Collision.

The collision which occurred last Fri
day near Cleveland between two freight
trains was caused by one taking the
switch but not clearing the track by half
the length of locomotive and the morning
being cloudy the train on the main track
ran into it. Mr.. Fowles a son-in-law of
N. E. Marcy, had remarkable escape be-
ing caught between the fire box and boiler
Of the locomotive which he was firing in a
position that would have roasted by fire
or scalded him by the escaping steam, but
that car of wheat in bulk was broken
and spilled over him buryiug him under
it and the water escaping from the tender
completely saturated the wheat forming a
perfect protection He was taken out con-
siderably bruised but without serious in
juries and will be on duty again in few
days.

The Scott Law and the Amendments.
An Abstract of a Paper Read Before the
w. G. 7. U. of Wellington by Mrs. Aura
Perkins.

Our political doctors tell US that the Scott
Law is as radical a temperance measure as
the sentiment of the people demand, and
that it will alleviate many of the evils from
which we suffer; that we are not prepared
for prohibition; that the Local Option fea-
ture gives power to prohibit in incorpora-
ted towns and villages where the people
desire it, and the force Of example would
be a powerful educator on other points
holding less advanced views on this ques-
tion. 1t seems to be forgotten that the
man living outside corporation has no
voice or vote on this question, and the
country is powerless to prevent liquor deal
ers from opening their shops al every vii
lage or cross roads outside the corporation
lines. Up to this time this law seems to
have done very little good, and the chances
of our people availing themselves of it are
unpromising.
The Scott Law must be considered acom-
promise at best, and if ever excusable on
the ground of expediency, should not be
tolerated when people are evidently ripe
for more radical measures. The crisis is
now upou us; you hear the sullen soar of
the impending waters; you see women
with their children going up on higher
ground; the men are leaving the valley.
Let us cling to the old timbers no longer.
The objection that the Second Amend
ment cannot be enforced if adopted is un-
satisfactory. We have faith that it can,
and if the men by their votes will give it
to US, the ladies will help them to inforce it
with all the influence and moral power
they can command. They have rendered
efficient service in wars and financial diff
culties which have been gratefully ac-
knowledged. Give them a chance in this
greater battle on which more than the fate
of the nation depends. The skill and thor
oughness with which this campaign has
been organized and worked compels even
the admiration of experienced politicians.
The women have enlisted for thirty years,
or during the war, and victory will be theirs
as sure as right triumphs over wrong. Hthis
movement fails temporarily (it cannot final
ly)we shall have the Constitution as it is,
with all the advantages the Scott Law con-
fers; but on the other hand, if the second
proposition prevails it will prove what
many believe: that the time is fully ripe
for the prohibition of this deadly traffic.
1t would seem unnecessary to write words
on the First Amendment. All agree that
that means license, which none but the
liquor dealers desire. ---..--~
Dear sisters, we are pleading with men
through your influence, and thousands and
thousands of women are pleading all un-
heard. The air is permeated with the in
.fiuence of the supplications that go from
the closets and homes and rooms where we
meet to devise and discuss our plans.
Heaven is interested in our behalf, and we
have an abiding faith that victory will
crown our efforts. ~

Fire.

An alarm of fire last Saturday about 9 p.
m. from three different points by telephone
announced successfully the glass factory,
W. r. Santley's mill and barn as being on
fire, and at first 1t was feared that all three
were burning. 1t proved TO be the barn
only and the loss was slight, it being old
and nearly empty. The Fire Department
was promptly on hand, but too late to
save the barn which burned like tinder.
But for their efforts the mill would also
have burned, it having taken fire in two
or three places. We are glad to announce
that the citizens present responded prompt
ly to the call of the chief for assistance in
working the engine. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but we venture to guess
that it came from the everlasting pipe or
cigar.

Considerable commotlon has been
caused among the colored people by a
recent decision of the United States su-
preme court in the civil rights cases. Its
effect is simply to confne the appIica-
ton of the act of congress of March l,
1875, TO the equal rights of ali citizens
in every state in regard to contracts, to
the holding and conveyance OF property,
to proceedings in courts, to personal
protection, and to holding Office. In
other words. the act cannot be con-
strued as securing to any citizen any So
cial privileges to which his position
among his fellows does not entitle him.
The unconstitutionality Of the portions
of the act relating to social privileges
has long been affirmed by the best law
yers, and the decision of the court will
not change things very much. Compar-
atively few negroes, even in the first
enjoyment of their freedom, become
more disagreeable than many white PEG.
pie unable to understand their prope,
social position. The negroes in many
states are enough to have
caused great trouble by insisting upon
their rights under the law of 1875. Their
failure to do this encourages the BELIEF
that the proper relations between the
two races will adjust themselves from
time to time without legislation.

The West has drawn the young blood
from many localities in the New Eng
land states. The condition of sections
of Vermont, as described by the Rut-
land Herald, will apply with equal truth
to portions of Maine, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts. The Herald says:
''There are many deserted farms and
decayed towns in southern Vermont; at
least, that is the testimony given US by
an intelligent farm-bred lawyer who re-
Gently personally visited the towns that

land there are many deserted farms
and decayed towns along both sides O
the mountain range, and these deserted
farms are not being r%eoccupied by any
returning wanderer, although most o
the towns are places of much natura
beauty and attractiveness. The Herald
might have stated that farmsare for sal,
in most of the New England states at 70
less prices than the cost of houses, barn
and other buildings upon them. not t
mention stone walls, etc. Whether tn
situation in the localities will ever chang
for the better is a matter for conjee

There is u passion tor office in Eng
land, as in the United States, and the
crowd of applicants Is constantly in
creasing II England. The British civil
service commissioners report for the
past year states that they have exam
ined 36 .400 applicants, as against 24,243
in the previous twelve months. Only
$3.50 have obtained certificates, which is
$50 less than in 1881. Candidates enough
passed the examination to supply our
men for every vacancy. Moreover, the
glnL OF candidates wa most marked in
the examinations where a mere smatter
of learning suffices, and where the pay
obtainable is presposterously low. 1t is
therefore demonstrated that. appoint
ings under civil service rules increases
rather than diminishes the rage for of
fee. 1t is so in England where civil
service rules have been in operation for
some years; and probably will be the
same in the United States, as soon as
the requirements for office come to be
better understood.

Patrick Y Dounell, now in custody,
charged with the murder of James
Carey (the informer at the trial of the
Phoenix Park murderers) on board a
British vessel at sea on July Goth, is
about forty. eight years of age, and is a
native of Derrybeg in Donegal, Ireland.
He lived in America from 1850 to 1879,
served in the federal army during the
civil war, and afterwards kept a small
public house on the Canadian frontier.
He is also said to have lived in Philadel-
phia and to have left a wife there. On
his departure from the Cape at mid
summer a girl whom he had metin
Londonderry accompanied him, and
was with him on board the Melrose
when he committed his crime. 1t is
claimed that O'Donnell did not know
Carey before he started for the cape; he
was regarded generally as a quiet and
sober man.
