announcer wreck OCCuTT0u MOuuoy
on the Union Pacific at Sunal, Neb..
about Is miles from Sidney, caused
by q collision between the fast mail
and the limited. The trains which
collided were the fast passenger,
westbound, No. 3, which was rum
ming as double-header, and east.
bound passenger train No. 2. The
eastbound train had stopped to take
the side track to allow the west
bound train to pass, and had not
been able to get on the siding when
No. 3, running at the rate of forty
five miles an hour, crashed into 1t.
Four persons were killed and eight
injured. A young woman, Myrtle
Armstrong of Paxton, Neb., and
three men, names and residence un.
known, all in the chaircar, were
caught in the wreck aud burned to
death.
The only conclusion that the
railroad officials can arrive at is
that the accident was caused by the
engineer on the westbound train
falling asleep at his post.
Four cars were entirely consumed
by fire and several others were sc
badly broken up as to DO practi-
cally valueless. The three engines
which were among the finest used
by the road, were entirly demolish,
ed. A new track was built around
the wreck and the traffic was de.
layed only a few hours.

One of the worst railroad wrecks
in recent years occurred Monday
on the Lehigh Valley railroad, three
miles from Bound Brook, New Jer-
sey. 1t was caused by head-on
collision between two passenger
trains. Eighteen people were killed
and forty-6ve injured. The awful
accident was due to q blunder in

The Bryan idea dominated the
Iowa state democratic convention
which met this week. and both the
Chicago platform and Bryan's can
didacy were war My endorsed but
if the democrats have decided for
silver. the republicans stand none
the less strongly for gold. The
denomination Of Governor Shaw by
the republicans is evidence of this.
He is a conspicuous exponent Of
the gold standard, and won in 1896
against the same candidate and the
same combination as are pre- ;ented
this year. No one will assert that
either the cause of free silver or Of
fusion has grown stronger in the
past few years. The campaign is
significant only in this, that it
shows that where Bryan influence
is dominant the fight will be made
on the old issues. Organism has
learned nothing from the cam
paigns Of 1898, and is willing to
plunge again on long odds.

Guessing at the Situation.

Special correspondents in their
endeavor to hit upon solution Of
the railroad situation, have now
placed the great railroad presidents
in very peculiar position
Through them President Mellen
claims that the war is over, that he
has obtained concessions from the
0. r. & N, but that the details
are not worked out yet. President
Mellen is reported to have said,
I'VE have even begun TO reach a
basis of settlement" This is as
vague as ito be about TO be-"
Meanwhile, says another of the
good guessers, "the work on the
Lewiston. Riparia line will be sus-
pended after September 7, but all
orders are TO rush the work till
that date, then drop it for six
months"
If there is any possible basis for
settlement of the present conten-
ton, it looks as if the O. r. & n.
would demand something for sur
rendering the rich territory to her
rival. IT the lewiston Riparia line
is not to be completed, where can
there be any basis of settlement
The Northern Pacific, with its
Clear water and Lapwai branches,
will haul the freight of the country
via the Spokane & Palouse over it.

The good results following the

ocrats, notably William R. Grace,
ex mayor of New York, who pub
licly acknowledges in recent in
terview published in the Philadel-

changed his views regarding this
economic question, He says: II

the amazing growth in all that
makes for permanently prosperous
conditions and in all influences
that have so recently established
the United States as first power
among the nations Of the world
not only politically but financially
and commercially, is due in great
measure to the policy Of protec-
ton, l never dreamed that the
time would come when should be
willing to make an admission OF
this kind. But facts are stronger
than theories, and the fact remains
that in the past six years we have
had abundant proof that there is
some fallacy, so far as the United
States is concerned, in the doctrine
which the democratic party hello
aud which Mr.. Cleveland pro.
claimed in his message and, or
the other hand, there was truth in
the claims made by Mckinley, b,

The Discomfort OF Labor.

The discomfort of labor in demo-
cratic times is quite d tferent arti-
Gle from the discomfort of labor in
republican times. Then the dis
content arose from the fact that the
laborer could get no employment
whatever. He fed in the cities at
the free soup houses and formed in
great armies OF the unemployed
under General Coxey and headed
for Washington. Mills and fac
tories were closed and distress was
everywhere.
Today conditions are far differ
emf. Labor is in demand in every
field OF human activity. When
labor is in demand wages increase,
and if they do not increase fast
enough laborers strike to force the
issue. In the hard times conse-
quent upon the working of demo
cratic policies the laborer lucky
enough to have a job had no idea
of striking. Ten of his haplcss
tellow-men stood hungrily by,
ready to take it at any price that
offered food for sustenance.
The man who can look out over
the industrial field today and see
i'll the present conditions anything
to be pessimistic over is a man
whose mental vision is warped by
party prejudice. There is cry
ing demand for labor in every field
OF industry. Work Tor the able.
bodied was never so abundant as
now, aud never were the offers of
wages more tempting. Here in
the west conditions are too we'll
known to need any citation. In
tine Mississippi valley a similar
condition prevails. In Minnesota
and Dakota, according to a Chi
cago employment agency, the farm
ers are offering Sc day for engi-
neers to run threshing machines,
81 a day for feeders. s. day for
good sackmen, and S2.25 to s.. so
for common harvest hands. Not
withstanding these exceptionally
high wages for this class of labor,
the farmers of the northwest are
badly crippled in their harvesting
operations by the lack of sufficient
help.
But the cry for help does not
come from the farmers alone. There
is a steady demand in all lines OF
outdoor industry at good wages,
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company is building double track
from Newark. Ohio, to Chicago
Junction. 1t is offering So a day
and free transportation for un-
skilled laborers, and is unable to
secure enough help to push the
work with desired rapidity. A
careful survey of the industrial sit
uation all over the country war
rants the statement that every able
bodied man in the Union who wants
work can get 1t at remunerative
wages. 1t would seem that the
discomfort of labor is rather CHI
merical than otherwise.

An Index OF Prosperity.

Railroad business is sure index
of general business. No one needs
to be told that when the great in.
land transportation systems are
rushed with busine $ and straining
to increase their facilities to meet
an increased demand everybody
else must be extremely busy.
From Chicago the report is that
every railroad entering that city
to day needs more cars than it has
or can get to meet the demand OF
shippers. This condition is not
due to any great and sudden in.
crease in any particular traffic, but
1t is due to the steady growth of all
kinds of traffic. From all indica-
tons the year 1899 will eclipse all
former years in the volume of bust
ness done by the railroads. This
year, instead of the usual summer
dizziness in trade and traffic, the re-
verse has been true; there has been
a general activity in all lines, and
the fall business promises to be
phenomenal. Contrast present con-
ditions with those of 1895. and then
