Four cases indicate very defective discipline or train- ing, while in one case there were, says the report, in- dications of a moral deficiency. Concerning the best means of operating roads on h there are frequent trains the bulletin says: “It recognized that the block system or space in- terval method of regulating the movement of railway trains, the method that is required by law through- out Great Britain and Ireland, is a safer method than the time interval, and the fact has been touched upon in the annual reports of the commission. The records of rear collisions which have been published tend to confirm this. At the same time it is everywhere un- derstood that the block system itself depends on ade- quate care and discipline, and that defects in admin- istration or inspection, or in apparatus, or negligence of engine men or signal men, sometimes lead to col- lisions where the block system is in use.” Taking the report as a whole it would appear that the serious defect in our railway management is that of undertaking to do more work than the roads are equipped or manned to perform. When the roads fill up the ranks of their employes with untrained men during the rush season, when competent men are worked abnormally long hours, so that they some- times fall asleep when at work, it is clear we are bound to have accidents, no matter what kind of sys- tem 1s In use. The ~ontrast between our roads and the British lines in that respect is striking. The last British re- port at hand on the subject was for the three months, July, August and September, 1802. In that report it was stated that the entire number of persons in- jured by train accidents was but 248 For the first three-quarters of that year the total casualties were five passengers killed and 607 injured. During the same period only two employes were killed and seventy-four injured. It appears, therefore, that by adopting the block system of operating and by more efficiently manning the trains our railways could ma- terially reduce accidents of all kinds. ur serious time. In experie I | came to the S | the common sense of the people. THE PROPHET PUGH. NOTHER Democratic prophet is in the field, A in the person of the venerable ex-Senator Pugh. He thinks that his mind's eye sees a chance for victory for his party next year provided Gorman is its candidate and the fight is made exciu- sively on the tariff, abandoning silver and excluding from the platform such harmiul novelties as the initia- | tive and referendum and government ownership of public utilities, which he characterizes as “extreme and experimental measures.” He declares that the recent decision in the merger case is sufficient to curb the dangers apprehended from the trusts. He differs from Mr. Hearst, in declaring that combina- tions which destroy competition are to be feared. In Mr. Hearst's view they are good. Mr. Pugh is a very experienced politician. ~He applied to one of the Senators from Alabama for support for an appointment to the Federal bench. The Senator cut him off by telling him he was too old. Pugh replied, “I may be too old for a Judge, but I'm just the right age for a Senator,” and there- upon went forth into the political wilderness of Ala- bama and came home with that Senator’'s scalp and became his successor. But that was in Alabama, and when he spreads his judgment all over the United States the phylactery may.get thin. Just how a tariff fight is to be made under the lead- ership of Gorman is not plain to the common mind of the party. Gorman took the Wilson tariff as it plastic surgery so changed it that it resembled the original no more than I'Homme qui rit resembled the Venus of Milo, and Mr. Cleveland was compelled to denounce it as merely a record of perfidy and dis- honor. The Democratic tariff reformers are the fol- lowers of Cleveland, and they will make a languid | ight under the leadership of Gorman. The Alabaman seems to rely on the assumed de- sire of the people for a change. Of course the peo- ple may want a change from good to bad. Such | things have happened and may happen again, but the | signs that such a desire is abroad now cannot be dis- cerned. While this prophet claims that the people a-e weary and wary of combined capital, he admits that its | exactions have been efficiently curbed by President Roosevelt, of whom his opinion is significant. He says: “The Republican candidate will be most cer- tainly President Roosevelt. formidable opponent of the Democracy the Repub- His ability, integrity, courage He may Wall street money kings, or greedy monopolists or Republican bosses, and con- 1 consider him the most licans can nominate. and patriotism cannot be fairly questioned. not be the choice of tributions from that class may be few and disap- pointing, but it will nevertheless require the united forces and best generalship in the Democratic party to insure his defeat.” 5 How illogical it is to profess a desire to defeat Roosevelt while admitting that such desire is shared in common with “Wall street money kings, greedy It is a high ascription to the statesmanship of the President that he has forced the Democracy into an open alliance with those dis- trusted elements and forces. If the classes described by Pugh as opposed to the President desire his defeat how can they accomplish it except by a Democratic alliance, and how can that be except by a tacit un- desetanding that the curb put upon them by President Roosevelt is to be taken off if they help to beat him? 1i they do not contribute to a Republican campaign, as they will not, does Mr. Pugh expect the country to believe that they will remain neutral and make no If so he reckons too little with It is notorious that in last year’s Congressional campaign their contribu- tions were poured into the lap of Mr. Ben Cable, the financier of the Democratic Congressional Com- mittee, while Mr. Babcock had to look elsewhere for what little money he was able to get. Yet with that alliance between political hypocrisy and the “greedy monopolists and money kings” Mr. Cable’s commit- tee failed to elect a Democratic majority of the House, and Mr. Babcock, assisted by unpaid volun- eers, held it for the Republican party. The country agrees with Mr. Pugh in his estimate of President Roosevelt, and waits patiently to record that agreement at the polls by electing him to the Presidency by a majority probably larger than Presi- dent McKinley had in 1900. The fact, which men like Pugh fail to recognize, is that President Roosevelt has brought the country to the beginning of another golden age in American politics. . That was an achievement of Monroe, and except for the race issue in the South it is probable that Roosevelt would come as near a unanimous vote as Monroe did, who had all but one. Thz useful purposes of the Democ- racy were abandoned in 1896. The party was in power and was offered the opportunity to save the public credit and give the country sound finances. In- stead of dcing so it attempted to permanently destroy the public credit, and in the attempt struck down private credit and brought on a panic that is remem- bered like a nearly fatal wound. Mr. Cleveland saved the treasury by his own unaided courage, and for that was denounced as a traitor to his party and was de- serted by it. The country cannot be induced to turn now to that same party for relief, since it has shown no capacity to govern well, or even to misgovern with consistency and courage. The present stability and prosperity will not be exchanged for an idiotic opportunism. e monopolists and bosses!” contribution at all? For a long time a story has been going the rounds to the effect that Senator Hoar likes to read blood- curdling romances of the five-cent type, but they are telling a worse one on Justice Harlan. They say he reads books on golf. LATIN-AMERICAN TURMOIL. T was supposed that after President Escalon of I Salvador had met President Cabrera of Guatemala on a steamer and settled the difficulties between the two countries, which were referable to the pact between Regalado of Salvador, Zelaya of Nicaragua and Sierra of Honduras, the poliii:al waters of Cen- tral America would cease to be troubled. Escalon has a little arbitration affair on with the United States which promises to engage his atten- tion, since it is appearent that this Government is tired of the robbery and outrages of which Ameri- cans are the victims in those latitudes, and is deter- mined that they shall have proper protection. But Cabrera is not willing to let well enough alone, and, being fired by the success of Bonilla in fighting his way to the Presidency of Honduras, is determined to have it out with Salvador and Nicaragua, with Bonilla’s help. So the teapots are in tempest again, and foreigners are hiding their property and dodging the jailer. Within the last six months of disorder in Central America nearly twenty Americans have been arrested without cause. robbed without mercy and humiliated without recourse except an appeal to their own Gov- rate from the House, and by adroit | | ernment. It is time that the United States put down its foot in those countries. If they are compelled to pay for their defiance of their international obliga- i:ions they will have less money left to spend in fool Erevolutions. They seem to have less respect for Americans than for any other foreigners, and have | for years robbed them with impunity. ‘We might stand the too near turmoil of their con- stant revolutions, but we should not stand the crimes against our people in which they seem to revel and delight. If civilized government is ever to take root in those countries it must begin by holding them | rigidly up to their international responsibilities. The United States will do our own citizens and the world a service by beginning the lesson as soon as pessible. Single-taxers in Boston are making a reputation for hospitality by their banquets. Everybody says the dinners are delightful, and we may yet hear of some cpicure joining the party and upholding the creed just for the sake of dellying with the viands. IRELAND’S OPPORTUNITY. HEN the Irish land bill was submitted to Parliament there were heard amid the gen- W eral voices of approval a good many doubts as to the probability of-its passage. It was feared that British taxpayers would object to the increase of taxation the measure would entail, and that Irish extremists would reject the measure because it did not guarantee home rule. The discussion which has followed the bill has gone far to remove all doubts of that kind. A grear assembly of representatives of the Irish people has virtually approved the bill by intrusting the task of amending it to Irish members of the House of Commons, and British taxpayers have been appeased partly by the announcement of a decrease instead of an increase of taxation by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and by announcements from expert financiers that the expenditures under the bill will be by no means so large as were feared. Commenting upon the latter phase of the subject the London Times recently said: timates that not more than £5,000,000 a year of the new land stock (by which the money necessary to buy out the land-owners will be raised) need be issued in any one year, and that the amount of the charge upon the taxpayers for the purpose of the bonus will not at first be more than £20,000 or £30,000 a year, and will ultimately reach a total of not more than £390,000 a vear. Against this, moreover, the Irish government promises to make almost immediate economies of £250,000 a year, so that the ultimate cost to the tax- payer of what has sometimes been described as a gi- gantic operation should not be more than £130,000 a year.” That statement is surprising even to those who were least alarmed by the reports of an enormous increase of taxation to be entailed by the land purchases. It puts the probable expenditures of the Government at so low a figure as to make the measure one of very little moment from a financial standpoint, for in com- | parison with other expenditures of the British treas- ury that of £150,000 a year will cut but a small figure. In fact it shows that relief for Ireland is to be ob- | tained at a rate so cheap that there will be wonder | why it was not adopted before. Another significant feature of the discussion is the growing good humor of both parties. The Irish arc beginning to talk kindly of a possible visit from the King,-and the British have begun to recall with honor the words of those who years ago pleaded for justice | to Ireland. One of the most impressive of such pleas | was that of Cardinal Newman, who is quoted by the Westminster Gazette as saying: “I contemplate a| people which has had a long night, and will have an inevitable day. I am turning my eyes toward a hun- dred years to come, and I dimly see the island I am gazing on become the road of union and passage be- tween two hemispheres and the center of the world. I see its inhabitants rival Belgium in populousne: France in vigor and Spain in enthusiasm; and I see England taught by advancing years to exercise in| its behalf that good sense which is her Cbaraclerislicl, toward every one else.” Newman's vision seems to have been prophetic. | A rejuvenated Ireland is quite probable in the ncari‘ future, and if the high expectations of the far-sighted Cardinal be fulfilled, no people outside of the Irish themselves will more sincerely rejoice than those of America. B T NS The Chicago Tribune, which keeps tab on many kinds of abnormal happenings, says suicide is rap- idly increasing among young people, and not infre- quently they are led to self-destruction by the most trivial causes. . Generally love has something to do with the action, but occasionally it appears to be the result of pure wantonness. In one instance a boy of 13 killed himself rather than go to church, and an- other boy of 17 because he was disappointed in horse trade. a A curious cause of death is reported in the case of a man who on falling asleep in his chair let his head fall backward in such a way that he couldn’t breathe, and so strangled to death. It is hardly necessary to add that the incident occurred in Philadelphia, as that is the only place in the Union where men are so fond of sleep they would rather strangle than wake up long enough to see jf their heads are on straight. It has been announced that the Prince of Wales Ir. Wyndham es- | cannot honor us with his presence during the St. Louis exposition unless a sum of money for his en- tertainment is set aside by Congressional appropria- tion. As one who affects the gentle art of card gam- bling the Prince has evidently heard of our cleverness at poker and wishes to provide for emergencies. From the depths of his judicial wisdom an Ala- meda Justice has announced that in his court the peo- ple of the town, those that are sober and those that look unwisely upon the juice of the grape, are en- titled to equal protection. Perhaps a few temper- ance lecturers might have the desired effect. —_—— Minneapolis has joined the roll of American cities which are having trouble with the officers, past and present. It seems to be practically impossible to de- stroy an impression in the minds of American office- holders that they have a vested right in thievery. e Chicago is to have a newspaper edited by women and published by women; but as it is announced that it is designed exclusively for women readers it looks as if the proptietors were trying to work up a big subscription among the men. ———— In one particular the people of California and Fischer, the murderer, are in complete accord.

He has capitulat dies interested in the Little Si Infant Shelter, and on May 16 w up to them Fort Masc Dnce in charge of the post the gentle visitors will spike the guns, hide the grim military machin- ery behind garlands of flowers and cor vert the frowning fortress into a beauti- ful garden, in which they will hold a fete for the benefit of the shelter bullding fund. The ladics interested are exerting every effort to make this fete an event long to be remembered as an artistic triumph ava? a financial succ Major generals do not urrender every day, and no pains will be spared to make worth while this gal- ant warrior's graceful courtesy. The day the ladies hold Fort Mason is to be devoted to the chiidren. There will be grab-bags, Punch and Judy shows, a merry-go-round, a continuous perform- ance, ice cream in prodigal abundance and of tempting richness, and for the a petites worked up in Fort Mason's brazing alv a substantial luncheon. As the fete is for the benefit of the building fund for the Infant Shelter the lzdies expect to derive a revenue in re- turn for all tuis entertainment, but that all may enjoy the pleasures provided and that it may be in the power of everybody to do something to help this worthy cause, the price of admission has been placed at a nominal figure. Children will be charged 10 cents, and 25 cents will ad- mit an adult. The general management of the affair is in the hands of Mrs. C. H. Wilson, who is recejving able assistance from Mes- dames Feunimore, Burns, Bresse, Plerson, Grosse, Perine and members of the young ladies’ auxiliary. City Departments Want Too Much.
