We had a very interesting call yes

have been knowing Mr.. Irvine for a

saying that if he is elected to this po-

road companies and to the shippers.
Mr.. Irvine has been on the road for a
number of years and has devoted con-
siderable attention to railroad prob

will be found elsewhere in our col

railroad matters will give the same
careful attention Mr.. Irvine's pic.

WITHOUT A LEADER.

There may be weeping and wailing over In "dear old Lunnun." There may also be an aching void. or sone- thing just as bad. The news comes across the briny deep that "the leader of the American colony in London. |" whoever she may be. slcoming across and win sojourn for time in the White Mountains of New England. How can colony exist withou; a ieader3 How can she do any leading while she is hiding in the forests of Yankeedom
 These be grave questions of inter national import" learnediy comm,
 The Hartford Courant. "America owes a great deal to her colony in London. If you don't believe this inquire how many bonds are held over there se- cured by property on this side. Two classes make up our resident Amer- can population. They are those to whom this country owes so much that they can loaf where they please and cut coupons for exercise. and those who owe so much in this country that they have had to skip for their per- sonal safety. It is. therefore. a some what mixed socety and to be the lead CT of it must call for peculiar tact and savoir faire. In the midst of a Pres identia1 campaign and a somewhat heated canvass for the Governorship of the State. it would be gratifying to learn how this enterprising woman se- cured without any public contest the high and respected position of leader of our colony in London"
 We incline to the opinion that there is yet a third class to be added to the above-stated components of this American colony In London They are the newly rich who have tired of the humdrum and iow-level life in pls- bian America and desire to see life as she is." so they put on their best clothes-which they wear till they get to London taiior--and hie them away to England. There they may by some lucky stroke of fortune find opportun- ity to mingle in the company of lords and ladies, dukes and duchesses, counts and countesses. Possibly by some still better luck they may happen to touch elbows with a real prince or princess. and get a distant view of q real king and queen. And these three classes make up the colony which is now--or is about to be-without leader. Let us hope that substitute may be found to i'll the vacancy and save the flock from going entirely astrSy.
