Railway Disaster in California.

Latest advices from San Francisco
magnify rather than lessen the terrible
story Of wreck and ire on the South
ern Pacific Railway. 1t was hoped
that the list of victims had been over
estimated in the terror and confusion inn
mediately after the disaster, and the
story of the dead and wounded, told in
later and calmer moments, wolld be
less painful in its details. But the
sad tidings FIRST brought from Tehacb-
api are fully confirmed as to the num-
Der of the injured and killed and the
nature and extent of their terrible suf-
ferings. From the smouldering ruins
of the train twenty-one bodies had
been recovered, many of them go
burned and cbarred that they are be-
yond identification.
The accident appears to be due solely
to the culpable carlessness of those in
charge of the train and fixes the re-
sponsibility with peculiar force upon
the railway official. No excuse can be
offered such as is framed when a train
leaps from the track in passing over a
suddenly loosened rail or meets with
an unexpected obstacle washed from
the mountain side by the storms in the
Sierras. The train was deliberately
stopped on the steep accent near the
Tehachapi junction, the air brakes
were taken of, the engine was detach-
ed, while those who might have con-
trolled the cars by the hand brakes
were absent from their posts.

We cannot too strongly condemn
the idea that harmony is matter of
bargain or arrangement among the
leaders Of factions. 1t is question of
the masses and not of the managers.
1t must be 8 natural and not forced

Republicanism at its best.-Press.
Official returns still show that
wolves exist in large numbers in
France. Last year the number that
were killed by persons who received
the State awards amounted to 1925.
The amount annually voted for these
awards and for other expenses attend
ant on the State campaign against the
beasts is 10000 francs.
The California papers say that
after the recent snowstorm in that
State the unwonted luxury of snow
balling was very generally INDUCED in.
The windows of the street cars in
Stockton were riddled with snowballs,
and the cars had to be withdrawn.
The managers blamed the police for
not protecting their property when
they had always been allowed to ride
f.ee," but one of them asked: "What
could four policeman do to prevent 26,
900 people from snowballing Z"
