RAILROADS AND RUM.

A certain railroad, says Golfers, announces with pardonable pride that it carried last year on it's 26,000 miles of track 1SS.111,S76 passengers, and not one of these passengers was killed in train accident. That" says the Canton (O.) Daily News, lis one of the biggest zeroes, one of the mightiest noughts, that the year has to boast of" Another newspaper, the Butler (Pa) Citizen, writes: There is no doubt whatever that this condi- tion was rendered possible only by the company insisting on strict sobriety on the part of it's employees. With drunken engineers, drunken dispatch CTS, and drunken conductors, accidents and deaths would have been common. Drinking on the part of employees used to cost their employers a lot of money one way or another, But now adays it only costs the railroad man his job.
