AM | MY BROTHERS kEEPERa

. Ny days are filled with comfort And my nights arc passed in ease; Iris presumption to annoy me With questions such as these. They tell me of the pauper
 The sick and the oppressed, The worn and weary workers The sorrowing and depressed. The young whose noble longings Perish in the sordid fight for gain, Who fall into the tempter's tolls, And whose struggles are in vain, The waifs, half clothed and starving The orphan and the widows vail Why haunt my downy pillow With their specters gaunt and pale! Yes, we arc our brothers keepers; Who lives unto himself To gain. to trade, to barter,
 To gather gold and pelf. To ignore the pleading glanoes Of poverty and woe, Shall have small capital to start with In that land to which we go. With hands outstretched and empty Like the beggar at our door, Shall we reach those shining mansions Where our loved have gone before. Oh, Lord! shametaced and contrite. Let us not waiting stand; By love and suffering sanctified Let us enter in Thy land.

A new enterprise in British Colum" bia has in view training young men sent out from England to draw a straight furrow, handle horses and cattle, and fit them to manage farma and cattle ranches. The younger sons of English gentlemen are apt to find. when they alight on a ranch, that their attachments are sadly deficient in those particulars which would fit them to be- come cattle kings in the boundless West. The training farm aims to in- itiate them gradually into the mysteries of frontier life and to introduce them by easy stages to that unique product the cowboy. 1t is estimated that 1t will take two years to make a ranchero of the average young Englishman.

Tho time of thinking has been esti- mated, with some interesting results: It takes about one-tenth second to see & color, one-seventh second to see a word. It takes longer to see some letters and words than others. A word can be named in ono-ninth second, whereas one-third second is needed to name & color. It takes about twC-ffths second to call to mind the county in which & well-known town Is situated; one-half second to say which of two eminent men is thought to be the greater.

SHERIDAN IMPROVING.

The country at large will heartily re-
jOice with the family of Gen. SHERIDAN
over the excellent prospect now exist
ing of the gallant veterans speedy re-
covery. Having recovered sufficiently
to send a telegram to personal friend,
expressing his belief that he would soon
be able to sit up, it is fair presump-
ton that his recovery is now assured.
But though the country has sympa-
thiZed deeply with the apparent plucky
struggle of the general with the grim
monster, there now arises an ugly story
that the feelings Of the country have
been ruthlessly trifled with. 1t is said
that at no time has Gen. SHERIDAN
been in immediate danger of death, or
so i'll as the bulletins have indicated.
1t is even asserted that certain among
the doctors, for the purpose of en-
hancing their own reputation, have al
lowed the impression to go forth that
the general was as near death as he
could be and live, in order that the ad-
vertiSement of professional skill might
be the greater through his recovery.
For the credit of the physicians who
have been attending Gen. SHERIDAN,
and for the credit of their profession, it
is to be hoped that this story will be re-
futed.
But he has evidently been a sick
enough man to warrant the greatest
possible satisfaction over his returning
health, and to cause heedlessness of the
fact that thereby certain doctors have
been benefited in reputation and in

DENOUNCING THE MILLS BILL

Our Republican friends, as was eX-
pected, denounced the MILLS bill vigor-
ously. In this they were at least con-
fuse the people any relief at all from
excessive taxation. But in their de-
nunciation they betrayed a curious dis
regard of the facts in the case.
The average of the present tariff is
65 per cent; the average should the
MILLS bill be come law would be 4S
per cent. A reduction so slight as to be
of small material benefit, yet better
than nothing. Still, despite the inSig-
tariff advocates wildly shrek that,
should it go into effect, the American
laboring man and farmer would be re-
duced to abject poverty. This may be
good enough doctrine for political
fanatics, but it won't appeal very forci-
bly, to reasoning men, no matter what
party they may belong to.
The reduction contemplated by the
bill is less than that which the Repub-
licans have at various times themselves
proposed, but they are constantly for
getful of that fact. The whole truth of
the matter is that the high tariff barons,
finding themselves in position to in
sist upon their pound of flesh, are as
exacting in demanding every ounce of
it as ever SHYLocK, whom they so
much resemble. was.
They have the power and intent to
use it, unless the people prevent-a
contingency that is sure to happen.

THE FISHERIES CLAUSE.

Strange are the inconsistencies of
politics, especially of Republican poll
tics.
1t was but recently that the entire
Canadian press was berating the Cana
dian fisheries commissioners for allow
ing this country's representatives to get
the better of them in the compilation of
the famous fisheries treaty. Indeed, it
was even asserted. and on the floor of
the Canadian parliament, too, that the
Dominion commissioners had made
complete surrender of their case.
But 1t seems that the Republican plat
form committee, in the plenitude of its
wisdom, does not look at it in that light.
1t takes quite a contrary view of the
ma tier and denounces the Democratic
administration 'for having surrendered
to the Dominion government" This is
very funny, of course, but it brings with
it the serious reflection that either our
Republican friends are singularly igno-
rant of contemporaneOus history or they
are re.willfully diSregardful of the elements
of veracity in their compilation of cam
paign literature.
Precedent and acquaintance with ordi-
nary Republican methods would war
rant the adoption, without question, of
the latter view.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
There is more or less discussion just
now as to who shall be the Democratic
candidate for congress in this district.
Duluth was anxious that Judge Stearns
should be the Republican candidate,
and failing, there is a strong feeling
over there that the Democratic nominee
should come from that place, and that
as Duluth man he would get large
Republican vote. This is probably true,
but the bulk of the population of the
Fifth district lies far west of Duluth. If
we are to stand a ''fighting chance" for
Democratic success it would be the part
or wisdom to select candidate nearer
the center of the voting population.
In our Judgment. the Democrats
would score great point by selecting
as their nominee some able Scandi ma
Wan Democrat, who is sound on tariff
reduction, and who would make can
vass on that issue. There is an immense
Scandinavian population i'll the district.
They would be greatly impressed and
influenced by national pride in electing
as the successor of their countryman,
Knute Nelson, one of their own race.
Of course, we will not insist that this
is consideration which should at all
times govern party action, but, when
the organization is confronted by 10000
or 1900 majority such plans as the one
we propose should not be sneered at.
The Fifth district should elect tariff
refOrmer.

HoRNELLSyILLE, n. Y, June 23.-
Erie Train No. 5, the st. Louis and Chi
cago limited express, due here at 9:57
a. m,, was wrecked at White House. a
small station fifty-four miles west of
here, at 6:15 this morning. The train
left the track and the engine lies bot
tom side up in the ditch. The first re-
ports received from the disaster were
that the engineer, fireman and one pas
Senger were killed, and from six to
eight others injured. The wrecking
train was sent from this city, and Supt.
KniblOe, of the Western division, with
physicians from here, left for the scene
of the wreck. Engineer Henry Trask,
of this city, was killed; the fireman,
named Sweet, also of this place, was
seriously, if not fatally injured, and
lady passenger, Mrs. Hale, of Buffalo,
was seriously injured.
the cause of the accident on the Erie
at WhitehOuse to-day was misplaced
switch. The engine and four cars left
the track. The train was one hour and
forty minutes late and running fast
to make up time. Engineer Trask
and Fireman Sweet were pin
i0ned under the tender Trask
talked to the men while being dug
out, but died before he was recovered.
Sweet was seriously injured internally,
and his recovery is doubtful. With the
exception of Mrs. Hale, of Buffalo, all
the passengers escaped serious injury.
The smoker contained fifteen people.

were killed.

TWO FINANCIAL METHODS.

Some years ago the town of Elizabeth,
n. j., carried Oh an extensive system of
improvements. At the end of them it
found itself in debt to the extent of &c.,
100000. The city found itself unable to
pay this sum, and with an utter harden
ing of the municipal conscience
promptly defaulted.
Last week the city agreed to a prOpo-
SitiOn from its creditors to rearrange its
debt on the basis of 80 cents on the dol
lar. This, notwithstanding the fact that
Elizabeth claims to be a prosperous city,
and is populated by people who presum-
ably are anxious to maintain their in
dividual credit. We do these things
/ differently in the West.
There is not a Western town Of the
size of Elizabeth whose bonds do not
sell at par or a premium. or whose
municipal officers would undertake eX
tenSive Improvements for which they
did not see their way clear to pay. The
difference lies in the fact that the East
has pretty nearly reached the climax of
its development, and its people have
lost energy. In measure dry rot has
attacked them. The business-like ways
and the resistless energy of the West,
and especially of the Northwest, they
read about doubtfully, but hesitate to
initiate. They have no promise for the
future, and very little performance for
the present.
Therefore, unless their financial cloth
is cut in accordance with their sheer
necessities, they are likely to find them
selves very much out at the elbows.
And that is something which never hap
pens to the thriving cities of the West,

THE FOE OF FRAUD.

If assessment life insurance associa-
tions in Minnesota propose, as they III
dicated yesterday, to make fight upon
Insurance Commissioner SHANDREw
because he has sought to protect the in
terests of the people and to have legiti-
mate life insurance done, the GLOBE, as
the champion of the peoples rights,
will stand by him. Fraudulent assess
ment insurance in Minnesota has grown
to such proportions that it is time the
public be given the benefit of an in
vestigation.
The general public of Minnesota pays
annually s5,OOO,OOO for life and fire in
surance. The GLOBE has the best evil
dence in the world that quite proper
ton of this is secured through misrep-
reSentation, and what, in the eyes of
