and generally on the side of right, l
write you to get your opinion, and also
to see if we cannot get the EAGLES as
sistance in our effort to improve the tel
egraphic service on the railroads. As it
now is, any one with smattering
knowledge of telegraphy, if they can
only report train, can get job. This
is clearly wrong and is an injustice to
the travelling public who risk their lives
TO the railroads. and they (the railroads.
should have the very best of telegraph c

men and the travelling public. We have
an order-"The Order Railroad Telegra-
phers" is organizing all
telegraphers, both railroad and Western
Union operators, into a brotherhood
and their main object is to have a COM
mission appointed in each state to examine
all operators and give certificates TO
operators who are capable land who are

has been only a few days since the
whole country was startled by loss of
life on an eastern road by a young opera
tor throwing the switch wrong and run
ming two trains together. Now, why
do companies hire such persons and
place them in important positions: Sim
ply to reduce expenses. \ strike of a
few months ago in Illinois and Indiana,
on the Mackey system, revealed
the fact that the company
were hiring operators and sta
ton agents at from $500 10 $4,000
per month. Believing that the EAGLE
can help us in this and also hoping that
we may be able TO accomplish something
in having better Geographic service on
the railroads in the near future, and thus
prevent the loss of life that every year
occurs from incompetency of operators is
our main object. While / am not au-
thorized by the o. r T. or anyone %
write this, do it simply TO see if we can
not get the press of the country inter
ested in our cause. This is something that
the public should take deep interest in,
and our legislators should look into this
and do whatever Is best for the interest
of all.

THE SILK IN TIE COCOON.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle
All the natural products of America
come from the earth, the most import
ant of which are food and raiment, The
food products are principally grain, meat
and vegetables; for clothing are cotton,
wool and silk. These raw products are
produced by farmers. To prepare them
for food and clothing, they are manufac-
tured at the mills, giving employment to
many of our people. increasing the de-
mand for raw products to the mutual
benefit of all America. This is indie
pendence.

Queer by the government it would
be an unjust burden on the man

tariff be given to the manufacturers
it would be tax on the producer
This is the condition of the silk industry
in America, and in great measure that
of the WOODEN industry also. 1t is not
right to protect an industry that sends
abroad for its raw product. The silk
mills of America are a burden to her
people when we pay out over ST ,000,-
600 according to the Mckinley bill for
protection and S24 ,000, 900 for raw and
reeled silk. This is not American indie
pendence, which consists in growing and
manufacturing what we eat and wear in
America. The only way out of the
dilemma is to give the silk growers and
wool producers a bounty, or repeal the
Mckinley tariff bill
1t is cartain that Kansas can produce
the wool and silk needed if only the
proper encouragement is given. was
in conversation with John Chinaman
the other day and he said this is a heap

came perfectly delighted with the idea.
As near as l could interpret what lac
said was that "a million Chinese come
