To tha Editor of THE BEE : I have Just road' , ' tno account of the terrible accidents In * jCouncll Bluffs and Omaha which rcsultcd&n { the sudden death of two persons and the serious injury to sev eral others. I note wjta rpsrQt the general senliment that whoever Is lo blame for It should bo made lo suffer , for It seems impos sible to bollevo that anyone would intention ally cause such an accident , nnd the worst act anyone was possibly guilty of was thoughtlessness. Every ono connected with it feels badly enough as it Is , and are not ' likely over tc forgot again , and punishment would not restore the dead , or euro the Injured. I belong - long to that numerous and rapidly growing class of persons who believe that the Christ ianity of Christ might , with great benefit to mankind , be applied to social , industrial and commeicial affairs. To us It seems fai betler lo provide ways by which such acci dents , as Iho ono mentioned or the killing oi Mrs. O'Byrno by a motor are rendered im possible , than to wait till they do happen and them punish some one. I think the heartless commercialism ot the ago is tc blame for suoh things. Railroads and sirool cars are run to make money , and wo should nol lee severely censure Iheir managers 11 they look out for thamselves and let the public do the same. The president of the Railway Sunreon'i association says railroad accidents are or the Increase and gives some appalling figures. In Franco , if I am correctly in formed , they never have such accidents a : thai in Council Bluffs , because there U not t grade crossing in the whole nation. It Chicago there is a strong determination tc abolish the grade crossing , and the railroad ! have been ordered to raise all tracks In the city limits. The railroads say they won't because it will cost too much.Vho cat blame them ? Who wants to run , a railroat unless ho can make money ? Railroads , like other business Instllulions are run lo make money. If the people wlsl the railroads run for their accommodation , let them lake them and run them. Lo them also take the street railways. Maki all railroads run below the level of tin streets , elevate all street car lines , and thei wo , Iho prcat nnd mighty people , can g < upon the highways without feeling that wi are taking our lives in our hands. _ LOOKOUT.

To the Editor o Tun Bun : "The 'populists' of Kansas ask the aid of their political sympathlzcis In Nebraska , the two Dakotns , Oklahoma and Texas to provide means for building a great railroad from Bismarck to the Gulf of Mexico It requires money to build rail roads. The trapullsts In the stairs named have no money. They can obtain money only by borrowing U. Their plan Invokes stale aid by using the public credit for negotiating loans. It would bo Instructive to see a Ihjpulist politician , in the character of agent for a populist state administration , approach a capitalist and ask for money on the credit of Individuals , or land owners , or of the governnicnt In states where iwpulht legislation prevails. Wllh n record"of repudiation they could not borrow a cent. " The above copy of nn editorial In the Chicago cage Herald of the 27th lust. Is a sample of how the great west Is misrepresented by papers that one would think had Ueeoney enough not to befoul their own nest. The "popullsls" have no money. Whyt Because what they produce by toll , above an existence , is exacted hy the mouoy-loan- Ing "capitalist" and railroad extortionist. That wo can obtain inonoy only by borrow ing It Is false. Wo obtain It only by worlo ing for It , by producing It on farms and in factories and industrial Irades , by labor administering to comfort nnd In telligence. How docs Iho "capilallst" gi-t his ? Nine cases out of ton by class legislation and fraud , by forged slocks ami counterfeit bonds. The "iwpullsts" who undertake to build a railroad or nny olhcr culcrpriso on borrowed capital will fall sooner or later , the same as would a business man fall whoso capital was borrowed , no matter what his Industry , re ligion or politics. That the "populists" have repudiated or have a record of repudiation Is false. Some of us have sense enough to delect Iho counterfeit bonds and stocks thai have been issued by the railroad managers at homo and abroad , and wo are going to disown Ihoso bastard securities , same as does our nation Iho base coins issued by their Ignorant cousins in crime Iho counterfeiters of money. When "Nebraska , Kansas , Iho Dakotas , Oklahoma nnd Texas" repudiate honest debt It will bo tlmo enough for these dofamcrs of the great tolling west to bring that charge. The Kearney and Black Hills railway was built aud equipped for less than $12UUU per mile , as proven by Iho sworn lestimony of Iheir own managers in Ihocase of William Nash ot al against Nelson A. Baker nnd others , now on lllo in the supreme court of Nebraska at Lincoln. And yet that road has issued securities upward of $1,000,000 In excess of thai amount , which socurilics are fortrerics of values , and Ihey call upon us "popullsls" ( who have no money ) lo make these forgeries good. That wo have been fools enough to do It so far is ex planatory of our poverty. That railroad ( the Kearney nnd Black Hills ) is a sample of railroad building in the wesl. The branch lines of Iho Union Pacific rail way are built without exception on this kind of value , nnd the main line is robbed to ob tain the $8,000 to $10,000 per mlle actually invested. The government debt goes un paid , nnd wo are asked to extend it fifty years at a per cent and 100 years at 2 per cent. The human cattle of this country are too green to burn , and hell is not their homo if Ihey permit il. A place where forgeries and valued counterfoils are issued unlimited lo bo paid by labor must bo built for thorn. The B. & M. railroad company Is mortgaged to within $32o per inilo of Its cost. * See Iheir own statements to their stockholders. If the "populists" want to build a railroad lot them make UD a purse from a dime to as many dollars as they can laiso , and build it for cash and cash only , and it will squeeze enough water ( forgery ) out of the other roads to irrigate our farms ot the west $ . " > 0- 000,000 per year. The man who pays cosh for his purchases , bo it a cigar or a rail road , needs no credit hut always has it , while he who borrows sells his security , his work and time , growing poor , while the lender grows rich in idleness. If the con vention at Lincoln is called to borrow money to build a raihoad , and docs it , Its lines will bo constructed at a cost based on extortion and fraud the same as aio the lines now built , and like a glass botllo with failure blown in it nnd a hole in the bottom bo but a delusion. No road should bo allowed to bond Itself for a dollar nor issue any stock above the amount actually invested. In Justice to the borrower that ho may avoid repudiation from absolute inability to pay , and In Justice to the lender , a halt should bo called on the Issuing of further in terest-bearing paper. The postal system of freight on a road built with cosh from Bis- mark to the gulf would produce a surplus for bottormonls and extensions that would quad ruple our values and give us a rate not to ex ceed 0 cents per 100 pounds for any class any dislanco. The wildest dream of the nation alist could not picture our prosperity , nor the success of such a lino. But then the public loat of the great west would slip out of the catnsh mouth of the "capitalist , causing him to bawl like a bull calf being weaned lo work. The milk and honey of our producers would bo kept at homo that our merchants miphl share in the benefits. The man who helps the farmer and toiler about him is but exor cising enlightened business selfishness. Let us pray to God for enlightenment that we may slop the "capitalist" from preying upon us through our weakness in borrowing and our credulity In paying dividends on lorgcd values in stocks and bonds It may bo none of my business , but I want to say to the "mossback" interest gatneror of Iho east lhat the toiling "hayseeds" of the west dc not propose to honor Iho raihoad forgerle ; lhat are being ullered , and If wo have lo ap neal from the highest courts of the land tc the arsenals of our country , as did Johr Ir ° wn at Harper's Ferry to free the darkey wo wm make the appeal.

That was just forty ears ago. She was a mlto of a thing , and a great storm of early whiter hail separated lior from the rest of lier bind us it was lastcnlug to summer climes , and drhen her , desperately near death from the sorority of * the elements , to the door of our ample and ancient farm house , It was Thanksgiving ; lay. A crowd of rclatlres and friends were being entertained after the good old Now England fashion. The hundreds of cattle , horses and sheen had all boon comfortably housed from the bewilder ing storm. Three or four tableful1 ? of 'ounlryslde ' guests had been served , every thing possessing a keener relish for the shuddering night and its blinding snow. Whllo the good old place was ringing with aughter and Jollity and my mother , with the nannor of n severe commander , was giving an eye to preparations for the ' 'hired men's" repast , the storm clutched and shook the old tarm homo savagely In the r.Utlo am ) clatter of it all there was swept Into the wide , low-collinged roomascared , trembling , tawny girl of perhaps 15 years of ace. The snow was beaten into her glossy , black hair , which was matted wildly about her shivering form. My mother locked the hired men" out fora bit ; brought the girl to the capacious llro place and drlod and warmed her ; and then with a genuine court martial air , and still with a brusque yet cer tain touch of the waif's immediate needs which had real humanity In It , set her at the t.iblo and fed her until she could hold no more. 'Ihen taking both of us myself ' 'rising five , " as the farmers say , and this plump , Blowing eyed heathen she inarched us iii | stairs , away into the garret , and put us , still together , into the snuggest of trundle beds besldo the lingo , roaung chimney , where , cuddling mo In her warm arms as If for human companionship , and muttering words of nn unknown tongue , which surely held the modulation and accent of prajcr , this lost heathen princess sobbed herself asleep. It would be a long and even a romantic story how tills Gypsy girl was found at our homo by a Gypsy lad the next morning ; how lad and lass disappeared hand in hand like rnsrod silhouettes over the snowcapped lulls about our valley farm ; how when a boy soldier I eamo upon the two , then man and wife , ground between the teeth of war as Hood was making his bravo but fateful winter march upon Nashville , just ten years aftbr the stormy Thanksgiving time , and at a then dreadful risk sot them on their way to Gypsy friend * in the north ; how.buta few ycais later still , again I fauna themthis tliim 'in a great Gypsy camp vihoro the annual May day meetings and partings were going on , and whwe , for what little I and mine had done , this same Gjpsy girl , now queen of her tribe , made my merits , , through her gratitude , so great to her people and race , that hi all lauds and places since , three magic words have unlocked house , tent and heart of all Gypsydom ; but it has brought mo to see and feel almost with Gypsy eyes and mind , and to know that there is truly an impressive reality oven in Gypsy royalty In raps. The accepted notion about Gypsy "kings" and "queens" is that of the stage and story book Gypsy , carrying a witch-crook , striding great strides , dressed in gaudy linory , wear ing a tin crown and bedecked with Drum- in igen beads and rings , who endlessly speaks in n voice of supprebsod basso and who "Theoa ! " "Thousl" "Hos ! " "Has ! " and "Avaunts ! " tromolmg subjects until their joints aroloosein tnolrsoeKots and the camp- llio pots rattle and clink in the crooks of the iron Irottle-slioks. Perhaps something of this sort was in vogue a. few hundred years ago. The history of Gypsy tilbca in conti nental Europe shows that Gypsy "kings , " ' piincos , " "earls , " "dukes" and these ot lesser title roamed about , under license of potentates , with retinues and cavalcades that would have done honor to truly titled folk of the time. But all this sort of thing is now alone found in the shilling-shocKor and penny-dreadful wilds of lltoratuio. There was up to the last century some gen uine royal Gypsy pageantry among the larger wandering British tribes. This was characteristic of Scottish moro than of Eng lish Gypsies. The record of the royal doings of the latter is indeed luminous and unique. In the eirly part of the tenth century , Authonius Gawino , earl of Little Egyptwas so consumatoly shrewd In c.nryingout his assumption of pilgrimage and of being under commands o'f the pope to wander seven years without sleeping In a bed , tlmt ho actually secured the countenance , if not the favor , of James IV. This Anthonius Ga wino seemed to bo a diplomat by naluio. He inveigled King James into giving him a very strong and sympathetic letter to his undo , the king of Donmaik , in which the Gypsy chief and his vagabond followers are spoken of as "Anthonius Gawino. earl of Little Eg\pt , and the other nfllietcd and la mentable tribe of his rotlnuowhlli > t1tlirouBh n desire for traveling and by command of the pope , pilgiimlmr over the Chtistmii world , " etc. , which shows that their imposi tion on the melancholly Scottish king was complete , whether or not his testimonial ever benefited them in Denmark. Until noailyn half-rentury after tins , al though the Gypsies hud alreauy booomo tiaublcsomo , their true character had not boon discovered , James V. . , shortly bofoio his death In 1540 , entered Into n league with "John Faw , lord and earl of Little Egypt , " directing all In authority in his icalm to rompel tlio return to Faw's submission all those Egyptians who hud rebelled against him , and that nil onicors should assist in de taining and punishing these people "in con formity with ills laws , " so that , as the edict read , "tho said John have no cause for com plaint theieupon in time coming" Tills odlct fuithor charged all ofllcors of the icalm to command masters of all ships at ports and havens whom the Bald John and hi * company might coino to receive them , and , on expenses being paid , to convoy thorn to their own country. This was only ashiowd bit of maneuver ing on the part of King Faw , who , being pressed to take hirnsolf and tribe out of the country , pretended to his .followers' lobolllon against him , < ind secured this unique edict in his favor to give color of necessity to pie < longing his aud lib tojplo'sstuy lufecotluui 1 his Paw , whoso shrowdnps t < unpNlha Renutno Gypsy upon his chnraetor , was tha f ho many tribes ot Faws , Knak , or Falls , who with the Hallllps ( formcrli Hallyowfi , the present great Hallojs ot , Ainoiltft ) , have been the most numerous and noted ot Scottish Gjp'ies , and w hose do- , scendanU , as Faw sand Tails , I have found In respectable numbers and condition \ throughout the t'nlted States. , .

All itheso trlbos hold to the right of succession within their sopir.Uo | tiny kingdoms of population rather ihiutj territory with the same tenacity and s.iorodj invlolahllltv ns nny European munnrchlal dyimstj. Where the line becomes oxtlnot , which seldom occurs , It is mnrly always reintroduced - introduced by marriage with members of 1 other liibos where the hereditary line Is ] superabundant. In instances where It Is ] permitted to become nnd remain extinct a ] king or queen or both are always chosen by ( popular election In nearly all such eases the &o\erolgn is selected fronr a family pos sessing the next requisite to royal blood- age without taint of crime. Thus It will bo seen that both British and American Gyp sies , while purely communistic in actual ap plication of trllul government , are among the mostoxncting ot nil strictly monnrchlal people In holding to the principle of royal hon-dltv The climax ot visible Bi itlsh Gypsy royaltj was undoubtedly i cached at ancient Kirk Yetholm , just across the English border , amonsr the Cheviot Hills , nt about the middle of the piesent century. At tha death , at Kirk Yothotm in 1847 , of the king of all the Scottish and many of the English Gypsies , William Faa. or "Auld Wull Faa , " ns ho was familiarly known , they mustered from Yetholm and its immediate neighborhood - ' hood W)0 ) Gypsies and BOO asses as an escort i for his remains'from Coldstroam to the parisn j burling ground at Yotholm. Shortly after his death on the sudden decease of Charles Blythi- , King Will ! mi's immediate successor , ' , n remaikablo contest took place between the I ate Fna's two daughters , Pilnecss Esther I ind Princess Helen The Blvtho line was extinct in Scotland , nndnoono could bo found to dispute the | royal line revolting to one or the other of Lho two Fna prhunssos. Hclnn , the younger , urged her claims on the well known . ind often expressed wish of the dead king , that she should eventually succeed him. ! Esthcr.tho elder , claimed the succession on ' the grounds of senioiit.y. For months tho' ' liveliest imaginable political canvass was waged throughout the Gypsy camps of Scot- laud nnd England. At last the contest waged so bitter that these sisters of royal blood came to blows , the first nnd last broach of the peace over accredited to Gypsies In Yetholm. They were both women of powerful frame , and the encounter has been described to mo by an eye w itncss now Hying as having been of the most- savage and ferocious character. Esthoi was victorious , nnd Helen , or black- boaidcd Nell , as the villagers called her , "got herselveol lickit. " This affray appar ently decided the contest , for when "testing- day. " or-Shrovo Tuesday , on which ho fa mous Bowmmit games nro still notably cele brated , Pilncess Helen and her followers urged no objection to Princess Withor's oleo tiou and coronation. The crowning of Queen Esther whoso full name was Esther Faa Blytho Rutherford the Blythe and Rutherford addenda coming from marriages with , worthless men of her lace was an affairof great note at Yotholm. Her majesty was attended by a royal brother , several princes nnd pi mcesscs of the blood , Pi inco Robert , her son , to whom I hnvo pre viously referred , and a great retinue ol over 300 Gypsies nnd as many townspeople and gentry of the surrounding country. The cavalcade piocoeded to the Yotholm Cross. A jolly old blacksmith named George Gladstone , who had performed a like ofllco for Charles Blvtho , and thus secured tha tltlo of "Archbishop of Yetholm , " wrought a resplendent coronet of tin , sustaining a tremendous Scotch thistle. In presence of the great multitude iio made proclamation of Ins right to exercise the high olllco , and , having in the most solemn fashion sot tha oinblom of royalty upon her head , proclaimed the swarthy heroine "Her Royal Majesty Esther Faa Ulytlio Rutherford , sovereign \ and queen of all the Gypsies in the klug.J dom ol Scotland challenge who dare I" Ad I dresses of congratulation were toad from1 loal subjects in the different shires , from I Iho citizens of Koho and other near cities ] and villages , and fiom Yotholm townsfolk , 1 after which a levee was hold at the "royall palace , " a thatched cottage with n hard ] clay floor , and thn night was passed in ai manner of rustic revelries. , Queen Esther , whoso life-sized portrait la ] oil is ono of my most pi-Uud of Gypsy-rollcs.f died at Kolso , a dozen miles to the north ofl Yotholm , in July , 183J. Her cor-1 lego from Kelso to Kirk Yot-l helm , whcro she was buried beside huudicds ] of her race , was a memorable ono. Thou-l sands of people came to Yetholm.

Perhaps in the whole world thli Is the only Instance whore Gypsy royalty Is ao dly enthroned in witless wantonness. 1 ha name of Prince Robert of Scotland is a by word of contempt in every Gypsy camp or community In every laud. All other Gypsy rulers of royal blood or those chosen to power that 1 over know hold absolute SWOT. Their power is absolute because it is never exorcised save In essentials , They arc be loved because , strange as it may scorn to these who know not , their lives , from the standpoint of Gypsy ethics , nro lofty , good and true.
