The rapidity with which grain traf fic and commercial conditions change la Illustrated the present grain situ ation. Ten years ago the managements of roads east of Chicago laughed at the suggestion that the time would er come when the seaboard ports and the seaboard lines would have to fight for a fair proportion of the ex port traffic in grain and grain pro ducts. Today the eastern roads are fighting a desperate battle to secure and retain one half of the grain ton nage originating west of the Mississ ippi river. As the center of produc tion moves farther and farther west the struggle for this tonnage is bound to grow sharper, and the time has apparently already come when the eastern roads must relinquish their supremacy in the grain traffic. Having admitted that they were la sane In 1S96 and in 1900, the Demo crats practically join in the chorus of rejoicing that their candidate was not successful in those years. o The Democrats demand a proeecu tlon of the unlawful trusts, and show how to do it by pointing to the trail already blazed by a Republican At torney General under a Republican administration. o Having denounced the adoption of the gold standard as the crime of the century the Democratic party now comes in and asks the privilege of being adjudged guilty as an accessory after the fact o Mr. Beauchamp stated an absolute fact when he said that if the member ship of the average church was pos sessed of more genuine religious sen timent, there would be less need of giving ice cream socials to maintain that religious organization. o The Republican platform for 1904 was the logical result of a consistent record of fifty years of enlightened thought.

And yet in the face of this situa tion we find the party in power afraid really to take hold of the questions of labor. Tell me what president has ever been brave enough to enforce the law against a labor union viola tor? It was a Democratic President." It is natural, perhaps, that Captain Hobson, educated to the profession of arms, should sympathize with the quick and ruthless employment of force as a solvent of the labor prob lem, but it ls remarkable that his praise of Cleveland for invading sovereign State, despite the protest of its Governor, in order to aid capi tal against labor, should be applaud ed by a national gathering of Demo crats. The Publishers' Press News Assoclaton says: "Hobson was loudly cheered when he said It was a Democratic President who alone had been brave enough to enforce the laws against labor unions." The one feature of President Roose-1 velt's administration which most de serves the approval of men of heart, judgment and patriotism was his set tlement of the coal strike by consul tation, conciliation and arbitration. That act shines out nobly in contrast with Cleveland's military raid into Chicago against the railroad strikers. A feat for which he won the lasting gratitude of every trust in the coun- In charity It must be supposed that the St. Louis convention did not bear exactly what Captain Hobson was say ing. As for that heroic young man himself, it is to be regretted that he abandoned the fighter's trade. He Is out of place in civil life, and particu larly as spokesman for Democrats.

Each of the disasters Illustrates the risk that has come with those Inven tions that have so enormously facili tated travel; all are deplorable to the last degree, and no doubt they will exert a considerable Influence for the season upon the plans of many people who suffered no loss from them. But the great .volume of travel will hardly be affected. The chances of harm are too small; the feeling of se curity is too well fixed to be profound ly disturbed. A great majority of the thousands of railroad passengers who read the news of the Wabash wreck upon the cars were probably not dis turbed In the least a, to their personal safety. If the excursion traffic should be sensibly checked, summer tours will be carried out and business trips will be taken as though there were no risk at all. As well expect some minor street car accident to keep people from patronizing the usual means of travel in cities. It Is, in fact. Impossible to conceive of a steamboat or railroad accident in which the number of fatalities, with all the increased facilities for travel, would directly concern any consider able portion of the population, while the effect on the imagination is wholly inadequate to overturn established us age that is approved by experience. But where so much ls at stake the de mand upon human ingenuity, pru dence, vigilance and loyalty to duty ls at a maximum. That this was not met in the case of the Slocum is obvious, and if happily there was not a similar laxity in the other two cases tbey also put their tragic emphasis upon the trust that is reposed in the trans portation companies. To properly dls-' charge it requires both a high order of ability and the most conscientious devotion to a very exacting business. And the very eagerness of the public to avail itself of the accommodations that are offered adds to the responsi bility and to the need of reducing the risks by the perfection of the system of management, the introduction of all manner of safety appliances, and the employment of the best procur able human agents. 1 5nart Effete Swt" M (Mir buyer m now in Nrw York and within a frw wrrku we will have on display the mnnrtrnt and mom complete Iiiih of.N'oveltirs in I.ailitV Wear ever ihou iu thi city.
