FREE ON 10000 Bali

It does not seem to be quite right
that the man whose disregard Of law
resulted in the death OF Ave helpless
people should be at large on bail. The
coroner's jury in the case Of the
drowned passengers of the ferryboat
Chicago, sunk at New York ON October
81, returned a verdict that the dead
passengers died by asphyxiatlon by
drowning owing to the fact that Will
liam Durham, pilot OF the feIryboat
Chicago, disregarded a signal from the
City OF Augusta and proceeded to cross
the latter's bow in violation of the
rules In such cases" Captain Dur
hams bail bond, $4,000, was continued
although he thus stands charged with
killing five people who had no defense
against his assault upon their lifei Nc
doubt there will be a rigorous, techni.
cal and befogging defense If the case
ever reaches trial. Let It be evaded as
It may, the fact remains that the navi.
gator who disregards the regulations
that exist solely for preservation o
life is a murderer II his disregard re
suits in death Of his passengers. He Il
NOT as much entitled to coddling an,
consideration for his person and com
fort as is the man who slays in ange
or even the numbering highwayman
who strikes his victim face to face.
The captains Of those old ferry tub
at New York are. most Of them. habitu
ally careless and assume apparent own
ership OF the harbor. They take shor
risks Of hundreds Of thousands Of live

We find. on inquiry, that many mem
bers Of the Delaware Peace Society
were panied upon reading the notice in
our issue Of the 22d instant in relation
to a pamphlet recently issued under the
name Of the society. for the reason that
they neither agree with the opinions
expressed in the pamphlet in question
nor did they contribute anything to-
ward defraying the expense OF getting
II out. Furthermore. so long as the
matter has been called to the attention
OF the public. they wish it to be under.
stood that the pamphlet was issued
without any authorization or con.
niyance on their part. and that nc
meeting OF the society was ever called
for the purpose Of authorizing the pub.
lication Of the pamphlet. It is un.
necessary to mention the name.
