them about town. Marshal Moore went
I'D to his home and told him he would
either have to return the suit or go to
Jail. At first he denied having it, but
when threatened with being locked up
he produced the suit.

Although American railroads are SUI
perior to those Of England in many
WAYS. we might learn a wholesome les
son from our English cousins in the
matter Of preventing accidents. Eng
Nsh railroad tracks are securely fenced
In and persons trespassing on them
are severely punished by law. In a
country where. as is the case in Eng
land. the average population TO the
square mile is so much larger than
with us an immense number Of fatal
accidents are thereby averted.
Just how many persons are killed
and injured every year by recklessly
exposing themselves upon railroad
property in the United States it would
be difficult to determine accurately;
but the victims must number many
thousands. Statistics recently pub
lished in England show that the total
fatalities to trespassers upon the do
main OF the iron horse in the United
Kingdom in 1894 numbered only 2S3
while 1877 persons were injured. In re-
gard TO railroad employees, who met
death in the performance Of their duty,
tie number was 47S-an increase Of %
Ger the preceding year. This death
r-,e was highest among the track lay
a-.. after whom in order Of fatality
come pOrters, brakemen and freight
conductors. With respect to passen-
gers. however, the fatalities showed a
reduction Of one, while the number Of
cases Of injuries was very largely di-
minished. OF the III deaths recorded
under this heading only 16 were due to
accidents 70 trains, rolling stock or

PorTERY ANp THE rARIFF.

It will be remembered that when the
Wilson bill was before Congress the pot
ters were badly frightened, or pretend
ed to be. at the proposed reduction from
50 per cent. in the Mckinley bill to 80
in the Wilson bill and they actually re-
duced wages in advance on the ground
that the threat was as bad as the act
ual reduction.
In spite Of these protests, however,
the duties on pottery We're reduced to
an average Of 80 per cent, which with
the cost Of transporting heavy articles
of this description was deemed quite
sufficient protection" The working
potters, by the way, were by no means
as hostile to a reduction of duties as
we're their employers, for they had seen
trade depressed and wages reduced I'M
der the highest protective duties. But
after the new tariff went into operation
the manufacturers of earthenware were
among the first to feel the new breath
of industrial revival and to announce an
advance of wages. And the other day
came cheerful announcement from
Trenton that the manufacturers have
made another advance in wages of not
less than 20 per cent.
The theories of McKinleyism and the
predictions Of the calamity howlers
have been alike disgraced. While the
domestic trade in pottery has recovered
from its depression and alarm in the
midst Of a general industrial revival,
the spectre Of foreign competition has
not reared its head Workingmen who
had been defrauded of their votes by
the arrant pretense that low duties
cause low wages open their eyes to see
opportunities for employment increase
and wages rise under a tariff that had
been denounced from one end of the
land to the other as the ruin of Ameri-
can industry. Manufacturers in all de-
| partments hail the gladstone dawn OF
new industrial epoch; and yet there are
politicians who dream of a restoration
Oh McKinleyisml They have only to
look around in the centres of industrial
activity to convince themselves that the
tarif is dead issue and a lost cause.
The manufacturers and workingmen Of
the United States viii lot tolerate any
party that shall threaten in any way
to interrupt the era Of prosperity by
agitation Of the tariff; and the sooner
the Republican politicians shall recog-
uize this the better it will be for their
party and for the country.

Yesterday afternoon about 8 o'clock,
Albert Hasenauer, 13-year-old boy,
who is employed at McElroy's phar
macy at No. 3746 Jacob street, while
on his way to attend to an errand, was
bitten on the thigh by dog, at Thirty

walking along the street. The cash is
a very severe one. He was taken to

The failure Of the Republican club
bers to make a declaration on the cur
rency question is cited as victory for
the silverites in the 6. o. p. who though
in the minority, were masters OF the
convention. Sound money is the issue
on which the next presidential contest
will be fought. and the Republican
party has lost a great opportunity to
strengthen itself.

VOLUNTARILY ADVANCING WAGES.


The notable advance in wages which
the employers Of not less than a quar-
ter Of a million wage earners have vol
UNFAIRLY made within a few months
speaks volumes, as the Boston Globe
puts it, for the feeling of regard and
good will which prevails in multitudin-
Gus instances between American capital
and labor
Such a significant fact as this in
crease in pay. coinicident with the revi-
val in mining and manufacturing
throughout the country, cannot fail TO
be appreciated at It's true value by the
public. One seldom reads Of strikes and
lock-Outs. They are the rare exception
these days
As business continues its onward
march, developing new industries al
most every day, those corporation man
ayers who look upon labor as machin-
cry to be run at highest speed and low
est cost viii find themselves left hope
lessly in the rear.
'IJ pays" in every sense Of the world
to promote friendliness and a spirit Of
mutual confidence and respect between
employer and employee.

matter last night, he said that shoes in
all grades had advanced on an average
of about thirty-three per cent, and
that the indications were that they
would go much higher. The primary
cause of the advance is attributed to

his hand ready for instant use, and
when they are used 1t is quietly and in
order, as an organist pulls out his
stops The noise in the cab makes con-
versation difficult, but is not as bad as
that heard in a car when passing an
other train, with or without the win
dows open, and in looking out of the
engine cab the objects are approached
gradually, not rushed past as when
one looks laterally out of a parlor car
window. The fact is the engineer does
not look at the side-he is looking
ahead and therefore the speed seems
less, as the objects are approached
gradually.
Those who have ridden at ninety
miles an hour on locomotive know
that ON a good road (and there are
many such) the engine is not shaken
and swayed in terrific manner" burt
is rather comfortable. and the speed is
not so apparent as when one is riding
in parlor car, where only q lateral
view is had. The engineer can be very
comfortable if he is quite sure of the
track ahead, and it is only in rounding
curves or in approaching crossings that
he feels nervous, and it is doubtful If il
is any more strain to run a locomotive
at high speed than to ride a bicycle
through crowded thoroughfares. Judg-
| ing by the countenances of the bicycle
rider and the engineer, the engineer has
rather the best of it. ,N
