The SloCum Catastrophe

Unless early reports are unduly eX-
aggerated, the burning of the excur-
sion steamer General Slocum in New
York harbor is tragedy as terrible
as that enacted within the blazing
Iroquois Theater in Chicago.
This frightful catastrophe will be
the deathknell of the gingerbread
steamboat type of tinderbox YES
sci still prevalent in protected waters,
though obsolete before it was even
designed and utterly condemned by
modern ideas of naval construction.
The fate of the steamer Portland,
lost in a November gale off Boston
haTbor several years ago, settled the
fate of this type as far as ocean
routes were concerned. The Slocum
disaster will doubtless do the same
for all routes.
Whatever precautionary action is
now taken, however, can neither save
the lives nor blot out the sufferings
Of those who have already become
the victims Of mans greed, incompe-
tency. and willingness to take chances
against the safety of trusting fellow
beings.
Whether the Slocum was over
crowded or not we do not know, but
we do know that rules regulating the
conducting of excursions on which
women and children go in great mum
bers cannot be too stringent nor toe
stringently enforced Accidents such
as this can be prevented. The faci
that this one was not prevented
shows criminal neglect somewhere.

Cost of Living.

Every month the Bureau of Sta
tistics publishes the prices Of some
seventy-five articles in general use.
According to the bureaus figuring.
these figures show that the cost of
living for May, 1904, was less than
the cost Of living for May, 1903, a
very encouraging statement until one
takes the trouble to investigate the
process by which It was obtained.
Articles which show a decline are
family beef, mess pork, lard. tea. rice.

Bessemer and Southern foundry; iron
bars, steel bars, steel billets, tin

hemp, sisal hemp, hides of certain
grades, leather of all grades, copper,

Articles which show an advance
are practically all the farm products

steers, cows, and certain grades Of
