The Railroad Slaughter.

We have had a long trial of the
plan of letting the railways conduct
their business in their own way, and
any unprejudiced person must admit
that the plan is dead failure. Cas-
ualties are increasing and not dimin-
ishing. The interest of the public
in safe and efficient railway operation
surpasses by far all other interests.
Railway officials owe duty to the
public beyond even what they owe
to the holders of railway stocks and
bonds. Safety in operation ought to
be a paramount consideration, and
when an accident occurs, the public
is entitled to know the facts and all
the facts Engineering News.

A True Lovers Knot.

Lambert's hearers were silent for
a few minutes. Both perceived the
danger and difficulty of his situation.
To Glynn there seemed but one
means of security to both--one he
was the most ready to adopt. AS his
wife, Elsie would be out of Deering' s
reach. While he thought Lambert
seemed to revive.

Elsie brought the box, and placing
It in his hands, looked up in his eyes
with sweet, frank smile. IF his

Glynn took her hand and kissed it
reverently. Something of conscious

at the touch of his lips, and it was
with faint, delicious glow of hope
that Glynn went back to Lambert.

Lambert, that is the ring took

Our foreign trade continues to

the last fiscal year exceeded by $780,
986,500 those of the previous year,
which were the largest up to that
time; while the imports made a still
greater jump-s207. 900 over the
last and largest previous record. We
were left with suppositious trade
balance in our favor of S446,449,-
932, which would seem to be large
enough, but is nearly seventy-one
millions smaller than the one we
rolled up last fiscal year. This does
not take into account the silver and
gold imports which leave an apparent
unsettled balance in our favor OF
$397,183,715. But the idea that this
is an asset we can draw on, "as
good as gold" is no longer tenable,
