TIE ERE HORROR

The tragedy Of Washington Place was
rot an Unforeseen and incalculable oc-
currence. We had been warned against
its inevitable coming time and again.
Chief Croker had prophesied il with the
assurance of expert knowledge. 1t was
not an "act of God" hut an act of man
an act the responsibility for, which is
50 widely spread and so intricately di-
vided that il may never he traced TO
any one single ultimate cause or person.
Such horrors come. stir us to the depths
OF our humanity. and pass in the hurry

Part of the blame. however small,

lack Of unwearying insistence upon the

NOT DEFINITE ENOTGH.

Discussing the uncertainties of the
orocess by W -ich amendments 10 the
federal Const ~ ion are adopted. our
yeighbor The New York sun agrees
with liz that III seems illogical and un-
"wise 10 permit state To reverse its
"verdict when il has once given u com
"pleted Judgment either in the negative
"or in the affirmative" But The sun
saws further. Yet there seems to have
sheen no question raised in the past as
'to the right Of state 10 reverse lis
sposition in respect Of an amendment.
This latter assertion is wide Of the
mark, as will he seen from an eX3mina
zion Of the record. Precedents have
been set by the action Of Congress. as
well as by the action Of the Secretary
pf State. denying the right Of state
which has once accepted an amendment
10 change its mind and permitting a
state which has refused consent 10 re
verse itself and take affirmative action.
When tho Fourteenth Amendment was
ratified both these questions were passed
or. Secretary Seward issued Il proc
Ismation on July 20. 1858. announcing
