cR1r1c1sEs THE RAILWAYS.

The Rev. Patrick Quinn of Dublin
Amazed at Their Reckless Speed.
"In some respects the railroads in
this country are behind ours" said the
Rev. Patrick Quinn of Dublin, ireland,
In the Baltimore American. Zone thing
1 have noticed that seems strange to
me Is the way the trains dash through
towns. never saw anything like 1t
before, and wonder people are not
killed every day. In Great Britain
there are iron fences on. each side of
the tracks through the cities and towns
and guards are constantly on the watch
to prevent people climbing over them
or crawling underneath.
I'm some places the authorities COM
pei the railroad companies to put tun-
nels under crossings, and thus elimi-
nate all danger. The trains here are
so dirty, too. Why, wash my hands
thirty or forty times day when I am
travelling. The noise from the ringing
of bells and the blowing Of the whistles
is almost enough TO set one crazy.
There is perfect bedlam when train
starts from station; a big bell clangs,
the engine starts putting and snorting,
and all this, In addition to which shrill
whistling is kept up for half an hour,
while the train tears its way through
the city. The appointments and the
meals served must say are pretty
good Our trains make better time
than yours. You have nothing to equal
the express from London to Glasgow
or the one between London and Liver
pool.
This rush and dash in which you
live all the time is enough to turn a
mans head. Chicago is worse than any
other city that j have visited in this
respect, and the people there are almost
criminals on the subject of speed. They
tear around as II their time was worth
hundreds of dollars minute. 1t re-
quires courage to try to cross one of
the downtown streets. Automobiles,
cars and wagons of all sorts tear up
and down with an absolute disregard of
human life. Several persons were
knocked down and killed during the
few days spent in the city, and /
breathed sigh of relief when got

Beyond doubt there would be fewer matrimonial dis

Mr.. Carnegie. Tarin views.


Mr.. Carnegie's contribution to the
tariff controversy places him as hold.
ing general views exactly opposite to
those entertained by the party to whose
success in the last election he donated
$4,000. Apparently Mr.. Carnegie be-
lieves in tariff for revenue with pro.
lection considered as justifiable fea.
ture In the case of only the new and
small industries struggling to establish
themselves. He seems to be not at all
certain that there are any of these. now
in existence, and he therefore declares
for much lower duties in all, for their
abolition In many cases. To this pro.
gram he adds the taxation for revenue
purposes, of the things that may be
classed as luxuries especially designed
for the consumption of the rich.
Mr.. Carnegie's views as to the tariff
and protection will attract only AGA.
demic discussion. 1t is not at all like.
ly that party committed absolutely
to the policy Of protection dominated by
the beneficlaries of protection and with
its views very recently Endorsed by an
overwhelming majority of the people,
will seriously consider his suggestions.
But when he talks Of steel, Mr.. Carne-
gle gives expert testimony. When he
says that the tariff is unnecessary on
steel products and that in this country,
despite the higher wages, we produce
steel more cheaply than anywhere else
on earth, we are bound to believe what
he says.
But 1t is not at all probable that his
views will be taken even as to steel
Before the discussion is ended the
standpatters will find in his suggestion

F..hion. IL nor.e., T..l..

Horses tails have been subjected to
curious changes Of fashion. In the
time of the Stuarts the English coach
horses tail was worn long and flowing,
and was cut square, like King Charles
charger at Charing Cross. English
Country Life says that it was adorned
with ribbons on gala days, and strap
ped up in leather case in winter
weather; thus a certain harmony was
preserved between the wig of the mas
ter and the tails of his horses.
By the time of George II. short
wig and pigtail had taken the pi6ce
Of the flowing curls in which the cava-
Tiers of Charles l. and the rakes of
Charles Ills court delighted.
The brilliant idea occurred to Lord
Cadogan, cavalry officer of that Pc
Rod, to reduce the tails OF his dragon
horses to short dock. Possibly this
was with the view of saving his SOL
diers the trouble of cleaning those long
tails, and avoiding the nuisance of the
splashes uniforms and accouterments
must have received from such hair
streamers.
Or 1t may be that the debased taste
OF the age made him think the appear:
ance of his regiment was really i'm
proved by bobbed tails. That is
question which history does not de-
eide. X
The next step was to turn bobtails
into plugtails, by cutting all the hair
for the last two or three inches Of the
dock. Having thus succeeded in dis
figuring the hind quarters of dragon
horses, some monster devised the addi-
tional barbarity of cropping their ears.

= Old-fashioned Dances.
The old-time minuet, the gavotte and
the graceful cotillon are to be the
dances of the winter, says the Boston
Post. 1t has been decreed that they
are to supersede the Merry Widow
waltzes, the barn dance and cake walks.
This is the edict of the dancing mas
tiers, and already the quaint, stately
old dances of our grandmothers are
coming into vogue in the bathrooms Of
the most prominent society women.
The old-fashioned minuet is infinite.
ly more graceful than the modern So
ciety dances" says Miss Isabel Flor
ence. teacher of all kinds of fancy dan
cling, who trains the Vincent Club girls
for their festivities. Its greatest
charm lies in the dignity and stately
grace used in the figures. There is not
one abrupt motion; not one sudden
| turn.
1T is quite natural that we should
return to the old minuet. There are
two reasons. The tendency has al.
ways been to change, change. constant
ly change, and it would be hard to find
a greater change from the slap-bang
dances that are the fashion now to the
ininuet OF. long ago.. !.
Then. too, the costumes that are
to be worn this season point back to
the costumes of the empire period.
They are not adapted ito the popular
dances and they are siIignlarly adapted
to the dances Of that same period:-s,
1.-THE minuet is not an easy dance.
The steps themselves are not difficult,
but there is more to the dance than
the step.
'srhe minuet Is test of a woman's
grace. An awkward woman cannot
dance 1t.
zone really delightful result Of the
reviving of the old dances is that the
old minuet music will be heard again.
1t is quite slow, but full of old-fash-
Toned trills and quite typical Of the
dance.
'srhe minuet has changed greatly
since it originated in the empire pc
riod. At first 1t was simple, stately
dance. which developed into really
intricate maze of stately turns in the
quadrille.r

tack by the trust on the smaller manu-
facturers and conspiracy to harass
them into surrender of their business
to the trust. When Mr. Carnegie says
that in this country steel is made more
cheaply than elsewhere 1t will be main
tained that he speaks only for the
United States Steel Corporation, which
produces about IS per cent Of the total
amount. The other IS per cent will
still need protection.
Such Is the grandeur and paternal-
ism Of the protective system that until
every manufacturer Of single class Of
merchandise is In the position of every
other manufacturer, the duty must be
maintained without reduction. So Mr..
Carnegie is privileged to speak only
for the one corporation in which he is
interested and toward the goal Of free
steel we have apparently Travelled only
b5 per cent of the way.
Practically the tariff tinkerer must
take this view. Otherwise it is crafty
ing information that as to one single
part of one single industry we have
progressed to the point where there is
an authoritative admission that steel
should go on the free list.-St. Louis
Republic.

Tho senate for Bryan.

I The term Of Senator Burkett (Rep.) /,
Of Nebraska, expires March 8, 1911.
We do not know whether the Demo-
cratic Legislature elected in Nebras-
ka is to choose his successor or not,
but IL that duty rests upon 1t, we hope
that 1t will elect to the United States
Senate Mr.. William Jennings Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan is easily the foremost Dem
,ocrat of Nebraska; in the United
States Senate he would be a useful
and interesting figure, and the en-
trance of any man of sterling honesty
into the Senate is gain for good gov
eminent.
Mr.. Bryan would not be the leader
OF the Democrats in the United States
Senate. As debater, more than one
man now in that body is his equal, and
half dozen would prove superior to
him as party tacticlan. Mr.. Bryan
would command attention and respect,
and Democrats Of cooler and clearer
heads would prevent him from running
away with his party.
Mr.. Bryan's influence in legislation
would be generally for good, and his
opportunities for public service would
be larger than they are through the
lecture platform and the columns Of
his weekly paper.
A long and brilliant career US states
man and legislator would be opened to
Mr.. Bryan by his election to the United
Suites Senate, and by it the Democrat
ic party would be saved from the peril
OF his continued domination.-Ch Charles
