ACCIDENTS ON THE RAILWAYS.

Granting that there is a greater
mileage of railroad in this country.
the proportionate travel is probably
greater in England than here. What,
then, is the explanation of the fewer
fatal accidents, or, rather, the almost
total lack of accidents in that coun.
try as compared with the frightful
mortality on our American roads? The
exact solution Is probably not easy,
but the most natural explanation
that will come to the mind is that the
British roads are better managed and
that they are held to much stricter
accountability by the authorities. An
other reason also is the total absence
of all grade crossings in England and
the universal employment of the best
of safety devices and signals, the
block system being practically uni
versal.--New Orleans Picayune.

ate prices from the consumer. what
would happen to the non-trust produc-
ers? How would they escape the con-
sequences Of competition in the inflow
of lower-priced commodities from for
eign mills and factories? They would
not, of course, escape It; any school
boy can see that, provided he wishes
to see it. Judge Parker, being Dem.
ocrat, does rot want to see it. He
wants to smash the tariff; that Is all
he sees.
Exactly the same blind adherence
to a partisan idea is shown in the
proposition to withhold all tariff bene-
fits from manufacturers who sell to
foreign consumers at lower prices than
those maintained in the domestic mar
ket. 1t is a characteristic Democratic
proposition to smash the tariff and
abolish protection because an amount
not exceeding one per cent Of the to-
tai of manufactured products, not four
per cent of the manufactured exports
of the United States, is disposed of in
foreign markets at reduced prices. In
order to deprive a few manufacturers
of the privilege Of disposing Of their
surplus production abroad at the best
prices obtainable-a bargain counter
privilege which is exercised more or
less in every known branch of trade
1T is seriously proposed to take
away all tariff protection from the
thousands of industrial producers
whose yearly output reaches the enor.
nous total Of $4,000, 100000. That is
the Democratic idea of valid excuse
for attacking the tariff. That is
Judge Parkers idea. We think him
sufficiently explicit alike to satisfy
Democrats and to warn Republicans.

Some Democrats, recalling what

correctly define its position with re-

The ease with which good men, and

respect Of their private lives, find ex-

1t will continue marvel for long

DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:--I cannot
praise Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound too highly, for ID
is the only medicine l ever tried which
cured me. l suffered much from nv
first menstrual period, / felt SO weak
and dizzy at times could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, l had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, 1 was sick all over
" Finally, after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in q short time 1 was in
perfect health. 1 felt buoyant, full of
life, and found all work pastime.
am indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

duced. 1t is most essential that the
body should be duly protected from
cold. The elements Of the cure are
the long stay in the open air and the
increased atmospheric pressure due
to the rapid motion, which expands

TRIALS OF ARTISTS.

Artists will tell you 1t is no easy
thing to paint man in a frock coat
so that he shall appeal picturesquely
to the casual wayfarer. The modern
habiliments affected by the male per.
son do not lend themselves to artistic
reproduction on canvas. There are no
scintillant colors, no fine lines Of form
in a trousered poseur, and to achieve a
successful portrait Of man is to spell
the artists capabilities in capital let
tiers. With women models-well,
there the story is Of different cast,
just as woman herself is so wholly
different, so enchantlngly complex

Nor would he stop there. He In

facturers are, by means of a monopo-
listic tariff enabled to sell their arti-

home. or, rather, are permitted to
charge at home prices higher than

ties on all such articles should be re-
duced so as to correct that injustice
to the American consumer"
Being a Democrat, Judge Parker
looks upon the tariff as a tax. All
Democrats so consider II. Nearly all
Democrats, while recognizing in the
tariff a necessary means of providing
revenue. contend that II should have
no other function. Most of them would
prefer an income tax. Practically the
entire body Of the Democratic party
is antagonistlc to the protective func.
ton OF tariff. A considerable ma.
jority of Democrats are avowed free
traders, while a minority seem to ia.
vor some sort Of protection, provided
II is not the sort that protects.
To the latter class Judge Parker
apparently belongs. He would revise
the tariff and distribute equltably its
benefits" How? We presume he does
not know. The Democratic record OF
distribution Of tariff benefits has in.
variably been anything but an equal
distribution. In the Democratic scheme
Of tariff making foreign producers
have mover failed to reap the lions
share Of the benefits, while domestic
producers and domestic labor have
never failed to get the worst end Of
the distribution.
Judge Parker feels himself on safe
ground when committing himself TO
the reduction Of tariff duties on com.
mo1ities competing with trust prod.
ucts. To smash the trusts he would
smash the tariff. Evidently he does
not consider II worth while to calcu-
