Among the Railroads.

Another accident in the West in which
a railroad wreck caught fire with the re-
suit that several persons were cremated
whose lives otherwise might have been
saved, calls attention anew to a coEdi
ton which, as the World has repeatedly
pointed out, has the remedy Immediately
at hand.
The lighting of railroad trains with
gas or oil is relic of the past and
should not be tolerated longer. Efficient
and economical electrical appliances for
lighting the cars are being used on the
finest and fastest railroad trains. The
explosive gas tank and the deadly oil
lamp have been relegated to the scrap
heap on many of the up-todate railroads
and in the interest of the safety of the
travelling public electric lighting should
become universal. If the railroad COM
panies fail to look after their own best
interests and extend this protection State
and National legislation will in the end
compel them to do so.-New York World.
The statement of earnings and expenses
of the Norfolk and Western Railroad of
The year ended June 30th, shows that the
net earnings of that system of roads
made a substantial gain last year over
the previous year. The total earnings
amounted to SIT ,552 204, and the expenses
amounted to ,227, the net earnings
being $7,415,977, an increase of $1,022, 665.

"a collapse is coming" says the Chi
cago Chronicle, "and it may come this
year." and it adds: ut will be best, per-
haps, for the Democratic party and the
country to let the Republican party stay
in power until the crash comes. Ihen
the guilty party will have to take the
consequences and a party of rational
economy in expenditures and of general
soundness in both economic and political
policy can come in with good chance
of staying in until the national sanity
is re-established"

MANAGES say, Republicans begin to whis-
per a story into the ear of weakened
Democrats, and try to get them to run
as Independent candidates, or as straight
Republican nominees. But 'it amt a
KNOWN kind O. cattle as is ketched with
mouldy corn" Did you ever hear of these
folks begging Democrats to run for a
good office on their ticket when there
was the slightest chance of electing their
ticket? Oh! no, sir! They'd have a reg
ular tussle among themselves to see which
one of them could get it. But now that
their party is shorn of members and re-
spectability they'd no doubt like to use
few Democrats to help pull them out

thunder before they'd give you nubbin.

THE MILL MAN AND PROTECTION

Fayetteville Observer.
One of the curious things in industrial
life, to which the Observer has been call
ing attention for the last eighteen years,
is the fact that Southern cotton mill
owners, OF all people in the world, should
favor that colossal fallacy, a protective
tariff Whatever effect the tariff may
have had in building up the mill indus
try of New England, by preventing the
agricultural South from buying in the
cheaper markets of Europe, it is mani
fest that it has had nothing to do with
the building up of the Southern milling
industry. which is now overtaking that
of the North by leaps and bounds; for
there is no tariff wall between the South
and the North but, on the contrary, abb
solute free trade.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-08-08

The effort of many Republicans to sep
arate the trust issue from the tariff is
sue~d does not commend itself to the Ne
braska State Journal (Rep.), which says;
THAT there are protected trusts, no one
disputes. The contention is confined to
the general proposition that such trusts
arc incidental. But why these trusts
should not be restrained and brought tc
equal terms with others by the modifica-
tion of the protective duties or their re-
moval, is the real question. To this point
the discussion should be held

The friends of Hon. John Gray Bynum
will regret to hear of his death. 1t is
doubly sad because it came as the result
of an accident. Judge Bynum had served
with ability on the Superior Court bench,

TWO ATTACKS IN FRANKLIN PARK
POLICE AROUSED.

Assaults on girls by colored men have

the women are in a state of terror, and
the police of some of the divisions are
in a condition of frantic activity
In Cambridge, in the south end, and in
the Franklin Park district the black
terror" as the colored assailant has
come to be called, has caused feeling
of panic among women who have occa-
sion to be out after dark. The chief
scene of activity last evening was in the
Franklin Park DISTRICT, where two girls
were attacked.
The attacks naturally created great
excitement in Boston. 1.-The streets of Old
Hombridge were almost deserted last

of late have frightened people. The Off

port that they saw but few people on

Telling of the trial of negro convicted
for a criminal ASSAULT upon white wo-
Yesterday he was arraigned on two
charges, assault and intoxication. On
the former charge he was sent to the
house of correction for two months and
on the latter charge was convicted, but
the case was placed on file
The Atlanta Constitution, commenting
on the above extract from the Post, truly
says:
Two months in the house of correction
for criminal assault upon a white wo-
man! The courts of Boston seem to be
becoming severe. Will these judges be
called to account by Boston best
thought or will the sentimentalists re-
sort to the simpler method of getting a
pardon for the negro from the Cover
nor?"
If the Boston idea is that 1.-TWO months
in the House of Correction" is punish
ment enough for a criminal assault, the
Governor will do well to keep that ne
gro charged with arson in Boston. He
will have a fair trial in North Carolina
but if guilty he will get no such light
punishment in this State where it is the
intention of the makers and executors Of
the law ito make the punishment fit the
crime"

of past years Madison county

This is because our people have

ourselves to blame for our small
