The old story Of the landsman who pitied the
sailor in u storm, while the sailor was wonder
ing how the landsman could possibly live
through such fright as gale on shore must
give him, is recalled by the accident which
occurred last evening in Grand street, New
York. II there 10 place in the world where
person would be justified in supposing him
self safe, il is there, especially at an
hour when the neighborhood is thronged
with people. With no cyclone dislodging
chimney bricks or ripping the boughs
of trees, with no lightning swapping its
threatening Lash in the air; guarded by the
presence Of the crowd from footpads, with q
firm sidewalk to tread on, and having no occa-
sion to tempt fate by venturing across the
track Of the horses in the middle of the street.
why should not any Of the hundreds Of men
and women passing and repassing McCabe's
erockery store, have considered himself beyond
the reach Of harm? And yet, without warning,
comes terrific explosion, SCATTERING the show
window into fragments and sending the flying
glass with such force as to inhict serious
wounds on nearly thirty persons. The argu-
ment 50 disinterestedy urged by insurance
agents. that there is no time and no place in
which one is free from danger, is well exem-
plihed by the Grand-street casualty.

There is something mysterious about the

and Is therefore prepared to denounce the

With the steady lengtheniLg Of the days and
the gradual cooling Of the nights, there comes
a reminder OF the approach Of the opening Of
the scholastic year, and Of the necessity of
bringing the young people from their seashore
and mountain resorts and Of setting them
to work again. Numberless statements have
been made of the advantages Of our city as an
educational center, but none has done the SUBJ
ieot more than the barest justice. The
excellence Of the public schools here
and the high grade Of teachers employed are
generally conceded. The same rule holds good
in the higher seminaries of learning, and in the
select schools Of all grades. We have indi-
vidual educators here whose fame is as wide as
the Union, and who could perhaps call the roll
Of their old pupils in more states to-day than
instructors to be found in any other city. The
especial abundance Of institutions for
young ladies which stretch the whole
gamut Of polite accomplishments, and
carry the pupil from the pinafore and kinder
garten stage to that Of the diplomaed gradu-
ate, is notable. In the line Of colleges and
academies for fitting young persons Of both
sexes for practical self-support, whether by the
arts pictorial, musical and oratorical, or by
some palmer business pursuit, we are well sup
Piled The notable advantages of the city to
students in the various university branches have
been utilized by the local institutions for
higher education. In short, Washington is so
fully equipped with everything that Is needed
for the instruction and intellectual develop
ment Of youth, that she has only to make the
facilities and advantages which are offered
widely known in order to insure their being
eagerly sought by the public.

1t must be great relief to the state Of West
Virginia 10 know that she has a governor at
last, and she deserves the congratulations of
her sister states that she has secured SO good q
one. There was an uncommon average of
honest votes cast, also, il the press accounts
are correct. II she makes as good a record in
that respect at every election hereafter, she
will soon be entitled to serve as Q model for
the other states

All the railroad reports agree In showing
that the year 1888 was not very good railroad
year in America. As compared with 1887,
which is the nearest standard, Ii was exceed
ingly poor. The proportion Of freight earn
ings to increase Of business fell of, rate wars
and other things conspiring to cause good
deal of traffic to be carried on at loss. Mean
while. fixed charges were on the increase; with
the result that the net surplus acquired during
the year by the roads Of the entire country
dropped nearly seventy-fve per cent from the
showing of the year before. The most profta-
bic trade. all things considered, was done in
New England and the middle states, where
competition is not so fierce. and where the
management Of the various lines is entrusted
thanks to the conservative spirit of the stock
holders-to the hands ofpersons made competent
by long experience to direct their affairs wisely,
rather than those whom the accidents OF specu-
lation happen to have brought to the surface
Analysis Of the figures for the whole country,
moreover, shows that the most profitable BUSH
ness is done in local, as distinguished from
through traffic.
That is in accordance with the principle fire.
quently maintained by The STAR that it would
be financially profitable for the common car
riers running through this part Of the country
to build up their local traffic by good service
and fair terms, instead Of suffocating a healthy
local in order to boom reckless and often dis
astrous through business. 1t is gratifying to
learn that the statistics gathered from the
Union at large bear out the argument so effec-
lively, and it is to be hoped that the companies
which minister to the interests Of our city and
suburbs may take the lesson to heart, and spend
more and more each year of the money which
is earned from the profitable local traffic in the
improvement Of the local service and the in
crease of the local business.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.
The President gave . special reception in
the east room Monday morning at IL O'Clock
to Gov. Burleigh Of Maine AMI staff and the
veterans Of the 10Th and 29th, Maine Vol
unteers who are on their way home from
their pilgrimage to Gettysburg, Autietam,
and other battlefields. Secretary Blaine
accompanied the party to the White House
and presented them 10 the President.
While our party were being presented 10
the President little daughter of Councillor
Lord, who is very bright child, took the
hand of the President aud. as he said, II
am glad to see you. little girl" she replied,
II am glad TO see you; as | could not see
you when you were in Maine | have come
out here to see you"
Our people feel pleased at the courtesy
shown them in being accorded private re-
ception.
After the Handwriting they were shown
through other parts of the house, after which
some took teams for a drive about the city
and others visited various points of interest.
Councillors Carr and Cobb, with their
ladies', attended church yesterday, having
seats very near the Pres dent and family.
The incident of the Maine party this after
noon has been visit to Mt. Vernon by
steamer at the old homestead of Washington.
A care was presented TO Gov. Bureigh. The
cane was made from wood grown on the es-
ate and was nicely finished, In passing

Marshall house. where Col. E,lsa orth was
shot, the house where Gen. Braddock and
Washington keld q conference before start

house where Washington worshipped, and
many other interesting points. During the
evening the Governor received calls from a
large number of Maine men, residents Of
Washington and of many of the western
states. The gathering of the knights Tenn
plar is bringing in people from all parts Of
the country and thus brings in many Maine
men, Our party will probably leave here
