TIE ROSCOE OUTRAGE.

The train robbery on the Southern Pacific ut
Roscoe was one Of the most audacious ouiragcs
ever planned by the Dick Turpins OF the Far
West 1t was n plot having the potcntlality OF
many crimcs-thc wrccking OF train by the
displacement Of a switch; an armed attack upon
engineer, fireman. brakcmcn, express guards
and passengers; two murders and n series OF
murderous assaults; the destruction Of engine
and several cars, and robbery OF the express
car. 1t involved the employment Of accom-
plices in the rear cars and the combined use Of
rifle and dynamite only the presence OF mind
Of the engineer In promptly reversing the loco
motive prevented n very large loss of life from
the dtchng OF the heavily loaded passenger
coaches. In all It's revolving details 1t stands
almost without a precedent in the recent rec
ords Of railway crime. The Lake Shore rob
bers, who stopped and event through train
In Indiana not long ago, had made more formi-
dable preparations and were more systematic
and busincsslike In their scheme Of terrorizing
passengers and guards and plundering the ex-
press safes; but they were amateur dcSpcradocs
in comparison with these Californian train
wrcckers and maraudcrs
What renders this outrage more remarkable
is the fact that II previous attempt had been
made only six weeks before To hold up Il train
at the same station. The theory that lightning
never strikes a second time in the same place
apparently was accepted by the railway Off
Gals, for despite narrow escape on the first
occasion they took no precautions for prevent
ing the recurrence Of the train-wreckcrs opera
tons. The scene Of the robbery was admirably
adapted to the purposes of the despcradoes
A short spur of track offered facilities for
throwing the train into the ditch: woods close
to the track concealed the presence of the
masked men: there were no ranches or houses
within hail. and an open country promoted the
robbers chances OF escape by hard riding But
favorable as were the local conditions in this
case, the robbery OF a train is never very diff
cult in a sparsely populated district. II is only
necessary for the cOnspirators TO be faithful TO
one another and to have the requisite degree
Of what is known as nerve, and, moreover, to
have selected n spot where train can be easily
stopped. The remaining details are very simple
and REQUIRE no more skill, indeed less II any
thing, than the plundering Of safe or bank
vault In a crowded town that is efficiently pv-
Iced.
The facility with which trains can be stopped

THE BRITISH HOE.SES

direct issue has been made by the House Of
Commons with the Lords on the Parish Corn-
ellis bill. The amendments Of the Upper House
have been rejected by large majorltles, and the
measure practically has been restored to its
original form. This action has been taken
under the stmulative effects Of the uncompro-
missing resolutions passed by the great Liberal
council mt Portsmouth. 1t is justified by the re-
volt OF the Liberal Unionists under the Duke
OF Devonshre and Mr. Chamberlain against
Lord Salisbury's unfnchng hostility 10 the
measure. Whether their influence will be strong
enough to force the Tory Peers to surrender to
the Commons remains to be seen. Lord Sails

opinion, and their judgment in matters of prac-
teal politics is superior to Lord Salisbury's

Justice in the Western States Is obviously too
limp in its dealings with outlaws Of this class.

of the laws Is lax and the courts instead OF
depressing vicious propenstics are educating
