SAFETY APPLIANCES.

The interstate commerce commits
sion has decided to grant the railroads
q two-years' extension Of time in which
to comply with the provisions of the
safety appliance act of March ,, 1888
Many railroads have equipped their
cars with these appliances, and many
have not. The four years since the act
requiring them to do so have been
years Of depression in business, when
any expenditure for any purpose was
like drawing the very life blood, and
no doubt this has had something to do
with the neglect of the roads to com
ply with the provisions OF the act; and
no doubt some roads have taken ad-
vantage OF the depressed condition of
business generally not to do anything
when they We're really not suffering as
much as they would have people be
lieve.
To equip cars with safety appliances
means q tremendous expense to any
read, and the roads naturally hesitate
to incur it. While many roads have
been very negligent in this matter, the
commission exercised it's authority to
extend the time in which compliance
with the terms of the act must be made
in very conservative way. The rail-
roads generally wanted five years,
while the representatives of the rail-
road employees wanted year fixed as
the limit: two years time was given.
If all cars are fixed with safety appli-
ances in that time, it will be a blessing
to all whose work is on railroads. If
they are not, then some very decisive
measures should be taken to have
them supplied without any further ex-
tension of time.

PUBLISH THE PENSION LISTS.

The Washington correspondent of a

pressed for passage this session provid-
ing for the publication of list Of per
soGs now drawing pensions from the
United States. for the purpose Of sub

| ultimate object is to secure criticism
and information concerning those
whose names viii appear. There are
tens Of thousands of persons drawing
pensions Who are not entitled to them.
and have obtaired them by fraud. al
though it is difficult to prove it. says
this correspondent, and il a list of the
names Of pensioners in every county
or township was posted in a conspicu-
Gus place with q brief statement of the
military Service claimed, the amount
Of the pension and the reason why it
was granted. it would doubtless bring
/ down upon the commissioner in wash
ington voluntary evidence from neigh
hors and former comrades of the great
est value. while there is no good rea-
son why the pension list should not
be made public. A pension is a badge
Of honor, reward for patriotism and
faithful military service, and its value
is very much reduced in the mind Of
every honest citizen when it is enjoyed
by unworthy men. and is conferred
upon those who have DO title to it.
If the pension list should be publish
ed as proposed, the revelation would
cause establishment in every commu-
nifty, he continues. 1t would expose
thousands OF impostors and men who
performed no military service or so
little that they would not be able to
face their former comrades. Every now
and then the agents of the pension bu-

eau stumble over cases in which men
who performed little or no service dur
ing the war have been awarded honors
which none but crippled veterans are
entitled to. and others who are in i'll
health or are disabled are receiving
credit and compensation for disabilities
than can in no way be attributed to
their military service. This movement
was not proposed by civilians or enc
mics of the pension system. It is backed
by the Loyal Legion and members of
the Grand Army of the Republic. who
feel pride in their pensions. and are
determined to do all they can TO drive
the frauds out of the pension Office,
just as they drove them out of the
camps during the war.
BY all means let such list be pub
lished and revised each year. That
there are many cheats and swindlers
on the list there is no doubt, and they
should be gotten of: perhaps this plan
to publish lists of pensioners would do
as much or more than anything else
to purge the rolls Instead of the pen
sion rolls growing smaller year by
year, they grow larger and no one can
say when this increase will cease. 1t
is % years since the war closed, ard
ii is a strange thing that the pension
list does not decrease. There is no
one who would deprive any person
justly entitled to a pension of it, but
advantage of this feeling of regard and
honor for the veterans has been played
upon and taken advantage of. BY all
means let the pension lists be pub

The late Judge Bean of Richfield was

came Toas Utes from near the Mexican
border. Judge Bean and the late
Bishop Thurber were the interpreters,
but neither understood the Toas Ian
guage. How to solve the difficulty was
an important question. A happy idea
struck Judge Bean. He thought the
Toas, being from so near the Mexican
line. might understand Spanish, and so
he addressed them in that language.

guage and conversation between them
and the Judge went merry as a mar
rage bell. He had solved a difficulty

TO CINCH COAL DEALERS.
Federal Proceedings Against Cali
fornia Combine.

Washington, Dec 1O.-The attorney
general today directed United States
Attorney Foote, at San Francisco, to
file bill in equity against the coal
dealers of California, for violation of
the antitrust law of 1890.
1t is said the association is composed
Of retail dealers of San Francisco, and
has for its object the control of the
coal business. The constitution and
bylaws, which have been under exam
ination for some time in the depart
ment of justice, are said to disclose the
fact that members are bound under Sc
we're penalties not to sell coal at a less
price than is fixed by the association,
and otherwise to observe all of its
rules. Wholesale dealers in Washing
ton, Oregon and British Columbia are
said to have entered into an agree
ment with the association, under which
any violation of the rules, including
the sale OF coal under card rates, re-
ported to them, would be punished by
an Increase in the wholesale rate to
such offenders of 50 ton, or q refusal
to sell to them except at the prices
charged consumers.
There are said to be other considera-
lions imposed upon members, which,
it is alleged, clearly brings the associa-
ton within the provisions of the law
against associations or combinations
formed. with the view of restraint of
trade or commerce.

II seems that a great many money

1t is thought the amount may reach

language was more pointed and polished
