In these days of railroad wrecks.
Commoner readers will be Interested
in the reminder given by the New
York World to the effect that on
July "a. 1876. occurred the first rail-
way accident Of note in the United
States. 1t happened on the Erie road
then less than five years old. A car
went through seaman's bridge, near
Monroe, Pa. Three persons were kill
ed outright. three died later of their
injuries. The World says This
casualty aroused great interest at
home and abroad. No columns of
matter from the railroad officials
were printed explaining that the ac-
cident was unexplainable There was
no board of commissioners to certify
that everything 1t could find in the
roads equipment was all right. In
suits for damages 1t was established
that the wreck was caused by the col
lapse of cast-iron spoked wheel
The railroad paid the judgments
And straightway the wheel with spok

THE GoLDFIELD SITUATION.
A Dangerous State of Affairs Seems
to Prevail in the Great Camp
Warming From Salt Lake
Herald.

The following intensely interesting
editorial is taken from yesterday
issue of the Salt Lake Herald:
The greatest gold mining camp this
nation has ever known is Goldfield,
Nevada. Situated close to the heart
of great. gray desert. it throbs with
life and activity. 1t is a city, made so
by mans deep rooted love for gold.
And today in Goldfield men are walk
ing about bowed by the weight of
the firearms they carry. Every man
looks upon his neighbor with sus-
picion. The snap of friction match
in a crowd on Goldfield street caus-
es a dozen men to jump and feel in
stinctively for their revolvers.
There is danger of an explosion
at any moment. an explosion that
might cost, ten, twenty. a hundred
lives. The position of Goldfield peo-
pie may be likened to that of men
who sit around magazine filled
with loose powder and smoke pipes.
The powder might not explode-but
spark might drop into it any mo-
ment and blow the smokers into
eternity. A Goldfield man is quoted
as saying: 81 came here to make my
pile and I'm going to make it unless
they carry me out feet first"
There is hardly an hour in the
twenty-four at which men do not live
at the highest tension. hardly an hour
when they lose sight of the fear
that he next moment the shot that
is going to be heard around the world
viii be fired. Yet the men stay on.
All Of them do not stay because they
love gold Some stay because they
love excitement. some because they
fear they would be branded as cow
ards if they left, som ebecause they
hope to profit by chaotic conditions,
some because they have fairly won
what they have and their sense of
eternal justice prompts them to hold
it.
The Herald hopes the situation at
Goldfield will be cleared without re-

or employers. or by either of the war

lieves in the future of the great camp.
Wealth in volume that has yet to be
measured is stored away in the hills
around the city, and some day,
whether it is tomorrow or ten years
hence, it is going to be dug out and
given its place in the comeree of the
world. The Intrinsic value of the
mines will not be destroyed by in
dustrial troubles, The development
can onl ybe deferred
There should be reasonable. mid
die ground on which discordant ele-
ments can safely gather. Dead men
are not an ornament toany commun-
ity. One miner is worth more to
Goldfield than vast cemetery full
OF corpses. May the right quickly
prevail at Goldfield and may normal
conditions be restored without delay
