Recent Great Losses Of Human Lie.
/ The great destruction of human life by
I the Milwaukee hotel fire, the drowning of
nearly four hundred persons by the COLI
sion of the Cimbria and Sultan in the Ger
man Ocean. the California train accident,
burning to death a score or more of peo-
! pie, and several minor calamities of SINH
lar character in various parts Of the Uni
/ ted States, seem to have put the press to
| thinking on the low estimate now placed
/ on human life, and many of the large dali
/ lies are devOting much space to the dis
| cussion of the subject-canvassing the
/ construction and management of ships,
/ railroad cars and hotels, and severely cen
surfing the adherence to old plans of con-
| structiOn and management, so dangerous
to human life, in the face of improve
/ ments well calculated to avoid such
/ dangers.
| 1t strikes us that such catastrOphes
are no new thing in Western civilization
and progress. and, in the light that in
| difference to human life is barbaric in
humanity, not very creditable to said
/ civilization; but as a scientific, inventive,
pushing and progressive age, as well as
one of immigration and mighty increase of
/ population, without wars sufficient to get
| rid of the surplus as of old, it remains
| faithful to precedent that mans provisions
/ of safety on the one hand will be counter
acted by his dangerous Inconsistencies on
/ the other. We would like very much to
see a notable reformation in this respect,
but have very little hope of it while the
| incentives remain the same for the sudden
acquisition of fortune, which seems to lie
ut the root of the evils. OF course, large
number of those engaged in all industries
and enterprises will be penny
wise and pOund-fOOlish, neglecting
| advantages that might save
| life and property because the old way had
not yet met with disaster, and employing
cheap labor and materials because they
paid better while they lasted; but such
have always existed and always will
exist until cupidity and jealousy are
eradicated from the human breast, and
as nearly two thousand years preaching
of the Gospel has not been able to enforce
the golden rule" to any considerable eX-
tent, even in the midst of advanced civil
lizatiOn, there can be no reasonable eX-
pectatiOn of any very speedy amendment.
1t does seem, however, that intelligent
enterprise, even if void of that human
sympathy which leads to consideration
for the rights and welfare of others, would
better protect its profits, than to engage in
the transparent folly of employing hap
hazard ignorance, indifference and in
justice to construct permanent fortune.
1t is only good and faithful work that pays
in the long run, no matter what may be
thought of its seeming want of push and
hurry by those who move at break-neck
speed to catch the ''early wOrm,' and the
sooner this fact is recognized in all in
dustries and emplOyments the better it
will be for those who take the risk of in
yestment.

Serving Timely Notice.

1.-The Republican party must win in
1884, says the Washington organ of the
stalwart administration. That has been
the policy of the Republican managers for
a long time. Like the boy who was dig
ging at an old, abandoned wOodchuck
hole. they must succeed or they will be
''Out of meat" 1t was this policy that in
spired the theft of the Presidency in 1876
and the purchase of it in 1880. VIII theft,
purchase or some other plan be tried TO
meet the must in 1884?
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1883-01-26

In the '.broad and liberal" call of the
Republican party foc a national cOnven-
ton. Mr.. Chambers resolution specifies,
among other qualifications Of those who
are invited to cooperate with them, all
who are in favor of protecting and ex-
tending home industries" of course,
this refers to the preservation of the pro-
tective tariff system, and shows that not
withstanding their crushing defeat, as
Mr.. Kasson believes, on this issue last
fall. leading Republicans see no hope for
the future of the party, save in possible
concentrated effort Of the protectiOnists in
the next Presidential campaign, aided by
all the malcontents they can deceive with
such terms as ''dignifying labor, extend
ING industries, a free ballot and a fair
COUNT etc.-the same old deception of
former campaigns.

Severe. Yet DrolI.

There is no use in blinking the fact that
the Republican party is in position OF
extreme peril on the tariff issue. The
timid action of the Republicans in Con-
gressional caucus shows that they are
conscious of the danger. They know, on
the one side, that the people demand re-
lief from war taxation, and a thorough
revision and scaling down of the tariff.
On the other hand, they fear the power OF
the organized and Opulent manufacturers,
who, under the tariff, blackmall the pub
lie and threaten political death to the
politicians or the party which interferes
with their monopoly. Between these
contending forces the Republicans in Con-
gress falter and hesitate. We look TO
Arthur to give them courage to march
ahead.

President Arthur did a good thing in
featuring the Senate and entering his pro-
test against the increasing tendency TO
cumber national legislation with personal

ministered, and if it is not, that is a ques-
ton legitimately demanding the attention
of Congress

We are beginning to think, from the
manevering of Congressman on the tariff
question, that the people need expect no
substantial reform in that direction until
tariff reform has been made distinct
issue at home, and Congressman elected
TO carry it out. Selfishness and rapacity
rule the hour at the capital, and few men
fall under their influence and escape with
clean hands and an upright conscience.
The temptations held out in the glitter and
glare of a great capital, the enormous re-
sources of the country and the unscrupu-
lOus uses made of its fabulous wealth to
control the government, are too much for
the average Congressman, especially if he
finds himself uninstTucted and unbound
by constituent sentiment.
