Corner in Hats.

gave it out that the men would be ex-

in consequence. The hats were the
trouble. There were only about half g.
dozen nail kegs" in the place, and it
was not supposed that the local halter
had any in stock. To the joy of ALL
however, he arose to the occasion, and
was just able to supply the demand.

are socialistic rather than financial. George

ago that Altgeld. rather than Bryan, was INC

counsellor at whose feet sit the sappy younger
politicians of the organization, Mr. Altgeid not
unnaturally looks ahead to Democratic plat
forms on which he may hope TO impress his
own extreme and radical individuality. Ills
real purpose is to induce the Democracy to un,
dertake that paternallstic reHttng OF the social
machinery which he has preached so long with
rather unavailing industry. Government own

which he modestly puts forward for next

ACCIDENTS"

II Is common to call such frghtful disasters
as those of Bridgeport and Bar Harbor "acci-
dents" Railroad managers are fond of that
word 1t lifts from their shoulders load of
responsibility. They like to feel and make the
people feel that all persons who are killed while
trusting their lives TO their care are victims
OF accident" Sometimes they may be. An
accident is a happening out of the range Of rea-
sopable calculation. Travellers by rail and
dwellers in houses are alike subject 10 accident
and no amount of human precaution can guard
against the power Of the elements. But mis-
hap that comes from somebody's failure TO do
his duty is not an accident. Deaths that come
from lack of proper care are not accidental.
When physician kills patient by bungllng
we do not call It an accident but malpractice.
When a railroad officer kills people through
lack Of proper provision for their safety he is
not responsible for an accident, but for man
slaughter. Yesterday in Brooklyn two trolley
cars came into collision and a dozen or more
persons were injured. The reason was that
the motorman left his post and asked green
man to handle the levers. That was no more
an accident than If he had turned on the power
| and stepped Off the car, leaving II to crash
| where it would. It was perfectly preventable
| by the exercise Of ordinary foresight and faith
| fulness. The more terrible slaughters that have
| just Mortified the country did not follow so
Immediately acts Of carelessness, but seem due
to II Just as Enthusiastically. Somebody knew OF
was crminaly negligent not TO know the
strength of the Mount Desert gangplank II
was no accident that it was crowded beyond
| its strength. The railroad company took upon
| itself full responsibility for the strength OF
that gangplank to hold all 1t allowed to &c
upon II. II 1t let two hundred persons crowd
where 1t knew only one hundred could safely
be carried 1t wantony exposed them. If 1t lef
its plank without inspection to make sure 4
had not deterorated from an original ability
to uphold two hundred persons, but took II fol
| granted that because II had held up II would
| continue to do so, a similar failure Of duty 1!

THE IATPTER "FAKE."

An explanation is in order from Mr.. F. W.
Fitzpatrick. He is authority for detailed re-
port of utterances by Sir Wilfrid Laurier which
the Canadian Premier declares to be false.
As assistant architect engaged in building the
new United States Postofice IN Chicago, he
had. he said, invited the Governor General of
Canada and Sir Wilfrid Laurier to attend the
LAYING of the cornerstone next October. Sir
Wilfrid had In reply told him his visit was
most inopportune that the unfriendly attitude
of Americans over the Alaska question made
It impossible for Lord Mimic and himself to
accept the invitation with dignity, and that ne
feared they might be subjected to some public
insult If they came to the United States. Such
a remarkably undiplomatic, not to say often
siye. statement from the head OF friendly
State was received with universal astonish-
ment As The Tribune said. it was difficult to
believe without confirmation that Sir Wilfrfd
had been correctly represented. 1t seems that
he was not, for Immediately upon the publica-
ton Of Mr.. Fitzratrick's statement he declared
that the story was ridiculous
It is something more than ridiculous. IL IS
very close to crime wantonly TO Jeopardlze
the understanding and friendship OF two ma
tons It is important for Canada ana the
United States TO preserve the best or relations
and settle all open questions in the most ami
cable spirit and It cannot be denied that the ex-
istence Of such a feeling as was attributed to
Sir Wilfrid Laurier much more the expression
of It so fatty and irritatngy must seriously
interfere with the mutual confidence and good
will so valuable in delicate negotiation. There
fore 1t rests with Mr.. Fitzpatrick to make some
explanation, II he can, which will remove from
his shoulders the responsibility OF having trifled
with American interests and rlsked stirring
up anger and suspicion between this country
and Canada by the misrcpresenting report for
which he stands sponsor before the public. Per
haps he misunderstood Sir Wilfrid in some
mysterious way perhaps somebody misunder-
stood him. IF so, let know II and fix the
blame where It belongs At present the story
is at his door, and It is for him to deal with
It as best he can. This Is not one of the COM
mon fakes" that spring from nowhere and
have nobody behind them who can be called 10
account Mr. Fitzpatrick IS In sense Gov
eminent officer, If, indeed, he is not formally
in the public service. His visit 10 Sir Wilfrid
was an official one. He was under especial
obligations to do credit to his country In ap-
preaching Sir wifrd and also in reporting the
result of his interview. 1t is "up to him" to
| explain.

IN he recorded The fact that such failures
are far more frequent on railroads than any
mishap reveals-does not lessen the criinihai'''
OF taking chances in dealing with the saie'y
Of human life
Just why the Bridgeport trolley car went OH
the track Is not yet clear hut II would seem
that n high trestle work ut the foot OF graue
invited special precautions against car Jump
ing the track and going off the bridge which
were not taken. light, fast moving 'roNe!
car goes Off the track easily. Many or them
are so balanced that they rock great deaI ana
are likely TO jump at an obstruction or serious
unevenness Of the track. They are propapiy
more subject to this danger than steam rail-
road cars. which roll along the track as de-
cldedly as trolley cars bound. Then, too' troi-
Low road tracks are lighter and cheaper, and
likely to have inequalities. These conditions
were plain enough to warn the railroad man
ayers against leaving any chance FOR jumping
car 10 plunge from the trestle. Indeed, tney
annear TO have noted the danger and were pre-
pairing to put guard rails on the bridge Out
did not do it soon enough. They were 100 ahx-
ious to take advantage Of the summer eXcur-
sion business to wait till all dangers they mad
foreseen were fully guarded against. the Tore
seen mishap occurred before they were ready
for It, and was no more an accident than IL
they had sent the cars running on the string
ers without rails 1t Is said also that the dan
ger of speeding down the grade to the tresue
was foreseen and an order given regulating
the rate But there are orders and orders.
Our streetcar men have orders about their
speed which the companies practically force
them to disobey in order to make the trips re-
oured Of them Was the Bridgeport order
perfunctory one or was II issued with such
dstinctness that n motorman understood the
danger as we'll as his superors? The apparent
willingness Of the managers to take chances
with guard rails does not carry much confidence
in the strictness Of discipline necessary to pro-
tect passengers.
Apparently the transportation companies both
in Maine and in Connecticut were trying to do as
much business as possible the least outlay,
and were straning the plant they had pre-
pared One was hurrying 10 use Its line be-
fore the last touches had been put upon IT,
The other provided what It knew to be made
ouate ferry accommodations for the crowd 1t
placed on the wharf. and thereby provoked the
rush of many people to be early aboard. Even
II the gangplank had stood the test there would
have been a serious failure of duty. Now that
the gangplank broke, It will not do to say that
the overcrowdng so invited was the cause OF
an unavoidable accident"
