Indications Of Caste in America.

The street railway syndicate that have
obtained control Of the street car lines
in Hudson and Essex counties, N. j., in
tend, it is understood, to introduce a
novel feature in their new electric cars,
somewhat similar to the English system.
The new cars are to be much longer than
the present horse cars and will be divided
into two compartments, one Of which
will be reserved for women and children,
though men may be admitted. The
fare in the reserved compartment will be
six cents, in the other five cents 1t is
thought that this arrangement will have
the effect Of secluding the cleaner and
better dressed passengers from contact
with the unssvory and unkempt trsv-
eIers of unacclimsted habits, who it is
expected will prefer the cheaper COM
psrtment not only to save the extra cent
but to avoid mortifying comparisons be-
tween their own coarse and dirty gar.
ments and those Of sheir better groomed

ANOTHER STRIKE.
The Union Pacific Shop Men Follow
Suit-The Santa Fe Strike.

The Union Pacific Shop Men Follow
Suit-Ths Santa Fe Strike.
The strike insugurated by the ma
chinlsts, blacksmiths and boiler makers
of the Santa Fe system has reached
alarming proportions At all the diVl-
sion points on the road engines are lying
dead for want Of repairs and freight is
being side tracked for want Of engines
and cars. In the Indian Territory, New
Mexico and western Kansas live stock is
being taken from the cars and fed under
contract to keep the animals alive. The
train men have taken no hand in the
strike except to encourage the unions
which are interested in it, and one way
to do this is to adhere strictly to their
rules not to work with any engines or
cars that are out of repair. Last Thurs
day the company began discharging all
men who were out on strike, and taking
in non-union men, but up to date the
supply is very limited. The strikers are
very orderly and confident thet they will
bring the company to terms.
The men have come TO the conclusion
that the action Of the company in hold
ing out against signing an agreement is
the result of an arrangement between
managers Of different roads the object Of
which, they say, is to crush out the
brotherhoods. AS contracts with the
unions expire the managers refuse to
make new ones. General Manager Frey,
Of the Santa Fe, denies this assertion.
This promises to be q long contest be-
tween the men and the employers.

That Mcbride Case,

On Monday S. Fl. Snlder took posses
sion Of the Office of state superintendent
Of insurance, to succeed w. II. Mcbride,
whose resignation had been accepted
two days before. Charles Taylor, Of
Pratt county, is to be the new assistant.
Some Of the newspaper friends Of the
ADVOCATE have overstepped the bounds
of fairness IN their desire to denounce
the bringing Of the charges against Nc
Bride as an unjustiiRble proceeding.
They should remember that the accused
was not exonersted Of the charges made,
but that the governor in his decision Rd-
mitted that there had been dereliction
of duty, or something that amounted to
the same, on the part of the official.
They should also remember that it was
also plainly established that there were
some thousands Of dollars due the state
from different companies, which Nc
Bride had failed to collect. This money
will be collected and placed in the treas
ury by the new superintendent, with the
assistant attorney general. When that
is done and it is generally understood
that MoBride's attorney approached
Assistant Attorney General Allen with q
proposition to have Mcbride exoner-
Bted without a hearing, in consideration
Of his handing in his resignation at that
time, and that Mr.. Allen rejected the
proposition, then public sentiment will
be different. There were not only good
grounds for bringing the charges, but
the final result viii prove benefit to the
state.

The Kansas City Hay Exchange.


The hay business of this city has here
tofore been transacted under very SER
ious difficulties. There has been no
public warehouse where shippers or re-
ceivers could store their hay, and both
shippers and receivers had to use what
is known as Team Tracks. Neither the
shipper nor the buyer under this ar
rsngement had any assurance as to
weights; the buyer had to accept the
weights of the seller and the shipper
must accept the weights of the receiver
without any assurance as to their &C.
curscy except the good faith and honesty
of the parties weighing. frequently
there were stealings from the cars; these
either the shipper or receiver must lose
generally the loss falling upon the
shipper. These difficulties created de-
mand for public warehouse where hay
can besafsly stored and correctly weighed
out. At the solicitation Of large num-

Extremely Dangerous.

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 14.-The SEN
ate and house joint committee appointed
to investigate the extortion Of the coal
combine, made its report last night. The
committee finds that the entire anthra-
cite coal supply of this section is con-
trolled by the Northwestern Fuel COM
pany, the Pioneer company, Ohio Coal
company, st Paul and Western coal COM
pany, the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company, the Lehigh Val
Icy Coal company and the Delaware,
Lackawanns g. Western Railroad COM
psny.
All Of these corporations claim to be
only agents for the eastern owners Of
the anthracite coal, and to be compen-
sated for their services by q percentage
Of the money received on the sales they
make, but the committee believes that
this is q mere scheme or subterfuge by
these corporations acting in collusion
with the mine owners in the east to meet
and avoid if possible certain phases Of
this question, or possibly to avoid the
payment of personal tax upon q com
modify which remains in their hands
within the state.
On this point the report says: "The
fact remains, however, and it is indis-
putsble, that they exercise all the erights
of an owner over it, and your committee
are Of the opinion, after carefully con-
siderirg the matter, that they do IN fact
own 1t after it is consigned and delivered
to them, Notwithstanding their claim to
the contrary"
The committee finds as conclusions
that "such combinations are contrary to
public policy" and are extremely dan
gerous to the interests of the state and
the welfare Of the people thereof, and
has placed in the hands and within the
power Of a selfish, unpublic-spirited and
cruel aggregation, one Of the absolute
necessaries Of life in this climate"

THE UNION PACIFIC.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, April 17.-All the
boiler and engine makers and black
smiths employed by the Union Pacific
road at Armstrong, near here, went on
strike to-day at 12:45 o'clock. This means
that the strike has been ordered on the
entire system, as the men here acted
under instructions from Omaha.
The trouble has arisen over a dlss-
greemennt between the employees and
the company concerning the reduction of
standard time of working day. Fully
5000 men are involved in the movsment,
and the towns where shops are located
to be affected are Omaha, Denver, Salt
Lake. Cheyenne, Ogden, Portland, Kan
sas City, Rawlins, Laramie, and most
points where round houses are located.
The men are said to be we'll organized
and thoroughly united for the purpose
Of withstsnding the siege of strike.
DENVER, COL, April 1.-THE employees
OF the Union Pacific road at this point
quit work to-day.
They include the trades unions; ma
chinists union, Rmalgamsted association
Of engineers and boiler makers, number
ing about 200 men.
The Knights OF Labor this morning
posted the following notice at the shops:
nThe strike ordered by the unions is in
support of demand for an agreement
with the company covering only mschin-
lists, boiler makers and blReksmiths, and
which is in direct opposition to the spirit
OF the agreement entered into between
the company and Knights Of Labor in
general order sixty-one, which covers
all and is in force. All members of the
Knights of Labor, and all who believe
in equal justice to all, will uphold the
action Of the unions, and district assem-
bly, No. 50 will guarantee support to all
who stand with the organization in this
matter.
