The PortlandTelegraru thinks if the
democratic state convention had put a
free-silver plank in the platform Pen
noyer would have taken the stump for
Veatch and Hermann would have" been
beaten in the liret district; while, if the
platform had suited Eastern Oregon
voters, Slater would have been elected,
and then the grand news could have been
heralded to the Minneapolis convention
that Oregon liad gone democratic. To
this the East Oregon inn a bed rock, dyed
in the wool democratic .sheet answers:
"For the life of us we cannot see where
the benefit would have come In. Al
rcudy congress is overflowing with dem
ocrats, so called, and more of them
would only add to their accomplishing
nothing, bat to waste time at the peo
ple's expense. There is no need of more
democratic congressmen until those al
ready in congress prove themselves real
servants of the people? The trouble
with the Telegram is, it believes more in
a shallow victory at the polls than in
accomplishing something after the elec
tion." r.rethern, brethern, this lack of
harmony will injure the good old cause
Th mayor has issued a call for a
meeting to be held in the Court house
tomorrow night for .the purpose of select
ing candidates for the various. city offi
ces, to be-voted for at the coining., city
electiou. . It is hoped that a good repre
sentative meeting may convene and that
andidates may lie selected who will
Tepreeent the majority of the voters of

310 issue before, the people,, excepting I
only that of economy and a faithful and T
Jionest discharge of the duties connected
-with the several offices and these are is
sues that are always before the people
at every election. Under these circum
stances let a full representative meeting
convene tomorrow night, let good men
b selected for candidates and let us all

Chauncey Depew is credited with say
ing that if Blaine had not written the
Clarkson letter he would have 'had
Depew'8 support for the presidential
nomination ; and more than that, if
Blaine had announced his candidacy at
reasonably early date before the
Minneapolis convention Harrison would
not have been n candidate. Senator
Hale accounts for Itlaine's strange con
duct by saying that "He did not want
to be a candidate, but seeing his friends
insisted upon his candidacy, whether he
was willing or unwilling, he resigned."

A WRECKING THALN.
HOW RAILROADS OPEN-. THE LINE
AFTER AN ACCIDENT.
The Train 1 Alada tip" at m Locomutlve,

Appliance, an J a Tool Car These
Cars Contain Kvcrythlnjp Needful.
"Accident to train No. 16, engine 48,
Engineer A. Jones, Conductor L. Wat
son." . , ; :
It is a dispach like the above that 'the
superintendent of a railroad dreads most.
He may have provided a most careful
system of signals,, may have perfectly
trustworthy .trainmen and competent
switchmen;- yet, despite all this, smash
nps will occur; trains will collide, tracks
will be blocked and traffic stopped some
times for hours over his busiest line. ...
. It is to prevent the stoppage of busi
ness that every railroad keeps on hand
several wrecking trains which are ready
at a moment's' notice to go to any part
of the system, clear away wrecks, tem
porarily repair tracks and to pat engines
and cars in sufficient good order to reach
.the repair shops. '
. The moment a wreck occurs the tele
graph operator at the nearest station
sends a dispatch like the one above, fol
lowed by numbered answers to the fol
lowing questions, which are copied on a
blank at the superintendent's office:
1. Place of accident?
2. What caused it? ,
3. Were any persons injured? . If so, what
persons and to what extent? ,
4. Is main track obstructed?
5. Is the track or roadbed much damaged?
6. Is a side track near the obstruction which
can Ije used to pass trains around?
7. Will section force be sufficient to clear ob
struction? If not, how much greater force is
wanted? j i ." -
8. How long will it take to clear the track so
trains can pass?
9. Is engine off the track or damaged? What
position is engine in?
in. How many cars are broken or off the
track? -
U. How many cars are wanted, and -what
kind, to transfer freight iu?
12. How many car trucks are needed?
13. Remarks of any nature concerning the
accident. ,
This is made out in full and signed .y
the conductor.
HOW AN ACCIDENT IS RETORTED. .
Supposing it was a freight train that
was wrecked. " It is- bound west, and
on account of a broken rail the train
was thrown from the track, and sev
eral box cars and "flats" were piled ap
on both tracks. The conductor would
fill out tho blank, and when received by
the superintendent would read some
thing like tho following: Engine 46 En
gineer, Jones: conductor, Watson; 1,
hear Brownville; 2, broken rail; 3, none;
4, yes; 5, yes; 6, no; 7, wrecking train;
8, five or six. hours; 8, yes, slightly; 10,
Beven; 11, five; 12, four; 13, approach on
southbound? track.
As soon q this dispatch arrives at the
office a spars engine is attached to the
wrecking train; a gang of men are has
tily put aboard, the conductor gives the
signal and the train speeds away to the
scene of the-disaster. , " ; - -
The train is made up of three cars, the
first a flat car with a small and powerful
derrick and a few spare . car trucks.
Next behind comes a box car well loaded
with blocking, which is of value as' tem
porary fonndation for cars whose trucks"
have been smashed or torn from under
them. In the same car is an ample sup
ply of large and small hawsers,- chains
and canvas covers to protect perishable
freight from rain and snow.
The tool car is last, and this indeed
is a most interesting one. . Some are
divided into two or three rooms by par
titions running from side to 6ide at dif
ferent points in the interior. In the cen
ter compartment of a three room tool
car, where the wreckers remain when in
transit, is a cooking stove and all uten
sils connected with a range, and hard
by isn small pantry in which is stored a
big supply of canned meats, coffee and
utensils to prepare a hearty meal. Ad
joining is the foreman's room with desk
and all material for writing and the
keeping' of reports, telegraph -machines,
batteries and electrical supplies.
The latter supply comes in handy at
the wreck. Wires are carried up from
the car top to one of the railroad wires,
connected, and the force is in communi
cation with the whole railroad system.
A COMPLETE EQUIPMENT. '
; Everything which experience has sug
gested as likely to be brought into use in
removing derailed cars and freight: is to
be found in these rooms. Along .: the
sides are a score or more "jacks,", some
.of them so powerful that a single man
can lift to a height of several inches
anything weighing from 1,000 pounds to
twenty tons; there are also wrenches,
rope, lanterns, axes, saws, hammers,
light and heavy;;- crowbars, torches,
drills, hatchets- and numerous other ap-
pjjances. : Some new appliance is being
added every time the train goes out, and
all. new things introduced in the work
are added -as soon as they are out.
It is very seldom that any tool is called
-for daring the work upon ' a smashup
that is not to be-tound m tbe resources
of the car, all of which are accounted
for by a. man who keeps a record of
Uevery piece taken. out and returned.
Upon the arrival of the train at the
wreck the men are put to work in charge
of an experienced mechanic and fore
man. With startling rapidity the wreck
is straightened out. The locomotive at
tached to the train is available to fur
nish power in case any hauling is to be
done, and if the engine of the wrecked
train is unharmed and on the "steel, it,
too, can be brought into similar use.
"In the handling of costly passenger
coaches careful work is required; while
in the case of overturned locomotives,
which weigh from thirty-five to eighty
tons,, the work of righting and replacing
them on the tracks is no small job.
, Oftentimes a few hundred dollars will
cover; all damages for what looks to a
novice like a wreck involving a loss ef
thousands of dollars.' In most cases
wrecked coaches and freight cars can be
repaired at a comparatively small ex
pense. Locomotives can also be smashed
on ; the -exterior to quite "an extent with
out costly or irreparable damage. New

troubled with rheumatism for two years,
but could get nothing to do me any
