AS a result Of the recent New
burgh wreck, which brought death
to SO many passengers, the coron-
er's jury has returned a verdict
holding the negligent switchman
responsible and censuring the rail
way company for not employing
competent men in such positions.
1t is so easy to censure a great cor
poration, but votes Of censure have
not in thepast proved to be any
very forcible incentive to reform in
railway methods and management.
The switchman may inthis instance
be deservedly blamed, but some
means Of tracing the responsibility
to the superior officers whose duty
it is to protect the lives Of the
travelling public, ought to be devils
ed.

The small attendance Of the
Worlds fair on Sunday has caused
the directors to decide to hereafter
close the Exposition Oh that day,
beginning July %. The grounds
were kept open on last Sunday and
the entire admission will be used
to swell the relief fund for the
benefit Of the sufferers from the
recent fire in Jackson Park. The
lack Of Sunday patronage was not
due, entirely, IS will probably be
claimed by the sabbatarians, to a
prevailing religious sentiment
which favored a strictly orthodox
observance Of that day. 1t was the
result in a measure, as well, Of the
incompleteness Of the show. A
considerable proportion OF the ex-
hibits were covered up on Sunday,
a number Of the buildings were
closed, no machinery was operated
and persons who entered the
grounds paid full price for less than
a half show. So far,as the manage
ment is concerned, twas simly a
question Of business, and not Of
ascruples." The TRIBUNE, how
ever, is pleased to regard the result
as a distinct victory for the Christ
ian Sabbath-may itssobservance
1ever grow less.

The people will never be satisfied
and Modified until a one-fare rate
to the worlds fair has been grant
ed them, free from all the petty and
abasing qualifications, such as are
now pinned on to the excursion
tickets about to be issued, which
require continuous passages both
ways, have a brief limit, and are
good only on day coaches. Limited
Columbian specials may be run at
any price for the nobobs, but the

Officers and Committees Must File State
ments,
Every officer elected at the recent
election must remember and file his
statement with the county clerk Of
the county in which he resides Of all
moneys loaned, expended, paid or
promised to be paid by him, or by
any one, to the best of his knowledge
and belief in his behalf, in attempt
ing to secure, or in any manner in
connection with, the election to such
office"
Every state, district, county, city,
ward or township committee is like
wise required to file a detailed state
ment of money received and how
expended in connection with the cleo
tion. These requirements are in the
law entitled "an act to prohibit the
corrupt use of money and corrupt
practices at elections" approved
March II, 1893.
Officers elected and committees
serving in the recent election should
look up the law in the files of the

"BUsINESs IMPROVING"

This is the stereotyped announce
ment with which Dun's Review OF
November 18 starts out In specify
ing the indications Of this improve
ment under the several heads we find
the following:
The decrease in the volume Of business
through the clearing houses continues about
the same, and for the past week was 1916
per cent. The failures for the week have
been 324 against 2O6 last year. . =
Commercial bar silver declined through
out the week.
With the exception Of petroleum and live
hogs, commodities are all weaker than last
week.
Present prices compare very unfSvorably
with similar quotations in 1892. "
Petroleum shows the only considerable
improvement, while grain is remarkably
weak, especially when the smaller crop ID
considered.
Surely a blind man can see the In
dications ofimprovement here enum-
Grated.

THAT NEW PARTY WITH THE
SINGLE ISSUE.

issue Of free coinage of silver. The
papers on Friday last had pur-
ported interview with Senator PETER,
in which it was claimed that he
favored such a new organization.
We do not believe that the senator Is
correctly reported in that interview;
but If he is he Will find that the rank
and file of the Peoples party will not
follow his leadership in that direc-
tion.
While the demand for free coinage
Of silver is one of the planks Of the
Omaha platform, it ls the one Of
least importance among them all.
It has come to the front recently by
force of circumstances and has sf-
forded an excellent opportunity for
q general discussion of the whole
subject of American finance; but it
can never be permitted TO sidetrsck
the more important questions ex'
pressed and implied in the new dec
laration of independence adopted at
Omaha on July A, 1892
There may be men in the Peoples
party who would favor the backward
step which the single issue party
would propose to take, but they are
few in number where the principles
of the Omaha platform have been
studied and their import compre-
hended; and we warn any leader OF
the Peoples party now that his lead
ership will be without following
among those who have made the
party what it is, If he shall permit
himself to be led into this snare.
Free coinage of silver If accomplished
and other things left as they are
would do the people no good. It is
only IN conjunction with other meas
ures that it would afford relief. If
we sho uld secure the free coinage OF
silver alone by drawing to the sup
port of that measure all who favor it,
and yet oppose the other measures
which are Of 30 much more import
ance, we should still have In control
Of the government, men who were
opposed to every other principle OF
our demands. The men who now
corner gold, would, under their sd-
ministration, also corner silver, and
the only difference in the conditions
then and now would be that the gam
blers would then have two metals to
speculate in where now they have
but one. Their operations would be
a little more complicated perhaps,
but meme the less successful or profit
able. II republicans and democrats
who are dissatisfied with the action
of their representatives in congress
upon the silver question desire to cut
loose from their former moorings and
launch a new party based upon a
single idea, let them do so. Such
action will hurt the other parties
more than ours; and if they once
separate themselves from their old
