PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 10
Henry Wright, whose memory Is being

came to this country ut an early age,
taking up his residence in New York
City, where he became a member OF

ENGLAND AND UNITED STATES.

The American confines himself to his
continent. He takes no part in the
scramble for Africa. He does not want
Constantinople or Egypt. He has no
designs on India or on railways to the
back door of China His Monroe doc
trine, though often extensively an
nounced, only means that he wants to
be let alone. This, to those who recog-
nize his tremendous power, must APP
pear on the whole an amiable and for
tunate frame of mind. We believe We
may trust the good sense of Britain to
let him alone and we hope that in spite
Of some loud hobbledehoy talk he will
have the good sense to let Britain
alone. Disputes there will be, Out the
existence of a competent court to set
tie them will call forth the law-abding
instincts Of the Anglo-Saxon mind
These two nations, that parted in
wrath and blood, may find the path Of
perpetual peace and, dropping their
olive leaves may leave trail that less
happy peoples may ultimately find and

A VICTIM OF THE TROLLEY.

Baptiste Abadie, the motorman Of
New Orleans trolley car. who was ar
rested in New York a few days ago
while about taking tn. steamer %
France, is himself a victim to the
trolley who will probably never re-
cover from the effects of running over
and killing child An investigation
of the accident showed that Abadie
was free from all blame in the matter.
The boy whom he killed, Dario Baltar.
an only child, and but seven years of
age, fell under the hind wheel OF
ADadies car while he was running
from some companions. 1t took nearly
two hours, however, to raise the car.
and il was finally done only by means
or jacks. The crushing and grinding
OF the boys bones, and his grooming
while they were lifting the car, COM
pletely unnerved Abadie. He was ar
rested as is always done, and placed
under bond; but the accident 50 preyed
upon his mind that instead of waiting
for the investigation, which would have
cleared him, he fled in disguise, deter
mined to bury himself in petty village
IN France. His arrest was merely a
formality to protect his bondsmen, and
he will be released the moment he is
brought back TO New Orleans; but his
companions all say that he has never
been the same man since the accident,
Gut seems constantly haunted by t..
And they say, further, that no motor
man who has run over and killed any
one ever fully RECEIVERS from 1t, or is
able to handle the brakes again. Har-
