WRECKS IN WASHINGTON.
The Sad Downfall of Men OF influence.
[From the Philadelphia Press. !

From the Philadelphia Press.
The streets OF Washington are lined
with old battered wrecks that the waves
and winds Of politics have cast ashore
from time to time. A young man with
ability and ambition, but with no money.

of social and political prominence. lido
not care whether he comes to the Senate
whether he is at the head of a bureau
an officer Of Congress or even depart
ment clerk. The life is gay and easy.
and most inviting and seductive. Money
comes easy. He forgets to look at it for
what it is worth, and is gradually drawn
into the thoughtless, selfish life and habits
by which he is surrounded. He does
not study, he does not improve, but year
by year becomes less fitted for self-sup-
port. He loses his energy, if he ever
had any. He loses his ambition. B11t
there comes a flood and he is swept
from his moorings. The party has
changed, or his political 'infuence" has
changed, and he finds himself with the
same idle habits, but without a salary.
He cannot or will not go back to his old
home and begin anew, but he STAYS
here, and year by year hopes to get back
into Office. How he lives in the mean
time heaven only knows. There are
honorable exceptions, but they only
serve to establish the rule. Some of the

ri lie accident occurred on the Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburg Rail
road, at Carlyon station, at $3.50
O'Clock last evening, by which nine
teen persons were killed and thirty
wounded. The train, double
header, was an excursion train,
bound for Clayton with Thousand
islands tourists, mostly from Michi-
gan. 1t was behind time, and at
the time of the collision was RAINING
at the rate of 40 miles an hour. The
wind was blowing gale and had
blown a freight car off side track
and partly on to the main track,
when the excursion train came thun-
dering along and collided with it,
throwing one of the engines on it's
end and tue other into a ditch. The
baggage car and two sleepers were
completely demolished and the cars
were piled up on one another until il
was one vast heap of ruins. At tho
time a heavy thunder-shower was
passing over, the night was dark
and the cries and shrieks of the
dying and wounded were terrible

OUR FUTURE.

Many years ago Sir Stamford Raf-
fes founded the free port OF Singa-
pore on hitherto unproductiev
island, By his judicious policy
added to its natural advantages of
position it has grown to be one of
the weathiest and most important
ports IN the East. We, in Hawaii,
have as great natural advantages as
Singapore, if not greater. The only
thing wanting is the judicious policy
of Sir Stamford Raffles. We are
here in the middle of the broad
Pacitic right in the track of the ever
increasing trade between America
and Australia. We have every op-
portunity of becoming the depot of
trade between the coast and Japan,
China, and Manila. 1t is in our
hands to become great COM
merclal entrepot TOT all traue
crossing the Pacific if we only exert
ourselves. When the Panama Ca
nal is opened judicious management
will make us q way-station if not a

December is very near at hand
and with it comes session of Con-
gress. That session will probably
decide the fate of our treaty. We
can hardly do anything more than
has been done 10 secure its contin-
uance. Every eXertion has been
made 10y all parties. All we can do
is to keep up our exertions and not
to let them slacken.
Yet, it may happen that we shall
lose the treaty. What sort of a
position shall we be in then? What
resources have we to fall back on!
We have already pointed out the
possibility of new market in Japan
for our sugars. Why shouldn't we
have. something else besides sugar,
and rice to sell? Where are the
wonderful amounts of tibres of
which so many specimens were sent
to the Paris, and London exhibi-
tions and received such notice from
commercial magnates there? Where
is our fruit export? 1t seems to us
that we need not despair if the
worst comes to the worst, and if one
resource fails us, fall back on
another.

Accidentally Shot.

LINCOLN Murphy, whose parents re-
side near billiard, while out hunting in
the meShta1ns between the headwaters
of Olalla and Cow creek, was accident
ally shot by his brother. lad Of four
teen or fifteen years of age.
A party consisting of w. W. Wal
ker, VIM. McBee sr. and the Murphy
boys were out hunting near the scene
Of the accident. The younger of the
bows wounded deer short distance
from their camp early Sunday morn
ing, and came to the camp ard wanted
some Of the party to go out and help
him get it. None of them volunteer
ing to so he started to go by himself,
when his brother started in different
direction. A short time afterwards Mr.
Walker and NicBee heard the report Of
q gun and went in the direction of the
report. They had not gone far when
they heard the younger of the boys
crying that he had shot his brother.
They went to the scene and found that
the deceased had been shot in the back
of the head and instantly killed.
Deceased was eighteen or twenty
years of age.
The party brought the remains to
David Thompson's on \ Monday, and
they were buried in the cemetery near
Billiards on Tuesday, The probabilities
are that the brother mistook deceased
for deer, and the sad event adds an
other victim to the careless use Of fire
arms by thoughtless boys.
