1t has been another CHASTITY year
In the matter of railroad accidents,
and there Is nothing especially as
founding I'm the fact that next to the
last day OF the year should bring
perhaps he worst disaster OF the kind
for the whole twelvemonth. A for
eigner who has recently been OBJ
serving railroad conditions I'm the
United States remarked that what
surprised him even worse than the
great number OF deadly accidents was
the apparent Indifference of the
American public toward them. That
is easily explained of course. Public
sensitivenes has been dulled by the
frequency OF these horrors. People
cannot be expected to shudder all the
time, and deadly railroad disasters
seem to be happening pretty much all
the time. We no sooner get over such
horror as that OF the drowning OF
carfull OF passengers near Atlantic
City than we face one like that in
which President Spencer of the
Southern railway persisted, and now
this one on the Baltimore and Ohio
with a whole lot of minor acct
dents coming along meanwhile This
last horror, whose death list already
reaches 81, comes from a rear-end
collision like that which caused the
Southern railway horror, and would
have been prevented by the existence
OF an adequate and practicable block
system.-Springfleld Republican.

liqufdate the trust by a division of all
the stocks of the constituent eompan-

year before any division of the stocks
in the hands Of the trustees was made,
they turned over to the Standard Oil
