CHICAGO. Jan. H. Another street-car
railway collision at Forty -seventh street
last night. at 1l:s0 o'clock, seriously iu-
jurcd seven persons, one Of whom will
die. A through train on the Rock
Island road, leaving the city at l1:15,
tore through q street car, and each Of
the six passengers and the driver
were buried beneath the wreck Of iron
and wood.
The conductor of the car, John Tay.
lor, and the injured driver, Charles
Saunders, were both placed under ar
rest, notwithstanding the serious
wounds OF Saunders.
The car containing the six passen-
gers was on its way to State street in
charge of John Taylor, conductor Az
he approached the well-known cross
ing he says that he looked ahead and
although the gates were up he saw the
train coming. He claims that he noti-
fed the DRYER to stop, but that as he
did so, some one called to Saunders,
the driver. to proceed, as the way was
clear. Whatever the cause the car
was started and was fairly on the track
when the swiftly moving train bore
down upon 1t.
The car had nearly succeeded in
crossing the tracks when the engine
struck the rear of it and it was over
turned. The force was terrific. The
car was total wreck, and the six pas
sengers were buried beneath the shiv-
cred glass and broken timbers. Help
arrived from the immediate vicinity,
and efforts were made to rescue them.
The six passengers and Driver Saun-
ders were taken from the mass of
wreckage and carried into neighbor-
ing saloon, where they at once received
medical attention. Driver Saunders
was taken to a police station in an un.
conscious condition.

The (silmOur.WeSt Case.

Certainly DR.. West of San Fran
cisco charged with the murder of adj
die Gilmour, has been closely wrap
ped in the net of circumstantial evl-
dence. The statement of student
Plymire would seem to complete n
chain that will be most difficult to
break. But we protest that the
newspaper trial of the man West is
altogether too rapid and not fair,
AS yet it is not proven beyond reas>
sonable doubt that West killed the
girl; or that she died by reason of
malpractice on his part, or that she is
dead. He may be the guiltiest of
wretches, but it is exceedingly dan
gerous to cultivate in the pu bile
mind disposition to condemn
in advance, to find popular
verdict of guilty upon ex parte state
ments.
The cause of justice is best con-
served by publishing news facts with
out any attempt to give them color.
When it is apparent that the news
promulgator is imparting bias to his
recitations, their value is redu ced
among the intelligent, while among
the thoughtless and undiscriminating
judgements are reached and opinions
formed which subsequent trial does
not justify. whereupon an unhealthy
prejudice is kindled against the
courts and the laws processes. Let
the press be content to give the facts
but to reserve It's Judgment as to
guilt until beyond all question and
in court 1t is established. Record
Union.
The points in the above case are
well taken. The habit of expressing
editorial opinions in the local col
umns of paper, is the greatest be-
setting sin of San Francisco jour nal
ism. The editorial page is the place
for opinions and the local page for
facts. II is not an uncommon thing
to see complete transposition of this
idea.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The University has been made a
refuge for political pensioners in
stead of an educational institution.
The University should be entitely
segregated from politics and set of
men placed at the head of it who are
there not merely to draw down the
Government appropriation, but to
advance the educational standard
of the institution.-Carson Appeal.
The APPEAL should not forget that
one of the old political bosses who
sent Trenmcre Coffin East to take "a
look at his cousin was reelected last
Fall by the silver party, and that all
about he cares for the welfare of the
University is to write up the insur-
ance on the buildings, vote for the
political pensioners and handle
the government appropriations FOR
the support of the Experiment Sta
ton.
The Independent has always held
that the State University should be
kept clear from political influences.
Its President and faculty should be
men and women selected for their
peculiar fitness as educators, and not
because they are camp-follovers of
any political party A teacher 50
blind that she could not see across
the recitation room, and so deaf that
the report of a cannon would hardly
arouse her, has been employed in the
State University at Reno. Such
policy on the part of the Board of
Regents only brings the University
into contempt with the people of the
State, instead of making 1t, what it
should be, a grand educational insti-
tuition for the youth of Nevada.
The independent does not hope
for any improvement from the pre-
sent Board, as one of the newly
elected members had scarcely warmed
his seat before he declared that none
but members of the Silver party need
apply TO him for positions in the
University, -Independent.
If the Silver Regent said this it
looks as if he proposed to run the
University as The Republican party
always has.
Who ever heard of any one but
Republicans getting in there under
the old regime?
