Senator S r. Mallory Announces
Candidacy,

81 shall he a candidate to succeed
myself in the United States senate, -
sail Senator Stephen r. Mallory, Of
Florida, at the New Willard last
night.
For more than a year there has
been some speculation as 10 whether
the senator would again seek cleo
ton to the senate, be "ause of illness.
Wa ch last year incapacitated him
from attending to his duties at the
Capitol for part Of the time, but
since last autumn the senator's con-
dition has SO improved that to- day
he looks the picture OF health, and
he has not missed single session OF
the senate or of any committee of
which he is member since the as
semblirg Of congress. This declara-
ton, however, is the first that he has
made in regard TO his candidacy.
81 now feel thoroughly able 10.

continued the senator, "and shall
endeavor to speak in every county
in thu state shall stand upon the
record that | have made during the
ten years have serv d the people
of my state in the senate. That
will be the issue and on it / believe
the citizens Of Florida will return.
me for third term"
Senator Mallory is considered one
OF the ablest senator's who represent
the southern states. His father, who
bore the same name represented Flor
ida in the senate in the tlfties, and
~as afterward secretary of the navy
of tie Confederate states. While
his father was in the senate, the
present senator often acted as
page. and in that capacity was as
sociatcd with Arthur Pue German
and John NJ. Wilson. He afterward
went o Georgetown College. When
he was graduated he moved to Pen
sscola, where he entered upon the
practice of the law.
In 1876 he was elected a member
Of the lower house of the Florida
legislature, and since th"n has been
almost continuously in public life.
The senator is democratic in his
taste, and is one of the most popular
Uea in congress. He has been
persistent in his # rts to further
the interests Of Floride, and at pres
ent is seeking to secure great dry
dock at Pensacola. Washington

OFFENDING RAILROADS.

There is no evidence of sudden antagonsm to
the railroads in the order of Attorney General
Bonaparte to the various United States district at
torneys to institute proceedings against rs railroad
corporations TO recover penalties incurred by viola
tons of the safety appliance law.
AS a matter OF fact these prosecutions have
been in contemplation for several years Time and
time again limit has been fixed only TO be ex-
tended on the pleas of some railroads that it had
proven physically impossible for them to equip
their cars within the period prescribed.
In the meantime there has been such de-
plorabe slaughter of railroad employees that it is
proposed by the interstate commerce commission
and the department of justice to punish those roads
that persist in violating the law.
1t is matter for congratulation that in the
list of 2S offending roads the of no New Eng
land road appears. There is no more justification
for the use of oldfashioned freight cars with hand
brakes and hand couplings, than for having pas
senger coaches heated by stoves and illuminated
bv kerosene lamps.
There was loud protest when the railroad
companies were required to heat their cars by
steam, but they found it quite as advantageous to
them TO those who travelled over their routes
No reason exists for extending further leniency
toward the roads in the west and south that persist
in openly and hagranty defying the law in order
to escape the expense of fitting their rolling stock
with accident-preventing devices.
The law was designed for the safeguarding o
human life and its enforcement should be prompt
vigorous and impartial.
