A compilation of murder statistics
shows that in 1893 there We're 6,615 MUIR
ders committed in the United States,
while in 1894 there were $500. The ag-
gregate and the increase are both APP
paliing. but a still more startling fact
is that during the year 1894 only 1872 per-
sons were hanged In the United States.
The figures indicate an alarming in

administration Of law as prolific cause.

All the stories to the effect that the
Republicans in the House will not assist
the Democrats to pass somd-currency

support such a bill themselves.

If the New York Legislature passes. as
it is expected to, what is called the power
of removal bill, and a bill abol-
ishing the ponce justices and au-
thorizing the appointment of mag
istrates instead, it will place an i'm
mense patronage in Mayor Strong's hands.
The employees of the city number more
than seventeen thousand and its pay roll
amounts to about s1,OOo000 per month. At
present, the Mayors patronage amounts to
$780, 200 year, but if the laws above re-
ferred to are passed, they will give him the
direct appointment to offices whose sal
aries aggregate s1,737,oOo year. Among
these the city chamberlain, $4,000 a
year; corporation counsel, $4,000; four po-
lice commissioners, $1,000 each; three fire
commissioners, three commissioners of
charities and corrections. two health COM
mssioners, three dock commissioners and
three tax commissioners, each 5000 a
year; nine city magistrates $4,000 each; five
justices of general sessions, $4,000 each,
and so on. These departments employ in
the aggregate several thousand clerks.
Other departments that are expected to be
reorganized are the public administrators
office, with pay roll of $4,000: the Board
of Excise with a pay roll of s1S7,sOO; the
park department, with an office staff paid
$4,000; the department of docks, with an
office force receiving $4,000; the Board of
Assessors, with pay roll of $14,SO0; the
Board of Education, with pay roll for
clerks and superintendent of $77,764, and
the aqueduct commission, with a pay roll
for clerks and engineers of $117,000 Bearing
in mind that the city employees number
more than seventeen thousand, it will be
seen that the work of reorganizing the
government will be an enormous one and
the Maynr,s resnnn SihilitY very great.

falsehoods of hungry demagogues to be-
lieve that the railroads are great monop-
olies. out of which a few men become
millionaires from their earnings. The
fact that the entire net earnings of the
roads in 1892. the last year on record,
were considerably less than l per cent.
on the stock. and that two-thirds of the
stock received no dividend, refutes the
vaporfngs of such agitators. They should
also convince those well-meaning peo-
pie who are urging the theory of gov
eminent ownership and management for
the reason that IN countries where all
the conditions are most favorable for
cheap transportation and government
operation. the rates are more than 80
per cent higher than in the united
States.
The present sharp competition be-
tween through lines from the East to the
West has forced rates to so low figure
that they cause. in many cases, dis
ordinations against those in the inter-
ior who make the same goods as are
imported, but the passage of carefully
guarded pooling law will have a ten
dency to do away with that injustice
and otherwise be advantageous to local
traffic..

The passengers of the Adirondack
and st. Louis Railroad, in New York,
had a thrilling experience recently,
AS the train rounded a curve on a
heavy down grade, the engineer,
William Brassell, of Utica, saw 100
feet in front of him trestle, a
quarter of a mile long, enveloped in
flames. The flames were shooting 20
feet above the track. 1t was i'm
possible to stop the train before the
trestle was reached, With light
ning-like decision the engineer threw
the throttle wide open, The train
rushed swaying through the flames
and stopped safe on the other side,
Before it came to standstill the
burning trestle fell IN heap of
ruins on the rocks, 80 feet below,
There were seyenty-dve passengers
on the train.
