"3Cot long before his death, I called on Dick Thompson, for so he Is best known, and I listened with unusual Interest to his political reminiscences, dating from 1S48, -when ho wan n Congress, and run ning on down to his retirement as Sec retary of the Navy Department," said CongresMnan-Xandis. of Indiana, to a New York Jpun writer. 'I had asked him about ohn Qulncy Adams when the latter was a member of the Lower House. After he had answered, he said: " 'Xandls, I haven't much longer to live, and I -want to make a little confession to you. It Is not 'mponant, perhaps, but I am the only ona 71vii.tr who knows the secret, and I (.hiiTc J shall feel better to know that I ha e told It. I was In the House when John Qulncy Adams had the attack which resulted in his death two days later. I was one of the four who carried him into the Speaker's room. He never regained consciousness. After his death we who had carried him out ot the House met and questioned one an other until each confessed that he had not heard Mr. Adams say anything after we picked him up. In those days the last wor-is of great men had an Interest which uoes not attach to last utterances In this. age. And bo it was agreed that Inasmuch as Mr. Adams had no chance to say anything for himself, v,e would ' "I was selected to formulate some thing suitable.

One of the four who had helped to carry him out replied, "I am content." These last words were not Intended to be credited to Mr. Adams. The member who said, "I am content," meant that he was satisfied with my re port, but I did not so understand him at the time. I thought that the. -words were intended as a sort of amendment, and added them. As they seemed Quite appropriate, we concluded to let uem surate with his worth. make some last words for him, eommen stand. and there they are as they have been quoted for 50 years. "Mr. Thompson was not a destroyer. He was not the man to mar, jostle or change, but ho assured me that he wanted" ,lb bo put right on this last-words business, as he called It, and I tell you the story as he told it to me. .. suppose ilr. Adams spoke some last words somewhere, but they were not the same which jou and I have heard about in our time." How Russia Is Hampered.

To take the railway first, it is poorly built, and until It is relaid from end to end and the 48-pound rails with which it has been laid replaced by heavier ones it will never be a first-class line or capable of accommodating either heavy or fast traffic. Even then it will have steep grad ients (1 to 60) and sharp, curves, to say nothing of the break at Lake Baikal, to contend 'with. Aagin, even were the railway thoroughly equipped as'a1 first-class line, for the great part of its length-at 'least its runs through, no "country; from which, supplies for. a large army could be withdrawn, and with its, base many thousands of miles away, arid connected with its base by only a single line of rails, an army of more than 20,000 men -would scarcely bo able to keep the field. for long. "Consent of the Governed." Chicago Inter Ocean. Since Mr. Bryan delayed . finishing his speech until after the North Carolina election he had opportunity to give at least a few of his 8000 words to that inter esting topic. Mr. Bryan's devotion to the "consent of the governed" in Luzon is so profound that he must have observed the occasion to apply the same principle in North-Carolina. If "Imperialism" means denial of "con sent of the governed," then "Imperialism" exists in North Carolina. It Is not estab lished by the Republican Administration, but by tfce "military" methods of Demo cratic "Red Shirts." It, is not put in force against rebellious Malays, but against law-abiding native Americans.
