REMARKS ON THE SIDE.

Reminder of what the Iowa Republi-
can platform does mean. The Sioux
City Journal states that the Iowa Repub-
lican platform does not say of the policy
of protection that sit has enabled the
laborer to successfully insist on good
wages" 1t might say that without great
improperly, but that is not what it does
say The platform says sit has enabled
labor--to secure good wages and has in
duced capital to engage in production
with reasonable hope of fair reward. .
Democratic newspapers exhibit weakness
when they change the text of the plat
form in order to satisfy themselves with
the amount of fault they are able to
find with it.
''Big Bill' Devery comes in for few
lines from, The Rochester Democrat
Chronicle: 'Mr. Devery claims to be
able to make the next contest for mayor
in New York quite interesting. His
friends to the number of 10000 are re-
ported to have signed petition for his
candidacy. At recent meeting Mr..
Devery is reported as follows concern
ing the attitude of Herman Ridder, as
expressed in an alleged interview with
Mr.. Plat: 81 see that Herman Ridder
has told Uncle Tom that he can't stand
for Little Eva any longer. Little Eva
is that toasted marshmellow of mayor
we've got down in city hall now. Well,
Ridder is good fellow and we'll take
him and all his people into our party
and give him a good place on our ticket"
Devery is great man in his way. Dur
ing his career as a police official wealth
came to him in a way that is not fully
known. But he is able to cultivate poll
teal humor and hold meetings without
danger of bankruptcy

The Most Abiding Language.

Latin is the language that has most
enriched modern tongues, for its clear
echoes are heard to this day in every
quarter of the world. 1t entered large
". after their conquest by Rome, INTO
the dialects of Spain and Gaul' coun-
tries thoroughly permeated by Roman
life and civilization, and has since
played a great part in the history Oh
modern languages.
The Roman tongues are pracucaliy
Latin in a new dress. italian may be
called the Latin of today; French ana
spanish are based on similar ground
work. and English has borrowed large
" from the language Of Rome, either
directly or through foreign channels.
In very early times Latin colonists ID
troduced into Britain names for places,
and i'm the seventh century many eccie-
siastical words of Latin origin, such as
altar. priest, candle, were adopted by
our forefathers.
Although it may not be so flexible
and plant as some languages with
which it has been thus Incorporated,
Latin reflects admirably the practical
character of its people, who felt and
used their power so that 1t has been
we'll called the "voice Of empire and
law"

The Alleged Train wrecker.

The arrest of Robert Hamilton, a
former section hand of the Southern
Railway, charged with wrecking the
New York and Florida express tram on
the night of February IA, has attracted
considerable interest. The particulars
in connection with the arrest were gwen
In Yesterdays Gazette. Hamilton IS
about thirty years old, unmarried, and
has lived near Ravensworth several
wears. He was arrested two years ago,
charged with attempting to wreck a
Chesapeake and Ohio passenger train at
Rayensworth. He was in Jail long
time but was finally released because
tbe case could not be made against him.
II was understood at the time that ne
had a grievance against an engineer
named Walter Fowler, who had ac-
cidentally killed some turkeys belonging
IN Hamilton and declined to report the
matter as being too trivial. Bad feeiins
hes II is said, continued to exist be-
tween the men and Hamilton is said 10
have more than once threatened that he
=, ,uld get even. Fowler still has the same
r wv ne had two years ago and should
bave hen running on the time OF the
train wrec &ed on the 14th ultimo. After
Hamilton ,Sad been released from
cnstoJv wear 6r more ago, he left the
co,,ntry hut retu.~ med to the Ravens,
worth neighborhood about the hr't o.
the present year.

The Recent Ra ilroad wreck.

The coroner's invest tgaticn OF ID p.iu,
cent collision between the Sou oerh On r.
limited and another passenger yam :" =,
Danville, which resulted in the 'osS -
two lives and the injury of seN S'n'
other people, was concluded yesterda.' '
afternoon. The jury rendered a verdict that
Joseph E. Macarthur and w. Z. Neal,
the men who were killed, came to their
deaths through criminal carelessness and
negligence on the part of the Southern
Railway Company. The findings of the
Jury were embraced in a lengthy docu-
ment which dealt in detail with the causes
that led to the broader charge. 1t was
determined that the Southern Railway
Company does not employ enough men
to properly transact its business; that
there are not sufficient number OF tracks
in the yards at Danyille to accommodate
the trains handled; that a wreck was in
,evitable because all of the tracks were
occupied, and that proper orders were not
issued to properly take care of the bust
ness. 1t was further determined that
John Baize, the hagman, was the party
O irectly responsible for the collision.
