The effort which humane friends
of the railroad employees are making
just now to procure the substitution
of automatic devices for the awkard
mandrake and link.and-pin COUP
ling on cars deserves universal popu-
lar support. The full meaning of the
movement is not realized till We con.
slider such statements as ale made
by ex.Railroad Commissioner Coffin
OF Iowa, showing that in his state
alone 352 men we're killed and injur.
ed last year through the use of the
old.fashioned apparatus. In period
of ten years there we're 2,426 such
casualties, an average of nearly 243
in year; and the rate, of course, is
continually on the increase, proper
toned to the growth ofrailway traffic.
Taking the mileage of Iowa as a
standard and preserving the same
ratio of accidents, it is estimated
that there must be not less than
5000 men killed or MANNED every
year by the obstinacy of their EN-.
ployers in resisting the march of
progress in their branch of industry.
That means nearly twenty victims
every day. 1t is a shameful showing,
and public opinion ought to make
itself felt in behalf of a multitude of
hard and faithful workers, who are
nearly p0werless to make their own
voices heard.

For a week past there have been
reports in the papers of riots on Ma
vassa Island, and 1t Is certain now
that four officers were killed and
several injured, all from Baltimore.
The Island of Navassa is in the
Caribbean Sea, forty miles west of
Hayti. 1t is barren of any natural
product, and is nothing more than a
guano and phosphate bed, owned by
Baltimore Phosphate Company,
and with no population but the few
hundred colored laboTers from Bal
timore, commanded by few white
officers of the company. Several
years ago the papers contained re-
ports of the hardshipS and cruelties
the colorcd guano diggers endure.
They are but prisoners after they
get on Il guano island. The Balti-
more Company flies the American
flag but praises the English vessels
for services rendered. We think
these so-claimed riots Shonld be in
vestigated by "A government vessel,
and both sides be given a chance to
report. Between the cruelties prac.
tIced by oyster boat captains on
Kidnapped crews, and those of guano
company captains, there is not much
difference, except that one is farther
out of the reach Of any law (but its
own than the other.

Great efforts are being made
bS rival cities to secure the Ameri-
can Exposition OF 1892. New York,
Chicago, st. Louis, and other places,
are offering their millions. New
York wants everything but tails to
raise the money necessary to carry
out it's promises. The obelisk hung
fire until some enterprising newspa-
pers helped it along. The Grant Mon
ument Fund is slow accommodating.
Better give the Exposition to some
booming western town; or if located
in the East. Washington or Balti-
more are good places. New York
can wait for 1892, and grow in enter
prise in the interval.

RAILROAD PETS TO BLAME.

Last week, Tuesday, the people OF
Chicago had a startling illustration
of the results which may follow when
the management of a locomotive en-.
CINE is entrusted to man who per-
mits his brain to become muddled by
liquor. A switched off passenger
car was waiting on the rail of the
Rock Island Railroad to be attached
to an engine when freight train,
the locomotive of which was driven
by an engineer who, it is now known,
was dazed by liquor, came thunder.
ing down the track in disregard of
the signals displayed. When it came
to standstill the passenger car was
a wreck, five of its passengers were
dead, one was dying and twelve were
wounded and the guilty engineer
was fleeing from a mob that threat
ened to lynch him.
Another surprising revelation
made is the fact that the Rock Island
Railroad permits the re employment
of an engineer of proved incompe-
tency. Three times the engineer of
this fatal freight train had been dis
charged for drunkenness and three
times he had been reinstated. He
had the reputation of being a i" wild
runnerD between stations and of
having liking for taking risks"
And yet, with these facts we'll known,
it was asserted at the investigation
that the engineer had been reinsta-
ted the third time on the recommen-
dation of high official of the Rock
Island Road. If this statement is
proved to be true it should be a
question with the jury whether this
official ought not to be made respon.
sible with the engineer for the kill
ing and woundlng of eighteen peo-
Pile. This official who knowingly
gives an employee the opportunity
to do harm is a partner in the crime
which results.
The drunken man was the sou of
the Master Mechanic, and it was
through such inside influence that
he was re-instated. Railroads gen.
orally have too many pets and petty
bosses for the public good.
