RAILROAD CIRCLES ARE
LIVELY IN BRUNSWICK.
Changes Follow the Contamination
of the A. a BIB. & ID. Deal.

Changes Follow the Contamination
of the A. a BIB. & b. Deal.
Brunswick, Ca, March 29.-Every-
thing is unusually lively in railroad
circles in Brunswick just at present.
owing to the merger of the Atlantic
and Birmingham and Brunswick and
Birmingham, and as a result any num-
Der of changes are being made, men
are being shifted from Waycross to
Brunswick and vice versa and it will
probably be several days before every
thing will be settled.
E. d. Hall, who has been chief clerk
in the office of the general freight and
passenger agent, has been transferred
to Waycross, where he will be chief
clerk in the freight office.
Supt. Bonnyman. Trainmaster Smith
and Car Account Mangham. with their
respective forces, did not arrive to-
day as was expected, but will come
tomorrow on a special train, and will
Immediately establish offices here.
They bring about twenty men.
All the officials of the road includ-
ing Vice President and General Man
ager Wadley, Auditor Swaine, Gem
eral Freight and Passenger Agent Nc
Fadden, and several other officials, will
arrive in the city tomorrow to spend
the day in the city on an inspection
trip, returning in the afternoon to
Waycross.
A handsome new passenger train,
known as the Red Eagle" will also
arrive from Waycross and will be put
on the regular run. This will be a
brand new train, just out of the shops,
and is said to be one of the hand
soonest in the state.
When in the city yesterday General
Manager Wadley stated that the
shops at Waycross had about all the
work that they could do at present,
and while he was not in position at
this time to say positively, he thought
that the shops here would be MAIN
tanned as at present.
Brunswick people generally seem to
be pleased with this railroad merger,
and they all feel that it will great
ly help the city in many ways. They
will give to the new Atlantic and
Birmingham loyal support, as they did
the old Brunswick and Birmingham.

Bryan's Railroad Scheme.

In announcing his conversion to so much of the socialistic programme as calls for public ownership of railways, telegraphs, electric roads, lighting plants. etc, etc., MT. Bryan takes the curious position that, in order to guard against excessive standardization, the railways should become the property of the several states rather than of the federal government. If this Is not merely a recognition of the old states rights doctrine it is evidence that MT. Bryan psrceives the real danger to American liberty which lies in a pro pOsal to add nearly one and one-half millions to the male employees of the national government.
 Powerless as the people would un- doubtedly be to rectify evils imposed by the misconduct of an administration supported by such an army of adher- ents, it appears that in avoiding one difficulty Mir Bryan has fallen into an-
 
 that there shall be, for continental America, AS railway systems, each con- fined by state or territorial boundaries. Does he think that the general boards he proposes could defeat the conse- quences of state jealousies and diverg- ent state interests? Breaking of bulk and transfer of freight from car to car are costly impediments to interstate transportation, but exceedingly profit able to the communities who are thus enabled to impose an effective tax up- uninterrupted and toll-less through their limits. Would it not seem prof itable to many state legislatures to create conditions that would make transhipment at such points neces- sary?
 Again, interstate railways must be constructed for the broad purposes of interstate commerce and not with the narrow view Of state and local inter- ests. How long would the Pacific coast have waited for railway connections and New Mexico had been relied upon for the outlay required for the links of the through line which lie within their respective borders?
 MT. Bryan's entire programme is full of blow holes.

Insurance In Germany

A subject of much sociological inter- est to the people of the United States is the system of workingmen's insur- ance which has prevailed in Germany for several years. The undertaking has passed the experimental stage, and it is evident from the statistical exhibit made by the German govern ment at the St. Louis exposition that the system is founded on enduring principles.
 This. insurance is mainly of three forms-against illness, accident and the disability of old age. The number of those insured against illness amounted in 1901 to 1O,319,654, of whom 2, ,C99 ,O5O were women. The great in- crease in this line of insurance is indi- cated by the fact that the number so insured in 1885 was only 4,67O,959.
 Those protected by accident insur- ance include all workmen engaged in trade, building, navigation, etc, as W ell as in agriculture and forestry, the list including clerks and officials with an annual income up to 5000 marks (S75O) and small employers. The num- Der of those thus insured amounted in 1902 to 17,5S2, ,OOO. The number of those insured against accident has likewise risen. It amounted to 3,OO0,000 in 1885, the first year of this insurance, and to 3,374, ,566 in 1899, when the agricultural accident insurance came into force.
 To carry out the work Of insufance against illness there existed in the em- pire in 1901 22 ITO "sick clubs" with q total number of 10, 319.564 members. Ac- cident insurance is maintained on Q mutual basis, in which employers of similar or related trades cooperate.
 Concerned in this form of insurance in 1902 there were 7,1OO,537 persons in sured, and AS agricultural associations, with list of 11,1S9.O71 policy-holders.
 The total receipts of workingmen's insurance funds for 1901 amounted to 526, ,593, ,726 marks. To each 100 maTks the employers contributed 45.20 and the employees 37.64, while 6.43 was derived from the state and 1O.73 from interest and earnings. The expenses for that year were 424,172,O15 marks An av- craze daily benefit of more than one million marks was paid to persons in sured.
 During 1902 total of 711.330 cases of accident were indemnifled. SIn that year there were AS6945 pensions for disability in force, this number increas- ing to 663, 140 for the present year. The number of pensions for illness in 1904 was 14,1s6 and for the old age 155,6iS. In the matter of insurance for disabil- ity the average amounts of the pen- sions granted are steadily rising. For the year 1901 the average rate amount ed to 113.E9 marks; for the year 1902 14s.74 marks. The average pensions for illness are somewhat higher CISCO. 147.- 73 marks; 1902, 154.13 marks). The av- craze of old age pensions has risen from 124 marks in 1891 to 152.97 marks in 1902. ALA,

Kuropatkin's Reports.

General Kuropatkin may not win his battles, but he at least takes care to impart all his news to his imperial master in cheerful spirit. In his dis patches to the czar he scorns to take General Buffers famous "I regret to report" telegrams from the Boer war as a model Kuropatkin sees a silver lining for every cloud.
 "The Japanese succeeded in turning our left flank, but we made a masterly retreat" Finding our position in the center untenable, our troops withdrew unable to overtake them "The enemy enveloped our right wing, and General Skeedaddlesky withdrew his division, making remarkably good time to a po- a few of our troops. who were not in good running trim, were taken by the enemy" Tn an engagement this morning the Japanese developed unex- pected strength in our front, and their artillery fire was so well directed that our troops withdrew from the field. Their retreat was executed in superb style and with record breaking speed. venture to humbly recommend that your majesty bestow a medal on Ivan Lightoutquicksky, who arrived at my headquarters ahead of all the rest" 'The three Japanese armies are evil lv 1.I movement all along the line. I am con- fident of the result, however. AL though the weather is unbearably hot I note a remarkable improvement in the running ability of our troops. In an engagement on our left this morn- ing the Japanese succeeded in reaching our OutpOsts before they were observ- ed, and a brilliant engagement fol- lowed. Our troops hit the road only in the high places. I have given or ders that the high places in the roads north of us shall be removed" "In an engagement today our troops won new glory for the Russian arms. They made the best time yet" Il find that the rifles, uniforms and camp equip ment greatly impede the movement of our troops. Have taken measures to get rid of this impedmenta. This pol | icy has two advantages, which I hum ply venture to believe will commend themselves to your majesty. The Jap | anese are an avaricious race, and when they find guns, knapsacks and clothing along the line of our retreat they stop to gather up the plunder, and thus lose time. And it is obvious that our brave soldiers can run much
 faster when not weighted down with these accoutrements." "We had the Japanese or the run all day yesterday. and very few of them overlook us. beg to congratulate your majesty" And so the dispatches read from day
 to day.
