FATAL WRECK.
One Killed and Several Injured In n Street
Car smash-Up.


TACOMA, Wash, Oct. S.-A shocking
street-car accident occurred about mid
night Saturday in which George C.
Chandler. general agent of the North
ern Pacific in this city, was killed and
several other passengers injured. The
ear was returning from the inter
state fair grounds and was
crowded with passengers. Chandler
and other gentlemen were standing
on the front platform behind the
motorman. AS the wheels struck the
crossing of North Second street the
axle on the front truck broke near the
right wheel. The car left the track,
plunged along at an acute angle to
the right of the rails for a rod and
then fell on it's left side. Mr.. Cham
der, who was then on the steps,
fell underneath the car. The
heavy wood and iron work
struck his face, killing him
instantly aud crushing his head to u
shapeless mass. James +. o. Brien, an
other passenger, was forced down by
the struggling mass of passengers.
The iron roof of the car fell upon his
right leg, pinioning him to the ground
The Others were injured either
by falling from the platform or by be-
ing thrown violently against the
breaking glass of the windows.

WHO ARE THE TRAITORS,

In his speech on the tariff bill Senator
Mills devoted his attention chiefly TO
the ad valorem system and its advan-
tages over the system of specific taxes.
He made an excellent presentation OF the
case, as can any intelligent tarin-re-
former. for IT is a subject that has been
thoroughly presented in every phase. Mr.
Minis. however. overlooked the fact that
the obnoxious senate amendments are
made more obnoxious by the fact that
they provide for specific duties. The du-
ties on refined sugar, coal and iron ores
are all specific In the course of his re-
marks he made an allusion to those
amendments. as follows:
You must come to the confession. and
/ must come TO the confession. We can
not pass our bill without making some
concessions. 1 am between the devil and
the deep sea, and when IL is a question
OF going to the devil by keeping the
Mckinley law or Of going to sea, and as
there must be some favorable wind to
blow me back to land, L am going to
sea.
There is a great deal of force in that
statement, and we believe there is not a
democrat or a tariff-reformer in the
country who does not recognize 1t, but
there is also fatal weakness. There is
n democratic majority in the senate and
there are populist votes that will be
cast for tariff reform. Therefore. If it
be necessary TO make concessions to pass
the bill, those concessions must be made
TO men who claim to be democrats. We
are clearly informed by Mr.. Mills that
professed democrats have placed him be-
tween the devil OF McKinIeyism and the
deep sea OF the senate amendments.
Now. who are those rascals? The demo-
cratic party has the right to know who
is betraying 1t. The senator's who are
innocent cannot afford to shelter them.

the known fraiity OF politicians. that II

are we buying and what are we paying
for them? The people pay and they

Ma one suspects the purchase of Senator
Mills. but he evidently knows who Is
being purchased or ne would not say it
was necessary to make "some conces-
sions''
There has been n very general under
standing that a certain crowd Of half a
dozen men were the guilty parties. but
this explanation is not wholly satisfac-
tory. even If those names be accepted.
It is understood that German. Faulkner
and Brice were purchased by the iron

senators were bought by the tax on re-
fined sugar? And who demanded the
extension of the bonded period on
whisky as the price of his vote for the
bill? What did Hill get? He is conf
monty named among the concessionaires.
but no definite information has been
furnished as to his price. This is an
important statistical fact. The price of
an indianapolis councilman used to be
$50 We have known a member of the
Indiana legislature to be hired to vote
against a suburban street railway bill
for railroad transportation for himself
and family to the worlds fair. But
how much is needed to induce a man
who aspires to the democratic nomina-
ton for the presidency to vote for a bill
embodying the principles which he pro-
fessed to hold? There is an opportunity
here for obtaining useful and eXtraor-
binary information. The decent senators
should not let the opportunity slip.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

Some sort of law is needed to COM

not in the ordinary sense of preventing

probably be impossible, but just simply
to compel them to prevent dangerous in

Some time ago in Philadelphia, while

hard work and expense of several thou
sand dollars TO get him out alive. Nearly
the entire front of the vault had to be

cost days of labor
OF course in neither of these cases
was there any intent to injure any

window was probably one Of those cheer
