MHY NOT TRANSPORT

The general public is naturally inter-
ested i'm knowing why the American
party is looking so anxioTsly for a can
dldate for mayor. when John Bransford
is about the only man in the whole city
administration deserving Of credit for
good, conscientious efforts to save the
party from utter discredit i'm the man
agement OF city affairs. Surely, un-
less it is the intention TO repudiate its
own best man, the American" party
would naturally renominate the present
incumbent Of the Office.
Of course IL is known that one of the
objections to Mr.. Bransford is that he
insists upon being mayor in fact as
we'll as in name; that he will stand no
dictation, though always open to advice
and suggestion. He has earned the dis
like OF the small politicians, which is
strong recommendation in the public
mind; and he has been persistent in his
determination to do what he thought
right and best for the city. regardless
Of party profit where it conficted with
public welfare Ordinarily such traits
would commend a mayor to his own
party. hut it seems i'm this case to be
reason for looking elsewhere.
The Herald has regarded Mr.. Brans-
ford with respect. and believes he has
done the best possible work under diff
cult conditions. He has been burdened
with a council dominated by hopeless
iy incompetent men; he has been re-
stricted in his selection of public serv-
ants to job lot Of ward politicians
whose chief aim is to draw the largest
salary possible with the smallest
amount of work; in some Of the most
important policies OF his administra-
ton he has been handicapped by his
own party leaders. In spite of this. he
has stood 10 his position manfully and
sacrificed his own comfort and interests
unselhshly.
II is not altogether impossible that.
being a Democrat and a good man. the
Democratic party might consider him
its logical candidate for the head of the
ticket i'm the coming municipal cam
paign. He might not want to take it.
and there might be reasons why some
other man would make a better race;
but just now the Americans" are do
ing good deal to bring about just such
a result.

THE SILVER MARKET.

The recent rise in the price of silver
gave birth to the hope that the tide
had turned and that the value Of the
white metal would still further increase
as a result Of the demand in the ORR
entail countries Such hopes apparent
ly rest upon slim foundations. although
the natives of East India hoard silver
in prosperous times and are lavish i'm
its use for purposes of ornamentatiOn.
The production Of silver since 1860 is
estimated at 12.4e times that of gold
in fine ounces. The amount produced
in the last twenty-eight years is ap-
proximately estimated at 1900, 600, 600
fine ounces Of silver and about 10000
600 fine ounces of gold. An authority
ON such matters recently expressed his
views as follows:
The only thing that could affect
prices radically is the exhaustion OF our
mines The American mines, especial
ly North American, including Mexico
and Canada. are the worlds greatest
sources OF replenishing visible stocks
Anything like a sign Of mines being
worked out would easily send silver up
20 per cent. But there are no such
signs. and progress of mining in Mex
leo on the west coast especially is cal
culated to add still further to the out
put. Still the absorbing capacity OF
the old world is great and no one can
tell how much more il will take as
economic progress is pushed to the
point where the masses of people can
take to ornamentation and get posses
sion of a surplus over and above the
bare necessities of existence"
The only hope for better silver prices
rests with China, and pressure is being
brought upon the Celestials to restrict
its use as money.

worth knowing. He left an endOw-
ment for the local church, an endOw-

could any man who has the money TO
spare appropriate more wisely a sum
approximating 100000 than in that
manner
We don't know how many of these
endowed towns there already are in
New England. but the number is con-
siderable. and is increasing all the time.

CONGRESSIONAL REPARTEE.
New York Tmes.l

There was a quick exchange Of wit
one day between Congressman Sharp Of
Ohio and Congressman James OF Ken
lucky Mr. Sharp was defining his po-
litical creed. He said
II want protection for every industry
until it is able to stand on its own feet"
Like a flash his colleague retorted.
'TH go that far: I'll favor protecting
industries until they can stand on their
own feet. but I don't feel Ike contin-
uing that protection until they stand

AS the train moved out. however the

and a shower Of rice fell out, while the
passengers smiled broadly.
But even that did not affect the youth
who also smiled. and, turning to his

SURVIVORS OF CIVIL WAR.
Estimates Prepared by the Record
and Pension once.
New York Sun.

2 WIN SAAA
According to an m prepared by
the record and pension office in 1890, re-
viewed in 1895. and again reviewed in 1906.
by the military secretary OF the War de-
partment and accepted as the most accu-
rate estimate possible, the probable num-
Der OF Individual soldiers alive at the end
OF the civil war was 1,s52,17S. excluding
deserters.
number of survivors in each year after
1890. the survivors in 1909 are put down
at s6s, sac.
eighths Of the union soldiers alive in June,
1855. are living at this moment, in 1909,
forty-four years later.
The author OF the report states that the
life table which was used in the calcula-
tions involved in the foregoing estimate is
based upon the experience Of insurance
companies with a selected class OF lives,
and it's rates OF mortality are somewhat
lower than those. OF other tables that are
based upon unsolicited lives 1t ia further
explained, however. that the veterans are
much better cared for than ordinary citi-
sens, in that they enjoy the benefit OF
liberal pension laws. preferment in NUM-
eipal. state and federal employment, and
the most sedulous care by relief sssocia-
lions and in soldiers homes. In this way
their chances of longevity are materially
increased, so that the life estimates re-
sulting from the experiences OF well con-
Quoted insurance companies will probably
apply to them.
Nevertheless the calculation hat in 1906
there are still eS. SS2 surviving out of a
total Of l,6S2,17S who were living in 1866,
forty-four years ago. seems buoyant, "a
say the least. II is not easily conceivable
that the average age Of the recruits en-
listed In 1851 could have been less than
twenty years. II was perhaps considerably
more; but accepting that basis. the aver
age age OF the survivors today who en-
listed in 1851 must be at least sixty-eight
ana or the survivors who enlisted in 1864
At least sixty-five. That Is a mighty fin
record for nearly 10000 out Of a little over
100000 OF men taken haphaSard In the
first place and enrolled without great
severity OF physical examination.
We think We may regard the estimates
OF this War department memorandum
without any great amount Of hesitation.
Let us add TO the I.652, 17S survivors In 1865
the &s.bS who are known 70 have died
during the four years Of hostilities and 50
reach the grand total OF 2,0ll,7 oi for the
honor roll OF the civil war.
