New eradInu for Great Men.

(From the Savannah, Ga. News.)
The man who eats pie with a knife
may not have all of the polish of
etiquette that is demanded by ultra
polite society, but he is pretty apt to
be a rugged, natural unaffected, clear
thinking and cleanliving sort OF fell
low, who gives more attention to the
essentials of life than to its frills. His
mind is taken with the larger and i'm
portant things, and there is no place In
it for the petty details by which some
persons set so much store. While he
spears biscuit with his fork he may
be solving some difficult problem that
is quite beyond the mental capacity of
those who giggle behind napkins at
the performance. Make no mistake,
the man who eats pie with knife is a
power in this country, and his name
is legion.

What Has Been Done, Says Harrim an,

uation-oriental Business is Largely
Sentimental, Mr.. Hartman Declares
Eastern Trade Dream.

Chicago. Aug. 4.-"There's not going
to be any abandonment of railroads
nor is there to be any combination or
consolidation of railways over night.
What has been done has been done
to save bad situation, financially
speaking
This statement was made with ern-
phasis by Edward H. Hartman last
night, discussing the deal whereby a
syndicate of bankers in effect paid
SIS, 900 900 for s1.,oOO0OO worth Of
Wheeling & Lake Erie short term
notes. The Napoleon" of the railroad
world at first refused to say anything
regarding the transaction whereby
George ]. Gould is supposed to have
been eliminated largely from manage
ment OF his eastern railroad system.
What l have done has not been for
the purpose of making money-not at
sil-but simply because matters were
becoming tangled and it became neces
sary FOR someone to try to make a bid
situation better. You see some of us
do no, believe that 1t would be a good
thing for the country generally for any
more Of he railroads to go into the
hanis Of receivers. and so we are do
ing what We can to prevent this In the
interests If self preservation. That Is
all there is TO it."
Asked what effect his entry into, the
affairs of one of the Gould roads would
have, Mr.. Hartman replied:
"'The situation has become so COM
pick that I scarcely know where 1 am.
! do not know what the future holds
out with respect to the affairs, and [
wanted to get away from it all and go
out in the Siskiyou mountains, where |
could think it all over and see what 1t
all means. When l get back l may be
able to talk about the future intelli-
gently, but in the meantime ] want II
understood that there is no deep-laid
scheme back of it ALL"
Mr.. Hartman takes an optimistic
view of the future. ut looks to me-,
he said, "as tho we We're coming into
a little better times. The future of
the country depends upon the farmer,
that is, upon what is done with what
the farmer is producing. 1t seems to
me that never before was the farmer
in better condition to produce than hs
is now"
Mr.. Hartman was asked why the
transcontinental railroads had decided
to go out of the export business to the
orient and out of portion of the i'm
port traffic.
The oriental business is largely sem
timental." he replied. You know
what I mean The building up of a
large Asiatic trade thru the Pacific
coast. ports is largely a dream and a
fake"

High Grade Base Ball.

Base ball is chronic complaint OF
Senator Crane. When he was governor
of Massachusetts he took his entire
staff ont for drive and surprised
them by having the rigs pull up at an
open field and announcing that there
was to be base ball game. Two mines
were chosen and the game began.
Pretty soon somebody came along the
road.
"what teams are they?" he asked
of one of the drivers.
"why, that man pitching is the
governor of Massachusetts" the driver
replied. "The one catching is the lieu
tenant governor; the first baseman is
a congressman; the second baseman is
the judge advocate general"

other Wall street man, Bryan has no
show" and that convinces them all,
that settles it. For them down town"
is the country. All the information and
wisdom in the world center there. How
can they all be mistaken? Such an idea
never enters their heads.
These Wall street odds makers know
nothing whatever about the resl of the
country. The west to them is a sort OF
terra incognita which they indicate, il
they deign to consider it at all, with a
vague sweep of the hand in the direc-
ton of Hoboken. They know and care
nothing about some of the peculiar
things going on in the minds of the
people in that region. out west"
Don't Count Labor.
They take no account of the labor
vote. They know nothing whatever of
the possible political effect of the dull
times and scant employment, of the
church and religious discussion, which
in it's quiet way is sure to be factor
in the campaign.
They do not even know their own
city and state. They have no concep-
ton of what the people are thinking
over on the east and west sides of
among all the millions who work for
wages there is a tendency to hit the
party in power at Washington and
make an experiment with new broom
at Washington.
