QUEER RAILWAY CAR FITTINGS.
Window With Royal Autographs-
 Train Roofed With Water.

What use Is balloon to railway carriage. Few of the latter are so fitted, but there is at least one run ming on mountain railway near salzburg which has balloon attach- de to 1t in order to assist 1t up the steepest portions of the line. At the summit tank below the car is filled with water sufficient to counteract the upward pull of the gas bag. which the vehicle thus drags down with 1t upon the return journey.
 There IS only one car in the world with a window fitted as a royal au- tograph album. It Is somewhat an- cient railway saloon used in Dem mark for the conveyance of royal visitors. It has become the custom for these to scratch their names on one of its panes, which now shows the autographs of King Edward and Queen Alexandra among others in- cluding those of the late czar, the late king of Denmark, the late duke of Clarence and many others.
 Another uniquely fitted railway carriage is that containing the vesti- bule entrance to the train belonging to the German emperor This vesti- bule holds several fine statutes--an innoyation which has not been copied elsewhere, though many royal trains carry superb paintings as part of their decorations.
 car with complete veranda Is another novelty introduced in the train constructed for President Diaz of Mexico, where the drawing room portion Is surrounded by such a fit. ting.
 Very few trains are roofed with water. and that of the yiceroy of In. dia is among the small number that are so. All the vehicles, eight in number have double ceilings, which are really water tanks. holding about five tons of water. This arr rangement contributes toward cool ness and furnishes water for domestic purposes on the train. The train carries sixty personal servants when the viceroy uses 1t.
 On the long distant lines in Rus- sia each of the important trains has car above which rises a little bel fry containing Q chime of bells. Oth- erwise the latter vehicles are fitted as chapels, in charge of a regular priest of the Greek Orthodox faith. At Hallatrow, on the North Somerset railway, there Is an old railway car riage which has been licensed as a mission chapel and is fitted accord- 1 ingly.--Tit-Bits

IzILAUEA.
You'd Better See It This Summer If
 You Can.

Professor Hitchcock writes from Dartmouth college that those who wish to see the lava lake of Kilauea in all Its splendor had better lose no time In starting for Hawaii. He pre- diets that 1t will be many years before an equally good opportunity will pre- sent Itself again, and adds that the present brilliant display may prob- ably be seen for several weeks or months.
 L. A. Thurston, from whom we have often heard on other phases of Hawaii, writes that the spectacle Is of unusual brllliancy and that the glare from the lava lake can be seen on any clear night at lilo, thirty five miles away. He describes in de- tall the spectacle now presented. and in brief this Is what may be seen:
 You walk over the rough floor of the crater to the central pi: and, safe- ly enough, look over the edge at tho remarkable sight 200 feet below You are looking down on the SUI face of n lake of molten lava about 800 feet | long and 400 feet wide, in which a | little island in the shape of half moon Is embodied. In the little bay formed by the concave side of the island there Is fountain of fire. for about once minute explosions of gas throw masses of the liquid lava some thirty or forty feet into the air and they fall in red drops scattering over an area about 100 feet in diameter. Ebullitlon Is incessant In all other parts of the lake. Large cakes of lava are sucked down into vortices, In other Is pouring into the pit without bubbles or explosions. as though we'll ing up from an enormous spring; and fire waves lap the edges of the island and throw big pieces of lava crust up bits back into the swirling currents T Kilauea does not give her star per- formances very long at time or at frequent intervals. There has been no exhibition comparable with the present display since 1894. The vol cano is far down the slope of Mauna Loa, some 10000 feet below the great crater that crowns the summit of the mountain. It's fireworks are not dis played on quite so grand scale as those at the top, but both craters do their level best and take years of rest after their periods of spectacular ac- tivity.--New York Sun.

Walkers Conscience.
(New York World.)

AS Walker has confessed and says that his sole desire is to make resttu- ton to the bank he footed 1t is hard to see what difference the action of the Mexican authorities makes, He could have obeyed the dictates of his con science and surrendered himself al any time instead of remaining in hiding. It is not really the unfriendliness of Mexi- co to a foreign criminal, but the severi- ty of the Connecticut law which pro- vides for the punishment of bank thieves. of which he should complain. By singular oversight the statutes of our neighbor state do not leave 1t to the man who plunders safe to decide at his personal convenience what shall be his future movements and occupation The law-makers seem to have been governed by a deep-seated prejudice against trusting too implicito iy in the sound workings of a crim. inal's conscience and to have prescribed rules of conduct which clash with the ideas of perfect liberty of the predA- tory individual.

Theory md Practice.
(Hartford Times.)

Theoretically the board of pardons may internationally release Walker from prison to-day, or to-morrow, or at any time in the course of his im- prisonment at Wethersfeld. Theoretlc- ally the board of parole may condi- tionally release him after he has serv- ed his minimum sentence of one year. It Is not unfair to assume that both the board of pardons and the board of parole will exercise the power vested in them with discretion, with conserva- tisim and with a desire to promote the general welfare. It may be added that the average time served by convicts in prison Is longer under the indeternlin- ate sentence system than under the def- mite sentence system.

Independent Democrats.

The democratic party under It's pres ent leadership In previous campaigns has manifested a willingness to em- brace any doctrine which would win votes, with little sense for the re- sponslbllity for its practical operation In It's striving for success 1t has ig- nored the business prosperity of the country, and has departed from the sound economic and governmental prin- ciples, and has reversed It's own tra ditional views of constitutional con struction. Patriotic members of the party have refused to be controlled by party ties, and have either refrained from voting or have supported the re- publican candidate, May we not ap- peal to these courageous and indeperid- ent citizens again to give us their support in this campaign, because the reasons for their breaking the bonds of party are stronger than ever before?

 Difference Between Pnrtiesi Prosperity
 With Republican Sncccssi Business
 Disaster With Democratic vic-
 tory.
 I have pointed out that the attitude of the republican party with reference to evils which have crept in, due Co tho enormous material expansion of this country, Is to continue the Roosc- welt policies of progress and regula- ton, while the attitude of the demo- cratic party under It's present leader7 ship Is the change for the sako of change to the point of irresponsible destruction, and that there Is no hope whatever of q restoration of prosperity In returning 1t to power. AS said In our platform, we republicans go before tho country asking the support, not on- ly of those who have acted with us heretofore, but of all our fellow citizens who regardless of past political diff fcronces, unite in the desire to maintain the policies. perpetuate the blessings and make secure the achievements of a greater America,

Election of Senators.

With respect to the election of sem ators by the people, personally I am inclined to favor It. but fl is hardly a party question resolution in its ia . vor has passed a republican house of representatives several times, and has been rejected in a republican senate by the votes of senators from both legislatures of many republican etatcs. In number of states both democratic and republican, substantially such a system now prevails
 Innccurrncy md InsIncerity Of Demo- cratic Charges of Extravaganza in
 Increase of Offices and Expend-
 lures.
 Our opponents denounce the republic an party for increasing the number of offices 23,oo0, at a cost of sixteen mill lion dollars, during the last year. Such denunclation is characteristic of the democratic platform. It fails to specify in any way what the offices are, and leaves the inference that the increase was resisted by the representatives, of democracy In congress- As matter of fact, the net number of offices increas- ed was Just about half the number stated, the increase was due chiefly to the enlargement of the navy the con struction of the Panama canal, the ey- tension of the rural free delivery, and to the new offices necessary in the en- forcement of the pure food, meat in- spect.on, railroad rate and other meas ures which congress passed with all most unanimous popular approval The democratic party, so far from attacking any of this legislation, specifically ap- proves much, and condemns none of It and it is, of course, disingenuous tc claim credit for approving legislation

Income Tax

The democratic platform demands two constitutional amendments. one providing for an income tax. and the other for the election of senators by the people. In my judgment, an amendment to the constitution for an income tax Is not necessary be- lleve that an income tax, when .he protective system of customs and the internal revenue tax shall not furnish Income enough for governmental needs, can and should be devised which under the decisions of the su- preme court will conform to the con stitution.

Postal Savings Banks Much to be
 Preferred.

The democratic party announces its adhesion to this plan, and only recom- mends the tried system of postal sav- lngs banks as an alternative if the new experimental panacea is not available The republican party prefers the pos tai savings bank as one tried, safe, and known to be effective, and as reaching many more people now without bank ing facilities than the new system pro- posed.

Ever since the grounds were COM

places who gathered about the place
where the two "deers' were to view
them, and to express their admiration
and praise concerning them, and to
express their sentiments OF gratitude
and admiration for the council for
its ennobling work in preserving the
