BATTLESHJP ACCIDENTS,

The sinking of Admiral Togo's flag
ship Mikasa in the Sea of Japan will not
merely be deplored by the people Of
Japan, but will evoke universal SYM
pathy for Admiral Togo and the brave
seamen who regarded the great battle
ship with patriotic pride. Quite apart
from the fact that the Mikasa was one
of the most formidable battleships afoat
it had passed the fiery ordeal of all the
fierce engagements of the Russo-Japa-
nese war and had been, moreover. the
center of the greatest naval battle of our
times.
incidentally the sinking Of the Mikasa
in the Sea Of Japan recalls the destruc.
ton Of the Maine I'm the Harbor of Ha-
vana and the more recent accident to the
Bennington on the Pacific coast. 1t has
become an open secret that the destruc-
ton Of the Maine. like the fatal explo-
sion Of the Bennington and the disaster
that has Overtaken the greatest Of Japa-
nese battleships, was not due to any
conspiracy either by the Spaniards or by
the Cubans, but to avoidable accidental
carelessness.
The modern iron and steel-clad war
vessel Of the battleship type may with
stand a terrific cannonade from without
aud yet succumb to the dropping of a
match, the careless handling of kero-
sene lamp OF a defective electric light or
power wire. The suggestion that the
Mikasa might have been exploded by a
Japanese anarchist in sailor garb is
hardly worthy Of serious thought. The
people Of Japan, and especially its brave
marines, may feel disappointed or even
indignant over the concessions made by
the mikado IN the treaty OF peace with
Russia, but it is not conceivable that a
japanese sailor would apply the match
to the magazine of his battleship in or.
der to emphasize his pent-up feelings
The more plausible explanation is that
conveyed through the dispatches that
have reached us from japan, namely
that the destruction of the Mikasa was
purely accidental.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The way railroads can best favor ship
pers is by giving all shippers a square
deal. The greatest abuse of railroad
management heretofore has been dis
elimination in favor Of one class of ship
pers and disfavor toward another class.
This pernicious system had its origin in
the silent partnerships of high railroad
officials in concerns that were built up
and enriched by rebates and drawbacks,
that found their way into the pockets Of
these officials in the shape Of dividends.
This is the secret of the concession
made to the Standard Oil trust, the Steel
trust, the owners Of gold mines, copper
mines the Smelter trust, the Grain trust,
the Sleeping Car trust and express COM
panies and fast freight lines. Incident
ally, n class of favored shippers was
created through the political afflliatlon Of
iobbers, manufacturers and bankers
with the railroad managers who utilized
their influence in dominating local state
and national politics.
The railroad regulation wave that is
SHeeplHB tHe COuhlly 10 Slhpiy Iho iOoS-
ton that has followed in the wake Of
fragrant abuses on the part of public car
riers. Whenever the railroad magnates
turn their faces firmly against the ap-
peals Of favored shippers for discrimi-
mating concessions to which they are not
entitled, and when every patron is placed
on an equal footing with every other
patron, the popular discomfort with rail-
roads will be allayed and railroad regu-
lation will cease TO be a burning issue,
always providing that the railroad traffic
managers shall also abandon the policy
OF charging what the traffic will bear,
instead Of Icing content with fair freight
and passenger tolls.

THE GOVERNMENT cuRE-ALL.
Colonel Bryan Accused of Chasing
False Gods,
Cincinnati Enquirer dem }

Cincinnati Enquirer (dem.).
Colonel William J. Bryan. In his Labor
day address at Omaha, suggested that there
should be In every state a board with
power to investigate every labor dispute
whenever either party demanded II. That's
the old heretlcal story. Whenever there
is a trouble between laborer and employer,
dispute about wages or anything re-
qulring adjustment call in the govern
ment as the arbitrator and peace maker.
The government is everything, according
to those who have failed in every theory
Of political economy they have ever en-
braced. The government, they think must
take charge of the people and run their
affairs for them. 1t Is amazing to hear OF
Colonel Bryan, who has twice been the
presidential candidate of a party the chief
tenet Of which used to be simplicity in
government, running of after such a false
god. How long would a government last
that would undertake the solution OF all
the social problems, all the questions of
morality and all the disputes between
capital and labor? The country is not
going to smash because there is frequent
restiveness between employers and en-
ployes. Government was not instituted to
take charge of matters of that kind. II
our state and national governments ever
get fairly set in that sort of business they
will soon be trying to settle matters of
orthodoxy ip religion. There always have
been labor disputes and there always must
be- The business world is organized In a
spirit OF contention. One side is always
trying to get things cheaper and the other
side wants higher prices. Every house
holder is in imminence OF break" with
the tailor, butcher and grocer, and every
woman is always trying to get under the
fifth rib Of the extortionist who keeps the
department store. or course, the fewer
disputes and strikes there are the better,
but there always will be many Of them,
and government will be complicated and
unwieldy machine when It goes into the
general business of arbitration 1t will
be then that there will be need indeed Of
big stick"
