THE Brooklyn bridge catastrophe may
be proStably considered by the press for
some time to come. In the first place, the
alleged origin OF the atiair-the efforts of a
handful OF pick pockets to work" the null
titude under the very nose Of the finest
police" and at worse than criminal disre-
gard OF consequences-should be thor
oughly sifted. 1t is seasonable period
also to impress upon the public that nine
out of ten OF such disasters are caused by
the surrender of even the instinct of self
preservation to nameless terror, which a
moments consideration should dispel. 1t
would appear that protection to pedestri-
ans had been overlooked in the con-
struction of proper ratings etc, and that
this seeming lack of safety contributed
greatly to the panic.

LAST year there we're IL 900 miles of rail
way track laid, but the construction this
year, 1t is estimated, will not reach more
than 5000 miles. This is still representa-
tive and indicative of vast industry and de-
velopment in the railway system of the
country, but the falling of of 5000 miles OF
construction represents less expenditure
of money in the United States this year
than last. by these railway companies and
syndlcates by at least $50 100000. This re.
suit must be attributed in great part 10 the
anti-railway legislation that many of the
state legislatures have been foolish and
short sighted enough TO indulge.

upon close and accurate scrutiny OF the
field, relative to the next speakership of
the national house Of representatives, The
conclusions therein reached place RANDALL
Ia the lead, SUNSET Cox second, and any
man to beat RANDALL third. CARLISLE is
put down as the hindmost man, no. being
sure as yet Of the full support of even his
own state. II each Of these candidates,
however, come up with good strong fol-
lowing, the probabilities are that none OF
them will get the honor, an unknown from
somewhere going to the front.

SINCE the pope ordered the priests and
bishops of the Catholic church to stop en-
gazing in the political agitations conducted
here and in England by the Irish, the col
leotions in the various Catholic churches IN
this country for the Holy Father, have
fallen off at least one-third below those OF
last year. This looks as if these annual
contributions were based Oh entirely diner
ont considerations than those of religion.
