It is charged against Texas that she
must be rudeand semi-barbarous state,
or else she would not have the highest
offices in her gift filled by such men as
represent her both at home and il
Washington. This charge can be easily
disposed Of by merely stating what
everybody who lives here knows to be
true: That our people as a general thing
are closely occupied in attending to their
own affairs; and that in consequence
they suffer men of little culture, of
indifferent morals, but of great self
assertion to procure themselves to be
elected. There is no denying that

CARELESSNESS, THAT IS NOT
CARELESSNESS

The recent heart-rending series Of
railroad disasters has added confirma-
ton to our previous conclusion that the
average railroad employees and attaches
are the most careless men in existence.
Such an assertion, while true, when an
alyqed partakes of the nature of a para
dox. Intimate and daily association
with danger and disaster should render
this class of men careful to the highest
degree But the reverse is true
TO an alarming extent. In many
instances after life time experience,
the carelessness or negligence of one
man results in the destruction of
! dozens of his fellows. By the misplacing
of switch, the neglect or delay of a
signal hundreds are MANNED and many
hurled, in the twinkling of an eye,
almost unbidden into the presence
OF the Judge of all. An investiga-
ton into the late Spuyten Duyvil
tragedy developes, that the failure
of train attache to make
the proper signal to an advancing ex-
press eliminated in the most horrible
accident on record. Could this accident
have been avoided? &? The New York
grand jury think that it could and have
indicted the managers of the road. The
destinies of hundreds hung on the in
Simultaneous and exact promptness of
one man; not for day was this case,
but it was a regular custom of the road,
and the duty at last so poorly per-
formed had regularly devolved upon
the one attache. Any tardiness on
the part Of, or accident to
that attache could result in only one
thing and that thing the consequence OF
the disaster mentioned. In McLennan
county the particulars of tragedy con-
summated less than one hundred hours
ago, are being told and retold, and the
consequences lamented and bewailed.
A whole family, father, mother and
child, and trusted officer of the Gould
system of roads, mangled and ushered
from a robust life to miserable death.
Were the deceased ignorant that they
were running a risk and that every rev.
oiution of the car-wheels brought them
nearer to the jaws of death? They
neither courted nor expected death, but
they knew of the approach of the heavily
loaded freight and if they had not cal
culated the chances and the risk, it was
not because their relations with the
road and familiarity with the dangers
incident to such an experiment did not
furnish the opportunity. It is a care
Iessness, not the result OF negligence
nor yet indifference, but the most
insidious of all, that which is engendersd
by association with the implements of
destruction and habitual danger.
