The Democracy and Brownsville.

While the South Carolina senate was
considering the subject, It should. to employ
a Chicago phrase have gone the whole hog
Why simply have indorsed the Presidents
stand in the Brownsville matter? Why not
also have voted in favor OF the discharge of
all the Cuiored troops in the army and
making them ineligible for re-enlistment?
That is the political phase of the question
The Presidents democratic support here is
most frankly stated by Mr. Slayden of
Texas. who proposes that the cry that
this is the white mans country be sup
piemented with the cry that the army is
the white mans army. No black man
should be enlisted, or even allowed to
apply This. So far, is not the Presidents
attitude. but he takes risk in yokng up

From the New York Evening Post.
1t is painful to a brilliant legsla tive
coup of Thursday become ignominious
collapse on Monday. When Senator Lodge
on Thursday of last week introduced his
artfuI resolution, reciting that the dis
charge of the negro troops had been made
by the President lin his legal and consti-
tutional authority as Communicated chief,
there was much exclamation at the clever
ness of the move. Lodge had out gen
eraed' Foraker. The Senate was to be
made to commit itself. in the very act of
ordering investigation of the Browns
willie ARRAY. to the assertion that the Pres
ident had not exceeded his powers. 1t
was one of the ''slickest' things that even
the sly Lodge had ever done. But alack
by the time the colu light of Monday came
round the plan found 10 be fantastic
Lodge could get support for it, and
so the whole thing was quietly dropped.
The investigation will be made, first, in
regard to the facts: thereafter the Senate
will debate the question whether the Presi-
dent went beyond his lawful powers. In
one respect. it seems to be conceded by
the best LAWYERS in the Senate-Knox and
Spooner and CuibeG son-that he did. name
~, in fixing a penalty in addition to dis
charge.

The democratic members of he two

Here we witness the primary plan Of
choosing senators in its perfect operation
There were two aspirantS fer this place,
and both strong men. They submitted their
claims to the people from the stump and

Everybody in the party took sides. and it

element subsidized. But when the count

easy. What is taking pace at Nashville

But let US suppose the fight just opening

thing but the senatorship? How long would
Ii take to decide matters with beth men

deadlock would be very likely. The bust

halted A scandal might arise for while
both Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Carmack are men
of the highest character. far above any
improper step themselves. some indscreet
over-eager friend. in his desire to ad-
vance his favorite's fortunes. might do
something that would lead to grave en-
barrassments all around and discredit the
state. Such thing has more than once
happened in this country.
In Texas we have a different situation.
though the trouble there Is In no measure

form, and. but for the developments since

lature might easily dispose of the senator
ship in an hours time. Had Mr.. Ba;ley's
name not gone before the primary he would
have been brought against him, and the
legislature sill have been asked to investi-
gate them.
The senatorial primary justfies itself
wherever it is tried and is a thoroughly
satisfactory solution of a problem which
long vexed the country and led to some
very unfortunate transactions.

Terrorism in Russia.

mated, The terrorists are indeed growing
not only active but effective. They are
reaching their victims with certainty

their thorough organization. That others
will fall in the same manner may be re-
garded as certain The bloody propaganda
Is clearly extensive and past experience
in Russia teaches that repression does not
stamp out the reds or brighten them from
their sacrifcal tasks. How far the pres
ent murderous program will carry can not
be foretold. 1t is stated that the proscrp-
lions include not only the bureaucrats who
have incurred the enmity of the revolution
lists but the czar himself

that the two officials who have lately been
assassnated were condemned on account of
their activities in the recent troubles be-

Railroad Engineers Hours.

The coroner's jury in the Terra Gotta
wreck inquest did not refer in it's verdict
to the matter of long hours for engineers.
although il recommended change in the
block signal system which. under the laws
of Maryland effects If adopted a curtail-
ment of certain tricks of duty" in signal
towers from twelve to eight. The subject
of engineers hours should be thoroughly
considered by the interstate commerce COM
mission in the course of its investiga-
ton.
Engineer Hildebrand of extra train o1o0
testified before the coroner's jur-- that from
$50 am Friday, December %. to $50 p m
Sunday December 30-the evening OF the
coIlision-he had slept only four hours Sat

had run as extra from Baltimore to
Cumberland from Cumberland to Wash
ington. from Washington to Cumberland
and was on his way back to Baltimore
when the wreck occurred, thus having COW
cred in fifty-seven hours about go miles.
Hildebrands experience was doubtless
typical. Ii is well known that many engi-
neers finish one run only to be sent directly
out on another, to meet some emergency
which discloses a shortage of service due
to economies or shortsightedness of adj
ministration. Some states have recognized
this evil condition and have passed laws
prescribing hours. with severe penalties for
all attractions. But in the main there is no
restriction upon the railroad administration
or the engineer in this particular. and men

ent resting periods or in some cases

SUFFICIENT resting periods or In some cases
none at ALL
No man can long endure the strain of
managing a railroad locomotive and watch
ing signals. 1t is peculiarly nerve
wracking work. Engineers should secure
even more sleep than men engaged in
auieter pursuits and it requires no argu-
ment to prove that eight hours out or
fifty-seven is dangerously low allowance
A man may not become actually sleepy in
such circumstances. but his brain is not
alert His judgment is impaired and his
senses are less acute. He is not as RELIABLE
in short. as he Is when he has obtained
normal amount of sleep. He may make
mistakes in signals without being morally
responsible. He may take chances which
in other conditions he would carefully
avoid
But beyond this there is an imminent
danger that the overworked engineer may
fall asleep at his post Many such IN
stances are of record Only recently a
case was reported where the engineer. who
had been on duty continuously over thirty
hours became so sleepy that he was COM
PEELED to summon the fireman to take the
throttle while he walked about the cab to
keep awake. Again, train was held from

employment of engineers without at least
from ten to twelve hours intermission be-

presence of an assistant engineer in each
locomotive cab will go far toward prevent
ing accidents.
