It Is being demonstrated altogethei too often that two railroad trains can not pass each other successfully 01 the HUIUU track. Cannot some metlioi be found to prevent them from tryliu It ? There is every reason to believe tha George N.

He should be elected. . Kansas City's postotllce has a re markable record. There has been a . decided increase In business every month for the lust twenty-four months. There are many other evi dences that Kansas City is enjoying an era of wonderful prosperity and 1 business activity. Mr. Chanler , the Democratic nomi nee for governor in New York is worth $10,000,000. In 1SDG Mr. Hryan would have viewed him with alarm as one of the plutocrats of the east. Hut in 190S he finds Mr. Chanler useful to his purposes and "points to him with pride" as the poor man's candi date. Great country this , and a ver satile politician , Mr. Uryun. John Lynn of London claims to have perfected a device by which he can look across the Atlantic and rec ognize people In America that he can look through stone walls , mountains or nnytUixig placed between the two instrument * ; which comprise has ma- 'chine. This device should prove of material bonollt for varied purposes. Sir Thomas Lipton Is said lo be in terested in the invention. If more young men would follow the example of young lloosevoli and start in a line of business that pro duces some needed article , the country would be iimrh belter off. Most young men In his | * o.iitlii would have made their way at once lo a broker's olllco. These Hues of business are nonproductive ductive , and Iho great need of the country is for workers lo produce the necessary commodities of civilization. Senator llnveibfge in the Saturday Evening Test likens tin1 political movement with whfch the m.mes of UooBovoU nnd Taft are associated , with the hlstorln moviunonts for-Amor- j lean Indrpnnd'MHe nnd the abolition of alavery and file * tb" fftct i thnl both these previous ino\emnnt wen * opposed by the monleit liitoronta cen tered In New York. lie prophnflioa that while the movement for siilct en- orcement of the law In every depart- nciil of luminous ban been ( -hoiked , lint It has not been permanently stopped , that under I leadership of HO eminently snno nnd Judicial n " is Tuft , who represents the sound noral sense of the country , the tnl- nlnlstrntlon of national affairs will 10 wisely , fnlrly and quietly con- luoloil. Down In llra/ll Ihoy have- just sot- Hod a tobacco surplus by net of par- llamonl nnd action of olllelnls lu " manner to specially attract Mr. Mry- an's admiration. In absence of nlghl 'hlors ' to bum and doalroy Ihe Holds of tobacco and an keep Hie production Jown , the Hra'/lllan parliament paused a law11 hat when the price of any artl- * Buffered through over production , the Murplus of said article over and above a good price should be rulh- lessly destroyed without regard lo the world market , with duo regard for those planters who would suffer fiom reduced prices. So the tobacco was destroyed and the price rose. Surely Mr. Hrynn could complete his remedy for the I rust a by thla method of do st ruction. 1IANDLINC5 TillLAHOK : VOTK. There Is every evidence , more and more cumulative , that the attempt lo throw the labor vote of the country to Mr. llryan Is doomed to Ignominious failure. At the beginning of the cam paign. Samuel flompora , the boa 1 of the Federation of Labor , with great nclat gave Mr. Itryan lo understand that he had Ihe labor vole In bin hands and would see Hint , it wn properly used for the Democratic can didate in November , llul Mr. Com- pora undertook a larger job than ho contemplated , and It Is already cer tain i hat he can not deliver the goods. The fact Is that Iho labor vote of this counlry win not be delivered lo any party. Men who work in the factory or on the railroad , and in a thousand and one places for wages are not in this country the prey of any dic tator. They are free , independent , In telligent , American freemen and any attempt to classify them or drive them as a herd in any one direction meets with the resentment which only freemen give , fiovornor Hughes , in his talk to the railroad men ol Nebraska voiced the thought of thr laboring men when he said : "You can't tell mo any one can deliver the labor vote. The average American workman is too shrewd and indepen dent , a thinker to bow to dictation. ' \This \ statement of Oov. Hughes find * corroboration in a loiter written U a friend by .lames Duncan , vice pros ! dent of the American Federation oj Labor. The friend asked him if it was true that the labor vote was U be delivered to any particular presi dential candidate. Mr. Duncan's reply is commended to those men , who , like Mr. Hryan , go about thr country claiming that they have this * particular vote in their hip pocket He says : "The labor movement ad vises study of the subjects and prin clples of the great political parties t and admonishes every organize ! worker to cast his vote on electlor day in strict accordance with bis con science , as to what would be the besi for Hie whole people. " The hue and cry sent out by a portion of the public press , that the labor vote was bolnti bartered is but one of the forms ol political buncombe which is used for exaggeration and to befog the public mind. THAT "CONCENT OF THIS I'OYVEKS. " There has been no more persistent lie in the immense library of diplo matic fiction than the assertion of a fixed "concert of the powers , " which has been shaken in the face of every body subject to weak heart action for many years. After the last Hurao- Turkish war It was brought in active use. Ilussla was actually com pelled to relinquish the advantages which she was entitled to , because she was made to believe that there was a "concert of the powers ; " that they had llxed as their ultimatum the ter ritorial arrangements prescribed in the treaty of Uerlin ; and that refusal to agree or abide by these would be n signal for united action by the pdwers against the rebel. There never was n feebler or more obvious scarecrow. Poor , feeble- old Turkey has shown up Ihe "concert" whenever she felt like It. She linn disobeyed orders and Invited a "dem onstration , " always succeeding in { jot ting some more credit or whato\or else she was alter , through fear by the other powers that their man of stra v would be exposed for what ho la. The other nations have never agreed on any Issue or for a single instant except when they made a letting ting expedition Into China nti'l hope' ' ] to divide her territory. They are ut terly cold-blooded , solllsh , Incapnhln of j any act or policy Hint Involves effort or saerlllco for anything In the general good. Austria has perceived this and punc tured the niKiient fiction. Gho know that there Is not and cannot he , until peoples and governments ehanso , any * bltlK roKetnbllllE n cono'Mtnf I'u | Ki\\ rs. " she wnntod some tfriilor > oilier- v. ice pi mlded for b > the treaty of llorlln. It did not mutter that nlie was I one of the "rnneortors , " or that ho ' wn drawing upon hornolf Hi" nuppo- r.ltlon wrnihof all Rurnpn. She went out and grabbed It , Inciting n neighbor , to do the saino thing , fttrl then doelar- ' od that the matior wan no concern of j any one but herself. There In n great pother In ICurope. The "concert" gels I busy , noloH are ovrhflugod , n confer ence IH railed. II Is declared'solemnly Hint the "concert" will not permit the outrage lo aland. If there were any such thing us a "cnnrert of the pow ers" It could restore the former nlnttia lu twenty-four hours. Hut slneo there la nothing but fear and halo , nobody daring lo strike the Ural blow , AUB- trla'a coup will stand. TIIH COl'NTllY IN DANOI3H. If all the people understood rightly what Is Involved In the present na tional campaign , the apathy so gen erally complained of would give place lo Ihe llvllesl interest , For , Indeed , the Inct Is thai there has not boon lu recent years , not oven In 1S1N5 , an elecilon so fraught with momonluotm fonacqnencoH lo the nation. The dif ficult y Is that these have not been forced as prominently to the front aa they would have been , end therefore a largo portion of the voters have not r von thought of Ihoin nl nil. In our opinion , there are just two Issues that should he the main subject of every discussion of national poll- ( lea from this until election day. What Is the use of talking tariff ? K Is fully and explicitly covered by ; he parly platform. What in the UBO of discussing the maintenance of the Uooaovolt policies ? The candidacy of Mr. Tafl alone Is a Kiifllieonl pledge of that. All those mailers are well understood by Ihe people anil they are sal laded with the all unt Ion. lint how about our banking system ? And how about the supreme court' . ' The question of guaranteed bank deposit R would involve the wreck of the banking system in this country mid the collapse of its credit. It Is actually more threatening , though not so immediate in Its effects , than free silver. Let every man with a dollar in a bnnk understand that , instead of protection , tills policy contains the gravest throat of its loss , and he will think twice before voting for Mr. Hryan. The second issue is even more vi tal. It Ktrikes at the ultimate source cf law in Ibis country the supreme court. Should Mr. liryan bo elected , bo would probably have the appoint ment during its term of four of its j nine members.Ve learned in IS'Jll what his views are. Ho believes in a political supreme court ; In one that will pass on laws not according to the constitution , but according to the last popular vote. That is tlostruetivo. Is the country prepared for it ? TillUHTUHN : OF THIC FLF.F.T. When Admiral Sperry's fleel , now at. Manila , reaches Hampton lioads. having completed its voyage around the world , there is going to be the great est demonstration in ( lie history of the American navy , according to present plans. Theodore Hoosevelt will bo master of ceremonies , and as the licet is not due in Hampton ttoadn until February I1 ; : , this probably will he his last public appearance as president , except at the inauguration of his suc cessor. The plan to make the home coming of the licet a notable one originated with the president , and he lias bis heart set on making it a svc- coss. lie will invite his successor , \\hnlioi r.if 01 llrynn t.i .

That Is about nti far as the preabloni eon go ofT.ciaUy , but unnillciiilly lie will onnourng * r-IH mm to give the oMIoors and nun Riiob n reception aa will dwarf even the hoapllolltlos ahoworod upon them abroad. Mr. Itoojovolt has Indicated his willingness to attend a banquet to Iho olllcers of ihe Hoot , nt Old Point Comfort , and he will much more readily nccepl an Invitation to attend a humniot to the enlisted men. In fact , lie has given It to be understood that ho is especially anxious that the enlisted - listed men be nhown that I hole work Is appreciated. The original program of the navy department contemplated that the Hoot should end its voyage In New York harbor , but there Is little doubt I but that this will he sol aside by the i president In favor of Hampton Hoads. j One reason Is thai climatic conditions 'In ' February will be much holler nl ihe more s-oulhorii port , but of more weight to Iho president if the argu- ' meni Hint In order to make as mem orable as possible the licet should re turn on schedule lime to the exact j spot from which it began IIa voyage. 1 Virginians are very anxious lo ahow jlholr ItoHpllnlityto ( he licet and there la every reason lo believe Ihal they will have nn opportunity. ATCHISON GL03E SIGHTS. i Some kinds of meanness are more i unpopular than others , II I I At some time. In thn life of every I man he tries poetry and the chicken . business. . If a woman is sickly , il. is not nn- unlly discovered \\m\\ \ \ \ \ after fho is married. Kvory windy day wo wonder at how thin It is possible for pome women to i become. Electing n man to olllco Is as sure away i way of discovering his faults as marrying - rying him. ! Do your duty and attend to youi | work faithfully and you will not siiffei much from hard times. Al some pt rlod of her life nearly every married woman has thought ' aoiionaly of leaving her htmband. The only time some husbands take their wlvo's arms is when they assist I them into a carriage at a funeral.
