killed and 2,7OS injured while manipulate
ing brakes on freight trains. To this
should be added numerous accidents that
might have been avoided if trains could
have been stopped more quickly.
The second and more important provis-
ion of the bill refers TO coupling. Ii di-
reefs each railroad engaged in interstate
traffic TO file with the interstate commerce
commission before July /, 1898, the form
of coupler it prefers. If companies own
ing 80 per cent of the freight cars in use
agree on a coupler, or q series OF couplers
that will work together automatically, the
commission is to declare that form or
series adopted. After six months from
that time every new car is to be furnished
with such couplers when built, and old
cars when repaired. After Jan. l, 1897,
any road NAV refuse. and after Jan. l,
1900, no road Will be permitted to haul
cars not furnished The Importance of
this provision is shown daily by reports
of men killed or manned while coupling
cars. In the year ending June 50,
1890, the total number thus in
jured was 8,2ll, of whom 500
were killed outright. 1t would be a
severe reflection on the humanity and
morality of the whole country il such q
fruitful source of injury to life and limb
were permitted to continue when there is
a simple and reasonable way OF ending 1t.
The bill also provides that an employe
continuing in the service of company
after he has knowledge that the company
has failed to equip its cars properly shall
not constitute contributory negligence.
This is a reasonable addition TO the bill in
troduced by Senator GEORGE providing
that the rule of common employment
shall be abolished as a defense in cases
where safety couplers are not provided
a provision equivalent. so far as car-coup-
ling is concerned, to the co-employe's
liability bill which unfortunately failed
of passage in the last legislature.

The Society Man.

Business men are wont TO scott at soci-
ETY. and declare they haven't time for such
nonsense hence, if they are married, their
wives carry the burdens of paying the So
cial debts of the whole family and of stay
ing at home from evening receptions
where men are expected with their wives.
Were it not better Tor the business man
if he took the time to 60 into society :?
Does not society give to man as many
advantages as the same man gives to 60
ciety?
Society is great rehner of character.
The man who associates with ladies and
gentlemen becomes gentle IN his man
ner, refined in conversation and better in
his habits than the man who lives for self
alone and who declines to make friends.
A man cannot swear and talk scandal in
the society of ladies, nor can he retain his
social position and indulge in a series of
sprees. If his evenings are taken up with
dances, card parties, theaters and calls, he
cannot spend them in the saloons. Society,
too, demands that he give proper atten-
ton to his attire, and that he be respect
full to the ladies, both of which are good
rules for him.
The young man coming to the city we
would advise to join club, a church,
and above all to go into society. If he
joins club and is desirable young fell
low, he stands show of being asked to
dinner by rich papa with manageable
daughters. Noa every poor Young man
expects to mar, either a rich girl or a
girl of good family, and how is he to meet
her if he haunts his boarding house or
the saloon? The company of refined
women is an education to young man
who has had few advantages. They will
introduce him to music, art and lectures
convert his awkwardness into grace, his
brusqueness into gentieness and his
coarseness into refinement.
Let us drop this rubbish about the silli-
ness of society, and introduce our son into
social circles as well as our daughter, He
need not become an idiot or dude. He
can learn to converse with other people,
enjoy respectable social gatherings and
the company of refined young ladies, and
not lose one whit of his business ability
nor manly qualities.

To THE EDIToR-Sir: viii YOU please
state briefly what effect you think reci-
procity will have on the farmers of the
United States and Why you think so? and
greatly oblige young HoosIER.
Terre Haute, Ind, March 5.
We do not think that reciprocity will
have any effect ON the farmers of the
United States, except as it may ALLEVIATE
manufacturers who want free raw mate
rails from the cause of tariff reform, and
so postpone the day of commercial freedom
for farm products.
The reciprocity powers OF the president
extend to five articles, viz. sugar, molssses,
coffee, tea and hides Our trade in them
is chiefly with South America and the
West Indies, which, together with Mexico,
are called Latin America. There will be
some increase of trade with these coun-
tries under either partial or complete
reciprocity, but it will be chiefly in manu-
featured articles. There will be slight
increase of agricultural exports to them.
but of no material Importance to Ameri-
can farmers. Mr.. FOSTER, former repub-
lican minister to Mexico and ardent
advocate OF reciprocity, estimated that
with complete reciprocity we might in
crease our agricultural exports 10 Latin
America 100 per cent. Suppose we do.
| Our exports have been about $4,000, COO
| per annum of agricultural products. An
increase OF that amount is a trifle com
pared with our total agricultural exports,
| NH olrr
per annum. 1t is much less than the
annual fuctuation from other causes. 1t
cannot materially affect prices.
Latin America does not manufacture to
any considerable extent. 1t is agricult-
ural. 1t produces its own food, in the
main, and very little Of our food product
is in demand there Food varies with
climate. In tropical countries people
subsist mainly on fruits. vegetables. rice
and the like. In polar countries they eat
tat meats. In temperate countries they
eat grain and lean meats. The food prod
ucts Of different climates are fitted to the
needs of the people living in them. Hence
the United States must find its market for
! food products in the temperate zone, and
chiefly in the thickiy populated countries
OF Europe. Reciprocity does not affect
our relations with them. The recent
treaties with European countries for the
admission of American meat products have
nothing to do with reciprocity. They
were due TO our meat inspection laws,
which removed the objections to our
meats made by those countries. This was
] well understood by the negotistors, and

BIssow from the indianapolis Jail. The
facts leading up to the slaughter are
these: 4 crowd of negroes had fired upon
a posse of officers and severely wounded
but not killed them. They had done no
actual murder, though the intention to DO
so can scarcely be doubted. Twenty-seven
negroes had been arrested on suspicion
and locked mp awaiting trial. The iden-
titv of the officers ASSISTANTS had not been
established. Yet in the dead OF night
three of these men were taken from their
cells and rnthlessly shot to death. There
was no certainty that they were
guilty OF the crime with which they were
charged. Nor can the Memphis mob
have even the poor excuse given by their
fellow butchers in New Orleans, that the
courts would not mete out full punish
ment to these men if guilty. The courts of
Tennessee have never been justly accused
of undue leniency to criminals, especially
when those criminals were black skins.
That fact makes the crime Of the Memphis
mob even more heinous than it would
otherwise have been. Viewed In what
ever light it NAV be- the Memphis lynch
ing was wholly uncalled for and brutal.
The courts should ferret out the guilty
and infiict upon them the most severe
punishment. Even that cannot fully wipe
out the bloody stain upon the reputation
of the city OF Memphis and the state of
Tennessee.

BUSINESS marriages., where the bride is a
young heiress and the groom a titled
foreigner, are too common to attract atten-
ton; but business marriage wherein the
bride is a half century older than the
groom, and where the fortune of a crippled
son is at stake. is strange enough to form
the plot for a good piece OF fiction. The
inheritance at stake was SlS0,0O0, but the
groom sacrificed himself for 500. which
shows that he was not a very mercenary
young man at all events. However the
cold public, satiated with sensations, may
view the woman's act, it can but admire
the mother-love which prompted it.

WHEN will the laws and the sentiment
! of the people put an end to murder by
mobs? It would really seem that the
tendency to resort to lynch law were grow
Eng rather than diminishing. And the
worst and most shameful feature of the
whole matter is that mob violence is be-
coming commonest where the popu-
fation is densest and where civilization
would be supposed to have reached its
highest stage. Lynchings of late have not
beea confined, as in the past. to backwoods
districts and mining camps, but have
kaken hold in the settled communities
and large cities. II law and order are to
prevail those who engage in these MUIR
ders must be punished like other criminals.

how any deduction can be drawn from

that employers have begun to organize to

Protection for American Labor

The bill which is now before congress
or the protection of railway employees is
one that ought to receive the support of
every member who believes that human
life is more valuable than money. Its
object is the reasonable protection of the
men in their work, and it is in line with
the safeguard legislation which has been
adopted in other countries and which will
certainly be adopted in this country
within a few years. The interstate COM
merce jurisdiction OF congress gives it the
opportunity to make the requirements as
to railroads. The provisions OF the bill
apply to methods OF braking and coup
ling.
As to braking the bill provides, u,
that all locomotives shall be furnished
with power brakes for the driving wheels,
and this is required to be done by
Jan. /. 1895. OF the 1900 locomotives in
use in > the country about 1900 are
already supplied with these appliances.
1t next provides that ali freight cars shall
be provided with brake for each wheel
and for train-brake apparatus that can be
worked from the locomotive. All new
cars are to be furnished with these when
built and all old cars when sent to the
shops for repairs. After Jan. l, 1897. any
railroad engaged in interstate commerce
may refuse TO haul cars not thus equipped,
and after Jan. !, 1900, they are not 60 be
permitted to haul them. 1t is obvious
that this change could be thus gradually
made without material inconvenience to
the roads. The importance OF it may be
judged from the fact that in the year end
ing June 30, 1890, there were $50 men
