CASUALTIES ON RAILWAYS.

The exhiiit III the annual report of tie
Interstate Commerce Commission of the
number of killed and injured railway en-
ployes during the last fiscal year points t.
the necessity OF the passage OF an employ
ers' liability law. Nearly $4,000 men
were injured, an increase of 2,274 over
the preceding year. By far the larger
number ofthese, it would be found upon in
yestigation. sustained their hurts in coup
ling cars, provided with the old-fashioned
link and pin, instead OF the modern auto
matte coupler. 1t is true that few COM
Eauies have altogether substituted tile lat
ter for the more Anticipated eontrivancc,
but link and pin re still in vogue on the
ma iority offreight carsinthec country. With
such companies 1t is n. after of parsimony..
They shun the expense that must be in
CURED in making the change, and count
the lives or limbs of their employees less
costly than the purchase of a mechanical
contriyance which would reduce these
casualties to mere fraction Of their pres
ent number. There is little doubt but that
a considerable percentage OF the deaths
of railroad employees is attributable to the
same cause.
IN many cases, of course, the death or
injury OF the employe is due to his own
careiessness, but generally to the inferior
mechanism Of the freight cars. II the
railroad companies were made liable to
the injured employe or to his family in
the event OF his death, it is quite probable
that they would make haste to equip their
cars with coupler which would be less
of manslayer than the old link and pin
''Railroading' is hazardous business at the
best, and it is not asking too much that
the companies shall give reasonable pro
lection TO their employees against serious
injury or death.
In relation to the safety Of passengers
the conditions might also be made more
favorable 1t has been shown, forinstance,
that the sleeping cars, because of their
more solid construction, are far less liable
to injury ip case Of a collision or derail.
ment than the ordinary passenger coaches
It has also been demonstrated that vesti
buled cars do not telescope readily when
a collision occurs. Here, then, are two
features which would give passengers
greater security Of life andlim This ques-
ton, OF course, also reyolves around the
crucial point of expense. but such outlay
as would be the means Of reducing caslI-
alties to the minimum should not be stunned
by the railroad companies, and, Unnecessary,
forced upon them.

cossuMpTroN OF WATER.

The annual report of Capt. Gaillard, en-
gincerin charge ofth e Washin gton Aqueduct,
makes interesting reading 1t slows among
other things that the consumption OF water
is greatest during lie hours OF l TO o p.
IN, when people use less water than early
in tie morning or later in the evening. This
Is evidence that th c charge OF wasting water
does not lie againstthc private citizens, WHO
are so frequently warned against 1T, but
that the guilty parties are the government
departments, where immense quantities are
used and misused, but which are absolyed
from the payment OF water rents. 1t is
comforting to be informed by Capt. Gaillard
that the raising of the Georgetown dam
Will largely increase the supply, but lie also
states that there will still remain de-
ficieDcy so long as the Lydecker tunnel and
the Howard University reservoir cannot lie
brought into service, and recommends an
appropriation sufficient to complete both.
Ever since the Aqueduct was first
constructed there has been this howl about
the incfriciency of the water supply, andthe
worst of it i'd that tie howl was always
justified by the facts. Through what
process OF reasoning this penny-wise- pound
foolish policy has been pursued il would be
difficult to surmise, but 1t seems TO have
become so firmly ingrained as TO even now
| dominate the management and work re-
| laiing to the cit VS. water supply. There are
| indications of change, and the hope may
perchance be indulged that in 10 the
dwcllers in Washington will have cause to
wonder why we fin de steele fellows always
made SO much fuss about the scarcity of
water,

PrRLIc BATHs.

In spiri, of liberality Congress at the
last session appropriated $4,000 for
converting the inside basin of the Potomac
flats into a swimming pool. This amount,
OF course, is not sufficient for the purpose.
and Mr.. Stevens, the superintendent or the
bathing beach, has requested the Commits
sioners TO ascertain what, il anything. the
War Department can or will do to help

CARNEGIE FOR SOUND MONEY
Rather Would Have That Than Pro

lection and Free Silver.
Louisville, Ky, July 81 Sonnet two months
or SO ago an interview with Mr.. Carnegie
appeared in the Iron Age, in which the
great protectionist took strong grounds
agaiDst the free silver craze, sa ying that he
would rather have free trade and sound
money than protection and free silver.
Capt. George G. Norton of this city wrote
Mr. Carnegie congratulatory letter, in
which, however, he suggested that Mr..
Carnegie ought to suggest to his party that
they should disapproye the wanton extrava-
gaDce OF the liver and harbor bill. His re-

danger in the line OF excessive expenditure.
The pensions are the great charge, and
these win now rapidly lessen. The amount
we spend upon harbors and rivers, in my

= DIToR F. RICHARDSON, of At

tary Hoke Smith for the past
Few days. Mr.. Richardson is well known
IN Washington, having been the Constitu-
tons correspondent here for eight years.
lie Is now editor-in-chier of Secretary
Smiths Journal
1t is surmsed that he is here to consult
with the Secretary in regard TO the policy
OF the paper during the approaching cam

that are so near the throne, his utter
inces are important, and to consider
able degree he may be said to voice the
sentiments of the administration toward
the Democratic candidate and platform.
Speaking 70 Times reporter OF the
political situation in the South, and es-
peciaily in Georgia, Mr.. Richardson said:
The Journal has as yet taken no de-
ciied stand one way or the other toward
the Chicago convention. 1t has been
strictly neutral and in u measure ignored

Is coming out Tor Bryan; there Is 10
doubt about that, and the Georgia Dem

asi lie from this issue to be considered which

Il do not think there will be third

falling in line for Bryan, ard the Journal
will be one Of them, not on account of silver,

English are much slower than the Ameri

they still make great use of the old tram

custom of the railway companies to buy
their horses in scotland and on the CONT

they can get better and cheaper horses on
