and Train Master Carlisle. When the
last morning passenger train had passed,
and there was a certainty of no inter-
ruption for several hours at the bridge,
the platform cars, containing derrlcks
and other necessary machinery, were run
out to the draw and work begun. The
water at the draw was about twelve feet
deep, and the top of the cab and smoke
stack were the only paris OF the locomc-
tive visible. The stack, cab and other
light work were all carefully removed,
which took some time. The wheels and
trucks were also removed, and opera
lions ON raising the body of the engine
were suspended until favorable oppor-
tunity should present. During the pro
gress of the work as each train ap-
proaches, the wreck train is run of to a
siding near the bridge, and the draw
made secure for the passage of cars.

ASSASSINATION NEVER JUSTIFI-
ABLE,

1t is an iLcalculable calamity to the
cause of Irish Home Rule, thata of its
defenders should adopt the Internal
tactics, that can only find a shadow of
justification in the utter helplessness of
the wretched Russians, who first invented
and used them. A "dynamite war; in
such a country as England is war
against civilization, and is sure, if prose.
cuted, to bring its direst curses and ca
lamities on the cause in whose interests
it is waged. Will any free, humane and
intelligent people, allow a few monsters,
or crazy zealots to take society back to
the period of savagery? Every honest,
intelligent and manly Englishman will
fight, if necessary, to the death, to pre-
serve the peace and security that have
been the heritage of his land. Assassi-
nation can never become the means of
delivering Ireland from misgovernment.
No amount of oppression can justify
dynamite war. Great and deep as has
been the sympathy of the Americans for
the sufterings and wrongs of the Irish,
yet American sentiment will never toll
crate the theory, that assassination is
either war, Or political offense.
The attempt to :sii the cause of our
own rebellion by the yellow fever and
other devilish plots for stealthy murder
was revolving to the mass of the Confed-
crates and only fired the Northern peo-
pie to more desperate resolve. Had
not the Southern soldiers felt that not
only their farms and plantations and
stores, but their wives and children,
were secure under the care of their slaves
all the CONSUMPTION laws in the world
could not have kept single great Con-
tederate army in the field after the war
had gone on for a year. 1t was the sub
FINEST and most touching feature of cur
terrible struggle. 1t softened the hearts
of the most violent Confederates. 1t
demonstrated that the negroes were, in
some aspects, more civilized according to
any Christian theory than their masters.
1t made all future resistance to the free
dom and full citizenship of our cclored
men impossible and made it possible that
the two races should live and prosper, in
peace and with good will, side by side.
In country whose bottom strata have
thus been pt rmeated with the doctrines
of Christian civilization, it is simply
impossible that assassination should be
regarded either as war or as a political

aside from this, there is a wonderfully
large movement of people from many

THE tremendous majority for Harrison
in Chicago, and the accounts Of the orgies
that took place there, have put brand
upon that city from which it will not
soon recover. 1t is reported that all the
saloons were open, that as many men as
could be made so were drunk, and that
several murders were committed, not to
mention ordinary street brawls and fights
1t was stated by Chicago man that last
year more murders were committed in
Chicago than in the whole of Great Brit.
ain. From the manner in which Har-
rison's third term begins. it seems likely
that this record will be beaten in the
mex two years. 1t remains to be seen
whether the decent people of the city
will wait two years and make a supreme
effort to unload the gang of thieves, sand
baggers and gamblers that rule the city,
or move away ard leave the modern
Sodom to its destruction.
