The Ufa of the railway station agent , at in-
tormcdluto points , Is not a continual round
of pleasure. In the performance of bis duties
ho Is compelled to "star" in many a Urania.
About 4 o'clock in the morning ho arises
from his couch , and from Unit tltno until
about midnight is compelled to roujain at his
post. What nro the duties of a station agent
At a country port ?
Well , but few pcoplohuvonny Idea of what
they UID.
In the morning ho is compelled to don the
Kuril of u Janitor , uud pro-ouipthig n feather
duster , cleans up the ofllco so
that when the anent arrives it U In
proper condition for his lordship. Yen , ho
is also tliu agent , but when ho Is cleaning up
tlio room , ho is only the Janitor. It is not
qulto tliiio for thii ugont to put iu uu appear-
unco , BO ho IB transformed into a baggage-
man. Hu next manipulates sample cases
illlod with lead pipe or heavy hardware. A
few moments lulur , ho ia plodding across the
plains U ) deliver a telegram. Ho is thqn
jdn.ving the role of ntcsimpo boy. Ho Is no
longer n message boy. Ho has a present
ment that thcro uro perhaps several cases of
eggs to bo shipped by express , and with u
4l-c tlbrc in each pocket atarta out in the
role of an express agent. This done , ho
glances at the timo-worn dial of the clock
which rests on n munlcl piceo composed of n
low rtiHty nails driven Into the studding ,
nnd discovers that It Is uoar train
time. Now you lliul him at
the ticket stand. Ho does not look as
though ho would coudcscend to carry and
deliver a lulogruin-now. His facois wrealhod
ID smiles. A diamond stud glitters in his
ahirt bosom. A silk tlio is hud ono Bide , but
euOlclcntly close to the whitlow so that
everybody within range of the latter can not
but PCO the Hhlnlng headgear. Ho ia now
the liter.l Uckot ugiiut , but for a short time
only , us somebody will wlro Information to u
resident coucorlng tlio condition of u mother-
iu-law or bachelor undo. Mr. Ticket Agent
must IIKIIIII Bttuiitor foith and fuou the inevi
table Unit is thrown iu with the position of
tatlon ugcut.
I Yut some people imagine that the average
station iifj-unt Is a pensioner on the company
by which lie U employed. Such is not tlio
ease , uud on the other hand he is often
poorly paid for the volume of scrvlco per
formed.
It is dangerous , to any the least , whore
trains running in opposite directions are
scheduled to meet at a given point at the same
moment. The same mav bo sulil where trains
* r duo to moot at a given point nt too same
tliuo whitro roads converge. The wreck on
the Hurlington at Gibson was largely duo to
the former of these facts. It U true that the
engineer on ono nf the trains was found to'
have failed iu the performance of his duties
through his fulluro to apply his air brakes ;
but , if the other tnr.n hud reached thii spur
track In proper tlino , the line would , huvo
boon cleared uud no collision would have re
sulted. As it wus , both trulus wcro due
to meet ut the same time. No
ono will dispute that they "met"
or that the mooting will provo as dlsasterous
to the company ns it proved unfortunate to
the passengers. Hallroad men , as a rule ,
admit that the practice of making too clone
connections at points on the same line with
trains moving in opposite directions , is a bad
one , and one that sooner or later must result
us did it in the wreck at Gibson. Practical
operators state that nt least ilvo minutes
dilTcrcnca should exist between train arrivals
under such circumstances. Then if a train
bo belated , in either instance , n special
order , giving the nirht to the track to either
train is inntlo n necessity and the trainmen
in both cases are thereby made uwaro of the
fact.

L. S. Coflln , ox-railroad commissioner of
Iowa , incorporates the following in his pica
for protection to railway employes , life and
limb , a copy of which wus forwarded to this
paper :
"It is now proven beyond all shadow of
doubt that automatic couplers nnd power
brakes arc as practically applicable to freight
as to passenger cars nnd would provo to be
an actual saving and economy in operating a
railroad , for without considering the delays ,
expenses nnd damages arising from continual
wreck , the sum of money paid out annually
by the railroads to nartially alleviate the suf
fering of those injured mun nnd their fami
lies is greater thnu the cost of the safety ap
pliances.
"While on the railroad commission the
writer spent weeks , yes months , on experi
mental trains with thu ablest rallroid ex
ports for the very purpose of ascertaining
the practicability of using the automatic )
couplers uud brakes on freight cars , nnd , as
said above , every doubt wus removed and so
admitted by the railroad exports who as n
committee from the National Master Car
Builders' association had these experimental
teats in charge and they ta reported to itiat
body. Hero then Is the point I wish to make
emphatic before the public mlud :
This "absenteeism" in the ownership of
our railroad property as a rule ban the elfect
of mulling these owners Insensible to thodnn-
gors to lifo and limb to which our citizens en
gaged in the railroad service are continually
exposed , and tlioy are made to stand before
the public as heartlessly weighing the terri
ble suffering from loss of the lives and limbs
of railway men , together with the crushing
grief of wives and mothers , against thu few
paltry dollars of outlny it might take to cniiip
their endues ami freight cars with the safety
appliances now admitted to bo not only prac
tical but In the end economical.
No matter how humane thogcnoralonicora
nnd management may bo , or how willing to
put on these lifo nnd limb saving appliances ,
they uro powerless to do so only us the boards
of directors vote to appropriate tlio money
for this npcclil purposo.
All who are any way familiar with the
temper of most hoards of railroad directors
are tr.varo that the great demand from them
upon the managers of their property Is for
"dividends. " They are very slow to listen
to anything from these managing ofllcers that
calls for n considerable present outlay of
funds. Thcao presidents and general man
agers want to bo reinforced when they go
before the boards by a "public sentiment" era
a "thus salth the law. " While some of the
roads are doing something toward applying
these safety devices , our appeal is to boards
of directors and muuugors of all railroads
mid to the legislatures , both state and na
tional , to give this humuue subject their first
consideration.

TheofUolU report of the last national ios >
sion of the Typographical union has reached
Omaha.
The meeting ivas held in Denver. The
union , it is shown , is in a very healthy condi
tion. In the contingent fund there is ? 20,00t ,
and the same amount is in the reserve fund ,
ivhich is only usrd in cnso of strikes and
bcnollts. During the last year the mombei-
ship increased 1.UOO , which is the largest ac
cession it has experienced since its inaugur
ation. This union is ono of the oldest labor

"One year ago , " said a tall , uald-hoadod
cigiirmaker who has lived iu Omaha for
years , "wo had over ono hundred cigar-
makers. To-day wo have less than half that
number. Why ? Uocnuso the Omaha ro-
t.iilera do not patronize homo industry. The
saloon Itcope-a will not handle cigars that
are mudo in Omaha , still they want our support -
port when election time roKs around.
The tobacco used by us homo fellows is
us good it not bolter than they bu.In . thoeast
but you can't ' convince the local retailers ,
nnd as n consorjuonco. wo huvo boon fro/nn
out , one at a turn' , while only n few nro loft.
Out of thirty-six shops where cigars nro
made in Omaha , thcro arc only about six in
which the manufacturer employs nny 1ielp.
In the others the men do their work ut homo.
They cannot afford to p.iv tent. If homo In
dustry in this particular line were moro lib

Omaha and the cicrarmnkor's union. "
The red Inbol which was Inaugur nteil by
the union cigarmakorH of Omaha has been
abolished. The matter was laid before tha
union'a headquarter oflicials , who opined
that the red label would ronlllct with tbo
blue label , und the Omaha boys Immediately
volunteered to glvo it up.
