like the product of a brain that is al
ready in an advanced stage of incur
able paresis. Pick out almost any
sentence in your labored letter and
you find it impossible to analyze and
SO obscure that you have to guess at
its meaning.
What for example to you mean by
this sentence picked at random from
your letter:
IF Ingalls, and Plumb were alive
they too would be in the same cate
CORY with the Vardamans and Till
mans, as note their speeches in the u
S. senate on this line. Ingalls, pointed
out the disaster that would overtake
both if amalgamation ever occurred. "
Who would be overtaken by disas-
ter; Ingalls, and Plumb, or Vardaman
and Tillman?
Here is another sentence:
Let me repeat, amalgamatiOn can
only occur by breaking down the So
cial barriers that ought to exist be-
tween the two races, and the way to
get them broken down is by just such
conduct as recently INDUCED at To-
peka-a little at time-a little more,
and so on"
We have an African editor who re-
sides here, Col. Major Jeltz, who has
the reputation of singing the English
language about in a more promiscuouS
and unintelIigible manner than any
other man either black or white ever
born on this terrestrial sphere, but we
must say that as compared with the
sentence quoted from your letter and
several others we might pick out Col.
Jeltz's medleys of nouns, verbs, pro-
nouns and adjectives seem as clear
and lucid as a geometrical demonstra-
ton.
If your language and that of Col.
Jeltz should ever amalgamate think Of
the awful result.

Chicago. Feb. 25.-The train rules
committee OF the American Railroad
association has held meeting and
completed a code of rules to govern the
operation of trains on roads having
three and four tracks.
The committee has been at work for
months and is ready to make recon-
mendations to the general association
at it's next semi-annuaI meeting I'm
doubtedly the rules as prepared will be
approved and adopted by all of the
roads which are members of the or
ganization.
The purpose of formulating code
is to obtain uniform practice on all inn
portant American railroad systems.
With uniformity, it is said. in the rules
and methods of operation railroad ac-
cidents will be greatly lessened-
The new rules are said to be compre-
hensive and include the operation Of
trains against the current" of traffic
under certain conditions. That it is
to say that when the tracks are pro-
perly protected by block signals it will
be permissible to switch a train onto
the opposite track and there operate it
according to certain rules and regula-
tiOnS.

SANTA FE GETS IT.
Arizona & Utah Railroad Now Be-
longs to Santa Fe.

Official announcement has been
made by the officials of the Santa Fe
that the Arizona & Utah railroad has
been acquired by that system and will
in the future be operated as a branch
line.
This road runs from Kingman, Ari-
zona to Chloride. and taps one of the
richest mining sections in the south
west. Last October the road was
washed out and has since never been
rebuilt, as the parties who owned the
road were unable to raise the neces-
sary funds.
In consequence of the road being
tied up, mining operations along the
line have been greatly hampered. 1t is
expected the Santa Fe will at once put
the road in shape for operation and it
is possible will extend the line into
some of the new country being opened
up in southern Nevada.

SENATOR NOFTzGER's SPEECH.
Explained in Detail Why the Old Law
Is Good One.

Is = Good One.
Senator T. H. Noftzger, who made
the principal speech against the board
of control bill yesterday, gave much in
formation touching the relative merits
of the new bill and the old law. He
was in the senate four years ago when
the code of charities and corrections re-
pealed yesterday, was passed No at
tempt was made to answer his argu-
ment upon the merits of the bill. He
explained that the code of charities and
corrections repealed by the board of
control law was carefully prepared and
read before the National Association of
Charities and Corrections four years
ago before it was introduced. It re-
ceiVed the endorsement of the national
association, the endorsement of chari-
ties and corrections and the endorse
ment of men interested and informed
IN this work through years of expert
ence. The law then received the en-
dorsement of the proper committees of
both houses of the legislature and pass
ed both houses practically without
amendment. He declared that it was
the best written law upon the statute
book, except the code of civil procedure.
Mr. Noftzger then explained that the
board of control law had been amended
81 times in the house and nearly as
many times in the senate and was even
now so imperfect a law that the princi-
pal argument made for it was that
would now go to the conference com
mittee where it might be amended
some more. The senator pleaded in be-
half of the 4,500 helpless wards Of -he

cars come from Chicago with the
heater in the front end. The Ell Paso
trainmen do not turn them around
before starting them east again, and
consequently they must be taken from
the train here to the turntable at the
round house and turned around. The
operation requires from fifteen to
thirty minutes. and the passengers
after eating their breakfast have to
stand around in the cold waiting for
them to be brought back. The remedy
is to have these cars turned at Ell
Paso.
