Casualties Analysed.

| The interstate commerce commits
sion's report on railroad casualties in
1905 shows a continuation of the steady
increase in the total of fatalities and
injuries. 1t is most impressively stated
when it is announced that the rail
roads kill 26 persons every day and in
jure 23S. In year they kill as many
persons as there are in city almost as
| large as Rock Island and injure twice
the number of the entire population Of
larger cities.
More than half of the fatalities, how
ever. are due to tTespassing upon the
tracks, although but a tenth of the in
juries are due to this cause. showing
an extraordinary rate of mortality. 1t
would be unfair to blame the railroads
for this portion of the casualties, since
in the main they are due to contribu-
tory negligence. The greater number
of casualties is found from among en-
ployes. This is divided into four caus-
es, which show approximately the same
number of injuries, about 5000, al
though there is a variation in the fatal
tiles, the largest number being due to
der following. from trains jumping the
track or coupling accidents. This last
has been decreased by the enforcement
of the safety appliance law and may be
expected to diminish as the law is more
generally obeyed.
Three-fifths of the number of passen-
gers killed and injured were victims of
collisions and derailment. One passen-
ger is killed or injured in every seven
employees killed or injured. Where one
passenger is killed ten trespassers are
killed. Yet the ratio of passengers kill
cd to passengers carried is increasing,
and as is the ratio of passengers injur-
ed. The presidents intention to press
for Legislation for the better protection
of the travelling public and railroad en-
ployes will find strong supporting argu-
ment in these statistics.

The Cuban Election Machinery.

The troubles in Cuba which resulted
in the next thing to the destruction of
the republic, and which may yet so end.
grew out of the elections. The machin-
cry of conducting elections in the island
are explained in this way: Under the
Cuban election laws the mayor of a
community appoints the registration
board of two members for an election
district, choosing from the voting lists
one of the oldest and one of the young
est voters. After the millennium, per-
haps. some merely human mayor may
appoint one from each of the oppos-
ing parties. At present he does not;
they are both of his own political COM
plexion. This, however. is regarded on
all sides as perfectly fair. for the mayor
himself is an elected official and his
bias is presumed TO at least represent
the majority of the community. The
president has the right to remove a
mayor on charges and appoint a new
one for the remainder of the term of
office. In Havana, Juan Ramon O'Far-
rell was elected mayor in the Novem-
Der elections of 1904 He was a lib
eral and against the Palma administra-
ton. In the August following, Palma
removed him and appointed as mayor
Eiijio Bonachea, partisan of Governor
Nunez of Havana province and a firm
supporter of Palma and the moderates.
The registration boards are appointed
in September. Two months ago Bona
chea and the president disagreed. Bon
achea was removed and Julio Cardenas,
a tory from the Spanish days of Gov
ernor General Blanco, was appointed
mayor of Havana.

est is no longer a sentimental one.
The Cuban market is the only one in
the world where the United States sells
as many goods as all other nations
combined. Cuba's buying power is
about $1OO.OOO,000 annually, and one
half of this is spent in the United
States. Chile. Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia,
Argentina, Venezuela and Brazil togeth-
err do not buy as much as Cuba. It's
| ], roo, 900 people, if there are that many
there. buy from US more than the $780,
100000 people of Japan and China.
Cuba has an open door.
Commenting upon the above, the Chi
cago Tribune says: characterization
of Cuba will be slow task. if not an
impossible one. if by that is meant the
substitution of Anglo-SaXon habits of
thought in social relations or in bust
ness customs for the Spanish type.
Americanization in the sense of making
the United States the dominant factor
in the material prosperity of the island
and in the value of the interests repre-
scented there has progressed long way
since the last Spanish governor gen.
eral sailed away. American occupation,
temporary though it was, freed Ha-
vana from the yellow fever pest and
taught lessons of sanitation which have
made the island fit place for Ameri-
cans TO live in, and the number of col
onists who have gone there from the
United States is not insignificant. Ath-
eTton Brownell. in Appleton's Maya
zine, sums up the situation by saying
that in the four years since the inter
vention period a movement quietly has
been going on that is rapidly tending
toward practical commercial annexa
ton
The interests of the United States
and Cuba are undoubtedly closely link
ed, and conscientious guarding of
commercial relations
will benefit both. For the United States
to seek annexation of Cuba simply be-
cause we may profit thereby. would be
wrong. We have pledged ourselves to
a course granting protection to and !
guardianship of Cuba. but without
Cubas overwhelming consent can we
endeavor to make Cuba part |
Of the United States. Some day that |
may come, but not now.

Commercial Cuba.

The Commercial Annexation of
Cuba" is the title of a contribution to
the October issue of Appleton's Maya
zine by Atherton Brownell 1t shows
that the interest of the United States
in Cuba is different in the year 1896
from what it was in 1898. Up to the
earlier year American interests had
invested in Cuba about $4,000, 900,
principally in sugar and tobacco. As
much more has been invested since the
war, so that now the American capital
invested in the island amounts to $780,
100000. About 1907 900 acres of land
in Cuba, about Is per. cent of the whole
area of the island. or much larger
percentage of the land under cuItiva-
ton, belongs to Americans Three
fourths of the S40,0O0.00O worth of the
cattle on the island belong to Ameri-
cans. One-third of the money invested
in railroads, s24. SOC, 900, is American,
as against SIS. y31 600 Cuban and British.
American capital monopolizes electric
transportation. telegraph and telephone
systems in Cuba. The bonds of the

Women suffering from any form of

only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been eSta bliShed the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will

advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish

WHAT Ais THE KITTEN?

To the Editor
l have black Augora kitten that named
"Carnpgie." Since naming HIM his fur has
become tipped with gold.
/ Now how do You account Tor that :? W nat
seems still more strange, maltese Angora
OF the sane litter is also affected this way.
/ | write to you for information.
Mrs. L. c.
Belfast, Ne.
In the first place, it was in the line OF
mistake to name an innocent kitten
! "Carnegie" The mighty laird of Sklbo
castle has nothing kittenish about him
never had. To Carnegie lite is most
serious. In the Carnegie system Of
ethics, it is the chief duty of mankind
to glorify Andrew Carnegie and praise
! him forever. From the day he landed IN
America until now the only thing that
Carnegie ever gave away without Car
negie string" attached to 1t, was ad-
vice, of which commodity he has been
very lavish. And the Carnegie advice
has been above the average III quallty
as we'll as in amount. But to apply the
serious name of Carnegie to kitten or
even to a cat, is something unprecedent-
ed Mr. Carnegie is in fact and i'll truth
great man, not nearly SO big as Car
negie thinks Carnegie is, of course, but
nance and in his control over men. a
great part of the Carnegie fortune was
won through contracts with the govern
ment, and by securing preferential rates
on steel, but it required more than the
abilities of a kitten or ''cat, to
wheedle congress for session after SEES
sion until one man practically controll-
ed the steel industry of the whole
nation At no time in his life has
there been anything catllke about the
character of Carnegie.
Indeed, it would have been much
better to have named the kitten ''Bry-
ALI, - for the man from Nebraska has
certain velvet.footed and purring ways
about him that are tigerlsh, II not cat |
fish. and when Bryan strikes lie strikes
to kill, though he is often fond OF play |
ing with his prey before eating it. /
More than all else, the fact that the |
kitten is showing golden tints at the |
tips of its glossy fur is indicative that |
it has seen the error of its ways, even
as Bryan has, who of late has admitted |
that the currency question is settled |
for good and that it is quite impossible |
to revive the free coinage OF silver at |
any ratio. Give the kitten the name of |
Bryan and let the gold standard be-
come universal.-Bangor News.

The question is not II we are spend
