"On the Eve" the complete drama
published In Transatlantic Tales for
March, is not only an exceedingly
strong piece of work from the ar
tistic point of view, but gives a won
derfully enlightening picture of the
present awful conditions in Russia.
In it we are shown, by one who
knows, the remarkable organization
apd heroic sacrifice Of those who are
pouring out their blood for Stree
Russia. Upton Sinclair, author of
"The Jungle" says: 81 read it with
intense interest; it is right out of
the heart of the furnace. So far as
my reading goes, it is the best thing
which the present crisis has brought
out in Russia"

Home Rule.

AS our readers know, this paper
is firm believer In the principle of
ocal self-government. We believe
that in every county the people
should elect their own officials by
free vote and O fair count, and the
majority should rule. In former
days, when the democratic party
stood higher in popular esteem than
is now the case, the democratic party
ss whole believed in this doctrine {;
but in recent times that party has In
this State discarded this principle
and adopted the plan Of trying to
run everything by means of ma
chine at RaIeigh-Times.

DR.. Hamilton declared it to be- his

BILE of realizing the nature OF the

TWENTY THREE DEAD
MORE THAN FIFTY OTHERS IN.
JURED, EIGHT TERRIBLY, IN
CALIFORNIA WRECK.

fraln Going Forty Miles an Hour
Dashes Through an Open Switch
and the Seven Forward Coaches
Arc Completely TeIescoped or
Smashed to spIInters-oceupants Of
PuIImans Escape Death or Injury.
Cotton, CAL, March 29.-As result
of the disastrous wreck of the west
bound Southern Pacific Sunset en-
press in the East Cotton yards twen-
ty-three dead bodies lie in a local I'M
dertaking establishment, eight terribly
injured are in the Cotton hospital and
more than fifty others whose hurts are
less serious have been taken to Los
Angeles on a special train. The dead
are Albert w. SHE, mail clerk, Los
Angeles; George L. Sharpe, Muncie,
Ind; F. I. Walters, Sacramento, CAL,
Southern Pacific fireman, and twenty
Italians of New York and New Or
leans on their way to San Francisco.
The wrecked coaches were hurled
in every direction, the three forward
ones being completely telescoped and
hurled to one side, while four others
we're smashed to splinters. The help
less passengers were torn and cut to
pieces. Death came to score OF
them instantly. Many were dismem-
bered and impaled upon pieces OF the
wrecked cars.
Out of about eighty Pullman pas
sengers there were but two who sus-
tanned serious injury. The three Pull
man coaches and the diner, which
we're on the rear of the train, did not
leave the track. The occupants OF
these cars were practically unframed.
| Switch Was Left Open.
The derailment of the train was
caused by the crew of switch en-
CINE leaving switch open at this
point. After the switch engine had
passed onto another track the engi-
| neer asked the fireman if he had re-
thrown the switch. The fireman re-
called that he had neglected to do
so and the engineer whistled fran
tically for Yard Switchman Morrison
to close it. The signal was not given
in time, as Morrison did not reach the
switch before the Overland had
plunged through and been derailed.
The train was nearly twelve hours
behind time. At the time OF the dis
aster it was running at a high rate OF
speed in an attempt to make up time.
There was absolutely no warning OF
the impending catastrophe. The en-
gineer saw the signal of the open
switch when but few rods distant
from it and had no time to sound even
a whistle of warning, much less tt
reverse the throttle or set the brakes
He called to his fireman to jump and
they both leaped wildly from opposite
sides of the engine.
