The SONG of the Locomotive.

Mr.. Kipling has again demonstrated his
genius, in and through his story, "0U,'
published recently in Scribners Magazine.
The story is that of number of railway
locomotives, with No. "OO7," a machine
just out of the hands of the builders as
the hero of it. "O07' was forced to do
drudge work for a time, but finally grad
uated into the class of mile-a-minute fly
ers. pulling Purple Emperor" white
Moth" and other fancifully named limited
express trains. Upon becoming a member
of the fraternity, the new brother was
taught the song of the fast flying locomo-
tive. as follows:
With a michnai-ghignat-sch Yah!
Yah! Yah!
Observation-Disclosures. Yah! Yah Yahi
She climbed upon der shteeple
Und she frighten all der people
Slngn -ghignai-schtingal Yah!
Yahl
We submit that 1t requires genius. and
that of very high order, to get anything
like the foregoing cut of the whirr and
rattle and roar of the high-speed locomo-
tive when 1t is burning up the miles at
the rate of sixty to the hour. 1t is not to
be denied of course, that railway locomo-
tives have a language of their own. and
that they say things and sing songs as
they skim the earth. Every traveller and
every small boy who has haunted the
switching yards, knows of this language,
and has interpreted it to suit Individual
fancy. For instance, an old lady of
Springfield, told about In the Republican
newspaper of that city, was sure she knew
precisely what the locomotive which car
about. In Boston she had visited the
panorama, and all the way back to Spring
field the locomotive dinned into her ear
Panorama panorama panorama
Panorama panorama panorama
Panorama panorama panorama
Panorama panorama panorama.
There are boys that frequent the railroad
yards in this city who are quite willing TO
qualify to the fact that when the Augusta
train leaves the shed its song is
Two cold biscuit and a cup of coffee;
Two cold biscuit and a cup of coffee
And we have heard 1t said that there is
one engine on the Florida run which Is
habitually profane and has a grudge
against the colored race Whenever 1t
pulls out, so the story goes, 1t begins
Damma niger, damma niger,
Damma niger, damma niger
which imprecation il keeps up steadily all
the way to Jacksonville and back again.
These interpretations, we submit, are
more reasonable and expressive than that
OF Mr. Kip,ing. He would have us believe
good American-built locomotive sings
! meaningless doggerrel in a low-Dutch
patois. We think the engines are too in
telligent and patriotic to do any such
thing Let the reader attempt to apply
EGipling's verse to the hum of the next
mile-a-minute train that comes along, and
Judge If we ore not right.
Mr.. Kipling received $3.50 for the story,
the rate per word being 20 cents. 1t takes
genius to do things like that!

The Latimer Affair.

The result of the conflict between the
officers of the law and the striking coal
miners at Latimer, Pa. on Friday, was
deplorable. Many of the strikers were
killed and a very large number of others
were more or less seriously wounded. 1t
is pretty safe to assume that very nearly
all who were killed left families without
any means of support, and that those who
were wounded have wives and children de-
pendent upon them.
The wonder Is that there was not a con-
hict sooner between the strikers and the
authorities. The strikers have shown a
lawless spirit from the very beginning of
the strike. They have endeavored to
compel compliance with their demand for
an increase of wages by preventing work
in any of the mines. They have said prac-
ticaTly that no work shall be done in any
of the mines until the wage question is
settled. Miners that wanted to work have
not been permitted TO do so. The miners,
composed almost wholly of foreign labor
ers of the lowest class-Hungarians and
Italans-have shown an utter lack Of
respect for the laws.
Sin, 1t is a question, from the sheriff s
own statement, whether the shooting into
the mob of miners was justihable. 1t may
be true that the sheriff was attacked, but
his deputies were strong enough in num-
bers to rescue him without the use Of
deadly weapons. What the strikers would
have done If they had not been fired upon,
can only be eonjectured. They might have
resorted to very violent methods TO &C
complsh their purpose. In that event pub
lie sentiment would have sustained the
sheriff in using all the means at his COM
mand to uphold the law.
Many of the coal miners in Pennsylvania
were brought to this country under con-
tract. They were sought by the mine
owners because they agreed to work for
much less wages than were being paid to
native miners. They are now, however,
demanding wages which the mine owners
say they cannot afford to pay.
The mine owners are paying dearly for
their experience with foreign cheap labor.
They have in their mines a turbulent and
law defying class of people, and even If
they succeed in securing a satisfactory
settlement of the present difficulty, they
are. certain to have further trouble with
the miners in the near future.
The Latimer affair should be carefully
Investigated, and the sheriff and his depu-
ties should be dealt with as they deserve.
If there was justification for the shooting
they should be sustained, but if they were
not, they should be held to a strict ac-
countabllity.

Orator Sure of Himself.

A Chicago editor who was recently in
Washington, paid Senator Mason hand
some tribute as public speaker, says the
Washington Post Though his speeches
overflow with wit and humor, which seem
to be born of the occasion, Senator Mason
prepares them with great care. Long ex-
perience has enabled him to judge what
points will take withshs hearers. Said this
Chicago editor:
Mason had sent me a typewriter copy
of speech he was going to deliver In
looking over it noticed the applause and
laughter We're sprinkled very literally
through it, but 1 thought Mason might be
assuming too much. determined to make
the test so I carried that typewriter copy
with me to the meeting where he was to
speak. 1 followed him line by line. Now, l
want to say that in not a single case had
he made a mistake. Where he had put
Great applause in parenthesis the au-
dience justified the parenthesis. Where he
had put Laughter there was laughter,
and where he had guessed there would be
Great laughter the merriment was great.
Where he had adroitly made feint of
ending his speech, and then had interpolat-
ed demands from his hearers to Go on,
Billyr the audience Numbered for him TO
Go on! The only cases where he mis-
Judged were in bracketing Applause and
Laughter where actually there was great
applause and great laughter. suppose his
modesty kept him from giving too high a
degree to it. After that speech was finish
ed carried the copy over to my Office, and
gave instructions that thereafter Mason S
speeches should go just as he sent them

1t Is almost incredible that a man of
sound sense, In charge of a train heavily
laden with passengers, should attempt TO
"steal a station" knowing full we'll that
failure would mean death to numbers Of
people; yet that is what the conductor Of
the Colorado Midland train did on Fri
day, with the result of sending an I'M
known, but large number of souls into
eternity. The foolhardy conductor, very
miraculously, came out Of the fearful wreck
unhurt, and was promptly and very prop
erly put under arrest. 1t is to be hoped
that the most severe punishment possible
under the law win be meted out to him.
He should be made an example of, as a
warning to other conductors and engineers
who may be disposed to run ahead OF or
ders and "steal" stations, at the risk of
the lives of their passengers.
