SUNDAY LAW AT BROWNSVILLE
For the First Time in the Towns
History Everything Was Closed

A Brownsville dispatch, Jan. 30.
says: Today for the 6rst time in the
history of Brownsville the Sunday law
was enforced. Some days ago the
Clerks union decided to make an effort
to have this law carried. They en-
ployed W. N. Parks as their counsel
for this purpose Thursday he present
ed petition signed by the society and
several others to the justice on the
peace and the county attorney request
ing the enforcement of the Sunday
law The officers Immediately notified
those liable that they must comply
with the law and to-day the admeni-
ton was obeyed by the closing of all
business prohibited.
The effect is peculiar. Men may be
seen in groups all over the city discus
sing the matter. vet the consensus of
opinioa is in favor of the law,
which is great boon to the clerks,
who have heretofore been required to
labor sixteen hours Sunday and other
DAYS.

A Wrong Impression.

Some time ago the HERALD inserted
q picture of Ike RAIDER and as 1t so
happened the picture was placed in
the middle of an article concerning the
Santa Fe spotter. The picture and the
article had no connection whatever, but
1t seems as If some readers looked at it
in the wrong light and think that Mr..
RAIDER YVES the spotter spoken of in the
article. Mr.. RAIDER is one of Master
Mechanic De Young's most respected
clerks and would not shink of low ering
himself to the level of a spotter.

FRIGHTFUL TRAIN WRECK.
TWO Fast Moving Freight Trains
Rush Together Near Flagstaff
Six Men Injured.

An order forgotten by q railroad man
was the cause of q terrible wreck on
the Santa Fee Pacific, five miles this
side of Flagstaff, few minutes before
l o'clock yesterday morning.
A heavy train drawn by engines 136
and 112, the former making her first
trip after coming out of the shops, was
pulling westward, at the rate of %
miles an hour. Another freight
with engine No. IA in
front, was rushing east at the
same rate of speed. The trains round
ed q sharp curve. the trainmen uncon-
sciaus of danger until the engines were
80 close together that their inmates
distinctly saw the CLEAN of the polish
ed metal In the twinkling of an eye
they had rushed together and locked
in an awful embrace:
Some of the trainmen had time to
jump, but the engineer and fireman on
the second engine of the double-header
had not instant's warning.
Enein Fuller had both legs broken
aud his back terribly scalded by escap-
ing steam.
Engineer Sewers of the leading en-
CINE of the west bound train, broke
his ankle and injured his back in his
desperate leap into sspace.
Brakemen Pike crushed his kneecap
and cut his right hand. Fireman Fish
er of Engine No. IA sustained pain
full scalp wound and severely sprain-
ed shoulder.
Engineer Leavitt, also of the east
bound, and Fireman Giles were slight
ly cut about the head.
Two of the engines are total wrecks
and the third ia badly damaged. All
will be brought to the Albuquerque
shops. Not one of the freight cars was
broken of injured in any way.
Engineers Sewers and Fuller, Brake
man Pike and Fireman Fisher were
brought in to the local railway hos
pital on No. last night. They were
interviewed by Journal-Democrat re-
porter.
The men said that it was miraculous
that they escaped with their lives. 1t
was terrible moment they said, when
they fret saw the opposite train rush
ing upon them only few feet away,
and the mighty crash of the meeting
tons of metal must have resounded
through the night air for miles.
The men are receiving the most
careful attention and none of them
is in dangerous condition.

tenn OF accounts with the quartermaS-
ter generals department. That every
thing may be nice and shipshape, John
Doe, as commissary, or ordnance Of
hcer, for example, will turn over to
himself, John Doe, as acting quarter
master, supplies for transportation to
Richard Roe, as acting quartermaster,
for transfer to himself Richard Roe, as
commissary or ordnance officer.
If each department were held respon-
sible for the transportation of its own
property, and the quartermaster's de-
partment were given, in addition, the
transportation of the troops, the COM
handing officer would know whom to
hold responsible for any mistakes that
might happen.
Another bad feature of the Mcclellan
bill is the provision for the consolida-
ton of the ordnance and the artillery.
This has been tried two or three times,
and each time proved a failure. Artil-
lery officers have already labored under
the disadvantage of curtailed oppor-
tunities for promotion, and, as so much
will doubtless depend upon the artillery
henceforth, it would be rank injustice
to reorganiZe the army without giving
this important branch of the service its
rights and deserts; without allowing
artillerymen the same opportunities to
rise that is given in other lines. The
Mcclellan bill provides for some sixty
odd officers to take the commissions
without presenting inducements for
faithful and efficient men to rise from
the ranks

a NEIGHBoR's cHUcKLE.

1.-THE Herald now charges that the
storm which has been raised over the
Roberts election is ali due to the Tri-
bune," says the local organ of the agi-
tators. So it chuckles, and sneers that
The Herald discounted Tribune influ-
ence to bring about any such result
It wasn't a matter of influence. Con-
fagrations are sometimes started by
insignificant stumps of cigarettes. Pan
les are often caused by men of limited
influence, and better men are frequent
ly trampled underfoot The craziest
steer in the herd is usually the one
that leads the stampede. So the result
of our contemporary course in the
late campaign is nothing to gloat over
Hostility to the people of Utah, sus-
picion of the dominant church, distrust
OF the leaders, Intolerance, fanaticism,
were easily aroused. 1t used to burn
with a fierce heat. 1t never burned
out. 1t smoldered. The flame of public
denunciation vanished, but the ashes
We're full of the sparks of sectarian
opposition. A handful of inflammable
material was enough to start the fire
again.
It broke out afresh when the Tri-
bune, needless of the effect upon the
welfare of the state, and hot for re-
venge, told the world that plural mar
riages were still being solemnized in
the Mormon church; when it intimated
that Mormon elders were performing
these ceremonies, in defiance of the
law; when it declared by innuendo that
Mr.. Roberts himself had contracted a
polygamous marriage since the mani
festo of 1890 was adopted by the
church.
These were falsehoods. but they were
f1rebrands. They aroused the people of
the east, because these stories were
circulated by sectarian societies far and
wide as the positive declarations of
the Salt Lake Tribune.
When taken to task and asked for its
authority, the organ refused to give it, /
said it would be questioned anyhow,
reiterated its charge that plural mar
riages are still being contracted in the
Mormon church, and emphaticalIy said
I'VE know that this is being done"
The question of influence, or power
or greatness, doesn't enter into the
matter. 1t is more a question of gall,
of venom, of, reckless Indifference to
the welfare Of the state and the har-
mony of the people.

A HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT

The names of the contributors are
guarantees of the excellence of the Sc
ries and the merit of the department.
Marion Harland and Mrs. Lincoln are
authorities of recognized ability and
national regulations.
The only other writer upon such top
les who is worthy to be classed with
them is Mrs. Rover of the Ladies'

find favor in every home. 1t is sure
to be a favorite with all the ladies who

special features will be added, of equal

Eliot pays a high tribute to the con-
summate skill and energy displayed by
President Mckinley and his cabinet Of

war, showing, moreover. that these de-

must be, previously prepared and de-
veloped by the constructive arts of
peace; and in this connection he calls
attention to many proper objects for
the operation of the beneficent con-
structive energies of the government
in times of peace. and which he believes
should be energetically and systemat-
ically fostered and sustained.

THE ARMY BILLS.

Whether men favor the annexation
of the Philippines, a protectorate, or
oppose their retention altogether, whe-
Their they believe that Hawaii ought to
be made territory or Cuba admitted
as state, the necessity for an in
creased army under existing circum-
stances is pressing and apparent.
TIE volunteers ought to be mustered
out. The regular army is not large
enought as now constituted to perform
the manifold duties devolving upon it
duties that viii not be completely
discharged for several years yet.
Whatever congress decides to do
should be done with dispatch. Univer-
sal agreement cannot be expected upon
any bill, and it would be unwise, as
well as unjust to the volunteers now in
the field, to spend much time in efforts
to evolve a perfect measure as long
any present provisions by later legis-
lation.
OF all the measures proposed, the
Miles plan is undoubtedly the best. The
Hull bill. approved by Secretary Alger,
is the weakest in some particulars The
Mcclellan bill has it's merits and it's in
consistencies. 1t is feared that some of
its provisions would work injustice to
many officers, particularly of the artil-
lery. This bill proposes to take from
the quartermaster's department a large
part of its duties and create an en-
tirely new department, called the de-
partment Of supply, for their perform
ance, while, nevertheless, increasing
the numerical strength of the quarter
masters department, which, by anal
ogy, ought to be called the department
Of transportation, since that would be
the principal, if not its only remaining
function 1t would be far better to
tighten the burden of the quartermas-
ter's department by assigning to every
other department its own transporta-
ton.
AS the general of the army in the
field controls all, SO are the commits
sary. ordnance and engineer chiefs
their own transportation agents. In
explaining this feature of the organiza-
ton, a regular army officer says:
In performing this duty they write
acting assistant quartermaster'' under
their other title, and use quartermas-.
ter's blanks and have a separate sys-

WOMEN AND WAGES.

! The new order which goes into effect
today on the Northwestern railroad Is
a serious matter with women wage
earners everywhere. as the results VII
be watched with considerable interest
by other corporations, and their future
regulations may be Influenced largely
by the outcome.
Women have made such wonderful
strides in the direction of personal in
dependence during the last decade or
so that men no longer look upon them
as weaker beings needful of protection,
but as rivals in trade, competitors in
the shops and offices, who are lowering
wage-scales and crowding men out of
places they have monopolized for so
long.
Women receive less wages than men,
as a rule, in the same kind of work.
because they are usually in a position
to work for less. Thus it happens now
and then that a woman is burdened
with the support of the family. While
the husband is unable to find place.
Of course, if this is satisfactory to the
justified in entering complaint. But
this state of affairs leads to IMPOSITION
on women and eventually to the de-
moralization of men.
Those women who are thrown u9on
their own resources. or who are left
with the care of others in their hands.
are benefited by the new order OF
things 1t is helpful, too. to those
whose husbands are too nice to toll or
too upright and even tempered to be
aggressive in the battle of life.
But there should be reason in all
things Society is inclined to be fair.
1t sits upon it's own case. 1t does not
desire to turn the wheels of progress
back one cog. There is certainly no
disposition to deprive any woman. de-
pendent upon her own exertions. of the
best opportunities at her command for
getting on in the world. But there is
a tendency of late for women of indie
pendent surroundings to start out for
themselves when the consequence is al
most certain to deprive families of the
necessities before provided.
It is a battle between ambition and
necessity and the one who can afford
to work the cheaper wins.
This is an issue which affects the in
terests of labor. There is no justice in
denying to women any more than to
men the right to seek honorable en-
ployment wherever and whenever they
choose. They know. also, what value
to place upon their services. And yet
it scarcely appears urgent for many
women, who seek Office work to escape
domestic duties. and not from neces-
sity. to invade fields which are already
overcrowded, to bring about a change
the aggregate benefits of which are
questionable.
