figures in the fifth statistical report Of
the interstate commerce commission.
just submitted. regarding railroad &C.
cidents and casualties. The number of
railway employees killed during the year
covered by the report was 1854, being
less than the number killed during the
previous year. The number of employees
injured, however, vas in excess OF the
number injured the previous year, being
2S,267. The number Of passengers killed
was largely in excess of the number killed
during the previous year, being 376 in
1892 as against 293 in 1891, while the
number of passengers injured was 1927
in 1892 as against 1912 in 1891. An
assignment Of casualties to the oppor,
tunity offered for accidents shows one
employe to have been killed for every 222
employees, and q employee to have been
injured for each % men in the employ Of
the railways. A similar comparison
shows enc passenger killed for each
1,491, 91O. passengers carried, or for each
35,542,2S2 passenger miles, and one pas
senRer injured for each 1883 passen-
gers carried or each 4,140,9966 passenger
miles. The largest numbers of casualties
to employees resulted from coupling and
uncoupling cars, 1873 employees having
been killed and 1879 injured while
rendering this service. OF the total
number killed in coupling and uncoup-
ling cars 235, and of the total number
injured 766 we're trainmen. The acct
dents classed as "falling from cars" were
in this year as in previous year respon-
sible for the largest number OF deaths
among employees, the number killed in
this manner being GIL. OF this number
485 were trainmen. Collisions and de-
railments were responsible for the death
Of 431 employees. OF this number 3236
were trainmen. This class of accidents
is responsible also tor the largest num-
Der OF casualties to passengers. Thus
1T passengers we're killed and 1859
were injured by collisions and derail-
ments during the year. Collisions alone
were responsible for the death Of 296 EN-.
ployes and 1856 passengers.

CHICAGO DAY,

And yesterday was the gala day of the
Worlds Fair. 1t is impossible to de-
scribe it. 1t is next to the impossibility
to imagine the presence of between 700,
600 and 10000 people. 1t is i'm
possible to describe the crush, the
crowd, the jam, the roar, the enthu.
siasm. But when it IS said that it was
Chicago day, all these things are ex.
planned. 1t was but appropriate that
the day set apart for the city which
gives a home to the fair, should be the
grandest day of all that exposition. And
90 1t was.
When the now stored cow which in a
moment of bovine impotence twenty
two years ago. made a frantic kick at
Mrs. O'Leary, and struck instead the
lamp which set fire to and consumed the
empire city of the west, there arose an
opportunity for the display Of western
pluck and energy, and what could be
accomplished thereby. That persever-
ance and undaunted enterprise was cele.
brated yesterday, when a half million
people joined in the exercises indicative
Of the rise of Chicago, and g grander
Chicago than ever, from the ashes. Every
true Chicagoan was proud, from the
crown of his head, to the sole of his feet,
of the occasion.
Chicago day demonstrates that for life
and energy, Chicago is the peer, if not
the superior, of any city in the world.
The II will" ofthe city has become q
by-word. Possibility, with Chicago means
execution. And the whole population of
the United States, u%nselfshly and with
n accord, will do homage to the
activity and industry, which charac.
terizes the city, and which has made
possible the grandest event of the
century-the Worlds Fair.

WHAT HANsBRoUGH SAYS.

Senator Hansbrough had had printed
and sent out to editors about the state,
who have commented upon his financial
views, and his recent senate speech, q
defense of himself and his views. The
TRIBUNE regrets that its length forbids
its publication in full, but the closing
paragraphs, being the senator's exp ana
ton of the plank on which he stands,
the TRIBUNE is pleased to publish. He
says: Let me say to my esteemed
critics that l emphaticslly object to be-
ing read out of the republican party by
the advocates of the British financial
system. In order that my right to re-
main IN the party, owing to the views I
hold with respect 10 the money question,
may be accurately determined, I here
with submit for the consideration of re-
publicans generally the financial plank
adopted by the last republican national
conventions:
The American people. from tradition and
interest, favor bimetailiSm. and the repub-
lican party demands the use Of both gold
anu silver dS StauuaCu money.
stand upon this and all other planks
o; the Minneapolis platform and all pre-
vious republican platforms, which have
invariably declared for the use of both
gold and silver as the basic money. As
the friend of every American interest, I
hope to be consistent. I have never
given my vote in behalf of the British
commercial policy of free trade; nor will
l aid or give encouragement to those
who are striving to establish here the
British financial policy.
The republican financial policy, as
enunciated in it's more recent platforms,
was predicated upon the sound reason
ing of Mr.. Blaine, who, in a speech in
the United States senate in 1878. laid
down this fundamental doctrine:
l believe gold and silver to be the money
OF the cOnstitution-indeed. the money Of
the American people anterior to the cons
titution: money which the organic law of
the Repub ic recognized as independent Of
ferred on congress to declare that either
metal should not be money. Congress has
therefore, in my Judgment, nc more power
to demonetize silver than to demonetize
gold: no more power to demonetize either
than to demOnetiZe both.
The consequences that would follow
the 6nal destruction OF silver as a part
of the money Of ultimate payment were
thus tersely described by Mr.. Blaine in
the same speech:
| believe the struggle now going on in
this country and in other countries for a
single gold standard would. if successful,
produce disaster in the end throughout
the commercial world. The destruction Of
silver as money and the establishment of
gold as the sole unit Of value must have a
ruinous effect on all forms of property ex-
cept those investments which yield a fixed
return in money.
Far better for me, and for all repub-
licans, to follow in the footsteps of this
illustrious statesman than to yield our
Americanism and our convictions to the
selfish, unpatriotic organization of gold
monometallists who are now attempting
to coerce the United States senate and
forever retire silver as a money metal.

Almost all, if not all, cases of %cosumption
begin with catarrh.
Thousands have just started on one of
these roads, all of whom could be easily
