differ materially in construction from our
own. They are necessarily open almost
their entire length, for the convenience Of
the travelling force of distributing clerks.
Nor is this all. It is only the first and
second class carriages in England which
are divided into compartments. 1t would
be easy enough for gang of robbers to
take and hold possession of third class
car at any time. In fact there are no good
reasons. outside of the greater density OF
population, why an English train could
not be robbed just as easily as an Ameri-
can one but it is impossible that the
class of crimes which are committed on
English trains could be committed on
American cars. In the Rock Island case
the robbers shot the conductor and pas
senger whom they mistook for the en-
gineer, but they made no attempt to rob
the passenger cars. Their object was the
express and mail car, and all that they
did could have been done just as easily
upon any English train. Our esteemed
English contemporaries, therefore, have
not established an Offset to the Brighton
railway murder, nor have they succeeded
in showing that railway travelling is safer
with them than with u.s.

CONCEALED WEAPONS.

Some of our esteemed contemporaries
have been smitten with conviction
wrought in them by Guitteau's crime
that the only way to prevent assassination
lis to enact a national law against carrying
concealed weapons, and have it vigorously
enforced. The motive of this suggestion is
praiseworthy, but the matter of the sug-
agestion has, we fear, but littla value. If
crime could be stopped by legislation and
police administration 1t ought to have dis
appeared long ago. Bat unfortunately ex-
perience shows that no laws can prevent
men from doing wrong altogether, and tina.
the best legislation can only effect com.
parative diminution in crime. Laws pro.
hibiting the carriage of concealed weapons
havebeen very often enacted, and there is no
doubt as to how they operate. Experience
has proved that they only disarm good cit
liens. Bad citizens ignore them, and find
their advantage IN so doing. Such laws in
fact only tend to render the better ele.
ments of society more helpless as against
the worse elements. The law.abiding man
leaves HIS weapons at home. The law.de-
flying man goes armed, and is therefore the
better able to rob or murder the peaceable
citizen. Nor is it possible to enforce such
laws with any completeness. Even an at.
tempt to do 90 would involve the subjec.
ton Of the people to inquisitions which
Americans would find quite intolerable It
would be necessary to give the police au.
thority to stop and search everybody, and
as matter of course such an authority
would be abused. In fact no law of the
kind could be enforced. and no law of the
kind could prevent any of the dangers to
which society is at present exposed. AS
fascination is after all extremely rare in
this country, and it is probably not worth
while seriously to discuss the need of spe-
cial legislation against that form of crime

THE COMPARATIVE SAFETY OF ENGLISH
AND AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

The English press appears to have seized
with eagerness upon the recent train rob-
berry on the Rock Island Railroad, as an
offset to the murder on the South Coast
tEngiish) Railroad the other day. They
argue that though few murders and rob.
berries and outrages have occurred on En-
glish railways, no English train has ever
been robbed. But the basis of this argu-
ment is very weak. For it is plain that
there is no equality of conditions. All
English lines traverse thickly populated
regions, whereas many if not most Ameri.
can lines pass, either at intervals or for
the greater part of their length, through
comparatively unsettled territory. 1t can.
not be assumed without evidence that the
English carriages would secure immunity
from train robbers if they were run on
American lines. Again, the English pa.
pers do not seem TO understand the molus
operdRdi Of our train robberies. As rule
it is the express and mail car which is
singled out for attack, and the passengers
are unmolested. Now it is clear that if a
gang of robbers planned the robbery of an
English train, they would find the seizure
of the mail car quite as easy az it has
proved here. The English mail cars do not

THE ADVANTAGE OF DISTANCE.

Symptoms of fatigue have already been
elected from California newspaper readers
by the long drawn sick-room tales emsnat.
ing from Washington just now. But 4
those whose patience has been tried by such
portion of the daily news as is set before
them could examine for themselves the
Eastern journals of the day, they would
feel ashamed of their petulance. AID would
marvel at the appetite of their brethren
beyond the mountains for gossip of the
thinnest sort. The Associated Press agent,
it must be realized, carefully sorts out the
news, and only sends the most interesting
matter to US. What he rejects lie, how.
ever, published at the East by the column.
and it is diluted intelligence of truly
famine-stricken appearance. Thus the
Eastern readers are gravely told how Cult
teau tried to beat his iailer ont Of cigar A:
how he sees shapes )" what he eats, and
drinks, and does, and says. Then the de.
tails OF the Presidents daily life are elab-
Grated to exhaustion, and all the opinions.
not only of all the doctors in the Union,
but of everybody who thinks he has any
ideas on the subject. are printed by the
ream. We do not know whether it is that
there is more patriotism at the East, or
more love of gossip. but assuredly if the
press of this State were to publish 1.-THE
OF the matter the transmontane papers
contain, there would be . strong reaction
against the Administration in fortnight.

nesperate shooting AGlray.

WALLA WALLA, July 19th.-On Friday
last q desperate shooting affray occurred at
CROSSWORD precinct, Umatilla county, be-
tween a school teacher named Kinney and
one Switzer. storekeeper. Kinney fell in
love with young lady living at the residence
of Switzer. Switzar overbearingly refused to
allow the girl to marry Kinney. The latter
proceeded to the store. and while sitting on
the counter, asked Switzer if ne knew any
thing against his character. Switzer replied
Nothing at ALL" Kinney said " Why do
you oppose my marriage?" Switzer said he
did not wish any one to marry the girl. Kin
ney said he heard that Swiizsr said he was
going to kill him. Switzer replied Yes,
did and guess I'd better do it now" at the
same time pulling a revolver and shooting
Kinney through the eye and above the eye,
He fired five shots at him. Kinney had a
pistol in his pocket and shot once, hitting
Switzer in the neck. Swiizsr then went fo1
an AK, but was arrested. Kinney is expected
to die every hour. Switzer will recover. He
is now in Jail. The girl said Switzer threat.
ened to shoot her and Kinney if they should
marry. The feeling is hard against Switzer.

TICKET sCALPING.

a fierce war Of passenger rates IS just
now being carried on upon the lines be-
tween New York and Chicago. It is pos
sible to travel to Chicago from New York
for SD, which is a reduction from the reg
ular rate of over 40 per cent, and it is
stated that the war viii be carried on un-
til the fare is brought down to S.. The
origin of this contest is ascribed to the
ticket brokers, who are in the habit of
buying large blocks of tickets from the
various companies, and who have, it is
claimed, been selling tickets below the
legitimate tariff, upon one or moro OF the
roads. thus giving those roads a practical
monopoly of the passenger traffic. To
meet this the other roads have put down
their rates, and so the war goes On, becom.
ing more bitter every day. The moral of
these cutting contests would seem to be
that however convenient it may be for the
railroads to sell blocks of tickets to ticket
brokers, they put very dangerous power
in the hands of these brokers in so doing.
For it is clear that the brokers are enabled
frequently to divert traffic from one line to
another, and that the ultimate result of
arrangements of the kind must be
to compel the companies to bid
against one another for traffic by offering
large commissions and discounts. The
sale of tickets to brokers may at times
enable roads to anticipate part OF
their earnings, but the indications are
that the broad general consequences of the
policy are mischievous, and that it tends
to the production of just such wars as
the one now being waged at New York.
And as the final outcome Of ali these
wars is inevitably heavy bill for the public
to pay, the latter would perhaps act wise.
ly in discountenancing this ticket scalpina
business on general principles. If we may
Judge from the results indeed the rail.
roads are quite as much interested as the
public in putting an end to it, and but for
the fact that as yet few Eastern roads are
conducted with single eye to the eff
cheney of the business, we have little
doubt that they would have abolished The
practice before now.

The Blessing of Regular digestion

best appreciated by tn, Sc who, having lost,
have ultimately recovered it. To form an
adequate conception of the horrors of dys.
pepsia, one must have experienced that
malady in its chronic form. A temporary fit
of indigestion, though doubtless troublesome
enough, can give no suitable idea when it has
taken continued possession of the stomach.
To anticipate and prevent the chronic phase
with Hostetters Stomach Bitters is the wise
course. While that Incompatible invigorant
and corrective conquers the most obstinate
types of dyspepsia, it is always wise to use it
early, and thus avoid prolonging the process
of cure. Flatulence, heartburn, headache,
bilicusness palpitations, nervousness. loss Of
flesh and appetite, and other concomitants of
dyspepsia, are all remedied by this sterling
medicine. Use it before meals and on re.
firing.
