Railway Killing.

The alarming series Of railway disasters threatens to
be continuous. The public scarcely RECEIVERS from the
shock of horrible wreck before there another

story, stories, of killing and mangng in collision
deraiment Last year all records for railway accidents
broken This year grewsome record is still
being established.
So frequent the horrors that the public has to
great great degree become hardened to them. Official
Investigations becoming merely perfunctory and the
blame and penalty are very seldom fixed.
The report of the Interstate Commerce commission
just issued for the year ended June 80 shows that the
total number of casualties to persons the railways
94,2O1, of which 1O046 represented the number killed
and "a, l55 the number injured.
These figures do not appear appalling they ought
We used to them But the fact is that great military
campaigns have been fought and the desnes of nations

sacrificed to the railway juggernaut of the United
States.
Our continually occurring disasters as compared with
the almost absolute safety of railway travel in England
would be astounding, not hardened to them.
And yet comparison with England is unfair, because
of great mileage far larger number of employees
less perfect roadbeds and stretches of single
trackage 1t not be hoped that our railway system
will for many years to be compact and perfect
that of England.
But many glazing defects, through which lives are
daily being sacrificed could be remedied.
The block signal system, where rgidy operated has
saved innumerable lives. 1t can be extended.
The smashing Of common coaches into kindling wood
while the Pumans and private cars of officials come

may be intellectually increased by the proper construction
of all cars.
Some of the worst of wrecks have been due to
the 'buckng' Of eight trains The national safety ap
pance law contains provisions which, if observed would
render ''buclng' impossible.
Blunders of railway employees not always due to
careessness ncompetency Long hours and overwork
have much to do with them.
Remedies for the commoner of disaster not
far to find But they cost money. And long as the
public olerates the railways saving of money the sac
rice OF lives, the railways likely to remain content
The public has power to compel the adoption of all
these clearly demonstrated remedies When this power
is exerted travel will be far safer than is now 1t up
to the public and its officials Nothing is to be gained by
railing at the railways when coroners and courts fail to
fix the blame
1t must not be forgotten either that large part of the
list OF dead and injured is made up of trespasser upon
railway property And the general carelessness of the
American people makes another heavy contribution to
the annual list Of casualties

The Venezuealian government
does not seem to be altogether to
blame for the recent unpleasant
ness growing out Of the differ
ences existing between the gov
ernment and the Asphalt COM
pany. The originators of this
company were granted the asph-
alt bed with the understanding
that they would dredge river
and construct canal. Neither
of these requirements have been
complied with and a decision has
recently been given against the
company for damages for causing
the recent trouble.

The fight on between the peo-
pie of Philadelphia and the city
government over the leasing of
the city gas plant is one of the
most unusual transactions ever
contemplated in an American
city. Although the people are
so strongly opposed to the meas
ure that there is talk of a viga-
lante committee, the officials are
determined to deliver the goods
to a company for a lower price
than has been offered for the
plant. It is claimed that the
council will even go so far as to
lease the plant over the veto of
the mayor. 1t is a case where
there are many millions involved
and there is every indication that
the officials have been bought
outright.

PANAMA CANAL IN FOUR YEARS.

M. Bunau-Narilla, former
representative of Panama, in q
recent address before the French
academy of sciences stated that
a lock canal could besbuilt across
the isthmus in four years. The
canal can afterwards be lowered
to the sea level without serious
interference with the commerce.
The lock canal would have a sum-
mt height of 100 feet, which
would be sufficient until the de-
mand of commerce would be much
greater than they are likely to be
in the next few years.
These are the views Of an ex-
pert and deserve attention. He
is a man of ability in the particu-
lar field in which he figures in
this instance. For years he was
connected with the engineering
department of the Panama canal
company under the French re-
gime. The French academy at
least takes him seriously. 1t will
be enough for Americans to con-
slider what he says.

The talk of peace probabilities
between Japan and Russia which
was going the rounds some time
since seems to be a thing of the
past. There is nothing to indi-
cate that either one of the warning
nations ever considered that
peace was even probable at this
stage of the war.

There is no doubt but that the
days of the granting of fran
chises, in a great measure, have
passed. The people are waking
up to the fact that in granting
these franchises millions are
given away. With a city the
size of Chicago adopting munich
pal ownership great impetus will
be given this idea of the people
operating those things that be-
long to the masses.
