A CYCLONES VICTIMS.

n AIlBullul ctOlg S""S
Lake City.-the same carelessnesS
and incompetence that have caus'
ed the loss of scores of human lives
in the past, and that will continue
to produce similar results, perhaps
to the end oftime. An overloaded
little steamboat, with a barge drag
ging behind to carry her surplus
passengers, takes friends and rela-
tives to a camp of citizen soldlery
and IN returning is caught in a
cyclone on Lake Pepin, and the
majority OF the passengers 60 to
the bottom. When the struggle
with the winds begins, it is dis
covered that there are but a few
life. preservers on board, and none,
1t must be inferred. on the barge,
which is cut adrift to avoid hamper
ing the steamers movements.
But they appear to have been
more helpless on the steamboat
than on the barge. Many of the
passengers OF the latter were
eventually saved through the efforts
OF persons on the shores OF tue
lake: but those who started out on
their errand of pleasure III the
morning with the most buoyant
homes. and imagined themselves
safer than their companions on the
barge, seem to have gone down as
soon as they encountered the storm
like blocks of lead. The over load
ed steamer furnished no protection
when the crisis came, those IN
charge not even being able to steer
Their boat or do anything OF value
for the safety of the lives entrusted
to them. The passengers would
have been better of in open boats
on the raging ocean than in this
stuffy, crowded death trap on an
inland lake.
There Will be an investigation,
of course. The door will be tenn
pOrorily closed after the tibet has
done his work. Perhaps there Will
be no officials lett to be held ac'
countable for the human sacrifice,
nor is it likely that anything OF a
preventive character will be done
even should the responsibility be
clearly SHOWN. The public has
grown accustomed to such things
in this country, and seems to act
on the theory that each person
must take care of himself when
danger arises, and not trust to the
ordinary precautions for which all
who become common carriers are
bound. The neglect of such pre-
cautions is frequently as disastrous
as the most active criminality; but
this counts for little. The horror
occurs, and the details are sized
upon with ayidity, but tits scarcely
a nne.days' wonder. Sometimes a
more than usually bitter survivor
follows up the matter with the in
tentlOn of Furnishing the response
BILE parties !; but his aTdOr general
" oozes away after a few weeks,
and the affair Is dropped only to be
momentarily recalled by a similar
and perhaps worse disaster happen
ing months or years later.
1t is useless to mOralize or offer
advice under such circumstances.
The public is primarily responsible
because of laxlty in the enforce
ment Of the plalnest principles of
the law. a few salutary examples
would make all the difference in
the world. A cyclone could then
only do its legitimate work. 1t
could not make a slaughter-peD OF
a well.appoinUed steamboat.

NOT SIGNS nF INSANITY.

The view reported to be entertained by an
anonymous New York Democrat, that Mr..
Cleveland's constant writing about the tariff
question indicates monomania on that
subject, is probably case of political i'm
agination. That Mr.. Cleveland has given
much attention to the promulgation OF reye-
nue. tariff views is unquestiouable; but SO
have Mr. Carlisle, Mr.. Mills, and others
who give tolerably clear indications Of re-
tanning firm grip upon their mental bal
ance.
The criterion of sanity which would keep
public man from referring in his letters to
the political issues which he supports,
would. If applied impartially, produce some
serious results. Thus, in opposition to Mr.
Cleveland's inculcation of tariff reform, are
some prominent Republican statesmen,
who are equally industrious in con-
stantly presenting the arguments in favor
of protection; but no one charges that
Mr.. Mckinley or Mr.. Blaine have gone
crazy on protection. Or to apply more
cogent illustration dd honliReDl, New York
Democrats of the Hill stripe, to which this
write anything with regard to politics with
out making a personal attack upon Mr..
Cleveland. 1t NAV be that some of them
have gone insane in regard to Mr.. Cleve-
land; but to relegats all of them to insane
asylums would rob politics of some its most
prominent, if not most ornamental, figures
To set down every man who rides his
political or social hobby rather severely, as
showing the indicia of insanity, would be
to adopt the philosophy of the Cheshire Cat,
in "Alice in Wonderland" who asserted:
ave are all mad"
1t is proverb that the exact point where
genius ends and insanity begins is hard to de-
termine; but Mr.. Cleveland's mental charac-
terisucs are not of the kind that develop
into insanity. His career is rather the
demonstration Of sober and sometimes com.
,mon-place sense and solidity. 1t might be
hazardous to say that he will never &c
insane on tariff reform; but it will be more
likely that some of the opposing Democrat
will go crazy about mugwumpery first.

THE DUTY OF CONGRESS.

The public discussion of the possibilities
of stopping the nefarious Louisiana lottery
swindle, has brought out letter from Post
master General Wanamaker. giving decis-
ions by Judge Pardee, of the U. S. Court
for the Louisiana district, and opinions
from different United States Attor-
ney Generals to the effect that under the
present laws the Postoffice Department can
not suppress the mail of that lottery. The
decisions of Judge Pardee are not entitled to
much respect, as that judicial relic OF the
carpet-bag days is notoriously at the service
of wealth in whatever corrupt and unscrupu-
Ious form it may take. But the fact is tol-
erably clear that the present legislation is
not sufficient to insure the suppression of the
lottery by the Postofice Department. This
gives force to the position assumed by THE
DISPATCH that it is the duty of Congress to
provide the enactments which shall outlaw
that public disgrace. If Congress can take
time from its pending squabbles to pass the
necessary legislation, it will do service to
public morality.

The EIGHT FnR LIFE,

The fight with the underground forces OF
nature on the faint hope OF rescuing the
miners who were imprisoned by the Dunbar
explosion, still goes unremittingly on. The
hope that the part of the mine where they
are supposed to be would have been reached
ere this, has been subject to frequent disap-
pointments; but the work has never stopped.
The ceaseless vigor with which the work of
rescue is kept up forms bright spot IN the
darkness of that catastrophe.
1t is bootloss now to discuss the chances
Of finding the imprisoned miners alive.
That there is a chance is sufficient to keep
the determined rescuers at work. Such an
exhibition of humble and unpretending
heroism cannot be regarded as lost, even if
the work of rescue is unsuccessful. The ex-
ample of what can be done by men who are
inspired with on:y a faint hope OF saving
the i,ves Of their comrades is one that the
world can profit from.
The burning mine guards its secret
stubbornlv; but the ceaseless attacks of the
rescuefs will sooner or later penetrate to the
point where they can tell whether their
heroic work has been success. .ul in its lite-
saving purpose.
