The next Legislature will probably be
petitioned, or, at least, the individual
members will be solicited to take some
action in regard to the judiciary. The
action suggested by men who do not
consider the case carefully may easily be
harmful rather than helpful 1t GER
tainly would not be wise to attempt to
change a system which has been in sue
cessful operation for sixty years because
sudden emergency has arisen. A
change in the judiciary system could not
be effected within two, perhaps not
within four years. That is not necessary
and it might not meet the emergency
which exists now. At the present time
there are two members Of the judiciary
practically incapacitated. The trainers of
the constitution had contemplated
that exigency, and the constituti on
was wisely drawn TO permit the Legisla
ture to enact suitable laws and
make suitable appropriations for
those members of the bench who have
become incapacitated in the service OF
the state. This is perfectly legal, a
speedy, just and equitable, as 1t is also an
honorable mode Of meeting the emer.
gency which exists now. There is moth.
ing else to be changed, nothing else
needing change in our judiciary, except
to put men on the bench whose health i.
firm and secure, and to provide mod,
for retiring those judges whose health
is, we hope only partially, impaired Th,
constitution viii permit that; it will moi
permit anything else Hence unless that
is done, nothing can be done. The suit
ors, the bar and the people will be com
polled to submit to the Inconvenience,
and the risks Of a crippled bench indef
nitely, or await the clumsy and uncertain
process of changing the constitution.

This report recommends legislation
compelling railroads to adopt train brakes
and automatic couplers, and also sug-
gests that some steps be taken besides the
adoption of the train brake to prevent
casualties from falling from trains and
engines Reference is also made to the
necessity of the block system and a
more perfect application Of the principle
of personal responsibility in the case Of
accidents. An investigation in the mat

The Report of the statician OF the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The report of the Statician of the In
terstate Commerce Commission for the
year ending June 30, 1891, is completed
and the following are extracts CLEANED
from its vast proportions.
In the United States on june 30, 1891,
there were 16S, 402 miles of railroad. The
length Of track was 2i6, l49 miles. The
length of road per 100 miles Of territory
exclusive of Alaska, was 5.bI miles, and
per 10, 600 inhabitants % 20 miles. The
increase in mileage during the year was
4,S05 miles, The greatest activity
in building was in the states
lying south of the Ohio and east
OF the Mississippi rivers, the total being
610 63 miles. Tho tendency toward
consolidation is clearly indicated by the
report. On June 80, 1891, there were
forty-two companies, each of which con
trolled a mileage in excess Of /, 600 miles,
and neatly one half of the mileage of the
country is the property Of these forty
two companies
The classification, according to earn
ings, shows eighty companies, each Of
which has a gross revenue in excess of
/ So. .O00, 000. The roads of this class con-
troll go. As per cent. of the total mileage
of the country, receive 50 90 per cent. of
the amount paid by the public, aud per-
/ form SO 76 per cent of the total passen-
! ger service, and 266 per cent of the
total freight service of the country.
Out Of a total of Sl,074 O00,0C0 tons Of
/ freight carried one mile these roads
carried go 5000 coo.
The total number of locomotives on
June 30, 1891, was 30 t30, showing an
increase Of /, 1893 during the year, and
total number Of cars, the property Of
railroads was ,215.61l, showing an in.
crease of 40, 944 during the year The
number of men employed in the United
States during the year was Isl, ,2S5, be.
| ing an increase of 34,9SL The number
of men employed per 100 miles of line
was 4S6. Each engineer during the
year has on an average hauled S6),0ll
passengers one mile and lOrgl 1888, 6is
tons Of freight one mile.
The total capitalization is 50, S29, ,f15,.
0l5, or $50 0l2 per mile of line. This
shows an increase in outstanding CAPT
tai of SG02 per mile Of line as compared
with the previous years report. Al
analysis of the changes in capital out
standing shows that income bonds have
increased from $16 93S. .SlS TO S32t 2SS

He win not consider the three elections
in which he has won unparalleled popular
support in the sense Of honors; he feels
that the people have entrusted him with
duty. Nothing can divert him from that
duty. He is bravely, coolly, intell-
igently but unalterably determined to do
that duty in spite Of any thing that may
happen. He knows that he must have a
House Of Representative and Senate
in accord with each other and in harmony
with him to accomplish a reduction of
the tariff an extension of the free list
and the substitution Of economy in the
place of extrayagance He means to do
those things he intends to have a har-

to descend to any trickery or planning to

will proceed directly and the man who
shows opposition will be overturned by

mind Of the motorman when the buggy
was standing on the car track and with
no prospects Of moving. Finally man
passing by was asked to lead the horse
up the street, the driver thinking this
would start the balky animal. This the
