THE KEY WEST RAILROAD.

The quite remarkable railroad from
the mainland of Florida to Key West,
the extremity of the Peninsula, has
been so far completed that a train
now runs from Miami. Fla, to knights
Key. 1t will be remembered that for
more than one-half of the 156 miles
of length of this road, it is built
over the open sea with great stretches
of embankment and bridging. For the
present, the road will connect with
steamers at Knights Key. When COM
pleted, the road will shorten the time
of passage from Cuba to Miami by 10
hours, and from Cuba to Tampa by IL
hours. The building of the road is a
novel and very high achievement in en-
gineering.

The United States to Have Vessels Which
VIII Cope With the Best Built Abroad.

In the Delaware and North Dakota it
is expected that the United States will
have two battleships equal, if not much
superior, to anything that is being built
across the ocean. They will have 10000
tons displacement and carry 10 12-inch
guns for the main armament. The best
ship that France is building is the Dan
ton, an 1S,400-ton vessel, carrying four
12-inch and IL 9.4-inch guns. Germany
has the Ersatz-S chsen. which will
carry 16 11-inch guns. Japan is build
ing the Satsuma, an 1S,S00-ton ship,
carrying four 12-inch and IL 10-inch
guns. The Delaware and North Dakota
will have 1000 tons greater displace-
ment than the next heaviest of our bat
tleships. They will be SIS feet and nine

The Motto On the Coins.

P. H. Endicott, NJ. D., 4th NJ s. n.
Cav, Oakdale, Cal, makes a strong and
convincing argument that the retention
of the motto I'm God We Trust upon
the coins gives them no additional value.
They will buy no more by it, and those
where it had been omitted will buy no
less. The purchasing quality of any
coin depends upon the amount of gold
or silver in it. We have no National
religion and desire none.
Pensions for Texas Volunteers.
The committees in both Houses have
favorably reported bill pensioning the
surviving officers and enlisted men of
the Texas volunteers employed in the
defense of the frontier against the Mex

tions from 1855 to 1860, inclusive. The
widows who have not remarked are in
cluded in the benefits of the act, which
applies to only few hundred.

wishes that some Confederate soldier
would write up his "reminiscences of the

fort of considerable dimensions, deep

it was taken many Confederates were

There was an unsuccessful attempt to

that Gen. Hill was, killed in this effort.

Fairmont can Justly take pride in
the capabllity of its justices of the
peace. We do not believe the State
can produce two more competent
men than the two justices who take
the legal differences of our people I'M
der advisement. Yesterday Squire
Amos announced as a candidate for
denomination. To-day Squire T. w.
Boydston places his name before the
people for consideration. He has been
serving under appointment to fill the
unexpIred term OF the late Squire Ben
nington. He has been in Office some
thing over year and during that time
he has had a great deal of business
before him. He has the reputation OF
being fair and just, giving every
body a square deal. During the short
time he has been in otice he has tried
over six hundred cases and the peo-
pie feel that he has handled them IN
highly satisfactory manner. Mr..
Boydston was well known before he
became justice of the peace and his
record in the office has wldened his
acquaintance and made him more pop
ular. He will undoubtedly get many
votes in the primary.

vention tomorrow. The convention
will nominate presidential electors
and candidates for the supreme bench
and elect delegates at large to the ma
tional convention. The State commit
tee will meet again tomorrow to form
ulate plans for a second State conven
ton to nominate candidate for gov
ernor. At It's former meeting the com
mittee passed resolutions heartily ap-
proving the Roosevelt administration
and endorsing the candidacy of VIII
liam H. Taft. Considerable opposition
to the programme Of the Taft boomers
has developed, but 1t Is not considered
sufficiently strong to prevent the en-
dorsement Of the secretary Of war.

So far as we have been able to learn,
the Republicans OF the city will stand
pat on the proposition to cut out IL
censc for the coming year. The peo-
pie have spoken and their mandates
must be obeyed. II any Republican
member of council votes for license
it will be solely on his own personal
responsibility and he need not expect
any defense from thisN paper. 1t is
the general belief of those who have
investigated the matter that eight of
the ten members of city council will
vote against license and the vote may
be unanimous.
