The overtaxed Railways.

cleveland Leader.
Railroad officials have much solid
evidence to support them in their claim
that many serious accidents of the
past few months have been caused by
the OVertaxing of railway equipment
and employees The plea that there has
been too much work to do is a sound
one.
The records show that in the guam
tity of freight transported and the
number of passengers handled the
growth of the business of the railways
of the United States has been much
more rapid than the increase in their
mileage, their equipment, or the size
of their working force. Old facilities
have not been enlarged fast enough to
meet the rush Of business which has
come with booming times. though there
has been rapid and extensive improve
ment of the whole railway system of
the country. Ordinary foresight could
not estimate rightly the increase in
the traffic which American railroads
would be called on to handle. The re-
suit has been many vexatious delays
and not a few serious accidents.
These conditions mean that there will
be a vast amount of railroad con-
structiOn work done in the next two
or three years. Tracks will be relaid,
curves and heavy grades will be cut
out, single-track lines viii be double
tracked, and third and fourth tracks
viii be put down in some cases where
roads already have two good tracks
and many sidings. The strong de-
mand for more and greater locomotives
will continue, and the car works will
be busy turning out the biggest and
strongest cars yet made. Through a
multitude of industries. down to the
coal and iron mines. the effect will be
stimulating to business, and that, in
turn. will swell the traffic of the rail-
ways.
These conditions are among the signs
of continued activity and general pros
perity which cannot be ignored by the
most chronic pessimist who does not
refuse to see the salient facts of Amer
lean trade and industry

would increase her imports from US by

INGALLS, TO BE THERE.
Bust Of Famous Statesman in

go into lha- vacant Kansas niche IN
StatuaTy han IN the national capitol
Waggener's resolution instructing the
Kansas delegation to see that this be
done passed the house today by & vote
of 100 to 3, and it went through the
senate without opposition
Three house members who voted
against the resolution were Ballard ane
johnson of Decatur fusionists, and
Stavely, a Republican. Every othcl
Democrat voted for the resolution e1-
cept Bowman, King of Lane and Tatunl
who were absent
StaVely explained that he voted
against the resolution for the reason
that while ingalls, might be entitled to
the honor as a literary man, he was mol
entitled to it as a statesman and a Re
publican He never did the party any
good, declared Mr.. Stavely. He never
made any votes, and I do not believe he
is entitled to this honor
Several of the Democrats paid tributes
TO ingalls, in explaining their votes.
Broadbent said thar while ne had no
use for ingalls, as a politician, he ad-
mlred him as a man and thought him
entitled to the honor Roughton said
that as a rOck-ribbeds Democrat he is in
favor of doing what is right, and he be-
ieved that ingalls, is entitled to all the
honor Kansas can give him Besides, =
Roughton explained, Il admire him for
the way he skinned the rebels"
Cyrus Leland was not present when
the resolution was passed.
An amendment had been made by E1v
ans of Lyon that the name of P. 3.
Plumb be substituted for that of IN
gals, but it received little support to-
day. 1t caused Bale Waggener to dOu-
bic cross himself on a parliamentary
point. When Evans amendment
was about to be put he made a motion
that il be laid on the table. not think
ing about it carrying the original mo-
ton with il. The motion to lay On the
table went through with a whoop, and
Enright then made the point that it ear
ried the original resolution to the table
also. This rather knocked Waggener, as
the point was undoubtedly a good one,
but Nation came to the rescue with the
statement that Evans motion was
substitute instead of an amendment. II
was a pretty fine distinction but Speak
er Pro Tenn Jones held it a good one un-
til the record was looked uD and il was
found that Evans motion was really an
amendment. Then the house had to
back, carry a reconsideration and vote
down the Evans amendment, and then
pass the resolution.
