ASTERN authorities announce that the esti- mates of railway expenditures for improyements and extensions during the present year exceed *2,0000000 The proposed improvements ‘are not in any way speculative veutures. There is already enough businesd in sight to justify them. As a matter of fact j some of them are imperative, for the present transpor- tation facilities of the roads are not equal to the de- | mands of industry and trade. Last fall when the crops were being moved there ! were complaints everywhere of a lack of cars and lo- | comotives. It was said that when the rush of the | season was over thers would be no further cause for complaint. but the saying has been refuted by the re- | sult. At the present time the East lacks for fuel in many lotalities because there are not cars enough to haul it, and only a few days ago it was announced that the demands of traffic between Minneapolis and Chi- cago are so great the roads have had to delay hauling | wheat, flour and other articles of the kind in order to | be able to manage the transportation of goods whose i or tc the place of market and consumption is | | trar more pressing. In addition to the need of increasing the facilities freight business the roads need also a goo< deal of improvement in the way of providing for the of passengers. Within the past few months | there has been a succession o railways, and a recent estimate gives the number of | killed in such accidents in the last seven weeks at about 150.

That trains can be operated on lines of heavy travel and in thickly settied communities with comparative immunity from danger is proven by the fact that the British railways reported last year that not a single death from ident had occurred on any British line during the whole year. We learn, too, from the dis- that the French and German lines have re- dopted a system of rail telephoning which en- ins traveling at high rates of speed to keep patches centl, | abl. in continuous communication with one another at all | times, avoided. It is to be noted, so that danger of collision is almost wholly | furthermore, that several of the | worst of recent accidents have resulted, apparently, from the overworking of employes. At any rate the direct cause of the disaster in some of the most de- structive catastrophes has been a mistake of signals | or of orders either by telegraph operators or by en- | gineers, and it seems a fair conclusion that the rush | | of business has led the railway managers to |mpnsc‘ upon th a larger amount of work than | they were capzble of doing with proper care and effi- | There is a limit to the strain which the hu- man mind can stand. e inevitable. i i \ eir employe ! ciency.

N the prop reciprocity treaty s first submitted with the country was | »ded with stories of distress among :hc; Cuban and destitution that would surely | follow unless the sugar producers of the country were allowed free access to our markets for their crop -of | The American people are the most sympa thetic on earth, ard the publication of such stori went far toward creating a sentiment | | | peoy of that year. favor of granting free-trade” privileges to Cuba, whether it were economically not. Fortunately a ma- jority of the people were not camcd away by the ap- peal to sympathy. The reciprocity treaty has not yet | been ratified, and it s doubtiul if it will ever be, buu stories of Cuban distress are heard no more. In place | of them we have reports of progress and expanding | dustry throughout the island. A recent review of railway work in Cuba says that | | there is now a through line of communication from | one end of the island to the other, and branch roads, | | connecting the principal ports with the trunk line, | are in process of cohstruction. Among those which | | are so well advanced that they will soon be opened for traffic are lines running across the island, connect- | ing Santiago de Cuba with the Bay of Nipe and Jucaro | with San Fernando, and two smaller lines forming | a connection with Sancti Espiritus at one end -of the | trunk Tine and Holguin at the other. It is to be noted that the lines are not cheaply con- | structed, but represent the best railway work. The road is of standard American gduge, the bridges are built of steel and rest on piers of masonry, the equip- | ments are of the most improved patterns, and first- elass sleeping cars traverse the entire distance from Havana to Santiago, a distance of about goo miles. The design of the road builders is to open up the re- moter parts of the island and provide a means for the development of their resources. It is stated that along the line are large 4reas of hitherto unculivated lands that are well fitted for all kinds of tropical pro- | duce. The exploitation’ of these will, of course, in- crease the demand for labor, raise the rate of wages, augment the purchasing power of the people and ma- terially advance the general welfare. Agriculture, however, is by no means the only rich in | wise or | the direction of American and British capitalists.

The mines, it is said, were worked | by the Cubans as much as thirty years ago, but with | indifferent machinery, so that comparatively little suc- cess was attained. It is believed, however, that they are very rich and will yield big profits to skillful man- agement operating effective machinery. These items are but illustrations of the work of in- dustrial regeneration now going on in Cuba under tailroads, new mines, new mills and new farms will soon work a great.change in the condition of the people. There will, of course, be bad times in Cuba as well as elsewhere, but it seems certain the Cubans not need to come as suppliants for American sym- pathy, They have a rich country, and if they will only stain the men who have undertaken to develop it for them, they will have a future of genuine prosperity. ——— A Pennsylvania legislator has introduced a bill | “either by innuendo or otherwise in the likeness of | bird, fish or insect.” Whether the bill is de- | signed for the protection of men or brutes is not beast, a bird and yet have an affin with the donkey. CURRENCY REFORM. HOULD the present session of Congress end S without seeing something accomphihed in the Mway of currency reform, we will have to con- clude that the objection was not to any particular but to the whole issue. The advocates of action | have presented bills enough to satisfy all tastes, and there has been a willingness to modify every measure to suit the judgment of the most conservative. The recent amendments of the Fowler bill afford striking illustrations of the readiness of the reform- | ers to concede point after point for the sake of gain- | ing support for the one vital issue of providing the | country with an elastic currency. When first pre- sented the bill was a comprehensive measure of mone- | tary legislation. It covered the whole subject from the regulation of the silver coinage to the creation of a system of branch banking. Among other things it provided for a credit currency, the exchange of gold and silver afid the retirement of greenbacks. In its latest form the bill is confined to a single issue, that of permitting national banks to issue credit currency | notes equal to 25 per cent of their capital, the notes | | to be taxed one-half per cent per annum and to be safeguarded by a guarantee fund equal to of the notes outstanding. 5 per cent | | As if that bill were not enough, another has been | | introduced by Representative Padgett of Tennessee. | It permits national banks having a bond-secured cir- culation equal to 50 per cent of their capital to issue The | first 20 per cent of these issues are taxed 1 per cent | the next 15 per cent 3 per cent and the last 15 per cent 5 per cent per annum. The guaranty fund in the Pad- gett bill is also 5 per cent of the note issues, and the | tax on circulation is to be added to it as an additional measure of safety for the notes of failed banks. - When | the proceeds of this tax equal $5,000,000 the tax on the first two issues of credit currency notes will be cut into | hal\es reducing it to one-half and 1'% per cent per annum, respectively. As Mr. Padgett is a Democrat, the introduction of | his bill is taken as an evidence that the question of | | currency reform is not a partisan one. - At the same time it is fairly certain the Democrats will raise the | issue, should the Republican majorities in the Senate and the House refuse to provide for the needed re- | form. An elastic currency n fact, a national neces- | sity, and the party in power cannot afford to mL.-‘i | chances by indefinitely postponing it.

TATISTICS of the values of estates swarn to in Great Britain upon the payment of taxes known \’ as “death duties” show a much lower range of | fortune than we are becoming accustomed’ to in this | country. Thus during the past year 206 estates were | each, and yet there were only five of them with a valu- | During the last fifteen years there have been only cighteen estates reported at a valuation approximat- | ing $10,000,000, and of these only three were in excess | of $15,000,000, the largest of the whole being the es-| tate of George Smith, who made his fortune in Chica- | | go. the valuation of that being placed at about $25,- 00,000. The figures do not show up weil in comparison with | { the fact that they have to pay taxes on'the full amount reported, while in this country no such taxation ex- ists, may have something to do with the difference in the totals.

The Ameri- can plutocrat has surpassed them, and we can count in this country several men who have given away more than the value of what would be counted in Great Britain a very big estate, indeed. A notable feature of the report for last year is that the average age of the 296 persons whose estates foot- ed up more than $500,000 cach was 73 years. than one-fourth of the whole number were 80 years or upward, and no less than six had passed the nine- tieth year. As a rule they were men who had inherit- ed wealth, or had made it slowly and without taking great risks. It is reported that hardly a single specu- lator was among the number.

For, be it understood that this sweet singer in Is ligious ideas =o broad and be out of place in a Uni- tarian pulpit. He stands on the same plane of religious evolution with Theo- dore Parker, Willlam Ellery Channing and Ralph ido Emerson, and aithoush he has not soared to the dazzling hights of fame whereon are emblazoned those immortal and [llustrious names, he is-as great an apostle in his humble sphere as they were in their wider fleld. In.a recent sermon Rabbi Kaplan startled his congregation by flatiy denying the existence of the orthodox hell. This would not have been | possible 100 vears ago, but the chains of mental and religlous slavery, rusted off | as it were by the oxygen of the pubilg hools have been droppmg fast from the limbs cf the common people. In that memorable sermon he called atten- tion to the fact that the great lawgiver, Mos made no mention of future ishmen The rabbi said that it s that the horrors of hell were, in a a power for good, as they served to enforce obedience to the moral law, but they were like heavy chains on the | human soul, crushing out its freedom, its joy and its true moral beauty, which can be seen only in morality based on divine love and reason. He argued that | the belief in hell was inconsistent with the idea of God's love and goodness. The speaker said that he could nmot love a God who would permit men, women and childfen to be tortured by fire, or in any other way. The ethical idea of punish- ment was to prevent evil, he said, but not to avenge it. If the future life is free from temptation and passion it must be equally free from sin and evil. Pun- | ishment then would be simply retribu- tion, which would contradict the funda- mental conception of God as the source of love, mercy and forgiveness. | is enough of sorrow and suffering in this The world without the tortures of a hel rabbi clinched his argument by e: no such word as {in the New Testament, and the word sheol,” which s been translated to hell,” means “‘a grave’ or In a subsecuent sermon, theme the future state, the learned rabbi made the assertion that the immortality | of the soul cannot be proved with ab: | solute precision, because there is nothing within our limited experience by which it can be demonstrated. It is iike thought | itself, which can only be thought and not perceived by the senses. According to Jewish philosophy, God is not only reascn, but also the source of goodness, love and purity. Consequently a life de- voted to goodness, purity and love of the human race is a godly life and therefore attains to immortality. Dr. Kaplan delivers, occasionally, lec- tures on famous works of literature, es- pecially those dealing with phases of Jewish life. He also takes an active part in communal matters, and on those topics expresses his opinion from the pul- pit openly and fearlessly. When the Cooks' and Waliters’ Union recently pe- titioned the Inaugural Ball Committee not to employ colored help he raised his voice loudly in protest against such unjust dis- crimination, and it was chiefly because of his timely and forcible protest that the colored people were not discriminated The latter held a mass meeting and adonted a series of resolutions thanking the rabbi for his efforts on behalf of human rights.
