The Cecil Democrat last week repub-
1ished an editorial from previous issue
of the MIDLAND JOURNAL, on our public
roads, and added the comment
eve would suggest to the Journal that
the first step towards good roads is to get
rid of Machine management"
"Just for fun" suppose we admit such
to be the case and then were we to follow
the wishes of the Democrat the case would
stand Bad roads and no race tracks, or
good ~ roads and bad race tracks
Which is preferable? Let the Democrat
answer for the people aud it would argue
-'tthe latter, of course.'
The proposed reform comes from too
odorous quarters to be effective and any
one can readily see that
when the devil was sick the devil saint
would be,
But when the devil is well, devil saint is he"

In commenting on the recent railroad
wrecks in New Jersey and Arizona, in
which numerous lives were lost, a New
York labor journal sums up the disasters
in the following manner:
iIn New Jersey, the other day, there
was railway collision. Over a score of
lives lost. Engineer to blame. OF course
He always is. He is dead. 1t is easy to
blame a dead man. Next day in Ari-
iona, there was still worse collision.
Photographer to blame. Of course. 1t is
always wage-worker who is at fault.
"Every railroad man, even every OBJ
servant traveller, knows that with mod
ern mogul engines, numerous and heavy
trains, high speed, and long runs Ito say
nothing of defective equipment), the
physical and nervous strain on railway
workers has been enormously increased.
The work and responsibility and worry
and tension wears them out. Some day,
the telegrapher's mind for moment fails
TO work quickly enough or the engineer s
sight is for moment dimmed. Then a
score of lives are crushed out-and the
workman is to blame.
"High speed and heavy trains and long
runs mean big profits for the owners.
Extra men enough to do the extra work
safely would take away part of that extra
profit. Therefore railway men are worked
to the verge of prostration and therefore
we have accidents
'The men whose greed for profit caused
the horrors at Westfeld and Tuscan will
not be punished. Not while parties
pledged to the maintenance of the profit
system are in power. Mild censure will
be the most they will get. To put it more
broadly, it is the system of private OWL
ship and operation for profit that makes
it necessary for people to be thus crushed
and roasted. The whole people should
own the means of production and trans
portation, and operate them for the pub
lie good. That would mean the end of
strikes. 1t would mean short workday,
workmen in good condition, the best
possible equipment, the minimum Of
danger and the maximum of comfort
for ALL"

An effort was made last week to ratify
the Colombian treaty but it failed. SEN
ator Morgan talked for the entire time of
the executive session, five hours, and no
vote was reached The next day Senator
Quay refused to permit another executive
session for the consideration of the treaty.
Senator Morgan's opposition to the
Colombian treaty is also preventing the
ratification of the Cuban treaty, and
meanwhile certain interests hostile to the
convention appear to be gaining strength.

The only change in the Statehood sit.
uation during the past week has been the
addition of the Omnibus bill in the form
OF rider to the Postoffice Appropriation
bill. AS the eonferrees of both the Senate
aud the House, under whose considera-
ton this measure would naturally come,
are all favorable to Statehood, Senator
Quay regards this as a decided victory.
Senator Elkins today said that he regard.
ed the fight as practically won He said
that the Senate would be forced 10 permit
the question to come to a vote and that
the Statehood supporters were quite
strong enough to pass the bill as amend.
ed. Senator Hale, on the other hand.
expressed grave doubt of the QUAY forces
having sufficient strength to override the
chair, which he said, would throw out
the amendment on the point of order
certain to be raised. Even if they mus
tered sufficient strength to override the
chair that will not mean victory. in the
opinion OF Senator Aldrich, who declares
that the Senate will debate bill and pre-
cipltate an extra session of Congress-

precedent, as the passage of irrelevant

WILLIAM BROWN
LODGED IN JAIL
CHARGED WITH HAVING BEATEN A
WHITE WOMAN WITH WHOM
HE is SAID TO LIVE.
SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

Anaconda, Jan. Is.-William Brown.
big. burly black man, was complained
against last night by Hannah Day, white
woman living on Front street who claimed
that he had beaten her.
Night Chief OBrien took the colored
man to the city jail and in making the
arrest he made the discovery that the
couple was living together as man and
wife, but that they had neither entered
into a legal civil contract or been joined
in the usual way. They could not produce
a license, and the night chief locked them
both up and placed a charge of adultery
on the police blotter against them.
1t is hardly probable that they will have
a hearing today for the reason that it is
proposed to turn them over to the county
authorities. County Attorney McCalfrey
will probably ask the district attorney for
leave to file an information against them,
and this will be done tomorrow morning.
The usual plan for stopping all such
cases will not work in this one as the
woman has a husband living and un-
divorced. 1t is not known just where
he is, as he left her more than a year
ago, but it is believed that he is in the
state.

the smelters here for some months and is

FERRIES PL0W IN

DETROIT TRAFFIC HAMPERED BY

DELAYED ON MANY ROADS.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Detroit. Jan. Ia.-Foliowng on the
heels of the most severe snowstorm of the
season yesterday came the coolest night Of
the winter in this city. At 1880 o'clock
this morning the thermometer registered
five degrees below zero. The zero temper
ature was general all over the lower penin-
sula below Alpena.
The car ferries had considerable trouble,
plowing through the ice with their trains.
Both the ferries Lansdowne and Great
Western spent the night in the river buck
ing the ice with passenger trains aboard.
The Canadian Pacific train from Toronto,
due here at ass a. m, spent the night on
the car ferry fast in the river, and did not
arrive here until s 80 o'clock this morn
ing. The international trains on the
Wabash road were an average OF 10 hours
late owing to the ice in the river, and the
Michigan Central and Grand Trunk also
suffered much delay.
Hundreds of people who live across the
line and are employed on this side did not
get to their work until nearly noon, as the
ferries were blockaded by the ice.

CASTRO'S NOTE IS

BERLIN FINDS HIS COMMUNICATION
lNDEFINITE-WlLL TRY TO
RAISE THE BLOCKADE.
nj ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Berlin, Jan. I2.-The foreign Office here
Is somewhat puzzled by President Castro's
last note. He avoids specific acceptance
of the powers stipulations and seemingly
leaves the basis for settlement as in
definite as in his preceding dispatch,
agreeing generally to arbitration.
The presidents reply has really not
advanced the matter at all, but it is con-
fidently supposed he has given Mr.. Bowen
full power of attorney.
The state department at Washington
has advised the foreign office that Mr..
Bowen has sailed from La Guayra. Moth
ing more will be done from this side until
MIR. Bowen arrives in Washington.
May Raise the Blockade.
Rome, Jan. Ia.-Ncgotiations between
the cooperating powers relative to rails
ing the blockade of the Venezuelan coast
are proceeding the main point being the
question of guarantees for the payment
of claims should the warshps be with
drawn. The Italian foreign office rccog-
nizes the correctness OF the contention
in Secretary Hays last note, that con-
tinuance of the blockade will only further
impoverish Venezuela and make the settle
ment of the claims more difficult, and is
desirous of meeting the suggestion OF the
United States.
AT the same time it cannot act without
an agreement with Germany and Great
Britain. As the quickest solution the sig-
gestion Is again mooted whether the
United States might not again be asked
to guarantee the payment of the sums
awarded, now that the situation has SO
completely changed.
