Most mems belief il likely to bs
staggered by . declaration that mod
ern railroading is more dangerous thas
war.
Yet the report Of the interstate com
merce commission seems to bear out
that declaration. During the year cod.
ing June 20. 1899, there were 81 .743 cas-
ualities to persons by reason OF railway
accidents. OF these. 7.l23 were killed
and "a ,s23 injured.
Thus il appears that while more than
$1,000 persops y ere killed or wounded
by accidents, cut Cd . total OF 227 ,5T
railway employees. other reports show
that there werc but l.64o men killed OF
wounded in the war in the Philippines
out Of an army Of G3.OOo.
Further than this, computation
shows that the total number 1t killed
or wounded 10 the Philippines, and in
South Africa. including Americans,
Filipinos, British and Beers. has bssa
considerably more than Is, 600 less than
this great array Of railway casualties.
II does not reflect on the railway man

companies to hurt anybody. II only

II is now probable that Senator Han
ma Will not desire to fiil more than his
present term as senator, for General
Dick has already announced to his
friends that he will be a candidate.
General Dick would not make this an
nouncernent unless he felt sure that
Hanna would be out OF the way. Dick
says that the state convention. next
year. will endorse Foraker for the sem
ate. He was endorsed the first time he
ran and Hanna was endorsed when he
got there. Dick thinks 1t is now easier
to work a cut and dried convention for
an endorsement than to go to the people
direct. 80 he favors that plan again for
Foraker. Some of these gentlemen may
reckon without their host. There is
such, possibility as a change. The
people will know more about the trusts
and the monarchfal intentions Of the
powers at Washington by that time.
and It Is not SO difficult matter to
elect a Democratic legislature in Ohio.
The senator who succeeds Hanna and
probably the one who succeeds Foraker
is very likely to be a Democrat.

view of "throwing an anchor to oswind-

have the reputation of being men of

during the recent campaign Mr. FILL
declared that he voted for Bryan in

believed that he did not go to the polls.
Mr.. olney did not pretend have voted
for Bryan. He " registered in

While there is no doubt about the
efficiency OF the late landslide as an
Office getter for the Republican party,
the statement that 1t is the greatest

The really greatest landslide in our his
tory occurred in 1920 when James Mon

received 231 electoral votes to 1 cast for
John Q. Adams. In other words Mon

opponent. He beat Adams SO badly that
he turned around and made him his
