The sad Dream That Came True.

The Rev. II. A. NJ Henderson, who was
the superintendent of public intruction for
Kentucky many years ago, and Is now
preaching at Hartwell, o., writes rather

DEATH DUE no FALLING WIRES
More Persons Killed by These Than
by Railroad Accidents.
From the Rallroad Gazette.

We have recently had an opportunity
to examine a batch of newspaper clip
pings giving accounts of accidents due 20
the falling of electric wires. These clip
pings cover the months of May to Sep
TENDER, inclusive but it is not to be sup
posed that we have found in them reports
of all or nearly all the accidents of that
character which have taken place. We
have found enough, however, to show
that the matter is a very serious one.
we find in the FIVE months reports of
122 accidents due to falling trolley wires.
In II of these accidents ~ persons were
killed, and in % of them 81 persons were
injured and in IS of them "a horses were
killed During the same five months we
find reports of 40 accidents from falling
electric light and telephone wires, show
ing that 8 persons were killed In 3 acci-
dents, q were injured in % accidents, and
horses were killed.
The nature of the accidents is very fa-
miliar; that is. a broken live wires falls
into the street, and a passer-by steps on
| it or picks 1t up and gets shock which
| is often fatal. We thus find, during this
period, total of q fatalities, resulting
| from falling live wires of all kinds. At
| this rate of mortality, II 1t were kept up,
| 50 persons would be killed in the year.
In 1895 there were 80 passengers killed in
train accidents on all the steam railroads
of the United States, so far as we have
been able to ascertain. 1t appears, there
! fore, that more persons are killed by live
wire accidents than are passengers in rail-
road train accidents, and the difference
might be still greater II complete stalls
| tics of the former were obtained.
There have been widespread and persist
ent efforts made by the public in various
ways for many years to minimize train
| accidents by legislation and by agitation
i'm the press and by investigations and
recommendations, but the serious NOR
| tally due to live-wire accidents does not
appear to have attracted much atten-
ton from the public. There are simple
and obvious means, which we suppose are
not very expensive, for preventing acci-
dents Of this class; but until the public
realizes the seriousness of the situation
and the practicability of remedying u,
probably little will be done. We suggest
! this subject as an interesting one for the
| daily ueWsDapers.

that Kansas is all right. Don't worry
about the Kansas man. If he happens to
be "a popust he Is no worse than the Ohio
populist. When you wake up in the silent
watches OF the night and begin to fret
over the moral decay of the 10000 Kansas
men who go to sleep, resting in the sweet
assurance that there were $4,000 men in
Ohio who did the same awful thing. When
your children trembe at the tales of the
terrible atrocities Of Jerry Simpson, of
Kansas, soothe their childish fears with
the honey words of wisdom that drip from
the inspired lipes OF J. S. Coxey, of Ohio.
Aemember that pop in any other state Is
just as sweet. Populism is not Kansas

Sometimes IL becomes epidemic. Then,

Then 1t is not a conviction-it is a tenn

whit worse than the men of all ages who
have let their envy get the better of their
honor, and who have desired to make men
equal by dividing some other mans prop

Cain was the first populist. When he
saw that his brothers gift was accepta-

not acceptable. Cain did what every Ohio
populst would do and what every Me-

rhetoric. Instead Of getting out and hus-

ILLITERACY IN IMMIGRANTS.
CLEVELAND VEToEs THE BILL TO
RESTRICT IMMIGR ALTON.

He Looks Upon Its Provisions as IN
necessarily Harsh and Oppressive.
Defects In Construction Would
Cause VexatiOn and Its Operation
Would Result In Harm to Our Citi-
zens AGitatOrs With Little
Learning More Dangerous Than
U1iterate migrants.
Washington, March 2.-The President
to-day sent to the House message veto
ing the immigration bill, entitled, An
act to amend the immigration laws Of the
United States" upon the general ground
that its provisions are unnecessarily harsh
and oppressive, and that it's defects in
construction would cause vexauon and its
operation would result in harm TO our
citizens.
The message is the longest of the kind
that President Cleveland has written. tie
takes up the different provisions of the
bill in detail, finds objections to each of
them and refutes the arguments that have
been advanced from time to time by he
advocates of the bill He gives greater
space to his objections to the educational
clause than to any other. of 1t he says:
"In my opinion it is infinitely more safe
to admit hundred thousand immigrants,

to work than to admit one of those unruly
agitators and enemies OF governmental
control. who cannot only read and write,
but delights in arousing by inflammatory
speech the illiterate and peacefully in
clined to discomfort and tumult. Violence
and disorder does not originate with hit
crate laboIers. They are rather the vic
TINS of the educated agitators. The abil-
ity to read and write as required in this
bill of itself, affords, in my opinion, mis-
leading test of contended industry and
supplies unsatisfactory evidence OF desl-
rable citizenship, or a proper appreciation
of the benefits of our institutions. II any
particular element of our illiterate imml-
grafton is to be feared for other causes
than iluteracy, these causes should be
dealth with directly instead Of making
nliteracy the pretext for exclusion, tC
the detriment OF other illiterate immi
| grants against whom the real cause Of
| complaint cannot be alleged"
| The President does not find merit In any
| feature of the bill, and characterizes 1t OF
| the whole as a radical departure from oul
| national policy relating to immigration.

out opposition since that date.
The tree was as straight as an arrow
from it's base to the first limb, go feet,
and. curiously enough, the trunk main
tained an equally stern position to the
topmost point. Had the limbs been
shorn away, then the bare trunk would
have lowered from ground to tip 465 feet
without the slightest bend or crook. The
tree was not. as, might be supposed, of
that variety which in the United States
gains so tremendous a hght-the red
wood. 1t was of the species known as
the Washington fir. taking its name from
that of the state. Its splendid regularity
can be best understood by those who Wis
tied the worlds fair at Chicago and re-
member in front of the Washington state

ed so far from the earth toward the sky
that at first glance it was difficult to lis
Germ where the pole ended and the sky
began
Perhaps an even better idea of the size
of the tree could be gained from the
fact that if it we're sawed into lumber
it would make 90. S45 feet of the regula-
ton size board. This ame.lnt of lum-
Der would serve for the construction of
eight cottages, two stories high, each
containing seven rooms. 1t is not only
in quantity that the lumber made from
this tree would surpass but in quality,
after being seasoned, IL would be ditli-
cult to excel. The Washington fir makes
that sort of lumber which delights the
heart of the owner of a building, If It
does not that of the money making
builder If properly seasoned it neither
shrinks nor warps in any way and like

The task of telling this huge tree was
no slight one. He would be a venture
some woodsman indeed who would at
tack such a monster with an AK and it
would take him a lifetime nearly to
make an impression that would secure
the desired result The problem puzzled

which it could be managed was with

IN THE RAILROAD WORLD.
Matters of Interest in Savannah and
Elsewhere.

The bill of review in the Cuyler and
WOODBURY. railroad case, placed before
Judge Speer in Macon on Monday, was
sent here to be filed in the United States
court yesterday. 1t is in the shape of a
bill of review in the case of Ellen e.
Wood and Thetis e. Robertson, as copart-
ners, under the firm name of E. e. Wood
& James F. Adams VS.. the Admission bank,
Robert NJ Stiles, Francis r. Jones, as
trustees, the Cuyler and Woodburn Rail-
road Company and j. d. Harrell, receiver
and as marshal.
The bill asked that the former action Of
the court be revoked and the findings dis
missed, alleging the lack of jurisdiction
on the part of the court, and that the
grounds were not sufficient for a refusal
to stop the sale of the road, which took
place at Statesboro yesterday. The petit
TONERS allege that they own 5000 of the
stock besides having other claims on the
road, and, therefore. they wanted the sale
enjoined, alleging that If allowed TO pro-
coed their interests would be injured.
Judge Speer issued an order refusing the
injunction and giving claimants leave to
file their bill provided they can make
sufficient proof of validity of the bill be-
fore the master within thirty days, and
that the sale OF the Cuyler and Wood
burn road shall not be confirmed until the
complainants shall have opportunity TO
make proof OF their claims.
