RIDICULOUS.

A New York grand jury has indicted the
twelve directors of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railway company for
misdemeanor, the offense consisting of the
fatal collision in the Fourth avenue tunnel
last month. We cannot but look upon this
proceeding as vindictive and more or less
vicious. The jurors are not actuated by a
desire to bring punishment to the guilty,
but are swayed by an unreasonable popular
clamor. There is not member of the jury
who believes that any one of the directors
is either directly or Indirectly responsible
for the collision; every juror knows that
the directors took ordinary precautions
against accidents, and every Juror knows
that it was out of the power of the
directors to have prevented that col
lision. An employee, presumed to be care
full ond trustworthy, possibly one who had
proven his reliability by long service for
the company, failed to turn a switch or to
otherwise perform his duty, and the result
was the disaster by which human lives
were lost. To make the directors respon-
sible for the act and to punish them for a
crime, it seems to US is equivalent to say
ing the farmer should be sent to prison
when his hired man offends against the
law. If one were to ask the jurors who
have found this indictment what the di-
rectors should have done to prevent the
collision, what would they answer? To
be consistent with their presentment they
would have to say that the directors should
have acted as switchmen and brakemen on
that particular occasion, and not. have
trusted to employees who had always be-
fore been faithful.
Popular clamor, frequently unreason-
able and seldom absolutely reliable as
guide, often makes the administration of
the laws ridiculous, and this is especially
the case when railway officials and the
managers of rich monopolies are involved.

FOOLISH WOMEN.
Why Will They Be So Thoughtless and Careless
Even About Matters Which Con-
Germ Their RaautY2

The plainest features become pretty when
clothed with fresh velvety skin. 1t is in the
power of every woman to have a soft, fine skin
thus adding much to her charms, if she will
devote little time and care to her toilet. II
should be duty as well as pleasure to every
woman to enhance her powers of attractiyeness.
So says the highest authority in London.
But nothing can be more absurd than for any
lady TO try 30 be beautiful simply by powdering
the face or by applying cream or ointment.
These things are necessary, it is true; but
something else is more important. Good, re-
freshing sleep. Warm. circulating blood which
never permits cold feet or blue noses These
things make beauty quicker than any powders
or lotions can. But, my lady reader says, how
can this be done? Keep the blood moving by
some gentle stimulant and for this purpose
nothing is equal to pure whisky Not the
whisky one commonly hears of; not the cues
tionaDle kind that is drank by gross men in
grosser places, but something pure palatable
and pleasing. This is precisely what Duffy's
Pure Malt Whisky is and what has made it so
UNNECESSARILY popular. The best doctors in the
land prescribe 1t. The finest scientists endorse
it. In it all those qualities are found which
make it great friend TO women 1t relieves
the sufferings to which they are SO subjected
and counteracts the wearing effects which so
often cause women to grow old prematurely.
Duffy IS Pure Malt Whisky will, taken with a
little water, tone up the system and replace
languor and weakness with brightness and
vigor. 1t is being used by the leading ladies of
the land. But be sure to secure the genuine
and take only Duffy's.

THE BABY ECONOMIST.

The weakest feature about our contempor-
ary's articles is the utter failure to comprehend
the difference between producing something
which becomes at once a measure OF values
and something else which has to be measured
by that measure. For instance, dollar is a
dollar. So a dozen eggs are dozen eggs, but
the dozen eggs bring three times the amount
to-day that they did fifteen years ago. simply
because the dollar by which they are measured
has been multiplied SO much that the ratio be-
tween the commodity and the dollar has
changed. This it seems utterly impossible for
our contemporary to understand, and SO every
day il insults the miners of this territory by as
suring them that their work amounts to no
more per capita than does the work of the shep-
herder on the hills, OF the man that raises the
vegetables that he lives on in some far-off
mountain caiion of this territory Tribune
As to the talk that goods bring three
times as much in dollars as they did before
the mines of Utah were opened, every old
resident can remember that -four was SIG a
hundred weight hay $40 ton, tea So a

DA MONK Is MAD,

If the King of Italy were one of his own
organ-grinders and had taken counsel with
his monkey he could not have done more
foolish thing than he has done in breaking
of friendly relations with the United
States. A child, who knew nothing of
craftsmanship and had never heard of such
a thing as courtesy between nations, would
have been regarded as half-witted had he
advised such course at this time There
is nothing in the New Orleans affair to call
for this action. There would be nothing in
that affair demanding the present course if
the prisoners who were lynched were sub
jects of HUMBERT, unless this government
had positively refused to investigate and
had said to Italy that it was none of her
business what the citizens of New
Orleans did. The King must
be next to an idiot and his
ministers veritable babies in state
craft. With such masters is it to be won
dered at that so many of the subjects are
the associates of monkeys, that they are
the ignorant, despicable wretches that we
find in the ilthiest quarters of our great
citiess
Italy's action is ridiculous and farcical
from every point of consideration. 1t is
known that nine of the twelve scoundrels
who were shot down in the New Orlean.
prison were citizens OF the United States,
They had forsworn allegiance to the King
Of Italy and taken an oath of fidelity to the
constitution and laws of the republic 1t is
something for Americans to be ashamed OF
that this is So because it is confession
that we do not place high value on Amer
lean citizenship when we confer it upon
such cattle as these. However, as to those
nine periured murderous rascals Italy has
no more to say than as to so many Texas
horse thieves who may have been strung up
by vigilantes. Italy had the same right to
demand PREPARATION" for the Chinese who
were shot down and plundered out here at
Rock Springs few years ago, that she has
to present the demand for nine of the
dozen toughs who made New Or
leans holiday the other day. AS to the
other three it has not yet been ascertained
that they were not American citizens. The
probabilities are that they also had sworn
allegiance to the constitution, knowing..that
thereby their opportunities for evil would
be improved. In was ridiculous for Italy
to take decisive action until she had learned
whether or not her subjects were in any
manner affected by what transpired in New

IT is prabable that the Mexicans did not
desire evidence of the fact that citizenship
in their republic is not particularly desira-
Die to those who have been subjects or citi-
sens elsewhere, but if such evidence were
wanted it has been supplied in abundance
by the investigation just completed to as
certain the number OF foreigners who have
been nsturalized since 1928. 1t was found
that in these sixty three years only 2,044
persons had concluded to cast their lot
with the Mexicans as citizens, and more
than half these were Spaniards. 1t is wor-
thy of note that of the total number but
146 were Americans.
