The ninth statistical report of the in

ing information concerning the mile
age, equipage, number of employees,
capitalization and valuation, accidents
and earnings and expenses of railways
in the United States for the year named.
One hundred and ifty-one roads, rep
resenting BOATS miles of operated mile
age, were in the hands of receivers on
June 30, 1896, a decrease of 10 from the
previous year. The capital stock rep
resented by the railways controlled by
receivers was $242, 597, 69s, and the fund

Der of freight locomoti ves fitted with
automatic couplers was 1878 out of 4
service fitted with train brakes was
379,058 out of a total of 1,221,S97. An
interesting feature of the report is q
summary showing the amount of COM
pensation paid to the railway employees
of the United States, who aggregated
826,62o. Their aggregate compensa-
ton amounted to over 60 per cent. of
the total operating expenses of all rail
ways, a slight decrease from the preced-
ing year. Much data on the capital ia
ton and valuation of railway property
Is contained in the report. The amount
of railway capital, it is shown, was $10,-
see, 865,771. Freight tonnage amounted
to $7G5, 1891, 1885, the largest ever reported
for railways in this country, and an in
crease of nearly 100000 tons. Gross
earnings amounted to 81, $50, 1863, 1916, an
increase of nearly $75,o0O,O00, resulting
in net income of over $50, 100000 larger
than the previous year. Nearly 1900
employees were killed, and almost 80, 900
injured during the year, an increase
of 80 in those killed, and over 1900 in
the number injured. One hundred and
cighty-one passengers we're killed and
nearly 5000 injured. The number Of
persons "other than employees and pas
sengers" killed was 4,406, and those in

casualties to persons reported as tres
passers. For every 444 men employed
on railways one was killed, and for
every :2s men employed one was in
jured.

trainmen employed, and one trainman
injured for each ten men employed.

CHAPTER lis,

CHAPTER lis.
An act to amend section two hum
dred and forty-nine (249) of penal code,
relating to the exclusion of persons I'M
der the age of twenty-one ely years
from places injurious to morals.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Minnesota:
SECTION l. That section two hum
dred and forty-nine (249) of the penal
code be and the same hereby is amend
ed so as to read as follows, viz:
Whoever admits any person under
the age of twenty-one (21 years, or al
lows them to remain in any dance
house, or concert saloon, or place where
intoxicating liquors are sold or given
away, or any place of entertainment in
furious to the morals, owned, kept or
managed by him in whole or in part,
unless such person under the age of
twenty-one ely years, is accompanied
by it's parent or guardian, is guilty of a
misdemeanor. Any person who shall
suffer or permit any such child to play
any game Of skill or chance in any such
place is guilty of misdemeanor.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after it's pass
age.
Approved April II, 1897.
AS this is new law and apparently
not understood by many, you are re-
specially asked to publish this article
in The GAZETTE that the public may
know the facts concerning the case.
Your article stated that the action
was brought for violation of the stat
ute forbidding the sale of liquors to
minors. By referring to the law quot
ed herein you will notice that that was
a mistake. While it was brought out
and clearly proven at the trial that
such was the case, i. 9. liquor had been
sold to the minor, Patsey Hart, the
action was brought for a violation of
the above law, and not on any other
ground. Also, allow me to correct the
statement that one of the w. G. T. U.
ladies had to give bonds for the costs
in this action, before the county at
torney would allow the warrant to be
issued. Such is not the case. No one
of them was asked to do anything of
the kind, and no such bond was re-
quired. Our county attorney stated,
when summing up the case before the
jury, that as long as he held the posi-
ton, and law was violated, he should
do his duty in prosecuting the offend
ers. and when the people of Redwood
county we're not satisfied with that
they could elect another man for the
Office. Mr.. Clague surely needs no
commentator or praise for doing
what is manifestly his duty and what
he took oath to do when he qualified
for the Office. We expect no less than
that of any man who holds such po-
sition. That the law was violated in
this case IS apparent to any fair-mind-
ed person. As to the outcome of the
trial nothing need be said. Facts are
what we want and they are contained
here. Respy,
WIS. SourHw1ck.

Russia has settled upon preventing
all attempts of Greece to consolidate
the countries that would naturally
form a Hellenic union, otherwise it
might be worth while for Greece to
brave the power of the Turk in the
struggle for dominion. AS it is Greece
is hopelessly handicapped by the hos
tility of Russia, whose designs would
be eventually frustrated by the crea-
ton of a strong Hellenist nation. Rus
STA wants no strong nation of any
kind in Southeastern Europe, having
determined to possess that section of
the continent for herself ultimately.

There is an attempt to lug in the SEN
timent of the Christian world as an al
ly to the Greek cause in the present
fight.It is all failure. The most Chris
tan of all nations, Great Britain, has ia
en- back seat and the most Greek of all
Christian peoples, the Russians, are
egging on the Turks, Mohammedans,
to make mince meat of Greece. 1t is
a question of empire purely and puta-
lively and questions of infidel and
Christian are not in it little bit
Times have changed since the crusade
was preached in Europe and an army
raised to rescue the holy sepulchre
from the hand of the infidel Turk. The
infidel now has the right hand of fell
lowship from the Christian nations and
the Christian Greeks are tipped out
of the Moslem frying pan into the fire.

MEXICAN TRADE TREATY.

|
The Americans In Mexico have done
more than all other nationalities tC
advance the material progress of the
sister republic and develop her advan-
tages. The natural wealth of that
country has offered a splendid field
for American enterprise and the citi-
zens of the United States have not been
slow to avail themselves of it. The
wise and liberal policy of President
Diaz has made this more possible, and
under the judicious concessions that he
has made to them by way of encour-
agement the lines of communication
have been immensely extended and the
coffee and sugar plantations greatly
enlarged. Mining industries, more
probably than all others have felt
the stimulus of this encouragement to
American enterprise, and the result of
the whole is an advance on the part
of Mexico that has put her into the sec
Ond rank of American republics. She
is today the most powerful of all the
Latin-American states and rapidly dis
tancing all the South and Central
Americas in her productions and i'm
provements. Her railways are far
more. extended, her mining industries
more developed, her agriculture more
up to date than any of the other re-
publics south of the United States.
She is coming into conditions in which
her enlarged trade and productions
make her trade more and more desira-
BILE, and it is within the power of this
country, by wise arrangements, to
largely make that trade her own. 1t
is not to the foreign states of either
Europe, Africa or Asia that the United
States should look for her trade ex-
changes, but to the republics on this
side of the great sea, Within these
will be found all that is needed to sup
plement the natural growth of this
country, and real reciprocity will give
us that which we do not produce in
exchange for that which we do. The
best market that the United States has
offered to her today for manufac-
tured goods, is in Mexico. The good
will of that people we should cultivate.
The old prejudices are dying out rap
idly and every year renders it more
and increasingly more easy to do bus
mess with our neighbors across the
borders. Trade treaties that would
clearly outline the lines along which it
would be wisest to attempt this ex-
change are demanded in the best in
terest of both countries. 1t may not
be the most opportune time to attempt
such a treaty now, while the tariff is
pending, but there should be as soon
as practicable a movement for a recip-
rocal trade treaty with Mexico on the |
broadcast possible lines.

Mexico is turning her attention from
the production of silver to the cult
walton of coffee and tropical fruits,
and doing it with real benefit to her
self. The low price of silver is largely
responsible for the change. American
methods and enterprise and capital
are all seen in the new departure. It
opens up a better prospect for that
republic in the future.
