abdicate in consequence Of the attitude of the
czar Is no surprise. IL has still created consid.
erabie sensation here and i'm other European

determined to abandon his throne though his
subjects emphatically protest against such a
course. aud declare their willingness TO stand

ALEXANDERS ACTION IS INExPLICABLE,
as he must have known the cars views

Russian hostility, seeing that his policy In the
past has been chiefly directed to opposing
Russian intrigue and influence i'm Bulgaria.

and rejoicing OF his people? Alexander's resolve

The engineer on the Nickel Plate rails
road, where twenty three human lives
were lost by the accident OF last Tue -
day, ought to be sent to tie penitentisiy
for his lifetime. He had his plan
orders TO lay over on a certain siding 10
let the excursion train pass. He chose
to ignore his orders upc n the sappositi N
that an excursion train IL always be-
hind time and that he could make
another siding three miles further on
before the excursion train reached that
point, although he knew that he was
running on the time OF the excursion
train in doing so. Rash man, did he
not know that be was mperiilng the
lives Of all on board the excursion?
Did he not know that he was violating
his instructions and was trifiing with
death? Yet he went on with the results
known. When he saw that the COLL
sion was inevitable he jumped from his
engine and fed, and no murderer ever
became fugitive with heavier load
OF gull resting upon his soul. What
can railroads do to keep such men out
of responsible positions? They will
creep In some how. Every other pre-
caution may be taken to make life safe,
bat no precaution can reach presump-
tuous, thick. pated engineer. No tele.
graph or system OF block signals will
avail anything IL train has a pre-
sumptuous fool for an engineer. He
"tskes chances" which means, nine
cases ont Of ten, that he takes the
chsuco OF killing somebody and OF de-
sroying property. One such man on 8
road may counter balance all the cantor
and psinstaking OF the most sagaciou
and efficient superintendent. This mai
who caused Tuesday's wholess,,
L,ughter Of human lives should b.
made to bear all the consequences O
his disobedience; he is guilty of n
crime less heinous than the most aggra
waited murder.
