RAILROAD SLAUGHTER.

During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1905, there were 9,7o3
persons killed and S6,ooS injured.
Of the killed 537 were passengers,
1890 tralnmen, 1871 other en-
ployes and 5,7IS were neither pass
engers nor employees. OF the in
jured Io,457 were passengers.
These figures read like the report
of the casualties of one of the great
battles of the civil war and repre-
sent terrible slaughter Of human
beings through the carelessness of
railroads.
The modern demand for excess
i've speeding on the railroads may
be responsible for many accidents,
but if the railroads were to be less
recklessly managed and if the men
at the throttle were rot compelled
to work overtime and thus become
unfit for duty there would be less
number of accidents with fatal re-
suits. Railroad officials appear tc
be SO busy trying to increase theil
dividends that they fail to see the
necessity of reform in the manage.

THE CAPITOL INQUIRY.

Little consideration need be Civ
Ell the stories from Harrisburg of
proposals to settle" the Capitol
investigation, for the obvious rea-
son that any such settlement at the
present stage is impossible. The
first purpose of the inquiry is to
ascertain the entire truth concern
ing the building, decoration and
furnishing of the Capitol, and the
commission cannot stop at any point
short of complete and detailed re-
port. 1t has only covered a part of
the ground thus far, and it is clear
that there can be no settlement"
until it has gone into every feature
of the business from beginning to
end.
Furthermore, the commission
would have no authority to settle
or compromise with anybody, even
if so disposed. All of the facts it
shall gather must be laiG before the
Governor, and if he and the Attor
ney General find grounds for the
criminal prosecution of any one
concerned, it would be a hardy per-
son who proposed to them to "set-
tie" the case.
In civil suits for restitution there
may be opportunity for compro-
mise, but that is still long way
ahead, and could have no effect
upon any criminal proceedings.
I he present commission is not con-
cerned i'll anything but the investi-
CATION with which it is charged,
and which it cannot stop now if it
would. The evidence thus far made
public shows such all extraordina-
ry system of piling up the cost that
even if the architect and the con-
tractors were to confess the over
charges, the necessity of determin-
ing how they secured such oppor-
tunities would not be lessened.
The investigation was only tempo
rarily interrupted by the adjourn
ment of the Legislature. There is
no reason to doubt that when the
commission resumes its work it will
push it unrelentingly to the end.

WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?

When the Tweed frauds were
first exposed in 1870 they center.
ed on the New Court House"
built by the Tweed ring, through
Andy Garvy a contractor.
This building cost SO, COO, 900,
thrice what it should. When the
bills were dragged out and pub
lished it was found that the plas-
tering of a small closet had cost
S37, 900. There were window cap
pings which would have cost no
more if they had been gold plated.
There were floors which would
have cost less if they had been laid
in silver dollars instead of Georgia
pine.
All was regular. A small board
of four men, Tweed, Connolly,
Sweeney and Hall, the board of
audit, had passed the bill under a
law giving this authority. The
contractor sublet his Job or did it
for a low price. He turned in a
raised bill. The board of audit
passed the bill. The money was
drawn and the contractor got the
money.
When his account in the bank
where he deposited was seized, the
deposit was found to be divided in
regular percentage. Not all the
board of audit got share. Tweed
had his. Other men high in his
machine got their share. BY regu-
lar arrangement every payment
made to the contractor was divided

Why Miners Turn to Gray.

The latest boom for Judge Gray
comes from the anthracite coal
miners, who remember him as the
presiding genius of the arbitration
board. They see in the Judge the
Moses to lead them to tie land flow
ing with milk and honey, which in
political parlance means the post
offices and other Federal places.
Until last fall the gates were not
lifted so as to allow the United Mine
Workers to participate in politics.
Then John Mitchell opened the
field, pushed his friend Nichols
into Congress and helped the gen.
eral secretary, William B. Wilson,
to slip into Representative Deemer's
seat. in addition, there were many
places in the State Legislature that
fell to the miners. These candidates
were all nominated on Democratic
and independent tickets, and were
repudiated by the Republican Or
ganization, Now the miners see a
ray of hope, not only in Pennsyl-
vania, but in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and West Virginia, of again getting
into politics and capturing more
seats in Congress and the Legisla-
lures if they have leader such as
Judge Gray, Bryan and Hearst
mean nothing to the miners or to
organized labor throughout the
country, according to the state
ments made by labor leaders.
Roosevelt, right or wrong, had a
warm place in their hearts until the
Meyer and Haywood affair. Now
they are divided, They worship al
the shrine of Judge Gray.

INQUIRER

They would not. Separate tally
sheets are provided for each party,
and the Republican ballots are
counted by themselves, as each Of
the other parties are. The number
of votes given to each candidate on
the Republican ballot will be kept
separate, and the one receiving the
highest number of Republican votes
will be declared the nominee of
that party. The votes given to a
person whose name appears only
on another party ticket cannot be
carried over from the Republican
ballot to help make Democratic
nomination. This rule holds good
both ways, and a Republican whose
name is written on the Democratic
ballots could not get the benefit of
those votes on the Republican
count.

A bill just passed in the legisla-

in each county in which they wish
to camp, and to pay $50 for the
same.

Will you please answer the fol-
lowing question:
Suppose 500 Republicans should
write in the name of one of the
Democratic candidates for Associ-
ate Judge on the Republican prima-
ry election ballot. Would those
votes be added to the votes given
that candidate on the Democratic
ballots?

possible strain and emergency in time
of war is to have them practice under

Foreign Affairs.
In foreign affairs, the president says,
this country's steady policy is. to be-
have toward other nations as a strong
and self respecting man should behave
toward the other men with whom he
Is brought into contact. In other words,
our aim is disinterestedly to help other
nations where such help can be wisely
given without the appearance of med
ding with what does not concern us,
to be careful to act as good neighbor'
and at the same time in good natured
fashion to make it evident that we do
not intend to be imposed upon.
The president refers at length to The
Hague peace conference. He believes
it accomplished much good work. -
