occurred near Harrisburg, Pa, eleven
lives were lost, thirty persons were in
Jured and a million dollars worth of
property was destroyed. Inquiry re-
veals the fact that the blame rests on a
telegraph operator, who, instead of con-
sulting the appliances provided to in
sure safety. trusted to his own judg-
ment, and in that instance the unex-
pected had happened and the accident
resulted. Railway employees, as, in

AND STILL THEY COME.
The House Trying to Wipe Out the Nc
KinIcy Law.

kinney Law.
The democratic house has ventured
on one more separate tariff bill, one
to remove the duty OH tin plate. Their
courage in having ventured to reduce
the duty on three separate" articles,
when they were elected, according to
their own claims, to wipe out the in
iquitous Mckinley law is very admir-
able The democratic congressman
are probably not aware that on the day
the republican platform was adopted
at Minneapolis, one of the largest tin
plate factories in Wales, Llanelly &
Swansea. announced that it had COM
pleted arrangements to remove its
twenty mills to Indiana. This was one
of the most important news items that
came across the waters of the Atlantic
on that day. but still the democrats in
congress are going ahead as if it
amounted to nothing, as if the an
nouncement had never been made.
This single plant, which the Mckinley
bill has given to this country. is valued
thousand men. It's removal to this
country means that there will be
ten thousand more stomachs to
fill three times day with
the produce of American firms. 1t
means that the surplus will be less. On
the day following the Minneapolis con-
vention tin plate and mining com
pany was organized, the head Of which
is also a Wclshrnan, and who gave the
following statement of the objects Of
the concern:
Wales produces 90 per cent Of the tin plate OF
Great Britain. and IS per cent. Of this product
comes to the United States. To meet this de-
mand 100 mills viii be needed, as against so or
co now located in the United States. The value
of the tin consumed in this country annually is
about $50 o00, ,009, and the labor employed in lis
production equals $50, 900 600. Nine plants under
