Why the Difference?

On Sunday the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad operators pro-
duced head-on collision at Los Ange-
les. They killed four innocent people
and mangled seventeen others. A few
years ago a contractor who built rick
ETY. tenements that fell down and kill
ed some people was convicted and SEN
fenced to term in Sing Sing prison.
Why should not railway managers be
given the same penalty, or worse, for
criminal carelessness in operating
their dangerous mechanisms?

A Setback to Socialists.
The plan of the Socialists to COM
NIT Wisconsin to government owner
ship of railroads was killed in the leg
islature last week. The Socialists
have yet to learn that the people have
not despaired of themselves. When
ever things reach the point where the
will of the people cannot be enthron-
ed, then Socialism cannot be en-
throned. AS long as We can hope in
Democracy We will have no need for
Socialism.
Every City Its Own Banker.
Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, ad-
vocates the establishment of a mu-
nicipal bank to handle the $13,O00,O0O
to $20,000000 of city deposits annually
carried by the banks at only per
cent interest. BY his plan the city
would receive at 6 per cent on it's own
loans, some 100000 a year interest
instead of the 100000 now obtained.
But obedient servants of the banks in
the council shelved the mayors recon-
mendation

Cleveland Butts in Some.

Grover Cleveland, in an interview,
bluntly tells the people they are in
delirium of revenge upon the rail
roads. He expects "the craze of de-
nunciation will soon pass" This obese
old friend of Morgan, Belmont & Co.,
is always long on defenses of their ine-
quities, all of which he winked at and
many of which he allied and abetted
as president of the United States. G.
G. is one of those figures of malodor-
Gus history who looks handsomest
and least aggravating with his mouth
shut.

Education in the South.


The next conference for education
in the south will be held at the Caro-
lima hotel, Pinehurst, ~ c., April 8,
10 and II. There will be a large at
tendance of northern and southern
educators at this tenth annual confer
ence. The executive committee is
composed Of southern men only, in
Guiding S. G. Mitchell, of Virginia; w.
II. Hand, of South Carolina; P. P
Claxton, Of Tennessee; George J.

son, of Georgia; Sydney J. Bowie, of
Alabama; Paul H. Saunders, of Mis-
sissippi; James H. billiard, of Louisi-
ana, and John H. Hineman, of Arkan-
sas. The program will be most inter
esting, but the practical benefits of
these conferences are yet to be dem
onstrated.

Wall Street Shaking.

On Monday Wall street spectators
got into a fresh stampede and the
prices of stocks went down the tobog-
gan like creased pigs. But London,
Paris and Berlin bought at every new
decline and 'our fool friends" in the
street are feeding the money hogs of
Europe in most fattening way. But
We suppose high finance understands
itself, we don't.

Walsh Shows Great Gall.

John R. Walsh, gambler, newspaper
owner, bank and railroad wrecker,
awaiting trial for his crimes in Chi
cago on an Indictment with sixty-fve
counts, has the gall to sue the "Chica-
go News" for libel. He asks for ST.
550,000 Which would indicate that
the more rotten John RS reputation
is the more he esteems it.

He Scorned a Pardon.

Ex-Convict Burton, former United
States senator from Kansas, says he
scorned pardon that President
Roosevelt offered him. If he did, the
fact of the pardon in Burtons case
being considered at all is more dis
creditable to Roosevelt than it's re-
fusal is creditable to Burton

The Tragedy at Tom Taggart's.

The Tragedy at Tom Taggart's.
The legislature of Indiana has pass
ed a bill authorizing the sheriff of
the county to destroy all the opulent
gambling furniture seized last year
in the raids on the French Lick joints
run by Tom Taggart, chairman of the
national Democratic committee It
will be a long time before the Demo
cratic party fully RECEIVERS from the
odium Of putting 'the boss gambler Of
America" at the head Of its affairs for
four years. Suppose Parker had been

Another Railway Judge.


President Roosevelt has appointed
F. S. Dietrich, of Pocatello, to be
United States district judge of Idaho
Dietrich has been for years chief coun-
sci of Harriman's Oregon Short Line
railroad in Idaho. The appointment,
coming right after Harriman's visit
to the White House, looks bad 1t

General Miller and the Cleveland and
Attorney General Olney appointments

souri,, Kansas and Oklahoma Terri

courts, who is fool enough to expect
them to obey the laws?

He Skipped the Coop.

The friends of James w. Alexander,
ex-president of the Equitable, quietly
sneaked him out of this country last
October, and he is now having a good
time over in Bombay, India. When
asked when Mr.. Alexander will return
to this country his closest friend said
Il could not venture a prediction"
The policy holders can probably do
better by taking the word from the

Hoke Smith in Demand.

Governor-elect Hoke Smith, of Geor-
gia, made notable speech in Cincin-
natl that opened the eyes of the mul-
titudes upon the peoples rights over
railroad management and operations.
He has now been invited to New York
to speak at one of the Jefferson day
dinners. 1t is being recognized that
he will figure large in the national
eye before very long.

The new postmaster general, George

been included with his racket in Presi-

ted Major Penrose of neglect of duty

Another Negro Lynched.
Cleveland Harding was shot to

Beginning his career in Chicago as
reporter in 1872, MI. Curtis rapidly
rose to be managing editor. He
resigned that position to accept a gov
eminent appointment as secretary of
South American cimmission. So
brilliantly did he perform the duties
of this Office that James G. Blaine,
secretary of state, placed him at the
head OF the Bureau of American Re-
(publics. At the time of the worlds
fair in Chicago, he distinguished him
self as the executive head of the Lat
in-American department. He is a

Feb 1S--The women suffr- gists whose leaders have sworn not to desJst in their violent agitation un" til parliament has granted their de- mands appear likely to give the au- thorities considerable trouble, Today they made a more determined and bet ter organized demand than ever before in the course of which sixty women were arrested. It was nearly midnight be- fore they were all bailed out.
 From an early hour this afternoon until one o'clock at night a large force of police had their hands full In de- lending the precincts of parliament from suffragists raids. Every entrance to the house of commons were guarded by attachments of policemen, while other officers of the law were engaged in clearing the adjacent streets and a body of fifty constables was kept in reserve for emergency.
 As the house was about to adjourn tonight Claude George Hay, a member of the house called attention to the disturbances and protested against us- ing the house of parliament as a for tress to be filled with police to pro- tect the members against women
 Home secretary Gladstone replied to MT. Hay saying he had little know ledge of what was going on outside but that the measures employed were for the general convenience of the members and he was sure no unnecessary viol- ence had been used.

Paris, Feb. 13-Church and state in France seem at last to be on the verge of a final agreement relative to the terms of the lease of the churches.
 Following the government's an- nouncement of it's willingness to fnodi- fly its counter proposition making the contracts run eighteen years and for the benefit of the parish priest named CT his successor Fulfilling the same conditions" negotiations took place be- tween Mgr.

The decis- ions were ostensfbfy limited to It's ac- eeptance by the churches of Paris. but 1t was tacitfy understood that if q form of contract mutually acceptable was decided upon 1t would be extended to all the churches in France.
 As a result of the conferences the prefect of the Seine has now offered q modified formula, which simply re- uuires the successor of paFish priest to be a party to the original contract signed and to assume the obligations of his predecessor. thus insurlng con- tinuation of the lease of the church for eighteen years and quieting the vatf- cans appfehensions that new mayors might decline to renew the contracts under the old conditions.
