DISCUSSING RAiLRoApAFFAIRs.
Convention Of Railroad Commits
sioners Of the Various States.

A national convention Of railroad
commissioners met in Washington, ID.
e., on the 28th ult. The subjects
which it was called TO consider relate
TO railroad legislation, uniformity in
railway accounting, railway ConstruC'
ton, etc. Judge Cooley, chairman Oi
the interstate commerce commission,
called the convention to order and
made q briet opening address. Jude
Cooley was elected chairman and f.
A. MossIy secretary. The report Of
the committee on legislation, ap-
pomted at the last convention,
was then read. The report states
tnat there were two causes for the
lack OF unitm InlLy IN railway
legislation in this country; the first
cause was the want Of harmony be.
tween the legislation OF congress and
that Of the state legislatures; and the
second cause was the want OF har.
mony in the legislation OF the different
states. The report recommended
that the main features OF the inter
state commerce law be made n part
Of the laws OF the different states. 1t
was also urged that laws be enacted
by congress securing uniformity in the
various details Of railroad equipment
and management, with view to the
greater safety and comfort OF en-
ployes and the public. The recon-
mendatiOns OF the report were Older
ed to be printed. The first days seq
sion was consumed in discussing
A SERIES OF Resolutions
embodying the views expressed in
this report. During the session a
statement complied by the statisti
clan OF the interstate commerce COM
mission was submitted to the conven-
ton, showing the number OF persons
killed and injured in railway accidents
in the United States during the year
ended June, 30, 1889. This state.
meut shows that during that time 3,
S23 persons were killed and 26,3O9
injured. OF the number killed, 1922
were employees, 80 were passengers,
and 3.54l were denominated "other
persons" OF the injured. 2O,O2S
were employees, JAG were passengers
and Abs were other persons. The
statement further says:
The railways Of the United States
carried 472,l7l,343 passengers dur
ing the year, covered by this state.
ment, from which it appears that one
passenger in every ,523, 1873 WAS kill.
ed and one passenger in every 22O, 2O4
was injured. For the year 1888, the
ratio OF casualty in England to pas.
sengers from railroad accidents was
one passenger in 6,952, 1876 killed and
one passenger in 527, ,577 injured. In
Judging OF the above figures, it would
be noted that passenger mileage ior a
given number OF tickets sold is much
greater in the Unite1 States than in
England, fact which mitigates some
what the severity of Judgment upon
railway management IN the United
States disclosed in the above com
parlsOn.
The number of railway employees in
the United States il given as 7O4, 1876.

Contracts Awarded for the Beet
Supp'y on the Various ReserVa-
tions.
The government is lust now letting
its contracts Tor supplies for Indians
on the reservations for the Comirg
year. 1t is big job, involving the
expenditure OF many millions OF dol
lars. Large sums are, OF course, to he
expended at the Indian schools OF the
various places throughout the East,
aud IN some instances the material
purchased is in open market, hut the
greater proportion OF the cash goes
for supplies, rations, agricultural I'M
pements, blankets and the like for the
reservations. After two or three days
devoted to the examination OF this
the contracts have been awarded Tor
the beef, which under the law and
treaties is to be divided among
the Indians the coming year. The
total gross quantity purchased Is b.
sos 900 pounds, at an aggregate cost
Of SSSS,63l, or at the rate OF
$2.57 q per 100 on the hOOt. Tins
is an increase over the average price
Of last year by o l.3 per cent. The
increase is due, not to the high price
In the market for bee! on the hoof,
but to additional conditions imposed
on purchasers by the government IN
an effort to protect the Indian from
getting swindled out ot part OF his
treaty rights. Five million six hun

When men instead of shaking hands,

You're bound to find in course Of time
Some way to get around 1t!
And when the mother OF your wife,
According to the fashion,
Insists of living OF your home,
Don't fly up in a passion,
But when your temper starts to arise
Just push it down and groundit

And you'll discover, if you try,
