A PASSENGER train ran at almost full
speed into another train going in the
same direction, near Crystal Lake, this
state, on the Chicago and Northwestern
on Saturday last. The trains leave Cary
station within few minutes of each
other. The first train goes at greater
rate Of speed and reaches Chicago some
time ahead Of the other. The engineer
of the first train stopped IN cut to ex-
anime his engine, something appearing
wrong with its working. 4 b-oakman
was sent back to signal the grooming
train, but was unseen on account of a
dense fog. When the train came near
the stationary one, the engineer reversed
the engine and he and the fireman sprang
out and saved themselves. The two rear
coaches were torn to splinters and took
fire SO suddenly that it was with the ut
most difficulty the passengers We're saved
from burning. Quite number were in
jured seriously and it is feared some
fatally None we're killed outright
There is g great deal of indignation ex-
pressed at having trains follow each other
thus closely.

THE application of Parnell and the 9th
er land !eaguers indicted with him for a
postponement of their trial in order to
enable them to attend the coming session
of parliament was denied by the Irish
court of the Queens Bench. The chief
justice took occasion to deliver a stump
speech Ia Judge Noah Davis of the su
preme court of New York, in which he
denounced ParGell and the Land League
as the cause of the troubles in Ireland.
This action of the Judge foreshadows the
result Of the prosecution pretty clearly.

THE Oshkosh Times suggests that the
democrats place no ticket in the field next
fall. 1t urges that to do SO would be
useless since such man as Gov. Smith
could beat J. ". Jenkins by majority
of fully $4,000. Such a result does make
popular elections appear farcical for a
fact. But as the republican party has
all the intelligence it must be that some
thing must be found by them III Smith
not apparent to the ordinary ken. We
would amend The Times motion by sug-
costing that ticket be placed in the field
but no canvass made.

Now THAT 1t has been discovered that
the patriotic people of the north were
during the late election, fighting a fam
tasy in the solid south, would it not
be we'll TO turn the attention from Sec
t0nal grounds to economic questions
Is It not better 10 quit saving the union
which sensible people believe is entirely
out of danger, and do something to i'm
Grove the civil service of the government
aud add to the prosperity of the country?
Mason and Dixon's line has received rs
much attention as the famous problem
Of the quadrature of the circle and with
as little good to the people as the latter
was to mathematics. This cheap gush
Of patriotism never yet added to the
glory or prosperity of a country. Poll
tieiaus have kindled the fires of patriot
ism So often that it begins to look like
tue mimetic warfare of the stage or like
the martial array of young boys who
tramp to the sound of fife and drum.
We have had enough of Falstaffian mill
tary glory. The people have acted the
part of supernnmaries long enough on
tue stage where some hero frets and fumes
aul saves the union. We should have
no more war dances or war paints. The
''big Iniuns' should bury the tome hawk,
wash of the paint and so to hunting buff
falC. There has been too little blood for
SO much pautomime. 1t is high time the
people played the part of FIuellen to the
modern Pistol who is so rampant for war.
The sinuosities of civil service need
attention more than the curves of Sec
tional lines. The injustice of the tariff
is question more nearly affecting the
interests of the people, than the old
memories Of Appommattox The curbing
Of the power Of railroad corporations is
question more instinct with life in its
relations TO the people than the section
from which majority of chairmen of
legislative committees chance to come.
The question OF equitable taxation is
more important than any utterance of
Wade Hampton.

lug them; while, st the same tine, had
they confidence in the remedy, the ex
