Conductor Buchanan, Of the Philadelphia
express train, which caused the terrible acci-
dent and loss OF life on the Baltimore and
Potomac Railroad, on' Monday, tells tho old,
old story Of negligence or inattention in tho
performance of duty which has become so
common in the recital Of railway and other
disasters. If the gong had sounded and the
engineer had heard and obeyed it the acci.
dent would not have happened, or il the en-.
gineer, not hearing the gong, had taken the
responsibility upon himself to stop the train
and wait the usual time, the catastrophe
would have been averted. There could be no
clearer statement of the cause of the accident
but that terrible 'If" shows how recklessly
the lives of the travelling public are daily and
hourly perilled. 1t seems impossible that
railroad company would despatch train with
o gong that refused to sound or an engineer
who would fail to hear and obey it. Yet had
it not been for one or other OF these hpothe-
ses the conductor who pulled the bell rope de-
clares that the accident would not have
occurred. Mr.. Buchanan's other terri-
BILE IF" suggests an even more perth
uoub INJURY. Id u pOSolulo LAhO lAaAilo
which do not have the right of way violate
the rules of the road unless gong sounds
or an engineer hears and obeys it Is human
life held so cheaply as this by the railroad
companies? If it had been the engineers
duty to stop the train and he had failed
in his duty the culpability would have been
less so far as the company is concerned
but that it was not his duty, unless the
gong sounded, is plain, from the surprise Of
the conductor that he failed to take the re-
sponsibility Of stopping the train if he did
not hear it. This was fixed waiting place,
and under the rules of the company the
train should be stopped with as much GER
tainty as at the most important station on
the line. According to the reasoning of the
conductor of the wrecked train an engineer
coming into Jersey City might run his cars
into the North River, unless he heard the
gong or undertook the responsibility on his
own account The public will not be satis-
fed with explanations like that conveyed
in either Of these terrible "if's.''

ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR BIsMaRcK.-
Prince Bismarck will now have an oppor-
tunity Of addressing England in the same
tone be recently assumed toward Belgium,
the address Of the Archbishop of Toronto
and the Canadian bishops to Cardinal Ledo-
chowsi being identical in substance and
purpose with that with which he found so
much fault. Whether the German Chancellor
will attempt to hector England with anything
like the arrogance he used against Belgium
remains to be seen but in view of the adj
dress Of the Canadian prelates, 50 hostile to
the policy Of the German Empire and 50 out
spoken in denunciation OF it, we cannot see
how he can avoid q conflict with Mr. Dis
raeli's government on the subject And il
the American prelates should follow the e1-
ample Of those across the border Bismarcks
opportunities win be still further enlarged.
Neither England nor the United States are
likely to make laws to suit the German idea
Of religious liberation, and il would be alb
surd to ask it. Nothing better illustrates the
weakness Of Bismarck note to Belgium and,
indeed, Of the whole policy he has been pur-
suing in regard to the Archbishop Of Posen
aud the Catholic clergy Of Germany.
GAEL ScHuRz.-The banquet TO the Hon. Carl
Schurz last night was fitting compliment
paid to that great Senator by many of the
best and most independent citizens Of New
York The speech Of Mr.. Eyarts was q tribute
which the distinguished guest Of the evening
must have heard with more pleasure than the
praise conveyed, for it bore the stamp Of sin
cere appreciation, which is better than tho
most elaborate praise Nh. schurz' own elo-
quent address, full Of strong thoughts per-
fectly expressed, is given elsewhere.
\ The STREET CLEANSING Frauds. The un-
savory subject Of our Street Cleaning Bureau
having been again brought up before the
Legislature, it has been discovered that the
most damaging portion Of The testimony taken
I by last year committee has been stolen. The
Assembly, on learning this news from its
4 Clerk, ordered the stenographer to rewrite the
4 purloined evidence. But at this late day Of
the session the order is a mere farce. No
