yEWARK'S TROLLEY TRAGEDY.

Last Thursdays tragedy has stirred Newark
TO its very depths. The whole community OF
this, the premier city of New-Jersey, is aroused
and there is reason for hoping that from TINS
feeling will develop action to make human lie
safer hereafter The shameful truth is that the
trolley syndicate which controls all the lines
in Newark has heretofore done pretty much as
it pleased 1t was above the laws and beyond
all regulations Men of power in finance and in
politics are heavy stockholders in the syndicate
and their interests have always been safe
guarded no matter how the political wheel
might turn.
Complaints of overcrowding, of inefficient ser
vice and of neglect to take reasonable precau-
lions to insure the safety and comfort OF the
travelling public have elcited-prom1ses. and
nothing but promises. The trolley men nave
seen to it that their friends were put on guard
wherever there was possibility of the public
breaking through and compelling the company
to do something Now that the people are
stirred up, let them stay stirred up until the
trolley syndicate gives practical pledges that no
such calamity shall ever again startle Newark

PROGRESS IN IRELAND.

The last years industrial record in Ireland
presents a gratifying sequel to the conciliatory
report of the Dunrayen Commission Or per-
haps the report Of the commission is the sequel,
or supplement, or consequence, Of the industrial
record. That does not especially matter. What
is Of interest and Importance is that the in
dustrial progress in Ireland which we have
hitherto noted is being maintained In an au-
spicious manner not in any sensational boom"
Of exceptional prosperity, but in such general
development and reha Utilization of industries as
gives best promise of permanence.
To the general rule of good crops and pros
porous industries in 1902 there were two e1-
ceptions. One was the linen industry, which
really seems to be going TO ruin The fax
acreage is now not more than quarter as
great as 1t was thirty years ago. 1t is INSULT
cient to supply the demands Of the linen mills,
and the latter are in consequence compelled
to purchase Russian fax The latter is of in
ferior quality, and so the linen produced is
unsatisfactory, and the final result is that the
whole trade suffers Beyond doubt this is a
matter which Irish farmers and manufacturers
need to consider attentively. The other excep-
ton TO the rule the potato crop, which
was made small and poor by the unfavorable
weather. But that circumstance may really
be blessing in disguise, since it may further
turn Irish farmers away from that Uncertain
crop TO others more trustworthy and more
profitable. Indeed, it is IL such growth Of
other agricultural industries that the most
suspicious features of the present situation are
TO be discerned. Thus there was last year an
increase of nearly 10000 acres in the grass area
OF Ireland, crop for which the climate is
especially suitable. Also, as might be supposed
there was a marked increase in the cattle trade
Exports of cattle in 1902 exceeded those in 1901
by 100000 or more than so per cent The in
and in swine nearly 10000 The trade in dairy
products poultry. and other commodities,
showed a handsome increase. The general con-
dition of trade is indicated in the fact that
