FAST MAIL TRAINS COLLIDE.

at Inlay, Mich.-Three Persons
Are Killed.

Inlay City, Mich, Feb. 6.-Chicage
& Grand Trunk passenger train No. 1
westbound, plunged full speed into
passenger train No. 6, eastbound, while
the latter was standing at the station
here. The results of the crash were
fatal and otherwise disastrous. The
following were killed:
Engineer Fairbanks, of the west-bounc
train.
Edward Reid, of Lenox, Mich, mai
clerk of the west-bound train.
Thomas Stuart, of Lansing, mail clerk Of
the east-bound train.
The injured:
Engineer Mahan, of the east-bound train
several ribs broken.
- Burns, of Lapeer, passenger on the
east-bound train; leg broken.
Ripley White, of Lapeer, passenger or
the east-bound train; ankle bruised.
- English, of Strathroy, Ont; slightly
slightly bruised.
Mail Clerk Charles Stambaugh, of Davi
son; leg broken.
Both trains were fast mail trains
The eastbound was standing near the
station, waiting for the coming train to
pass it according to custom. The lat.
ter, instead Of slacke ming and stopping
crashed into No. 6. The employees Of
the west-bound train aud the passen
gers of the eastbound suffered the
most. The locomotives were both
badly wrecked and the mail cars are
jammed across the tracks. All the pas
senger coaches remain Oh the tracks
Why the west-bound train failed tt
stop is yet unknown.

It is said Arabs first made butter.
They were carrying milk in skins on

Eggs have always been eaten since
time began. The eggs Of land fowl,
tortoises, crocodiles. ostriches, stur-

In temperate regions Indians eat
grasshoppers. They also eat rattle

eaten the world over. In the Caroline
islands the people have a perverted

mittee places. Then, in open senate
they will vote solidly for their candi-
dates. Of course, they know that their
candidates will not be elected, but the y
will give them solid party ''com,
plimentary vote" T. -
Later on the republicans will hold a
caucus in the house of representa- ives
and caucus in the marble room.~ Each
one of these caucuses wilIsele com
mittee to meet committee from the
other caucus. These joint committees
will formulate some plan concerning
currency legislation and other impor.
tantmatters. Those committees will re.
port to their caucuses; and thus party
policy will be outlined, which will re.
ceive the solid party votes of the ma
jority representatives in the senate and
house; and they will carry their party
determination into effect.
Meantime the democratic senator's
/ and representatives will hold caucuses
and they will determine upon a policy
of opposition. Although in the minor
ity, the democrats will maintain thei1
party policy, and will obstruct party
legislation to the best of their ability
and will defeat the majority if they cal
possibly. do so by any parliamentary
means.
Whether party rule, by caucus, i,
proper and worthy of the continued
support of politicians is a question
which each thinking reader will deter
mine for himself. Young men who are
entering upon political careers will dc
we'll to study the subject of the caucus
and be prepared to take some positive
stand one way or the other. Yong
men will do we'll to make mental note
of one fact, and keep it eyer in memory
Whenever any man of Independent
spirit bolts from the caucus, or refuses
to be bound by caucus determination
it has always happened that such man
lays in a big stock of trouble; and that
he is usually defeated by the conn;varce
of leading members of his own party
The caucus rule is SO strong that any
man who undertakes to openly oppose
it clouds his immediate future.
In December, 1889, William McKin
ley, of Ohio, was candidate for speak
er of the house Of representatives. HI
was defeated in caucus, and Tom Reed
became speaker. After the caucus de-
cided upon Mr.. Reed, and heswas n ON
mated in the house, Mr.. McKirle,
voted with all other republicans fol
Reed, who was elected. If Mckinley
had been made, speaker by that caucu.
he might never have been president
But, being defeated for speaker, he wa.
made chairman of the committee on
ways and means. That committee for
mulated a tariff bill which became
known as the Mckinley bill. That bill
made its putative author the most pop
ular man in his party.s Thus by~being
defeated in caucus Mckinley came tt
the front, and attained the presidency

BEHIND THE SPEAKER.

and that name will probably continue
for an indefinite period. Caucuses ulti-
mately extended from the national cap
ital to the state capitals, and now all
political actions are predetermined in
caucuses. ..:
For example: In the state of Vir-
ginia all of the democratic members of
the legislature, in caucus assembled,
decided to vote for the reelection of
John W. Daniel to the United States
senate. Then, when the legislature
met, all of the democratic members
voted unitedly and Senator Daniel was
reelected. When the Legislature OF
Minnesota assembled there was a re-
publican caucus, and the republicans
present decided to reflect Senator
Cushman K. Davis; and when the legis-
lature met all Of the republicans voted
that way, and Senator Davis was re-
elected. This procedure obtains in: all
OF the states; and the majority party
carries things in accordance with the
conclusions of the caucus. -,
For further example: In December,
ao04, TIC uemOCTdtS OF. the 0dl1Ondl
house of Representatives met in eau
Gus in the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives. The candidates for speaker
Were Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia; Mr.. Spring
er, OF Illinois; Mr.. Mills. of Texas, and
Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee. After q
number of ballots majority of all
present voted in favor of Mr. Crisp
On the following Monday, when the
house of representatives was called to
order, every democrat in the house
voted for Mr.. Crisp, and he was elected
speaker. In another caucus, in 1893,
it was decided to reflect Mr.. Crisp, and
all of the democrats voted in accord
ance with the caucus determination,
and Mr.. Crisp was reelected.
When the congress convened in extra
session in March, 1897, the republicans
being in majority, there was repub-
ican caucus which determined that all
republicans should vote for Thomas B.
Reed for speaker; and when the house
was called to order, Mr.. Reed was elect
ed, receiving all Of the republ votes,
