The New SINGER BUILDING.

The wonderful SINCE r Building
that you have read so much about
is very nearly finished nd is quite
brilliantly lighted every evening.
From the ferry boat crossing the
river it looks like a lofty tower.
but does not appear as tall as it
really is because it is considerably
dwarfed by the building erected
for the terminals of the downtown
Hudson River tunnels which runs
up to thirty two stories and will
be the largest in the country.
Nevertheless, the Singer Building
has forty six stories, and counting
the lantern, is 612 feet high. the
tallest structure ever built by
human hands. except the Eiffel
tower fifty seven feet higher than
the Washington monument, 127
feet higher than the Great
Pyramid Of Egypt's and PIP
feet higher than the dome of St.
Peters in Rome.
1t is Interesting to compare it
with otter tall structures:

Judge Jones,s Decision.

The Birmingham Ledger.
 Much as we regret the matter, there seems to be no doubt that Judge Jones is right in deciding that goods ship ped from other States Is not delivered until 1t is delivered. It will be remem- bered that Judge Feagin intimated when he tried the case and fined the delivery man. that he had doubts
 It is pretty safe to accept Judge Jones's decision as being the law, Therefore. it is probable no appeal Will
 The State and city can reach the evil by preventing the storing of li- quors and can be vigorous In pre- venting and punishing the illegal sale and disposition of liquors. This de- cision throws the duty on the police and sheriff.
 There will always be some liquor sold. but the sale by any one man cannot continue long, for the tiger cannot do business unless people know where he Is. The police can learn as easily as the drinkers. There ought to be a regular stream of these criminals passing before Judge Feagin.
 Judge Jones's decision Is that the railroads are simply part of the de. livery of the goods. They can be car ried to the railroad and carried from the railroad to the consignee as parts of the delivery; That sounds like conn mon sense. Regretted but epPEovsd.

NOT cnEprrABLn TO HIM.

Those who have known or learned most about Mir. Taft. personally or by reputation. have been disposed to cred it him with the possession of broad statesmanship and enlarged views, who would be above the low arts of the demagosue, but 1t seems they were mistaken. The Pittsburg Post thus re- fers to one of his recent uttersnces:
 When Mir. Taft told his auditors at Csallipolis that Democratic success meant that "business shall remain at the halt at which 1t has been during the last three or four months. ana ne asserted that he spoke 'advisediy, ne descended to a level for which there IS no proper term except that of dema- goglc. Not only was such declara- tion arrant demagogy, but his cur precision from almost one year to three months exemplifies the typical misrep- resentatfon that this artihcial candi- date exhibits ip M his ,n to ro nto details" Doubtless he has never ac- quired the details. for he has been travelling. One detail Is that his party caused the panic This threat of con- tinued depression Is the veriest rot and recalls tn criminal pretense employed QuTInK tH6 tfdEHeiu CdnNdos. lutS ID the coercion of the voter exercised by the protection-fed capitalist.
 It Is a favorite method of the Re- publican spielers to warn the business and commercial interests of the coun- try that Democratic success in Novem Der means depression. panic. business failures, industrial idleness and suffer. ing and all the other evils that the political demagogue can bring to bear to prevent his party losing the offices. for that is their principal dread. TheiT Ioudmouthed sympathy for the conn mon people. is all & hollow pretense and a miserable sham at best.
 If the dozen years of Republican domination had been a season of con- tinued prosperity in this country, and of peace and friendly relations with other powers: if, in short, the era since March 4th, 1897. had been without trouble and discouragements of any kind. then the Republicans might con gratulate themselves and their party and warn the country against the dam ger of a change of rule. We all know that such has not been the case by a great deal, and that it is ranting hy- pocrisy for men of even MT. Taft's po- sition to try to make it appear that all human good goes with Republican domination, and that evil of all kinds will come to the people and to the country if MT. Bryap, lis elected. MT. Taft does himself no credit by such talk.
