MR.. A1Nscows GOOD SUGGESTION.

TIE frghtful accident at Cherry, Ill, re-
n Gently, in which many miners lost their
lives has set some men IN different parts of the
country thinking. What provision has been
made for the care of their families Did the
men carrv-life insurance? Probably not, for
the rates ON so hazardous an occupation would
be very high Had they any organizations
among themselves by which in the event of their
death their families would be aided? Probably
they had, but the aid would be inadequate to
meet the wants of families for most of the men
had large families dependent upon them.
Some big concerns have in force pensioning,
a sick and accident benefit plan by which the i'll
or WORKOUT employees are cared for financially
and death benefits are paid This scheme is
spreading among large industrial concerns The
Armonrs only the other day announced a new
plan Jof caring for employees. Not all industrial
establishments are so heartless as that in Massa-
cliusctts which has evcted hundreds of families
from its properties SO that 1t can replace the
men with cheaper labor.
There is no plan for the care of the miners
such as the one the Armours have, and the sad
plight of the families of the lost men will again
call attention TO the necessity of means of relief
If we had government insurance, such as they
have in Germany, the problem would be solved
in large measure.
But there is another way in which great deal
OF relief could be found and 1t IS suggested by
Mr. Alfred l.. Ainscow of this city. He thinks
that fund should be created a sort of national
trust fund we presume, to which men, rich, IN
moderate circumstances, or poor could contrib
ute either regularly or as they pleased the money
TO be devoted to relieving such distress as over
takes workingmen like these miners. Their
families could be pensioned in fact it would be
"a sort of industrial insurance, the money Tor the
payment of which would be drawn from this
contributed general fund. For example, Mr.
Ainscow would pledge himself to contribute
Sloo a year to such fund and doubtless
throughout the country thousands OF other men
would make similar contributions that the
general fund to be administered by trustees
would soon amount to huge sum. The amount
Of good that it would do could not be estimated
IN words And wouldn't such fund accom-
plish more good, be Of greater benefit than the
Carnegie library scheme and some other things
10 which rich men devote part of their surplus
wealth
Those who have been at the head of various
national philanthropic movements might take
I'D this idea Of Mr.. Anscow's and work it into
a definite practical plan Of giving relief to
the victims of such accidents as that at Cherry.
We think it is well worth considering

Oyster aFattening.v

New ork Tribune.
Some agitation Of mind has been caused
in New Jersey by a reported ruling Of
the United States Pure Food Commission
against the "fattening" OF oysters, OF at
least against the shipment and sale OF
such oysters in interstate commerce, and
there are those who say that execution
OF the order will mean the destruction
OF four-hfths Of the oyster Industry Of
the state.
1t is the practice Of some dealers to
take the oysters from their beds in the
tidal bays and lay them down for a
short time in fresh or partly fresh wa
ter at the mouth OF creek. As 70
suit the oysters are whitened and bloated,
and in that condition they are shipped
to market It is supposed that they .sell
more readily and for higher prices than
they would IN their natural gray color,
md. Of course, It does not take so many
IF them to measure a quart after they
are bloated.
Whether the federal authorities are
right in regarding this as 'adulteration"
need not be discussed here The ques-
ton will be authoritatively' disposed OF
In due time. Sanitarians will, however,
observe tht no better way OF injecting
oysters with typhoid fever would we'll be
devised than by thus laying them down
at the mouth of stream which is an
open sewer for towns and cities, while
consumers should not need to be re-
minded that it destroys the natural flavor.
We are glad to say that this foolish
and harmful practice is less common
than &c was few years ago.

Do the Resoue Of Father.

New York World.
A Kansas man has offered prize OF 800
for the best verse or short prose effort on
the subject OF father. the unhonored and

of the noblest heroes OF them all fingered
In an obscurity never penetrated by spot
lights or publicity agents. This relief ex-
petition is intended to restore to public
gaze a character that has been crowded

The fact is, the Kansan AYERS, that father
has been so busy trying to make a living
and to direct the affairs of state and ma
ton that he has not had time to attend to
any tablets OF fame for himself.
II is a sad fact that father has inspired
very few poets to burst into song over his
achievements. The tribute to him which
of recent years achieved the widest pop
ularity was a ballad to tho effect that
everybody worked at the singers house
except his old man. Nobody has written
an epic. about fathers faculty for paying
bills and leaving a parcel OF insurance

don the problem which he voluntarily un-
dertook to solve. There is no Eliza-cross-

SUFFRAGE IN SWITZERLAND.

1 n many respects the little nation of Switzer-
land is what may be termed progressive.
The woman question" Of course has been alive
there. They have their organizations of women
as we do, and they have their conventions. The
Swiss women are seeking equal privileges with
men, voting and the like They want equal
responsibilities.
A congress of the societies of Swiss women
was recently held in Berne. A resolution was
adopted urging the CONSUMPTION of women for
government service The Consumption of men
in the little nation requires a certain period of
service in the army. The womens societies
want the CONSUMPTION of women to learn and
practice nursing. first aid to the injured, the
administration OF civic or national relief to the
poor and the general work Of philanthropy. II
the women are to enjoy equal privileges, and il
the men are required to serve time in the army,

women should be forced 10 take part in these
