When the father of Athlete Malcolm
Ford recently died in Brooklyn he left all OF
his large estate to his other children and did
not even mention the name of Malcolm.
This is said to have been because he did not
relish the idea of having his son make freak
of himself in the show arena for the money
to be got fromit Since the son did not show
proper respect for tbs wishes and feelings of
his father 1t seems only right that the latter
should have tried to forget that he had a son
who only Inundated him. Young people too
frequently forget that their families are
connected with them by ties that are in
disseverable. Consequently they have
some claims to consideration in the course of
conduct devised by those who may happen
to hear their names.

Where Hanging is Played out.

Some years ago when the roughs had COM
troll Of New York city it was the boast of
some Of the murderers Of that city that
hanging was played out. Although there
is no such thing as hanging there now there
is capital punishment. In Denver, Col. j.,
however, it looks as if capital punishment
would soon be a thing Of the past.
The trial OF a famous case has been begun
there, that of the state against DR.. Graves,
who is charged with the murder of Mrs.
Barnaby. The MORNING NEWS gave a
history of the case few days ago.
The case has been before the court for
several days and the trial OF it was not
fairly begun until yesterday, on account Of
the difficulty in securing jury. OF the
1900 talesmen summoned LOO declared
that they were opposed TO the infllction of
the death penalty. 1t is doubtful if in any
other city in the country there is so large a
percentage of its citizen opposed to capital
punishment. Denver ought TO be pretty
safe place for murderers.

Laying for johnson.

About Q o'clock yesterday morning a stranger
paid his penny at the New York end of the
bridge and walked rapidly up the incline with
out looking to the right nor left until he reached
the steps. Then he took a two-foot rule out of
his pocket and began to measure the width of
the structure, but he had only tailed six feet
when a policeman approached and demanded TO
know what he was about.
"Gttin' the width, was the reply.
We'll you stopl You'll soon have a crowd

To Be Settled To-Day.

Tbs contest for the speakership VIII be
decided to-day in all probability. The
democratic members of the House will meet
in caucus at 2 o'clock. AMI all the indica-
tions are that before they adjourn it will
be known who is to be speaker.
Il is hardly probable that all who are en-
titled to seats in the caucus will be present.
At such gatherings there are nearly always
few absentees- 1t is fair to assume. there
fore. that the candidate that gets 1I3 or ia
votes will be the party's choice for speaker.
1t is certain that Judge Crisp has nearly
If not quite. 100 votes pledged 10 him. He
will, therefore, be the leading candidate on
the first ballot by a good many votes if the
present situation does not change greatly
before the caucus meets.
There are rumors that Mr.. McMillin, Mr..
hatch, and Mr.. Springer will throw their
strength to Mr.. Mills just as soon as it is
clearly demonstrated that they have no
chance OF getting the nomination, but
these rumors are not regarded as reliable.
Neither Of them can control his following.
Some of the supporters Of each one of them
viii go to Judge Crisp. In fact, the man
ayers of Judge Crisp's canvass know pretty
accurately the number Of the supporters Of
Messrs. Springer, Hatch and Nc Millin they
can count upon to come to the assistance of
their candidate, aud they feel confident Of
success.
The kind of attacks which the newspapers
hostile to Judge Crispare making upon him
show clearly that his opponents have little
or no hope of defeating him. The New
York Times, for instance, is trying
TO make it appear that northern
democrats cannot afford to vote
for Judge Crisp because he called at
tention number Of years ago to the fact
that while pension legislation caused many
millions of dollars to be distributed annually
in the north, 1t gave nothing to the south,
although the south was taxed to provide
money for pensions. Such attacks, however,
do Judge Crisp no harm. With reference to
| pension legislation he stated only what was
well known throughout the country, and,
besides, legislation increasing the pension
burden is not now as popular in the north
as it was a few years ago.
There is absolutely nothing to be urged
against Judge Crisp, and there is
much in his favor which cannot
be said in behalf OF any other
one of the candidates, He stands squarely
with his party on the tariff question and on
all other issues, and that he would make an
excellent presiding officer no one doubts. 1t
certainly looks now as If the Geogian would
get the speakership. II he does his success
will give very general satisfaction.

Late advices from Ottawa state that the
Canadian government will now begin to
make strenuous exertions to induce immi-
grafton. For that purpose large amounts
of money are to be spent Immigrants the
Canucks must and will have even though
they may find it necessary to make lavish
expenditures and roundly traduce the
United States to bring foreigners to them.
Possibly the government may yet establish
free transportation from European ports
That would be very fortunate thing for
us. 1t would furnish immigrants easy
access to this country. Such an arrange
ment would tend to rapidly build MP our
northwest territory without overrunning
the cities Of the seaboard with a class of
immigration that is not wanted there. BY
all means let Premier Abbott start the free
transportation lines.

She simnlv Stared.

She came into an 81" train at the shopping

passage toward happy Harlem.
She chatted with her friend gayly for few
stations, when suddenly the lady sitting across

woman with the parcels was all in a fiutter 10 a

She glanced hastily TO the little mirrors. Yes.

Then she went over on q new tack diving

The lady across the aisle continued to stare.
The woman with the bundles tried to oon-
tinue her conversation, but it came In short
gasps, and was decidedly disjointed. The man
beside her, of course, noticed nothing. He
thought, man-like. that he was making great
hit. He went on:

Pennsylvania dairy farmers are making
an incorporating warfare upon oleo-
margarine. They threaten to drive out all
competition to the meek-eyed and spotted
milk COW. In this effort they are said to
have the counsel and support of the Ma

opponents will be the hotel and restaurant
people. But the dairymen insist that they
don't want to be fed on the iniquitous oleo-
margarine when they go to hotels. Hence
the cow-like dilemma with two horns.

Railroad Accidents.

Are railroad employees becoming careless,
or are their duties so great that they are not
able to give proper attention to them7
There must be some reason for the very
large number of disastrous railroad acct
dents which have occurred recently.
In our dispatches this morning there is an
account Of a very bad accident at East
Thompson, on the New York and New Eng
land railroad. At O'clock yesterday
morning two freight trains aud an express
train were all piled in heap there, and
quite a number OF people were killed and
injured. As far as could be ascertained the
accident was caused by misplaced switch.
Nearly all the accidents are caused by the
carelessness or Incompetence of employees
But. after all, the wonder is that accidents
are not Of more frequent occurrence. 1t is
about impossible to have safe men at all the
points Of danger. Among the hundreds of
thousands Of employees there must be many
who have no appreciation Of the greatness
of their responsibilities, and who take all
sorts Of risks In order to avoid a little
work.
On some road DIS the compensation is too
small to secure the services of f1rst-class
men. For this condition of affairs railroad
commissioners and the owners of the prop
critics are to blame. The low traffic rates
fixed by the commission leave very little
for operating expenses after the dividends,
which the railroad owners demand, are pro-
vided for. Railroad managers do the best
they can with the means at their command,
1t is evident, however, that the policy Of re-
| ducing the operating expenses below the
danger line is a mistaken one. The cost Of
| wreck like that on the New York and
New England railroad yesterday, if added
to the operating expenses, would permit the
employment of reliable men at all points Of
danger on almost any railroad. Notwith-
standing the number of railroad accidents,
however, travel on railroad is much safer
than on ships or even in stage coaches.
