ATLANTIC CITY WRECK.

THE accident on the electric line between
Camden, N. J., and Atlantic City, in which
over half hundred persons lost their lives is
of those distressing affairs that happen every
now and then. apparently despite careful efforts
TO insure safety. But like most other catastro-
phes after the damage is done people will point
out why it should not have happened
For instance in Atlantic City to-day there are
scores of hotels which are regular hretraps. If
a man was especially to design hotel that would
be fire trap he Id not devise model better
than great many of the hotels at this resort
When such fires do come there will be a great
commoton and an attempt TO lock the stable door
after the horse is out.
The electric road and the rate of speed at which
the cars run an experiment The Pennsyl-
vania Company has the reputation of being one
of the most carefully managed roads in the coun-
try, and It is presumed they used all reasonable
precautions Yet there must be some respons-
bty for the uisaster. Carelessness on a draw
bridge is inexcusable. Reports of the accused
speak of rail ends which failed to lock "by the
width of a mans thumb 1t seems hardly pos
sible that such could be the case, and if true the
company and bridgetender would be deserving
of severe condemnation There may have been
a weakening of material on the cars or bridge,
and this was probably the cause of the disaster.
1t does seem that guard rail should have been
provided on the bridge and had this been done
many lives would have been saved.

party that stoops so low in order to get few

ror that memorable Thursday night after the
1896 election, when the Democrats tried to steal

often is seated in the wrong part Of the court
room, and should be facing judge and not look

ment in trying to perform the duty to the people.
We do not believe the Democrats will derive
any advantage from this "Cansman' affair
whether it comes or not. For the party TO resort
to such methods only shows how little it deserves
TO win. The good citizens of our city cannot fail
to take notice of this serious matter.

Until recently / have seen little in the
press Of this city about the Dauphin
Institute. that organization which has
been formed in this city for the pur-
pose Of educating the adults. The as
sembly has been giving a series Of lee
lures at the High School on Saturday
nights and these are Of such high
character that I think the papers
should take more notice Of them. The
speakers are all prominent teachers or
professors in our highest universities
and their subjects are OF the greatest
interest The Institute as / understand
IT, is for the purpose OF refreshing the
minds Of those who have been out Of
school for a number of years and who
have been unable TO review their old
school books. The project is undoubt-
edly a worthy one, and the membership
Of the local assembly which / believe
Is about two hundred should be twice
that number There is no money max
ing scheme behind the movement and
the only donations asked for are for
the purpose Of securig the necessary
money with which to defray the ex-
penses Of bringing lecturers here. The
movement is worthy of the support OF
the best people IN the city and I hope

DEMOCRATS IN DISGUISE.

THE Democrats will find on election day that

votes to elect the Democratic county ticket and
inperil the success of the Republican State ticket

this guerrilla ticket represents in this county 1t

care of the travelling public. BY closing
the hotels the proprietors have shown
that they regard their establishments
primarily as drinking places, and that
the entertainment of the public is Of
secondary Importance. This attitude
is not regarded as likely to impress the
court with the justice of granting them
licenses in the future.
A prominent citizen says that this
was not primarily a battle of fanatics
or even of Prohibitionists, but the peo-
pie would get an opportunity Of seeing
what the community would be like
without liquor. Il then they desired
to go back to the old condition they
would do so with an object lesson be-
