EUROPE FAvORs RUSSIA.

London, February "a 1t has
been ascertsined by most careful In
vestigation that the European public,
as rule, favors Russia in the pres
ent conf ct in the far east. A cor
respondent yesterday polled all
Europe through other correspondents
and the results show that 80 far as
sympathy goes Napoleon's prediction
that Europe would be ''allrepublican
or Cossack" has been fulfilled by its
being nearly all Cossack. England
itself is Loyalty for Japan, though
old fashioned conservatives, of whom
The Spectator is the moutbpiece,
still deprecate the alliance, ss they
fear it may release some Frankenstein

his acting with real comic OPP

the varied pathos and humor that
combine in the life of a stroller.

a LEGISLATIVE RECESS

The Lynchburg News of today
says editorially that a resolution
has been offered in the Virginia
Legislature providing for a recess
after session of thirty days until
January 10Th, 1905. The reason
assigned for this resolution is that
a mass of new legislation was
enacted by the last General AS
sembly, and more laws will be
passed at the present session. These
laws will be tested in the next
twelve months. in order that de-
fects may be revealed, so that it
may become necessary for the law
makers to assemble next January
in order to devise remedies.
That sounds plausible, but it is
not convincing. The Constitution
provides biennial sessions of the
Legislature. The next regular
session will not begin until January
1906; meanwhile if any necessity
arises the Governor can call the
present Legislature to meet in extra
session. He may well be trusted |
to do his duty if any emergency
arises calling for the presence of |
the lawmakers. The people of
Virginia have had Il surfeit Of
legislation in the last few years.
rhe convention and Legislature,
which existed for four years, have
made changes enough to satisfy
he people for while. Now let
is have a rest. Let the present
legislature perform its constitu-
iona duty, and then adjourn,
eaving the Governor to watch the .
curse Of events and call for the 1
ssistance of the lawmakers in
ase of necessity. =

Railroad Fatalities and Injuries

For the past five years the railroads
OF the country have averaged killing
81 persons each day and woundine
139. This makes over 1000 killed in
a year, and over 80, 900 wounded. One
man was killed last year for every
II miles of railroad
These figures seem very large, but
when the whole number OF people
who travel is considered, the percent
age of fatalities is still very small.
II is said there were 5,210 collisions
last year. Other accidents reached
many thousands, and yet consider
ing the number OF accidents the loss
OF life resulting was very small.
Many persons censure the railroads
severely for the great number Of
accidents, Tut this censure is not al
ways just. No one for moment
believes railroad officials wish TO
have accidents. On the contrary
they are more deeply concerned to
avoid accidents than anybody else
can possibly be, and their constant
study in to increase railroad eff
cheney.
4 large proportion of the killed
and wounded are railroad employees.
1t is some satisfaction to the people
who travel to know that very few
passengers who occupy their seats
in the cars, are either killed or wound
ed.
