Disregarding the signal the engineer of southbound train continued on his way until his engine, with four loaded cars behind her, crashed into the switch engine with such force as to carry her 8 distance of forty feet, tearing away tho footpath and railing of the structure and throwing her into the street, twenty feet below.
 The engineer and fireman of the switcher were thrown from their engine to the mid dle track, and the former was seriously and the latter slightly hurt. The collision knocked out cylinder head of the passen- ger engine and the escaping steam, to.

The trouble will probably be set tied by arbitration.

our monetary system, and which is not
Major MCKINLEY, more than any other
man before the pablic to day, represents
the Republican idea. He is the candidate
of the party in Ohio for the highest Office in
the state, and in sense is the candidate Of
the Republican party Of the nation, Tor
his election will be regarded as in
the nature Of Republican vindication,
whereas his defeat will be looked upon as
a Reputation of Republicanism extending
beyond the boundaries Of the Buckeye
state. The Republican administration is
giving him all the aid possible and good
deal more than is consistent with propriety
and decency and any sort OF regard for the
spirit of the civil service law. Many of
the leaders of the Republican party are
taking active partin the Ohio campaign in
behalf of MCKINLEY, and it is notorious
| that a few weeks ago the fat-fryers of the
party put forth extraordinary efforts to
gather cash to be used 'where it would dc

A HEAVY DRAIN.

Senator WAsHBURN says that fully $50,
100000 of American gold has gone abroad
this season to pay the expenses of Ameri-
can tourists, and says this matter of Ameri
can travel is becoming serious from a
financial point of view. He divides the
tourists into two classes-the educated and
cultured, who go abroad for health or to
rest, and the rich who travel because it is
fashionable The latter are the snobs
whose loud manners and lavish expendi-
ture of money bring discredit upon the
American people. The Senator thinks it
would be better if the snobbish rich would
travel in their own country, spending
their money where it would be of
benefit to the American public. The ad-
vice is good enough, but we doubt that
Senator WAsHBURN thinks anybody will
accept it. He is a millionaire and likes to
go to Europe and spend his money as he
pleases; he would be offended If some
other man of wealth were to tell him til at
it was neither patriotic nor good tinancier.

THE COST OF ROYALTY.

The British government is among the
best, if not the very best, on earth. At
home the Englishman is protected in his
personal rights as few subjects are pro-
tected by their governments. The laws
seem to be made and enforced for the
masses. and the meanest individual in the
land goes into court with as perfect con-
fidence that he will get justice as the man
of wealth enjoys. 1t Is certain that no
other nation under the sun throws the same
protecting care over its subjects or citizens
abroad as Great Britain gives to her peo-
pie.
Notwithstanding the excellence of
the government the signs of the over
throw of the nation as a monarchy
are all the time asserting them
selves and making it certain that
within few short years the mighty
empire will be an empire no more. It NAV
even be doubted that the good Queen VIC
ToRIA will have successor on the throne.
The baccarat scandal with its attendant
exposures brought royalty into further
disrepute and gave the Disconnected people
more excuse for complaining against being
taxed for the maintenance of an army of
titled people who are of no possib,e
good to the nation. In the Octo-
Der number of the Forum, LABoU-
cHERE, the brilliant and radical editor
of London Truth, has an article on eng
lish Royalty, its Cost and Uses, in which
he states the situation in few terse SEN
fences, as 1.-THE right divine Of kings to
| rule is a thing of the past" "The contin.

was at once discontinued. This clrcum-
stance gave rise to reports that immense
sums OF money were periodically sent to
America by the Golden club to influence
elections, and the story has been repeated,
enlarged and magnited, at every political
contest since. Recently one THOMAS II.
DUDLEY, formerly United States consul at
Liverpool, gave currency to the statement
that this English free trade society had
sent over 81, 100000 to bride voters in Ohio
and defeat MCKINLEY. y
Mr.. POTTER has always been a warm
friend of the United States. During the
war he stood up for America and
her institutions. He organized union and
emancipation society, strengthened the
hands of HENRY WARD BEEcaE, whom
LINCOLN had sent to England for aid and
sympathy, and contributed $4,000 person
ally to the cause. On visit to this coun-
try in 1879. he was banqueted and enter
tanned In most royal manner BETTING his
character and prominence at home, some

zens delighting to do him honor.
