THERE'S a notion in the air to
organize the housemaids, the cooks
and all the domestic legions of Chi
cago and other cities, and declare war
against master and mistress until de
mands for higher wages and shorter
hours of labor are granted. 1t is pos
sible that the ever troublesome "'ser-
want girl" question is to become even
more vexatious than it has been here
tofore. Modern Martbas as q rule ara
not numbered with much serving.
a general strike of servant girls
might not be without its humorous
incidents, but it would be a dire
calamity in the long run to many a
household.

THEY WILL KNOW BETTER SOME DAY

The opposition on the part of the
Union to reliable fire alarm system
will occasion as much surprise as
Mayor Knox's attitude on the same
question Neither is competent to
Judge of the requirements of the situ-
alton on this particular point, as it is
a matter of which neither has the
least comprehension. The opposition
that the Union encouraged here for
years to the paid fire department-in
those days when it went into costa
sizes over the teams that went sin hot
haste" from livery stables, while
buildings were burning-may be Wv
idly recalled.
That Mayor Knox, even after the
paid system had been in success
full operation for several years, did
not then appreciate it's advantages
or essentials was shown when, dur
ing his first term, he permitted it
to run down to such an extent that it
was necessary after he went out of
office to get an expert here from Chi
cago to restore order and discipline.
And Mayor Knox is opposed to pro-
viding an adequate alarm system for
the reason that he cannot see the need
OF it. Like the Union-and as both
were with reference to the paid de-
partment-he will not see the benefit
of the alarm system until it is run
ming.

S6,277, KILLED.

In the Thirteen years ending
June 80, 1900, according to the
official report the railroads of the
United States killed S6.211 PEG,
pie. This makes an average of
!, 636 death per year on the rail.
There were 469,021 persons in
iured within the some period
In the lists of The dead and hurt
there are many employees OF the
various roads, and as the number
of passengers carried reached the
enormous total of 576,S65, $50 the
safety mark Of travel is to be rated
higher than the casualty figure
suggest at first reading. Neverthe-
less both the total and the average
of killed and injured for the
thirteen years are startling con
tributiOns to the mortality tables
of the nation.
Barring the year of our great
civil strife, war has not done for
us anything like this deadly work
of our railways. In the twelve
greatest battles of that war the
Union loss in killed was only about
5000. Yet the locomotive is
popularity numbered among the
missionaries of peace. A com
plete analysis of the fatality re-
turns would be interesting and
perhaps instructive, showing to
what degree calelessness is re.
sponsible for the slaughter" on the
rail.
