ACCIDENTS ON RAILROADS

Not only so far as the convenience
and comfort of passengers are con-
cerned, but also in their general man
agement, our American railroads are
vastly superior to those of Great Bit
ain. In one respect, however, we might
learn a wholesome lesson from the
methods Of conducting the latter. and
that is from the stringent laws in force
in England against tresspasSinS upon
the railroad tracks. These in the mother
country are securely fenced IN, and
swift punishment is dealt out to any
person who shall defy the law by
treSpassing thereupon. In a country
where, as is the case in England, the
average population 10 the square mile
is so much larger than with, us an I'M
mense number of fatal accidents are
thereby averted.
Just how many persons are killed and
injured every year by recklessly expos
ing themselves upon railroad property
in the United States it would be diff
ficult TO determine accurately; but the
Statistics recently published in Eng
land show that the total fatalities to
treSpaSSerS upon the domain of the
iron horse in the United Kingdom in
1891 numbered only 2S3, while 49, per-
sons were injured. In regard to rail
road employees, who met death in the
performance of their duty, the number
was 473-an increase of 23 over the pre-
ceding year. This death rate was
highest among the track-layers, after
whom in order of fatality come porters,
brakemen and freight conductors.
With respect to passengers, however,
the fatalities showed a reduction of
one, while the number of, cases Of in
juries was very largely diminished.
OF the III deaths recorded under this
heading only sixteen were due to acct
dents to trains, rolling stock or perma-
nent way, by far the greater number Of
deaths having been caused by persons
falling between trains and platforms.
The total number of those who We're
killed, from all causes, upon the British
railroads last year was Ills, against
APO persons more or less seriously in
jured-an increase as compared with
the previous year of 104 in the former
case, but Of only eleven in the latter.
When our much greater mileage, the
larger number of cur railroad officials
and the superior number of our pOpu-
lation are taken into account there is
nothing very extraordinary about these
latter figures. In fact, our showing is
prOpOrtiOnately good, if not altogether
better. But it is none the less true that
if the accidents to trespassers on rail
road property in this country could be
computed with any degree of accuracy
the number would be found to be out
of all proportion to the 2S3 with which
Over-crOwded Britain credits herself;
and future statistics are not likely to
improve the matter until foolhardy in
dividualS can be induced to abstain
from recklesSly exposing themselves
upon railroad property.

A BALLAD OF FORGOTTEN LOVES

Some poets sing of sweethear<s dead,
Some sing of true loves far away.
Some sing of those that others wed,
And some of idols turned 10 clay;
/ sing a pensive roundelay
To sweetheartS of doubtful lot,
The passions vanished in day,
The little loves that I've forgot.
For, as the happy years have sped.
And golden dreams have changed to gray.
How oft the flame of love was fed
BY glance or smile from Maud or May,
When Maynard Cupid was at play;
Mere fancies, formed of who knows what?
But still my debt ne'er can pay.
The little loves that I've forgot.
o joyous hours forever fed,
o sudden hopes that would not stay!
Held only by the slender thread
OF memory that's all astray;
Their very names / cannot say.
Times will is done; know them not;
But blessings on them ALL pray,
The little loves that I've forgot.
ENVOI.
Sweetheart, why foolish fears betray?
Ours is the one true lovers knot;
Note well the burden of my lay,
The little loves that I've forgot.

THE CORN DISEASE.

Just at this time of year it is i'm
possible for a man TO look upon the
west and say harsh things about it.
There is an enthusiasm that springs
gushing from the human breast at the
sight of the endless sweep of growing
corn. This is just as true OF the man
who lives among the corn as it is OF the
stranger who happens to pass by.
No man can come to Kansas today
and gaze upon these fields of corn and
consider their origin, the increase in
wealth from the planted grain to the
harvested ear, without feeling his soul
fill up with optimism and his lungs ex-
pand quickly to be in readiness to give
expression TO his hopes.
Talmage, the preacher, in passing
through Omaha the other day showed
in an interview with reporter for the
Bee that he had caught the corn en-
thusiasm. He said: Il desire to con-
graduate the people of the great west
upon the excellent prospects of boun-
tifui harvest this year. l have seen
the fields of Ohio, Indiana, Kansas,
Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois and feel
rejoiced that the yields will be the great
est in the history of the country. Par
ticularly am proud of Nebraska's corn
prospects. | am dOubly interested in
this state because 1 realize that only Il
few months ago we sent $50, 900 worth
of supplies and assistance from the east
to the drOuth sufferers of this maGnlti-
cent state. 1t is always to the interest
of true Christianity to feed the hungry
and deserving poor, because you can
not make good Christians with empty
stomachs. l believe in two kinds of
bread in such instances, the bread Of
the gospel and the bread Of food. Even
Christ realized that it was best to feed
the multitudes on loayeS and fishes be-
fore preaching to them.
"This talk about the country going
TO the dogs is foolish. God never in
augurated 4 failure. He made this
world and He will redeem it. The
world was started with a garden and
will end with one. The west has by no
means been fully developed. The vast
acreage of arid lands will be reclaimed
by irrigation and the resources of the
west and south in the near future will
give plenty Of opportunity to provide
idle men with employment and not
only restore prosperity, but make times
better than they ever were. No one
but man with the govt or dyspepsia
or enlargement Of the spleen will harp
on hard times now when big crop is
assured all over the country. There
are chronic grumblerS, however, who
are pessimists by birth and who would
complain if the heavens were raining
gold and silver"

THAT MINISTER'S CONFESSION.

Rev Broadhurst'S extraordinary con-
| fession at Arkansas iCty. Kan, raises
| an interesting mental question. This
reverend gentleman was found in a
compromising position with a member
of his flock. The fact was published.
Thereupon, without beating about the
bush in the least, Rev. Broadhurst
comes out in a confession and allows
it to be published, or rather requests
its publication. In this confession he
acknowledges the particular and spec
life fault; declares that it is his first
mis-step in that direction after twenty
one years in the Methodist church, and
after resisting thousands of tempta-
tons.
This confession is peculiar. AS a
question of policy it has but one side.
AS confession it will do Broadhurst
great deal of good personally. He
might have fought the accusation,
knowing it to be true. He might have
declared it false without taking legal
action against his slanderers. He
might even have satisfied a large part
of the community that the charges
were untrue. He might have outlived
the evil reputation among those who
believed it. But if he were a con-
scientious man, the truth of the charge
would have weighed upon him and
caused him great mental woe, a woe
much keener than the accusations of
his mental friends and neighbors, for
mans conscience is his nearest neigh
Dor. Ard then again in favor of the
confession it may be said that it is
better to acknowledge a thing and
have done with it than TO struggle
against it with falsehood for years.
Desperation is a kind of hope.
This is looking on the matter from
the selfish standpoint of the reverend
gentleman. There is another side,
bigger side. a more serious side to the
matter. What effect does the mans
confession have on the woman with
whom he is guilty: Was that confess
sion fair TO her? Was it not his duty
to endure suffering and SANDER to pro-
tect her name? The man is the guilty
party in almost all these cases but the
woman must stand the penalty. Rev.
Broadhurst must have known this pc
culiarity of the code of morality that
varies with the sexes. Denials might
have saved his partner or rather his
victim in sin some little thread or patch
of her reputation. But this confession
Of the minister, in which he has the
gigantic gall to palliate his own fault
by quoting his past record, in which he
besmutS womanhood by quoting the
number of his temptations as min
lister, in which he declares that "he"
was caught Eat last, this confession
wipes out at one blow the reputation
of the woman of whom he took advan-
tage.
The sleek minister can outlive the
sings and arrows of public report and
neighborhOod scandalmongers. But
the woman must go down in shame aud
disgrace.
That confession will do Broadhurst
no good. 1t will damn him through
life and rag behind the hearse when
he is dead, and mark his grave for the
SneerS of his survivors,

IS THERE A GOLD CORNER?

No nation in Europe goes to war
without the consent Of the RothSchilds.
How long will it be before America is
in the same fix? The treasury gold

word of the Messrs. ROthschilds, which
word is not in writing even but just
pledged to Mr.. Cleveland to the effect
that no farther raids should be made
