The Ashta buln Verdict.

It is some satisfaction to know that Ohio
can produce coroner and jury who re-
tain conscientious regard for their oaths
and perform their duties fearlessly, even
when the responsibility of o great railroad
corporation for the safety Of its patrons
comes up for investigation. The recent
horror ut Ashtabula startled the whole
country with it's appalling details and sent
desolation to many households. But when
the question of an investigation was dis
cussed people generally believed that
such could not be conducted I'M
der the shadow of tho railroad power
The public regarded with impotence
and doubt even the preliminary
efforts of the CAoner to discover the cause
of the disaster. But now we find that the
work of the jury was not vain one, and
that the accident" has been stripped of it's
surrounding of mystery and placed before
the world MS horrible railroad butchery.
After reading the several clauses OF the YER
dict no one can deny that it is fully justified
by tho facts put in evidence. Experts in
bridge construction have proved that this

for the ratification of the States when Con-
gress is so disengaged from the multifarious
business of general legislation. This will be
capital opportunity for Senator Conkling to
acquire new distinction and lay the country
under an additional obligation. Let him
give an energetic and eloquent support to
this important recommendation of the
President The only thing needed for its
immediate success is to arouse and interest
the public mind in its favor, and no man in
either branch of Congress has so enviable q
capacity to set forth the merits of great
measure with convincing force and cogency
as the great New York Senator. The inn
portant requisite is to overcome public
apathy. and q statesman whose eloquence
gives him a secure hold on public attention
will fail in his duty if he does not contrib
ute his unequalled gifts of persuasion to
promote reform whose necessity is so gen.
orally acknowledged.

Ashtabula death trap extended for years
over the chasm awaiting its victims !;
that any competent engineer would have
recognized its dangerous condition If
employed by the company to inspect
it. We know that the railroad company
took no precautions whatever to preserve
their passengers from danger, not even by
supplying self-extinguishing stoves for the
cars; therefore no inst reason can be ad-
vanced why this reckless corporation should
not be made to pay through every pore for
the blood of the slaughtered passengers of
the Goth of December. But we have not yet
learned why it was that the Chief Engineer
of the Fire Department did not endeavor to
extinguish the flames in the wreck. We do
not believe that his disregard for the lives of
the sufferers in that hell of ice and fire

Phila nthropic I'm bccility.

Mr.. Bergh appears as counsel for the
Spitz dog, and it must be admitted that the
case of this ill-tempered little beast is in
very bad hands, SO far as relates to the skill
of the advocate or to any other qualities
than sympathy for his cause and general
intention to be impertinent to persons who
hold different opinions. It has been argued
in these columns that the Spitz dog is q
peculiarly dangerous member Of the canine
family. This view, not, we believe, pecu-
liar to the HERALD, was first derived from
tho fact that in many recent cases
of death attributed to hydrophobia the
victims have been bitten by dogs of this
variety from the further fact that great
increase in the recorded number of cases of
death by hydrophobia in England and in this
country appears to date from the introduce
ton of this animal, and from the fact, worthy
of special consideration, that this dog seems,
like the rattlesnake md the copperhead, to
secrete in some conditions Of his system q
virus in his saliva that will cause rabies,
though the dog himself be not at the time
the subject of that disease. All this Mr..
Bergh meets, as he seems to fancy,
with statistics that is, he meets it
with the allegation that he has
known of fifteen Spitz dogs which
were not mad or not reported to be mad. 1t
has commonly been thought a good joke
that an Irishman objected to the hardship
of sending him to prison on the testimony
of two witnesses who saw him commit the
theft when he was ready to produce fifty
witnesses who did not see him but with
Mr. Bcrgh this is not joke, but valid and
satisfactory argument. We are not of the
same opinion with those who believe that
Mr. Berghs society might better make even
On imbecile answer than to hold it's tongue.

An energetic prosecution Of the military
operations provoked by Indian hostility is
at least one of the necessary steps for the
pacifcation of the frontier, and this part of
the case the government exhibits laudable
intention not to neglect, as will be seen
by the news elsewhere given of the
steps taken to open the spring with
vigorous assumption of the offensive.
1t has been the common reproach of our
dealings with the savages that an intermit-
tent war not only gave an ample season for
recuperation, so that oil the harm done
them in three months of repression was
abundantly recovered from in nine months
of rest, but also that we cultivated the mex
haustible character of the war by the
fact that one department of the gov
eminent reftted and supplied the very
tribes that another branch Of the public
service sought to ruin. There seems some
likelihood that we have got over some Of
those old difficulties The prayer meeting
system, which was founded on an opinion of
the Indians drawn from the history of
William Penn, is less relied upon than
il was Public attention has been
turned so closely to the corrup-
tons of Indian rings that swindling
has less immunity than formerly and is not
so common O source of Indian irritation,
while the great excitement of the calamities
of the Big Horn expedition has actually
forced on the government the course Of not
supplying the savages without taking a
guarantee that the supplies furnished shall
not be used against the army. All this is in
the right direction, and the purpose
now disclosed Of following up Immediately
the hard blows given in the winter clearly
indicates that the government has adopted
systematically as an Indian policy what has
long been recognized as primary condition
of success-the constant, persistent applica-
ton of the force we possess. Pursued for
some years this policy will make the from
