THE Firth of Tay railroad accident
iS the only one on record where there was not a
| single survivor and it Is not unlikely TO 20
down through many generations to come with
this ghastly peculiarly. In the history o. Gls-
asters at sea there many Instances OF such
total determination, but in raiiroa''ing there IS
only this one.

THE streets of this town are in a
terrible condition just now. They seem to
have good euoagh bottom, but there Is TOO
much mad on them. This should be scooIei
up and carted off. Il i the best manure ex-
tant for gardens fact that the gardeners OF the
vicinity should remember, provided the Coun-
ell will allow them to haul it away.

A LADY writes an indignant note to
a contemporary, in which, with true rustic
innocence. she expresses belief that editors
never 90 to heaven. We thought even country
people knew that journalists never went any

TIE central system went into for
NAL operation in New York on New Years day.
| II substitutes hundred weights for bushels, SIX
| centaIs or 600 pounds being the same as ten
| bushels The Chicago merchants have declined
| to adopt the system. Reforms of this sort
move slowly. The convenience Of the decimal
system is 20 great in all its applications that
where it il in use ii would be impossible to 90
away with IT, Eventually the central plan |
will be very generally adopted throughout the |
country.

WHATEVER may be the ultimate
outcome of Mr.. Edisons experiment he hGs
certainly succeeded in making the holders Of
gas stock uneasy Reports from all over the
country show that gas stocks have dropped sew
era pegs since the New York Heralds an
nouncement that his last production was
success and the depreciation has extended
to Europe a cable dispatch announcing that
there has been a decided decline in London.
Mr.. Edison has clearly made himself a factor
to be considered by the man who feels moved
to speculate in gas stock.

WHILE George Zieglcr was out
hunting lately, he saw squirrel, as he thought,
in a tree. He took aim an1 fired but still the
squirrel remained stationary. He repeated the
firing three times in succession, thinking that
his gun had gone back on him, until the last
of the three shots fired when to his surprise
down tunibled four squirrels, all joined to.
gether After the three were shot they pulled
the other off not being able to hold them
up. They were joined together by narrow
strip, so that one could not move without the
other, and had been born that way and were
all grown.

TIE year which began last Thurs
day must, in the course Of nature, witness
events Of wide and momcntous import on both
sides Of the Atlantic. Not III the United
States alone but in all the chief European ma
tons, and throughout Central Asia, there are
signs that the coming twelve month viii be
one of strain and crisis, of agitation and of
change. OF the political and social problems
which everywhere confront us few, perhaps,
will be fully solved but in every case the con-
ditions will have been materially altered for
the better, or for the worse, when the next
year rolls round.

IT is barely possible that Uncle
Ouray, too, has wicked nepheg like Yakoob
Khan, the ex-Amecr. After "a vigorous ef
fort" he announces his inability to deliver the
guilty Utes to the United States authorities for
trial, and is Of the opinion that there will have
to be fight before they taken. This will
not be a severe disappointment TO anybody,
unless perhaps To a few grannies who still cling
to the de!usion that the Indians can be pro-
perly managed under the present system The
ties will probably make a pretty hard fight
before they surrender their comrades, the re-
suit Of which will be that they will be driven
off their present reservation and the valuable
land and minerals il contains turned over 10
the people OF Colorado to develop for their own
benefits as well as for that of mankind
You bet, when coughs and colds are
flying about like gnats in a storm, "Dr. Sellers

WE are glad to see that public atten-
ton has been called to the condition of school ;
grounds for although il may not have the effect |
Of Immediately improving all school premises,
yet IL IL the forerunner of public sentiment |
which indicates growing interest in the mat !
ter and predicts with certainty that improve
ments will be made in not distant future. Is |
it desirable 10 ornament the groundsY There |
Is question of the dcsirabilty TO ornament |
the grounds surrounding our common schools |
wherever it is possible to do 50. Next TO the |
home, the school is the place where children |
| spend most OF their time and the more attract |
i've the place is made the better for the purpose
assigned. A neatly kept school-garden will |
also serve TO inculcatc ideas Of neatness, and |
help to develop taste for the beautiful.
