HoRRIpLE ExAMPLE.

The terrible affair at Harrisburg, Pa, of which an account appeared in the papers Thursday morning, is another competency or carelessness. Again, as in the famous Charge of the Light Brigade the explanation is that ''some one had blundered,' and that blunder snuffed out half a hundred or more human lives. and maimed and crippled probably twice that number. Men will go through life deprived of parts of their bodies. and widows and orphans must suffer because their na- tural protectors have been taken from them.
 Of course some one was to blame. It is not conceivable that such a ter rible catastrophe could occur and no enc have failed to do his duty. Such happenings as this are not the result of blind chance. They are not acci- dents in the proper sense of the word. There was one who failed to do his duty, one who was negligent or in- competent It is possible that there was more than one, but there was a blunder and grim Death, like the wolf on the fold" settled down on scores of unfortunates who but a mo- ment before had no thought of dam ger and dreaded no evil.
 Who was to blame may never be known. He or they may be among the ghastly relics of destruction. and the one who failed to do his duty at the right time may be beyond human cen sure or human punishment We know that train loaded with passengers could not crash into a car of dynamite in the dead hours of the night if all connected with the service had done their duty. Somebody gave wrong or ders or neglected to give the right ones. Somebody forgot, neglected or disobeyed orders. Whatever and wherever the fault may be the result is seen in one of those catastrophes which occasionally horrify humanity, but are soon forgotten except by the actual sufferers. There ought to be a remedy, but who is to apply 1t?

 James H. Hyde, the storm center of the Equitable light. is reputed to have the most splendid stables in America. There is a special room devoted to the harness, spotless and shining as table silver.

THEY ARE COMING.

The Chicago Journal has discovered that we have the hoopskirt in our midst every twenty-five years. It claims that they were here in 1855 and 1880. and consequently are due to arr rive and surround the gentler sex this year. So far as this section is con- cerned the things were not prominent at the latter period mentioned but they were very much in evidence dur down on us again during the present year. If fate and fashion have so de- creed it is not for mere man to ob- ject. for whatever the women deter mine on must come to pass.
 The Journal wants to postpone, en- join or appeal to higher court, but it would be useless. No postponement of what the women have decreed will be effectual. No court can issue an injunction that would stand against woman's determination. There can be no appeal to a higher court for no such court exists in this free land of ours. It is useless to struggle against fate. If the women choose to envelop themselves in voluminous combina- tions of steel. whaIebone and crinoline they will do it. and all that man can do will be to stand off and watch the procession. Incidentally he can pay the extra bills. We think we already sec the spectacle that will be presented by the street. cars when the fad is fully established. and suggest that broad platforms be built on the sides of the cars so the men may have room to stand. Something must be done, and it should be done in time.

New York has evidently come to the determination to break up the gangs of Sunday hoodlums who invest the elevated cars, throwing stones, cutting bell cords and otherwise annoying people, jconducting themselves, as The Brooklyn Eagle expresses it, in a way that Zulus or Comanches would be ashamed to do. Thirty of them were arrested a few days ago, and fifty on another day, and if they are prop erly punished and the authorities will keep 1t up they can put stop to it. It will be well if they do, otherwise a point may be reached where forbear- ance will cease.

The Huntsville Democrat says.

Montgomerys municipal election passed off May 2. with only 497 votes boiled and the entire ticket of the Democratic party elected, as there was DO opposing candidates. For our Cap 1tal city to poll only ys97 votes looks too apathetic and indifferent on the part ot enfranchised citizens, and is a dangerous precedent for Democrats.
 Of course this is due to the lack of D vigorous opposition party. Tnere are not less than 5000 white men en- titled to be voters in the present cor porate limits of Montgomery. A great many of them have never registered and many of those who have registered neglect to pay their poll tax and thus nisfranchise themselves. About 2,sOO votes were cast in the Democratic pri- mary and the question of Mayor and Aldermen was settled then. Every s4nan, however, entitled to a vote should have cast 1t at the regular elec- ton.

Curfew to Ring in Pratt City.


 The Pratt City Woman's Club has won a great victory, and curfew will officially ring every night hereafter in Pratt City. All youths under IS years of age must in that. prosperous city be at home not later than S:30 o'clock on week day nights, and not later than 7.sO o'clock on Sunday nights. Their parents can take them out for an air ing at later hours, but if they attempt to get ozone unchaperoned they will bring up in the city jail The Mayor and the chief of police and the Wo- mans Club will see that the ordinance IS executed to the limit
 Curfew rings in about 800 American cities. and Pratt City's ordinance is by no means tentative. Curfew laws are excellent, provided they are rigidly and consistently enforced It Is the unen- forced curfew ordinance that is a nuis- ance and an injury. Pratt City's cur few law will be above criticism as long as it is enforced, but when it stands on the citys statute books un- respected and forlorn it will be worse than no ordinance at all All depends upon enforcement

 The erstwhile downtrodden farmer of Kansas, according to the latest report of the State Bank Commissioner, has over $IO0,000, 900 in the bank-more than he ever had before. The State Is crying out for 10000 men to harvest a bumper wheat crop.
