So strongly are the British colonies bound
TO the home government by ties of blood
and national pride that no great amount of
faith should be put in any reported move
nent towards Independence. Under the ex-
listing relations between Great Britain and
her colonies no such great provocation as
that which led to the revolt of the Ameri-
can colonies could be given. In South Afri-
ca. however, where the colonies under Brit
ish rule comprise in their population a con-
siderable number of people not of British
origin and hence not moved to any great
extent by feeling of pride at being a part
of the great British empire. II a venture

made a sincere effort to secure independence
at time when the colonists were excited
over seeming injustice perpetrated by the
home government, separation might be ac-
complished- 1t 1t probable. however, that
before sentiment in favor of separation
gained effective strength. the British gov
eminent would make such concessions as
would remove all causes of discomfort with
present arrangements. Yet affairs in South
Africa are Interesting and worth watching

With the awful record for disaster piled
1885. it is rather astonishing that there has
been lack of anything approaching popular
discussion as to the causes by which so
many lives were sacrificed or the remedial
applications that are demanded by those
whose ears are not stopped to the voice of
the innocent blood that "crieth from the
ground" The subject is one in which all
mankind of the civilized sort must s,,raiv
be interested, and there ought to be i'm

contributed TO the Popular Science monthly
By Prof. Lafayette c. LOOMS. The pro-
lessor is not satisfied with the excuses 50
frequently put forth; it is not enough that
the trainmen are oyertaxed or exhausted
or that they were careless or inattentive.
he very properly seeks some other and more
comprehensive cause of these oft-recurring
calamities. Moving parallel with the growth
of railroad construction Prof Loomis shows
that catastropnes rarely result from defects
in the inanimate material used; they have
their origin in human weakness His i'm
mediate conclusion, therefore. is that in the
development of these immense steam
forces We appear to have reached a point
where the brain force undertaking the guild
ance and control has become the fauIt-bear-
ing element, and the more fruitful cause
Of calamity" Such condition cannot be
beyond repair; il should receive immediate
attention. Before proposing a remedy, Prof.
LOomis makes an interesting comparison

One OF the causes of President Clevelands
strong hold upon the regard and confidence
of the American people has been the public
belief In him as a frank, Straightforward.
courageous man, whose actions, based In
variably upon principle and honest convic-
ton. never Stunned the light. but boldly
courted the fullest publicity. The American
people have had confidence In him because
they believed that he had confidence in
them. The administrations unaccountable
course In the Hawaiian affair. characterized
by a complete change Of the traditional
Cleveland manner and policy, could not
have more directly tended to destroy this
reciprocal confidence If it had been de-
,liberately planced to accomplish this result.
Every step in the Hawaiian affair has been
enveloped in a cloud of secrecy. Of suppress
sions, of mystifications. and at the brief in
tervals when tia cloud has been blown
aside the admins :cation has seemed to &C.
cupy an attitude of contemptuous indiffer-
ence toward the American people and their
representatives in. Congress assembled. In
the case OF campaigns of diplomacy waged
against foreign nations the rules of war are
thought to prevail. and to lie and to deceive
become a recognized part Of the game. But
In this case the secret shutting and the
sharp practice are aimed not against for
eigners, but against the American people.
VIII IL be a desirable diplomatic victory of
permanently pleasing results for any Amer
lean administration to mystify, trick and
over-reach the people of this republic? The
policy of secrecy and dark-lantern methods,
which has prevailed throughout this affair,
displays its latest characteristic exhibit In
the shape of the Corwin, sneaking from one
hiding place to another, virtually imprison-
ing officers and men, and repelling Amer
lean visitors as IL they were hostile board
ers. To what end Is all this lodging and
suppressing? Merely to prevent the Amer
lean people from learning what an Amer
lean minister has said and done in their
name in Hawaii. The administration Is
piling blunder upon blunder in this matter.
Mr. Cleveland can make no wiser New Year
resolution than to determine courageously
TO take the American people again into his
confidence, to view no information concern
ing what the republic is doing in Hawaii as
unfit for the republic to know, and to be-
come in this as in other controversies the
bold, outspoken statesman. who, having
done nothing OF which he is ashamed or
which he fears to avow, conceals nothing
from the peoples view.

more men on watch. and two officers on
the bridge and in thick weather often not
less than ten or twelve men whose sole
business 1t is to guard the ship against
outside contingencies; yet it is customary
to run an express train four times as fast
as the steamer in equally thick weather
end with all the care and responsibility on
one man. This one man is supposed to
stand with his hand on the throttle, to
watch the track ahead, to note every ap-
preaching vehicle, every straying animal,
every signal and switch, while in his cab
and demanding continual attention are from
fifty TO seventy-five levers, valves, cocks,
gauges. handles, etc. The professors con-
clusion is that We have been attempting to
force from one human organization a de-
gree of exactitude in the operations Of the
mind which the brain refuses to yield. that
there is no longer any uncertainty as to
where the weakness Of the present railroad
system lies. that safety in land travel. no
less than in ocean travel, demands q duph-
cation Of the officers in charge. Righteously
and reasonably the professor insists that it
ia a libel on civilization to assert that great
railroad horrors are necessary features in
the progress Of the human race. They are
not even accidents. he says. they ARE sim
ply criminal administration" All these
things are true and the remedy deserves
universal support. but railroad corporations
are of the soulless variety and will never
voluntarily lengthen their payrolls to the
extent demanded. Legislation may compel
duplication of employees in some Of the
more exacting and responsible positions.
but legislative action. even when fairly
started, moves slowly against the strong
tide Of cooperative influences, and before
any such reform as Prof. Loomis outlines
achieves tangibility. thousands of useful
lives will be sacrificed to greed.

Missionary effort has wrought many noble
achievements. and its forcefulness should be
credited with great lengthening OF civiliza-
TONS strides, but hitherto there has been
reasonable ground for complaint that too
much Of the energy was expended on the
far-away heather, while suffering ones OF
our own land were permitted to wander
from the cradle to the grave over rugged
and unillumined highway. such criticism
would still be just as to many sections OF
this country, but the areas are becoming
smaller day by day and the excuses for ig-
norance less tenable. A notable amendment
in conditions Is soon to take place. and as a
direct and immediate result knowledge
should spread abroad amazingly and the
dark places of a great commercial center
become light. For many years Baltimore
has been more or less benefited by railroad
connection with the national capital, but
altitudinous fares have rendered difficult the
Widespread diffusion OF civilizing influences
which II was hoped by many would have
been accomplished long before this. But the
DAY of emancipation is not far distant, the
ray OF hope brightens and will soon be bril-
liant enough to cheer the downcast BaIti-
Inorean; the electric railway, which will en-
able him to travel cheapiy to the source of
American sweetness and light" is about to
be constructed, and WILL it is believed, be
ready tor business before the close OF this
year. The small sum OF one dollar will pay

possible excuse for intellectual gloom among
our neighbors. Even the poorest can make
the speedy pilgrimage and be the better
therefor; can enjoy clear atmosphere. broad

trees, buildings most beautiful and an invis-
