to hold any individual accountable for the death
of Feeks, but they Justly condemn the system OF
stringing wires carrying deadly currents OF
electricity upon the same poles that support
telegraph and telephone wires. So long as this
practice prevails it is the simple truth to say
that nobody is safe at home or abroad. And
finally. in its specific condemnation Of the Board
of Electrical Control, the presentment accurate
" expresses the general sentiment OF the com
munity. Haphazard dealings with the most
mysterious and deadly of material forces ought
not to continue to be the most grotesque olunder
Of American civilization.

In the course Of an interview concerning one
danger of great condagratioa in New-forK' Cnle1
Bonner of the Fire Department, is represented IN
.. The Commercial Advertiser as saying, in reply
10 a question about the probable result OF fires W
the ton stories If structures like The Tribune
Building that the department could do precious
little" The probability is that in such case it
would be necessary for the department to do
" precious little One of our reasons for this
belief is that we know The TrihuL> Building TO
be radically unlike most structures which are g-
norantly or dishonesty called fire-proof
Another reason is the fact that a couple OF years
ago fire did break out in one of the top stores
of this building, and when it had consumed papers
and desks and chairs, and temporary partitions
and surface flooring went out because there was
nothing else TO burn.

A man who objects to paying fare IN morse
cars and omnibusses without receiving seat Calls
attention TO the fact that the rights Of passengers
are respected in Europe under effete monarchles
or brand-ncw republics. In many foreign coun-
tries the public vehicles bear pacards conspicu-
ously displayed, stating how many passengers VIII
be carried inside and how many outside-tne num-
Der not being great as to call Tor cro"uing'
ANY company carrying passengers in excess OF the
nrescribed limit is liable to a heavy fine. That's
the way they manage abroad. Over here-where
the people are supposed to have their way-our
cars bear no such placard and are run on the
under ,tanding that passengers must be packed
closer than sardines in order TO make room for
one more. We Americans are undoubtedly
mighty smart people. Still, Europe can teach Us
one or two things

1t is somewhat unfortunate that the first news
received of Dom Pedro, the ex-Emperor of
Brazil, since his departure from Rio, should

town from this city and reported having
passed the Danish steamer Danmark,
abandoned, on April 8, in latitude I4G

The above announcement when cabled
to this city created an intense excitement
about shipping circles down town. The
doubt as to the fate Of the passengers and
crew made the matter still worse.
The Danmark left Suinmunde ON
March 10, Copenhagen on the 20th and
Christiansand on the 26th. When she
left the latter port she had 80 first class
and 600 steerage passengers on board.

Mr.. Goschen declared that the Par

not because the tenants couldn't nav
