AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.

We have arrived at a new position
of large interest on both sides OF the
Atlantic. 1t was expressed very
pointedly few days ago by Mr.. H A.
WATT, the able locomotive superin-
t5ndent of the Great Northern Rail
way, during a conversation with refer
ence to the orders given by English
railways for American locomotives.
1T means" he said, "that hencefoc-
ward American builders will be in the
field as competitors with British build
ers for the supply of such engines as
the British companies themselves can
build" Clearly that is SO. 1t is Vir-
tually proved that, in certain cases at
any rate, American builders can sup
ply locomotives much more quickly
and somewhat more cheaply than Brit
ISL makers hitherto have done. If ex
peIience should further prove that the
American built locomotives are for all
practical purposes as good as the Brit
ish-built engines, the sequel seems in
evitable- 1t is certainly to be expected
that, in that case. the British railway
companies will prefer the makers who
supply an equally useful engine and do
SO mere speedily and cheaply. ODvi-
ously, then, the present situation is
one Of absorbing interest for both
American and British engine builders.

PENSIONS FOR THE AGED.
Considerations Connected With Thi:
Subject are Far Reaching

Even so conservative journal as
the Hartford Courant, noting the case
of a railway employee discharged after
twenty-e;ght years of service, re-
marks:
''If man works for twenty-eignt
years for one employer and finally is
dropped because the company has got
all out of him that he was capable of
giving during his life, that man is
morally entitled to something batter
than the poor house or suicide. He
ought to have a pension and the en-
! ploying company ought to provide it
for him"
This opens a pretty broad subject,
and the considerations connected with
| it are far reaching. 1t would net be
safe to base a final conclusion on the
few facts stated. There ara other con-
sideraItions which must go far to af-
feet a judgment.
If the employing corporation paid
this man gCcd wages-all that it could
afford to pay hint owed him moth
ing at the date of his discharge, and
anything done f5r him afterward
would be in the nature of charity 1t
will be admitted, we suppose, that
charity should be voluntary and not
compulsory. On the ether hand, if the
little pay so that he was unable to
make any provision for cid age. the
cooperation may be under moral obli-
cations ito do something for him,
though it was the employees own look
out that he worked 6cr less than he
was worth. At present there is no le-
gal obligation, but it is possible to
create one by law, if there are no con-
stitutional obstacles.
What would be the effect of reuuir-
ing employers tc, pension employees af-
ter a ceGtain term of service? This is
a far reaching question. In the case
supposed, when the employer is pay
ing all he can afford, the pension fuld
would have to ccme out of wages. This
is one of the plans by which the old
age pensions are provided. There is
another by which the state, the en-
ployer and the employe all contribute
to the pension fund. In any event, the
employees will contribute directly or in
directly. unless the pension operates
as an indirect way ut putting up
wages, which could hardly be the case
when full wages are already paid. In
other cases this advance in wages could
probably be effected in some other
way.
The old age pension necessarily pro
ceeds upon the idea that the employe
is too unthrifty, CT too poorly paid, &c
make any provision for his old ag=.
In the case of we'll paid men or wo-
men, the saving is made compulsory.
The state forces the employer tc be-
come in who's or in part the trustee OF
the people who work for wages. He
is required to hold back part Of the
amount earned to prevent the work
ingman from squandsring it, What
the workingman using the term in its
brcadest sense) gains in provision for
old age he loses in liberty. Meantime,
the motive for individual thrift IS
largely removed. Is this conducive to
the greatest good to the greatet num-
ber?-Louisville Courier-Journal

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS,

It seems Idle to discus the question
Gauss, for one thing, that is a matter
which every person who undertakes
the perils of the journey must settle
fer himself and, for another, that re-
suits of such ventures cannot be reck-
Cned by dollars and cents, or even by
any ordinary amount CT privation or
the occasional sacrifice CT life Many
people there are who regard additions
to the worlds store of knowledge as
above price or personal considerations,
and in comparison Herewith precious
Life is cheap.
This is the intellectual view of Arc
tic exploration, the one which is apart
from all considerations of proportion
ate return fer moneys invested and
risks to men adventured But the argu-
ment in favor of Arctic expeditions.
from the standpoint of financial profit
ito the world, is not without its
strength. 1t is asserted, and NOT with
out solid reason, that very few expedf-
items have returned from the pola-
regions without bringing fresh knowl-
edge of direct or indirect practical
value to commerce or commercial in
terests. Be this as it may, Arctic OK
ploratiOn will certainly continue until
the mystery Of the north pole is SOLVED,
and perhaps afterward, and whatever
men may think of the utility or folly
of such ventures, all will unite in well
coming each intrepid leader back To
civilization and home.-Philadelphf

REMARKABLE PROSPERITY.

There was published recently a dis
of The Statist, a conservative and
trustworthy British business journal,
to the effect that the present remark
able prosperity in America is likely to
continue. This testimony is borne by
all the prophets worth crediting.
Henry Clews says the wave advances
rather than recedes, with bright pros
poets ahead. A larger number of work
ing men are employed today en- terms
satisfactory to themselves and thEir
employers than ever before in the ma
tional history. Discomfort is nowhere
justifably to be found. 1t is true
grievances creep cut occasionally here
and there, but they are net OF serious
consequence. The demand has fairly
caught up to the supply in everything.
There is little selling ahead. The bus
fness of the country is on legitimate
basis and devoid of boom, which is the
best evidence of it's substantial and
fasting character. Now that the crops
are assured and the money scare has
passed over, the impC-us TO
push business ahead can be re-
lied upon fer the balance of
this year at least, thereby making it
tf1si best record year ever experienced
in business circles. This is also the
opinion of the we'll known American
authorities, Dun and Bradstreet. So
enormous and varied are the activities
which now control all the Industrial
and commercial channels of the coun-
try, that it is difficult to realize that
only three short years ago all the
country's commerce was in a state Of
the most discouraging depression,
when, throughout the length and
breadth of the land, there was the
anguished cry of thousands for work

RIDICULOUS.

The report comes from Jerome that
some exc1tablel citizens Of that commu-
nifty are proposing to circulate petit
ticn fer the removal Of Governor Muir
phy and the plan is to send the petit
ton to certain democratic papers in
the territory for the purpose of obtain
ing signers. The runner is almost too
absurd for credence, and if it were true
we doubt if amy newspapers of respon-
regardless of politics would lend their
aid to such move, nor could q cor-
porals guard of reputable citizens and
taxpayers, democrats or republicans,
be found who would sign such q petit
ton Governor Murphy may have
made too good a governor to please
a few ultra-p artisans and ambitious
politicians yet the fact is conceded that
there never was a better or more ca
pable and honest administration OF
territorial affairs in Arizona than he
is conducting. There IS absolutely no
complaint nor reascn for any as to the
management of any department OF the
territorial government, and the terri
tory never was so prosperous
nor was its credit ever before so
good. This is understood and
appreciated at Washington. If
there is really any foundation to the
report it will only bring ridicule upon
the instigators of the movement and
perhaps work soma injury to the ter
ritory Such work does not improve
good impression Of our people any
where.

Some of the fake mining operators
who were embarrassed by the publi-
cation of Governor Murphy's warning
to investors are responsible for an
article in New York paper attacking
the governor and advocating a move
ment to impeach him. The article in
question is based on statements made
by irresponsible papers in this terri
tory. The governor has nothing to
fear from such attacks. The stand ne
has taken against fake mining schemes
has received the endorsement OF rep
utable mining men and investors gen
orally throughout the country. Nat
urally the fakirs are disturbed but
their mouthings serve only to show
that the governors warning was
timely. faI1

NEW CHINESE WEAPON.
inventor Receives Button of Second
Degree for Instrument of Death.

An ingenious Chinese military man
has recently inverted a weapon which
the mandarins alt Pekin think will
cause terror in the hearts of the in
Vaders, and an order has BEEN issued
for the manufacture Of a large supply
to be distributed throughout the army.
According ITO a description that APP
pears in the Chinese papers this ter
rfble weapon is al combination cf spear
AID shovel. At one end Of a pole
there is a large, sharp pike, such as
knights of medieval times used to car
ry. At the other end there is a shovel
or spade, with blade about eight
inches wide. which can be used beth as
an intrenching tool and as weapon.
1t is especially handy IN beheading
prisoners, and all the Chinese soldiers
have to do is to stick the pike at one
end of his pole through the body of
his enemy, and then turn around and
cut of the head with a shovel. Instead
of sending the inventor Of this terrible
weapon ito The Hague to- represent
China. in the peace conference, the
empress dcwag5T rewarded him with a
button OF the second class.-Pittsburg

sorting itself in any discussion OF
China's future. China will never re
form until the pressure from outside
compels it She has within her the
elements Lf strength and virility yet
remaining, if only they are brought
into action, but thay will never be
utilized so long as foreign nations are
weak and divided at Pekin. On the

tect their interests, not only by prs
serving the integrity of the empire, but
by compelling her to institute new con-
