PLEASURE SEEKERS KILLED
IN A RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Horrible Catastrophe is Caused by
Freight Train to Obey Orders.

Salem, Mich. Thirty,one people are
dead and more than seventy injured,
many of them seriously, as the result
of head-on collision between this
village and Plymouth, when a Pere
Marquette excursion train bound from
1onia to Detroit. crashed into a west
bound freight In a cut located at a
sharp curve of the Pere Marquette
railroad, about mile east of Salem.
The passenger train of eleven cars,
carrying the Pere Marquette shop
employees of Ionia and their families
TO the Michigan metropolis for their
annual excursion, was running at
high speed, probably fifty miles an
hour. down steep grade. 1t struck
the lighter locomotive of the freight
train with such terrible force as to
turn the freight engine completely
around.
Responsibility Is put square upon
the crew of the freight train by Off
cials of the road. One of those who
arrived at the scene of the wreck
soon after the accident secured from
the crew of the freight the orders un-
der which It was running, and which
clearly showed the position of the
passenger excursion train, and that
the freight had encroached upon the
other trains running time.

sold them for a few pounds to an
Arab trader. There are about a doz-

soME FooErsH HIeH FINANcr.

A man went into a Rochester bank the other day and demanded s3, COG, 900 in bonds. He was promptly collared and Is supposed to be insane.
 This man is probably not insane, but he Is foolish, which is about as bad. If he had got into his right place before he become foolish he would have been all right, He evidently had in him the making of High Financier. He want ed $S,0O00O0 in bonds without paying anything for them, and he took fool ishly simple and direct way of getting them. Another man, who is so success ful that he is not supposed to be eith- CT foolish or insane, wanted $30,O00, 900 in bonds without cost to himself, and be- ing in the right place he had them made and issued. The line between fool ishness and smartness in High Finance Is very definite, and If the Rochester man is not too old or too foolish to learn he may yet be, able to get on the smart side of the line and get his SS,- 1000, or even more, for nothing,

Ter from his accustomed haunts, for that he did flee admits of no doubt. It was insolent in him to assume any thing as to the governments subpoena other than that 1t was his duty as law-ablding and Christian gentleman to make it easy for the government to serve it upon him. It was the insolence of a power born of great possessions and an lnsolence which has done great damage to this country. It was welch- ing to give the marshal the hand of hospitality after he was caught. The world would have liked him better had he taken his medicine like man in- stead of soft soaping the official doctor in attendance. As it is the impression which has been made by this episode recalls the illness of the devil which made him long for the goodness of the monk and his metamorphosis into the devil again when the ailment passed

4 STRIKING OBJECT LESSON.

There Is g. great deal of sound phil osophy in the old saying that it takes more than one swallow to make Sum mer, so 1t takes more than one Incident in failure to prove that a given course in the conduct of business is a demon strated failure, Such failure, however, as has overtaken the street cleaning department in New York, which is government owned and conducted busI- ness undertaking, does shake ones con- ffdence more than ever in the princi- pie of government ownership.
 The fact that the city of New York conducted that department neither warded off strike nor made the set- clement of it easier. The same human influences were at work to provoke the strike and to delay the consideration of 1t as are invariably found when en- ployers and employees agree to disagree. The fact that the men in the street des partment went back to work pending the settlement of their claims was due to the tact of Mayor Mcclellan and the realization on the part of the men that the health of the city was threatened. There was no inherent virtue in gov- ernment ownership which came to the aid of the situation, nor would there be under any circumstances unless the power was conferred upon the courts to investigate questions at issue and compel obedience to their decisions. which, as the Waterbury American says, is ''something which few Americans, with the American love of individual liberty, would not regard as a worse alternative than even private monop- oly,"
 Government ownership has pleasing sound to the ears but in practice it rarely gives the results predicted for it, Civilization still demands that to the victor in an industrial enterprise shall go the prize and it will continue to do so for some time yet in spite of well meaning dreamers.

NOT REALLY NEoEssARY.

Perhaps the good old hymn Safely through another week" will be sung next Sunday with uncommon feeling. Many are felicitating themselves this morning because they got safely through yesterday Some are not able to do 1t. On July last year 15S per- sons in the United States were killed outright or fatally hurt and 5,SOS were injured. seventy-flve persons died of tetanus, or lockjaw And the record of yesterday when 1t is made up will probably not be much more encourag- ing.
 Who would be free themselves must strike the blow" True enough, and our noble ancestors struck the blow that made themselves and us free. But there doesn't seem to be any real ne- cessity for so conducting the celebra- tion of our freedom that the "casual- ties" are as many each Glorious Fourth as they were in a good-sized battle for freedom. We don't really honor our battling ancestors by making fires, wounds and death on the Fourth, and we don't do ourselves any good by the performance. So, when we be- come intelligent enough why not stop 1t? And why not hurry little to be- come intelligent enough.

TEXAS WATER.

The Houston Post, which Is always extremely moderate and modest in de- scribing the resources" of Texas. says that the water of the Texas melons, if accumulated in a large reservoir and then turned loose on Connecticut, would drown everybody in the Nutmeg State.
 Oh no, Connecticut is used to Texas water and knows how to deal with it.. It has managed to survive the water iii the stocks of the railroads of Texas, and the water of the melons of Texas wouldn't trouble it. It would set that water at work turning wheels and things to make goods to sell to the peo- pie of Texas who are too busy telling about their resources to do much man. ufacturing. Bnt why should the Hous- ton Post even think of trying to wa ter Connecticut? There are large spots in it's own State which need water bad ly. Why not charitably begin watering at home?

GRATEFUL, BUT UNSA TESTIFIED ?

Awhile ago Brother Bryan announced that this country had treated him very well Indeed, and that he was properly grateful to it. He didnt say that he couldn't stand more prosperity, or that he didn't want more. A curious intima- tion that he may want more is made by the Wilmington North Carolina) Messenger, which says: Hasn't Bryan made as much money and as great rep- utation out of his candidacy for the Presidency as did the man who dcfeat- ed him? If it Is money in his pocket and increased notoriety to be the can- didate, whether elected or defeated. why should he hesitate at accepting the nomination if it comes to him with as- surance of defeat? If Bryan, the third time defeated candidate for President, will be a bigger man than Bryan the twice defeated man. of course he will accept the nomination without regard to the possibility of election or certain ty of defeat.
 This can't be called exactly kind but the question arises, if anybody can make money out of Democracy as leglt- imately as Brother Bryan has why shouldn't he? It hasn't been possible to make anything else out of it, has it?

There was time in the history of this country when s7oO0OOO congress would have been thought pretty siza- ble affair. Now Connecticut, one of the smaller States, has $7,0oO,00o legisla- ture, the appropriations already made and recommended amounting to about that sum.
 Well, they say national debt Is @ good thing, and they also say that a human being will do better when spur red by debt than when financially calm and easy. So, if this reasoning Is right State debt will be good thing. But let us beware of having too much of a good thing, The other day the Hon. A. Heaton Robertson of thls city pro- claimed that the Republican party would bankrupt the State of Connecti- cut. This is a little pessimistlc Prob ably the Republican party will be sat isned with bankrupting the Democratic party and will not be eager to bankrupt Connecticut. still, 1t should be remem- bered that the road to bankruptcy is an easy one to travel, and that "ac- celerated velocity is apt to be acquir- ed on 1t before 1t is noticed.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
A Reflection on American Civilization.
Waterbury American )

(Waterbury American.)
 It is reflection on American civiliza- ton that so distinguished an American as Dr. Booker T. Washington should be unable to secure the lease of a sum- mer home in any town or vicinity where there is such home vacant, and where he desires to spend the summer. We suppose that in all New England , the persons of real standing socially and as citizens who would be unwilling to entertain Dr. Washington in their homes might be counted on the fingers of one hand The proposition is entire " different from one that might mean a general settlement of colored persons, however respectable, in a given quarter, Whether Justified or not, such settle ment would inevitably drive away white persons desirable in pecuniary sense, and injure the rental and selling value of real estate, whereabouts. But Dr. Washington does not contemplate start ing summer negro colony at any re- sort. He simply desires a summer homo for himself, and his personality Is such that it ought to add to, rather than de- tract from. the attraction of any neighborhood. AS we have said, 1t Is an imputation on our civilization that it is possible to shut him out from any sum mer home which he may desire to rent.
