A TRAGEDY.

An inquest was held in Philadelphia
last week upon the body of Edward
Leonard. lie was man of genius and
wealth, the Inventor of patent fire-ex-
tinguisher and various other machines
which gave him large income. He bad
lived in fine style, maintaining several
servants. lie went to Philadelphia from
Vermont seven or eight years ago. A
dispatch says: "A visit to the home of
the dead man, No. PA South Eleventh

misery, wretchedness and squalor Stretch.

which he died lay the coffin containing
the body of the former man of fortune.
In the library adjoining, his gray-haired
wife was just recovering from the stupor
of prolonged debauch. The house was in
wrctched disorder. Strewn about the
floor and over lire bedclothes, where the
dying engineer had suffered his last de.
lirium, were the confused relics of the
$4,000 library, many of the octavos torn
and soilcd. On the mantel stood beau

A gentleman who was pelted with

the city two or three days ago, rem arked,

balled." There is great deal in this
contrast. "Young America" has very
little reverence for age or for anything
else. We have childhood and manhood.
but no boyhood. There is blank from
the cradle to the ballroom and business.
What was once toyhood is nondescript
existence now, 1t is part dress, part
cigarette, and the rest horse and general
amusement. The country boy sighs for
the city, and hates the plow or work Of
his ancestors. The city boy gets ahead
of his respectable and slow moving
father. He knows nothing about himself
or others, and SO sneers and deridcs where
he should respect and obey. The theat.
rical critic is the gallery god. The judges
of horse race OF the prize ring is the
boy of the day. He is full Of slang and
the literary expression of the beer saloon
and street Is it any wonder then that
old men are "guyed" instead Of saluted?
Middle age is too slow for the boy Of the
period 1t must get out Of the way Of
his sled or horse. The boy is not to be
blamed for all this. lie is the product Of
education. Not one parent in fifty is e.
to bring up boy, aud the problem Of
morality and politeness is not ahundantly
fred upon the attention Of school
teachers. The boy is what the home aud
school mike HIN. In our day there Is
TO much shodly in the one and not
enough sense in tn other. The product
of both is the boys Of our streets. !.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Collision Between Accomm Odution
and Excursion Trains Slight Men
Killed and Many Injured.

A Philadelphia despatch says that a col
hsion occurred Saturday morning on the Cam
den and Atlantic Railroad, between the 7
o'clock accommodation train from Atlantic
City and a special excursion train from Cam
den for Lakeside Park a short distance east
of Ashland station. Both locomotives were
entirely demolished together with the tender
and eight persons, all trainmen, were
killed. The accommodation train was COM
posed of locomotive and seven cars while
the Lakeside Park train consisted of loco
motive and two cars. The latter were
filed with women and children
and formed an excursion given under
the auspices of the Sunday school connected
with the Second Presbyterian chul III al
Camden. This train left the latter place at
$50 Saturday morning. just previous to
the departure despatch was forwarded to
the operator at Ashland station, with orders
directing the accommodation train to lay OIL
on siding at that point until after the spc-
cial excursion passed. 1t is not known
whether or not the order was received or
sent or whether the conductor and engineer
of the accommodation disregarded the order,
and kept on with their train. 1t is known,
however, that the trains came together with
terrific force on a curve about mile west of
the Ashland station

They Know How to Get Them,


BosToN, Mass, June ia mass meet
ing, called by the Independents of Massa-

ton Of Blaine and Logan, was held in this
city to-day. 1t was mostly composed of
Independents, but manys Republicans and

Seventeen Vcc-presdcnts were olo'cr,
among whom were Julius Ii. Scclye, Challcs

taking the chair said "Thcrc are states

If they do not we know how to withhold

resolutions and in a speech Offering them
made an allusion to Cleveland that we
loudly cheered.
Resolutions which were adopted Esct fort
the conviction that the country will be better
served by opposing the nomination of Blaine

for the appointment of an executive COM

convention not later than August lat. Mr..
Hallowel offered resolution declaring that
any man who accepted the nomination from
the Democratic party forfets all claim TO
Republican support. 1t was received with

The Anti-Blainc HOstOniamS.
[From the Morcester sny.l

The anti Blaine meeting in Boston will
not bear much fruit. Many of those who
took part in it will in time see tho folly of
their course and wish they had taken more
time FIR reelection before making such IL
colossal exhibition of their narrowness and
prcjudiccs. No Republican nominations
were ever more fairly made than those
of Blaine and Logon at Chicago. Had
the National conventions basis of r.prc.
scntalion been the Republican ma
jOritiCs in the several States the con
vcntion would have gone for Blaine
by an overwhelming vote on the first ball 1T.
HIS support came from strong Republican
districts every whcrc-nOt from Office hold
ers not from "machnc men," not from
cities and districts where the Republican.
are in a hopeless minority from the
most reliable Republican communities IN the
land. The nomination was Spontaneous and
enthusiastic There Is not the smallest cx-
ousc for bolt from result so fairly obtain
cd and SO truly representing the wishes Of the
Rel ubcaDs of the country. Throughout The
west the support of the ticket is h airy an
unanimous. Even ia New York such az
abe journal as the b llfilo Express, which
led the Independent movement IN favor OF
Cleveland for governor, is pronounced in
favor of Blaine and Logan against any ticket
any other party may give. i remains fl
The Democratic cities Of Boston anl N "

Wr. Rlainc's Foreign Policy,

AT the great ratification meeting In Indian.
npols Senator Benjamin Harrison made an
| eloquent speech, in the course of,whch he re.
piled to criticism of Mr.. Blaine's course
when Secretary of State in President Gar
fields Cabinet as follows.
Some tlmld People fear that Mr.. Blaine
will involve the country in war. Laugh
ter Some over-cautious business men
affect to believe that the even current of
their noney-gettihs VIII bic disturbed by the
aggressive foreign policy which they SUP
pose he would inaugurate. My fellow citi-
iZens, no one has ever accused Mr. Blaine of
being fool. He has some ideas upon for
eign affairs, and am glad Of it-they are
rare. He had begun to organize them into a
system when he laid down the portfolio of
State. Now, what sort of foreign policy did
his dispatches foreshadow7 Ono In which
this country shall play the buly1 One
in which we shall, without catse, insult or
deny just rights to any foreign government
Not at all. DO we not all desire that we
shall not be characterized by such timidity
not to lift manly protest when any
,og is done in any foreign country to the
..blcst American citizen Applause.
Ave. was it Mr.. Blaine proposed to do !?
l. Z md chiefly, he proposed TO call con-
gi..s consultation as to the mutual in
terests of the nations of the continent a
meeting of Our sister republics, not
for the purpose of aggression. Ear
from it. 1t was that we might exercise
our friendly offices in the interests of peace
and stable government among these peo-
pie, where government has been so unstable,
where the existing regimes are SO frequently
overturned as to bring prostrat')n and desc
lation to all private enterprises 1t was that
we might extend kindly hand to these
people to help them on to higher civil!za-
ton, and that we might in return enjoy
some of that great commerce which Great
Britain monopoizes to-day. We are living
near these people; they are striving to imi-
tate us in the experiment of free government,
and yet VIC ere without access or influence.
When distinguished citiIen of this State
was by President James Garfield appointed
Charge d'Atlaires at Montcvidc), in
Uruguay, in order to ct to his post OF duty,
he had to take British steamer from
New York to Liverpool and another British
steamer from Liverpool to Montevideo.
Notwithstanding VIC are here on the same
general coast there was no direct commun
cation between this country and that. 1t
has been standing sheme that our relations
TO these South American goyornments have
been such that neither We nor they havc
enjoy cd any of the benefits of good neighbor-
hood.
Mr., Blaine proposes 10 remedy this con-
fesf ID omission in our foreign policy. A
congress of these nations was the leading
feature of his brief administration of the
State Department. There was nothing to
disturb business in that policy, but much
promise of new market for our surplus.
Nobody wants war it Is last resort But
every self-rcspectng American does believe
in maintaining the proper dignity, honor
and influence of this great nation.
