A great deal has been said and writ
ten on the above subject. without due
consideration. always. for all the facts
in the Ease. The first thing Ia be re-
membered is tho utter density Of the
fOgs that cause these collisions. In .
genuine ocean fog one end OF a vessels
deck is absolutely invisible from the
other end. and the rays o. a brilliant
headlight can not penetrate the intense
~blackness more than a few DDS The
one protection that steamers have in
these fogs is the blowing Of whistles.
Il should, OF course. be made the duty
of the captain ola steam vessel Ia have
nearly so. during the entire time tha,
a fog lasts, but this practice is too often
neglected. The use of the whistle.
however. a not prevent accidents;
first. because lis sound only announces
the existence of a danger. bu, does not
locate il. II is vcry difficult. almost
impossible, 10 accurately place the
direction whence the sound 81 the
danger ii be. is so near that escape
from il is impossible. This i, because.
secondly. il Is by no mean easy Ia
check the speed Of a steam vcsse!
under full Roadway. Few lands
men have any idea Of the momen-
tum OF ocean steamers. Sevcra! years
| ago the Scientific American took
| occasion to interview the commanders
Of ocean vessels on this subject. Sup
pose. il was asked. a steam vessel was
running AZ. full speed. and the engines
were reversed. how far would the YES
sci run before il began To gather stern
way"-that is. move backward? The
answer varied between two and four
miles. but the conclusion was that two
vessels approaching each other at full
speed, might. after hearing the fog
horn AT the distance of four miles. do
their best to stop and still collide with
serious consequences. As to the mat
ter OF double track lines. or ocean
lanes" AS they are called. these were
first suggested nearly fifty years ago.
| and n chart was made for the use oi
captains OF Atlantic steamers. on which
| one line was laid down for eastern and
another for western passage. At that
| time there was but one line Of steamers.
| the Cunarders. between this country
and Europe. Now steamship lines have
multiplied to sLch An extent that their
courses cross and rccrOss each other
like q network OF telegraph wires. and
the original plan OF IA chart is manifest.
" no longer equal 10 the needs Of the
case. 1t has been suggested. however.
that it would b epossible To have charts
prepared by an AUTHORITATIVE. board. III
commission. showing the exact outward
and hOmeward courses To- be followed
by each OF the steamship lines in each
month. These. il carefully followed,
would generally lessen the dangers al
collision, even il they could not alto

THE BANKER IN POLITICS.

LEsrER b. FAULKNER, of Dansville, N. Y. is
now on trial at Rochester for criminal con-
duct in connection with his hank, which, it is
claimed, was wrecked by gross misconduct
ON his part.
The prisoner was wont 10 disport himself
in political circles, and was at one time some
thing of n power" III his section of the
State. A letter written by him was read dur
ing the trial yesterday. i'll which he SAYS that
mis- bank was q great power in politics, and
Of great use to him and his friends" Again
he observed, my power to control the peo-
pie OF d msvilie depends on my managing
their affairs"
Could anything be more offensive than
these expressions ? And yet the animus dis
played in these letters is that generally
actuatins the "banker in politics" every
where. There may DO some exceptions, but
they are few.
The banker in politics " relies solely
upon his money to control votes. This is

A SWIFT vINDIOATIoN.

Hardly has the Senate of our State, whose
Judiciary Committee "smothered" The
EVENING WORLD Children's Bill, adjourned
finally, than there comes q swift vindication
of the principle advocated by The EVENING
WORLD.
At the suggestion OF an anticipated
meddler the officers of Mr.. GERRY's Society
invade the home of q worthy woman, and in
her absence take therefrom her little girl,
under the thin pretext that the child was not
allowed sufficient freedom and was not being
properly educated.
There was no evidence OF i'll treatment, no
sworn statement required Of the man upon
whose suggestion the Society acted, and no
motion to secure q warrant before invading q
private house.
There was no. show of kind heartedness on
the part of the GERRY minion, but with rude
ness and apparent relish no tore the child
from its home, and plunged its fond mother
Into deepest grief.
Had the child been committed by O judge
as desired, no legal power In the State could
ever have recovered her to her parents from
the obdurate Society.

drre these Bureaucratic outrages?

SALOON ARROGANCE,

In Ohio there is a law against liquor selling
on Sunday. 1t has not been enforced al
ways, but Just now a Law and Order League
in Cincinnati is bent on testing its efficacy.
Some of the saloons, to avoid prosecution,
closed last Sunday. Now comes the Saloon
Keepers Association deliberately and def
Rntly ordering all saloons kept open in
defiance of law, and ordering each saloon
keeper who obeys the law TO be fined by the
Association.
This is the climax of arrogance.
1t is just such reckless and offensive con.
duct as the Cincinnati saloon-keepers are in.
dulsing in that swells the ranks of the tenn.
perance radicals.
