The Senate has placed books and printed
matter on the free list. Why not? Men
should have the privilege of securing the
printed products Of the best minds of the
world at the lowest possible figure. Any
protective tax will fail to place ability
here on an equality with ability there. If
there is equality of talent, it Is not, and
never can be due to tariff. A tariff on
books is tax on knowledge aud nothing
else, and all taxes on intelligence are to
the disadvantage of the poor man, aud

little else than catalogues of peculiari-
ties, selected from varied sources, and
fastened upon one impossible individu-
atty. A bit of real flesh and blood,
that speaks the language of everyday

ton, which appears to be running to

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

"A Car Containing Sixty-ff Persons Hurled
Over an Embankment-AM of them In.
jured, but None Killed-Fears that Some
May Die, However.
WORCESTER, MASS, Nov. 28.
The rear car Of crowded passenger
train on the Boston, Barre and Gardner
Railroad was thrown from the track just as
the train was drawing away from North
Worcester Station, at 2:15 this AFTERNOON,
land hurled with terrific force down steep
embankment, fully twenty-five feet high.
They were sixty five passengers in the car.
hnd not one of them escaped injury. The
car turned wholly over once and then half
over again in its descent, aud finally rested
on it's side at an angle of forty-five degrees.
1t was badly broken up in the fall. The
seats were all wrenched from their places
and thrown in heap, and the passengers
were mixed up with the broken iron and
timber in almost inextricable confusion.
The woodwork of the car caught fire from
the stove in the forward part, and the hor-
ror of being burned to death confronted the
wounded passengers. But assistance was
prompt, and the flames were speedily ex-
tinguished.
Some few of the passengers extricated
themselves from the wreck, and with the
occupants Of the other two cars, which re-
mained on the track, set to work,
and helped their suffering companions.
THE anguished cries of bruised and bleed
ing men, women and children made the
scene terrible one. Tenderly and care
fully the injured ones were taken out and
laid on the grass by the side of the track.
1T was found that by miracle none were
Killed, but several were apparently dying.
Physicians were summoned from Worces-
cester, and Doctors Bates, Marble, Davis,
