freight laundering down
upon his train. In an instant he
threw the engine over and had his
train moving backward at fair rate
of speed when the heavy freight
travelling sixty miles an hour, crashed
into it,
A second before the crash Mr.
Hickman left the train and jumped
The trains came together with an
awful crash, but. thanks TO the head
work of the engineer on the passen-
ger, not single person was killed
in the passenger train, but nine were
killed and as many injured who were
off the train and standing in or by
the depot.
MIR. Hickman lengthy and meri
torious record in "railroading" is noI
equaled by any man in the west ano
1t is doubtful If any m@n IN the entire
United States can boast of such {
faithful career. He ts now en1oyinf
good health, despite his ripe age, anC
expects 10 round out many more
years.
