The Rridna of Rnila.

Among the many works carried out
by the late Sir John Arid is the most
oddly named bridge in the world. This
is in Peru, on the railway from Lima
to Oroya, spanning a deep and precipi-
tous chasm over GOO feet wide and
resting on three gigantic piers. Many
of the men employed on the work
were ex-sailors, whose training ena-
bled them to work at dizzy heights.
Although the work was necessarily OF
a most dangerous character. there
were comparatively few accidents.
But an epidemic of bubonic plague
broke out. So the bridge was officially
christened Puente de las Verrugas, or
Bridge of Boils, a name which it still
retains.

substitute for the existing method of
selecting election officers-a method
which would be q very much nearer
approach to what was impartial and
open and without faint of machine
management, and that the other es-
Tsential feature was that the ballots
should be of such form that the vot-
ers would nave an opportunity to
select individuals rather than tick

mand and expect of every political
organization that they should put up
candidates whose names would bear
individual scrutiny. He urged that
the Democratic party had for sixteen
years been a minority which was as
sured to it because 1t would not
open its processes to popular choice
and to the free control of public
opinion. Because, in short, the peo-

feared that it was the servant OF
selfish political interests. The re-

Means Keeping Faith.
The Geran bill, he maintained, was a
means of keeping faith with those vot-
ers; that he felt confident that any
appeal to public opinion would sustain
that bill overwhelmingly. He wished
to make that appeal Unnecessary. He
wished the members Of the conference
to relieve the Democratic party of even
the suspicion that they were not eager
and willing without pressure from the
outside to carry out not only the ex-
plieit, but the implicit pledges Of their
campaign, He said that so far as
his own preference was concerned, he
would greatly relish going to the people
on the issue, except that it would seem
to bring him into collision with, and
oblige him to criticise the action of
certain members Of the Legislature. The
vote which the conference was about to
take, he declared to be one of the most
critical in the history Of the party.
