A Plea for the Brakemen,

Can nothing be done to protect the
lives OF our brakemen on our railroad
trains? asks a writer in the Toronto
Mail. Almost every day we read of
the death of one or two of these noble
men, either coupling cars or falling
between them while jumping from
one car to another. Take the case of
poor Doyle, of London, on Saturday,
and then of Jones, of Belleville, yes
terday. And this in the age of inn
provements, can not some wise head
invent some means of better protec-
ton? Should not our railroad author
tiles offer a reward to the man who
could invent some better means OF
protection to their men? or L would
suggest that it is the duty of our
government to pass an act demand
ing better protection; or would it not
pay our Insurance companies to offer
a bonus to the man who could invent
some scheme for the better protection
of those men? have been Informed
that during the year 1888, in the
United States, over 100000 have
been paid to the widows and children
of those brakemen who have been
killed by either coupling or falling
between the cars, TO say nothing OF
the broken-hearted parents, wives
and fatherless children.

Apples Cheap

Charley Mutually says Illinois'crops
are great. Irish potatoes 10 cents a
bushel, and apples Sl.25 per 2-horse
wagon load. In Bunker Hill he saw
the negro children sitting on the
same benches in the public schools
with the white children, and it
amused him very much When he
thought of the difference in the south.
But, he says, the northern people do
not like it bit. Charley says in his
opinion a Texan can 60 anywhere and
get along,

Pleasant Railing.

The railway conductors excursion
to Rockport was pleasantly broken
in upon by a little occurrence at
Kennedy junction. Just before reach
ing the station conductor Niles, IN

engineer to stop, and when the train
came to a halt the conductor went
forward with some members of 0. r..
c. designated for that purpose, and
presented to engineer Pine and his
fireman generously filled purse.

A Subject for Thankfulness.
LONDON, September l6.-At the
opening of court at the old Bailey to-
day, the recorder, in charging the
grand jury, referred to the recent
strike in London. He said that though
a great number of men had been out
of work for weeks, and had suffered
great privations, there was not a
single case on the calendar arising
from the strike. The peaceful be-
havior of the men, he declared, was a
subject for national pride.

FIGURES do not lie but the methods
of keeping the public accounts at
Washington do not show the real
condition of the treasury. But why
are the democrats so much alarmed
about a public debt? 1t was their
own doing. If they had not attemp-
ted the dismem berment of the union
some twenty-eight years ago there
would have been no debt created by
an effort to save the union; no pen
sions save a few to Mexican war
veterans and the survivors of 1912,
and the democracy could have gone
on expanding the revenues of the
country and bringing up every year
with a deficiency as they did in the
good old times before the war. The
administration of government affairs
Economically considered has not
been brilliant page either patrioti-
calIy or financially considered and
the grace of quietness and silence
would become them far better than
so much buster aud parade of con-
Germ for the country.

THE beauty of the American Jury
system is seen at Chicago in the feeble
effort to secure jury in the Cronin
case. The only man capable of sit
ting on a jury in an important crimi-
nal case, is the inmate of deaf, dumb
and blind asylum Or a natural. born
fool. Justice may be blind, but it is
not necessary to the proper weighing
of the great question of guilt or limo
cence on the part of accused men that
the weighers should have no eyes, no
ears, no tongues, no brains, no minds,
no nothing.

MES of The Northwest.


SPOKANE FALLS, Janusry 2sth.-Further de-
tails OF the pool of the Union Pacific and Ore
gon Railroad and Navigation Companies for
control OF the Seattle and Lake Shore, under
Elijah Smith, are made public. At pres mt the
Seattle road will cross the Cascades by the Cody
Pass. Once through the mountains the road
will run north to Ship Harbor on Fidalgo Is
land. Fidalgo is one of the San Juan Islands
Just northeast of the Straits of Juan del Fuca
IL is separated fiom the main land by narrow
strait that can easily and inexpensively be
bridged. When the road has crossed the
mountains il will be about equ-Gistant from
Ship Harbor and Seattle. The valley of the
Skagit will be followed for good distance
Ship Harbor is a magnificent harbor, as good as
either that of Seattle or Tacoma, and is much
nearer to the ocean II is proposed fo- the
pooled roads to make that place the point of
departure for China and Eastern steamers from
the Sound country.
even the Northern Pacific, will probably build
to ship Ha1bor, and that there will be direct
correction with the Canadian Pacific in inn to
move the tea crop and other merchandise East
to New York and Europe. If long trip down
the sound can be avoided, and goods placed on
cars at Fidalgo. they would be able to re- ch the
Eastern market as soon as shipped FROM lower
Sound ports. There would be at least dsy
saved i'll the time between China and New
York. and for that reason this point has been
selected as having the best harbor and 10 cation
combined. The railroads have already secured
the most desirable property, but there ha- been
a great rush Of speculstors there within til past
few weeks
The final papers IN the agreement for the pool
ing OF the roads will be signed III New York
about February 5th, and Smiths assumption of
the Presidency will be announced shortly fer

from q high official OF one of The roads inter

WAS THERE DOODLE?
How the Alaskan Islands Were Allowed
To he Rnhhed of Seals

INDIANAPOLIS, January 2Sth.-The receipt here
to day of the evidence given before the Con-
gressional committee investigating the Govern
ment affairs at the Seal Islands, Alaska, ere
ated considerable comment in certain circles
that have taken a live interest in the investiga-
ton particularly the statement of Captain
Shepard, of the revenue cutter Rush.
A significant feature of his testimony is the
statement that in the season of 1888 he made no
seizures, because OF confidential instructions
from the Secretary OF the Treasuary not to in
terfere with illegal sealers. He testifies that
these marauders must have taken in 1888 be-
tween 5000 and &c, 0o0 skins.
Thomas +. Ryan, of this city, ex-Treasury
Agent of the Seal Islands, and accounted as
among the best authorities on seal fishing. in an
interview this evening said Captain Shepard's
report is positively startling. 1t shows clearly
that our possessions in the Seal Islands have been
robbed by the direct or indirect connivance OF
some one high in authority. / am thoroughly
familiar with the whole question, and do
not hesitate to charge that gigantic fraud
on the Government is being covered up.
The 26,G00 skins which Shepard swears he
knows were taken last year by pirates
sailing under the British flag would bring, at
Victoria or San Francisco, Sl5000O. For the
privilege of committing this theft unmolested.
the pirates could afford TO pay good round
sum, and am interested to learn who got the
money. / am watching to see whether the
committee dare probe this steal to the bottom
and trace the bripe money that surely passed"
Captain Shepard testified that under his in
structions from the Treasury Department he
could not seize the pirates although he found
them engaged in unlawful work.
