The number of railroad accidents oc-
curing this year are we'll calculated to
startle people. At first they were attrlb-
uted to the press OF business incident to
the Worlds Fair and the consequent nee
essity of running trains by sections. But
the frlghtful accident Of last Friday at
Battle Greek, Mich, is not attributable
to this cause and is due to criminal care
lessness or absent mindedness on the
part of the conductor or engineer or
both. 1t was thought that railroading
was reduced to such system that accl-
dents we're we'll nigh impossible except
from natural and unavoidable causes.
Rnt it now anpears that man who trav.
no degree of caution on his part can in.
sure him against fatality. Are railroad
companies growing careless as to the eff.
cheney of their employees or are the latter
overworked? Some inquiry as to th e
causes of these accidents is miperatlvely
demanded by the frequency of their &C.
currence.

IT would indeed be one of the unexpect-
ed things which frequently happen If
Senator Hill should become the leader of
the senate. All that is needed is courage
and Hill has certainly shown this quality
IN the past in disregardlng the wishes OF
the people in behalf of the machine.
What an opportunity Villas has now, far
better than when he made use Of the
cltch sentence "Zwei ind zwei machen
Uer." But Villas follows and never leads.
His caution would make him insert
"nicht' in his favorite sentence, just as
the candidate for the position of teacher
expressed willingness 10 teach that the
earth Is round or fiat as the opinion OF his
patrons should make proper. The senate
needs leader who has no computations
about smashing senatorial courtesy when
the public good demands it. Hill is on
the right track. Even Mills, who came
10 Wisconsin 10 teach us on educational
matters seems 10 have spasm of good
sense. One blast upon little Bragg's
bugle horn were well worth ten thou
sand men" at this time. Re wouldn't
mnce matters and would call spade
spade. 4 smasher of idols is needed in
the senate 10 rattle the old dry bones of
that body.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1893-10-26

The United States senate continues to
make itself the laughing stock OF the
whole world. The spectacle OF q lot OF
men supposed to constitute the most dig
nifed body in the world being bound
helpless by few paper rules and utterly
unable to extricate themselves, is we'll
calculated to make school boys laugh.
Tls not in folly not to scorn fool,
And scarce in human wisdom to do more"
The people are heartily tired OF all
this palaver about senatorial courtesy.
United States senators evidently believe
the functions OF the senate to be the fur
nishing of official equipage for individual
adornment. The senate was created by
the constitution, apparently, to furnish
positions for individuals and senatorial
courtesy takes precedence OF the coun-
trys needs. The actions OF that body are
not unlike the tawdry polish OF funkeys
apipg the manners of their masters
harmless when simply ridiculous, but de-
structive when it comes in conflict with
the interests of the country which are
then treated as subsidiary.
The senate of the United States has
fallen from its high estate and is false te
all it's best traditions. It Is but the shad
ow of what it once was and clings t.
form while ignoring substance. AS a
present constituted 1t has no place IN
representative form of government ant
represents wealth, while being the pro
duct OF corruptipg influences. The rec
ord of its proceedings are sickening, 1t
helplessness provokes contempt while it
air of senile Importance and grotesou
assumption of power cause indignation
when v;gor and promptness are demand
ed. The people should demand the abol
ton OF the United States senate or tn
election of it's members by popular vote
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1893-10-26

IT is somewhat amusing to notice the
comments OF newspapers on the scheme
OF Supt. Wells to make operative the law
providing for free town high schools, the
term to be three months. So fearful was
the legislature of 1893 to enact any law
for the bitterment OF the common schools,
that 1t actually refused to pass any,
thing unless it was labeled Harmless. !"
and there are rumors to the effect that
the present state superintendent was the
person who exercised this censorship.
The Pilot does not wish to do him any in
justice and does not state OF it's own
knowledge that he used his influence to
defeat salutary educational legislation.
The scheme he now advocates Is step
in the right direction, but if it should be
advocated by those who believe that the
state should compel parents to educate
their children when they neglect to do
so, any legislature which Wisconsin may
have for many years to come would flee
from it as from the wrath to come.
The Milwaukee Journal which speaks
with knowledge OF Mr.. Wells wishes. if
indeed it does not give utterance to his
own words, suggests, under the guise of
the "opinion of many good educators
the establishment of these schools by the
state without reference to the peoples
option, but then, like Fear when playing
on the instrument, frightened by the
sound itself had made" inserts the saving
clause that it would be "far better to
have the people move in the matter
themselves But it is quite evident
they will not do SO. They have had
abundant opportunity and have not
got move on themselves" yet. It
would be far better, too, if the people
would look to the proper education of
their children themselves. But what if
they decline to do SO? 1t seems that Just
as soon as an Official in an educational
department Gets ont to do his duty he
runs afoul OF a Bennett law.

New YORK seems inclined to recognize
Chicago's energy and to cease its envious
antagonism to the Fair. tits almost too
laue to benefit the FAIR which has been
an unqualified success despite the oppo-
sitlon of the nations metropolis. New
York has injured itself permanently by
it's splenetic action while failing to &C.
complish It's purpose to make the Fair a
failure. Manhattan Day could hardly be
called New York day 80 far as the char
acter of the attendance was concerned.
New York did not do much more to swell
the number than it should on ordinary
occasions. But the day was success
nevertheless as the Fair has been
without the active support or counter
ance of New York. This country is too
large to be influenced by the pettlsh
grievance of any city, as New York has
learned to it's cost.

The United States senate has finally
concluded to heed the voice OF tho peo-
pie and the bill repeating the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law will be passed
this week. The southern senators who
opposed repeal came to the conclusion
that it would be unwise and unpatriot1c
to longer oppose the wishes of the peo-
pie and so announced to the republican
senator's who we're champloning the sill
yer cause. The country is to be congratu-
lated on this fortunate termination of
the struggle, though the senate by its de-
lay has done itself irreparable damage
and can never regain the confidence of
the people. 1t may do something IN
that direction by revising it's rules 30
that it may transact business and by
dropping that absurd aping of regal pre-
rogative known as senatorial courtesy"

THE death of Marshal Mcmahon OF
France takes from the scene OF activity
man with a past which is gorged with
glory. In the war with Austria, McMa-
hon won fame which did not pale in COM
parison with that of the marshals OF the
great Napoleon. But he shared in the
degeneracy of France and the Prusslan
armies plucked many leaves from his
laurels. As statesman be did not aod
materially to his reputation. He was too
old, too much nodded in the ways OF mon
archy to serve the republic SO as to merit
continuance OF the glory OF his past.
He was always true to France and the
form of government was to him consi-
Iteration second to that of devotion to bis
country. McMahon's honesty was greater
than his military genius and the latter
was by no means insignificant.
