Tho explosion on tho whaleback
steamer Christopher Columbus was tho
direct result Of crowding on steam in n
race. In such n contest passengers
want the boat they arc on to win, and
they do not stop to consider what may
happen.
In the old days Of racing on tho Mis-.
siaaippi, passengers, worked up to n
point OF enthusiastic frenzy, looked on
unconcerned rs hams, aidos Of bacons-
anythingthut would bu.n-wcre thrown
in tho raging furnace to make moro
steam. Some OF them ncvor know
which boat won.
Passengers arc to blanc for encour-
aging racing. Owncrs are to blame for
permitting it. Safety rather than speed.
ahould be tho objective point. Speed
inconsistent with safety should DO n
felony.

Mr. Blackburn. Of Kentucky, then In
tho house, GRATED against the ugly
thing. declaring that the President
should be impeachod. Now President
Cleveland goes to Duzzard's Bay for tho
summer and nothing is said.
OF course not. There is moro coin
mon sense in tho country now than
there was then. Things don't run at
loose ends because the President Is not
swel,cring in Washington, and the peo-
pleare willing that he shall have all the

Nobody wants to keep tab on the

except in his heel. That useful part OF
his anatomy is %spraincd so that he can.
not call on Governor Hastings or any
othcr member OF tho oppoaition which
is arrayed ugains. him in a highly war.
like attitude.
III mythology there is a notable char.
acter who was all right except as to his
heel. We refer, Of course. to the late
distinguished Colonel Achilles, whose
physical prowess was the wonder OF his
time. Raised as a girl among girls,
Achilles assumed his place among men
atthe right time aud played havoc as he
went
His triumph over Hector, whose body
he dragged thrice around the walls OF
Troy, ia remembered to this day.
Flushed with victory. he dared every
thing and accomplished wonders.
They couldn't down him, for he had
been dipped in the river Styx aud made
in~yulnerable, except in the heel, by
which he was held during the dipping
process.
The heel OF Achilles was therefore his
weak point. Paris, who may have
been the Hastings. or the Martin, or the
Chris Masee OF his day. go5onto this,
aimed his arrow Mt the vulnerable point,
and caught Achilles in the heel as he
was making a bold dash for the scTan
gate. That was tho eud OF Achilles.
The question OF interest at this mo-
ment is. Is Colonel Quay advancing to
the Scran gate Of Pennsylvania politics?
/. Yet n little while and events will answer
this momentous question. Agreat deal
hangs on-Colonel Quay's heel.
