DEADLY CAR COUPLINGS.

Within the last week half a dozen
brakemen working in the st. Paul and
Minneapolis railroad yards have been
seriously injured while coupling cars.
At least three of them were so badly
MANNED that amputation was found nee
esSary. In addition to these accidents,
there were doubtless others which did
not come to public notice, for hardly
day passes but brakeman is injured in
the same way on some Northwestern
railroad.
1t is probable that if the aggregate of
similar injuries throughout the entire
country could be obtained it would be
found to reach into the thousands. This
is, OF course. a state of affairs deplora-
BILE in the extreme. The majority Of
people, if they have given it any
thought at all, fancy it cannot be rene
died. But it can.
The number of automatic car eouplerS
invented reaches into the hundreds.
Most of them are worthless, but several
of them are entirely practicable. So re-
Gently as the meeting of the master me-
chanics in Minneapolis last fall several
car-conplers were inspected and passed
upon fayorably by men who certainly
ought to have known what they were
talking about.
Notwithstanding this fact, not rail-
road in the country has adopted any one
of the automatic couplers recommended.
Why? Simply because it would cost a
great deal of money to attach the coup
lers to the thousands of freight cars: and
human life is, unfortunately, cheaper
than the machinery for its preservation.
The struggle for existence is so fierce
that work must be accepted even if it is
attended with danger to life and limb.
But the railroads should be reused by
law cut of this reckless disregard of the
safety of their employees.
Just as in the case of the substitution
of steam heaters for the deadly car stove,
the automatic coupler should be forced
upon the railroads, or they should be
compelled to show satisfactory cause
why it shouldn't. In the meanwhile the
murder goes on.

A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
A. L.. Mohler is Exalted to the.
Position OF General Superin-
tendent of the Manitoba.

Ever since j. NJ. Egan resigned his
position as general superintendent of
the Manitoba to take the position Of
general manager of the st. Paul Il Kan
sas City road, the public has been on
tip-toe to find out who was to fill the
vacancy in the Manitoba caused by his
resignation. Some time ago the latter
road was run for a long time without q
general superintendent. When Mr..
Egan resigned the report was circulated
that there was no special necessity for
such an Office on that road, and that it
would be quite long time before one
would be appointed. Many believed this
report and consequently were much sur
prised to learn yesterday that A. l..
Mohler had been appointed general SUI
inpertendent, the appointment to take
effect yesterday. Mr.. MOhler has for many
years been general freight agent of the
Manitoba, which position he has filed
with great ability, and i'll a manner
which secured for him the entire conf
dence of his superiors. OF course, the
duties of the new position are quite diff
ferent in their nature from those Mr.
MOhler has been diScharging, but it is
believed by those who know Mr.. MOher
that, with his good sense and judgment,
together with his railroad experience
and general aptitude for the business,
he will perform the duties of general
superintendent with just as much iudg-
ment and success as he has those of gen
eral freight agent. No person has set
been named as Mr. Mothers successor,
but the duties of the position will he
discharged temporarily by Chief Clerk

PEN1NsULAR PREDICTIONS.

Ex-Mayor Chamberlain, of De-
troit, Visits ST. Paul and Is
Agreeably Surprised-Politics in
Michigan.
Hon. Marvin III. Chamberlain, eX
mayor of Detroit, Mich, and d. d.
Thorp, of Hawley & Co., wholesale con-
fectioners in the City of the Straits, were
in St. Paul yesterday, guests of Fred W.
Foster, and left last evening for Helena,
Mont.
Ex-Mayor Chamberlain is one of the
most prominent Democrats in Michi-
gon. 1t was he who managed the cam
paign in which the Democracy so sue
cessfully routed the combined forces
that ehampioned the measure which, if
carried, would have put Michigan in
the list of prohibition states. He is the
trusted lieutenant of Postmaster Gen-
eral Dickinson, and will either succeed
that gentleman as the Wolverine MEM
Der of the national committee or step
into the shoes of j. M. Weston,
chairman of the Democratic state
central committee. To reporter for
am most agreeably surprised in st. Paul,
enterprising city in the West. Its peo-
pie seem to have that push and energy
needed to bring the city into the front
rank of manufacturing centerS, and also
sufficient conservatism to prevent them
biting off more than they can chew.
Realty is as high, if not higher here,
than in Detroit, and taxes are low, COM
pared with cities which years ago made
all the improvements now in progress
here. In Detroit property is assessed
as near its market value as is possible,
while in other parts of the state the as
sessmentS do not represent anything
near what the property will bring"
Questioned as to the political outlook
in Michigan, Mr.. Chamberlain said:
1.-The Democracy is solid for Cleveland,
and fair-minded Republicans are willing
to concede that Michigan will this year
be one of the most doubtful of states.
The recent election in the Eleventh dis
trict, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Congressman MOffatt, aston
ished the Republican maehine,the
Michigan club. COngressman-elect
known Republicans in the state, got
there by a bare 500. This, more than
anything else, opened the eyes of Re-
publicans to the fact that the day when,
as Conkling once said, any one can
carry Michigan is past, and that moth
ing short of miracle can save the party
from defeat next November. Democrats
are going into the fight to win, and there
seems to be no good reason why the
electoral vote of Michigan should not
this time be cast for Cleveland"
As to state politics Mr.. Chamberlain
was quite reticent, and would not ven
Gratis would nominate to oppose Gov.
Luce.

WASTING THEIR SUMMERS.


A New Orleans paper complains be-
cause the merchants of that city spend
q great deal of money in summer travel,
and get nothing in return for it in the
way of increasing the trade of the city.
The explanation is very simple one.
The New Orleans merchants put in their
summer months climbing the White
mountains OF sea bathing along the
Eastern coaster drinking sulphur water
In the Virginia mountains. In short,
they spend their time and money among
people who never buy from them, nor
have they any occasion to import or eX-
port by way of New Orleans.
Now if the New Orleans merchants
want to make their summer vacation a
source of profit, let them turn the tide
of summer travel to the regions from
which they might naturally expect a
tide OF trade. New Orleans is the nat
ural port for the Mississippi valley; then
why not cultivate the region tributary
to il?
Instead of going to Bar Harbor, Long
Branch and White Sulphur Springs,
suppose the New Orleans merchants try
our Minnesota lakes for few summers.
They will find a purer atmosphere and
more healthy breezes here than among
the sand banks and mosquito hunks of
the East. Then, as they come and go,
they can drop in on St. Paul and Mime
apolis business men and talk up trade.
They can stop over few days at
Omaha. Kansas City, st. Louis,
Des Moincs and other cities on the
route, ana discuss the advantages of
New Orleans as shipping port. Nat
ure has done good deal for New Or.

thoroughly while here | am confident.

Yours, P" 1t was all clear enough
now, thought the secretary, after read

dOubtedly, his phantasm-itself an es-
Sential portion of his own spiritual
entity-had been led into abominable
indiscretions in London by the ungodly
young person to whose care it was so
incautiOusly confided. The active SYM
patty which necessarily exists between
the astral body and the physical-eyen
though thousands of leagues divide the
twO-caused the latter to experience the
ills naturally consequent upon the mis-
behavior of the former. And, when the
perverted spectrum returned, it was
able so far to upset the moral balance
OF its owner as to render him prey to
temptations which, under ordinary cir
cumstances, would have possessed no
