40 JAPAN SOLDIERS DROWNED

by Cable to the N. Y. Herald
KOBE, Japan, %, 1894 frightful &C
cident, in which one hundred and forty
soldiers persisted, has occurred on the
railroad running from this place to
Osaka.
A train of twenty three cars was con-
veying to this city four hundred Jap
anese soldiers, who were returning
from China, where they had taken part
in the military operations. A heavy
storm was raging, and, as the train
was running along the sea wall, on
which the tracks as they approach the
city are laid. an immense sea leaped
over the wall, separating the train and
deralling the engine and eleven cars,
which plunged off the wall into the
bay.
Most of the men in them were drown
ed like rats liz a trap. The accident oc-
CURED at about one o'clock in the morn
ing, and the night was pitch dark. The
sea was running so high that it was
impossible to render any assistance to
the men in the cars that had gone over
board, even had means been at hand
to do SO.
Some of the men who managed to
get out of the cars while they were in
the water were dashed to death against
the wall

A Singing Rebuke.

Referring to the verdict in the Mas
sey-Pilot suit, the Norfolk Landmark
says
There never was a more singing
rebuke administered to public jour
nal than is administered in this verdict
to the Pilot for its effort to profit by
sensational publication founded on
falsehood, and the incidental destruc-
ton of an old and distinguished man
in high official life.
This is a monumental warning to
those who would follow in the path of
such enterprises. This is declaration
of twelve men of Norfolk that public
opinion and law both condemn in the
most emphatic manner this vicious
class of journalism.
The verdict has indicated the State
School authorities from the charge of
corrupt conduct or neglect of duty, it
has cleared the American Book Com
pany from any suspicion of unfair or
extortionate dealing, and it has de-
livered to the libellers sentence which
they will wear to their shame justly for
all time"

the Lynchburg company doing guard duty
there. About half of their number were re-
lieved and returned on Misunderstanding

hoped that there will be no necessity to keep
troops there any longer.

The amount of actual damages to Massey's
character, given by the jury in the Massey
Pilot suit, was only 800. Now, the question
is,-Was it that the jury thought Massey's
character was only worth that amount, or
was it that they thought the chara cter of the
Plol was such as to be unable to injure any

Capt. Page McCarty on John :. Wise.

Capt. Page McCarty, editor of the
Alexandria Times, in the issue of his
paper of last Friday, is nearly as severe
on Wise and Wise was, the day before,
on John E. Massey. He says
Capt. John Wise's speech yesterday
in the Massey trial was exactly what
was expected. He abused Massey in
the same spirit that actuated him to
smack Masseys face some years ago,
and he exploited his own "reminiscences
without taking into account his own
reputation as Republican who de
serted his chief. Gen. Malone. Capt.
Wise said that the plaintiffs were
whimpering, and forgot that he is con-
sidered the most pitifui, contemplate
whimperer in the State of Virginia, a
man who advertised himself as duel
ist and would not fight except on
paper, and a bully whose picture, as
Bob Acres, was set up in Indiana,
where he was billed for stump
speeches. Nobody can fail to appre-
ciate the delicate sensibility that could
feel remorse for thirteen duels on
paper, but when Mr.. Wise performed
the Bob Acres reform he ought also to
have made his remorse complete and
let the old preacher alone. If duel
on paper without drop of blood is a
thing to be repented, why should not
the sublimated soul also learn a little
charity at least towards an old minis
ter of the Gospel? Perhaps Mr.. Wise
knows that the old man is defense
less"

Secretary Morton is winning the ad-

of the office holders by introducing all
sorts of reforms in the Agricultural De-
partment, saving money and abolish
ing offices in most distressing way.
His last achievement is to abolish the
'seed DIVISION" SO that after October
next Congressman will have one per-
quisite less to work with. The distri-
button of seeds was useless, as expert
ence has shown, and $500, 300 will be
saved by Secretary Morton's judicions

including that of one chief of division.

CONGRESSMAN BYNUM of Indiana, in
an address before the Manufacturers
association, in Baltimore, Nd, Jan. q,
said; "The parent of all, however, has
been the effort Of the producer to OBJ
tain an undue increment from the con
sumer. In speaking Of the producer, I
mean that class engaged in the produc
tion for profit, who control and dispose
Of the output; and of the consumer
that class who purchase for consump-
ton, either directly OF indirectly, with
tho results of their toll. The stagna-
ton in cur trade, the great fall in
prices, in my Judgment, is more there
suit of the inability of consumers to
make needed purchases than of any
other cause. The question may be
asked; If there is not an excessive
supply, what has broken down the de.
mand? 1 aRswer, day by day and year
by year our consumers have been PIN
ohed and squeezed until they have
been crushed. We have pursued the
policy Of the man who killed the fabled
goose that daily laid golden egg. The
laboring people, those who toll with
their hands. compose the great body of
our consumers. and unless they have
STEADY employment at fair wages. there
can be no healthy demand-no genuine
prosperity
