WHAT THE BRAKEMAN SAID

The shades of night were falling fast As through the railroad car there
 passed A brakeman with a vIsage red, And this is what he loudly said:
 "B-r.r--glb." His hair was short, his jaw was long, lis lungs were leathery and strong, And as we sped the landscape o'er, Once more he gave the awful roar.
 "B.rr--glb." "Oh, say" remarked an ancient Miss, "Apd tell me, please, what town is
 this?" The brakeman rolled his honest eye, Likewise his quid, and made reply;
 "B-r-r--glb." "Pm bound ios Miles," the drummer
 ssid "Is this the town that lies ahead?" The brakeman sighed with weary air, And once again we heard this blare:
 "B-r-r--glb." Then up we rose and msdly hurled  That brakeman forth iDto the world, And as he fell with anger vain, We heard again the wild refrain:
 gB-r-r---Rlb." Next morn they found him as he lay. And planted him without delay, And now they've got another cuss Who calls the town and calls it thus:
 "Biz-zjkghtx."

RAILWAYS IN PALESTINE.

Most OF the readers of the News
take a lively interest in the develop
ment OF Palestine. Some have visit
ed that country before the advent of
the railroad, and they can hardly real
ize the transformation that has taken
place Of late years. There are now four
railways in Palestine. There is line
from Beyrout to Damascus and Baal-
bee. another from Haifa to Derat and
another from Damascus. through the
Hauran To Maan, n few hours distant
from Petra and Mount Hor, line
which is being rapidly continued across
the desert to Mecca.
Ii viii be seen that at three points
Beyrout. Haifa and Jaffa, the line
touches the coast, thus bringing the
great West into living touch with the
central points of the Holy Land All
the South is touched from Jaffa the
Center from Haifa and the North from
Beyrout, while by means of the great
Hedjaz railway from Damascus to Nee
ca, the hitherto almost inaccessible
country of Moab. Edom and the Great
Desert is opened up 10 the whole world.
Leaving the great main line at Derat.
it is possible TO travel to Semakh, the
most southcrly end of the Sea of Cali
lees and from 4 hereby boat scud across
the lake 10 I'fberias. whence the Jour-
ney to Cana and Nazareth is easy.
What all this means to the traveller win
he better understood by those who have
tented In those parts, or who have
made the journey by horse. The sight
hcance of all this is that the entire
region is brought into close contact
with the western world and opened to
western Influences. Through the OPEN
ing up of lines OF communications the
stage of ancient history is rapidly be-
ing prepared for the next acts in the
world drama.

SERVICE AND COMPENSATION.

Occasionally we hear the opinion OK
pressed that II the salaries Of officials
were high enough. a better class Of
aspirants FOR offices would be secured,
and the result would be better govern
mont
This reasoning appears plausible
enough. ana it seems TO have the sup
port of experience, in Galveston, and
other places where the experiment has
been made But, on a moments re-
Election It will. probably. become clear
that the Increase in salary alone can
not have the effect claimed for H. 1t Is
generally believed that the sldltul poll
ticlau who knows how 90 manipulate
the machinery is the one who secures
positions Of trust For himself or his
friends and no raise in the salary
would change that, 4 bigger plum
would. rather be- an incentive to in
creased effort ON the part of the skilful
politician, To reach il.
If good government liz to be secured,
tin decent citizens. who arc in the
majority. must exert themselves for tho
election OF men that can be trusted.
The trouble is that many citizens are
too Indifferent about the public welfare
TO exercise the franchise intelligently.
They are indifferent to the .conse-
quences Of vote--or neglect to vote.
They do not consider whether a candi-
date for an office is likely 60 do the
right thing as public servant. or
whether the probability is that he Will
look to his own interests first This in
difference must be overcome. If citi-
zens would take as much personal IN
terest in the selection Of public servants
as they do in the employment of
bookkeeper, a janitor, or salesman.
they would not be disappointed as often
as is the case now. This is the real
remedy against acknowledgement of
public affairs. The question OF salary
is n second consideration.
1t is true that community can af-
ford TO pay good. faithful and capable
more than those who are
neither true nol capable And good
men are entitled to fair compensation.
But the proper proceeding is to md
The right kind of officials first, and
then increase the wages. To increase
the wages in the hope of finding the
right men afterwards is useless, under
he prevailing political conditions, Find
he men and try them. and then pay
hem what they are worth.

HE KNOWS THE SAINTS.

We are pleased 10 learn from the
Reno Journal that Bishop Spalding OF
the Episcopal church, of this City has
had n good word to say for the Lat
ter-day Saints. The gentleman pre-
dicted that Utah Will soon be Pro-
hibiton state, and then he added:
"Our church has never entered ac-
lively in the aggressive political oppo-
sltion against the Mormons. be-
licve in the survival of the Attest,
and the law of this land is being rec
oEnizcd by these people"
That Is true. There is no reason
why there should be anything but good
feelings between the citizens of Utah
of various faiths, and the clergymen
ought to do all in their power to pro-
mote friendship and good fellowship.
That would best serve the interests OF
the State, and produce good moral
results The keeping up Of strife and
contention is damaging to both sides
of the controversy, hut most TO the side

Spanish Government Has Passed a
New and Rigid Statute to
This Effect.

Madrid, June 24.-The Spanish Gov
ernment, under the lead of SenoI
Maura, seem to have consolidated all
its opponents by the Introduction of
what is known as the Terrorist
Bill" The object of it is to amend
the Crime Act" Of July 10, 1894,
which related to crimes with explos-
ives. 1t provides that "the threat to
cause any such injury as would amount
to criminal offense to the proper
ties and rights of common interests,
social classes, and corporations, or
their members, shall be punished by
penal servitude." 1t further provides
that the publication of false and malic-
ious news in regard to such acts shall
be punished by close arrest in house
of correction in the lower divisions.
Moreover, it ordains that the publica
tion of all news concerning such acts.
which is not of official origin, shall
be punished by imprisonment.
