from the New York Sun.
There are few men probably to whom
the coming of the new year was more
welcome than to the Hon. William Tray
ers Jerome. for whom it marked the close
of eight years of public service as district
attorney of this county. OF the perma-
nent value of these services to the people
of this community the present is mani
testify not the time to speak. Passion and
prejudice have done much to obscure &C.
curate public appraisal of the value OF
Mr.. Jerome's recent years. Already, how
ever, those for whose opinion Mr.. Je-
rome could rightly care have come to be
certain that in all his public acts he had
the approval Of his own conscience and
followed a course consistent with his own
conception of public duty. BY those for
whom expediency and personal interest
are controlling motives Mr. Jerome is
now and perhaps always will be held to
have missed great chance BY others
who view the great questions of his adj
ministration from position not his he
is and possibly may long be held to have
made grave mistakes: yet we believe
that he will at no distant time be recog-
nized generally as man who did what
he conceived to be his duty consistently,
bravely and with no regard for the effect
of his course upon that career which his
friends and his critics alike had prepared
for him

Rear-End Slaughter.

Yesterdays wreck the New York
Central, a road which is as well organized
as any in the country. adds emphasis TO
the demand for the adoption OF some form
az automatic check upon the human and
mechanical agencies now employed for
the protection OF life on the rail The
situation was somewhat similar to that
at North East. Pa. recently. A local train
was stalled and an express following was
held up in accordance with the resula-
tons In this condition a fast freight
ran into the prohibited block and crashed
into the rear Pullman of the expl esS,
XII ling one Of the most prominent imam
GERS of the country whose death may be
directly attributed to the criminal negli-
sence of some member of the railroad
companys establishment.
A brakeman of the express declares that
he went back the required distance, but
his assertion Is denied. He has been ar
rested The signalman in the tower TO
the rear asserts that he showed a pcohibi-
tive signal against the fast freight. This
statement is denied and he has also been
arrested The engineer and fireman of
the freight have asserted that they ran
into clear track at the signal tower
and saw no warning Trademarks light
Their statements are in conflict with those
of both the brakeman and the sgnalman
and they too have been arrested. Each of
the possible agents of the disaster, in
other words. is trying to clear himself
and cast the responsibility upon another
person. and it is now the task of the law
to ascertain which is guilty, difficult un-
dertaking at best in view of the confflci
o. interests and testimony.
There is slight consolation for the fami-
lies of the dead in these needless catas-
trophies i'll the assurance that the COM
pany has adopted the most perfect sys-
tenn known to railroading and that the
hand OF the law will be laid heavily upon

Muckrakers and Congress.

The letter received in Chicago purport-
ing to have been written by man with
the intention of blowing up the Lnited
States Senate with nitroglycerin may or
may not be hoax. A man with an IN
famous purpose does not often announce
1T. but let's the act speak for him stu.
it may be we'll for the authorities to IN
vastigate the matter. and if there Is such
a creature in existence try to nab him In
tine.
The sentiments expressed are those OF
victim of the muckrakers. Here is an
Individual who believes, simply because
ne has been told, that the Senate is
corrupt body, doing the bidding or corpo-
rate wealth rather than discharging It's
proper functions. He has no information
on the subject himself but. on the
strength of charges. whose authors ne
does not know has decided that the Sen
ate is public enemy and that It's mem
bers should be annihilated.
OF course, politics is not involved.
Nitroglycerin is no respecter OF persons
ar politicians. Exploded in the Senate
chamber, 1t would destroy everybody
within reach Democrats and republicans,
alleged trust agents and alleged trust
busters would fare alike.
The Senate has borne the brunt OF tne
undertaking campaign. Cannonlsm mas

ate with scorpions. Greed, and greco
agents, we have all been told, have found
their best opportunities in the upper
house of Congress- There legislation
has been twisted to suit private ends'
and the public baked of its dues Clean
ont the Senate has been the cry, though
nitroglycerin is now tor the first time
suggested as the means.
This cry may soon swell In Voiuihe'
undertaking is revivins. and .When Inc
Presidents special messages dealing Win
trust and transportation questions go IN,
all glasses will be turned on Congress.
and especially on the Senate, once more.
Charges are already in circulation that
the so-called interests are rallSing tor
the fray, and that the Senate is relied
upon to defeat the Presidents program.
Congress is not, and should not be,
immune from the closest observation, but
it should be immune from gross abuse
and Misrepresentation. 1t should not be
held I'D, as it has been for long time,
as a body under private control and
working to the prejudice of the country.
So persistently has this charge been
made and so widely circulated that
great many people, without means them
selves of investigation, have come to view
Congress, if not with condemnation, at
least with distrust. and readily swallow
every fresh yarn spun by sensationallsts
for sensational purposes. There should
be a limit to lying, even about Congress.
