gives to one man or o ESw men the
powers Of society. With the exception
OF the Astors and the ComstOCk owners,

Thirty one persons have been killsdin
Cook county by the railroads in the
month beginning July and ending
August 8.
In other words, this high rate Of
mortality Ia due entirely to the efforts Of
the railroads 20 rum trains manned BY
incompetent crews without the Alightest
regard to the safety OF human llfs-em~
ployeg or passengers.
The railroads persisted that IL they
had the proper protection no trouble
would bs experienced in running trains,
that plenty Of men could be found ready
and willing to work lG their lives wero
not endangered by the strikers.
Nothing was said about protection"
from incompetent engineers, SWitChmen,
yard masters and others.
Regular troops arrived in Chicago the
night Of July q, and the next day tho
railroads started to make good the state
msnt about running trains-And inOi-
dsntally the appalling death rate was
given birth. That these thirty-Ons lives
were lost through the employment Of
men wholly incapable OF running trains
is true. The records In the coEoner'a
office are beyond question, and the find
ing Of the Ooroner's juries cannot be-
gsinsSid. There is no appeal from it.
This enormous death list is an outcome
Of the strike. It can be attributed tC
no other source, for it has none.
In the various Estimates" made ol
the cost OF the strike to the roads one
item Of expense" has been overlooked,
that OF moneys paid to the heirs Of per.
sons killed. The statute allows at mos
5000 to the heirs Of every person who
Ia killed by railroads in the state whore
the death was clearly due to careless
ness on the part OF employees. In nearly
every ons Of the thirty.one verdicts Ee-
turned by the coroner's juries these
words occur: "And we, the jury, GEN.
sure the said railroad company for not
having experienced men handling the
trains"
Il Ia q simple problem In multipliCa-
tion. Thirty-onS times 5000 is 1885,.
600. A Rrewsome account for any ledger
and one which by NO means heals the
hsartaches and sorrow in the families
Of the men and women murdered by thS
grsSping policy Of the great railway cor.
porationg.
The table at the head Of this column
shows the fatalities on the various roads
during the month they were protected.
To sum up the situation: The rail
ways have killed more people than were
killed by the combined forces OF the ma
tlon, state and city during the riots, and
should the same proportion be main
tanned for twelve months it will cost tho
stockholders Of the roads 81, $4,000 to

WHEAT PROSPECTS.

An article in the London Economic
Journal written by an eminent English
agricultural writer and statistician, in
reference to the wheat prospects of the
next few years has been thus epito-
mized: He finds that while there was
every reason to look for higher prices
of wheat in 1891. in consequence of the
short crop in Europe and for other
reasons. it happened that the greatest
crop ever known in the United States
was produced. This was officially est
mated at 612,OOOOOO bushels, against an
average of 44O, 900 bushels during the
preceding decade, but was really much
lrager than the estimate. This enor-
nous crop" says Mr.. Bear, was fol-
lowed by another in 1892 only second to
lit in the record of American crops,
being returned at nearly 516,OO0,O0O
bushels, which again was an underesti-
mate"
Judging from supplies that have come
to light, he estimates the two crops
together at the vast sum of 1884,
100000 bushels, or nearly the amount
Of three average crops. In the presence
of this extraordinary surplus the short
crops of Europe had no significance.
1t happened that India had an unusu-
ally large crop in 1891 also All this
accounts for the depression in prices
in 1928, but from this time forward
Mr.. Bear looks for a change to the adj
vantage of the farmer.
The crop in the United States for 1893
is one of the smallest known in ten
years, while those of most countries
Of Europe are deficient India has a
larger. crop even than that of 1891, but
no other country from which we have
reliable statistics shows any consider
able increase.
His conclusion is that the unexhaust-
ed supplies carried over by the United
States and the surplus of India
will prevent any substantial improve
ment in prices this year, but that the
next and the following years will see
an advance which viii at least make
wheat remunerative crop. which it
is not now. in his opinion. He does
not, however, look for excessive prices.
Isince any considerable advance would
bring more land under wheat and lead
to more extensive cultivation and a
larger yield per acre.

To the Editor of The Herald.
As you are aware, there are two
sides TO every question, and that of

cepticn to the rule, though a person s
prejudice may, for a time at least.

l am not among the number of those
who are ever ready to depounce the
landlords. There are many poor land
lords in this city, who have after a
life of industry put their little alI'

also to pay interest on, and finally IL
quidate the mortgages they are carry

Nor do I believe the landlords here
are unduly severe on their tenants. l
have one in mind now who has carried
his tenant for thirteen months at SO

Now does anyone want that land

We do not doubt that very large
proportion of the landlords and land
ladies in this city are lenient with their
tenants as stated in the foregoing let
ter. But that is not the question now
to be decided. It is how to protect the
good landlord against the bad tenant,
and at the same time afford a fair
shield for the honest but importunate
renter against hard and grasping
landlord.
Instances of fraud against landlords
by tenants who will not pay rent if
they can avoid it. are heard Of every
day. Occasionally but not often we
hear of a landlord who will not wait
for his rent from poor tenants unable
to raise the money. AS a rule, how

CONCLUSIVE.


We are not at all surprised that our
morning contemporary is not satisfied
with what The Herald has given to the
public in relation to the abduction of
Wyoming Senator who was never
abducted. The Tribune now has the
politeness to intimate that the gentle
man whom it has failed to implicate
in the abduction, which was piece of
sheer fiction, ought to inform it what
was his business in the town where
the occurrence that never took place
was said TO have happened. Modesty
and truth ought to go together and
the excess of both in our baff1ed neigh
Dor must be really oppressive to its
readers.
We have disproved it's personal ale
cations out of its own columns and yet
it is not satisfied. We are desired to
prove a negative. All that is necessary
for any sensible person has been adj
duced and that ought to be sufficient.
OF course it is not enough for our
neighbor. The Herald did not descend
to personal explanations for the ben
eft of the accuser. It was for the pub
lie. The burden of proof is on the
Tribune. The evidence of its failure
and of its perfidy are it's own publica-
tions on the subject
Why didn't the Tribune improvise an
other respectable old lady, as its
authority for the libel it has utterly
failed to make stick? The story from
the first was halt. lame, blind and
silly, and could not hold water enough
to make a damp spot on blotting
pad. Just as soon as particulars were
entered into, as usual fiat failure fell
on the Tribune.
Now it can't let the matter alone.
It has to wallow around again in the
mud of its own contradictions and the
fog of its own suggestions. But there
lis one thing it does not attempt to
touch; that is, the point on which the
original controversy with The Herald
turned, and from which it has run
away just like the Republicans did
whose escapade was the matter in con-
tention
If the Tribune had proved that some
body connected with The Herald actu-
ally abducted man. and had him
now secreted somewhere about his
clothes or his premises, on what prin-
ciple Of logic would that prove that
four Republicans. legislators, in run
ming away from their posts of duty
and hiding from the officers sent to
bring them back, did exactly right
and only performed a public duty?"
That is the only point of contention,
and the abduction yarn was simply
a diversion to avoid meeting the issue
and to abuse and malign an opponent
whose argument the Tribune could not
fairly answer.
The Trfbune's logic is, the four Utah
Republican runaways acted out of
pure patriotism" and the proof of it
is that somebody said to be connected
with The Herald was alleged to have
spirited man away a year ago in
Wyoming. The prisoners are innocent
of contempt because comebody else
is charged with abduction Conclu-
sive? Why, who can doubt it?
