With great presence OF mind the At
lantic City authorities made haste to ar
rest the mar in the signal tower. Then,
IT may be supposed. a sweet calm settled
on the official mind. and 1t was possible
to so on with the work Of dragging
human remains out OF the frightful rail-
road wreck.
The signals stood Just as the man In
the tower had placed them, and his
Judgment was right in placing them
where he did. II the Reading express
had pulled up, us 1t was sIgnaled to do,
there would have been no horror ut that
crossing. But the probability is that
the Reading express was going so fast
at that point that by the time the en-
ginser saw the signal and caught Its
meaning he was intn the excursion train.
Ths-amnzInS feature OF the disaster Is
that 1t could happen. Though New Jcr-
sey has M law to compel a fur stop at
all crossings, it Is strange that either
railroad company has been willing to
run the risk. Both ran the risk and ran
their trains owe hat crossing at a high
rate OF Speed. sometimes at a rate OF
more than n mile u minute. They were
advertising their speed and inviting the
public to take the chance Of getting to
Atlantic City In ninety minutes or to the
undiscovered country In less time.
The I'VE railroad companies are guilty.
But 1t Is hard to lock up two railroad
companies, quite easy to lock up the
man who was in the signal tower. Dis
asters OF this sort open the eyes OF the
people and set them to thinking. One
result Will be that at the particular
crossing In question no more human life
will be sacrificed for a few weeks. Mt
least.

The farmer should not let the silver
producer fool him. II Congress can
double the price OF silver by an act, why
not the price OF wheat? The whca, crop
of this country is Of much more Import
ancc than the silver product. There Is
more real merit In wheat than in silver
or gold,
The farmer a do better than TO help
the silver producer TO get two for one.
The firmcr can ask the government to
give him direct two Tor one. The farmer
has NJ need to 20 the round about way
OF the free silver man.

the farmer wants to double, let HIN
drive straight at that. While he Is
about 1t he may welcome, the free silver
folks to hclp'hIm. But they wouldn't
help. They arc not In the business for
their health nor for wheat. Srliishncss
Is their motto.

The AtchinSon, Topeka 6 Santa Fe
railroad extends from Chicago. on the
shores OF Lake Michigan. to the city Of
Guaymas, on the shores of the Gulf OF
California. in old Mexico. Its Mexican
extension begins at Rincon in New Mex
leo. and traverses that country Into the
territorysof Arizona. and thence across
that country into Mexico at n point
called Nogales.
The in which the company's
employees and laborers on hat line are
paid constitutes an object lesson. pccul-
iarly appropriate to these times. In
fact. 1t Is a free silver lesson worthy OF
the study OF every labor-r In. the United.
States. There is no theory about II, but
simply hard, practical matter Of fact
business.
The Santa Fc company pays all It's
laborers or this division at the rate Of
one dollar per day. It's paymastcr starts
out once n month from Rincon In his
a car. and to all Its laborGrs in New
Mexico and Arizona he dlspcnses TWEEN
ty-six or more dollars In American sill
yer money. which Is standard with gold
and worth 100 cents In the money OF the
! world. At Nogalcs. however. on the
b boundary line between Arizona and o.I
gMexica,t he begins to pay out another
kind of silver dollars. He converts the
American dollars in his pay chest Into
Mexican dollars. at the rate OF two for
oneSand these Mexican dollars he pays
out TO the Mexican employs of the CONF
pany between NoEalcJ and GuayinHs.
The contract calls for one dollar per
day, and 1t Is discharged by the payment
OF that aum In Mexican money. which IL
Just half the pay that the laborers. Id
Arizona and New Mcxleo receive for the
same work.
The Timcs-Hernld. OF Chicago, Is II

panIcs the statement with a broad map
shOwing the territory travcrsed by the
Santa Fe line In New Mexico, Arizona
and old Mexico. and the points at which
