Tho loSs of moro than forty lives nv

The loss of more than forty lives by the
dreadful accident at CovingtOn, KY, yester-
day, appears to have been due to failure of
the men in charge to exercise proper foresight.
Even if the falling of the bridge work could
not have been prevented, some one was seri-
ously at fault in setting large number of men
at work upon it in its dangerous condition.
The contractors themselves paid with their lives
the penalty Of their defective judgment, but
forty other lives were also sacrificed, no warn
ing word having been given to the workmen.
Such q disaster is without excuse.

WHY DEMOCRATS ARE DISMAL.

Mr. Watterson's confession is prcsagc of
victory for Republicans. Defeat in Repub-
lican or doubtful States can scarcely be pre-
dicted with reason when Democratic leader
well informed as Mr.. Henry Watterson
soemnly warns his party: 1.-THE situation
which faces us is most serious situation. 1t
cannot be smeared over with little goose
grease on the one hand, nor carried by storm
on the other hand. 1t brstles with disagree
able facts with facts that will down at no mans
bidding. 1t is beset by dangers, by dangers
which arc both seen and unseen. We
are literally and actually between the devil
and the deep blue sea- between Scylla and
Charybdis and whichever way VIC turn to
whatever point of the compass we steer our
bark the weather thckens, and the prospect
becomes more and more uncertain When the
I" >tar-Eyed Goddess speaks there Is apt TO
be something said worth hearing. but in this
case, under the pressure Of strong anxiety, Mr..
Watterson spoke even more plainly than usual
He confronted Kentucky convention which
was supposed TO be overwhelmingly in favor of
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination. by great personal
effort he secured delegation not instructed,
and was placed at its head with the knowledge

The Ohio Convention yesterday did nothing TO
simplify the situation

DR.. Charles Kendall Adams IN his last presl-
dents report to the trustees of Cornell Univer-
sity makes some references to his recent resig-
nation, but fails to set forth explicitly his rea-
sons for severing his connection with the in
sttution. There was some disagreement be-
tween him and the other authorities regarding
the appointment of new professors, and some
resulting friction. To many, however, this VIII
not seem to have been sufficient to require his
resignation though he predicts trouble IN the
future from the existing arrangement

HINTS TO THE ELEVATED ROAD PEOPLE

HINTS TO THE ELEVATED ROAD PEOPLE
IL is announced that the regular summer
duction in the number Of the elevated trains on
the several lines has been made We observe that
Colonel Hahn, the superintendent, on being asked
IL he did not know that certain disagrccable people
who habtuay travel on his road say that as soon
as the summer lesscning Of travel renders life in
one Of his cars fairly endurable enough trains
are taken of to bring the crowding up TO the
winter standard, and make straps, not seats, the
highest ambition of the morning and evening pas
senger, said that he heard anything Of IT, The
Colonel ought 10 grasp strap at South Ferry
late some afternoon and ride up to One-hundred-
and ffty-G and get better understanding
Of one of the important conversational topics Of
the day.
The idea that the owners of the elevated road
will ever become public charges seems to be
pretty we'll exploded. II that old-fashioned pat
tern OF thrift the ant, ever stops rushing aim
lessly about carrying things that she doesn't want
into places where she doesn't want them and
contemplates the managers of the elevated road she
ought to be- filled with wild envy. Still, the ee-
waited road people do not practice the
close economy that they doubtless will in time.
After ALL the elevated road is a comparatively
new thing. The managers need more time. This
taking Off of trains In the summer does well
enough as far IA it goes, but the time il coming
when, hearing that family has moved ont OF
town ut any time during the year, they will
take of car, and being told that a new family
has moved I'm they will attach new strap. Close
and crafty management Is required to make elc-
waited railroadng pay.
There are other and, IL seems to u.s. legitimate
plans for increasing the earnings Of the elevated
road which do not seem to occur to the managers.

All is uncertainty as yet regarding the Dem
ocratic Convention at Chicago. 1t will prob
ably be composed of s9s delegates. and under
the two-thirds rule 500 votes will be required
b make the nomination. Mr.. Cleveland m-
doubtedly will have majority of the body.
Hc will need, however, about 100 votes more
than those which have been pledged, or as
good as pledged, to him already. The anti
Cleveland forces are proceeding upon the prin-
dple of anybody to beat the favorite, and at
present it is Cleveland against the field, with
every prospect of lively struggle. The dele
gates have scarcely begun to arrive on the
ground as yet. though, and forecasts at this
Aaxly dste are scarcely better than guesswork.
