railroad men to consider the subject Of railway
management with special reference to such facts
a. have been brought out in the investigation
into the Revere disaster. Tho circular Of the
Commissioners very pithily makes one point
which has already been noted in TIE TRIBUNE
that the Eastern Railroad, ono Of the Oldest
in the country, uses none Of the modern
appliances to secure the safety Of passengers
from death and manning. But, In the general
investigation which railway management must
get, we must not overlook that Of any line OF

Although King Amadeus is young and in
experienced ruler, and the true son of a
father not over-ngid in public or private
morals, he has a manly sort of respect for law
which we cannot help admiring. Orders have
iust been issued from one of the departments
of the Government for the dismissal of all
police inspectors who have been derelict in
duty in the matter of suppressing gambling
houses. 1t is an exceedingly fortunate thing
for Superintendent Kelso and his suborlinates
that they do not live and hold Office in Spain.

Mr. w. 8. Groesbeck always makes the most
of himself. Some of his admirers tried to
make little more than this "most," when
they essayed the task of manufacturing a
Presidential candidate out of him; but still he
is Democrat of considerable talent,
more influence, and a prestige more
than prOportionate to both. He could
not appear undignifed, even if only
blowing his nose; and he accordingly
takes up Mr.. Vallandigham's speech and re-
peats it over to us with an air of dignity
which all must admire. We welcome his
utterance, and can wish the Democratic party
no better luck than that Groesbeck may
multiply and prevail. He is vast improve
ment on the average type of Western Demo-
cratic statesmen, and his speech yesterday at
Steubenville, to which we invite attention,
represents him well.

bers handled was this: Resolved, That conscience

Admitting that all have consciences, we are some
times at loss to know Of what possible they

gland in the center of the brain, the purpose Of
which anatomists have failed to find out; and it is q
wellknown fact that the politics Of this republic for
many years were based upon tho notion that con-
science is mt "a safe guide" at all.

1t Ia confidently announced that it has been
decided at Salzburg by Prince Bismarck and
Count Won Beust to suppress the International
Society. This is easily said, but cannot so
easily be done. We must set down the report
as another of the wild guesses at the result OF
the Salzburg Conference. The statesmen
named are not the men airily and jauntily to
announce their "decision" to put down any
such large and widely-ramifyins organization
aa the InterDationals.

novel idea has been offered by Mr.. Joseph K
Chandler in recent able paper before the Society
for Penitentary and Refomatory Discipline. He
suggests that o newspaper DO published expressly
for the use of convicts 1t is tho custom OF jas and
penitentiarics to prevent the use Of daily newspa-
pers by the prisoners in order that the records OF
crime may not be accessible to them. In fact. as
Mr.. Chandler asserts, with unconscious savage
satire crimes are made too much the staple topic IN
our daily newspapers to render them fit for Use in
our ais if these are intended reformatory nsti-
tutions while the /" religious press" is apt to be
irritating and offensive, and more likely to instruct
the convict in differences of dogma than principles
of pure morality. Mr.. Chandler who has devoted
the later years of his hOnOred life to the ameora-
ton of tho prison system and the reform OF their
inmates is better qualified than NEST men to speak
of the needs of convicts He understates, however,
the senseloss restrictions placed upon any effort
made for their reform or mental comfort In only
the largo and best managed institutions Is there
any provision whatever of books papers for their
use and in those the selection is too often such as
would repel instead of alluring the convict. The
period when mans life is utterly void Of incident
and his vacant mind gropos hungrily for some sus-
tenance, wholesome OF otherwise, is surely the time
to offer him healthy food in which his future life
NAV find new strength and stimulus The ordinary
treatment of the prisoner is to recognize him as
beast, accessible only by means OF his stomach. or
heat and cold, to reformatory influences Mr. Chand-
er was one of the first who urged that he be acknOw
edged and dealt with as man, and the present sug-
gestion seems useful and practical

to Rst rid Of the Tammany swindlers
Q month ago than there ever had been
before. II the Democratic papers, when these
frauds were first exposed, had Joined Us IN de-
manding the expulsion Of the guilty officials,
tho Ring would have been turned out at once,
and the Democratic party would have been re-
lieved Of heavy load of odium. But most OF
them chose to shut their eyes and pretend that
nothing had happened, while The World hast
ened to constitute itself the Rings official
apologist and defender. 1t pronounced Mr..
Connolly's vindication clear and complete. 1t
sought to persuade the public that the new
City Government had done no harm, and that
all the assaults upon it were slanderous and
malicious. 1t defied us to obtain redress, and
asked supposing the charges to be true, What
we were going to do about itf Even Tho
Leader was not Q more ahject slave OF the
Ring than this hero of the Jack-knife War.
And now Tho World, with its customary de-
votion to the winning side, proposes to desert
again-in which resolution 1t is doubtless ac-
tuated by the same high principles of selfish
ness and unwavering devotion to its indi-
vidual interest which have characterized the
many vicissitudes of its exceedingly checkered
but not particularly brilliant career. We'll, let
it come on. 1t is not worth much in fight,
but every great army has its following OF de-
serters and refugees who may be of use around
the camp or on the march, but never can be
trusted in battle. A real soldier does not re-
gard them with profound respect, but he will
treat them with plying kindness The World
therefore has permission to enter our lines;
but Of course it will keep in the rear.

The Massachusetts law relating to railway acci-
dents is this The corporation may be assessed not
over $1,000 for killing passenger careless serv-
ant of the road may be punished by imprisonment
for term not exceeding year in length, and by
fine of not moro than $1,000. WE'LL here's your
Eastern Railroad case here arc your careless serv
ants, your murders, and yourlaws and yet We ques-
ton whether either the corporation or It's careless
servants will have much trouble except from per-
sonal suits which may be economically compromised
As for the years imprisonment, we doubt if either
conductor is shaking much in his shoes at the pros
meet of that.

Elder Evans was lecturing in London not long ago
as q propagandist of Shakersm This is the same san
glne individual. if we mistake not, who essayed to
convert through The Ahantc the aesthetic tea-clubs
of Boston to faith in Mother Ann. The Eldor was
under tho protecting wing of Mr. Hepworth Dixon,
who achieved much money and damaged reputa-
ton by his revelation Of the "spirtual wifchood"
in this country to his own, and who exhibited the
Shaker orator example of the Innocence OF
the concentrio circles of ccbacy." Shakerism has
come with 80 many people to be mere synonym for
unshrinkablo flannel and high-priced dried corn,
that we will all welcome the Elders explanation of
its spiritual and aesthetic sgnifcation. He draws
from Genesis the idea of the Divine Woman asking
chow God could make man in his own image, male
and female if be had no element of the feminine in
hmi How could there be father when there is no
motherf" This Divine feminine element, of course,
resides in Mother Ann in whose image. he asserts,
women were made. Rarwin's theory is ! 99t aatter-
ing to our fair sisters but what will they say to this
new Origin when led up to it by the Elder and Mr.
Dixon.

Genius is sometimes cratic. George
Francis Train utters many wholesome
truths, but he occasionally falls into
sbsurdities. His lectures at Louisville
last week were brilliant, largely attended,
and loudly ~applauded by tbs peoples but
Mr.. Train never committed 6 greater blum
der than in proposing to establish =
national college to educate editors. In
other words, Mr.. Train assumes that an
editor can be made IN q schoolhouse. A
national college can no more make an
editor than 1t can make a poet. No nan
can be q successful editor unless, like
Horace Greeley, Thomas Richie, and
thousands Of others we could name, he
understands the art Of pr~inting-the best
college for training an editor. 1t is well
enough, in theory, to talk about national
colleges in which to mold editors, but, re-
duced TO practice, nine out Of ten will
become victims Of misplaced confidence,
and prove miserable failures. Il is not
the studied editorial that reflects the
polish Of 3 collegiate course thst has rem
dered the pen mightier than the sword,
but the sharp, pungent writings of men
whose contact with the world has made
them close observers Of passing events.
would have editors well educated, put
the time spent in drilling under a profess
or, deprived OF the sctuslities of every
day life Is worse than wasted. An hour
in contact with exchanges, with the devil
calling for copy, q merchant presenting
his bill, an advertiser complaining Of the
place occupied by his advertisement, and
q subscriber enrsged about the non-re-
Of his last paper, will knock the
LOFTY sentiments of one Of these college
educated, handbook sutomstons into Pi,
and leave him grouping his way in the
midst of darkness, asking for light, and
why such things were not
upon in the lecture-roOm. The
best college an editor ever attended was
to commence his freshman course in on
tact with q roller, spend his sophomore
year at the case, his junior period with
the press, and graduate In the jOb-room of
some well-conducted printing office; but
It requires something back of this to make

MEMPHIs AND BALTTMORE.

The Baltimore Gazette says that par
ties in close connection with the Pennsyl-
vania Central - have leased or purchased
many southern railroads. 1t says that
the scheme was devised by ". T. Walters
four years sgo, who wss Joined In this en-
terprise by Messrs. Alex. Brown & Sons,
General o'Donnsll, and Messrs. Thomas
c. Jenkins, Horace Abbott, Thomas Kens
nett, George Bartlett and B. F.. New
conner. Messrs. NJ. K, Jessup q Co.. d.
Willis James and Roosevelt & Son, OF
New York; Drexell & Co., P. A, q 5.
Small and whitney & Sons, Of Pennsyl-
vania, and Daniel James, OF Liverpool
are also associsted with it. Over seven
million dollars have already been sex-
pended in actual cash outlay and up to
the present time, by purchase OF stock, q
controlling majority in a number Of most
important lines of railroad, comprising In
all one thousand -four hundred and twen-
ty. five miles, has been secured. Besides
this, control has been obtained under
lease, OF three hundred and sixty-three
miles additional. The combinations al
ready comprise complete lines from Rich
mond, Wis Dsnviile snd Charlotte to At
lsnts; Richmond, via Weldon and VIII
mington to Charleston and Augusta; and
from Atlantis, via Knoxville to Bristol from
which a connection viii, In all probs-
bllity, be made with Dsnville by General
Flournoy's road, which will be construct
cd. Additional roads have been built, and
all are, or are being put, In hrst-class
working order and thoroughly equipped.
The great benefit to be derived by the
South from q thorough organization Of q
complete system of roads, under one man
agement, fully equipped, and free from
the petty snnoysnces Of local interior
encs, must be apparent to everyone. Such
a system must tend to develop immense
ly those great home interests, agriculture
and manufactures, upon which the very
vitality, indeed, we may almost say exist
ence, Of the South now depends.
The Gazette states that negotiations are
pending by which othsr lines will be Sc
cured and that direct access TO Mobile and
New Orleans is a pslpsble necessity. To
what roads the Gazette refers, and
whether the Memphis snd Charleston be
involved in the scheme Of those capital
lists, is not known. 1t seems from the
clause above quoted from the Gazette, and
from facts known in reference TO the sale
Of East Tennessee roads, that Tom Scott
Is q manager of two great railroad rings ;
one, for Baltimore; the other in behalf of
