II Whatever else may be said of
General Hancock, ne must be accorded
the credit of being wise OIL the subject
of protection and free trade. He fired
the following chunk of wisdom at a
reporter ofa Democratic paper in a
recent interview:
"The tariff question is local ques-
ton. The same question was brought
mp once in my native place in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is a matter that the general
government seldoms cares to intetere
with"
For presidential nominee to talk
like this of q question which every
Congress tries to "interfere with
argues condition of education that
may be mildly described as peculiar.
1t is evident that General Hancock has
devoted great deal of profound
thought to the subject of protection, and
knows just how it is brought about.
The Aforesaid reporter survived the fol-
lowing stunning information from the
"superb":
"My election could make no differ
ence either one way or the other.
There has to be a certain amount-mil-
lions of dollars-raised by tariff that
can be got in no other wav, and that
must necessarily give protection to the
manufacturing interests of the country.
1t is evident that the Democratic can
idate is great man. We have no
doubt the party organs are in ecstacies
over the above astonishing bits of wis
dom. We fear, however, thatif Gen,
Garfield had put them forth the same
organs woodland justly too-pro-
nnunce him fit inmate for an idiotiC
asylum.

Shocking Railroad Accident.

PrrTBURGH, Pa, October, "a terri
BILE accident occurred here tonight,
on the Pennsylvania railroad. Wallis
accommodation train, which left here at
1880 o'clock, collided with a special
train from Greensbury, at Twenty
eighth street, where the riots occurred
four years ago. Both trains were
filled with passengers, especially
Wallis, which contained several march
ing clubs which participated in the
Democratic demonstration here TO-
night
PITTSBURGH, Pa. October 10.-The
frightful collision that occurred last
night on the Pennsylvania railroad
near the Twenty-eighth street crossing
was more disastrous than at first re-
ported. Nine persons were killed out
right and eleven more have since died,
making in all twenty deaths, while as
many more are hurt, and whom the
physicians say cannot recover. In
addition to these there were many but
slightly injured, as stated last night.
The first section of Walls accOmmo-
dation, going east, left Union depot at
II 80, pm, having a large crowd OF
passengers on board who had been to
the city to participate in the closing ex-
ercises of the Exposition and witness
the Democratic demonstration. The
back platform was crowded. The first
section stopped at the regular station at
Twenty-eighth street, where it was de-
layed on account of another train
which was in the next block. The Sec
ond section came along at good speed,
but owing to the crowds on the back
platform of the first section the signal
lights were hidden from view, and
consequently the engineer of the Sec
ond section did not see the train ahead
of him until it was so near that his
train could not be checked in time to
avert the collision, and the engine
went crashing into the rear coach OF
the first section, packed with human
beings.
Among the unfortunates the engine
buried itself to the very car windows
among screaming, suffering men, wo
men and children, mangling all who
were in its course. The boiler head Of
the colliding engine burst of by the
shock, and the scalding wafer and
steam poured over the occupants Of
the car as if bent on completing the
horrible work that had gone before
1t is impossible to describe the fearful
scene that followed. The means of the
dying and wounded, and the shrieks o.
those who had lost friends was fright
full. Word was Immediately tele
graphed the mayors Office for assis
lance, and twenty-five policemen, with
a full corps of ply sicians and wagons
were dispatched at once to the scene Of
disaster, where they were soon busily
employed in alleviating the suflering
of the victims, and clearing the wreck
The wounded, who were unable to carr
for themselves were carried to the sol
diers' hospital, located but a short dis
lance from the accident.
