sea was rough. on Thompson's Island the
boat was capsized. Several of them chung

more, and finally becoming exhausted,
they slipped off and were drowned,
one by one, Walter Quinlan being
saved. The names of the drowned
were: James II. Mitchell, Joseph Tufts,

Boston; Albert Lombard, of the West End;
John Sullivan and Lawrence McTa-non, of
Charlestown. The overturned boat was seen

other occasions saved people from drowning.
There does not appear to have been auy
nquOr on the yacht, and the accident was
due to lack OF knowledge how to handle
the craft IN rough water.

INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY.

DIR. Lyman Abbott, in q recent article in
the Forum, develops a scheme of what he
calls industrial democracy, which he bases
on the belief that where government is car
ried on by the people its industrial activi-
ties should be controlled by the people. If
the theory was simply that this popular
control should be secured BY distributing
the ownership Of industrial and CONNER
cial enterprises among the greatest number
OF owners, it would be a species of indus
trial democracy that is as old in this eoun-
try as the economic and constitutional prin-
ciples of Webster and Marshall. But this
established principle of our Government is
not enough for the writer. He is not con-
tent to maintain system which establishes
the most democratic condition of propertv
by encouraging the widest distribution of
private ownership; but prefers to abolish
private ownership altogether in some forms
of property, which is most likely to produce
the result that such classes of industrial en-
terprise will become the property of the pol
iticians as fully as the postoffices now are.
The Boston Herald, in noticing DR.. Alb
bott's development of the theories of indus
trial democracy, says that he does not show
show the employees on the New York Cen
tral could become proft-sharers and CO.
operators in that Joint stock corporation %
Yet the tendency of the times to accent the
perversions of modern institutions as their
legitimate condition, is shown by the fact
that the very organization of the New York
Central corporation is for the purpose of
facilitating the joint ownership in that en-
terprise, not only of its employees, but of all
other persons OF limited means. The theory
and purpose of corporate organization is to
permit and encourage the widest joint
ownership of all kinds of industrial enter
prise among the people. 1t was established
so that everyone with $50 or 500 could own
share in the enterprise and enjoy its profits.
1t is one of the gravest indictments against
the corporate system that its management
has so perverted it from its original pur-
pose of securing the widest distribution of
wealth as to make it an engine of the
greatest concentration of wealth in few
hands. And It is an example of the blind
cropping that is being done on this subject
that writers on social topics fail to perceive
that corporations like the New York Gem
tral are intended for industrial cooperation,
and that the evil lies in the abuses which
have diverted them from their true pur-
pose.
A clearer comprehension of The issue is

uNCONGEkIAl.

To the astonishment of her friends and re-
lations, lady whom We will call Mrs.
Smith, returned to her home in little town
not 20 miles from Pittsburg, early last month,
at time when she was expected to be ex-
hausting herself and the sights of Europe with
party of tourists. Wealthy, in good health
and far enough this side of 80 to be fond of
sightseeing, Mrs Smith elected to cross the
Atlantic with several friends who were bent
upon enlarglng their views and contracting
their pocketbooks according to the fashiona-
BILE recipe.
Nobody knows till he has tried it what risky
business it is TO make partnership for sea
voyage. Many friendship has been wrecked
at sea. Mat de n.er is not the only sickness
Incidental to sea voyage. So it happened
that Mrs. Smith was sick of her companions by
the time the Cunarder was half across the At.
lantic. Such GOODNESS sprung up between her
and them that when Liverpool was reached
Mrs. Smith announced that she should not con-
tinue her journey eastward. She took passage
on the next steamer for New York, and arrived
home little more than two weeks from the
day she started. Her explanation of her sud.
den return was somewhat perplexing. 1t was
coucbed epigrammatically, after the fashion of
the Delphic oracle: ITS no good travelin'."

about not being able to force horse to
drink, was evidently discarded in this case;
but there is reason to fear that bolter de-
tanned in the convention hall against his
will may retain the boiling frame of mind
Notwithstanding his detention. Still the
employment of the police to keep the dis
gruntled delegates within doors enables the
report to 60 out that bolt was preventedj
and that was evidently its main purpose.
The convention puts Colonel Stone fairly
in the field, and practically makes him the
next Congressman from the North Side. If
his Congressional career is successful in pro-
portion to the lively time he has had in Sc
curing its opening, he will rival his prede-
cessor in prominence among the leaders of
the House.

THE OHIO TRAFFIC,

The abnormally high stage of water in the
Ohio at this season lends emphasis anew to
the desirability of utilizing waterways.
THE DISPATCH prints to-day some inter-
esting facts regarding the river trade. 1t is
worth noting how capable in point of speed
and rates the river steamer is of com
petition with the railroad. A great many
shippers are taking advantage of the river
route, the opening of which is the more
opportune on account of the car famine ex-
listing on many of the railroads. The lock-
ing of the Ohio, and the making of the
ship canal from Lake Erie to the river
would make transportation by water a
permanency for Pittsburg instead of
merely occasional relief.

A CONVENIENT COMMISSION.

Senator Plumb's amendment to the Tariff
bill creating Customs Commission secured
a majority yesterday in the Senate. The
Commission is to examine the operation of
the tariff, its effect upon domestic manufact-
ures and agricultural products, and to sug-
gest from time to time such changes In the
scheme of protection as they may seem de-
sirable. Senator Plumb's object no doubt is
to render it easier to make reductions in
the tariff than by the existing processes.
The creation of the commission is not GER
tain to secure that or any other good object.
Commissions have fashion of confning
their attention to the drawing of their sala-
ries. The country has about enough COM
missions of this sort. But the Senate agreed
to it, and the House may likewise see the
beauty of creating five snug offices with
s., 900 salaries, to which disinterested gen.
tlemen-and how nicely that describes a
Congressman may be appointed by the
President. The tendency to increase the
cost of government ought not to be en-
couraged.

A LIVELY CONVENTION.

The convention in the Twenty-third dis
trict, which nominated Colonel Stone YES
terday, was true to the precedents of the
campaign in winding it up with as lively
scenes as any of those which have enlivened
the contest from the time that Colonel Bayne
withdrew his name from the first conven-
tion. The warmth of the contest, in closer
district, might contain threat of further
difficulties; but with the large margin that
the nominee has to 60 on, any dissatisfaction
that may have been generated is sure to
prove innocuous.
The canvass has developed unique feat
ures heretofore; but none of them have had
a more refreshing and unprecedented char
acter than the distinguishing feature OF this
body. We do not know when we have
heard of more amusing development of
practical politics than the device of pre-
venting a bolt by closing the doors and
keeping the kickers imprisoned until the
was over. The old proverb
