A MODEL SwTToHMAS.-lt appears
by the evidence ELECTED by the Coro-
ner's investigation into the causes of
the dreadful catastrophe on the West
crn Pacific Branch Railroad the other
day, that the switchman, who was
carefully furnished by tho company
with timetable for his guidance as
to the running of trains, could not
read q word of his timetable nor
anything elsc--in short, that the poor
fellow could neither read nor write
Now, this is not the mans fault, but
his misfortune. But what censure is
too severe for the company who
employed such person in this respon-
sible position, with hundreds Of lives
daily in his hands? We fear that
there are a good many more switch
men to whom the timetables are just
as worthless and incomprehensible as
to this California pioneer in the
business.

ported pig iron. But we consumed

in 1868, on all which the price was
raised to the amount OF foreign iron.
Thus the tariff compelled the people
to pay the domestic pig iron makers

We did not raise one dollar ofreve-

three years, as there is heavy duty
