The depiorahle accident at Payaliup
yesterday was the direct and naturai
outcome Of careless railroad manage
snent. The explanation that the faux
was with the engineer OF the freight
train; that he was new man and
that IL was foggy. does not excuse the
management. No careful manage
meut puts new men" in sach posi-
lions nor allows trains to run by giess
work and st random. The accident Il
the natural and inevitable result Of
the loose, hap-hazard, trust-to-luek
system. or want Of system. which has
characterized the operation of the
Northern Pacific for years past.

Everybody except the spectators 10 the neces-

pecIive settlement OF the great Reading coal
strike, outlined In the correspondence which
passed between MessrS Lewis ana Corotn yester-
day. The terms OF agreement are alike honorable
10 both parties. or course the advantage Is with
Mr.. Corbin, who has brought his opponents over
20 the stand which he has maintain steadily

would not discuss the or the railroad strikers
at all, and would conduct no negotiations with the
miners I'LL they had returned 10 their allegiance
and made their advances as employees OF the cor
porAtion-
Nevertheless, IL Is much TO the credit OF the
miners that they recognized the logic Of the
situation and Quilted the false position
IN which they had unwittingly placed themselves
They We now secured a solid footing. When they
have resumed work they will have a right TO de-
mand OF their employers fair arbitration of their
grievances, and Mr. Corbin has put II out OF his
power 70 deny them this night, even II he desired
10 do so. Inasmuch, however, as his success
hitherto has been largely due TO his literal fu.n-
Inent OF Obligations, it Is fair TO presume that he
means 70 act In good faith In the present matter.
and that the miners Will not have any cause TO
complain OF ill-treatmeDL
The public have reason 70 rejoice over the turn
things have now taken, because 1t leaves abso-
lutely no excuse 10 the graspug wholesale dealers
who have raised the prices OF coal on the plea OF a
scarcity produced by the Reading strike, notwiIh-
standing ir was shown, by unanswerable figures,
that the strike had produced no scarcity, but had
merely made Q market for the surplus that had
been lying idle on the operators hands, and that
the equilibrium between supply and demand had
been preserved BY the extra large output from the
