The new system adopted quite re cently by O. It. A N. officials rclatlv to the manner of sending out train crews, Is proving satisfactory. There are II permanent freight en Sine crews marked up on the board A regular engineer has a regular fire man, and when It comes their turn to . go out, the crew is assigned to any convenient engine. In the event that l either a regular fireman or engineer n a lay-off, the ranks of extra fire men and engineers tre called upon t supply the want until the regulsrjna returns. . . This Is a satisfactory system, espe dally to the old. engineers, and fire men, too, for that matter. It is more satisfactory than the customary pool .tag of all. engines and to all appear aces will be adopted permtnently, as officials are well pleased with It. REW'SYSTEH S3, TAX'S SPECIOUS EECO-ID. Judge Tuft Fnlata Oat the WeaV Spot in ih Nebraskaa'a ' Polit ical IlUiorr. (From Taft's Cincinnati Speech.) "What Is It that we have, to expee' from Mr. Brynu? Have we auytdlu to expect but what be promises? Have we anything to pect but what is based upon bis eloquence and bis adroitness as a public critic? Has be ever given any practical demonstration of his ability to meet problems and solve tbeiu? Has be ever done any thing but formulate propositions in bis closet of: an utterly Impracticable plausibility, and very little with a view of tuefr operation? 'By their . fruits we shall know tbein.' "With the record of promises and prophecies unfulfilled for a period of twelve years; with this record of a huut for an issue upon which to achieve the presidency; with this rec ord of repudiation, of negotiation aud of rubbing away from uatioual respou sibllltles, Mr. Bryan come' forward aud asks that the people now give him an opportunity to put Into operation new reforms In respect ta trusts and in respect to guaranty of bank depos its, wholly untried, wholly theoretical, and on their face bearing evidence of their Impracticability and of having been devised by the ready . brain of one looking for plausible arguments rather thai) real reforms. He only lu a qualified way approved the postal savings bank recommended by the Re publican platform, which la a tried and proved means of encouraging the wage-earner ami email fanner to make deposits lu a bank absolutely Becure; but much prefers a system which takes nuiu's money to pny another man's default, and which Instead of strength ening our banking system will break it dowu by destroying the value of the bunking character and experience and npltnl and by offering1 Inducement to reckless and speculative bankers with out character or capital. "The record of Mr. Bryan and his character, as it is understood by a twelve years' acquaintance with blin. have impressed the business communi ty of this country and those whose Judgment determines whether or not capital shall lw Invested that he is not safe mnn with whom to try experi ments lu government ; that he love financial theories- that are full of so phistry and are impractical ; that he advances propositions with but little sense of respect as to how they may be carried out In practice, and 'that he fives but Jlttle attention to the wel fare of the conservative business com munity in bis suggestions of reform. Certainly his record Justifies this Judg ment of hi in by the business men. If be was to be elected," unquestionably because of bis record, however much now be may seek to pose as a conserva tive because of his record, because of the failure of the theory which he has proponed for the last twelve years his election 'Will mean a paralysis of business, and we should have a recur rence of the disastrous business con dition of the lust Deuiocratlt adminis tration.1 , reaee. order, prosperity and contin ued Independence these are worthy ambitions that Republican policy In the United States holds out to the sis ter republics of the continent The voters like the course that the ship of state is traveling. They are not going to change the control of the rud der. The Republican party is willing to assume the nsponnlblllty for the cx peine of rural mall delivery and of dig glnjr the Pacamu canal. Theue are among what the Democratic platform calls extravMirinccs. The recent secretary of war will suc ceed lu the White House and In for eljm and domestic policy the man whtn Secretary of State Root pro nounces "the greatest peacemaker o: the generation." Popularity, not patronage, made Taft tho naturol successor to the Itoosevelt policies of which C.'almaut Prjau pnH'lalnm himself the bclr. There Is uo answer to this conun drum: How can Bryan denounce Rooseveltlsm and claim to be at once Its father and Its Inheritor? "A tax on legitimate business to pay the losses of speculation" Is a fair def lnltlon of the lKmocratlc proposition to guarautee national bank deposits. The application of the pure food law to the Democratic Issues would re quire the use of a tremendous Quantity of disinfectants. The 8,500,000 wage earners who have money In the savings banks are. not clamoring for the "guarantee'' stimu lus to speculation with bank funds.
