THE LANSING DISASTER.

We think no candid person can read the
testimony in relation to the blowing up of
the Lansing and not come to the conclusion
that somebody was to blame. From the
fact that very few persons were scalded, in
fact none, seriously and from the fact that
nearly all were colored black as negroes, we
cannot doubt that the water in the boiler
was low, and what little water there was in
the boiler was thick with mud. The timbers,
boards and every part of the boat with which
this foul stuff came in contact was blackened
like a CHAIR. Add to this the fact that, the
boiler was old and leaky, and had not been
inspected this year, and there can be nc
doubt that somebody was to blame. 1t was
the business of the Western Union railroad
company to know that they had a safe boat
strong and proper machinery, and careful
and competent men to run it. And it was
the business of those who did run the boat
to know these things, ALSO. We censure no
one in particular-but we should be recreant
to our duty, as public journalist, if we fail
to say that there was culpable ignorance or
recklessness somewhere. If there is no law
to help guard against such occurrences and
punish those through whose agency they
come, then the people should demand the
enactment of one.

The steamboatmens' convention, recent
ly held in st Louis, passed resolutions setting
forth that; as the laws now in force in
relation to navigation and commerce apply
almost exclusively to ocean navigation, they
should be modified to suit inland navigation
and especially high pressure boilers and ma
chinery; that to avoid explosions, boilers
should be constructed only of double-ham-
mered charcoal iron or steel that laws COM
polling the use of lookup valves are impolitic
and unnecessary; that taxes and expenses,
consisting of licenses, enrollments, inspec-
lions, hospita! dues, hotel license, passenger
and other taxes, to which no other branch OF
business is equally subject, bear so heavily
on river steamers, many of which are OF. a
small class, that it viii either drive them
from the rivers or compel them to retort up
on the public that when master or owner
of a steamer equips and mans the same il
accordance with law, the said boat or owner:
should not be held for damages arising out
of the acts of any licensed officers.
The resolutions also prescribe the rule 70
the measurement of steamers and provide
for the appointment ola committee to draw

EASTERN RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION

The Peoria Transcript says that an i'm
mense consolidation of railroad interests has
taken place, by which the Pennsylvania Cen
trail is to be extended, virtually, from Pitts
burg to the state line of Illinois, by the way
of Steubenville, Columbus, Union City and
Logansport. The new road is to be called
Pittsburgh, Indiana & Mississippi R. R
Co." The only unconstructed gap to PEG
ria is about 100 miles between Logansport
and Union City, and this, it is said, win be
completed by October.
If the Coal Valley road could be extended
to Peoria we could then look forward to hav
ing a new, short and very superior route tt
PHILADELPHIA and New York.
