4 Railroad Accident.

The Albuquerque Citizen of May p, has the following account of an
 accident in the Santa Fe yards at
 that place: An accident, in which
 the tanks and trucks of engines
 were badly demolished, occurred at 3 20 o'clock this morning in the north end of the Santa Fe yards. As far as the Citizen is able to glean and it appears to be correct, the passenger train from the north had just arrived. Switch engine No. 217 passed up on track No. ? and switched on the main track to make up the passenger train for the south and west. Engine No. 705 was standing on passenger track and as soon as the switch engine went down the main track it pulled out for the switch to go on track No. 3 to be coupled on a special stock train going north. After being switched Engineer J, F. Mills, of No. 705, stopped his engine few yards on the south side of the switch fer his brakeman to line up switch on the main line. While standing the switch engine with the the passenger coaches moved up the track at good speed fairly welding it's tank and that of engine No. 705 tightly together, also damaging the the cabs and trucksot both engines. Engineer Mills, with Fireman Isaac Taylor, were on No. 705, while Engineer Nels. Nelson and Fireman Nudge, a brother of Division Superintendent Nudge had charge of switch engine. They staid on their engines till es- caping steam from several injured steam-cocks forced them to jump. In any event they had a very mar row escape from permanent injury, possibly death.

pany; still, it thinks the Territorial Board of Equalization should re- duce the assessed valuation to the figures mentioned in the petition. It believes that according to the as- sessed valuation of other property in the Territory, it would be fair and just assessment, and that the railroad company would be bearing it's just proportion of the expenses of the county and territorial gov ernment when it pays its taxes on that valuation.

Mormon Church Realty.

Washington, May 25.-When the Supreme Court last term upheld the constitutionality of the Ed munds law. by which the property ofthe late corporation oftheChurch ofJesus Christ of Latter-DaySaints, otherwise known as the Mormon Church, was escheated to the Uni ted States, it found itself in a some what embarrassing position, The doctrine of escheat was quite un- known in this country and no pur- pose considered laudable and pro per, of similar nature to that for which the property was formerly used, was known.
 The Court, therefore, instead of sending a decree down withheld it, a strong intimation being conveyed of a desire of the Court that Con- gress should, by law, direct the dis position to be made of the proper ty.
 Congress having failed to adopt the suggestion, the Court, through Justice Bradley, to- day made final order in the case and modified in some respect the decree it entered

Was It Indians.

Nat Whittum, a rancher and
 stock raiser on Blue River, who re-
 sided about forty five miles north
 east of Clifton, was murdered some time last week and it is supposed
 he was murdered by Indians. Sat
 urday evening Will Boyle and Fred Fritz were looking for cattle and on their return stopped at Whittum's ranch and saw the door of the house open and entering found the dead body of Whittum on the floor. The house had been looted-guns, sad dies, blankets, provisions and other articles carried off. After examin- ing the body the closed the house and hastened to Clifton after riding all night. Sunday morning a party of six started for the scene of the tragedy, and the body of the de- ceased was buried that night and Monday the party returned to this place. No inquest was held, as the Justice of the Peace at this place, who was the nearest officer, declined to undertake the long fatiguing ride. The party became satisfied, from moccasins tracks, that two Indians had concealed themselves behind some rocks near the front gate of the yard.
 Two Winchester rife cartridge shells were found near the place and the supposition is that the un- fortunate man had just returned home and entered the gate when he was shot, but reached the house be- fore he fell, He was shot twice, two bullets entering the right side under the arm, and passing through the body.
 The effects from the house were carried up hlll east of the house, to a point from which the murder CTS started of with their booty. One horse from the ranch IS missing and the supposition is that the per perators of the fendish act drove him off.
 The settlers on the Blue were at once notified ofthe murder and put on their guard. Nat Whittum was a native of Maine, he came to Cali. fornia at an early age, and lived there until he made his home in Graham county about five years ago. He had one of the most de- sirable ranches on the Blue and since he was a man of industry and excellent habits his prospects were good. Universally popular he was not known to have an enemy in the world. The impression that he was murdered by Indians is strengthen ed by the fact that he lived in a sec ton of country remote from neigh bors and on a trail but little travel ed and was absent frequently from his ranch, and his house could have been robbed without danger; and if plunder alone had been the ob- feet in view, there existed no neces- sity for murder.-Tucson Star.

SALARIES OF CITY OFFICERS,

The present city administration seems
to be constituting the charter in kind of
happy go-lucky style. It's spirit is dis
regarded and it's letter violated to suit
the fancy or convenience of almost any
body. The Journal has called attention
to several instances of such violation,
and here is another.
Shortly after the charter was adopted
and the present city government organ
lied the Council passed an ordinance
increasing the salaries of the controller,
the members of the Board of Public
Works, the clerks of each of those de-
partments, and some others. They have
all been drawing the increased salary.
This is plainly illegal. Section 90 of
the charter is as follows:
The Common Council shall have power
to Xix the salaries or compensation of the
various officers and employees of such city.
except here different provision is made
in this act upon this subject: provided.
that no member of the Common Council
shall be allowed more than 500 for each
year OF his service as such membe nor
shall any salary be changed after the cleo
ton or appointments of q person to office.
until his term expires OF his Office is va
Gated.
This is plain enough. 1t prohibits the
changing of the salary of any city officer
during the term for which he was ap-
pointed or elected. The Council has the
right to raise the salaries of certain off J.
GERS to the limit prescribed by law. and
it has exercised that right, but the pres
ent incumbents could not benefit by it.
They have, however. been drawing the
increased salaries. If the charter is en-
forced they will have to refund the ex-
cess of their salaries over the amount
fixed by the charter.

of European and American labor.
The dispatch says the Russian company
has employed skilled Irish dressers at
20, or $500, per week, while all its
other employees receive only pence, or
Is cents. per day. In this country the
dressers would probably receive S15
week, and the other workmen from S1.25
to $3.50 per day. This difference in
wages will give the Russian company a
great advantage in its attempt to con-
troll the European pork market. 1t is
this, also, which places American man.
ufacturers at disadvantage in cOmpe-
tition with those of Europe, and which
makes it necessary to impose duties on
foreign products which shall protect
American industries against competition
with such cheap labor. There are other
things in favor of the European manu-
facturer, as lower rates of interest,
cheaper plants and lower rates of living,
but the chief one is the difference in the
cost of labor. The question of prOtec-
tion in its last analysis is one of wages.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1891-07-17

The recklessness with which certain
Democratic papers treat facts is SO
amazing that one is inclined to suspect
that some of them are foes to the free
trade party and are bound to injure it
by supporting it with absurd statements.
For instance, the Cincinnati Enquirer
went at the duty on tin-plates few
days since after this manner:
This atrccious tax falls upon every
household IN the land. 1t makes the work
ingman pay three prices for his dinner-pall,
and also triples the cost of every tin uIen-
sil to every housewife. Moreover. it greatly
increases the cost TO the consumer of
canned gOOds-SOmething in which Cincin.
natl retains her prominence as a manufact-
urlng center.
There is not reader of free trade
paper who does not know that the above
is erotesquely false. What, then, does
the Enquirer intend by saying that the
workingman pays three prices for his
dinner-pail and that the price of every
tin utensil is tripled by the increased
duty of 1.2 cent pound on tin? Does
it assume that its readers are fools or
idiots. or is 1T resolved to put the free
trade press where no one can believe
any of its statements? Even if the in
creased duty was added to the price of
dinner pals, how much would it amount
tot Such a pail weighs pound, the
duty being cent pound under the old
law. 1t is now % cents pound, or 1.2
cent increase, which. added to % cents,
makes 26.2 cents, which is somewhat
they were never SO cheap, while tin
plate is as cheap now as year ago. In
view of these facts. one would like TO
know what the Enquirer means by max
ing such absurd statements. 1t seems
the fabricator OF snake stories.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1891-07-17
A QUESTION OF WAGES.

A London cablegram. in the Journal
yesterday showed what kind of compe-
tition American labor has to meet
abroad. The dispatch stated that the
Russian Bacon Company is making ar
rangements TO establish large packing
houses with view of driving American
pork from the European markets. They
have been making a study of American
methods of Strengthening and packing,
and will adopt them. They have also
from the Russian government, by which
they hope To place their products in
London in less time and tor less money
than American packers can. Finally,
says the dispatch. "the company en-
ploys fifteen Irish dressers, who re-
ceive f2 salary per week. A host of
other employees, all Russians. receive
only pence per day. SO that the cost of
cities" This is the dangerous point of
the threatened cOmpetition-the cheap
ness of European labor. Hogs can be
raised In this country as cheaply or more
cheaply than they can be in Europe.
The quality of our pork is undoubtedly
better than that of European pork. The
question of transportation offers no diff
ficulties that could not be met and
obviated. The real sticking point
is the great difference in cost
