COSTS OF ACCIDENTS.

The cost of accidents on tho railroads
to railroad companies has recently been
compiled by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The different railroads Gf
the country. responding TO the call oil
the commission, have made the returns
Of accidents for the three past years,
1905, 1903, and 1910 giving the num-
Der of accidents the kind of accidents,
and the amounts paid by the railroad
companies ia the way of damages or
compensation. The commission sought
this information with view 10 form
inc some approximate idea Of the proper
figure TO fix the cost Of employers ha'
bilitv and workmcn S compensation,
problem which the commission is en-
deavoring to work out with Il view TO
legislation fixing the same. 4 sum-
mary of the information received IS
thus given:
In the years 1905, 1909 and 1910 1t cost
the railroads about $1,000 for every per
son killed. something over $1,000 for every
person permanently disabled in part ana
and totally disabled. Where the cases
were taken into court and judgments oh"
tained the cost TO the railroads was much
heavier than when j settlement WAS ef-
fectcd directly. but far tho greater part
OF the cases were settled out OF court
In the cases OF the killed fifteen were
settled directly where one WIS tried IN
court In the three years $50 railroads
paid i3,S33.9I9 In settlement of death
claims. The aggregate payments for per-
manent partial disability amounted TO
nearly $4,000. 600. Tho cases Of perma-
mont total disability cost the companies
S6GS 600.
When one considers the shock of ac-
cidents, including the killing and MAIN
ing of human beings. the destruction OF
material. as well as the compensat,ons
paid no one need wonder that the rail
road companies themselves are the
most anxious of any of our industrial or
commercial combinations to prevent
every kind of accident where preven-
tion is in any way possible, and TO keep
out from their employ every one whose
defective sight or hearing could in
any way conducc TO the bringing on Of
accidents Railroad accidents have a
terrible list every year of killed and
injured; and the cost of it all to the
companies is not only warning TO
the railroad companies TO prevent accl-
dents wherever such prevention is pos
sIble, but also a keen reminder to them

THE WAR ON TIPPING.

The war against the tipping nuisance
goes mcrrily on, not only in this coun-

The strike Of London taXicabbcrs

A PERJURED GOVERNOR.

1t would be incredible, if IL were not
established by written proof, that the
Governor of n State could actively con.
niye at lynching. and not only that,
would, so far from taking any steps
TO prevent Ivnching, actually commend
and encourage it. And vet such a case
has occurred IN the United States. The
confessed criminal is Governor Cole l.,
BlcaSc of South Carolina.
The case arose over a negro at Hone
apath who was in imminent danger Of
being lynchcd The sheriff of the coun-
" tclcgraphcd TO Governor Blcasc that
the negro would be taken from the Jail
in his charge by mob unless military
protection could be provided, The
Governor. instead of providing any
protection OF taking any means TO save
the prisoner who was in the hands of
the law, replied: - Keep in touch with
the Iloncapath affair and send ME a re-
port tomorrow morning telling me what
is going on. As the imminencc of
the Iyuchine was for that same night,
the Governor 5 telegram was refusal
TO protect the negro. and consent on
his part that the prisoner should be
lvnchcd He thus became au accessory
before the fact. 10 the lynchlng. That
he understood quite well what the ef-
feet OF the telegram would be is evil
dent from his own explanation. which
is as follows:
Sheriff King received that telegram,
and he understood It's meaning. Next
morning ! received his report and II was
exactly what / expected. AS matter
OF fact II IT had been any different
would have been greatly disappointed,
Governor Blease further explained
that. rather than use the power of his
office to prevent the lynching, he
would have resigned the office and
come to Ioneapath and led the mob.
This is by FAR the worst case of the
madness of mob rule that has ever oc-

DECREASE IN CALDER.

II is n common enough observation
that the leadership in the two Houses
of Congress as applied to both parties
is falling off in measurable capacity
and in dignity and impressiveness as
well. compared with former times
There is nobody now in the Lower
House. for instance, at all comparable
with the great leaders of the past
Champ Clark is Joke; Mr. Underwood
Of Alabama is probably the nearest TO
the old time standard OF capacity. and
he seems small by comparison with Car
Isle, Reed, Blaine, and others that
might be named.
In the Senate the same falling off is
apparent. There is no one who stands
head and shoulders above his fellows
and there is none who has the Senate
majority at his beck and call as of old
AldTich himself seems small as com
pared with those who preceded him as
leaders OF the Senate. But, who sue.

The day after the letters were mailed
the women fiocked into the store, but
the fire that burned in their eyes was
the fire Of the avenger rather than of
the bargain hunter One word which
each woman had underlined in her
letter explained their wrath. The gar
ments. so the manager had meant to
say, had been designed for women of
stock figure, such as they possessed,
but the male stenographer had drawn
on the alphabet and had written it
'stocky."
"No woman on earth would have
been guilty of such mistake"
growled the manager.
