shirlcd and cvaded, public indignation will be
1FR1JD or ITSELF.

1t is n melancholy evidence Of Democratic de-
moalization that the worst alarm yet caused
among the great Rcformcrs ut Washington
is due 10 the report that the Republicans are
actually going to leave the Democratic members
of the House TO act for aud by themselves on
the tariff question until it comes to a final vote
The reported plan is to allow the bill to come
mp for discussion, to join in general debate, and
then 60 abstain from voting on any amend
ment,, thus compelling the Democrats to decide
by their own votes, without any assistance
what sort OF tariff they really want to pass ii
they can. After they have wrangled and voted,
aud a majority OF them have fixed the bill rs
they like, the Republicans viii then, ii is said,
vote 10 kill It.
Democratic alarm over this report is amusing.
II is no news that the Democratic party has eS-
pecial reason to be afraid of itself. But one
would hardly suppose that Democratic members
would be ready to acknowledge the fact. APP
pareittly they dread each other more than any
other ioc, and feel that the country would be
altogether and utterly unsafe if left to Demo-
cratic charge.
The scheme has one objection, however. The
Republican members of the House are not
merely partisans, but legislators, charged wltha
grave public duty. They cannot permit use
less debate to disorder trade and industry, pro-
vidcd they have power to prevent it, without
becoming in part responsible for the baleful
consequences. The true policy is to oppose at
every step any proposition to tinker at the
tariff and unsettlc industry, so sOOnattcr care
full revision of the tariff has been made. With
the aid of the anti Morrison Democrats they
ought to be able t. prevent It.

THE loss Of me DAEiEL STEINHANN

THE loss Of me DANIEL NTEINgANN,
The wreck of the steamer Daniel Stein
mann Is so complete Il disaster that it
is scarcely possible to obtain further in
formation concerning it than the facts
themselves convey. 1t appears that the
the captain did exercise some precautions. He
reduced the speed Of the vessel to dead slow
and he made use of the lead Had he known
where he WAS these precautions might have
been efiectual, but in the absence of obserya-
tions owing to thick weather he had nothing
but dead reckoning to 90 by, and a severe
storm and heavy sea rendered that method
moro prccaIious and uncertain than usual.
Taking all the known facts into consideration II
appears most probable that the captains main
error was one OF Judgment knowing the IN
tricate and dangerous character of the naNiga-
ton in approaching Halifax, and not being at
all certain rs to his position, he ought not to
have attempted TO enter the harbor. The only
possible explanation of his action which VIII ac-
quit him of culpable ashucss lies IN the sup
position that ne was 50 confused by the thick
weather as to make retreat is hazardous rs
progress. Nor does such theory necessarily
impcach his scamnshp. When commander
las been unable to obtain observations tor
forty eight hours during all that time has been
exposed to a heavy gale, complicated with
strong coast currents and foggy weather, and
is, moreover, in waters where the lead does
not give timely warning of shoals, he may be
good seaman and yet lose his bearings and
become confused.
1t is stated that he had been two days and
nights on the bridge The statements as TO
what occurred after the vessel struck are CON
flicting. but it may be inferred from some of
them that the captain hied TO get the boats
over. and that the steamer sank so rapidly as to
: frusrate this cndcavOr. 1t is an appalling dis
aStcr, but the terrible loss Of life should not in
fuence criticism upon the captain, Judgment
being duly placed. upon a candid analysis OF the
facts. The notorious dangers of the entrance
to Halifax harbor must be sufficiently
weighed, together with all the circumstances
which combined to prevent him from ascertain
ing his true position.
There need be less hesitation in c1ticisIng the
Canadian Government for neglcctng TO station
a life boat at Sambro Island for it is clear that
in locality which has become a terror to
mariners from its frequent disasters every
possible ife-savinS appliance ought TO have
been available. Probably now that this negli
gence has been emphasized by the loss of ninety
lives the omission will be supplied.
