According to the last census there were
4is,957 persons employed on the rail-
roads of the United States. This is one
thirtieth of the males 81 years of age
and over in the United States. They re-
ceive $200,O00,OOO in wages. This
amounts to very nearly $500 per annum
for each one. There isno other business
whatever that pays so high wages where
so many men are merely laborers yet
railroads are not protected. The high
est protected manufactures pay but lit
lie over adollar day on 40 average to
their employees.

More sackening Details Regarding that
'tHeI1 on Earth"
BosroN, April 1S.-At the Tewksbury
examination Mary e. Bower, formerly
an inmate, said she could not eat the
bread furnished, but lived upon that
bought with money furnished her; never
saw any OF TIE Marsh family while there
the same water was used for many
patients having bad skin diseases
and many infested with vermin; when
there was time carbolic acid was poured
on the heads Of such patients; vermin
were all over the place, rata being so
abundant that the patients would call
the nurses to drive them away; one con-
eumptive woman was unable to call for
help and her feet were badly bitten this
happened every night until she died !;
the closets aud everything were filthy,
but when visitors were expected things
were cleaned; one woman who died
was large and her body was crowded
into 9 box by men standing on il; she
had on the same bonnet she wore when
alive; another patient occupied the bed
on which this woman died, that night,
no change of the clothing being made;
an old insane woman was beaten with
sticke and tied with ropes.
The witness had come on from New
York TO give her testimony and Brown
esked several questions, winch Butler
said were not pertinent.
Brown Fetorse1 that the character of
the witness 50 far was q 1T subject for

The Governor said he did not propose

might, by chance, come TO this hell upon

4 C4R FOR THE RAILROAD con-,
HeTcS MYERS


Commonwealth A statement was put
into circulation. aome days ago. 70 the
effect that the railroads were building
palasiai car 10 be used by the railroad
commissioners; that IL Is being fitted mp
in gorgeous style, WITH sidc-board, bill
lizard table and other adjuncts that
might be considered necessary for a
junketing party. People must know
that this statement is act true. How
ever, we can well see that it will be at
most necessary for the commissioners 10
have car fitted up for them. and how
it will be almost impossibie for them
to travel over the lines Of railway in
our state without having some conyen-
fences other than those afforded By the
ordinary passenger car, yet that 4 ear Of
any kind is being made ready for them
we do not believe. TIE commissioners

and an assistant along. They viii have
to take their hooks and papers with

transactinG business during the day and
travelling at night, and an ordinary car,
fitted up with sleeping apartments and
Office room, would be very convenient.
Now that the subject has been SO thor
oughiy discussed, and in a manner en-
titely opposed TO such program, we
! suggest to the railroad companies that
it would be proper for them 10 place a
plainly furnished car at the disposal Of
the railway commissioners. Such an
arrangement viii facilitate business in
every conceivable way. On arriving al
] a town this car can be side tracked and
would afford place where the people
could meet and consult with the com
missioners and transact all necessa

or be detained several hours after thcl
are through. We think, upon thu
whole, that commissioners car would

companies will furnish it or not is an

not ask it, and the state has made n,
provision for such car. Should IN
