An EfectuaI Warning.

Whenever anyone receives a fatal
injury at grade crossing, says the
Hartford Courant, the railroad should
be compelled to plant on the place
where the accident occurred a red or
black cross, a new one for each new
victim.
The crosses would be daily and
hourly admonition of the peril of the
spot. Whoever rode by would note
them, and they would be seen from the

RESURRECTION,
BY CHARLES MACKAY.

Each night we seek temporary death,
And unhappy if it fails TO come,
And morning daWns with life in every BREATH
And the tongue speaks, that for a time was
dumb.
And when the longer death that none escape.
ConquerS our seventy years, or less, or more,
Is it not sleep that takes another shape?
And shall we not awaken as before?

RESPONSIBILITY FOR DISASTER.

The recent dreadful railway accidents in
Ohio and West Virginia represent two
kinds of railway accidents: those which
good management might prevent, and
those which no supervision can certainly
avert. The directors and managers may
do all in their power to prevent the posi-
bility of an accident, and yet disaster may
take place through the personal negligence
of subordinate, and under the circum-
stances, the company. while responsible in
law, would not be guilty in morals. A
company may take every pains in the
selection of its employees, may provide a
strict system of rules for their guidance,
based upon the experience of practical
railroad managers of many years service;
IN its efforts to protect life and property
the company may do its whole duty by the
public with most conscientious care, and
yet an accident may take place, because no
system of regulations can be devised. no
automatic signals constructed that NAV
not be nullihed by the failure of some en-
ploye TO observe his order through sud-
den incapacity to act with presence of
mind when suddenly confronted with
danger. The employee may become absent
minded; he may be under the spell of
secret, unsupported opium habit and NAV
fail some day at the critical moment to do
his duty. No man is automatically infal-
ible, and security on the rail always rests
for its vitality on the fidelity of somebody,
and for this reason there never will come
day when fearful railroad accident is
not possible on the best managed line.
few years ago the great steel railway

crossing and not human being survived

celebrated engineer and was believed to
be as perfectly safe as the skill and knowl-
edge of man could make it, but an excep-
tionally high wind and sea wrenched some
of the iron braces from their true line and
under the weight of the train the great
bridge collapsed. The engineer, either be-
cause he had made some error in his CAL
culations OF the bridges capacity for re-
sistance to wind and wave. or because he
could not face the public odium cast upon
him by the press of Great Britain, commit
ted suicide. 4 steamer was wrecked upon
Lake Champiain few years ago in calm,
still moonlight night, because the pilot, a
veteran of TWENTY-FIVE wears service. ran
her directly upon the rocks. He had
practieed the opium habit for wears
without exciting the slightest suspicion
until finally in an opium sleep he lost COM
mand of the wheel and allowed the vessel
to steam square upon the rocks in the
harbor. Brains are desirable, but brains
oottomed upon stern sense of duty and
the necessity OF sleepless vigilance day and
night are indispensable to the man at the

steamboat 1t is proper to add that if the

IOWA AND PROHIBITION.
SEATTLE. JULY 8, ls9,

SEAITLE, July Q, 1871.
To THE EDITOR: In your issue of yesterday,
the editorial "Iows and Prohibition" demands
more than passing notice. / have not time
nor you space for an extended answer to the ar
guments therein advanced on the general sub
ject of prohibition. It is merely to question the
correctness q the fact which you used rs the
''text' for your article, as follows: "At the re-
cent Republican state convention of Iowa q
strong and nearly successful effort was made to
prevent the adoption of . prohibition plank,
and to substitute therefor local option under
high license. 1t is q matter of deep regret that
this substitute was beaten by twelve majority;
with its adoption Iowa would be sure to vote
Republican" Then follows a series of facts and
Arguments based on the above statement tend
ing to show that the people OF Iowa are dissets-
fed with prohibition, and the general error of
such legislation.
It 10 tresding on rather tender ground to cor
rect the PosT-ISTELLIGENcER on facts regarding
the Republican situation in lows, but a sense of
truth eonpels it. Your press report of the Iowa
convention, headed the "Home vs. the Saloon"
with the reports of earnest speeches and great
enthusiasm shown, was q source of great satis-
faction to many who, like myself, look to Kan
sas, Iowa and the Dakotas as the pioneers of
national prohibition. Your report gave the
vote on the adoption or reaffirmstion of the
benefits of prohibition, as e5 to lo7, or majority
OF twelve for the Prohibition Republicans. This
we'll form grounds for such arguments in favor
OF the political abandonment OF prohibition by
Iowa Republicans. At the time read your re-
port two impressions came to me-frst, that Q
convention of 202 delegates was scarcely the
eaiber of al Iowa representative convention of
the party which used TO roll up regular %, 900
majorities: and second, that the report of the
harmony, aud the final unanimous adoption of
the platform by rising vote amid great enthu-
siasm, could hardly be expected after such q
vital point as the prohibition plank had been
carried oy such "slim" margin.
With all difference to the usual correctness of
your telegraphic report, the facts are, Mr.. Edi-
tor, that your record of 95 against prohibition
was in realty 95l in favor of prohibition, while
the 1o7 were against 1t, or instead OF a marrow
majority of twelve there was an overwhelming
majority of S44 in favor of continuing prohibit
ton after the eight years experience Iowa Re-
publieans have had with it, Says the Associated
Press report: "The convention dis
tinguished for its harmony and good feeling as
have been conventions of recent years in their
discord and discussion"

oyes, so that exhausted nature can no
longer be relied upon to answer the call
for sleepless vigilance and unfailing men,
DRY. then the burden of guilty responsible
ity rightly should be made to rest upon
the company as guilty of criminal indiffer-
ence to the safety of the public by exacting
an excessive toll which invites accident by
Supplying the normal alertness of the fac
ulties of the responsible employee.
We remember case where the Troy d
Boston railway employed a boy of fifteen
as telegraph operator and station agent
at an important junction, and worked him
early and late so excessively to discharge
duties which would have taxed the
strength and nerve of full grown man,
that one day in moment of drowsin ess
the boy made fatal mistake, or lapse of
memory, and two trains dashed together,
killing several persons. The boy was ar
rested and tried for criminal negligence,
and defended successfully by Aldace f.
Walker, now of the Western Traffic Asso-
citation, upon the ground that the railway
company was responsible for the
accident and not the boy upon
whose young shoulders they had
placed an undue and important weight
of labor and responsibility at critical
point on the line; that is, the railway, by
its parsimony in refusing to pay man
full wages for mans work, had invited
the accident by hiring boy. The point
was held to be well taken and the boy was
discharged. The burning of the trestle
which caused the West Virginia accident.
near Charleston, was due either to the
lack of Waterman, who should always
be stationed at such points, or, if there
was . Waterman, to his gross negligence.
The accident in Ohio was clearly the
fault of an employe, who is reported to be
among the victims.

OLD THINGS ARE BEST.

Old things are best We wander
So strangely and so lonely
From here to that world yonder,
Why not grow fond and fonder
In tried affections only2
Old friends are best. Their faces
Each year seem dearer, dearer,
And glow with new-found graces;
Then, all These vacant places
But bring the living nearer.
Old homes are best The laughter
That tells of ehildhood's pleasures
Beneath the ancient rafter,
Surpasses ali that's after
And all of manhoods treasures
Old love is best Its sweetness
Makes pleasant sorrows chaliee,
And spite of Times dread fleetness
II gains in calm completeness
And laughs at Ages malice.
Old faith is best. The teaching
OF heart-enshrined mothers,
What profits subtle preaching,
Or blind and eager reaching
For doubt that mocks and snnothers?
Old ways are best The gladness
OF simpler lives and filter,
Ere wealth had come with madness,
Or folly left its sadness,
And sin its lessons bitter.
Old things are best. The glimmer
OF age forbids new choices,
Oh, as mine eyes grow DINNER,
Family across the simmer
Wait me the old, sweet voicesi

and If he viii accept the nomination, is
altogether likely to receive it in 1892 be-
cause be is the only man who has tact and
personal popularity enough to bridge the
dangerous rift in the party caused by the
Farmers Alliance in the great Repub-
hcan states we have named. From
all quarters comes the testimony
that these revolted and revolving Republi-
cans will vote for Blaine, but are either
universally silent or openly hostile when
any other man, like Harrison or Sherman,
is named. In the present critical condl-
ton of the party in these states this sur
passing personal popularity of Mr., Blaine
with the malcontent farmers Is fact that
cannot be safely overlooked.
In proof that we do not exaggerate
when we call the situation critical we cite
the fact that Henry c. Payne, chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee of Wisconsin, admits that Wiscon-
sin and Illinois will, in 1892, be more
doubtful states than New York or Indi-
ana. In the same interview Mr.. Payne had
nothing but good words for Mr.. Blaine,
whose nomination he steadfastly opposed
in the past, belonging to what might be
termed the anti-Blaine faction in Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Payne now anxiously turns to
Blaine as the man whose nomination can
do most to take Wisconsin out of the list
of doubtful Republican states in 1892.
The universal testimony of tourists, who
travel through the malcontent Republican
farmer belt, is that when asked if they
would vote for the Republican National
ticket in 1892, the farmers, one and all, an
swer, "For Blaine, yes; for Harrison. per-
haps." The facts we have given
are sufficient to make good
the prospective restoration of Mr.. Blaine
to full working health is welcome, because
at present his exceptionally popular per-
sonality with the rank and file of the Re-
publican malcontents in the doubtful
states makes him about the only man
whose candidacy implies assured victory
in 1892
This general argument in exposition of
Mr.. Blaine's national strength applies
with peculiar local force to the Republican
party in Washington and the whole
Pacific coast. Mr.. Blaine's personal and
political traits are in peculiar harmony
with the spirit of our people; he is man
of energy, fire, dash, resolution and
rustic; he is of generous, magnanimous
temper; eloquent in speech; prompt and
progressive in action; his views on the
tariff, on reciprocity, on the Boring sea
difficulty are all peculiarly acceptable to
81 shades of Republican opinion on this
Coast.

The newly published life of Lewis Cass
ought to be read with interest by the peo-
pie of Washington and Oregon, because it
was to Cass and Benton, in the United
States Senate of 1s45. that Oregon of that
day, which included Washington. owed its
retention by the United States. In the
controversy over the boundary of Oregon
Senator Cass echoed the Western popular
cry of "Fifty-four forty or fight, "and in his
speeches he referred so frequently to the
imminence of an inevitable war" with
England that the phrase became stand
ing jest in the Senate. The cry was a
"bluff," but was successful in procuring q
satisfactory compromise.

The renewal of the driebund, triple alliance
between Germany, Austria and Italy, gives inter-
est to the announcement that the Russian army
on war footing numbers 2,57e,000 men. That
il the force that she could mobilize on the com.
mencement of hostilities. Germany can put into
the field about 100000, including the 477,00o
men of the Ersatz reserve; and this total puts
her army numerically behind that of France by
about 10000 men. The forces OF the triple al
lance are as follows: Austria Hungary, u.s..
600; italy, 100000; Germany, 100000. Grand
total, $4,000. Russia's 2579,00o men and

round numbers 100000 more than the triple
