When the Newhall house in Mil
waukee burned, on the morning of
the 10th of January, 1883, and a
hundred or more people we're aw-
fully hurried into eternity, there
was agitation all over the United
States for the legal enforcement OF
precautions to protect guests of ho-
tells from the danger of death by
FIRE. Such laws rapidly become
dead letters. There have been
numerous hotel fire horrors since
then, though none quite equaling
it in the number of fatalities. The
last one worthy of especial mention
occurred in Chicago in the early
morning one day last week, causing
the death of fourteen persons.
And it now comes out that the Lin.
coin hotel was trap-just a plain
old ordinary fire trap. Such things
should not be. There are laws pre-
scribing precautions. There are
officials in Chicago and every other
city charged with the duty Of en-
forcing them. What is needed is
not more laws or more officers, but
more vigilance on the part OF the
officers to enforce the existing laws.
1t might be good plan to indict,
convict. and hang q few of the off,
cisls, who, by their negligence,
allow people to suaer death in
these fire-traps. Wake up.

Statistics show that there are few
er libraries now in proportion than
there were tiftysyears ago. This
seems strange in view of the facts
that the very best books are obtain
able at remarkably low prices, and
nearly every boy and girl are now
taught to read. Some say that the
newspaper and cheap magazine
take the place of the standard books
which were read half a century ago
that we wish to be up-to date. II
this be true our taste has surely
been perverted. How can one ap-
preciate his present privileges and
advantages if he reads nothing
which teaches him what the cond-
itions were which led to the present
state of affairs2 And does the cur
rent literature alone supply him
with data on which to base judg-
ment with regard to the futureP II
every home possessed a good libra
ry made up of history, biography,
poetry, and fiction, and every boy
and girl in the family we're encour-
aged by precept and example TO sc-
quire taste for good reading, we
believe there would not be 80 much
talk even in our midst about the
fact that there is no place to go,
and no way in which to amuse ones
self especially in the long winter
evening. Why not be old-fashon-
ed and have a family gathering
around the lamp each evening, each
member of the household supplied
with an interesting book?

Something new in the way of
vehicles has come to view again.
It is q continuance that is used in
the logging camps of Maine. 1t is
very much like a steam locomotive
in appearance, but it is claimed for
it that it will run equally well on
earth, snow or smooth ice. 1t is 80
arranged that there can be no Slip
ping even on glare ice. 1t carries
an engine of 100 horse power, and
without load can climb any grade
that man can climb on foot. We
see no reason why this should not
be utilized in resching the north
pole. With plenty of coal. there
seeu,s no reason why this might not
be done.

Ion. Thomas Bracket Re

Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed,
better known as Speaker Reed"
or Gear Reed" died Dec. 7 in
Washington, D. G. His death was
somewhat of a surprise, for al
though it was known that he was
quite ill it was not thought that he
would die. On the eighth the house
paid remarkable tribute to the
former speaker by adjourning
There are but three previous occa-
sions on which this was done, name
ly at the deaths of Benton, Blaine
and Alexander Stephens. For
twenty-five years, he was member
of the House and for six years it's
speaker. In the resolutions placed
upon the minutes the house says,
"a distinguished statesman, a lofty
patriot, cultured scholar, an in
cisive writer, an unmatched debater
a master of logic, wit and satire,
the most famous of the worlds
parliamentarians, the great and re-
preventative citizen has, gone into
history" AS has been the case
with nearly all great Americans,
Thomas B. Reed came up from the
ranks, and by his natural force of
character, and ability compelled
recognition.

The fight over the contr Of of the
G. F. & I. %. which has been 60
ing ON fos over = year, and has
been, bitterly fought for the past
six months is at last settled, and in
q way that q. present seems very
satisfactory. This has been one of
the most ferceiy fought contests ev-
er known over the control of a cor
poration. The result is practical
insurance that it will not go into
the hands of the steel trust. By
the present settlement the Gould
interest, the Hawley Hartman in
terest, and the Osgood interest each
has four directors and all parties
have agreed on President Hyde of
the Equitable company as the thir-
teenth member. The Denver men
who have been in the management
will keep their places, and the pol
icy of the company will be one of
progress and development. 1t is
thought so far as can be judged
thas the present decision is the
best that could be for the interests
of the company, the benefit of the
railroad interests and the good of
the public in general.

A system OF mining which differs
from any known in any other part

Another great American has
passed away. Thomas Mast. the
veteran cartoonist, died of yellow
fever within few hours OF the
time of Speaker Reeds death. It
may be remembered that last spring
Mast sent one of his matchless car
toons to Secretary Hay, represent
ing himself with his bag packed,
ready TO start for any place to
which he received an appointment.
Secretary hay took the hint and
sent him to Guayaquil, Ecuador. as
censul:genersl. He went to his
appointment last July, but did not
enjoy his honors long. He deserv-'
ed political preferment, as his ser
vices to the country. and to the Re

there is less dishonesty now in pro-

WHAT'S GOING ON.
FIVE MINUTES WITH THE BIG
NEWS OF THE WORLD.
The Coal Strike Settlement.

Ii was definitely determined Tuesday at
the convention OF coal miners representa-
tives at Wilkesbarre, Pa, that the miners
would accept President Rooseyelt's plan
for arbitration. President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers strongly urged ac-
eeptance. There was some opposition
from miners who feared they would not
get their places back, but when the ques-
tion was put to vote it was carried unanl-
mously. The men will resume work as
soon as the superintendents can prepare
for them. II will require several weeks,
proba bly,, to get all the mines in full oper-
alton again, though the output Will be
large at the end of a week. The prices OF
all kinds of fuel have gone down with the
prospect of coal. The commission ap-
pointed by the president, to whom the
differences between operators and miners
are to be submitted, consists OF Gen. John
II. Wilson, chief of engineers, u. ). A.
Bishop John L. Spalding of Peoria, Ill,
noted as prelate and author; Edward w.
Parker, L. 5. geological statistician and
expert census agent; Judge George Gray
OF the L. S. circuit court; G. Il. Clark,
grand chief of the Order OF Railway Con-
ductors; and Carroll ID. Wright, U. >. in
dustrial expert as recorder. This commits
sion has been accepted by both parties
and will meet at Washington, Friday, the
24th. Its report is expected m about a
month. A letter from John Mitchell to
President Roosevelt was given out Friday,
in which Mitchell made answer to the
claims and charges OF the coal operators
and scored them sharply.
