THE RAILROADS.

ACCORDING to statistics a railroad train
40 the safest place in the world said
Archie Gray of the Great Northern rail-
way today, ""The percentage of the people
killed on railroads is much smaller than
the percentage of people killed from
other causes. I mean by that, If you
take the number of people who meet Vlo-
lent deaths in a year in the United States
other than in railroad accidents you will
find the percentage, computed on the en-
tire population of the United States,
greater than the percentage of those who
meet death on railroad trains, computed
on the number of people who travel DUR
ing the year. Therefore, I say to people
who are seeking safety to seek it in flight
on a railroad train.
The prevalent idea Is that railroad
travel is dangerous, but the fact is re-
markable, though it may appear that a
person is safer on a railroad train than
in pursuing his daily avocation in the
city which he calls his home. Well
equipped railroads are continually look
ing after the we'll being of the travelling
public, and every conceivable kind of a
army of men is employed and eternal
vigilance is exercised.
1.-THE claim department of a railroad
company is something the public at large
knows little about. Railroads pay out
thousands and thousands of dollars that
the public never knows about. In the
ordinary avocations of life men may
suffer injury and receive no compensa-
ton whatever, while if he is injured on
railroads ~theco1npany controlling the line

creep into the courts, but these are gen.
orally filed by people who are unreason-
able in their demands. People as a rule
are inclined to be fair, and as a result
the majority of claims are settled out Of
court. Railroads are far more charita-
BILE that they are generally given credit
for. Many men, wholly through their
own carelessness, nave lost their lives
or limbs, and their widows and families
in the case of death have received con-
ISOLATION In the shape Of fair-sized checks.
Where permanent injury has been inflict-
ed the men as a rule are not overlooked
by the companies. The pubic knows
nothing of these charities. for they are
charities. because it is the policy of all
roads not to make public anything in
relation to the claim department"
The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific railroad

showing it's trackage and all the mining
claims on the hill. The last government

THE (Phoenix) Enterprise re- ports Sam F. Webb as 'giving the lashp to Governor Murphy 1t a recent democratic pow WOW in that city. It says Mir. Webb showed how vitnlly interested our people (of the Salt Rfver) are and how much damage could he done, should Murphy and (northern) sheep be allowed full sway in this Territory. Yes, this is vital question, and the people of the north should CD cast their solid vote for Mark Smith and against Mir. Murphy. This is the duty of not only democratic sheepmen, but also the duty (?) of all republican sheepmen. We shall await till after the election to see how many demo crats in the north. have cast theil votes for Smith, and for the South ern Pscinc railway, and for th' especial interest of tour people o the Saltriver valley"

Exports of American tools snd D4- oAinery do not show the ahrinkags in volume which recent reports would in- dicats. Some concern has been ex- pressed by leading export houses by reason of falling of in foreign orders due to the high prices of iron and steel. In this connection it will be interesting so note that the exports of builders hardware, saws and tools during the fiscal year 1900 were the largest iR the History of our export trade, being eS,- 64e,o17, against s7,s43, ,s72 in 1899, So,' ssY, ,4ee in 1897 and ss,soO. .lss in 1896, prior to which year the exports In this line had never aggregated @ much ss 6 COG, ,000.
 While our chief market for machinery is still to be found in European Soun- tries, an increasing proportion is being sold in the far east. especially in Brit iBh Australasia, Japan and India. In 1898 our exports of builders hardware and tools to British Australasis amounted to ss77,63s. in 1900 they az gregated $1, ,32S, ,793; in 1898 our exports In this line to Japan were $7o, 800, while in 1900 they were $106,25l. Our exports of typewriters to British Australasia in 1898 amounted to soo, ,o3S. while in the Aseal year 1900 they were &1Gl,o ,oez; t0 Japan the exports of typewriters in 1898 amounted to but $4,220; in lS0o they had increased 10 $T,2oe, and in 1900 to el6,s7s, of which sum $39l1 were exported during the month of June alone, thas ferecasting in some degree the possibilities of future de- vslopment In this article of export. Commenting upon the increase in ex- ports of typewriters, 6 prominent American manufacturer is quoted by the New York Commercial as saying:
 'sThe demand for American typewrit- CTS was never greater. and our mA- chimes are pretty good globe-trotterA We have just made 6 shipment to Pun tas Arenas, on the Straits of Magellan, ct the extreme southern point of South America. and another lot of typewrit- CTS has been sent north oVladiyostoek, Russia, fer the use of the imperial gov ernment. Many of the missionaries and foreign business men In China use our machines. and nearly every American regiment in the Philippines has from three to i've machines; and aa business increases at Manila under American auspices there will be big demand for typewriters. The typewriter has be- come well-nigh universal in its use, and is found in all the large business houses In the principal cities of the world. and It's keyboard represents nearly all Ian guages. The exceptions are the Jap snese and Chinese. As their cherae' ters are upright and composed of many hundred figures or signs, 1t seems prac. tIcally impossible to produce them on the typewritsr's keyboard"

THE republican Mass meeting at
 the Assembly Hall last night was an enthusiastic one and the Hall
 was filled or rather jammed, leav- ing no standing room. The meet ing was called to order by Hon. J.
 l.. Hubbell, chairman of. the county republican centr al committee. Be fore introducing the speakers, Mr ,. Habbell delivered Q few broad-sides into the enemy, and scored that party for its dilatory policies, or rather lack of policies. after which he introduced Judge J. H. Collins of Prescott. Judge Cnllins' speech was hot one, and fiOm start to finished he poured solid shot of facts. into tho party of
 "paramount issue" that convi need about everyone present, that the democratic party never had any thing to stand upon, except it b. some one brother ''paramoRt issue,

THE BATTLE or THE BALLOTS.

Ere another issue of this paper reaches our readers, the battle of the ballots" will have been fought to finish-lost and won--as you look at it from your political point of view. For the sake of our com mon country, it's glory. it's good name, and its future prosperity, We sincerely hope for a republican vic tory on the 6th instant.
 The election of Mir. W.J. Bryan, possessed as he is with anarchistie and pepulistic notions, we hon. estly believe, would bring chaos into the business affairs of the en- tire country, and @ repetition of the business panic of '93 and '94. However, we cannot believe the sound sense, coupled with the, solid business interests of seventy five millions of Americans, are go- ing to permits a revolution in their business affairs~
 Tho country wants no new ex- periments by professional agitators nor does it want professional jasssmitb in the White House. No time now to swap horses; let we'll enough alone, is a very good motto to observe at the preseRe time.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

Stand up gentlemen for the honor and good name of Arizona, and vote the straight republican ticket from top to bottom.
 live want statehood, and it goes without saying that we do, it be- comes a paramount necessity to send Gov. N. O. Murphy to pre- sent our statehood case in Wash ington. There is neither sense nor reason in sending Mark Smith to present our application for state hood before republican congress- and to republican President, as he could not possibly do us any good in the line of statehood. Even were Mir. Bryan elected, a bare possibility at best. the situa- ton would still be the same, as Mir. Smith would have to deal with republican congress. We are ready to admit however, that with democratic congress and demo- cratic President, Mir. Nj. A. Smith could no doubt represent our case | in statehood matters, better per- haps than could any other demo. crat in Arizona. But congress is now largely republican and must continue so for the next two years, upon the suppositive election of Mir. Bryan at this time; and on the other had, the almost certain re election of Mir. Mckinley would necessarily still further strengthen an already strong republican con gress. Therefore, what under the shinning Sun can Marcus Aurelius Smith do for us under these con- ditions? Nothingl Absolutely nothing.
 It is an indisputable fact, that the real simon pure democracy oi the country are for sound money and bitterly opposed to the 16-to-l fa6ism of populistic Bryan. Il naturally follows, even with democratic congress, that Mir Smith, who represents the 16 to-1 fad in Arizona, would be certain to have his statehood propositions incontinently turned down by q democratic congIess.
 The logic of ali this is: To get statehood, which is the hearts de- sire of every true ArizOnan, wt must elect Mir. Nathan O. Murphy to be onr next delegate to congress by whom our plea for statehood will be presented to a republican tcongress for it's fair consideration This is the paramount issue ant the only real issue before the pee pie of Arizona st this election.
 Again we say: stand up gentle men for the honor and good name of Arizona; vote for your own in terest in statehood: and to do this cast your ballot for Murphy auc Statehood.

BALTIC. g. Lehigh's Business at Belair.-
The amount of business transacted at the Bel
air station of the Baltimore and Lehigh Rail-
way during the year 1899 presents several graf.
flying features and while as whole it falls
slightly short of the preceding year, the two
great causes to which that decrease is Justly
attributable do not in any way detract from
its usefulness as an index of the amount of
traffic which is handled at this place.
The respective sums to which each month
in the two years is accredited show that during
February, 1885, the decrease in receipts more
than covered the entire deficiency for the year,
being for that month $472.08, while the re-
ceipts for the entire year 1899 only exceeded
those of 1898 by $45522. 1t will be remem-
bered that all traffic was suspended entirely
for seven days right in the heart of the busy
season on account of the blizzard, while the
changes in the canned goods market caused all
who were able to do so 10 hold on to their
stock, large quantity of which is yet in first
hands and the shipments for 1898 we're largely
in the shape of clearances preparing the fac
tories for the pack of 1899. The tables show
the following as the receipts of the two years !:
In 1898 the receipts for freight received
amounted to So. Al and for freight forward
ed $3,012.87, while the tickets sold realized the
sum of SO, 901.49.
In 1899 the corresponding figures were as
follows: Freight received $9.843 So; freight
forwarded, S2,65852; tickets $40, 4S4 l3.-Bel-

Fine Hay From a Sixth District Farm
About O'Clock on Tuesday night last three
six-mule teams, with immense loads of fine
timothy hay, passed through Towson on their
way to Baltimore. They were driven by
Lewis Martin, William Royston and George
Price, and the hay was from the fine farm of
Judge Melchor Hoshall, in the 9th district, IS
miles from Baltimore. The wagons were
loaded on Monday and they were so wide and
high that the teamsters experienced much
trouble traversing the country roads between
the starting point and Wiseburg, on the York
turnpike, a distance of six miles, on account of
the low and projecting limbs of the trees. many
of which had to be cut away before they could
pass. The loads were weighed at the Eastern
Scales on Tuesday morning and the aggregate
was about twelve tons. Mr.. Martin, who is a
9th district farmer, bought the hay in the bar
rack at 80 per ton and sold it in Baltimore for
about SIG. 1t took the men nearly four days
to do the loading and make the round trip to
Baltimore.

Bill in Equity Filed.-Messrs. John +.
Centrum and H. Arthur Stump, attorneys for
Robert E. L. Meyers, next friend of Susan
Ford, Lucy Ford and Henry Ford, infants,
and others, have filed bill in equity against
George Brehm and others, to obtain decree
ratifyiDg and confirming an exchange of prop
critics made by or on behalf Of the infant plain
tiffs and others with George Brehm, one ofthe
defendants. Some years ago Mrs. Ann Ford
died supposedly intestate and some time there
after her real estate was mortgaged to the de-
PENDANT, George Brehm. The mortgages de-
faulting in their payments the mortgage was
foreclosed, the mortgage becoming the pur-
chaser. Some time in February, 1893, duly
executed will of Ann Ford was discovered
among the papers filed in the Office Of the Reg
lister of Wills of Baltimore county, by which
she gave all her property to her son, Achilles
Ford for life. subject to certain yearly cash
legacies, with remainder to his children. Mr..
Brehm acquired all the interest of the legatees
under the will, except the children of Achilles
Ford under the foreclosure proceedings, and
under executions and levies on judgments.
