RESPONSIBILITY OF RAILROAD
DIRECTORS

Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, president of
of an interview with representative of
the New York World, spoke with some
feeling about the action of the coroner
Jury in New York in Indicting him ana
certain other directors of the company on
account of the tunnel accident last month,
by which several lives were lost. Mr.. De-
pew showed conclusively that neither he
nor they were directly nor, in his judg-
ment, indirectly responsible for the ac-
cident; and he holds that the presentment
by the coroner's jury was unwarranted and
unjust. He is as he states, any director
Of over thirty railroad companies, upon one
Of which accidents involving loss of lite
are liable to occur. OF course it is utterly
impossible for him to personally inspect
all those roads, and he can have but a
limited personal knowledge of how some
of them are carried on. Still, according to
the verdict of the coroner's jury In the
tunnel case, he would be llable 10 lnulc0-
ment and arrest for any accident involving
loss of life on any of those roads, al
though he might not have been within
hundreds or perhaps thousands of miles #
the scene of the accident when it occurred.
There seems to be reason in certain of Mr..
Depew's structures, and yet 1t is good
hing for the travelling public to hold rail
way officials, including directors, to the
strictest accountability consistent with
justice, for the operation of their roads and
the safety OF the passengers carried over
them. And nothing less than this will or
ought to satisfy the public or the officers
and administrators OF the law.

IRELAND'S VAIL FOR BREAD

IRELAND'S VAIL FOR BREAD.
Ireland's distress, instead of being ex-
aggerated, has been but half told. Ed
ward Eggleston has recently described the
condition of the evicted tenants In the
New York World, and from his account
it is very plain that help is earnestly
and instantly needed if absolute starva-
ton is to be averted These poor peo
pie are isolated, and number several
thousand who are in the most pitiful
state of destitution The few rags that
hang about them are all hey have to
answer for clothing; their so-called houses
are miserable tumble-down dens, built
up around a hole burrowed in the EARTH
of peat or bog, and they are actually
glad to secure for food even such refuse
as is ordinarily thrown away or given to
pigs They are without.ho except such as
comes to thtm from far beyond the sea
and their wall is: Help, or we perish.
An organized effort has been set on foot
in New York to send forward clothing and
food. But it is not improbable that many
will be beyond help before succor arrives.
1t is shocking crime for England to per
NIT these poor people to suffer and die in
this way at her very doors while millions
are being squandered in useless luxury by
her aristocracy, and the country is tenn
ing with wealth and abundance. No
wonder the people are growing sick of
the etfete mummery of monarchy and
talk loudly of an approaching revolution.

The Pro Stratiug Shocks

Of malarial fever not TO be counteracted by
quinne with any degree of certainty, or for any
length of time. The eradication and prevention
of diseases of miasmatic type are, however,
ascertained possibilities. Long experience has
shown that there is infinitely more preventive
efficacy in the fine botanic medicine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters than in the alkaloids, drugs and
poisons which were formerly the only recognized
means of removing and anticipating attacks
of fever and ague and bilious remittent.
When the system has been depleted by peri
odically recurring poroxysms, this agreeable
restorative renews the fund of energy, and is not
only positive specific, but repairs the damage
to the general health inflicted by all fe-
brile complaints partaking of the malsrial
character.

NATURE AND LIFE.
Character Best Developed In Dealing
Closely VIII Nature and Humanity.


Closely vii Nature and Humanity
To the traveller who sits in his palace
car and looks out upon the free open
country, where there is but little human
life, the scene for time seems grand and
inspiring. Majestic forests now appear
in their grandeur, and the sweeping
prairies, whose tall grasses, sxayed by
the wind, bring reminder of the ever
moving seas. These and the clear. free
air hold in themselves a passing charm
unlike any other to the tired brain and
nerves. During the day, deer in groups
or single, or even by moonlight, these may
be Setll; alert, lest the laundering train
brings with it capture or death to them.
At night the horizon closes around so
near that the glistening stars seem almost
within handgrasp. The full moon rises.
as out of the ocean, only brighter and
seeming nearer, and if snow Furnishes
the landscape. a light little spiritual
brightness pervades the scene Dwelt up
on 200 long, a flavor of lonesomeness NAV
take the place of the first delight, and the
receding view bring feeling of thank
fulneSs for communities of people, where
are pleasures of contact of mind with
mind and heart with heart where
friend holds fellowship with friend" and
where the comforts of civilization may be
enjoyed.
The best development of character is
secured where a life deals closely with
both nature and humanity. Alone with
nature the voices of God seem more audi
BILE and his presence nearer. But duty to
each other requires the mingling in active
relations with each other. Face to face,
hand to hand, heart to heart is the ap-
pointed way to help your neighbor. So,
then, the wilds of the frontier and the
hum and throng of the city each appeal to
us, and in each, if we listen, we shall
hear the voice Of God in tones of love and
hopefulness.
