The Metropolis Disaster.

Another terrible shipwreck has been added
to the long list of disasters upon the Atlantic
coast. A steamship freghted with near three
hundred human beings has gone to pieces
close to land and nearly two hundred prec-
Ious human lives are sacrificed. 1t was but a
few months ago that one OF the best ships in
the America navy suffered the same fate
and near the same spot. The losssof the
Huron was due to the error of her navigator,
the wreck of the Metropolis seems to have
been the result OF unseaworthiness. She
sprung leak, her pumps gave out and to
prevent sinking and as the only hope left she
was run ashore. The responsibility appears
at present to rest upon the owners who should
have known her condition and net have per-
mitted her to go sea. Her passengers were
laborers bound for Brazil and the suspicion
will arise that because they were not people
OF influence any vessel was deemed good
enough for them and not much trouble was
taken to examine her condition. Only a
thorough investigation can fix the blame
where it belongs. 1t is to be hoped that it will
be held and that no guilty man will escape.
Disasters of this kind are becoming altogether
too frequent. Preaching is we'll as far as it
goes, but only the certainty of punishment
for their criminal neglect will prevent avar-
icious owners sending rotten hulks to sea or
unskillful orreckless navigators running them
upon the rocks.
Travel by sea, it is true, is fraught with dan
gers which no human foresight can avert, and
no laws however stringent can entirely pre-
vent disaster from wind and wave. They
can do much however, and the statutes
which our legislators have from time to time
enacted for the better protection of life on
shipboard ale founded in wisdom. There is
little danger of throwing too many safeguards
around human life and as long as such caIam-
tiles as the Metropolis disaster are possible
the public will not brook the removal of any
of those which now exist. Rather will they
insist that more be added and that the sense
Of responsibility of those persons to whom
life is committed bs quickened by condign
punishment for any neglect of those precau-
tions which the law or prudence dictates.

lF there is any one thing thoroughly set
tied it is that strikes in these times work
ruin to tne strikers. The Lynn Crispins,
however, didn't think SO, and undertook to
compel their employers to pay them higher
wages than their business could affo.d. The
result has not been such as they bargained
for. Instead of higher wages they get none,
and are fast approaching starvation, while
the shops which they left are rapidly filling
up with other men. They will purchase
wisdom dearly, but it will be worth a good
deal to them when they again get employ
ment.

THE Democrats have renewed their assault,
upon the army by cutting down still further
the appropriation for the West Point military
academy. They pretend to fear that the

will soon topple over, like an inverted pyra-

furnishes much more probable explanation
of their action, however.

THE life saving service evidently sadly
