THE DAWSON TRAGEDY.

Not in q long time has so great a loss of life
been caused by a railroad accident as that
which occurred at Dawson. Western Pennsyl-
vania, on Wednesday evening. Scarcely fewer
than sixty deaths are already chargeable to the
disaster. and the number will doubtless be in
creased during the next day or two. Lament
able as such an event would be at any time in
the year, 1t is In peculiarly sombre contrast to
the joyous spirit of the holiday season. on the
eve of which it happened. Again. 1t is fmpos-
sihle to conceive Of more agonizing mode of
terminating mortal existence than that by
which most Of the victims met their fate. The
immediate agent was escaping steam from the
wrecked locomotive, and nearly all Of those
who were killed were in the smoker, which was
lodged on top Of the engine
Upon q road so admirably managed as the
Baltimore and Ohio 1t would not seem possible
that tragedy Of such proportions could be en-
acted Indeed. the cause was unusual and per-
haps unprecedented. The accidental loosening
Of the bonds Of a lot of timber on freight
train left an undiscovered obstacle in the path
Of the express. Whether or not it will be prac-
ticable to find the particular employe who thus
insecurity fastened these logs in their proper
place is extremely doubtful. One would like
TO believe that he was unconscious OF the i'm
perfecuons OF his work. In any case, however.
II leSSOu udS DeeQ aHOrQe0 TO the world
OF the righteousness Of performing thoroughly
what may look like a prosaic and trifing duty.
Had some one yet unidentified been little more
painstaldng in his service every passenger on
that Duquesne express might to-day be alive
and happy.
The horror OF this awful business IS in a meas
IRE Offset by the human virtues which the latter
called into play. The pluck OF the injured pas-
senger who found his wav from the wreck to
Dawson, the sagacity and enterprise Of the
young woman who had charge Of the telephone
exchange there IN disseminating the news to
local doctors and officials, the quiclness Of the
response 10 this sudden appeal, the activity
displayed Mt Connellsville in organizing the
work OF relief and rescue, the efforts of the in
jured baggagemaster and dying conductor of
the express to warn other trains which were
approaching-these and kindred exhibitions Of
benevolence and heroism in a great emergency
arc lovely to contemplate.

DREYFUS AGAIN.

The world is weary of the DreyfIs case. It
has long been weary Of it, with its interminable
patter about bOrdereaus and petit bleus and
Patty du Clans and chooses iugees and what not
Yet we assume that the world, or at any rate
the thinking and justice loving part Of IT, will
receive with satisfaction the announcement that
the Dreyfus Commission has unanimously rec
commended a revision OF the case by the crimi-
nal branch Of the highest court in France. That
VIII mean reopening of the whole case. But
It viii probably not mean any such scandalous
sensatiOnalism as that which marked the trial
at Rennes, not to mention the monumental
mockeTy Of justice in the lola trial We shall not
DE weGried unto death almost with the tedious
tribes and trihing that have marked former
stages OF this unhappy case The Court of
Cessation is not a raree show.
There is room, however, for some question as
20 whether the finding Of the Court Of Cassa-
ton win be final, or viii mean merely a re-
manding OF the case TO another court martial
Both views are held and expressed by authori-
lies. Some hold that rhe Court of Cessation is
supreme and is competent TO dispose finally Of
The case. Others are equally positive that Drey-
fus, being military officer is amenable for
military offence only 10 a court martial and
that the Court Of Cessation can do nothing
more than TO order retriaI by such a court
and IS, we believe, quite without precedent In
the annals Of French Jurisprudence. II would
be rash 20 predict, therefore, how 81 VIII be de-
cided, the more SO as French procedure varies
20 greatly from our own. But It may ar least
be said that the weight OF opinion and the
weight OF argument and reason, too seem to
be on the side OF the fnality Of the decision OF
the Court OF Cessation.
The whole case is an impressive illustration
OF the fact that nothing is ever settled com
pleteiy end satisfactorily until It is settled
right. That is truism. but # is often wofully
disregarded Now. # is perfectly obvious that
the Dreyfus case has not yet been settled right
Much was gained for justice by the Rennes
trial. yet. on the whole, that trial was q sad
miscarriage Of Justice. Dreyfus must be either
guilty or innocent. II guilty, he was treated
with far TOO much leniency at Rennes II IN

that court. by unanimous vote OF the forty-ave
members, pronounced him innocent. But then

Slow but 1t is not so slow, after ALL 1t has
the advantage OF being able 10 get around an

minutes on the bridge the whole line of traffic is

and perhaps, like the tortoise. win the race
while the hare is taking its wink Of sleep.
1t is a great pity to have the new bridge left
practically useless for many months. The city
could we'll afford to give a temporary franchise
for a merely nominal consideration, safeguard
ing it so as not to confer any exclusive right
or give a company anything which the city
would have to buy back. Anybody willing TO
run stages should be encouraged to make low
rate of fare, so as to attract patronage. This
he could not do if subjected TO any heavy
charges, for the cost of equipment Of line
would be large in proportion to the prospective
earning power, in view of the ultimate intro
duction of trains, which would drive the stages
out of business. The city officials will do well
to take this subject up and see what can be
done TO give the Williamsburg people immediate
rides to New-York.
