Accidents.

1t was reported short time ago,
ia press dispatch, that u passenger
had been killed in train accident on
the Missouri, Kansas s. Texas Rail-
way. The management OF the Katy
Immediately denied the correctness OF
the report, aud stated that there
never had been passenger killed on
its lines. This statement was true
During the forty years that this
road has been in operation no traveller
has met death upon one Of its trains
through train accident. In this
respect 10 has a record that Is 100 per

American railroads have bad rep

another matter. Be that as it may,
the fact that railroad Of the size
the katy" has never killed a passen-
ger is notable. How 1t had made S.
good a record seemed to merit invest =
gatien. But when one Of its officers
was asked how it had managed TO d
so well, he replied so many features
enter Into consideration Of the matter
that we do not know where TO begin
nor TO what particular condition We
can sttCGbute the enviable record We
now hold" The specific usually pre-
scribed for accidents is block signals.
But block signals have not Afforded

tracks, not familiar iR the Southwest
and the katy" has no more Of il,
than other roads there.
The explanation OF this roads en-
vlaole record may, perhaps, be sun

Uncle Joe Cannon.

A bitter prohibition and religious
6ght was made on Uncle Joe in his
home district, but he won out with
large majority.
Though Uncle Joe won himself
number of his strongest supporters
were beaten on the common issue,
while a number of others had to
pledge themselves not to vote for
Uncle Toe for speaker, to save their
election. We do not think Uncle
Ioe will be a candidate for reelec-
ton.
The people are against him and
few congressman will have the
nerve to brave public sentiment at
home to crafty this crafty old
politician.
Should he persist in being a
candidate. any Republican con-
gresham would be perfectly Jush-
fed In acting with the Democrats II
necessary to compass his oelsa''
Surely no Kansas congressman Will
have the hardihood to line up foE
Uncle Joe.
Should he, he would not expect
to stand for reelection. Defeat
would surely be his. The people
are asking for better things In poll
tics and will not stand for the ad
vancement of man like Cannon to
a place ef such individual power In
the shaping of legislation. 1t might
be we'll for some of our western
congressman to take heed of this

Monument to WirZ.

Nothing coulo De more lhopPor-
tune than the announcement that
the women of Georgia have sue
ceeded in raising the funds and are
about to erect a monument to the
memory of the keeper at Anderson
Vile prison-the place of horror in
which so many Union soldiers were
subjected to barbarties which
shamed our common humanity. Az
this time, forty thee years after the
great conflict closed and when the
wounds of that terrible qsadrcnnium
Of fratricidal strife are well nigh
healed, it would be idle to argue
whether Captain Henry Wiz was
inRocsnt or guilty of the crime
charged against him. 1t may or
may not suffice to say that forty
three years ago yesterday lie was
executed, after due trial, for the
murder of helpless prisoners unier
his charge. 1t has been stated in
his defense that he was only acting
under orders from his superiors, bu;
this is libel ON brave and honorable
men who fought with unsurpassed
heroism for the principles which
they believed to be right. The men
at the head of the Confederate army
were not butchers, and the men in
the ranks Of gray would have been
the last to approve the horrible in
hum antics practiced upon the
prisoners of Andersonville. The
verdict of history must stand, and
that verdict places the burden of
depravity upon the man who was
hanged-thls latterday Simon Girty
whose savage cruelty was hardly
surpassed by that of the renegade
of century before.
But these passions have died
away. The terrible days of Ander.
sonvllle are now only CHASTITY recol-
lections to those who survived them
While it will hardly defle the mem
ory Of the gallant victims to erect a
monume lt to his name, yet there /:
something that goes against the
grain of every friend of humanity
and honorable warfare in the public
glorifextion of the raemory of q
man whose iAfamy only is immortal
The brave soldiers Of the Nortt
ljoin with the brave soldiers of tn,
South in honoring the heroes Of thu
