The arrest of William O'Brien for taking part
In forbidden Nationalist meeting in Cork will
serve to remind the American public once more
that the policy of coercion is still being prose
cuted in Ireland with relentless hand. 1t
was announced in March that the Government
were disposed to treat O'Brien with lenency,
but fresh offence may furnish the opportunity
for repetition Of that harsh treatment which
nearly rendered him martyr to the Irish cause
in 1887, after the Aitchelstown affair.
HagerstoWn, Md, is just now the Mecca Of
the bicycle lovers of the country. As it is
said that Hagerstown has thirty of just such
hard, smooth streets and roads as are the de-
light of the cyclist more attractive Mecca
could scarcely be picked out. The annual
meeting of the League of American Wheelmen
is to be held there this week, and the iolliest
sori Of time is anticipated This organization
ought to be able to exert considerable influence
toward the improvement of roads in different
parts Of the country. In this way ii is possible
for it to become public benefactor-an end
worth striving for, surely.
A dispatch from Niagara Falls conveys the
far from unpleasing news that the boat in which
Charles d. Graham proposed to make a voyage
over the falls was sent out on trial trip yes
terday and was smashed 20 pieces in the raging
waters. This should be sufficient to give
Graham effective pause in his reckless course.
To undertake to 60 over the falls is simply to
invite death The chances of coming out alive
are not one in a million The man who is will
ing TO risk his life in this way does not deserve
to have it preserved, sbut as such an example
is contagious among certain minds the welfare
Of society demands that he should be locked up
until cured of his mad folly,
The sad accident near New-Haven on SatW-
day emphasizes the danger that is insepanble
from railway travel even under the best con-
ditions and where the greatest care is exercised
At first il was said that the rails had spread
II this had been so, it would have been incon-
testable proof of careless work or improper in
spection and the culpability of the company
would be beyond doubt. But later inveStiga-
ton showed that this was not the case, and the
accident is attributed TO broken wheel, a
broken journal or the dropping of brake
beam II is fair to presume that neither OF
these things could have been anticipated by
rigid examination of the running gear, and so
the accident may be set down as non-pre-
yentable. None the less is it incumbent On all
railway companies to use every possible pre-
caution to guard against breaks of this sort, In
addition to the obvious necessity of making GER
tain that the track and all the equipments are
in as perfect order as it is possible to put them
Apparently there will be no fallng-oif this
year in the quantity of powder burned in one
shane or another to celebrate what. with |
