The Dangerous Railway Crossing.
(The Railway Rcview.)

The great danger of accident at Cross
ings OF steam and electric railways has
been pointed out repeatedly in these col
umns, and it is plainly necessary that
some more calamities should occur before
street railway managers will appreciate
the fact that they are railway men ana
responsible for the lives of passengers. 1t
would seem that such "a terrible accident
as that which recently occurred at the
Cuyahoga bridge in Cleveland ought to
DC enough to cause, in that city at least,
the operators Of the electric street lines to
use more care and take greater prccaution
than before for the safety OF their patrons.
Only last Sunday, however, car on the
Union street line of Cleveland approached
the hill near the crossing with the Cleve-
land, Canton q Southern Railroad and
stopped at the top of the hill to take on
passengers The car was then started and
was allowed to drift down the hill ap
preaching the crossing while train was
passing over it. No attempt was made by
the motorman to stop the Car until it was

ing district of the Transvaal. OF course
England denies all knowledge or authority
for the expedition, which is in direct
violation OF treaty with the Bocr state
This denial sounds very well, but there
are good grounds for suspecting its SIN
certify. 1t certainly looks like another
trick of the diabolcal ingenuity that
characterized that which was played upon
the old Matabele chieftain. But the
Beers are different enemy to deal with.
Dr. Jameson Is said to have cut the tele
graph wires in his rear so as to prevent
the receipt of any message from England
ordering him back, though recent
reports states that he received message.
His followers are the discontented Eng
lish settlers. who are prevented from en-
joying political rights under the Boer
government. The population of Johannes
burg is mostly made up Of this class,
chiefly adventurers and miners. But the
Beers appear to have anticipated the willy
Scotchman, and now the company, in
whose employ he probably Is and at the
instigation of which he has evidently
acted in this instance as he has in the
past, denies all knowledge or responsibility
for the raid, for such it is. For ways that
are dark the hcathen Chinec isn't in it
with England where land stealing is the
sub jcct in hand.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1896-01-04
A Pleasing Report.

We hope that the report of the surrcn-
der Of DR.. Jameson to the Dutch Beers of
the Transvaal is correct. 1t is difficult to
judge of all the circumstances su rround
ing this African squabble, and hasty con
illusions are likely to be erroneous. This
South African affair is not a new one,
however. These Beers in 1886 passed over
the Orange river, the boundary of the
Cape Colony which had then become the
territory Of England, determined not to
become English subjects. This determin-
alton they have adhered to notwithstand-
ing that they have been compelled to con-
stantly retreat in order to maintain their
integrity. They have retreated as far as
they can and now they are disposed to
fight.
1t is, moreover, we'll known that this
DR.. Jameson, who is said to have sur
rendered, is a plant tool OF Lord Cecil
Rhodes, the great autocratic ruler of
South Africa. Rhodes and the radical
element Of that country have since been
dissatisfied with the act Of the home gov
ernment when in 1881 peace was patched
up with the victorious Beers because it
was feared in England that continual on
of hostilities would embroil that country
with other European nations.
Cecil Rhodes mixes politics with pri-
vate business schemes and he is connected
with numerous land and mining COM
panies. DR.. Jameson is hand in glove
with Rhodes. He is shrewd Scotchman
and thoroughly unscrupulous according
to general belief. In the war OF exter-
mination uIon the Matabeles two years
ago he showed great energy and ability in
J assisting to conduct the campaign. He is
also believed to have been knowing to the
trick which was perpetrated for the pur-
pose Of discriminating the Matabeles.
Two troopers were tried for having inter-
cepted the reply Of the savage chief,
accepting Englauds offer of peace togeth-
er with gold for the negotiators which
had they been received would have ended
the war. These troopers were convicted
but soon made their escape from prison,
evidently not a difficult thing to do under
the circumstances
Now this same DR.. Jameson started
few days ago to lead the discontentetl
English against Johannesburg, town Of

1t should be a matter of surprise and
ground for pride that the Atlanta Exposi-

Atlanta have the good sense to turn to the

from four to five million dollars expended
in Atlanta and vicinity which would not
have been expended there had it not been
for the exposition. That is the right
way to view the matter.
