THE DANGER OF FLYING.

Now that the tide OF summer travei Is
in full flow, and the pleasure seekers on
the wing, the railroads have begun to re
mind the timid that danger is the price
of fast and far locomotion. Were it not
an accomplished: fact" from which
there can be no departure" that n
long box filed with live and happy peo-
pie, some chatting, some laughing, some
dreaming, some counting, ETC., flying
along an iron thread at q rate of speed
known only to the fowls of the air,
in a moment, without any indios'
ton of disaster, plunges into river and
kills many people, the story would
read like an invention. but out of taste,
because improbable. And how they
still go to the North, to the South, to tho
East, to the West, flying past each other,
bent on getting away from home and
from those cares that dig so long and SO
fatally into the vitals. To cure case
Of ennui, or to break up an old, knotty
case of chilIs, or to wiring the torpid
liver loose from the ribs. or to have a
reunion away off yonder among the
mountains, or by the shore of the sea,
here they fly and there they sweep, rock
ing about and trembling from head to
foot by the motion of the cars. o, what
a glorious thing is changel No matter
how fine the atmosphere and how COM
Portable are all the arrangements of
home, it is good to change. The loco
motive will hurl you within a few hours
into another climate, where the scenery
is so very different, the air SO bracing
and sweet that you feel that you are en-
tering the confines Of another world.
Then towers the grand mountain piled
up before you; and then you cross over
the broad river; and then you come out
upon the prairie that spreads before and
around you like sea. 1t is very glori-
ous-it is very grand, but oh, besyepsl
it is very dangerous, very perilous.
1t seems like sporting with death and
utilizing its very elements, defying its
laws and going for pleasure or profit or
curiosity to the very brink Of eternity.
Yet such things must be- Man has pro-
gressed too far to think now OF rsoeding.
He cannot accelerate the speed of the
earth round the sun, but while it is max
ing its annual revolution, he can run
round it many times. Nor viii human
ingenuity and enterprise pause here on
the frontier of its achievements. Pro-
duce must go still faster to the marts Of
trade, and gentlemen and ladies must
Hy still faster to the watering places
If the perils of travel keep pace with
the accelerated speed Of cars, ships and
boats, we may become accustomed TO
look upon such accidents as that at Har-
peth river as matters Of course and not
to be minded. For the present, it seems
that for all rational purposes. we 60 fast
enough. We want safety. We want
those who control the lives Of people on
public conveyances, to assure safety as
far as intelligence and strict adherence
to principles Of honesty will permit

NOT A pRACgIoAL QUESTION.

a -
We have argued again and again tna'
the discussions of the amendments q
the Constitution were fruitless. If, how
ever, they bear any fruit at all, it is mis-
chieyous. They are distracting the
Democratic party and weakening its
chance of success. We are, therefore
prati6ed to find the view we have taken
urged by Governor Hoffman, of New
York, in speech delivered BY him on
the fourth Of this month. He said:
The acceptance or non-acceptance OF
certain amendments which have recently
been made part Of the Constitution Of
the United States is not practical
question. The civil status of the colored
man is established, and he is in actual
possession Of the right Of suffrage. The
task before as is to save the constitution
