 900, 900 paid into the company's coffers No wonder that 65 per cent of our rail roads have defaultcd in tho last ten mOnthsl
 To carry these hosts of passengers and move these mountains of freight required 35, 900 locomotives, 32, 900 passenger cars and over 1000, OOO freight cars.
 Counting all second track sidinGs and yard tracks, there are more than 23O O0O miles of tracks in tho country. The ac- tual distance covered, however, is I76 46l miles. And, as for employment of men, that has been shown, though it might bc added here that every 100 miles of railroad give employment to 5l5 men.
 Accident statistics are cold facts which no road likes to have exploited. However, without mentioning any particular road, there were killed last year on our railroads ?, 727 employees and 290 passengers. The injured numbered 3l, 729 employees and S,22g passengers. One in every 32o men employed was killed and one in every 27 in jured. This Is pretty hard on employees. As far as passengers are concerned, how ever, 1t Is bad and deplorably unnecessary. But, considering the carelessness and reck- lessness of passengers, it might have been worse when one learns that for evory 2, 2,000, ,@so passengers carried the railroads killed only one and injured ten.

The Dr.Ss Suit Case.

The travelling bag known as the dress suit case Was, says the New York Her ald. originated about 3J years ago. For about 30 years it was used almost ex clusivcly for the purpose indicated by its name About five years ago it began to grow in favor as n bag for general use, and its sale as such has since in- creased rapidly. Its thinness made it easier to carry, and it was less wearing on the clothes of the person carrying it. Things packed well in it, and it was a convenient bag to stow under a berth in a sleeping car, and it commended it. self generally as an all around bag.
 It was said at q well known trunk and bag establishment that of all the travelling bags of that size now sold probably 90 per cent are dress suit cases Probably less than 10 per cent of these are bought for the exclusive carrying of dress suits. The large majority of them arc bought for use as regular travelling bags. They are made in various sizes and depths, the deeper ones being known as deep dress suit cases.

Hanging Shelves ard Brackets.

In designing hanging shelves. cabi- nets or brackets it is we'll to bear in mind that any weight put upon the shelves tends to pull the nail by which the whole concern is held out of the wall. If the shelf is deep. it may Do loaded to the edge, and thus exert a great leverage. It is we'll, therefore, to make the shelves as narrow as they can be and yet be serviceable. Again, the nearer the point of suspension is to tho shelf the greater the leverage exerted by the latter upon the nail or hook which supports it. It is best, then, to make q hanging cabinet tall and shallow, or. if another shape is required. at least to hang it from near the ceiling by long cords, says The Art Amateur.

I,~,,n,,v Make. n Hal, of Iron.

A remarkable discovery was recently made while workmcn were tearing down on old building at Budapest. When they removed the lightning rod, which had been erected some l5 years previous, a large mass of pure iron was found firm- ly attached to the lower end. The lump was porous as a sponge, but pure and very heavy, the piece, which was not moro than twice as largo as the average mans head, weighing 46 pounds. There Is but one way of accounting for the peculiar posi- ton of this ball of iron-it had been brought together and shaped by tho ac- ton of lightning on the iron particles in the clay

 NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Railroads in their organization arc like armies. Each has its generals, officers of the line and rank and file. The employees of the New York Central railroad alone comprise body as large as Uncle Sam's regular army, and the aggrcgate number of em- ployecs of all the roads in the United States is as large as the standing army of Germany. This means that the 1,S S90 rail roads in the United States employ 900, 900 men, and that one person in every 90 of our population depends for livelihood on a railroad.
 Each of these ,S90 railroads is organ ized and managed on the same general plan. Each is divided into eight general departments in command of corporate off cers of the company. In the case of the New York Central, for instance, the de-

-"Lakes Contagion." Is the sppeIIation a local physician applies to q couple of stagnant pools of water in this section of the town.
 Simon street and Washington avenue. the latter from the Washington avenue bridge to South Riverside street, are in a shocking condition to-day. it being almost impossible for pedestrians to pass through elther thoroughfare. The storm water has risen Co a height of several inches over most parts of the road bed and the whole place is one cesspool of sand end water.
 There is every indi cation that the ir-- struction at the evening school in the Bank street building will have a large at- tendance during the winter season. The attendance at present is good and several others are arranging to commence next week Every one who can spare the time should take advantage of thIs opportunity. Quite good many young men and women who are filling clerical positions in Water bury to-day acquired their fitness for the duties of these positians in the evening schools. There Is no reason why others cannot make the same headway. No one should be detorred from attending the evening schools because they think that their knowledge of the different branches of study is so imperfect that thes might be criticized by those in charge or others who have been more fortunate in securing a liberal education early in life. There is no danger of criticism from thIs source. for if there is a pupil in the school to which the teacher pays more attention than the rest it is the one who has been neglected in the past and is laboring in dustriously to retrieve lost ground.

DON'T GO.

Whatever may be charged to the
treasury department for its policy of
occasionally issuing bonds and thus
increasing the public debt and the
consequent burden of taxation, the
policy pursued in the collection of
customs is next to idiotic. Read
from Dun's Review:
Duties paid here this week amounted
to $1,724, G07.41, as follows: Checks,
$1,272,2S1.41; silver certificates, S172,-
200; treasury notes, $147,45O; legal ten
ders, $l39,950; silver, $3.50; gold GER
titicates, $40; gold, $3.50. The usual
ten-day statement shows receipts of sill
yer certificates as 59.4 per cent.
In the collection of customs the
government accepts anything that
bears the stamp of money-anything
that looks like money In discharge
ing public debts, Carlisle pays gold.
He does this because the public dis
eliminates in favor of that metal.
But instead of demanding gold in
payment of customs the treasury
takes anything from rags to sheep
pelts, and then wonders why the
gold reserve doesn't hold out.
1t is like plugging up the fount-
ain of a we'll and wondering why the
water doesn't hold out. When the
people discriminate unjustly in favor
of gold, let the government act like
wise.
The country is soon to be burden
ed with another bond issue. The
gold reserve has fallen off almost
half of its usual amount. There is
no excuse for another bond issue.
Less than half of one per cent of the
duties are paid in gold. Even in a
back-woods faro game Carlisle might
catch a pointer from the placard,
"Markers don't 90 here"

AN intelligent newspaper mar
hits the rooster square On the head
when he says: Patronize the mer-
chant who advertises. You do not
visit your neighbors unless asked to
call, and you do not attend a party
or wedding without an invitations;
then why should you intrude on the
privacy of a stoorkeeper without an
invitation? His goods are old, shelf
worn and out of style. Give him a
wide berth and buy of the live bust
ness man who not only invites you
to come and see him every day, but
educates and keeps you posted as to
what is new and popular in his line
of goods. Advertisements and adj
vertisers are the greatest educators
of the age, and he who never reads
advertisement lives in the back
woods, fastens his suspenders with a
single nail, and has not had a shave
or hair cut since Jackson licked the
blooming British at New Orleans.

The republican county committees of
the several counties in the state will pro-
coed to call county conventions as usual
and elect delegates and alternate dele
gates to said state convention as above
apportioned.
The basis of representation and appor-
tionment for the county conventions will
be fixed by the county central commit
tees.
In the matter of nominating candi-
dates of the several judicial districts,
should there be any nominations to be
made at this time, the committee recon-
mends that in all cases where the dist
riot is limited to one county, the regular
county convention make the nomination
at the same time it dominates candidates
for all other county offices. In other
cases where the district is composed of
more than one county, let the delegates
to the state convention from the coun,
ties comprising a district meet at the
time and place of the state convention
and there agree upon and make the
nominations for same, being guided by
such instructions, if any, as have been
gwen ~ thCll IcSpcCtlNc county CoIl-
ventions. The same rule to apply in the
case of joint representatives in the state
legislature.
The following rules have been adopted
for the government of republican state
conventions in Montana and are now in
force:
"First-Delegates and alternate dele
gates shall be elected in future to state
conventions, and in the event of II fail
IRE of a delegate to attend, the alternate
delegate shall cast the vote of the dele
gate whose alternate he is.
Second-In the absence of the dele
gate and his alternate, a majority of the
delegation from that county shall cast
the vote of the absentee.
Third-In the absence of all the dele
gates and alternate delegates from any
county, no vote shall be cast for such
county.
Fourth-In the county in which the
state convention shall be held, when any
delegate or his alternate delegate are
absent, there shall be no vote cast i'm
their behalf.
Ffth-Delegates and alternate dele
gates must be republican residents of the
county which they represent"

mittee,

A Fact.

River Press: According to a
recent bulletin of the treasury de-
partment, the national debt of the
United States on July LIST was ST.
O16,OOO,O 900, which is an increase of
some fifty millions of dollars over
the amount Of national indebtedness
II year ago. This showing forms
an effective answer to democratic
charges against republican financial
management during the last thirty
years. In 1866, after the payment
of obligations due to the civil war,
the national debt stood at somewhere
near three billion dollars, and since
that time, under republican laws and
methods of taxation, nearly two
thirds of the amount was cancelled.
All collected above the
running expenses of the government
were applied to the payment of this
immense debt, and such a course
was characterized by the democracy
as ~'wasting the surplus" We be-
lieve that the public generally
honest minded citizens of both poll
tisal parties-would prefer to see a
sulplus wasted in this direction
rather than a monthly deficit which
increased the debt owe fifty million
dollars in twelve months.

THE TWO ROTTEN PLANKS.

There are a great many men in
Montana, formerly republicans and
democrats who that the old
parties have never done anything for
silver, and so reason that it is better
to join the populist cause. In so de-
Gliding there is certainly a lack of
knowledge as to the exact economic
position the populists hold.
Ignatius Donnelly, Jeremiah Simp-
son and James b. Weaver are lead
ers of the populist party. We say
they are II leaders of the party.
If the populists had to nominate a
candidate for the presidency tomor-
row they would nominate one of
these three, with a ten-to-one bet on
the irst-named.
We have never seen where any of
these men ever announced himself
as beng what we understand to be
a silver man. Mr.. Simpson less than
two years ago introduced a bill in
congress to demonetize both gold
and silver. He also introduced ano-
Their bill for the coinage of s20,O0O,-
coo of aluminium into dollars. He
is a farmers alliance hero who would
print money adj infnitum to lend to
everybody at 2 percent per annum
Donnelly is not a silver man. At
the Des Moines silver conference he
struck a theatrical attitude while he
liberated the following brilliant
thought: 81 hope the day will come
when all the silver and gold of the
world will be dumped into the bot
tom of the sea, and all money bust
ness will be transacted on paper.
Promises to pay, with no fund to re-
ueem tneln.
Mr.. Weaver is of the same polite
al school as Simpson. Both are nat
ural born and finely cultured green
hackers. They believe that when a
man gets in a tight place the gov
eminent should lend him all the
money he needs, on such securities
as he a offer. This is a populist
heresy, a political dogma to which all
their leaders are pledged.
Then the populist platform calls
for free trade. The experience. Of
this country has been that it has
not mines enough to supply its peo-
pie with money. Now if our ports
are to be thrown open to foreign
trade, and thus our wage earners
made to compete with the wage
earners of Europe, there could not
be enough money taken, with silver
fully remonetlzcd to keep the count.
ry going for five years, or to save il

lists stand together and upon that is.

and for the transaction of such other
business relating to the welfare of the
republican party in Montana as may be
brought before it.
Each county in the state will be en-

the following timely and tersely
phrased expression in the Butte In

"Should the present congress adj
iourn without passing a tariff bill
for the destruction of what is left of
American industries and the dis

following CONSPICUOUS achievements:
The repeal of the Sherman silver

American silver mines.
A reduction of 25 to so per cent
in the selling price of wool, copper
and lead.
The defeat, in one afternoon of
last August, of five free coinage
amendments offered by Bland in the
house where the democratic majority
was over eighty and where the
majority of the democrats in each
case voted against the amendment.
The panic of 1893, including the
failure of 1000 banks, the paralysis
of all business, the withdrawal of all
money from investment, wage re-

charge of labor and the greatest
strike known for fifteen years.
The attempted restoration of

The positive refusal Of the presi-
