THE IMPENDING
 RAILROAD STRIKE.

A titanic struggle is brewing be tween the Hartman system and it's shopmen who demand a recognition of the federation of the crafts.
 No question of wages, hours or con ditions are at present involved but the railroad officials think they see that following the> recognition of the federation these questions would quickly arise in an acute form.
 The unions would then be in a much better shape to enforce demands than they have ever been; in fact. if the federation should turn out to be as compact as the leaders design to make it. it's demands could not be success fully resisted.
 It is almost a foregone conclusion that the railroad will not grant recog milton. Now, of all times when earnings are shrinking with indications that the shrinking process is not nearly fin ished. the officials would be less likely to bind their hands.
 The officers Of the federation are moving cautiously for they realize that such a fight as would be precipi- tated would be decisive. Defeat would be a blow to unionism from which it would not quickly recover; such con sessions as have been made to the separate crafts would in all probability be withdrawn.
 1T. however, the leaders see a prob ability of success, the country will shortly witness the most stubborn railroad strike in the history Of trans portation.

UNEMPLOYED AMERICA
TOMB BSToNE.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle: That there is any portion of the American continent that thus far has not been penetrated by whites, that is almost as little known to white men as it was on the day Columbus landed on San Salvador, is almost uu- believable. But that there is such a portion-not so very large. as DOT tions gO--bu1 exceedingly wild, is brought to public notice by the mur- der of Rev. o. r. Davis, a missionary, by natives in the interior Of British Guiana, South America. II the re- zion were in the Brazilian hinterland, along the eatward slope of the An des, it would not seem so remarkable, but to think it is part of the north east curve of the southern continent makes it all the more remarkable.
 The country contains 104 .0O square miles and a population estimated at 300. 900 an average of less than three persons to the square mile. Nest of the population is assembled in George town, the capital of the country, and in other ports along the coast and on the lower reaches of the Demarara, Berbice and EsseqUibo rivers, the principal streams of the country. Near the coast are the Carib Indians who are comparatively friendly, while in the interior are the Tarumas and the Atoradis, crafty, warlike, blood thirsty
 In the early Spanish days, during the hunt for El Dorado, several eX- petitions started through what Is now British Guiana. Somewhere in the deep foersts the bones of the Span iards lie. The gold-seekers were never heard of after they disappeared up the slopes near the sea. It was
 believed, when Great Britain took possession about a century ago. that the country would be explored and opened to settlement but compara- lively little has been done. EXplor- CTS. taking their lives in their hands, have penetrated some distance into the interior, but beyond a certain dim, undefned line, they die.
 Mir. Davis knew these facts, but his zeal caused him to endeavor Go penetrate where no wnfte man. so far as known, had ever before gone. His effort cost him his fife. Exactly when or where the murder was com mitted will probably never be learn ed. Also. while they have cost an other life, the vast. silent forests oi the interior remain as little known as on the day Mir. Davis left George. town.

A cHAsrENEo TRUST.

New York World: The price Of sugar has risen to If cents a pound. Three months ago it was 41-4 cents. This advance of nearly D per cent in tho Erice of a household necessity affects every family.
 The American Sugar Refining com pany-the Sugar trust-has issued a statement in explanation of this in crease in price because it deems it timely to record publicly it's under standing or the advance and it's own policy in connection herewith" The trusts statement is plausible and has the indorsement of Chairman Hard wick of the congressional committee which has been Investigating the af fairs of the American Sugar Refining company. He agrees that the reasons for the increased price of sugar are the scarcity brought about by a 30O- 000-ton shortage in the Cuban crop, a reduction of from i 1000 900 to 800. 900 tons in the European beet-sugar crop, and speculation in London and Hamburg.
 Even more satisfactory than the trusts explanation is the fact that ii should have so far mended it's ways as to take the erouble to explain. In one respect the trusts have been chas- tened. The public-besdamned policy is thing of the past. In another re spect, however, methods remain the same. The public always pays the en- tire increase and the trust keeps up it's dividends.

THE FORGOTTEN
 PRECINCT OFFICERS.

In declining to include in his election proclamation, precinct offices, in the list of offices to be filled at the first state election, Governor Sloan takes the same view as was advanced by the Review not long ago with re- spect to these onlces-that no pro- vision had been made for them by the constitution.
 In a single instance does the con stitution aIlude to precinct officers and then. only incidentally, in Section r of Schedule and Miscellaneous.
 "All state and county officers,
 fexcept notaries public) and all
 justices of the peace and consta-
 bles whose precinct includes a
 city or town or part thereof, shall
 he paid fixed and definite salaries
 and they shall receive no fees for
 their own use"
 The convention at the late day of the adoption of Schedule and Mis- cellaneous' undoubtedly believed that it had already created the precinct offices.
 It is true that election ordinance, No. ? contemplates precinct offices and it inferentially makes provision for the nomination and election Of candidates for those ofhces. But election ordinance No. 2, while the product of the same august body which devised the constitution, or assembled the patchwork of which it is composed, does not partake Of the sacred and divine character Of that instrument On the contrary it is of the earth, earthly.
 The governor in issuing his prOcla- nation is bound by Section p of the enabling act which prescribes that the governor shall: ..
 issue his proclamation for the
 election of state and county off
 cers. the members or the state
 legislature and representative in
 congress and other officers PRO 1. VIDEDFOR IN SAID cONSTITU-
 TON
 Governor Sloan is thus bound to what he finds ir the constitution and we do not think. as was suggested in a dispatch from Phoenix on Tuesday night. that the board of supervisors,

LONGEST FLIGHT BY BIRDS

Perhaps the longest straightaway flight made by birds in their migra- tions is accomplished by some of the shore and water birds that nest in the islands of the Boring Sea and spend the winter at Hawaii and Fan ming Island, 22O0 miles away.
 Inasmuch as some of these birds live entirely on the shore and are probably unable to rest on the sur face of the water. it is thought that they must accomplish the whole dis tance in a single flight
 Yet, although there are no land marks for them upon their long jour ney over a waste of waters. they make their way 10 their destination with the precision of a rife shot New York Herald

either willingly or by a mandatory writ can supplement the performances of the governor as directed by the en- abling act.
 This mistake Of the constitution makers can be repaired only by an act of the legislature among whose powers is that of the creation Of offices.
 We fear that the omission Of the precinct offices by the constitutional convention is not the. only oversight CT inconsistency that time and close inspection will disclose, and not the most serious one, We believe that if that document is to become wholly applicable to our needs and is to full fn the intention of it's makers. it will have to be made the subject of much loose, open-work, and peek-a-boo con .suuction.

Some men hate to be husbands as naturally as some boys hate to go to school.
 I sometimes fear, after have been in a big crowd, that there are a good many ugly people.
 I never knew any one who worked more than he should. but I know thousands who do not work enough.
 I never knew a man who didn't often do good deeds You probably do enough good, but are not careful enough Of your bad habits.
 Occasionally l meet people who say sermons are not long enough. but I have yet to hear any one speak well Of the afternoon parties gwen by women.
 A nation is civilized when it has a police force and a public sentiment strong enough to make it's own out laws behave.
 A woman enjoys kissing so much. and objects so much to men kissing her. that We often regret that the pow erty Of human nature is such that a woman cant kiss seTself.
 l have noticed that when a man does a poor job of work for me, he can make a perfect explanation: noth, ing l may say can convince him that he is in any way to blame.
 Your bad habits are exaggerated; another reason for having as few as possible. If you are seen coming out of a saloon once a day, people will say they saw you coming out a dozen times.
 When it is said Of a man that he is in advance of the world, il is usually the case that he is wasting time advocating doctrines that won't work. If you are abreast of the worlds progress. you are doing well
