Ferhaps never, In the history of
Charleston, has her people been so
suddenly and terribly shocked as by
the calamity which befell the train
load of happy, joyous excursionists
and travellers on the Kanawha and
Michigan railroad yesterday morn
ing. The details arc given fully i'm
our local columns this morning, and
are painfully accurate. There have
been greater disasters, but the
scenes were yelled by distance and
the victims were usually strangers
to most of us; and while the human
heart must always feel pang of
regret for human hdrts everywhere,
the poignancy becomes doubly pain
full when it enters our immediate
circle, and removes those with whom
we have had pleasant relations for
years, or snatches from our embrace
the family support or cherished idol.
AS if seemingly to make the matter
still more distressing, the Demon of
Horrors chose National holiday
the gladdest day in all the year-to
make his visitation. He selected
train unusually populous, bearing
the aged veteran who has faced him
in hundred hideous forms; the
traveller who has covered thousands
of previous miles unframed; the
loving husband and wife; the gay
and thoughtless youth; the fun low
ing maiden; the innocent and trust
ing child, and the helpless babe.
Some are seeking pleasure; some
rest from arduous care and protract-
ed labors; some to celebrate in con-
nection with cherished friends, the
return of the Nations birthday; all
feeling secure from bodily harm and
totally unconscious of danger.
Like a flash of light-in the
twinkling of an eye-the rails
spread, and nearly one.fourth of all
on board are called to final account,
and nearly all the remainder to
suffer bodily harm, and the whole
community is plunged into deepest
gloom.
We shall not stop here to moralize
on such an event. We are too
prone to view these things as visi-
tations from a sublime being, whose
love we know is as boundless as
space and as tender as an infants.
We only know it teaches again the
lesson we have been years learning,
that
death sits on every passing
breeze,
And turks in every flower"
May God, in his infinite wisdom
and mercy, help the living to be
ready at any moment, that we be
not, like these, taken unawares.-
Gazette, Sunday.

WHO Is PROTECTED?

pennsylvania is the leading pro-
lection State in the Union, and it's
politicians are the chief inspiration,
financially and intellectually, of the
Mckinley idea. Pennsylvania is
the scene of more labor troubles
than any other state in the Union.
Pennsylvania is the home of more
imported contract laborers than
any other State in the Union.
Pennsylvania contains more i'll paid
and half starved workingmen than
any other State in the Union. Yet
its manufacturers howl, hustle and
contribute more for protection than
any other State. Put these facts
together, you who toll for lively
hood, and draw your own conclu-
sion."
