Record for Accidents.

Washington, July 29.-Accident
bulletin No IL, which has just been
issued by the interstate commerce
commission, gives on account oiraiI-
road accidents In the United States
during the months of January, Feb
ruary and March, 1904, and shows
that during that quarter there were
40 passengers and ISL employees
killed, and 995 passengers and 1902
employees injured, making in all 22l
persons killed and 2T97 injured in
train accidents. Other accidents to
employees and passengers, not the re-
suit OF train accidents, bring the
total number Of casualties up to 49,
203, being 70 passengers and $40
employees killed and 1890 passengers
and 1851 employees injured.
The total number OF fatalities from
falling off cars is 32 per cent less than
those reported in bulletin No. 10
This, very likely, Is due to the In
creased use of air brakes on freight
trains, diminishing the necessity fol
employees In charge of such trains tc
ride on the tops of the box ears.

The scent of the violet or rose is as
precious as the lovely flowers whose
breath they are, and while the lives of
flowers are brief and we can only enjoy
them for day, the beautiful woman gives
the pleasure of her fragrance to us as a
permanent blessing. The soft fragrance
of q beautiful woman suggests purity,
health and elegance; she is the refinement
of civilization; an index always of good
taste and an unerring badge of gentility.

The prohibition movement promises to dwindle into insignificsnce this year and there is no indication that the pro. hibition canvass, however vigorously it may be conducted, will result in any injury to either of the great political parties. The most enthusiastic tenn perance workers are now confining their efforts to regulation rather than the prohibition of the liquor traffic, depending for ultimate triumph of their principles upon education rather than the enforcement of sumptuary laws The records show that the pro. hibitionists have never secured vote in the electoral college and that their total numerical strength has been get ting smaller and smaller at each cleo. tion. In the national campaign of 1892 the prohibitionists boiled 254, 133 votes as compared with l32, ,007 votes in 1896 In 1900 the total prohibition vote was 2OS, 900, and a significant feature of the returns is that the vote for the na- tional prohibition ticket was most in- significant in the states which have tried prohibition laws.

George Bernard Shaw's latest book ought to delight all the cranks. It lays down the proposition that the reason able man merely adapts himself to the world, while the unreasonable man per- sists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Hence all progress depends on the unreasonable msn. He who lis tens to reason is lost. Reason enslaves all those whose minds are not strong enough to master and overcome her. He who successfully wrestles with req son and objects to things generally wins something of a reputation for himself. and he is accounted by some folks very superior sort of person. The shopkeeper, for instance, takes this view and goes out of his way to accommodate and please the customer who makes the most trouble.

THE ADVANCEMENT OF MEXICO

It is a most satisfactory picture of conditions in Mexico which is drawn by United States Consul General Han na in a report which the state depart ment has just issued. Indeed. unless Mir. Hanna is too optimistic, Mexico has entered upon an era of such sub stsntial prosperity ss to excite not only our admiration, but possibly, our na- tional concern.
 It is O matter of considerable import ance to American manufacturer, for ip- stance, to know that the new steel plant at Monterey is now rolling ont steel rails, the first ever produced south of the Rio Grande that structural iron is being manufactured in large quantities, and that the mountains of Mexico contain iron ore in such unlim- tied store as to insure the raw mate rial for iron and steel products for centu- ries to come. Nor is the development of Mexico confined to this all import ant industry. Goal and oil have been discovered in large quantities, affording abundance of fuel and assuring to Mexico commercial independence which the United States cannot afford to ignore.
 Material development cannot, how ever, go hand iu hand with political unrest and instability in government. It is, therefore, a matter of some i'm portance to note that Consul Hannas x presentation of the political conditions is fully as roseate as his picture of com mercisl progress. He laughs to scorn the rumors that the government Is frail structure, which will topple and fall as soon as President Diaz relin- quishes control. "There is no more of the spirit of revolution in Mexico to- day, he asserts, "thaD there is in the United States" and he adds that the spirit of unrest which existed some years ago has entirely disappeared. The people, he says, are following closely the development of tue natural re- sources of Mexico and have tasted the reward of their labors.

ASCENDENCY OF THE WEST

It looks very much as though New York had lost her supremacy in fnsn. cial affairs. Wall street Is 10 longer the barometer of business conditions, but rather tue country looks to the great central aud western states to determine the degree of prosperity that the coun try may reason .bly expect to enjoy.
 Last year, it will be remembered that the serious disturbance ln 6nsncial circles, due to wild speculation and in hatlon of values, was confined almost wholly to Wall street There is no doubt that conditions were nearly ripe for disastrous panic, which would al most certainly have come about hal it not been for the financial strength of the west, where business continued hourishing and the banks were full of money.
 This year the same situation in the west is emphasized, the financial insti tutions of the trans Mississippi country having funds available to meet every essonable demand of the crop moving season. The country seems also req sonably assured of large, if not bum- per crops again this season, and a re- newal of the prosperity ot the past several years
 In this connection it may be stated there is an unusual plethora of money at financial csnters throughout the country, which is explained as the uat. ural result of the precautionary lull in business that always occurs in presi- dential years.

WII.LIE'S VANISHING BOOM

A staff correspondent of the Chicago Record Herald, at St. Louis, has wired tbst the Hearst boom is thin air. Bets were made there that the young Napo. leon of yellow journalism would not receive one hundred votes on the first ballot. Large numbers of the dele. gates credited to Hearst will not vote for him for fear of being "i,shed"
 The core 'pondent says
 "The fact that any considerable mum. Der of delegates to national conven. tion will bolt their instructions rather than face the ridicule they know they will receive. and iu fact are receiving on account of the tie that was supposed to bind them to the New Yorker, is a condition probably unprecedented in national politics. It was the irst time a presidential candidacy could have been used in this way.
 "The piles of Il ,arst literature and thousands of buttons aad badges are unoalled for. There are few H sarst Autographs stuck up in hotel Hobbies. An occasional dsleg ,te ciu be seen wearing Hesrst badge.
 "Bat the men that are playing the real politics of this convention hay, ceased to take the Hearst pr oposition as even pestiferous. They know they can crush it at will. Ia fact, 1t is no longer a case of how many delegates Hearst will have, but how many the opposition will give him."

The worst oyerworked scbeme "a

The worst overworked scheme to ge money from credulous public il Globe is the rsffle. Hardly a weel passes that person suspected of hay. ing loose dollar about his clothes is not importuned to take chance ip something that he doesn't want, and has no use:for. The owner of the prop. erty. in fixing the price to be realized from the raffie. adds to the original cost 25 to 50 per cent and also liberal allowance for drinks and other .lepiti mate" expenses incurred in obtaining subscribers, and by this method of brilliant financiering, the value placed on the article to be rallied is generally two or three times its actual worth. and yet there are not lacking suckers to in. sure the success of the scheme The fact Of the matter is, the average rsft,e Is nothing less than graft, and we think s halt shoald be called on beba,f of long suffering public.

There seems to be DO reason why Grover Cleveland shouldn't have his new country residence mp in New Hampshire equipped with private telegraph or telephone wire, if he de- sires such accommodations. They are quite common nowadays in all country residences, and as rule those whom they accommodate are not thereby sus- pected of having presidential aspira- tions. Quite likely MT. Cleveland wants to be in touch with bis fellow citizens and with the news. That's all right, proper and not necessarily sus- picious.

An Important Ruling

Judge Sloan rendered decision in a case heard before him, in Prescott this week, which is of interest to stock men. The case involved the point of law that raiser of cattle could not sell his own product without obtain ing butchers license. The case was tried before jury, and the judge in structed for verdict in favor of the defendants. It appears from this case that the owner of stock may kill and sell in any quantity he may choose, so long as he is not engaged in the butcher business. .--Coconino Sun.

kind of mention, if any. shall be made Some would ignore financial questions altogether others would have plank like that in the Mississippi platform, expressing gratitude for the increase in the supply of metallic money by the discoveries of gold, and others would declare squsrely the party's confidence in the gold standard. Mir. Bryan is counted on to fight the first and last mentioned plans. The question, along with the others affecting the platform, will probably be carried to the floor of the convention in minority report. Parker's friends are said to favor the last named plan.

It Is to be called Fort Me- kinley, and it will surpsss anything in the way of military post anywhere in the world when it is completed This doesn't look like evacuating in hurry.
