EXPRESS SAFEGUARDS.

The murder Of the express messenger, near
Joliet. suggests that present methods of guard
ing treasure in transit might be improved
The ordinary precautions taken are not
enough, and there is constant temptation to
desperate scoundrels to do just as was done on
the Chicago, Rock Island g. Pacific in this in
stance, and on the Monon route only few
months ago. The plan of procedure in each
case was much the same, and in one instance
the robbery was effected by one man, who
came near committing double murder in ad-
dition to robbery The treasure in charge of
the messenger is in safe, but that, after all,
is but scant protection against robbers. The
only point to be made is to eget the drop on"
the messenger, a thing easily enough achieved
under present arrangements. With him in
their power, it is but question of minutes
until they find access to the safe, and are off
with their booty. Nor is it necessary that en-
trance to the safe be had on the train, since
the safe, asmall one, easily portable, could be
dumped out the door to confederates, who
would soon make off with it, or soon break it
open. 1t is very dangerous risk to be in
charge of large sums of money in an express
car as now arranged. frequently the doors
are unlocked. and open TO any who choose to
enter. II locked, the messenger is accus-
toned to open them to any one who may
knock for admittance. as was the case in this
instance. The door open, the rest Of the

Some inconsiderate English newspapers are
finding fault with Queen Victoria because
she fails to contribute liberal sum, or in
fact any sum, from her boarded millions to
the relief of the starving Irish. Queen Vic
toria is far-seeing dame and her prophetic
eye doubtless has vision of future in
which her own numerous brood and their de
scendants will have need of all her wealth,
since the government will listen to no more
demands. With that unhappy day in view
she can listen to no appeals for outside chart

conspicuous success.


For long and weary months the mugwump
papers tried to pound the idea into the public
mind that Mr.. Cleveland was a reformer of
high degree, and that, in particular. he was
civil-service reformer, who would divorce the
idea of party interests from such official APP
pointments as he was compelled to make.
They knew he would do this because they had
voted for him for that express purpose; and,
besides, he himself had said, if not in actual
pledge, at least by implication, that he would
do as they desired. Now that he has shown
such pointed disregard of the most cherished
principles of mugwump reform. and the farce
can no longer be carried on, the same Journals,
notably the Boston Herald, are engaged in a
feeble defense of his actions, aud assert boldly
that Mr.. Cleveland never promised that no
government official should ever be removed
except for cause Whether he promised it or
not these papers did their best to convince
the public that he had done so, and the spec
tacle they present in going back to cover their
own tracks is not an edifying one.

The average landsman's confidence in the
floating qualities of the great ocean steamships
is badly shaken by the sinking of the fine and
fast steamer Oregon by some little schooner
that drove holes into her side as easily as
though it were a huge cheese. The water
tight compartments did not keep the vessel
from going to the bottom, though the sea was
perfectly calm, and the sailors had every ad-
vantage Of working to keep it afoat. In mid
ocean, in anything like rough weather, the
accident of Sunday morning would have cost
hundreds of lives.

The gist of various elaborate dissertations
on the Presidents course in the leading Demo
cratic journals of the country seems to be
that the occupant Of the White House is no
longer to be considered really and truly"
Democrat. With the mugwumps edging off
from him with up-turned eyes and his case
ruined with the prohibitionists by his eight
kinds Of wine, there seems to be nothing left
for Mr. Cleveland but to join the Illinois labor
party. 1t is very solemn situation.

The New York Herald, seconded by the
Washington Post, wants the President to LET
the country know who betrayed him into ap-
pointing bad men to Office, so that the blame
may be put where it belongs Don't these
papers see that they are meddling with the
Presidents private affairsf The documents
containing the names of the wicked advisers
are probably on file in the departments; but,

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND Is credited with a
remarkably original practical idea in his APP
pointment of military and naval cadets at
large. His selections are all sons Of army and
navy men. Such boys, it is claimed in his
behalf, 'have ambition to be something more
than dudes, which is not usually the case
with West Point and Annapolis students. /"
Mr.. Cleveland feels that he would be failure
did he not maintain that lofty superiority to
all the remainder of humanity. If this bit of
LIBERALIZATION means anything, it means
that he wishes il understood that his
reasoning is shrewder, his wisdom greater,
than that Of any Of the Senators and Con-
gressmen who have had to do with the naval
and military appointments. This supreme
egoism is thoroughly Clevelandesque, and
has been approached in only one other in
stance within the past twenty years. Aside
from Mr. Tilden, Mr.. Cleveland is without a
peer for self-approyal Jeffersonian simplicity
does not please Mr.. Cleveland because Mr..
Cleveland did not originate it. Indeed,
Mr. Cleveland spends many unhappy
hours bewailing the fact that JEFF
ferson died before he had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Cleveland. AS for his idea
relative to military and naval appointments
to the academies, it is about as absurd and
snobbish conception as could be coniured
up. and must have been poured into his
capacious ear by some martinez or sinecure in
military circles. It never originated from
any Of the great soldiers, that is certain; for
their own lives disprove the theory, few of
them beingsons Of military or naval command
ers Besides, it smacks Of class favoritism
that is hostile to the democratic principles
Of this Republic There is no reason why the
Nations great schools Of science should be
kept for the benefit Of any class of citizens
and their sons. There is no more reason why
the son of military or naval officer may not
turn out a dude and do-little than that the
son Of any other man should. It is much
more probable that the academies would breed
race Of uniformed dudes were this brilliant
idea adopted than if the young men sent there
were so honored because of personal worth
than that their pas were officers. Great fault
has already been found with the exclusive
ness of West Point undergraduates and it ia
not we'll to encourage them further The son
of a soldier is no more likely to make an ex-
celent officer than any other. When it takes
the color that the President gives it, and the
sons Of pri rates, or civilians, it is about time
to call halt. AS the originator Of practical

work is mere matter Of adyant-
age that the messenger cannot stand
up against, and, If he attempt to defend his
charge is murdered for his temerity. It is
pointed out that some better method Of guard
ing the doors be provided. That they should
be provided with the best of locks is evident.
They should also be fitted with small aper-
ture in the CENTER guarded by iron bars on
the outside, and provided with sliding door
on the inside, so arranged as to not be opened
except from the inside. Should any one
knock for admittance, the messenger could
open this slide and discover who it was and
what was wanted. In case of a stranger, he
could be compelled to make known his wishes,
and the messenger could guard against sur
prise by securing revolver or other weapon.
The door of an express-car should never be
opened to any one knocking for admittance at
night. Express companies owe it to their
employees to provide every safeguard. And if
it is expected that the messenger shall defend
his charge with his life, they should make it
a rule to keep his life insured against such a
death. This would cost the company but a
nominal sum, since but a very small per cent
Of their men are likely to meet death at the
hands Of robbers. It were a small compensa
ton to put $40, 900 on any man dying at his
post. Company and men alike should observe
the greatest circumspection, and not grow
careless by reason of long years free from mo-
lestation. The intruder always comes when
least expected. He should not be afforded any
advantage
