PAY OF RAILROAD MEN.
Wage Farmers Have Profted Because |
of Republican Policy.

of Republican Policy.
The last report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission shows that the total
compensation paid to railway employees
of all classes in the United States in
creased from S37, 1913, OBJ in 1896 to
$41 ,S2S555 in 1902. This in itself would
indicate general railroad prosperity dur
ing six years of Republican rule, but still
more significant is the fact that the
greatest increase was among the wage
carriers. In fact, there was a decrease in
the salaries paid general officers. The
decrease in this item was from $IG3. 096,
in 1896 to $720.6SO in 1902-a decrease
of 2,416 in six years.
On the other hand, the total yearly
compensation of station agents increased
from 81, 366.925 in 1896 to 81 ,462 ,S74 in
1902; the yearly compensation of en-
gineers increased from SO OPT ,5S4 in 1896
to $3,451 .0SS in 1902; that of firemen
from 81, 1880 in 1896 to $1,046.246 in
1902; that of conductors from 81 ,97S, 165
to 81, 539. 466; that of other trainmen
from S3,TOO,O63 to $4.697 ,272; that of
machinists from 81, 12S,6 1884 to 81 ,422, 500;
that of section foremcn from 1920, 634
to 81, 377 1854; and so on through the
whole list. The figures show that the
daily wage earners in the railroad bust
ness profited largely by Republican pros
perity.

One of the Strong PecniIarities of the
Dem ,cr ,tic Party.
The Democratic party has been aptly
compared to q man sitting in the last
seat In the last car OF railway train,
and riding backward. He never saw
anything until he had got by it. This
striking popularity of the party is as
conspicuous to-day as it was in the six
ties. seventies. eighties and nineties-
The Democratic party lives to pro-
test to warn, to oppose 1t never APP
preciated what the war for the preserva-
ton of the Union meant until it was all
over. Even now n large section of 1t
has not arrived at the civilized view of
slavery. 1t takes about a half century
To get any great event into correct focus
for the Democratic eye. OF late, some
of the Democrats have begun to realize
the greatness of Abraham Lincoln, but
these Democrats are men who have re-
ceived their education In Republican
communities. SO obtaining the benefits of
up to date schools. colleges and churches
The full significance of the American
occupation and control of the Philip
pines has not yet dawned upon what
takes the place, in the Democratic make
up. of understanding Neither has the
open door In China affected the same
set of nerve tissues and atoms, in the
least because of some constitutional lack
of power In the combination to compre-
bend what is going on at the time when
the thing is happening.
For the same reason the immense i'm
portauce and significance of the estab-
lishment of the new department of Com
merce and Labor with Bureau of Cor
porations. has not dawned upon the Dem
ocratic mental machinery.
Well, never mindl When the living

the Democratic brethren will see, in a
hazy manner. from their perch at the
end of the train. And they will, as u.s.
ual, protest, warn, oppose and then
dream on!
The Democracy always wears long
distance glasses and looks backward over
the track. IL by chance it takes off its
"far-aways" and looks ahead. it turns
into Republicanism. This happens. some
times. Witness the many recent CONVEX

In 1860 when the Republican party
first came into power this was almost
exclusively an agricultural country and
the policy of the Democratic party was
to- keep it so. That party said the
United States is destined to be the gran
airy of the world, but manufacturing
country, never. The Republican policy
was to make it a great manufacturing as
well as agricultural county, and It has
done so. In the year 1900 the United
States produced one-third of all the man
ufactured products of the world and
shipped them broadcast to foreign mar
kets. This never could have been done
under the Democratic policy of free
trade.

LABOR CONTROVERSIES.
Republican Legislation Provid ing for
Arbitration.

Arbitration.
The only national legislation providing
for the arbitration of labor controversies
ard recognizing organized labor was en-
acted by the Republicans. On June 1,
1898, President Mckinley signed bill
passed by a Republican Congress entitled
''An Act concerning carriers engaged in
interstate commerce and their employees
1t should be understood. of course, that
Congress could not legisate for employees
in general but it hus authority to regu-
late interstate commerce. The act re-
ferred to provides that whenever a con-
troversy arises between an interstate
railroad and its employees the Interstate
Commerce Commission shall first offer
mediation, and. that failing, shall en-
deavor to bring about arbitration of the
dispute. The act provides that if arbi-
tration is agreed to, zone member of the
board of arbitration shall be selected by
the employer, one by the labor organiza-
ton to which the employee belongs. and
third by these two" Another section
of the law makes it a misdemeanor for
any interstate railroad to dismiss an
employe or threaten him with loss of
employment for belonging to a union.
This law is still in force. and it is the
only piece of national legislation that
recognizes organized labor Democrats
have talked, but Republicans have acted.

Change of Habit.

The chimney swallow built its nest
somewhere long before the white man
constructed chimneys, the potato
bug had its home ON the plains before
it ever knew a potato, and the common
elm beetle has fed voraciously in the
mountains of North Carolina on a
species Of skullcap scutellaria, touch
ing apparently no other plant, in To-
calities where the elm was not to be
found. In gardens half starved bees
have taken to grapes and raspberries.
Once when there was no rain from
the Fourth Of July until Oct. -, every
thing having become parched long be-
fore, and insects living on green food
did not increase, the robins took to
seeds and green fruits. The apples
in the orchards were dug out as if by
mice. An American Golden Pippin,
with a heavy crop, presented re-
markable appearance with what
should be apples hanging on the trees
like empty shells. In brief, no crea-
ture will ignore the promptings of
nature. 1t will change It's habits when
necessity demands.

BONE STRUCTURE.
The Compact and the Spongy Kin,
and Their Strength

anu 4hcAr Strength
Bone is of two kinds, compact and
spongy. AS the result of careful ex-
periments it has been shown that COM
pact bone Is twice as strong as oak,
considered simply as building mate
rial. In the shaft of long bone it is
in reality much stronger than this, for
it is arranged on the advantageous
principle Of the hollow pillar, which
gives the fullest resisting power with
the least possible expenditure of sub
stance
The delicate layers and bars OF
spongy bone are arranged on the prin.
ciple of an arch, enabling very consid-
erable pressures to be resisted. 1t was
found that a cubic inch Of this tissue
taken from the lower end of the thigh
bone and weighing only fifty-four
grains was quite uninjured by a dead
weight Of 44S pounds.
The curved bones which roof in the
skull are constructed to resist great
pressure, while they check the trans
mission of shocks to the brain. Ar
ranged in the form of a dome, they
consist of compact bones, with a
spongy layer between These are
known as tables" Of the skull The
outer and inner tables are immensely
strong, while the middle table serves
as buffer by which the force of blows
is distributed.
