Corporation Murders.

During the past three months the
American people have been inflicted with
a surfeit Of horrors, each succeeding one
seeming TO be greater and more sickening
i'll It's details than the last. Gas accumu-
latcs in coal mine, lgnites and eXplodes,
hurrying hundred human beings to All
awful death, leaving the stricken widows
and orphans dependent upon the charities
of the world Through the criminal neg
ligence of an engineer, boiler eXplodcs
on ferry boat, and strews the waters
with the mangled bodies of two hundred
dead and dying persons. Trains of cars
rush into each other, crushing and burn
ing the passengers. And on the Goth of
August comes the terrible accident on the
eastern raiisoad. in Massachusetts, as tit
ting crown to this list of horrors The
verdict of the sworn iuries in all these
cases has been to the one point, that they
are due 10 the grasping avarice of the gi-
ant monopoIics who controlled these rail
roads and ferry boats. The president and
superintendent of the company, and the
engineer of the WeStfeld have been indict-
cd for manslaughtcr III the third degree
Thi., is a step in the right direction; but
will anything come oft?
The people OF New York City at the
present time seem to be paralyzed at the
power of the monopolies, and it is almost
impossible to receive justice when mon
eyed individual or company is interested.
Money has a potential power, and is used
freely in buying up all who stand in the
way Of anything the company may have
in view.
The time has arrived for an earnest
protest from the people against this cor
ruption which is fostering in the high
places. Let it be understood that unless
all possible precautions are taken. when a
butchery occurs, those who hold The high
offices III the corporations-thosew whose
duty il is to see to these things-will be
indicted for murder, and let them have the
same trial as any other criminal who will

RAscALs.-The Democratic organs and

fact that three officers in the United

his crime Norton's Republican seeuri

Government the amount Of his defalca-

his securities, who are good for the amount
are held for it. At the same time OBJ

the Democratic villains in New York
who have stolen from $50, ,000, 900 to $780,

been silent, or have attempted to shield
the villains. The Republican press, with
out exception, have published and de

disgraced the party and the country, an6
have squarely sustained tile Government
in prosecuting them. That is the differ
