1t would seem that accidents on the W..
Md. railroad have strong affinity for each
other they bunch themselves. During last
week an unusual fatality seemed to have
overtakcn the trains and five engines were
disabled, but fortunately no lives were lost.
The facts are, that the business done by the
road, the trains thereby ncccssitated and the
failure of some of its feeders to maintain the
schedule make it an llcrculean task TO sue
cessfully manipulate all on single track. A
double track as far west as the eastern foot
of the mountain, Mechancslown. would be
no more than the present traffic of the road
demands

Much HAS been claimed by the friends OF
Mr. Blaine On account of his brilliant mind.
Sound Judgment is the prerequisite for a
successiul administration. and to deal with
matters of magnitude and affairs of State
without il were either TO give to the coun-
try weak or all unfortunate government.
And again. Mr.. Baine's friends excuse his
eccentricilies on account of his ambition.
1t was ambition to be Infamous that inspir-
ed the wretch who fired the Ephesian dome;
it was ambition to he notorious that made
the cleaning blade of Ravaillac so fatal TO
Henry of Navarro it was ambition to be
cruel that caused Alexander the Great to
strike soldier dead who praised his father.
With Blaine's brilliancy of mind without
Judgment, his ambition without restraint, he
would give the country notoriety without
fame, a shadow without substance, glitter
ing display without good material results.
As Mr.. Blaine is the idol of his party, so
must he suffer the fate of idolatry, and
his place be filed by statesman, who shall
have equity for the people, wisdom for the
nation, and patriotism for the whole coun-

The history Of the Wall.street Rank, the
failure of which was announced yesterday,
was peculiar one. 1t was organized about
two years ago by Wallstreet men during
the agitation regarding the establishment of
stock clearing house, succeeding an old
bank, with capital of 100000. The or
ganizers proposed doing the clearing for the
street, but the scheme fell through and thu
institution became purely brokers' bank.
1t has often been regarded with suspicion,
but having weathered the late storm had
come to be regarded as practically safe.
During the furry it asked for no accommo-
dation at the clearing house, and its officers
frequently made boast of its strength

MAYOR VAUGHN, of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
predicts that his State will gofor Cleveland
and says: "There has been no indication
Of any Irishmen voting for Blaine, except
those who have always been radical repuo-
licans-in short, the Orapgemen of Iowa"
Nobody who has any respect for Irishmen
ever did believe the republican talk about
democratic Irishmen voting for Blaine,
whether Catholics or Orangemen, for to
have credited that assertion would have
heen AN imputation upon either their good
sense or their political integrity.

CLEVELAND DEFENDING THE IRIsH.-
Among the delegates to the national demo.
cratic convention few weeks ago was Cap
tain O'Donahue, Of New York, a member of
the Legislature of that State. He was al old
acquaintance Of Congressman Finerty, and
sought 10 revive old time memories by hunt
ing up the representative Of the Second
Illinois district. He found him one evening
at the rooms Of the Irish. American Club in
company with VIM. Fogarty, II. =. O'Con-
nor, Michael Kelly, John De Way and Mr.
Kennedy, mutual friend, formerly a resi-
dent of New York, but now. living in
Chicago.
"Do you recollect the last time we were
togelher2" asked Captain O'Donahue Of
Finerty.
The latter gentleman nodded an af1irma-
tive.
Then Captain ODonahue related TO the
party the story of the Fenians' raid of
1866 into Canada by few jealous young
Fenians whose imagination had been fred
with the belief that they would strike
terror to the heart of the mother coun-
try by this invasion of Canada, and
how the United States Government had
quietly hitched a naval vessel to the Trans
port on which they were crossing the Mag.
ara River into the English dominion. and towch
them into port as prisoners.
"Do you remember the morning" continued
Captain ODonahue, when you and l with the
others stood before the bar Of criminal court at
Buffalo without friend or counsel to defend US:
We were sorry lot, a rash baud of young men
resting under grave charge. While in this
friendless and helpless condition do you rtmern-

The IRISH AND FREE TRADE.-The poll
ticians who endeavor to influence the votes
of American citizens of Irish birth with the
Argument that Englands policy of free
trade ruined Ireland either betray a curious
ignorance Of their country's history or
very great contempt for the intelligence of
their fellow countrymen, England's policy
toward ireland is the Same that was re-
peated toward the American colonies in
modified form. Instead of being policy of
free trade as is ignorantly or dishonesty
asserted, it was g. policy of protection.
Among the early restrictions upon the Irish
by their English conquerors, they were not
allowed to export live cattle lest it should
interfere with the trade Of English farmers.
Was there any free trade about that? Irish
brewers were not permitted to export malt
or beer and were forced to import hops
from England For long period the Irish
were not allowed to export wooleps, glass,
and other manufactures. All this was in the
spirit of protection and not of free trade. 1t
must he said that at the same time Eng
lish laws put great many similar nrohbi-
tons and restrictions upon the trade of
English people in the belief that they
were prulnOlive Of commercial and manu-
featuring interests. For long time the ex.
portnLion of English wool was prohibited,
and the removal of this restraint was the
frequent subject of diplomatic negotiations
on The part of the Flemish manufacturing
towns in the Middle Ages. The restraint
upon the importation of foreign wool by the
tarill' of this country is the same stupid pro-
tectivC policy in another form. Free trade
removed the last restraint upon the trade
manufactures of Ireland that had been i'm
posed by the protective system. Yet by
strange peryerson that which protection is
responsible for in the ruin Of Irish indus
tries is falsely attributed to free trade. Dan
iel O'Connell was as hostile TO protection as
he was TO slavery. He believed in free
men and free trade the world over. The
modern Irish PATROLS, with Parnell and
Davtt at their head, must be strangely ig-
norant Of the remedy for the evils that pre-
vail in ireland, since not one of them advo-
Gates the restoration Of the protective poll
cy which Daniel O'Connell helped 20 repeal.
They justly attribute the misery of Ireland
TO an iniuuitou3 land system and to other
carses with which free trade has no con-
Germ. But a few professional Irishmen in
this country, with an amusing propensity
for making political bulls, insist that citi-
zens of Irish birth should vote for Blaine
because England's wisest statesmen repeal
ed the corn laws.-Phiia. Record.
