The street railroad has its faults, and they are
neither few nor small. But its convenience
saves 1t and makes it, in fact an essential fea-
ture of modern civilization. Take, as an exam
pie of its popular use the statistics of last years
traffic in New York city. Altogether 2S4, 49,
s62 passengers were carried, or very nearly q
total equal to the population of the city multi
Piled into the days of the year. The omnibus
traffic is relatively insignificant, and all other
styles Of conveyance do not make drop in the
bucket.
The general use of the street car Is, moreover,
steadily and rapidly increasing. In New York
the traffic has nearly doubled in amount in ten
years, and has increased thirty-three per cent
In four years. With these facts in view, it is
evident that street railroad franchises are not
to be thrown away

The Indignation of the republican senators at

The Indignation of the republic an Senators at
Mr.. Edmunds' comment on the extelt of his
official powers at the electoral count was very
short-lived. The revolt, like some of those in the
Panama states, lasted one day. Having slept
on their grievance, they perceived that it was
not crying sin in Mr.. Edmunds to refuse by
implication TO assume power which the Sen-
ate has formally recognized does not now exist
by seeking 10 incorporate that very power in
legislation now pending. 1t is disgracef.l that
Congress has let the whole subject Of the cleo
foral count drift for eight years, but not at all
disgraceful that a republican Senator had the
nerve to remind Congress sharply of its ineffi-
cheney.

Mr. Randall notified the House last Friday
that he wished to occupy the present week in
the consideration OF three appropriation bills,
the post office. legislative and sundry civil.
But 1t Is now Friday, and the House has yet to
consider the most important sections OF the
first of the three bills. II is quite possible,
therefore that the House will find itself able to
accomplish only one-third of Mr.. Randalls
stint. 1t will be remembered, also, that Mr..
Randall told the House that IL would not be
free from public criticism If it did not pass all
the appropriation bills and send them to the
Senate "by the 22d to the 25th of this month"
1t is now the 18th and three holidays inter
vene before the 25th, SO that only nine legisla-
tive days are left between to-day and the limit
OF grace which Mr.. Randall set. Five long and
important bills remain to be acted upon, some
of them certain to excite controversy. II must
be apparent to every one, therefore, that no
time is to be wasted unless the House is to get
badly behindhand with its necessary business
The practical usefulness of life-saving precau
lions in manufactures and other hives of human
life is strikin.ly Illustrated by the statistics of
industry In Germany. The ratio of casualties is
seen TO be governed by the extent to which these
appliances are employed. In districts where
precautionary measures are disregarded, either
through ignorance or penuriousness, the death
rate mounts TO forty, fifty and even sixty per
cent. In the total number of accidents, while in
those regions where safeguards are In general
use, the death-rate falls to five and even three
per cent These figures bear their own moral.
More lives, ii seems. sacrificed TO careless
ness and greed than TO all the legitimate risks
ofindustry. The subject is one that might prof
ttably be studied by the new bureau of labor.
The working>man has the right to pc protected
at his occupation by every reasonable defense,
and this right is one which should be guaran-
teed to him by the law.

The Liquor Traffic and Fire Insur
ance.

The Canada Citizen, commenting upon
the large losses from fires which owe
their origin to intemperance, says:
"The statistics of fire insurance show
that a large proportion OF fires are
caused by intemperance. The lntem-
perate are invariably careless, and, with
out any evil intention on the part of
the incendiary, many fires are occa-
stoned by persons when under the infiu-
ence of strong drink. Not only is this
the case, but so convinced are fire In
surance companies, by the stern logic
OF experience, as to the connection be-
tween the liquor traffic and fires, that
property in any way connected with II
is charged higher rate of insurance
than property used for ordinary COM
mercial purposes. Hotels have been a
prolific source of loss to insurance com
panies, although were it not for the
liquors sold in them they would not be
more hazardous, as fire risks, than ordlh-
airy public boarding houses. However
respectable a hotel-keeper may be-and
bookkeeping in itself Is a respectable
business-howeve careful he may him
self be personally; however strictly he
may insist on carefulness on the part OF
his employees, still there is an element
of danger arising from the habits of his
customers that it is impossible for him
to control successfully. Hence he Is
made to pay insurance companies ratio
commensurate with this inyariable haz-
ard inseparable from his business"
1t ought also to be added that other
property-owners are obliged to pay
higher rates of insurance than would
otherwise be necessary were it not for
the very heavy losses to the companies
from the fires of alcoholic origin.

What Saved Him.

A young wife had Just settled in her
new home All seemed fair and promis-
ing, for she did not know her husband
was a drunkard But one night he came
home at a very late hour, and much the
worse for liquor. When he staggered
into the house, his wife was very much
shocked, told her ne was sick, and must
lie down at once and in moment or two
he was comfortably laid on the sofa in a
drunken sleep. His face was reddish
purple, and altogether he was a pitiabie
looking object.
The doctor was sent for in haste, and
mustard applied to the patients feet
and hands. When the doctor came and
felt his pulse, examined him, and found
he was only drunk, he said:
''He will be all right in the morning.
But the wife insisted that he was very
sick and that severe remedies must be
used.
''You must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, cor | will send for
some one who will"
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved close and blisters applied.
The patient lay all night in drunk
en- sleep, and Notwithstanding the blis-
ters eating into his flesh, it was not till
near morning that he began to beat about
disturbed by the pain.
About daylight he woke up in the most
uncomfortable consciousness of blistered
agonies.
"What does this mean?'' he said,
putting his hand to his bandaged head.
Lie still you mustn't stir, said his
wife, f'you have been sick.
Il am not sick"
ooh, yes, you are you have the brain
fever. We have worked with you all
Il should think you had, " groaned the
poor victim. "What's the matter with
my feet.
''They are blistered."
"Well, am better now take off the
blisters-do," he pleaded piteously.
He was in a most uncomfortable state
his head covered with sores, and his
feet and hands still worse.
Dear" he said, groaning, 'if ever
should get sick in this way again, don't
be alarmed and send for a doctor, and
above all don't blister me again"
"Oh indeed | will. All that saved
YOU was the bIisters. And if you have
another such spell, | shall be more
| frightened than ever; for the tendency,
am sure, is to apoplexy, and from the
next attack you are likely to die unless
the severest measures are used.

it to say that he never had another
attack

Liberty Enlightening the World.

This great statue is the largest in the
world Some idea of its magnitude may
be obtained from the fact that forty
perrons found standing room within the
head \ six-foot man standing on the
level of the lips only just reached the
eyebrow While workmen were
employed on the crown of her head they
seemed to be making a huge sugar-cal-
drou, and they jumped with ease in and
out the tip of the nose. Fifteen people
might sit around the flame of the torch,
which elevation can be reached by d
spiral staircase within out-stretched arm.
The Colossus of Rhodes was nothing to
it. and II could carry .he "Bravaria" or
the Hermann" in its arms. The
weight of this stupendous structure is
440, 900 pounds, of which l76, 600 pounds
are copper and the remainder wrought
iron. When placed in position it will
loom up 305 feet above tide-water, the
| height of the statue being l5l.2 feet,
that of the pedestal 81 feet, and founda-
ton 52.10 feet. This imposing statue,
| higher than the enormous towers of the
great Brooklyn bridge or the steeple of
| Trinity church, which is the loftiest in
the city of New York,-higher, in fact.
than any of the colossal statues of
antiquity,-by its rare artistic proper
tions, as well as by its stupendous di-
mensions, will add another to the Won
ders of the world A word should be
said of its artistic merit. The pose,
stride and gesture, with it, classic face,
are pronounced perfect, the drapery is
both massive and fine, and in some parts
is as delicate and silky in effect as if
wrought with a fine chisel on the small
est scale. The conception and execution
of this great work are due to the great
French sculptor, NJ. Bartholdi, who has
devoted eight years of his life and most
of his fortune to this great work. and
whose generous impulses, which must be
on scale commensurate with this noble
work, prompted him to make such a
gift to the United States.
