For years the organized railroad men have been
demanding in vain show in the courts. They have
never received it from the judges who before they
went upon the bench, railroad lawyers The bill
which has been passed by congress has been before
for years and owes it's passage now to the feeling
stirred up in the present session of congress by the
discussions of the railroad question Heretofore it has
never been gotten out of committee
The bill makes provision for the protection Of the
men engaged in the moving of interstate commerce
upon the railroads. It does away with the fellow
servant doctrine and brings in that of comparative
negligence. This in general way means that if the
employee injured show that his negligence
slight compared with that of his superior thru whose
fault he hurt he may be able to damages

Napoleon and Maxirnilian.

THE ill-starred expedition Of Macmillan to Mexico
l. and the subsequent tragedy Of mis- execution by
Jaurez is recalled by the publication of Professor
John Bassett Moore's work American diplomacy.
One Of the important chapters of Professor Moores
work is that the Monroe doctsne Professor Moore
satisfied after reading the letters of Seward that
there had been in the archives Of the state de-
partment letter from Louis Napoleon In which he
explained the situation which led him to send French
troops into Mexican territory and in which he dis
ayowed any purpose to establish empire there.
MI. Moore did not find the letter, tho he believed
he had traced it to the hands Of President Lincoln
1t is said there is in existence such letter. that
it written to an American who had befriended
Napoleon when he was in America and who remained
his confident thruout his life When the Mexican
petition broached the American told Napoleon
this country would tolerate it and that there
upon the emperor wrote letter Intended to be shown
to Lincoln in which the objects of the expedition
set FORTH and permanent occupancy Of Mexico was
disavewed. T.. a. -ts
This is not the historical atmosphere of the Maxi
milan rcident. Diplomacy has heretofore credited
Napolennw with an attempt to make phEmanent land
ing American soil In fact, it has newer been de-
MED that he induced the Austrian prince to accept
the nomination emperor of Mexico merely because
he not prepared to set up French throne there
there may be in this letter. II cannot alter

ing and things coming our way. We are told that
have beautiful city, and we have naturally, but
it isn't fault to any great extent. Our self com
placency is likely to be Jared little before the
summer IS unless take more active and lntell
gent steps to meet the emergency than have been
accustomed to heretofore -s~ ~.-
One thing which the real estate board wants to do
and which may look like small matter is, after all
of no little consequence. They want everybody, and
particularly those in peculiar positions to render
such SERVICE to get the habit of giving information
People come back here from the cities and talk
about how clever and oblging and helpful are the
streetcar conductors and the policemen and everybody
else in Los Angeles, San Francisco Tacoma and
Seattle in giving visitors information about these
cities and directions to how to them. The
streetcar conductors to know something about the
town and to be disposed not only to questions
but furnish information about points Of interest to
those who evidently visitors. Policemen are
efficient in the way, while casual acquaintance
person met the street is ready to furnish all
kinds Of information about the town to visitors.
We going to have visitors here this sum-
than we had before, several times over, and
want them to have good time. It would help a
lot if the street railway company would put its
ducors thru school Of instruction, giving them
printed matter the subject and drill them on Min
neapos and how reach various places Of interest
in and about the city. The chief of police should do
the thing with his police force, while nothing
will afford visitors satisfaction than to feel that
they made welcome by the citizens generally and
that everybody taking pains to that they
have good time ~

What a Man Is Worth.

nR. ERAsTUS E. HOLT of Portland, Me-, has
~ taken the trouble to figure out the economic
value of a man at different ages. He finds that boy
of 10 economic value of COL At % the
value of laborng is IS 1885, while at 70 it is only
$l1s After that the citizen who continues to breathe
owes the community money with every breath he
draws.
DR.. Holt agrees with Osler in putting the maximum
value upon the professional at 40 years. Then he
represents value of $29,344.
AS a general basis of scientific generalization,
these figures doubt have their usefulness, but it is
the exceptions that the world looks at It sees Mark
Twain, John Burroughs and President Eliot Har-
ward and refuses take in the fact that most of the
men of their age have become a charge the COM
munity. =sES:
Besides the value Of life cannot be measured ac-
curately in dollars and cents. The grandpa in the
chimney may be worth more as an inspiration
to the grandchd at his feet than he was in his
own career The figures take account of the moral
values which the real values after all. AS gen
eralization upon how much m%n may be expected
to in lifetime, Dr. Hollis ngures may have some
value. But they wrong from the over emphasis
which they place on the essentials Of life
