There has been a notable Increase
in railroad freight rates between the
west and east lately. This may not
at once ke good for commerce, but it
shows that there is a growing stiffness
in trade generally. Money that has
been in hiding for several years is be-
ginning to come out to got the benefit
of temporary rising prices, and it is
not unlikely that an era of war time
raMroad rates may rule for a while.
It has almost stopped the grain move-
ment and thero is a dearth of wheat in
St. Paul, Duluth. Chicago and other
centers. It is, therefore, not improb-
rble that wheat will reach the pro-
phesied |1.50 before the month of May
closes.
The deputy collector of customs at
the port of Pultneyvllle, N. Y.. has re-
signed. He Informs the treasury de-
partment that no money was collect-
ed at the port in 1897, and less than $150
in all the four years of his occupancy
of the office. His salary for that time
aggregated $2,880 That was what it
cost to collect $150 In revenue. The
country is full of these out-of-the-way
and antiquated customs posts which
cost far more to maintain than the
revenue they yield One secretary of
the treasury after another lias appeal-
ed fo congress to consolidate the cus-
toms districts and abolish these ridicu-
lous cinecures. but so far to no pur-
pose. As patronage horses congress-
men of all parties have a keen interest
in maintaining all the public places
possible.
The Boston Herald has just discover-
ed that the figure that represents (n.
cle Sam must be changed. It says
"The Uncle Sam of the cartoons, even
the best of them, is underfed, if appear-
ance Is to be trusted, and resemble* a
ranting populist as much as any Amer-
ican type. He is gawky, gaunt and
gullible. Such a soul could be taken
only from a sepulcher. such an ill-fit-
ting costume only from a second-rate
masquerade. He fills the bill poorly
and is not to be compared In this re-
spect to the fair Columbia We be-
lieve lie would almost buy a "old
brick."
What the Herald would like to see
is one of thorn British dude follows o-
elssy mm as the Now York Sun calls
them. Uncle Sam may be popullstlc
and all that, but save us from what the
Boston Herald would inflict upon us.
^ In I Resident Ripley's article in The
ommoner of March 10, his first sub-
ject of dfacuasion is "the sanguinary
feature of the railroad operation." lie
say* he deplores '.lie loss of a single
human life, and then proceeds to mini
mi'0 'he number and importance of
the casualties, and to excuse the acci-
dents as if they were unavoidable.
Millions and millions of people, he
says, are carried for every one that is
killed, and lie finally concludes that
the very safest place that a man can
he is on a railway train.
But the bloody average of nearly
forty thousand persons annually kill-
ed or wounded in the United States, as
compared with the much smaller aver
ages in other countries he does not
mention. He refers to the old but un-
proved saying of railway attorneys,
that "more people are annually killed
h.v falling from the windows of houses
thun through the operation of rail-
roads (It course nobody knows any-
thing about the truth of that state-
ment, but it may be replied that a vast- I
ily greater number of people have the
daily and hourly opportunity to fall j
from windows, than they have to be !
hurt on railroads. And yet, with th
far greater number of exposures, it
absurd to suppose that the window-
danger is equal to the raihva
of the United States.
To prove his position the write
quotes from the Kansas City Journal
a paper friendly to his side of the ques
tion. The Journal says that acciden
insurance companies offer to pav twice
as much for accidents on railroad cars
as they do on accidents of other kinds
and, that "it is more necessary to bu
an accident policy when one gets off
the ears than when one gets on
This statement is very much like, ns
President Ripley says, "talking for
public effect" But, taken as true
is an admission that exposures to rail-
way accidents are half as dangerou
exposures to all other accidents
combined. When one is on a railway
train lie escapes exposure to most oth
er casualties. Ho cannot then fall
from the (vindows of houses. He can
not fall from trees, nor be kicked by
horses, nor gored by cattle, nor be
thrown from a horse. He cannot fall
into wells, dashed from carriages or
wagons, nor run over by teams, lie is
merely exposed to the usunl casualtle
of railway travel, which, according to
the Kansas City Journal, are not quite
equal to all other dangers combined.
i he question now arises ns to why
railway travel is thus partially free
from accidents? There can be but one
true answer. It is because of the pre-
cautions provided to prevent them.
And it is a plain and safe inference,
which President Ripley admits when
speaking of the English roads, that, if
the precautions were stiil further elab-
orated and perfected, railway acci-
dents might be almost entirely pre-

lishinen: It. is, in effect, oold blooded
murder, as if "through maiace afore
thought! Nor can these crimes be
compensated by all the "taffy admin
istered by their task masters. It may
seem kind to pat a man on the back-
slid say, "brave, Sam, I am proud of
you. But with sensible men who are
compelled to "go on strike" in order to
maiutain wages above the starvation
point, it is not permanently satisfying.
Taffy and flattery "for public effect
cannot take the place of just treat-
ment, better wages and shorter hours.
These, our faithful and capable rail-
way employes should and must have,
though it may be necessary to scale
down official salaries somewhat, and,
to tap and drain off that great ocean
of railway water, on which is unjustly
collected several hundred million dol-
lars per annum. Should this just pol-
icy he earnest adopted and enforced, it
would give us lower rates of travel and
traffic, better wages for the men-
greater freedom from accidents for all
concerned, and far greater satisfaction
to the general public.

ing a perpetual burden of eleven bil-
lion dollars, which is said to have been
used in perfecting out-
vented.
But, what are the precautions neees-
essary for the prevention of railway
accidents?
^irst. The track should be as smooth,
level and straight as possible. The
road bed should be broad and solid;
and, well up so as to insure perfect
drainage; and, to shed the drifting
snows to the utmost extent practica-
ble. The sides of the grades should
slope gently so as to avoid slides in
wot weather. The same rule should
be observed ns to the banks of deep
cuts to avoid caving and land slides.
Curves of the road, and, especially
short curves, should be avoided wher-
ever it is possible to do so. They are
expensive and dangerous during the
whole life time of the road, though the
first cost may be less than the work
necessary to avoid them. Culverts and
b idge should be first class, iu keep
ing with the requirements of a first
class road. No such costly perfection
as this can be attained on the average
wagon roads of the country over which
must pass the trayel and transporta-
tion, with teams, wagons, carts and
aarriages.
Second.
Gen. Weyler, late "protector" of wo-
men and children in Cuba, says that
he did not place mines in the Havana
harbor and the letter brought out to
that effect by a newspaper man is a
forgery. At the time the general was
probably too busy to place the mines
in the harbor, as recent statistics show
that 200,000 Cubans have either starved
to death or been murdered since the
insurrection. The general, of course,
wj\s unable to do too many uungs at
once. Besides, he was not the man to
neglect his butchering business for
♦lectrlcsl experiments.
The rolling stock and jjen-
eral equipments should be of the best
ttyles and materials, nnd built in the
most perfect manner; far surpassing
the class of miscellaneous vehicles ever
ittained on the average wagon roads
inning the towns and villages, and
hrougli the woods nnd prairies of the
-•ountry at large.

peted and ready for operation, it
ihould be thoroughly and fully „ian-

>f all these forces should be an incom-

Now with all these safeguards for!

might be safe and satisfactory for tin-
purposes of travel and traflic; and. Un-
people are annually paying hundreds
of millions to insure their perfect safe-
ty-
But what are the facts and condi-
tions of the past and present? By com-
paring the railway management here
with that of other countries, we find
it to be the bloodiest and least safe of
them all. The slaughter of peopie on
the American railways is far greater
than in England, ou the continent of
Europe, in liritish India, or, in Austra-
lasia, in proportion to mileage of roads:
and, far greater, also, iu proportion to
the number of persons carried.
On page 50, Interstate Commerce re
port, 1800, are figures showing that, it
England nearly seven million passen-
gers nre carried for each one killed;
our roads carry less than one fourth as
many for each person killed. The
ngllsh roads carry over half a million
passengers for each one that is injured;
in this country less that half as many
arc carried for each person injured.
i he Interstate commercial report of
1890, page 335, says:
"The comparative freedem from ae-
idents on the Australasian railways
especially worthy of attention, ln-
eed for n term of years the lines in
south Australia and Queensland were
holly free from accident."
Hie same report, on page 1 .'if, says*
The railways in Australasia, witli
the exception of one or two very short
lines, belong to the various colonial
governments."
The oflicial figures show that pas-
sengers are killed and injured in the
I nited States more than four times as
fast as they are in England. Todd's
book on railways, referring to (ier-
many, Austria-Hungary, British India,
and to this country, page 74, says:
"According to the summary of rail-
way accidents, it is by far more dan-
gerous to travel in this country tlian
in any other. The railways of the
I nited States have killed and injured
3..I as many passengers and Ias many
employes as the other three countries
combined."
President llipley says that the great-
er safety of the English roads is be
cause of their greater perfection, and.
better safe-guards generally, lie says
it would cost in Kansas one hundred
million dollars to perfect our railroads
and to safe-geard them as in England;
and he thinks the people would not
stand that adiiitiona 1 burden.
In reply it may be said that Kansas
is now carrying four hundred and for
ly millions of railway capitalization on
the mileage of the state, about half of
it, perhaps, water. Now let that heavy
burden of water be expended on our
roads as suggested by 1'resident Uipley
and we will have the best and safest
roads in the world, with a lighter rail-
way burden than we are now carrying.
Let the Santa Fe company change the
supposed water of its capitalization
into actual expenditures perfecting
and safeguarding its linos, and there
will be no need of the president
through a long and lediou
per controversy" to prevent -preju-
dice agaiust his management It
would be a mere act of justice

THINGS.
Southern Cotton >1111*
lllntory Will lie the Same.
From the Boston Transcript: The
arugnient of the southern papers that
their section is bound to monopolize
the cotton spinning industry of the
I nited States is based on the assump-
t on that the present labor and social
conditions of the south are bound to
e perpetual. Thus we find the
< harleston News and Courier arguing
that the urban surroundings of the
1 evs England mills by increasing the
cost of living to their operatives, com-
pel the adoption of a wage schedule
that handicaps them in competition
^ith the south. While pointing out
t iat I well and Fall River have grown
from small mill towns to large cities
it says in effect that In the south the
eotton factories are surrounded by the
old style of mill villages, where the
people live cheaply and simply and are
content with lower wages than are
paid In the north, for the reason that
they can make money go farther.
Granting that the News and Courier
presents a true picture of the situa-
tion as it Is at present, the recom-
mendation it makes for the south to
continue to build more and more cot-
ton mills will, if carried into effect,
change all that. The mill village will
develop into the mill town, which, if
It prospers, will become a city. It Is
human nature for people to use their
earnings to better their condition and
surroundings. The cotton mill opera-
tives of the southern mill villages are
people of simple tastes, to whom hard
cash was little known before the fac-
tory came. How long win it be before
these people become discontented with
the hut and from their savings be-
come cottage owners? They will want
better furniture and clothes. Their
aspirations will force a higher cost of
living and then we may see the south-
ern mills either meeting an organized
demand for better pay by concessions
or reaching out into newer fields for
cheaper help. Such has been the his-
tory and experience of the New Eng-
land mills. People of the caliber of
the help employed in the Lowell mills
when that city was a growing town are
oo valuable to be employed in dw-
ells factories today They know their
earning capacity and they find It grati-
fied in other fields of employment than
n the mills. Time a, Ias, makes
things even, and as the south prospers
wages in the mills are bound to reach
a level with those of New England. So-
cial changes must have industrial ef-
fects or the history of the world goes
for nothing. The process of the ele-
vation of labor by rising aspirations
or e cr things than it has known
heretofore may go on, probably will
go on slowly in the south, but it is
bound to come if that section devel-
ops as a great industrial country
Here at the north there mav be a re-
duction of cotton mill dividends as a
