The fact that five out of the seven
men killed in the railroad accident on
the Wabash at Missouri City were
postal clerks who went down with
their car into the stream should re-
mind the public of the periIs to which
their service is exposed, 1t is a SER
vice to which the public has been so
long accustomed that it almost for
gets, until some such tragedy as that
at Missouri City occurs, that the fidel
ity of the postal clerks to their duty
involves their steady acceptance of
great risks. The postal car is always
at or near the head of the train. 1t is
practically locked and is most diff :
cult to escape from in case Of derail
ment or disaster. The number of
postal clerks who have died in their
duty, really ''killed in action,' would
make list that would startle the
business community, which too often
forgets what it owes to the United
States Railway Mail Service They
are very hard working men, and as
many neophyte has learned, they
have a good deal to do besides Grid
ing up and down in the cars. .''-Boston

Secretary Gage begins the new ds-
cal year in very cheerful frame of
mind and expresses with confidence
his belief that before it is many
months old it will have witnessed a
revival of activity that will give en-
ployment to all who are willing to
work. He points to the condition of
the treasury as one of the grounds Of
his belief, remarking that it has cash
balance of S137 200, 900 without touch
ing the 100000 900 gold reserve. The
gold reserve of the treasury is $141,
600, 900, or 80, 600, 900 more than year
ago today. Mr.. Gage says he does
not see a cloud in sight, but on the
contrary he perceives the assurance
of an early readiustment of our cur
rency system "upon basis more in
harmony with the most modern de-
velopment of monetary SCIENCE"
Such words coming from such man,
one who of necessity keeps in reserve
much of his proof of them, are full of
encouragement. How great is the
Importance attached to Mr.. Cages
opinion is evidenced by the prompt
ness with which his words are tele-
graphed to Europe, where they are
Immediately followed by a buying
movement in American securities.
We doubt not that the future will vim
dicate his prophecies. However much
the business community may dislike
the new tariff when once it has be-
come a law, the mere disposition of
everybody to try their fortunes under
it will give great impetus to trade.
Once the tariff out of the way all the
capital held in suspense will seek en-
ployment or investment and those
who would avoid the rush had better
line UP Exchange.

that Yale or Harvard must win and it
was quite a surprise to them to see
Cornell, after the first mile, leave
her competitors behind and easily
come ina winner. Harvard and
Yale, especially the, latter, have al
race, maintaining that she was out of
their class, but now they certainly
cannot say this and they should ac-
knowledge as much Let them ac-
cept the proposition which will
doubtless be made for them to meet
Cornell, Pennsylvania and Columbia
next year at some good place for such
race and try and win back their lost
laurels. ~

The steamer Alden, en- route from
Yokohama to London, was struck by a
lmonson with squalls, both long and
violent soon after starting out and
|was finally drove SO near shore that
she struck on the reefs on the eastern
coast of the island of Socotra. The
|Aden carried thirty four passengers.
Soon after the vessel struck on the
rocks the captain, some of the other
officers and several of the crew were
swept overheard and drowned. Eight
'of the women with nine of the chill
1dren, two officers and several of the
crew put off in one of the boats and
|tried to reach shore, but thus far they

The boat race between Yale. Har-
ward and Cornell, which was brought
off June 25th, resulted in victory for
Cornell; Yale was rather poor sec
ond and Harvard traiied eight lengths
behind the winner. Before the race
it had been hard for the experts to
settle on any one boat as winner,
although Harvard had been picked
by many to win the race, still Yale
was rowing in such form that all of
the supporters of the blue were will
ling to go deep into their pockets to
back their favorite. 1t was general
ly thought by the rowing experts

Up to the outbreak of the war be-
tween China and Japan English in
fuence was paramount at Pekin.
Now it has been superseded by a
diplomacy more cunning and deter
m1ned-the Russian. The represent
atives of the Czar succeeded in con-
vincing the Tsung-l Yamen that
Russian interests in Siberia were
Identical with those of China in her
border provinces. Hence the liberal
railroad and mining concessions
granted to Russians. Hence the re-
cent embassy which conveyed from
the Gear to the Emperor of China
presents filing forty eight large
cases and valued at 100000 rubles;
included in these, the grand Gordon
of the Order of st. Catherine for the
Empress. The head of this embassy,
Prince Uchtomsky, is the chairman
of the new Russo Chinese Bank which
has. been established in palatial
quarters in Pekin, and which include,
also, the offices of the Eastern Man
churian Railway, and the mansions of
its Russian president and Chinese
vice president. Here lavish hospi
tality will be dispensed, and the daz-
zled, delighted Celestials will be
wheedled into still larger conces-
sions.

ENGLAND'S NAVAL DLSPLA Y.

The great naval display that Eng
land made last week showed the
rest of Europe and obliged to watch
from nearly all quarters for those
who would seek to break up her
| power, that she is amply prepared to
ray of war vessels which she brought
together to celebrate the jubilee was
but part Of her monstrous navy.
She had large navy looking after
her interests in the Mediterranean
Sea, and also vessels distributed all
over the world wherever her interests
demanded. England's foreign policy,
carried out as strongly as it has been,
has obliged her to keep navy strong
enough to face any two nations COM
bined and she has succeeded in doing
this. Next to England in naval pow
er comes France, followed by Russia,
Italy, and then comes the United
States. It is doubtful if any combi
which could successfully cope with
England on the water; Englishmen
are great fighters and their navy is
officered by men who have made
naval warfare the study of their
lives, while the sailors are intelligent
men, and should the navies of Europe
ever meet the English navy in con-
fict they would find out that though
they might outnumber them in ships,
nevertheless the Englishmen would
give as good an account of them
selves as they did at Trafalgar, when
under Lord Nelson they met the
combined fleets of Francel and Spain,
and destroyed them. England's
policy of bullying smaller powers has
caused the hatred that is felt for her
in many places, while the large pow
ers of Europe, anxious as they are to
gain colonies in other parts, have
felt that unless something was done
to stop her progress she would seize
the points most wanted by them ard
once a foothold was gained would
never give them up. The stand that
this country took during President
Monroe's administration has put a
stop to England's hopes to gain colo
MES in South and Central America,
but she has gone into Africa and
done much to open up the country.
Wherever England goes she does
much to civilive the people; she in
PRODUCES the Christian religion and
helps to build up the people. That
England governs her colonies wisely
is shown by their fidelity to their
Queen. England's policy during our
Civil war caused many of the people
of this country to feel that she had
done all possible to break up the
Union, but it was the nobility of Eng
land which favored the South; the
working classes were for the North
everytime. 1t would please Europe
to see war between England and this
country but it is doubtful if they ever
will. If the two great English speak
ing nations of the world will go on as
they have been for the past twenty
five years, there is no doubt but that
they will continue to occupy the same
proud position which they now hold.

Although some of the tariff schedu-
les are causing considerable discus
sion in the Senate yet the bill is pro-
gressing as fast as could reasonably
be expected. There is an occasional
tilt between some of the senators
which affords much amusement for
their listeners.

have not been heard from and it is
supposed that. they were drowned.
The remainder of the passengers and
crew remained on the ship in hopes
of keeping alive until they were
sighted by some vessel. They were
carried off by the waves one by one;
several vessels were sighted but they
failed to notice the signals of distress
and passed on, finally after waiting
fifteen days vessel which had been
sent out in search of them was sight
ed and came alongside and took them
off. At this time their food supply
had about given out and they were in
a terrible condition. The missing are
as follows: twenty European officers;
twenty five passengers, and thirty
three of the crew of the Alden.

As the Spanish Liberals may at any

AS the Spanish Liberals may at any
moment come into power, it is inter
|esting to know that they have decided
upon program for Cuba which would
grant to the island an autonomy as
complete in every respect as would be
compatible with the retention of
Spanish sovereignty. The reforms
contemplated administrative eco
|nomic, egislative-would be intrusted
ito some humane and intelligent civil
ian, and the oppressive military tyr
amy would be withdrawn. The Gu
bans, however, will never be satisfied
with reforms" however liberal.
They are bent on independence-and
in the long run they will achieve it.

The news from Michigan is to the
Aeffect that Gov. Pingree has stirred
N up dissatisfaction with the manner of
/ distributing the patronage. In the
upper peninsula of Michigan the gov
Iernor has succeeded in alternating
nearly all the leaders who fought for
Ahis nomination and election, and some
N of them, notably James Russell of
marquette, editor of the leading
daily of the district, and formerly
distributor of the federal patronage
Iof Cleveland under the famous s'ref-
leree' system, are openly hostile to
the governor. Every corporation in
\ the state is bitterly opposed to him,
because of his many denunciations
of corporations. But we venture to
SAY that he is not worrying much
lover it all. Certain elements of the
Opposition will be as effective in his
favor as if he had purposely planned
them for this.

In0 Spanish D0lIoVo, anu UOuUUl0SS
with reason, that the Cubans are
about to attack some Of the more i'm
portant cities and towns in Western
Cuba. The Cubans are everywhere
showing great boldness, and have
recently taken the town of Catalina
de Guines, in Havana province. This
town was surrounded by wire fences
and deep bitches, and defended by no
less than Is forts, but the Cubans cap
tured it after a fight of nine hours.
The report is that the Spanish troops
did not fight we'll when they came in
close quarters with the courageous
Cubaus.
The fact seems to be, that the Gu
bans expect to be successful in the
war and the Spanish soldiers do not.
The latest reports received in this
country from General Gomez indicate
the greatest confidence. He declares
that the Cubans will keep up the fight
until they achieve absolute independ-
ence, and he seems to think that this
is near at hand. He says the insur-
gents will listen to no peace proposals
on any other basis. The brave Gu
bans deserve to win, and they have
the sympathy of SO out of every 100
citizens of the United States.
