A Never-Ending Slaughter.
Figures Which Are Frightful to Com

Civilization.

Figures Which Are FrightnII to Com
template and "A Shame to Our Modern
Civilization.
Coal mining is ordinarily regarded as
about the most perilous occupation in
which men can engage, except the hunt
ing of Arctic whales, and the New Eng
land cod and halibut fisheries. And yet it
is an undeniable fact that the waste of hui
man life is proportionally greater on the
railroads than in the coal mines of Amer
lea. According to the figures of the Col
liery Engineer, there was in 1892 one fatal
accident to every 81 employees in the an
thracite coal field, and one non-fatal acci-
dent to every 125 employees. In the btu
minous coal fields of Pennsylvania there
was in the same year one fatal accident to
every 5SS employees, and one non n-fatal ac-
cident to every 232 employees Taking both
anthracite and bituminous districts tOgeth-
er, there was one fatal accident to every
37S persons employed, and one nOn-fatal
one to every 1873.
A great many railway employees are en-
gagged in clerical or other work which in
wolves no particular danger to life or limb.
But the statistics show that in 1892 one
railroad man was killed for every 320 EN-
plOyed, and one injured for every 2S. That
is to say a miners chances of avoiding vi
olent death are sixth better and of avoid
ing injury fivefold better than railroad
mans. This comparison is startling enough,
but it is even worse when train hands alone
are considered. One train hand out of ev-
cry l15 was slaughtered in 1892, and one
of every ten was wounded. The anthra-
cite coal miner was 2.7 times safer from
death than the average train hand, and
l2.5 safer from injury; the bituminous
coal miner was 81 times safer from death
and 5S.S times safer from injury.
The time will come when this state of
things, and the indifference of railroad
companies which makes it possible will be
looked back upon as relic of barbarism.

Cheap-MOney Bills.

Senator Morrilrs exposure of the alb
surdities of populistic craftsmanship is not
likely to have much effect in checking the
flood of bills whose purpose is to make
everybody rich and happy off-hand. Pef-
fer and Jerry Simpson had both already
given notice of their intention to introduce
more bills of the same kind. Only the
day before Senator Morrill, spoke, Senator
Palmer of Illinois presented a .half-doz en-
petitions from the state grange of Illinois,
headed by one in favor of more greenbacks,
and winding up with request for an ap-
preparation to pay part of the freight on
farm products to the seacoast. A Cali
fornian was here, came all the way to
Washington to lobby for this freight-pay-
ing scheme. He says the Western farmers
are all in favor of it and claim it as a
right to offset the benefits the tariff gives
manufactures.
