THE EASTLAND TRAGEDY.

The tragedy in the narrow confines Of
the Chicago river at Chicago on satur-
day when steamer turned on its side
and killed thousand persons is Of such
magnitude as to stun the entire country;
and on recovering from the shock Of the
news the people make an insistent de-
mand that most rigid investigation be
made to place the responsibility for the
disaster. That so many lives should
have been lost is not easily understood;
that such an accident should have been
possible is even more of a mystery.
There must be criminal responsibility
somewhere; and while no punishment
can make amends for the terrible toll of
human life il can serve as distinct
warning to those in charge of like sit
uations Therefore, no effort should be
left undone that might serve to bring
out that warning.

the efforts of officials to minimize anc
smooth over these untoward develop
ments are intended to cloak the investi
cations that may be going on secretly
and, in consequence, the public should
not be unduly stirred up by the appar-
emit apathy; but if those investigations
are not being made by the officials of the
navy department it is outrageous heed
lessness on the part of those who are in
charge of the vital interests of the Amer
lean government and who alone are ex-
pected TO protect those vital interests.
II does not seem likely that series of
mysterious outcroppings of evil like those
that have befallen the United States
navy in the last few weeks will be al.
lowed TO go unchallenged.
