THE SLAUGHTER OF BRAKEMEN,

The columns of THE DISPATCH are con-
stantly furnishing proof of the perils that
surround the railroad brakeman in his labor.
AT yesterdays session of the conference of
the Railroad Commissioners of the several
States with the members of the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners, ex-Railroad Com
missioner Coffin, of Iowa, presented some
statistics on this subject which possess ter
rible significance. According to Mr.. Coffin
no less than 2, ,424 men have been killed or
MANNED BY the pin and link couplers and
the mandrake in the single State of Iowa
during the last ten years. Last year there
were killed and wounded by these two
causes alone in Iowa 349 men. During the
same II months over 5000 men were either
killed or MANNED for life in the United
States in the operation of coupling cars or
working hand brakes.
Other statistics were produced by Mr..
Coffin to show that in the last 80 years more
men were killed or injured seriously by the
causes we have spoken of than in all the
great railroad accidents during the same
period. No wonder Mr.. Coffin, as the
representative of the Brotherhood of Brake
men, begged the Interstate Commerce
Commissioners to use their influence in OBJ
tanning the passage ofan act by Congress COM
pelling the railroads to adopt safety appli-
ances for the coupling and governing of
cars. The matter deserves the attention
and action of Congress at the earliest pos
sible opportunity.
The principal obstacle to the adoption of
the improvements which would remove the
gravest dangers the freight brakeman is ex-
posed to, would seem to be the expense in
volved. 1t is generally understood that
several practicable substitutes for this
deadly pin and link coupler have been in
vented, and if we are correctly informed,
one or more of these is now in partial use.
The alrbrake has also, to some extent, taken
the place of the mandrake on freight
trains, as it has for a long time done in the
passenger service. Doubtless the outlay for
these Improvements would be large at first,
but since it is question of whether lite and
limb or dollars and cents shall be sacrificed,
there can be no doubt about what should be
done. Common humanity demands that
the slaughter of human beings should be
stopped,

more than 60 years ago. Though he volun-
tarily stepped out of politics in 1877, when
he resigned his seat in the United States
Senate, to be succeeded in that Office by his
son, he has not dropped out OF public view
nor lost his influence as many men have
done on reaching old age. He has kept
abreast of the times, and though he is con-
tent to leave younger men to manage the
affairs of state and of his party, even the
most expert politicians still seek his coun-
sci, which they find sensible and sound.
Excepting Hannibal Hamlin, who began
his political career later than Cameron, he
remains to-day almost the sole survivor of
that generation of statesmen to which Web
ster, Calhoun and Clay belonged, as well as
others whose names were known throughout
the union half a century ago. Simon Cam
eron began making history when a young
man. In 1876 he was a poor boy, and
printers apprentice. From this humble
beginning he advanced by successive steps
to the positions of editor, public printer,
bank cashier railroad protector, United
States Senator, Lincoln's War Secretary,
Minister to Russia and again United States
Senator. Such are few points in the his
tory of this remarkable man, who has helped
to make and unmake Presidents, Cabinets,
Governors and Senators, and whose infu-
ence is still potent when he chooses to ex-
ercise it.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH
PITTsBURG, FRIDAY, MAR. s, 1889.
ARRANGING THE LOTTERY BAG.

A season of tribulation has now fairly
opened for the Cabinet officers, for Senators
and Representatives, for the President-for
every one in short who is to have hand in
serving out the patronage. Petitions which
were carried for months in the pocket, un-
til the right names could be written in the
address, are now pouring into Washington
from all quarters. As no new miracle of
loaves and fishes can be looked for, it is
easy to estimate not only the intense disap-
pointment that is sure to befal many appli-
cants, but the unpleasant sensation which
the secretaries must experience in sending
the majority away unsatisfed.
President Harrison announced in his in
augural what was, doubtless, the best ar
rangement possible under the circumstances.
Laving down the two general rules that, on
the one hand, past partisan service would
not be permitted to disqualify man for
Office, and, on the other, that no partisan
consideration would be allowed to upset the
Civil Service laws, he remanded the whole
business of making selections to his Seere-
taries, acting with the advice OF Senators
and Representatives. Virtually it is the
programme, as to mere local offices, to let
the Congressman name their men. Only in
case of non-agreement among the Congress
men, or of manifestly improper recon-
meniatIons, will the heads of departments
be likely to interfere.
There have been occasions when Senators
and Representatives stood out ostentatiously
and stubbornlv for this function of handing
around the patronage of their several dis
tricts, as though it were a matter of right.
That it ever could have been a pleasure is
incomprehensible, when the list of prizes is
remembered as being so brief and meager
compared with the showing of outstretched
hands. Now that the President formally
extends the privilege and at the same time
enjoins on the conscience of Congressman
their duty of fidelity and intelligence in
making their choice, it is to be doubted if
most of them do not consider the task as an
irksome one of which they would only too
gladly be rid.
For those who draw blanks from the
Washington lottery bag there yet remains
the consolation that the country is growing;
that all sorts of useful industry are in de-
mand; and, finally, that one-halt the
earnestness, determination and activity that
are generally essential to get or to keep a
Government Office are almost sure to win
success and prosperity, if applied to any
legitimate private business.
