The railroad collision at Egg Harbor n. j.,
the other night is attributed to some fault in the
air-brake apparatus of the express train Pre-
ciscly who is responsible for this is not yet made
clear 1t is obvious however, that it is the bust
ness of a railroad company to supply air brakes
that will work Some time ago the public was
assured that air-brakes were so constructed that
if they got out of order they would set" them
selves and bring the train to stop. Evidently
they don't employ that variety in the vicinity of
Egg Uarbor.

The arrival of the Czarewitch at Moscow brings
TO a close the longest journey ever undertaken
by any heir apparent to the Russian throne
Under ordinary circumstances, travel eniarges the
mind and broadens views, but it is to be feared
that the Czarewitch has rot derived any such ad-
vantages as these from his trip. In India ne was
kept closely guarded from all communication WIN
any save those belonging TO the Official World
and in China, as well as Japan, his stay was so
brief as to have been absolutely of no avail
so far as any benefit to the mind is concerned.
With regard to Siberia, which he has Just ira
versed from east TO west across the entire breadth,
the authorities were so alarmed lest he should
become witness to the nameless horrors OF the
MuscOvite penal system that his experiences OF
that portion of his future empire have necessarily
been of a most superficial character. All the
great penal settlements were avoided, and the
Czarewitch will henceforth be convinced that the
stories told of Siberian prison cruelties are pure
and malicious inventions Indeed, there Is rea-
son to fear that the ten months Journey Just
brought TO a conclusion may prove injurious rather
than beneficial, in q moral sense, to the future
autocrat Of all the RuSsias.

The Peoples Baths were opened yesterday
and were comparatively well patronlzed. II
was feared that at the start there might be
some difficulty in inducing those for whom they
are interded to avail themselves of the priv
ilege offered at such triiling cost Fortunate
ly, the opening of the baths became noised
abroad among the right people, and the first
day was as successful rs the projectors of the
baths hoped. 1t has been wisely arranged that
those who use the baths shall pay small fee
they will thus maintain their self-respect, and
be free from the sense Of degradation that fol-
lows getting something for nothing. a more
practical form Of benefcence the city has not

bv the terrible accident which has just taken

Nothing but the grossest careleSSness could
have led to the railway accident which occurred
in Switzerland yesterday. The situation was
simple enough. \ special train carrying large
excursion party to Berne was TO be run upon
a switch while an express train passed it. But
the express had not been informed of the ar
rangemcnt, It's officers were not on the lookout,
and before the excursion train was out Of the
way the other crashed into it. Fourteen dead
and twen;y-four seriously injured is the melan-
choly record. 1t is only three weeks since the
horrible disaster at st. Mande, and naturally
there is great excitement in Switzerland.

COEnERCIdL UNION.
Sir Charles 1upper Talks of This Subject
and Touches Upon Annexation.

WINDSOR, OrT.. Feb N.-Sir Charles Tup-
per addressed large public meeting here last
evening. In the course of his speech he read
two letters, one Of which, he said, was writ
ten to Erastus Wiman by Editor. Farrer, OF
the Toronto Globe, and the other TO MIR.
Wiman by Congressman Hill. Farrer's letter
which was dated April "a. 1882 opens by
movement Il at stsndstill. He
gives three reasons for this, one being
that a large number of people are inclined to
think that we had better make for annexa-
tion at once. instead Of making two bites Of q
cherry" He goes on: 1T seems to me, in
talking things over lately with maritime men,
bers. as well as with ManitObans, that COM
morcial unior would only delay the coming
of the evert those people most desire.
Hence, in the provinces referred TO
commercial union does not take hold; where
AS annexation will always demand hearing.
In Ontario the Jesuit campaign has brought
that aspect of things home TO the thou
sands who would not look at commercial
union. Then again. the truth IS that every
man who breaches commercial union would
prefer annexation, 80 that the Liberal party Is
virtually wearing a mask"
Mr.. Wiman seems 10 have forwarded this
letter TO Mr. Hit, for the letter was dated
April 20. 1889, and commenced by stating that
he has been much interested in Farer's let
ter. IL continues: he reasons ne gives eA-
stsd before the commercial union movement
began with greater force than to-day. The
Republicans. as protectionlsts, It was appre-
hended would be against it, They are not.
Their Representatives vote for it; their
newspapers have received ii kind
ly and often with approval. The
com mercial question is a business question
that concerns each citizen and in way which
he does not understand at first, but sees more
and more clearly the more he talks intelli-
gently about il. There ia some logic IN
what Farrer says in not making two
bites of cherry, but for annexa-
ton at once, think he Is misled on
that point in a WY that often occurs. When
a man is thinking much on point and dis
oussing Il, he is liable to narrow his horizon
TO those within his reach and his
own mind. and perhaps those hemeets. having
passed only discussion to distant results, he
takes il for granted that the wide world which
is go wonderfully slow, has kept up with him
and has the same results in sight.
We must beyery patient with the slowmov-
ing popular mind. II the Canadian public can,
in three years. be argued up to the point OF
voting commercial union, and giving sanction
to the movement in Parliament, 1t will be
great progress. Slow as such movements are, the
comforting thing is that they never go back
