can do great deal to elevate Sunday newspapers
by openly supporting those that deserve support.

TIE LAST CENTENNIAL DAY.

Whatever may be the form or direction taken
by criticisms upon the American people, u hdS
never been said that they lacked pride In theli
history or that they wearied of expressing 10
Each of the steps from the battle of Lexington
to the Inauguration of Washington, by which
this "more perfect Union" was created ana
put in operation, has now been htly celeDrd'eu'
and we may safely be said to be at last IN the
second century of our National existence nc
history of these centennial celebrations Woulu
make large and interesting volume and one
well worth writing 1t would present daz-
cling picture. not merely of civic and military
pageantry, but as well Of the industrial ue-
yelopment which has been reached during the
first hundred years of our work and from pc
pinnings which were feeble and poor. 1t wOulu
serve to mark the line upon which the Natloh
stands to-day and over which it will bound TO-
morrow. -
In his glowing address, delivered in the nail
Of the House of Representatives, Chei-JuSuco
Fuller said the things which his countiymeh
most like to hear. TO render his story Piclu-
rescue and full of interest he had no need TO
seek aid of his Imagination. Washington be
ieved in the glorious destiny of the Nation his
head and hand and heart had done 50 much to
found. He believed in the enduring quality OF
the work wrought by himself and the patriots
he led. He believed they were making his
tory which would be for all time an inspiration
and an example to Hberty-loving people But
he had no dream Of which posterity has en-
joyed a glimpse that even family pictured the
United States of to-day. He had no conception
of the magnificent effect upon human activity
of the liberty which he had been CHIEF lnStru-
ment in providing 1t was a liberty Of which
the books contained no report that might guide
his fancy-a liberty Of conscience, OF tongue
and of action, absolute, complete and never to
be challenged. OF what the Anglo-SaXon could
do with liberty of that sort he and his con-
temporaries had no knowledge, and now that
the possibilities have become substantial facts,
their germ as well as their growth and culmina-
ton ought to be from time to time described
and COMMUNICATED. The danger of having our
liberty abridged can only come from our abuse
of it, and that will grow less as it grows dearer.

ANOTHER JOHNSTOWN DISASTER

There is one thing better than presence Of
mind in an accident" said discriminating
humorist, "and that is absence of body" but
presence of mind is certainly the second best
thing in an accident, and often serves to pre-
vent one Take this distressing JohnstOwn
panic, in which ten persons lost their lives
and many more were injured. 1t would never
have occurred but for certain persons in the
Parkes Opera House who lost their heads and
set up a cry of fire. The place was not on fire
ii was not even in danger from fire, when the
alarm was sounded. The smoke which caused
the cry came from the chimney Of a kitchen
at safe distance from the Opera House. The
result was what was to be expected in an audi
ence composed largely of women and children.
The frenzed fear of the few was instantly com
municated to the rest, or the majority OF the
rest, wild rush was made for the doorway
and then came a scene Of horror.
The Opera House was a vertable trap. 1t
was built quarter of century ago on plans
which made only the scantiest provision for
the security of those who might assemble with
in its walls Its st9irways and doors were too
narroT, its means of exit were too few. In
deed. ii was practically condemned and aban-
doned years ago, but was returned to service
after the great flood had destroyed Johnstown'
other place Of amusement These facts 90 to
show that those who permitted the use Of the
opera house were guilty Of something very like
criminal negligence, and it is to be hoped that
they may be made to pay the full penalty. But
how about those who started the cry of fire
They ought not to escape at least the most Wig
orouS public condemnation. The law may not
be able to punish them as they deserve, but it
would be well if they could be named for con-
TEMPT and avoidance. The best constructed
place of amusement on the continent is liable
to &c turned into death-trap by hysterical
fools crying fire. Stairs may be wide and
exits numerous, but panic-stricken crowd is
pretty sure to kill or injure some of its mem
beIs. Every person who enters an opera house
or theatre ought to understand that he owes
something to those who are there with him
that especially he is bound scrupuously to re-
frain from doing anything which is calculated
to endanger the common safety.
The JohnstOwn calamity lends peculiar en-
phasis to this truth. 1t is self-eyident truth,
but experience shows that it cannot be insisted
upon too often

TIE MANAGER OF"THE LONDON TTNES.p


3" lie should have died hereafter" will doubt
less be the comment of many on the news Of the
death of the manager of The London Times"
Did we believe in the blind fate of the ancients
it would seem a strange stroke that his life
should be abruptly ended just in advance of
the formal ending Of the great legal battle with
which he has been 50 conspicuously identified
Those who think they could improve upon the
present ordering Of the world would have had
him live until the judgment of Sir James Han
men and his colleagues was pronounced and
the final need Of blame or praise was bestowed
upon 1.-THE Times for its desperate campaign
against the Irish leader But that was not TO
be nor indeed was it essential to the entire
Justice of The situation. Long ago Mr.. Mac
donald realized the full fruitage of his deeds.
He knew, and he knew that the whole world
knew that in the most important part Of his

Dr.. McCOSh's qualification in the action Of
the New-Yo PIesbytery is easily understood.
But he looks for more than a revision Of the
Presbyterian Creed. lie sees in this the prom
Use of what he terms federation of the various
churches, so that they may cooperate in Chris
tan work. The waste Of power which now
goes on is apparent to the least observant eye;
and deploable thing it is. DR.. McCosh would
have the churches which are so often hinder
ing, instead of helping, each other" act to-
gether and divide the country into districts, in
order to make their work effective. The sug
gestions contained in his letter are both inter
esting and practical.

The newspapers that have been accusing Secre-

Mshaps more or less serious from electric

luckily escaped unframed. The fatalities re-
sulting from uncontrolled electric currents were

eide. In the case of Henry Harris the Coroner ;
Jury rendered an unequivocal verdict, placing
the blame squarely on the Brush Company and
making recommendations that, if carried OUT
would greatly promote safety. Now the ques-
ton arises: Is censure of the company soley
responsible for Harriss death to be the only
penalty visited upon it? This case which Is
perfectly plain one, ought to furnish test OF
