Steel Coaches Should Be Adopted.

Times Promoter. Hernandez.
The modern steel railway coach
has proved its worth several times
recently in railway wrecks. 1t can
not be splintered like the ordinary
wooden coach, and is not so easily
telescoped by the cars in the rear.
Wrecks have occurred where the loss
of life would have been great but for
the steel coach. For this reason the
steel coach should become the stand
ard coach on all railroads, adding, as
it does, so MUCH to the safety Of the
travelling public. Now that they
have demonstrated their worth it is
likely that they will ultimately be
used exclusively on all railroads.
Their use would mean economy for
the roads as we'll as preventing many
deaths from accident.

NATURE COMPLETES THE PANA-
MA CANAL. s5

(From the Scientific American.)
The closing Of the sluice gates at
the Gatun SpillWay on July LIST may
be regarded as theJ final step taken
by our engineers in the great work
OF providing an artificial deep.draught
waterway between the Atlantic and
Pacific. It is for natufe to do the
rest. During the next four months
the turbulent Chagres River and
the lesser streams of the Panama
district will pour their waters into
a widespread valley from which there
lis no outlet. Shut in by the Gatun
Dam THE north and the upper lock
gates of Pedro Miguel to the south,
the surface of Gatun Lake will rise
inch by inch and foot by foot. Its
overwhelming area will creep silent
~ up the 4converging valleys until
the lake has risen to it's working,
level of eighty-five feet above the
mean tide level Of both oceans, at
which time vast artificial inland
sea Of fresh water will have been
formed with a total surface area OF,
nearly one hundred and seventy
square miles.
There is "a certain flavor OF poetry
and romance in the greater works Of
engineering, especially In those OF
a civil characters every visitor to
the canal during its construction
must have realized before he had
gone very. far over the work. There
is something that appeals to the
Imagination and even to our sense OF
the dramatic in contemplating the
thought that the fierce Chagres Riv-
er which at the outset of operations
was regarded as the most serious
problem confronting the canal build
er, the most stubborn enemy to his
progress, is today his best friend,
and under his guiding hand is put
tingN the finishing touch to this stu
pendbus work. NJ t3 \, ..5. J.
incidentally, in the Harvesting OF
the Chagres River, our engineers
will greatly facilitate their struggle
against that other great natural OBJ
stacle to the canal completion, the.
slides at the Culebra cut; for with
the rise Of the lake it will become
impossible to flood the cut, and To-
cate at the most troublesome point
of sliding, the two extremely power
Iul QreQSeS WulCn are now appAO oSH
ing completion for the Istmian Canal
Commission. These dredges with
their monthly capacity Of 100000
yards will probably be able COM
pletely to control the situation and
take out the sliding material as fast
as. it comes in, and at a cost far
below that possible with steam show
els. Furthermore, their great capa-
city makes it certain that such slides
as may from time to time occur dur
ing the operation Of the canal, will
never become so serious as to him
der the flow of traffic.

the new currency bill will be OF great
benefit to the. business Of the coun-
try: and, with one exception, It q. IS IS
quite satisfactory to the banks as as
we'll as the general public. That ex-
sception, however, is SO all-importan !,
that a compromise is not possible.
The proposed bill provides for the
control Of our finances by public
servants, instead Of by private in
.stitutions or individuals. Of course

lion letters to congress. Was that
business?
3 To make this sharp-shooting eff
fective, men and money We're freely
but secretly used in all parts OF
the country. The money was OBJ
tanned largely from the trusts. The
men were under constant admOnitlon
from headquarters to work by stealth,
to write no letters, to talk little.
Was that business?
To control the House committees
on Judiciary and labor at any cost,
to spy upon senators and representa-
tives. to dictate national republican
platforms and to create in Washing
ton fear Of an unseen power that
penetrated White House and capitol
were the eeryday occupations of the
lobby. Were all these business?
To bride the leaders of organized
labor, to bride arbitration boards, to
defeat eight-hour and child.labor
laws and by dark-lantern tactics to
block tariff reform at every turn
were these also business?
That the men who were carrying
on this enterprise knew that it was
illegitimate is proved by their; let

says another, the phrase being the
same as that used by the Mcnamara
dynamiters in some of their writings.

. These men were not exercising
political rights, for their methods
were those of the ASSASSIN. Their
credentials were spurious. They Wele

for they are convicted Of pernicious
if not criminal practices by. their
own letters. They were, in fact,
engaged in a mOnstrOus conspiracy.
They did not destroy life or property.
They killed men politically. They
murdered popular government. No
district was too remote for their at
tention; no person too mean or. too
powerful for their wiles.
If this was business, it was, as they
said OF it themselves, ''ticklish BUSH

and business that some day will be
punished.
