FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. II.

WARM WEATHER.-Yesterday was another
hot day-an accumulation, seemingly, 0: lis
oppressive predecessors. 1t is difficult to write
editorials such weather, and easy TO use the
scissors, provided you can get in a compara-
lively cool pl.ce. They don't perspre. They
work fast and promptly, and can do up col
umn in few moments. They are to the edi-
tor what sewing machines are TO the ladies,
and patent threshers TO the farmer. 1t is easy
TO render TO scissors the things that are scis-
sors, but it is hard TO tax the brain with writ
ing about politics with the thermometer at
go and still rising, albeit, that subject, pro-
verbally dry, is believed with perspiration
and glistens with moisture. Readers, too, par
taking of the general lassitude, can pardon
editorial short comings. If paper was issued
at noon they would pardon blank sheet, if it
was only damp, but reading this in the compar-
alive cool OF the morning they must have
something The case of Peispiraiion rs. In
SEPARATION can never GO against the plaintiff
with the thermometer at its present altitude.

SOMETHING FOR THE SUFFERERS by THE Bur-
LINGToN MASSACRE few days since in Ian
caster, Pennsylvania, widow of the name of
Wilson recovered four thousand dollars DANA
gcs from a railway company, for the loss of
her husband, whose death was caused by the
breaking Of rail- Another Pennsylvania
has recovered five thousand dollars for injuries
received by the upsetting Of q stage coach.
Now here are two cases where all due care was
used--tbere was no culpable haste to save a few
miHutes Of time--no forgetting to sound the sig
nal Of danger-no single track meanness on the
part Of corporation rolling in wealth-yet
the plaintiffs recovered round sums. The
question that occurs to us is this--If these per-
sons recovered so much when there was no
criminal csrelessness or despcable meanness
on the part Of the carriers, what ought the
unfortunate sufferers by the Burlington mas.
saere to receiver We hope they will think
about it before they accede 10 any terms Of
settlement The victims and their survivors
owe duty to their fellow men, and 1t is to be
hoped that they will listen to no compromise.

THE MAINE LAW REGULATED on THE PACE
FIc.-The people OF California and Washington
Territory have just repudiated the Maine law
At the polls Ia California, the majority
against the Probibtory law was about five
thousand, or ten per cent Of the whole vote of
the state. In Washington, the noes exceeded
the ayes by one hundred in vote OF twelve
hundred. We believe that the law has been
repudiated in every State this year where it
has gone to the people on a direct issue. ana
in Maine, where it has had fair three or four
years trial, it has been thrown overheard
without ceremony. We must arrive at the
conclusion that the coerciye temperance game
has been played out at last.
