The punishment of train wreckers
cannot be too severe. One of these
fiends attempted to wreck a train at
Providence on Saturday evening. He
placed sleeper on the track of the
Wooster hourly, but it was discov-
cred by freight train on another
track, and the danger signal was CIV
en-. The train struck the obstruc-
ton, but not with sufficient force to
cause serious damage.

THE LONDON EXPLOSIONS.

The explosions on the underground
railroad have naturally caused wide
spread apprehension in London. One
occurred near the Praed street station
not far from the Great Western de-
pot. This was in the northwestern
quarter of the city beyond Hyde Park.
The second explosion occurred be-
tween Charing Cross and the West
minister station, near the houses of
Parliament. These stations are at
opposite points in the long circuit
which the underground railroad makes
from Westminster bridge to Maryle-
bone, passing thence to Kings Cross
station on the east and thence south
towards the Thames. The fact that
these explosions occurred almost
simultaneously at points so far re-
moved from each other seems to pre-
clude the theory of accidental origin.
At Prael street passing train filled
with passengers trundled over the ex
plosive material and two cars were
shattered, number of persons being
seriously injured. At Charing Cross
no train was passing at the time, but
the walls of the tunnel were battered
and the windows of the station were
blown out. The experts have not
concluded their investigations, but
are apparently convinced that a small
quantity of very powerful explo-
sive, such as gun cotton, was used in
each instance.
In sermon in Providence, r. l.,
Bishop HendIicken (Roman Catholic)
criticised the educational system of
this country. He said that there is
a general desire to escape work,
which is encouraged by popular edu-
cation. If there is anything that
ought to make the American people
think, it is the fact that when we
want good painter, sculptor or ar
tisan, we must &C to Italy or Germa-
ny to get one. The Providence Press
admits that these charges are in a
measure true. Americans, il
says, ''as general thing cannot
spare the time to learn a trade thor.
onghly. An apprenticeship of even
three years seems like an age tc
them, and many of them, at the enc
of one year, leave their masters anC
go to other places as journeymen.'
Want of thoroughness is nationa
vice. We do things in haste, ane
are impatient of delay. Our chill
dren are taught to get their living
by their wits, not by their hands, ant
the result is that manual labor i
left to foreigners, while Americans
want to boss the job; to oversee t.
direct, not to do. Our public schoo
system is largely responsible for this
and needs to be Overhauled.

There has at last been signed a
treaty of peace between Chill and
Peru. This ends memorable
struggle that must necessarily have
permanent effect on the future histo-
ny of the Spanish American coun-
tries. For more than four years this
war has continued. 1t began in a
dispute about boundary line be-
tween Chill and Bolivia, and Peru
was brought into the conflict by the
obligation of a secret treaty of mutu-
al support and alliance. She has
paid for her honorable adhesion to
her compact by deep and ruinous de-
feat and humiliation.

On Wednesday, at the annual meeting OF
the National Civil Service Reform League, at
Newport, l shall say that President whose
accession by means of most tragical event
was generally regarded as serious misfor-

all apprehension, but his pacific and temper

approval of the country. ,.

In my opinion President Arthur mas
proved himself to be a safe man in the ad-
ministration of government, prudent IN COUP

in the selection of men for office, with re-
markable capacity for silence, and yet frank
when he speaks / can hardly imagine now
he could have done better, in the very try

ministration. / think that history will ac-
credit his term of Office, if not with brilliant

President Arthur was called to tie office
under circumstances the most adverse possi-
BILE. Each administrative act was to be COM
pared with that of an ideal administration
The people said "Be ye also perfect, even
as our sainted President would have been
had he lived" And yet, measured by this
standard, Mr.. Arthur has commended him
self and his administration to the whole
country. What more can be said?

THE ORIGINAL GARFIELD MAN.
President Arthur's administration has been,
as rule. wise and statesmanlike He evil
IDENTIFY appreciates the responsibility and dig
nifty of his high position, and is now honest
ly trying to discharge the duties in such
manner as to bring honor to the nation and
to himself He has grown rapidly in the

who less than year ago would have secuted
the idea of giving him a denomination now
look with positive favor upon such propo-
sition.

/ am glad to express the opinion that Pres

confidence and love of the people of Ohio by
his wise and patriotic administration. With
a due regard for the wishes and engagements
Of his illustrious predecess or, which he car
ried out with becoming fidelity, so far as
practicable, he has challenged the confidence

whose garments attract so little attention
that his acquaintance do not remember,
after meeting him, what the color or the
style of his garments, he being so we'll
dressed as to be beyond criticism. President
Arthurs administration leaves that impress
sion on the minds of thoughtful men. 1t
has been Republican administration, of
course, as we had right to expect. 1t has
been National administration, and gener-
ally each department of the public service
has given evidence of a hearty desire on his
part to satisfy reasonable men of all factions
and parties. In the Western Reserve Mr..
Arthur is personally popular and his man
agement believed to be fortunate for the Re-

EDITOR BICKHAM, OF DAYTON.
Our people are united in the sentiment
concerning President Arthur and his admin
istration. "Well done, thou good and faith
full servant" He has served his party best
by serving his country best. He stands four
square on the platform upon which the Re-
publican party planted him with the illus
trious Garfield, and we rejoice that he has
risen superior to faction.

EX-CONGRESsMAN BUTTERWORTH.
President Arthur's administration has fully
met all the reasonable and just demands of
the country His course has been character
lied by patriotism, wisdom, and rare discre-
ton, coupled with perfect candor. Few
public men have grown, and deservedly so,
as rapidly in the confidence of the people as
President Arthur.

President Arthur has agreeably disap-
pointed great many people who opposed
his nomination, myself among the number.
A. W. CAMPBELL.
RICHARD SMITH, OF CINCINNATI.
The experience of this country with Vice
Presidents who succeed to the Presidency
had been so unfavorable that General Arthur
assumed the Office with the prejudices of the
people largely against him. His position,
therefore was most embarrassing one, but
he has conducted himself so admirably that
his administration is now approved very gen.
orally, and this, in view Of the circumstances
to which / have referred, is more to his
credit and in stronger proof Of his efficiency
than if he had been elected by the people to
the first place instead of the second. In
saying that the administration of President
Arthur is deserving of general approval,
feel that I express the opinion of Ohio Re-
publicans generally, and of fair-minded
Democrats also.
RICHARD SMITH.
FROM MURAT HALSEAD.
In national affairs, the fact that President
Arthur has pursued a moderate, prudent and
conservative, and therefore conciliatory
course, asserting his own sense of dignity
and personal Obligation declining to be the
servant of any part of the party; refusing
to carry out the policy of revenge urged by
some who were very near to him-growlng
up to his place-has had wholesome in
fuence throughout the country, and has
given Republicans heart and hope and the
impulse to put aside non essentials and unite
for the common cause.
We do not care whether President Arthur
is or is not candidate for a second term.
He has right to be candidate, and if he
commends himself to the people by an ex-
cellent administration it is a style of elec-
pioneering we approve. His quiet demeanor
and steady perseverance in the straight line
of duty, following the Republican disasters
Of last year, which would have intimidated
and irritated small man, have been cor
daily appreciated by the people; and what
ever may be faulty in the past or future, it
is fair to say that the President has earned
and enjoys now the respect of his country
men.

HAMILTON COLLEGE.
The administration of President Arthur
seems to have been conducted with remark
able prudence and wisdom, not for party
ends, but for the welfare of the whole nation
That the administration in every department
should have been so clearly marked by a
policy at once firm and conciliatory in the
interest Of order and justice, of economy and
integrity, seems clearly to indicate an intel
ligent, well-de6ned, and thoroughly patriotic
purpose. 1t would be difficult to name a

must speak for itself, but "the past is at least

The present National administration is

not of particular wing or faction. Repub-
