THE OLD COLONY DISASTER

Tho clement of human agency is rarely alb
scnt from railroad disasters, but 1t doesn
often appear so conspicuousy as 1t has III the
late dcrailment at Quincy. An ofic'ai ihves'i, ,
cation has already been had by inc h"''io""

testimony has been taken from all the perSo'''

cause of the affair and in fixing inc RESPONSE,

ness. and nothing else, was the cause Oh IT,

and were using a Jack large anu clumsy
machine that * used to lift rails. The jack
was being operated by green hand, a man

than to watch his work, so as to be aole 10 re-

lated with criminal stupidity.
In fact, everything that the foreman OF ,ne

THE FIGHT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The HORIZONS who have been making a long
and desperate struggle against the Tillman
Democrats Of South Carolina apparently do not
know when they are beaten. Their leading
oroap. "The Charleston News and Courier"
admits that the TillmaniteS have obtained con-
troll Of the party machinery and that the Dem
ocratic state Convention which was held last
week was overwhelmingly in favor of Cap
tain Tillman's nomination. Still it declines to
throw ND the sponge This attitude of these
Bourbons does not commend itself to "The
Atlanta Constitution" which argues that the
Bourbon delegates who withdrew from the
convention in question and their brethren who
indorse their action, in reality organized "a
Democratic split which promises to turn South
| Carolina over 10 negro rule" II buntly tells
the Bourbons that TilIman having made his
appeal TO Democrats, and Democrats having
overwhelmingly indorsed' him, the matter
of Tillman's candidacy is settled if Demo
cratic majority ever settles anything"
In response to these frank criticisms of a
| friend "The News and Courier says that the
| Bourbon delegates bolted from the convention
because they regarded its proceedings as il
| legal ntimating at the same time that il is
not their intention to call another convention
and nominate candidates of their own. While
| admitting that the convention was Tillman's
by large majority, it denies that he extracted
an emphatic Endorsement from it, asserting
tha4 the suggestion that he should be nom
mated was barely carried through the "rreg
ular" convention. ii may be observed in pass
ing that the Bourbons think as much of their
regularity as the old woman in the story did
of her total dcpravity. Another allegation
from which "The News and Courier seems
| to derive much comfort is that the convention
was not truly representative of the Democracy
of South Carolina, but body acting under
rules which were drafted for the base purpose
of " Stining' the voice Of the majority Fur
thermorc, this plucky organ Of the lIourb0ns
wants "The Constitution to understand tha,
the conservative and larger element of the
party has not yet made itself fclt-although
the campaign began several months ago and
| the nominating convention is to be held in n
few weeks-and that it is still within the
power of this element to make its
| voice eifectually heard"

that tho conservative and larger clement on

4 HANDSOME RECOGNITION.

The Republicans of Wisconsin evidently know
when they are well served. The state Con-
vcntion that met in Milwaukee on Nednes-
dav adopted a platform which, among other
resolutions, contains the following: That
we recognize and emphasize the importance "a
returning Legislature which shall insure the
continuance in public service of Senator John
: Spooner; that the commanding position
which he has already acquired in the councils
of the Nation is the strongest vindication OF
his eminent qualifications for the important
station 70 which he has been called, and OF
his right to rank with the distinguished states
men the Republican party of Wisconsin has
heretofore placed in the Senate OF the United
States"
To every word of which THE TRIBUNE cheer
fully gives its assent. There is no man IN
public life to-day who commands i'll higher
degree the respect and the confidence OF his
constituents than does Senator Spooner. As
awmakcr, as politician in the best sense
Of the term. as one Of the representatives, of a
great Commonwealth in the Senate of the
United States, he has bced none Of the pre-
didions that were made III his behalf six years
ago when he first entered upon the field of
National politics. The Republicans of Wis
consin are to be congratulated upon the wis
dom of their choice and upon their good judg-
