An ON NtNS PHILOSOPHY.

At meeting to forward humanitarian under
taking held In one of the lecture rooms OF the Cooper
Institute last week. the venerable Peter Cooper, who
has lately passed his nlnoteth birthday occupied
seat on the platform When the business Of the
meeting was finished he made q few remarks in
which he gave tho audience glimpse of very
genial and charitable philosophy OF this life and
the life to come. He said he was satisfied that the
circumstances and surroundings amid which child
grew up usually determined his career as q man.
This belief led him TO make great allowances for the
sins and failures Of human beings and to think
that he, too, might have been like one Of the many

r1EKArED RoAD COLLISIONS.

The dangers of collision on the elevated
roads. which have not called out any practical
measures from the officers of the COM
pany. have nevertheless attracted the At
tentiOn Of railroad men all over the
country. A railroad man of forty years
experience, who has national reDuta-
ton for ability in railroad matters,
writes us that the recent warning of
THE TRIBUNE on this subject has not
come day too soon. Unless the system by
which one train now sometimes Oyertakes
another is changed he says, ian accident too
horrible to contemplate will occur"
The remedy he suggests is simple
enough-that block signal should be
made visible to the engineer at each sta
ton upon the departure of every
train from that station, the bOcl,
not to be removed until it is known
that the departed train has left the next sta
ton forward.
If such simple system were adopted, and
with it an order that any engineer violating
the rule would be instantly discharged and
prosecuted by the company for criminal neg
ligence, there would be no more col
llsions on the elevated roads, even in
the densest fog or the most binding
snow storm. 1t seems almost incredible
that, even without any such system, an order
should not have been issued long ago
directing the telegrapher in each station,
in case of fog and the like, to
stand at his instrument and signal the de-
parture and arrival OF trains. All the ap-
paratus now exists for employing this
precaution, and it would have been
supposed that any person of average common
sense in authority over the elevated roads, no
matter how little or how much railroad
knowledge he had, would have seen
the necessity of doing at least this
the first time fog settled down on the city.
But whole series of collisions seem to have
taught the management nothing. If such an
order has been issued, we have not been able to
discover it, and the roads employees
are in the same state of ignorance. For
permanent use, however, there should be no
makeshifts. The plan proposed by our cor
respondent is practicable, and should be
adopted at once.

NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA.

An intelligent correspondent, writing from
Northern Dakota, whose letter we PRINT on an
other page, heartily cSmmends the project for
dividing the Territory, and furnishes excellent
reasons for carrying it into effect without fur
ther delay. He does not approve, however, of
the adoption of Pcmbina as the name OF the
northern division, because it is local name
now applied only to q single county in the ex-
treme northeastern corner of the Territory,
and he suggests that the old name be contin-
ned as the property of both the new Territories,
one TO be called North Dakota and the other
South Dakota. This seems to us Objectionable.
Looking TO the future when both these Terrific
rcs will be great, pOpulous States il would GER
tainly be better that each should have its own
peculiar name.
The name Dakota has scarcely been long
enough in use for any strong attachment to it to
have grown up. 1t belongs properly to the south
ern part of the Territory, which is drained in
large part by the Dakota River. Let the peO-
nle in the northern section find some other
name. if Pembina does not suit them. There
ouoht to be an abundance of euphOniOus local
Indian names to choose from. Ogallaa has
been suggested, but does not seem to us par
ticularly happy. Ii there is no Indian name of
pleasing sound and appropriate significance,
let the new Territory be named Lincoln, and
thus get ahead of any future Territorial Gov
ernment IN adopting the best unused histori-
cal name the country possesses Lincoln

to INSTRUMENTATION, and commentaries the

CASH And CASTE.

A week or two ago we ventured to give n
few hints to unmarried women on the most
practical and promising ways for them to earn
money. We have had many prompt and Wig
orous replies by letter and through the press.
There is apparently no subject on which
women are more wide awake than that of
earning money. But the tone of most of
these answers is despairing, and, oddly enough.
angry and resentful at our advice. In
fact, the unhappy class of unoccupied needy
women are very much in the temper of the
Frenchman who fell into the Thames. They
twill drown, and nobody shall help them" They
cry out that they want money, want 10 earn
it, and ought to be given trades and profess
sions and career like their brothers; and
with the next breath cry out as loudly that
they will lose caste if they earn it in any way
We recommended to them certain occupations
as more lucrative and practicable than teach
ing, and the gist of all the answers sent to
us is that any kind of trade or handicraft
degrades women to lower social level than
teaching, aud that even teachers are snubhed
