In nearly all railroad accidents the
common passenger cars are crushed, with
great fatality to life, while sleeping and
parlor cars of heavier construction
usually escape with slight injury. 1t il
in these last that officers of the road are
generally found. Probably the extra
weight of the sleeping and parlor cars
helps to crush in others, but it does seem
to the american Culti0ator as if common
cars should be strengthened as far as pos.
sible. IL railroad officials were Obliged
TO ride on the class Of cars they furnish
for common people, fewer accidents
would occur. A less harsh remedy would
'bc to assess extra heavy damages for loss
of life occasioucd by using cars especially
liable 20 breakage. The law limiting the
damage for killing in railroad accidents
20 $4,000 life should be repealed, or the
limit put good deal higher than it now
IS.

''In the competition of intelligence and
manual skill, says the New York Times,
''the old-fashioned farmer is beaten and
driven out of business or forced to emf
CRATE to new fields where the virgin soil
will give sufficient return TO afford sub
sistence for few years and until the
same pressure pushes him still further TO
the front. This is the explanation Of the
fact that so many men crowd to every
opening Of new lands with all their few
possessions gathered in wagon and their
stock driven in advance. II is the froth
carried on the crest of an cvcr-advancinp
wave, which does not move the more
solid material over which it passes. This
remains behind firmly fixed, and clcansed
and purified, and strengthened by the
pressure which has carried away all the
lighter material"

James d. Leary, of raft fame, is going
20 make another attempt to have a raft
towed to New York city from Nova
Scotia. Work began in the carly part
Of last winter on the ice at Georgetown,
Nova Scotia, by building cribs. The
work is being carried out with viQor at
other places, and a large number Of men
are engaged. Leary's plan differs ma
terially from that Of his former raft. This
tow viii be made up Of n number Of
cribs containing about 500 pieces Of
piling each. Each crib has strong
chain laid longthwise in the cen re Of tho
timbers, the whole being firmly secured
on the outside by binders Of heavy wire
rigging. When these are completed. a
number Of these cribs sufficient to make
mp the tow will be coupled together,
much as railroad train is. It is ex-
pected that tho first raft will be ready
very shortly, when It will be towed TO
New York city by tug or two.

Speed Of Animals.

In respect to the comparative speed OF
animated beings, IL may be remarked
that neither size nor comparative strength
seem 10 have much influence. The slotb

million times it's own length in less than
an hour. An elk can run q mile in seven
minutes; an antelope can run q mile i'm "a

speed even greater than that; and an
eagle can fy ffty-four miles in an hour
while canary falcon can even reach
seven hundred and fifty miles in the
short space Of sixteen hours.

Clean Of all care and regret

Fancy lies folded TO rest.
This is the margin of sleep;
Here let the anchor be cast,
Here in forgetfulness deep
Now that the Journey Is past
Lower the sails from the ma

ELECTRIC POWER.

We predict that within three years the
motive power for blowing our large
fields will be electricity. The horse for
all work and cheap WORK has had his day.
A storage battery, no larger than q grip,
sack would drive a pillow that would re-
quire six Percheron horses to pull.-Den-
yer Republican.
The above paragraph should be sug-
gestive to the power company here.
Rapid progress is being made in %electri-
cal science. Already storage has
been tested and found practicable 10
running street cars, sewing machines,
drills, lathes and other small machinery.
Here at Great Falls we have power to
charge thousands of storage batteries.
These may be shipped all over the coun,
try, the power used and the batteries re-
turned to the source of power and re-
charged. While here in Great Falls it is
reasonable that within 10 months, print
ing presses, ice cream freezers, planners
will all be run with electricity furnished
by the power company. Then the owner
OF a bicycle can fasten a little battery aka
XII to his wheel and ride all day without
any exertion. The development of this
enterprise is within the reach of Great
Falls; she has only to reach forth and
take il. Let not the capitalists of the city
be unmindful of this source of wealth.

Among the Mines,
(Special CORRESPONDENCE of the TpIBuNE.)

Especial Correspondence of the IRIBUNE.)
BARKER, July 25.-The Barker min
ing camp begins to show new life and
more energy every day. The May &
Edna mine is making extensive prepare
tons to take out ore as soon as the
Barker branch is built from Monarch.
They have their new tramway about
completed and there are shutes connect
ed by levels and wines so that they
will experience no difficulty in loading
trains when the railroad is completed to
the camp. Superintendent Maloney is
confident he can keep them supplied
with ore as soon as they are ready to
handle it. Messrs. Cashier, Allis T. Com
pany are preparing to furnish their
quota of ore whenever the railroad is
ready to take it. Hon. Will Hanks is
going to commence OPP CREATIONS on the
Carter mine, lately bonded to him by
Fred Zeigler and James Clifton. The
ore is about the same in character as the
May & Edna.
May, Oatey, Hayes, Arlington and
Collins are as busy as beavers with a
force of men developing the Richmond,
the Silver and the Louis G. mines lately
surveyed for a patent. They have struck
a fine shute of carbonate ore in the
Richmond mines. 1t is something SINH
lar in character to the famed Pride of
the West. The Black Hawk Mining
company are sinking on the Black Hawk
and Palmetto. Larkin, Goslin and Mari
have begun development work on the st.
Louis No. 2 and the Magnolia mines.
Larkin, Butler & Co. have a fine showing
of low grade ore on the ParneIl mine.
The vein is IL feet wide. Merritt, Hook
EFT & Co. are showing up some good
prospects on the dry fork of Belt. So
are Ross, Rhoda and Kineasel showing
up some fine ore body south of the
Blankenship trail. Oatey, Hayes, Hughes
and Headrick have a fine prospect IN the
Hopeful mine.
Maloney & Co. are working some nice
prospects in close proximity to the May &
Edna group. Their prospects are look
ing we'll. Zeigler and Clifton are doing
some good work on their prospects. j.
+. Williams is working a crew of men on
the T. w. and other good mining proper
ties owned by him in the camp. All
taken together Barker is showing
life. There are several good build
ings going up in the camp. Our efficient

N lew
THE MAIN ISSUE.

We differ with our esteemed contemp-
orary, the Butte Miner, when it says
that: "The silver question is the chief
issue upon which the campaign IN Mon
tana will be fought this year." The main
issue this year will be the senatorial
fraud and control of the state senate. So
long as the usurpers sit in the United
States senate and claim TO represent Mon
tana, so long must the people of this
state denounce that act Of fraud, clearly
and emphatically. The people must do
80 by electing a democratic congressman
who will make known on every proper
occasion that Montana %repudiates Sanders
and Power, as men who by the basest
fraud obtained admission to the senate
and persist in staying there against the
will of the people.
In electing eight senators the people
of Montana must defeat any one who,
having aided and abetted the senatorial
fraud, seeks reelection. We must elect
senators who will act in harmony with
the Butte representatives, who were
really elected. This will give Montana
an honest, lawful legislature, ard put an
end to the deadlock which caused so
much loss to the state last year. 1t will
be a blow in the face to Blake, who pros
tituted his office to serve party ends.
This fraud issue is SO prominent, so
deeply fixed in the public mind that the
democratic platform might well he limit.
ed to it. Let it be decided once for all
whether Montana endorses fraud or
springing to her feet, hurls from office
every miscreant WHO was concerned in it.
