wHITELAw REID.

America mourns the death Of her
ambassador to Great Britain. 1t is
something Of a coincid snce that just
after the announcement OF .he com.
ing retirement of Ambassador Bryce
from his post at Washington, Amer
cas- ambassador to Mr.. Bryce's coun-
try should be called to retirement by
a higher court than n on earth.
The New York Sun in a few words
pays a remarkable tribute to MIR.
Reid as follows:
Regret beyond the bounds Of party
or personal association must be felt at
the death of Whitelaw Reid, who
ranked high among the notable men
of New York and who won success not
in one field alone, but in various fields.
A rank among the great editors of
this city was the first goal attained
in Mr.. Reds career. His influence in
the political life of his party was the
result of another line of successful
endeavor. Finally, as a d~iploTnatist
he filled the highest rank granted to
regular representatives abroad,
and so acquitted himself as to win a
remarkable position in the hearts of
the English.
Worthy aims and fortunate results
met together in this well rounded pub

looked" he continues. He makes 1t
clear that his determination Is already
fixed Il go. ana that the letter Il not
written to secure friends, but for the
good OF other young men who are
oppressed IN the same way.
Undoubtedly there Is much truth in
what the young man writes. The
suicide list bears witness that the
struggle for existence which Q friendly
hand in a smaller city would tighten
has been found too great among an
unsympathetic people. In his own case
there was no fear Of poverty. but the
hungcring for friendships with those
Of his own class drove him finally to q
city where his natural longing for
companionship could be gratifed.
He preferred--and who win say not
w~iseIy--a smaller salary with the glow
OF pleasure which he was to and In
the social festivities where he could
be measured by the standard Of intrin-
sic worth. AS a parting word to the
great city he suggests that some
method be devised by which the cree
deRtials of the lonesome ones may be
looked up in q quiet way and worthy
young people be afforded an oppor-
tunity Of meeting in a social way.
New York, regarded as a great show,
fills the bill and is worth the price of
admission. But the loneliness of the
one who is still a stranger despite
years of residence is a pathetic thing.
a. wilderness Of houses occupied by a
people absolutely without interest in
the stranger is an isolation which
must get on the nerves Of those to
whom s~ociability is almost as neces-
sary as air and water.
Occasionally a young man goes TO
New York and makes a name for
himself, but the rule is otherwise.
There is more of enjoyment of life in
less stringent environment. Going to
see the circus is entertaining and
amusing, but to pass ones life under
the tent is calculated to leave
thing to be desired.

s1EEL CAR PUT TO THE TEST.

1t has been the contention that cars
made of wood were as safe as those
made Of steel, but the proof of this has
always been lacking, n wherever a
fair test has been made, IT has been
shown that the steel cars have proven
TO be safer and better.
In Pennsylvania recently there vas
swreck of a train of steel cars, the
train being composed of twelve heavy
cars and two monster locomotives.
which was going at a high rate of
speed when something happened to
cause a derailment, eight of the
coaches going over a steep embank-
r1ent three of them falling on a coal
train. below. On the wrecked train
there were $50 passengers, of whom
only four or five were killed and as
many more seriously injured.
One Of the coaches turned a somer-
sault. This n was crowded with
passengers, though only a few were
fatally or dangerously injured. 1t can
only be imagined what would have
happened If this coach had been made
OF wood.
The conclusion is inevitable that the
steel coach must take the place of the
wooden coach, and there is no doubt
that the day is neal at hand when the
requirement will be that all passenger
coaches be made of steel because of
their safety against injury or death

Eerred to had been the old fashioned

~ there would have been horrible
stories to tell of how many were PIN
med under the wreckage and burned
before the eyes of the survivors, but
rs the coaches were made of steel,
there were no narrowing tales to tell.
1t has been demonstrated that
coaches may be so strongly built that
the-dangers of travel may be greatly
lsesened though excessive speed is
maintained, and if this be true. will
1t mot be an imperative demand on
the part Of the public that all railroad
coaches for passenger use be con-
structed of steel?

The KENYON BILL.

-
The Kenyon bin, now pending and
shout TO be considered i congress,
which prohibits the shipment of liquor
into q prohibition state, is of particu-
lar interest to North Dakota. 1t is
attracting a large number Of both sup
porterS and opponents TO the national
capital
While the liquor people, naturally,
are strenuously opposed to the passage
Of the bill. the temperance people are
just as naturally-very much in favor
OF it's passage.
News reports state that a large NUM-
Der of men ana women are now in
washington, having gone from various
parts of the country to prevail on the
slenlbers Of both houses to support
the bill to the end that the dry ter
ritories may be protected from the pre-
vailing conditions where, on account
Of the protection Of federal laws, it is
admissible to ship liquor from a wet
state into a dry state.
Both the advocates and the oppo-
nents Of this bill have made a hard
fight and its fate, which now rests
with congress, is awaited with intense
interest by North Dakota and the 9TH
e states that will be affected. The
army of temperance people on the one
sids and the powerful interests repre-
seated in the breweries, distilleries and
wholesale whisky houses ~, the other,
are also a~nxiously watching the out
come.
The passage OF this Measure would
be . signal triumph for the temperance
people Of the United States, while it
would be a heavy blow at the liquor
interests.
