An Act Which Secured Conductors Pro.
motion Instead of Discharge.
Not long ago freight conductor on a
Maine road won promotion from an act
that he supposed would give him the
grand bounce.
One day his freight train bound west
was side-tracl1ed, awaiting the arrival
of the express approaching from the
west. The freight train was so LONG
that several of the rear cars could not
be crowded upon the siding, but extend
ed for a short distance along the main
line.
Now, rules prescribed that brake
man with a flag should guard the rear
of the train, but as no tr5S.n was expect,
ed from the east these precautions were
disregarded, and flags were DISPLAYED
only for the benefit of the express. The
conductor satin his perch i'll the caboose,
ana below buzzed the passengers, two
elderly ladies, and an old gentleman,
infirm and palsied. All at once there
was a rattle and roar, and around a
curve from the east dashed an engine
drawing work train. Nothing could
avert collision between the incoming
locomotive and the rear of the freight.
For about minute our friend. the con-
ductor, did pile of thinking, coupled
with wondrous alacrity. Like flash
he was down into the car and was dash
ing for the door, dragging an astounded
elderly lady under each arm. The old
man, responding to the trainman's fran
III :. ILL IL
in6smities would allow. When the in
evitable crash came, the putting quartet
were at safe distance from the wrecked
cahoose.
Of course, the unhappy conductor inn
mediately received notice of suspension
and this notice WAS duly followed by a
summons to the managers office. That
official, after sternly regarding the hui
inflated employee, proceeded to deliver
what the conductor supposed would be
sentence of immediate dismissal, Joined
with some scathing remark.
But this is what the manager said:
'Mr. -, you deserve discharge for
neglect of duty. You should take moth
ing for granted in railroad matters. and
your neglect to display signals is mex
cusa Bile. However, your quick wit and
promptness of action has saved to the
company thousands Of dollars that 9TH
erwise must have been paid to those
three passengers or their heirs. You
are young man, have heretofore been
faithful and | think this one lesson will
prove amply sufficient to insure faith
fulness in the future. We have decided
to promote you for your service to the
company, and you will hereafter serve
as conductor on the passenger train on
- branch. Chicago News.

COngratuIating Caswell.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., FEB. 25.-Mr.
Caswell received kilograms all day to-
day congratulating him on his tire
mendous victory in passing the Direct
Tax bill. No similar one man tri-
umph has occurred in this congress.
Long ago the bill would havegone by
the board but for Mr.. Caswell's per-
sistence. Alone, he pursued the Com
mittee on Rules until they were forced
to give him a day, and with over one
half the members of the bousepledged
in black and white to support the
bill the Wisconsin member finally won
the day. The bill refunds SIT, OOO,-
900 to the states that paid it during
the war. The seeding states paid all
but about $2,5OO,OOO, which still
stands against them. Wisconsin's
share, exclusive of the Is per cent.
allowed for collection, is $446, 535,
and that amount will be turned over
in trust to Gov. Peck. The Northern
states took their shares out of their
treasures, issuing state bonds for the
amount. In the South the tax was
collected in part from individuals by
the United States Mr.. Caswell's bill
provides that the money shall be col
lected in part from individuals, and
the legislatures of the states shall
ratify and accept that trust, and
that it shall be in full of all claims
that can be made against the United
States. The individuals must then
make their claims against their own
states.
Mr. CaswelI is we'll deserving of all
the complimentary words being said
of him for his success in procuring the
passage of the Direct Tax bill-the
same having passed the senate since
the date of the above dispatch and
been signed by the president. Under
it's provisions, Wisconsin is entitled
to receive from the general govern
ment over $443,OOO
Mr. Caswell retires from congress
full of honors. He has been a hard
working, faithful member, of whom
his constituents may we'll feel proud.
We believe it will not be long before
he will again be called into the public
service.

THE replies of nearly 100, 0O0farm
ars in all sections OF the country to
certain questions asked by an agricul-
Eural journal published at Chicago,
are interesting and significant. The
first question was: "Will the McKin-
ley law help the American farmers as
a whole?" To this 57,258 (mostly
Northern farmers) reply eyes," and
1871 (mostly Southern farmers)
reply ''no." Thesecond question was
.''Willreciprocity with South America
benefit our farmers?' To this 68,4O5
say Eyes" and only 22,743 say "no. J"
THE third question was: Will Cana
dian reciprocity benefit our farmers?
TO which 6O,237 (mostly Northern
farmers) say "no," and 80, 9O2 (most-
3y Southern farmers) say Eyes" 1t
appears that a large majority of the
farmers, both North and South, and
IN spite of the Alliance, are in favor
of the protection system.

Already they had put a snaffie in the
mouth of the landlords. Bye and bye,

A RAsCALLY but characteristic Dem
Ocratic trick was perpetrated in the
Michigan legislature. Ten senator's
were absent, attending the Repub-

The Democrats, taking advantage Of
75his fact, proceeded to unseat Morse
sand Horton, Republicans, by astrict
party vote, and declared Friedlander
and Morrow, the contestants, entitled
80 the seats. This gives the Demo-
Gratis in the Michigan Senate an as

1ican State Convention had some
satisfaction While the Democrats
were stealing Republican seats in the
Senate, the Republicans were stealing

Senator Stewart on Sherman's Silver
SnPPch

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Sept. l.-SHnator
Stewart of Nevada mas returned here from
Mexico. In regard 10 Senator John Sher-
mans recent silver speech he said: ''Sher-
man misrepreSents the miners, if he is cor
rectly reported. 1t is not true that they
ever asked for or received more than the
market value for their bullion under the
Bland act, which was in force from 1879 10
1890. The government bought silver at its
market price, coined it, issued certificates
thereon at its coin value, and made no pro-
hi.
According TO the statement Of the direc-
tor OF the mint, of 10.000,00 ounces under
the act of 1880, which repealed the Bland
act, the government receives 1900 900
ounces of silver bullion per month, and
issues therefor legal tender treasury notes
for its market value. No money raised Try
taxation is used IN the purchase of silver,
but legal tender treasury notes are ISSUED
by the government in exchange for bulioI
for its market value in gold-nothing more
nothing less. The position of Sherman IL
limiting coinage and making silver dollar
worth as much as i gold dollar by the
promise of redemption IN gold IS absurd,
Under such an arrangement silver is mere
Why go to the expense of mining Shvel
when paper viii answer the same purpose
Before silver was demonetizd both gold and
silver were money of ultimate redemption
Since silver was demOuetized there h9
been no material increase in the gold cox
