Republican Approximations.

It Is well for the Republican party that

impending political danger. is developing

to stampede. If one may credit half the
gloomy forebodings heard in many quar-
tiers. And existing conditions. material
and political. undoubtedly give fun war

one who runs may read the signs Of
the times.
But November is nine months off. Con-
ditions change swiftly in this country.
The masses are mercurial and easily
moved at times; then, again, they are
deliberate and understanding.
To-day. according to opinion based upon
observation the country over. there is
unrest, dissatisfaction with the state OF
things, and a rebellious disposition on
the part of the people that menaces the
immediate future of the party in power.
It is directed against Congress largely.
and Will make for an upheaval undoubt-
eddy. If IT last. But will it last? Nobody
can tell It may grow and increase in
intensity. or 1t may subside and all but
pass away. Conditions in the meanwhile,
political and material, will be the factors
controlling the situation one way or the
other. We have seen the G. o. P. in as
bad fx before. apparently-seen 1t on
the verge of a stampede. as now 1t
seems; and then We have seen it a little
later come compactly together and save
the day.
On our own part, we have no forecast
to offer But We do no; mind saying again
that the Democrats have the best chance
since 1896 70 score an inning-not that the
party has done anything noteworthy 20

opposition. and the country is in an oppo-

Running on Time,

From HarTsrs Weekly.
II is a common saying among railroad
executives that they can make all sorts
Of rules about running trains, but that

obeyed. Every railroad IN America is
striving after the-thUs far-unattain-
able. TO have all Of its passenger trains
always on time. Among every 100 men
who become fremen, only seventeen are

A CONVICTS ADVENTURE.
His Long Walk Across Africa-HOw
lie Reached Europe.

He Reached Europe.
From the London Globe
News was received in London on Satur-
day OF the death Of Joseph Creswick, who
while fleeing from justice, accomplished
one OF the most remarkable walking feats
on record.
Creswick was undergoing a sentence for
forgery in Rhodesia, and while being COM
veyed from one prison 10 another by train
as reported some months ago. conceived
the idea Of escaping from mis- guards. AS
his legs we're heavily ironed, the task was
by no means an easy one but one night.
when the train in which he was being
conveyed was between Buluwayo and
Salisbury and his guards were asleep.
Creswick quietly opened the carriage
door and Jumped out. When he reached
the ground he fell. but was not badly
hurt. During the remainder Of the night
ne shuffIed along In the dark. and at day
break could see the railroad in the dis
lance. He decided to walk i'm a straight

which. IN the circumstances, he did not

gun he managed to shoot several zebras
and other animals, which provided him
with many a welcome me-li but unfor-

hts ammunition became exhausted, and
he had to rely upon fruit for his sus-

The Nearby ManeuverS.

The plans for the joint army and military
maneuvers this year contemplate a new
camp, in addition TO those established for
the military exercises Of 1909. Congress
viii appropriate nearly 100000 for these
maneuvers, the House having already al
lOtted Sl.Sj0.OOO while the Senate amend
ments to the army appropriation bill,
just reported from committee, carry ad-
ditonal sums for transportation, subsist-
ence, &c This is a liberal provision for
the instruction OF the militia. only small
part Of which, However, will be able to
take advantage of the drills, instruction
and association with the regulars. The
new camp is to be located in Virginia
Maryland, or Pennsylvania, for the con-
venience Of the organized militia Of those
States and the National Guard OF the
District OF Columbia. and by this means
save time and cost of transportation TO
camps situated at a greater distance
from home.
This determination to select a camp site
which is accessible without too much
travel by rail is a wise precaution, since
il gives the militia commands an oppor-
tunity to get to the base Of operations
without too great expenditure Of time,
and affords them correspondingIy
greater opportunity TO receive the bene-
fit OF these maneuvers. Gen. Leonard
Wood is to have the selection OF the site.
and he may be depended upon to choose
a location which is admirably adapted
for the purpose. 1t should be sufficiently
far from any big city 10 protect the mil
itary exercises from the invasion OF
crowds Of sightseers that distract the at

IN military way than the joint maneu-
vers held at Manassas some years ago
when the headquarters camp became the
center OF society functions calling for
dress suits and ball gowns AS one keen
military observer remarked, it was great
social success. We have advanced ma
terially since that day. and the maneu-
vers ought TO be as serious as they are
costly, if the government is 10 obtain any
adequate return for the outlay
