TIE nLEAN HORROR.

Never before probably, was the breaking OF
q car coupler in a freight train ATTENDED wiz.
such shocking consequences as were WItneeeeu
near OIean on Monday night. 1t is common
enough for such trains to break In TWO anu
for the halves to come together with V1oience'
The partial wrecking OF tank car SO tha1 A'S
contents might escape is infreQuenf, ouI proo-
shlv not without precedent An enormous num-
her Of those cars are hauled about on eastern
rarvars More novel were the ignition OF the
oil with which the car first injured was loaoeu
And the srread OF the flames to three adJdcen'
cars containing gasolene. Even SO, tne Damage
that resulted would have been confined almost
exclusively to property If the accident bad not
happened close to q town OF considerable SIZE
and at an hour when many people were out on
the streets. No such crowd as there prompuy
assembled could have been drawn together on
short notice further out In the country; or the
scene remaining the same, and means OF set
ting fire to the wrecked car not being at hand''
it is doubtful if solitary person would have
been hurt There would have been neither
crowd nor an explosion. By the blowing up OF
one or two of the gasolene tanks fifty or
hundred bystanders were deluged with burning
fluid and something like fifteen deaths ensueo.
Morally as-we as legally the Erie Railroad
Comma pB-mugt he held blameess for the loss OF
life and the painful injuries sustained by surT1V
ing spectators. Iamentable as were the re-
suits, they are attributable to the ignorance
and imprudence of those who were attracted by
the spectacle. For any harm done to its own
employees or to property committed to its care
hv shippers the company would certainly be re-
sponsibIe. To the other sufferers it was under
no obligation expressed or implied. All the
same. every one who reads the story will be
moved by the awful penalty that attached to
nerfectly natural curiosity.

THE COMMITTEE FIRM.

The passage of the Child Labor bill now De
fore the legislature is vigorously opposed by
the Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty 10
Children. In an answer to the objections
raised by this organization against the meas
ure, q committee consisting Of Robert Hunter
Felix Adler. William II. Maxwell and Murray
Williams reiterates It's belief in the neces-
sity for restrictive legislation, with view to
keeping children away from degrading inhu-
ences.
Some of the suggestions Of the society are
looked upon by the committee as worthy or
Incorporation in the bill, which the child labor
committee says has no object further than
the improvement OF existing conditions. That
part Of the bill which looks toward licensing
newsboys and making II unlawful for children
Of tender years to engage IN street business
seems to meet with the greatest opposition.
To the arguments in favor OF leaving well
enough alone" as to the newsbOys and boot
blacks, the committee points to the large per-
centage of boy criminals recruited from the
street, and Dr. Maxwell says:
The strongest argument In favor of placing
the licensing OF newsboys in the hands Of the
school authorities is that the licenses If the law
is passed will be granted only to those boys
who are physically strong enough to engage in
the work, and will be cancelled the moment it
is found that the street occupation interferes
to engage in the business of selling newspapers
will be conditioned by the boys progress in
school. It is difficult to understand the cppo-
sition Of any right minded man to such law.

YANKEES ARE GETTING ON.

Present conditions are not favorable to cor
ners in wheat, in coal or In anything necessary
for the comfort and sustenance of Americans.
Every conspiracy to raise prices Of food, fuel
or clothing to exorbitant figures ought to fall
and is likely to fail But in spite Of the effects
of the coal strike and the high prices OF meats
this republic in the main is buzzing and
hummng with prosperity. There are not near
ly enough engines and cars for the rapid hand
ling Of the large quantities of goods which are
pressing upon the railroads.
The freight congestion is the plainest proof
OF the amazing advances Of the business of our
transportation lines, our mills, OUR shops, our
farms and our mines; and all over the United
States capital is revising its payrols and allot-
ting more money to wage earners This Is be-
yond dispute the most fortunate land that the
sun shines on.

A NEEDED Reform.

same phraseology all through:

THE SITUATION IN WATERBURY.

The murder of policeman guarding wafer
bury streetear and the attempt to murder the
conductor and motorman have aroused the peo-
pie of that Connecticut city TO realizing sense
as the homeiy phrase is, of what is Que from
them In the existing situation. When troops
Were cent TO Waterbury weeks ago to queil the
violence resulting from the strike the Gov
ernor wss generally commended for the prompt
ness with which he had scled and the sound
judgment he had shown in ordering out large
force. But ever since the withdrawal Of the
soldiers Il has been evident that they oRght to
have been Kept On duty longer The spirit OF
lawiessness had not been subdued, but was
merely held in check while thes troops were in
sight. With their disappearance it broke out
again. and has been active at short intervals
ever since The local authorities have been
delinquent from the first, and even now they
are spologetic. But at last public opinion is
rising TO restore order and make existence tol-
erable. At meeting Of merchants an4 other
citizens day or two ago it was resolved that
the tine had come to defy the boycott against
persons using the streetcars, and it is said that
signatures to an agreement for that purpose are
being rapidly procured.
It is not pleasant to reject thHt such q pledge
of nGtual support is necessary to end condi-
ton Of Iawiess tyranny. Yet it Is not strange
: that men whose occupations are such as to ex-
pose them to seflOas losses and perhaps to per-
esnAi danger should hesitate to act slngly. So
long as the authorities are inert they are virtu-
ally compelled to unite and make display OF
strength IN defence Of their rights. II 1t were
not fer many contrary precedents it might be
expected that the workingmen Of Waterbury,
constituting q large element Of the population,
would be eager to separate themselves COM
pIeteiy from the scoundrels who have been pro
voking and committing acts Of violence In their
name. But eve1 yet they have not taken that
course In q convincing manHer. Some OF their
spokesueu have denounced the murderous deeds
done on Sunday. and there has been talk OF

what we may regard as the first fruits or IL are
somewhat startling, at frst sight. The Army
estimates for the coming year are no less Cnan
s172 100000. That we believe. is the largest
sum ever appropriated for the British Army IN
time of peace and It is q sum almost compar-
able with the army estimates OF the great MIL
tary powers. Even that is exceeded Dy tne
Navy estimates which are In gross httle
under S1SO.OOO.OOO, the largest on record IN
neace or war No wonder the outlook Tor the
British taxpayer is gloomy. Yet that same tax
uayer would be the first to grumoie ana 70 wFite
letters to the papers If the Army and Navy were
neglected and the safety and defence OF the en-
pire were imperilled. He may be staggered at
the cost Of establishing a new naval squadron
in South African waters; but what would ne say
if the government after fighting costly war
for the preservation and extension OF the en-
pire in South Africa, were to leave its coSsIs
ynguarded and undefended?
There will probably be numerous quotations
Of Aruold's familiar weary Titan" But the
fact is that the British Empire must be either
Titan or q Pygmy. It must either keep up It's
military forces especially in the naval brancn,
TO point commensurate with its territorial ana
commercial greatness and with the possible
menace that may be offered to 1t by rival pow
ers or it must abandon those forces and put
itself upon the plane Of those minor countries
which exist on sufferance and find their security
in the benevolence or in the mutual JealouSies
of their great neighbors. There Is no middle
course that would not prove suicidal In choos"
ing as 1t has, the British Empire has, we De-
Iieye. done wisely for itself and for the world.
The Titan may be weary. WEAKNESS is neither
sin nor a disaster. But her ears are not deaI
nor her eyes dimmed, she is not regardless OF
right and left and she does not go passiVely
