for the silence of these men, and it is not
to be sought in carelessness or despond-
ency. They are men who have seen others
as poor and obscure as themselves rise to
wealth and eminence without any legisla-
tive aid whatever, but simply by attending
honestly to their own particular business
and doing their best with whatever means
were at hand. 1t is possible that these men
have imagined that when one finds himself
off the road to success it is because ha has
not kept his eyes about him; they
perhaps believe that the road is
easier rebound by individual exertion
than through government guides, with
free conveyance, also supplied by the
government to wheel them merrily along
to the end. 1t may be that the complain
ing faction, real though many of its troubles
are, may find some food for thought in the
neglect which the classes alluded to have
manifested toward the committee. The
men who, working or merely in search OF
work, are too busy to grumble are also too
busy not to succeed, and the material sue
cess that comes of personal effort is the only
kind that endures in the pocket and en-
mobiles the man.

The Railroad Ace i'd en- 4.

long period of exemption from railway
horrors has been brought to sudden and
terrible close by the Pan Handle disaster.
The accident was Of kind that is least ex-
cusable among those that can befall railway
trains. No one but railway officials can be
made to believe that a collision can occur
without gross negligence somewhere, and it
is doubtful whether officials themselves
have any respect for their own ex-
planations. Equipped, as they are, with
time tables, time pieces and telegraphs,
the employees OF any road are able
to render collisions impossible. The only
exception is in tho case Of the break down
OF q train between two stations but even
in such case two or three minutes Of time
suffice for hagmen to prevent danger. Yet
here the principal train on great road,
the train for which all others should make
way, was allowed at full speed to strike q
freight train, causing great loss of life and
much physical injury. The public will i'm
patiently await the company's explanation
OF this disaster, not only out OF sympathy
for the sufferers but to know what Is the
real extent of the security upon which
travellers by rail may depend.
