Corporations During the past year
and Their
Employees.

the interstate COM
and Their merce commission de-
voted some inquiry into
Employees. the relations of cor
porations and their en-
ployes. Though the question is not eX-
preSsly referred to the commission by
the act to regulate commerce, still the
commission thought it matter Of suf6-
cient public concern to make it the sub
Ject of official inquiry, and accordingly
addressed circular letters to officials of
eighty-five of the leading railway COM
panies, as we'll as to the heads OF the
several labor organizations, asking for
information On this subject. The prin-
cipal questions asked of railroad man
ayers were substantially the following:
Whether an insurance or guaranty
fund was provided for employees
in case of their disability by ac-
cident or illness, or to relieve
of death. Ii so, all facts relating to the
mode of accumulating such fund, its
maintenance, disbursement and condi-
tiOns were called for; also whether
eating or lodging houses have been fur
nished for trainmen when from home,
or reading rooms or other resorts:
whether the companies provide Sys-
tenn of technical training for their men;
whether regular plan of promotion
existed as an inducement to the en-
ployes to attain high degree OF pro-
ficiency, and whether special rules were
promulgated to make sure of obtaining
competent locomotive engineers and
other trainmen. All of the eighty-five
railroad managers to whom the circular
was addressed replied to the IT,
quiries, and their answers en-
body much valuable information. Of
the S. componies, IL appear to have in
stituted Insurance funds in the interest
of their men; others have hospital
funds; 5 have benefit associations
supported wholly by employees; / con-
tributes annually $500 for a like pur-
pose, and 1 contemplates starting an In
surance department at an early day.
Fifty per cent of the lines heard from
furnish eating and lodging houses to
their employees needing them. Twenty
of them provide technical education,
but in all cases where no technical
training is supplied the apprenticeship
system prevails, OF men are selected
who have proved their competency by
actual service.
Replies from the various labor organ
izations make it appear that there has
been very general adoption of some
thing in the nature of mutual insur-
ance system on the assessment plan,
whereby, in case of injury or disability
from sickness, the beneficiary draws a
stated weekly allowance; or, If death
ensues, his family is made sure Of a
sum that will suffice to remove imme-
diate want. The commission is salts
fed that the funds devoted to this pur-
pose have been well managed, and that
the insurance feature has the hearty
support of the several brotherhoods or
orders. The Brotherhood Of Railroad
Brakemen are opposed to the relief as
soeiations organized by some of the
railroad companies, as they believe
'stheir real purpose is to undermine and
ultimately destroy the brotherhood, and
place the men entirely at the mercy of
the corporations.

Bismarck's The great event OF

Pub truth one of the great
events OF the age. We
lie Career. allude to the retire
mento Bismarck from
the government of German affairs. For
nearly forty years he had been the mas
ter mind of Europe, and in all but name
the ruler of Germany. His prominence
in political matters began in 1862, when
he was made minister of foreign affairs
and of the kings house in Prussia.
Seven years later he assumed the Office
of minister of the North German con-
federation, having succeeded to that
point in the great dream OF his life-the
unification Of Germany. Two years
later, on the 18th day Of January, 1871, he
Of his vast political designs at Ver-
sailles, where. in the palace of the
French kings, he took part in the SYM
bolism which proclaimed Germany an
empire. The coronation OF William |.
as emperor Of Germany was the grand
est historic picture of modern times.
and the central figure in that picture
was the majestic form Of Bismarck, who
had wrought the crown, and with his
own hands had placed it upon the brow
Of the man whom he governed as a
father would govern his child. In that
same month of January he was ap-
pointed chancellor of the empire, the
Office he resigned the other day, after
holding it for more than nineteen
years. Bismarck was created
count in 1865. and on the f0rma-
ton Of the German empire in 1871
the title of prince was conferred upon
him. Having crowned William and de-
throned Napoleon, and atthe same time
debating the policy Of England, Russia,
and other European nations, it is no
wonder that Prince Bismarck readily
won the distinction of being the fore
most living man of the world. He was
greater than the elder Napoleon, be-
cause his methods were better. Both
were Homeric heroes, supremely en-
dowed for the accomplishment of mira
cles, but the difference between them
was that Bonaparte sought to crown
himself, while Bismarck aimed to crown
his country. Napoleon's methods had
an appropriate termination at St. Hell
lena, while those of Bismarck reached
an equally appropriate conclusion In a
united Germany. Bismarck's sudden
disappearance from the Eupropean
armament is like the unexpected extin-
guishment OF great light in the heav-
ems. But he leaves behind him the vic
tories of peace as his imperishable mon
umenU.

WASHINGTON. January 31.-The House
committee on Territories today heard ar
guments by Hon. jeremiah Wilson, of
this city, on the bill for the admission of
the Territory of Idaho as a State of the
Union. Mr.. Wilson appeared in behalf
of the Mormons, and addressed the COM
mittee in opposition to the provision in
the constitution adopted at Boise City,
last year, disinfranchising the Mormons
He contended that the only safe
ground for the committee to take
in this matter was to deal with
this, as with every case when man
commits a crime, not to inquire what he
believes or teaches, but when that be-
lief: breaks out in an act which is the
commission of crime, then punish him
by disinfranchisement after the commits
sion OF the overt act. He said he pro-
tested against depriving the % 900 Nor
mons in the Territory of their rights, ,privi-
leges and immunities asAmerican citizens
and against imposing upon them taxa
ton and compelling them to bear all the
burdens of a State government, and at
the same time refuse them those rights.
Wilson also argued that the population
of the Territory was inadequate to bear
with any degree of convenience the bur-
dens OF State government.

WASHINGTON, January 31.-The. Senate
select committee on Pacific railroads this
morning received the report of Senator
Davis upon the bill to further extend the
time for the payment OF the debt of the
Central Pacific railway. The report was
read and discussed, but no conclusion
was reached when the committee ad-
iourned to next Friday. 1t is expected
at that. meeting that the bills
with regard to both the Union and
Central Pacific roads will be finally
acted upon. The coMmittee has already
decided upon q report upon the Union
Pacific bill drafted by Senator Frye, but
it will not be given out for publication
until the Central Pacific bill is also
passed upon. The Union Pacific bill ex-
tends for fifty years the time within
which the Government debt must be
paid, and fixes the rate OF interest at 3
per cent. The Senators did not state
what time of extension or interest
will be made in the case of the Central
Pacific, but it is understood that the road
will be given about twice the time al
lowed the Union Pacific, and lower
rate of interest will be required. IN the
case of both roads the committee Will In
sist that all the property the roads have
whether covered or not by the existing
law, shall be made liable for the indebt
edness due the United States. Under
this arrangement the Government VII
secure a mortgage upon the branct
lines owned by the Union Pacific and
built without Government aid. 1T always
has been insisted upon by the railroads
that the main lines would be worthless
as money earners without these feeders
and it is asserted that these latter vii
greatly increase the Government
security.
