did not see a train which was coming

they could realize their danger they
were struck and hurled into the air.

IT is certainly a great feather in the
cap of American railway managers to
be able To say that Notwithstanding
the greatly increased travel during the
Columbian year 1898 the number of
deaths from accidents was ninety-nine
less than in 1891. and rs less than in
1890. Considering the number of extra
trains and the great speed of through
trains the record is remarkable. and
wholly credi.able To the management
OF the railroads.

latter placed upon bill to erect pub

have fine public library, a town hail
that is a gem of architecture and other

workers in congress, but lie never
worked harder tor anything than
he did for the bill authorizing
the supervising architect to expend
$4,000 III the erection of post
office there. A few days after it
passed he he ard that the president was

president thought it extravagant to
spend $4,000 for a public building in a
little town where there was nobody to
occupy it except the postmaster, who
was already located in convenient
and comm0dious building at rental of
$500 year. The interest on $4,000 at
per cent would be $4,000. which was ten
times as much as the rent now being
paid.

did not think that lie would tie mean
enough to veto bill for such reason
as that. Why doesn't he leave the re-

HALFWAY REFORMS

IA Disguised Farmer" writes to the
GLOBE from Faribault, asking: "Was
it worth the strife and turmoil of the
last election to get the miserable excuse
of tariff reform bill that this admins
tration is likely to give the people?"
The answer has been often given in
these columns. The GLOBE recognizes
the insufficiency of the reform proposed
by the pending tariff bill. and admits
that in many of its details the measure
is worse than that which it is designed
to supersede. But it seems to be the
best that can be secured under existing
circumstances. The tariff robbers are
too firmly en1renched behind the bull
warks erected for them by the Repub-
licaD party to he overcome Immediately.
Besides, there are traitors in our own
camp. Many congressman who were
elected on platform pledged to tariff
reform have proved to be willing tools
in the hands of projections monopolies.
They have cast their ante-election
promises to the winds, and, regardless
of the expressed commands of their
constituents. are now doing the bidding
of those whose interests are best served
by policies that are undemocratlc, un-
American and unjust. The GLOBE has
not hesitated to denounce these traitors
to the cause of good government; it has
never ceased to cry aloud for such re-
form in our tariff system as was de-
manded by the Chicago platform. But
appeals and protests have alike been in
vain, and we are not likely to realize
what we had right to expect from the
overwhelming popular Endorsement of
the Democratic party by the people.
But while protesting against being
offered stone alter asking for. bread,
