INCoMrETENcY. NOT I'LL LUCK

All these misiortunes which are
coming upon the Union Pacific rail
way can not be chargcable TO "bad
luck" There must be a search in
some other direction for the causes of
at least few OF the disasters which
are wreeking SO many engines. smash
ing so many cars and destroying so
many goods. 1t is said that the catas-
trophies on the line south of Ogden
within the past four months, have cost
the company more money than all the
disasters which befell that branch Of
the system during the previous twenty
years. On every division, from Omaha
to Portland, accidents are occurring
almost daily and many Of them are OF
a decidedly serious character. Hun
dreds of thousands OF dollars worth Of
property have been destroyed within
the past few months, and the lestruc-
ton continues, there being no apparent
effort on the part OF the big chlefs
OF the road to prevent il.
The people Of the west have right
to complain of the way the Union
Pacific is being operated. While they
may not be greatly interested as stock
holders they are interested as patrons
of the road, TO which they entrust their
lives and their property; and therefore
they have the right to ask, il not de
mand, that better service be given /;
that more competent men be placed in
charge OF the operating department,
and that less recklessness be displayed
in the management of the practical
workings OF the road IS. l. Herald.

A BAD BLUNDER.

Messrs O'Brien and Dillon, re-
Gently arrested in Ireland for incit-
ing tenants not TO pay rents,
failed TO appear in court when
called on a few days since, and
cablegram says they have fled the
country and probably sailed for
America, where they are coming to
solicit money for the Nationalist
cause. The same dispatch says
their bonds were forfeited, and the
money, $4,000, will be paid by the
National League. For the sake of
suffering Irishmen and their cause,
we hope the story will not be veri-
fled. If il shall prove true it will
benefit the cause Of Ireland little
for the runiways to come to this
country. America likes courage
Gus men-men who will stand by
their convictions and their utter
ances and actions. O'Brien and
Dillon in prison suffering because
of their patriotic and self sacrific-
ing efforts TO help their oppressed
countrymen would draw much
harder upon the sympathy and
purses of the American people than
they can do as fugitives who have
forfeited their bonds rather than
undergo trial for alleged offense
against the law. Besides, men
will not feel so much like giving
when they know that the money
they contribute will not go to relieve
suffering or help the Nationalist
cause. but will be covered into the
English treasury in order that two
agitators may run at large every
where on earth except on British
soil. IL O'Brien and Dillon have
actually fled they have been guilty
of a political and personal blum
der, from the effects of which the
Irish cause must suffer, while the
two men named will lose greatly in
the esteem and confidence of the
people who have sympathized with
them in the gallent fight they have
heretofore made.--S. L. Herald.

Says the Spokane Spokesman a
leading Republican paper Of eastern
Washington; ut now looks as il
the day were near at hand when
Republican blunders will put the
Democrats back into office. a Re-
publican majority in Congress has
this year voted against the free
coinage of silver, and in favor of a
tariff bill that will increase the cost
Of living without adding one iota to
the prosperity or wealth Of the
country. Here are two Republican
blunders which will certainly bear
fruit in November, and the fruit
will be ripe in 1892"

The safest and mos profitable of all

twelve great smelling companies, the
mineral pawnbrokd rs. The smelling
companies that do strictly custom

with suspicion and no assistance is

notwithstanding TIN fact that capital
