bigger than any single session of con.

where the Taft pledge and the Can.
non cutlery for economy comes in.
Why Appropriations Run High.
Yet be fair. The nation, while it
wants economy in the whole, balks
at 1t In the part. Just as Oshkosh is
eager for public building, so too are
even smaller towns like Selma. Ark.
or Ocala, Fla. and all have practically
equal rights. The Calumet and the
Suwanee. famed of song, don't carry
equal traffic, but each has congress
man, and the appropriation bill that
makes the former fit for 12,OOO-ton
freighters must carry provision for
enabling the latter to float 6OO-ton
river steamer
So 1t goes. Taft may talk and Can
non may thunder. But the appropria-
lions do climb and will climb until the
states. or the people demanding them
shall cease their pleas. Right today
the noisiest appeals for governmental
economy come from newspapers in the
middle west, each one of whom is
pressing building or waterway bill
of it's own.

DOOMED THE RAILROAD LINE
Brides Experience on Honeymoon
Trip Largely Responsible for Build.
ing Of the Road.

The first bride who ever made a
honeymoon trip on railroad in Amer
lea did more by that act to expedite
the building of the worlds first trunk
line. declares Mr.. c. F. Carter, in his
book. when Railroads Were New
than the ablest statesmen, engineers
and financiers of the Empire state
had been able to accomplish by their
united efforts in half dozen years.
The bride who achieved so much
was Mrs. Henry L. Pierson OF Rama
po. N. Y. Mr.. and Mrs. Pierson were
in Charleston, S. c.. early in January.
1881. on their wedding. tour When
Mrs. Pierson heard that steam loco
motive was to make its first trip with
a train load Of passengers from
Charleston to Hamburg. six miles
away, she was eager to take the ride,
and her husband agreed.
The two cars were crazy "contrap-
lions" on four wheels. resembling
staSe-coach bodies as much as they
did anything else; but the train con-
trived to get over the entire system
Of six miles and back again at a fairly
satisfactory speed.
The bride was delighted. She could
talk OF nothing else. When she re-
turned to Ramapo she gave her
brother-in-law. Eleazer Lord, and her
father-in-law, jeremiah Pierson, such
glowing accounts of her railroad trip
that they were fred with enthusiasm.
The bridegroom had already become
almost as ardent an advocate of rail-
roads as his bride.
Young Mrs. Pierson gave It as her
opinion that II a steam railroad were
built 1t would be possible to go from
New York to Buffalo in "a hours. At
first the men-folks were inclined to
smile at this. but they were thorough.
ly impressed with the value of the To-
connective as described by this ardent
advocate.
Mrs. Persons girlish enthusiasm
was the determining factor which
crystallized the ideas of those men
and led them to take the steps which
finally resulted in the building of what
is now known as the Erie road. which.
by uniting the ocean with the Great
Lakes. became the worlds first trunk
line.
No railroad had more romantic
history than this one. which had its
inception in SO romantic an incident.
1t required 20 years Of toll and anxi-
ETY.. sacrifice and Encouragement to
get the line through. but it was ac-
complished at last, and the BRIDE
groom and bride were again passen.

some woman of middle age, but she
was just as proud of her husband as
she was on the first trip, for he was
vice.president of the road, the longest
continuous line in the world; and the
trains did move at speed that would
have carried them from New York to
Buffalo in "a hours. just as she had
prophesied two decades before

Jolt in the House.-Payne's At.
titude on Question Aired in
Tilt With Ames.

Washington, May 81. Whether
there shall be authorized by the pres
ent congress two or only one battle
ship of the Dreadnaught type was the
subject of long discussion in the sen.
ate while the naval appropriation bill
was under consideration. The princi.
pal speakers were Senators Clay
Hale, Gallinger and Burton.
1t was brought out during the debate
that the revenues of the present fiscal
year probably would not equal the ex
penditures, and that there would be
an increased deficit. This statement
was made by Mr.. Hale, and he used it
as an argument in favor of reduced
armament. Former President Roose-
welt was quoted as now being in favor
of diminution of armament.
That as a nation the United States
has gone wild in the matter of arma.
ment and especially in the construc-
ton of battleships was asserted in
practical consent by Senators Hale,
Clay and Gallinger.
The bill carries sl33.OO0,OOO and
Senator Hale predicted that within
five years the annual naval appropria-
ton would not me less than $175,0O0,-
900. Consideration of the bill was not
concluded.
The tariff, ship subsidy. a lively dis.
putation between Messrs. Ames of
Massachusetts and Payne of New
York, both Republicans. over Canadian
tariff relations, and an arraignment
of some of his Republican colleagues
by Mr.. Fish of New York occupied the
session of the house.

Diekema Of Michigan, republicans, ad.
vocated the proposed $250,OOO appro-
priation for enlarging the scope of the
tariff boards ascertainment of tariff
information. Mr.. Ravens of New
York, Democrat, also favored this ap-
preparation and indicated he would not
be candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Thomas Of Kentucky made a
humorous attack on Republicanism
and the tariff. Mr.. Humphrey Of
Washington pleaded for support from
both parties in behalf of the ship sub.
sidy bill.
