BOLIVIA KICKS AND SOUTHERN CON-

SAID so.
| 1t is said that aside from the OPP
position made to the confirmation of
Charles H. J. Taylor, as minister to
Bolivia, by Southern members, the
nomination is antagonized by the
representatives of the government to
which it is proposed to accredit him.
The Bolivian legation in Washington
is understood to have conveyed to
the Senate committee having the
nomination in charge strong init
nation that the government of b.
livia does not desire to receive him.
Taylor says that he was not candi-
date for Bolivia, and that the Presi-
dent himself selected the place for
him. He asked for a mission, but
did not specify to which country he
desired to go, Friends of the Pres
ident say that when Mr.. Cleveland
examined the papers he found letters
from hundreds of the most prominent
Democrats, North, East and South
indorsing Taylor for mission in
terms so strong that he could not
resist the conviction that there really
existed desire in the Democratic
party to see this representative of
the colored race given high posi-
ton in the foreign service, and upon
this conviction selected the Bolivian
mission for him. Washington Post.
RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
Are growing more frequent every
day.
Why?
Because the Corporations are
working their men to death.
The human machine is not made
of iron. 1t has its limitations. When
you require more work Of man
than nature ever intended, he gives
out.
An engineer who is compelled to
work sixteen hours on stretch, col
lapses. The conductor who has to
run every night and part of every
day, and who has to do the work of
a train hand in addition to the work
of conductor, will soon get into a
condition which renders him incapa-
BILE of performing the best service.
The cutting down Of tram crews,
the frightening Of the hours of SER
vice, the putting Of additional work
upon each employee, brings about
state of things in which accidents
are sure to increase.
Then, again, the engines, cars aid
road bed are all allowed to run down
and the trains become more difficult
to manage. This is no fancy sketch
We have been over every Railroad
\ In Georgia this summer, and we have
, been greatly impressed by these facts
What brings about this ruinous
situation?
, The ravenous greed of the Wall
street spectators who thirst for divi-
> dends upon watered stock. Where
5 ever a passenger or train-hand IL
killed in wreck caused by the con
ditions we have mentioned, it is {
} clear case of murder, and such mer
> as Gould, Vanderbilt, Brice, Thomas
Calhoun and the balance of the gang
ought to be held responsible for it
In no other country but ours would
e Railroad Corporations be allowed tC
D treat their men in this way.
s The only remedy lies in Govern
ment ownership.
S CONGRESS
Is still grinding out chm music. TIL
0 Senate is debating Silver, and tn
House is talking about frazzled AM
t decayed scare-crow called the "Forc
Bill. The empty seats are bein!
t bombarded with some very fine ora
:. tory upon these two questions.
