SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.
Nearly fifty years have passed since
Martin Van Buien delivered his once
famous remark, "the sober second
thought of the American citizen is al
ways correct," and time has intensified
rather than weakened the force of the
pithy sentence. The political solons
who fondly believe that their wisdom
guides and their action secures the
prosperity of the country, might view
matters in a very different light if they
could see that congressional halls are
merely the forum from which the
pleadings issue to that supreme jury
box, the intelligent attention of the
people. The day has long since gone
by when silver-tongued orators could
permanently influence the people in
a directien contrary to their own
thought. Newspapers and statesmen
now acquire and retain influence by
clerity in discovering and heartiness
in following the public sentiment
The successful leader among the
modern nations is he who has the keen
est intuitive perception of the meas
11 ice r.lmr will nnmmand the sutinort of
his people. Washington, Jackson,
and Lincoln, in our own land, and
3 mot, Bismarck, Victor Hugo, and
Gladstone in Europe, are notable ex
amples of this.
Just now it is not inappropriate to
invite attention to the fact thai no
legislative or party policy can be per
manently successful that does not
carry with it "the sober second thought
of the American people," and no state
or sectional sentiment can organize or
sustain measures that have not received
such approval. Protecting the south-
irn sngar-planter and destroying the
northern wool-srrower: exnendinsr mil-
lions to irrigate the desert lauds of
a , x u
sparsely settled states, but refusing a
dollar of ajd to an impoverished ship
ping trade with foreign ports, are
measures to which the American peo
ple are giving earnest scrutiny and in
due timewill express the opinion that
hober second thought will dictate.
CREDIT. .
The curse of business is credit, when
it is abused by the recipient. And
confidence once destroyed is seldom if
ever restored. No thorough business
man will risk his goods in places where
Avnurionro Iims raiicrlit him flint it is
unsafe to do so; and it is judgement
sound to decline all overtures that in
volve only worry and anxiety, with
the chances largely in the majority of
losing the account in the end.
It is no wonder, then that commer
cial agencies and protective unions
are necessary in guarding commercial
interests. The guardianship of prop
erty has become a very much greater
science than the sale of it, and the
problem with prudent business houses
js, not how much can be sold, but
what can be made to bring a sum
quivalent
While there are many who keep
.1. . l'i S 1 .1
ineir crsuit gooa y promptly paying
their account when due, there are
some who at the last moment ask for
extensions, or more still, take the ex
tension without asking, necessitating a
reminder from the dealer who has
kindly favored them with the use of
bis capital. When a number of the
latter class unexpectedly precipitate
themselves upon the house accommo
dating them with an agreed term of
credit, embarrassment follows, and
necessity alone compels the adoption
of rigid measures for collection.
No house, no matter what its capi
tal, can successfully transact business
with a loose system of credit. A ledg
er full of easy and careless buyers will
in time swamp any concern. The
woods are full of good fellows who
really intend to pay, but fail to do it.
goods supplied to such patrons can be
renewed on. the same kind of currency,
viz: promises, the inevitable result of
this style of trade will be commercial

ANOTHER TRAIN WRECK.
Another train wreck has occurred on
the east side, this time near Halsey,
Linn county.- The Albany Democrat,
of Tuesday evening, contains the fol
lowing concerning it:
"Last night's overland train was going
south about two miles this side of Halsey,
opposite the farm of W. R. Power, at a
speed of about thirty miles au hour, when
a cow appeared on the track, standing
broadside. It was raining hard and the
light was dim, so that the animal was not
seen until the train was almost on her.
The engineer, John McFadden. immediate
ly whistled down breaks. The cow catcher
struck the cow in the middle, throwing her
to the headlight, from which she bounded
again to the track, raising the engine from
the wheels and throwing it from the track.
This was given by Mr. McFadden to a
Democrat man. The engine run across a
ditch to an adjoining fence, the tender
mashing the engine's cab off, breaking
several stopcocks, which sent forth their
deadly elements on to the fireman and en
gineer. The tender was completely tipped
over. A fruit car following, was mashed
to pieces and stopped on the opposite side
of the engine; the mail car was twisted
sideways on the track, but remained up
right, the agent,' Mr. Cox, just closing the
windows in time to prevent a deluge of hot
water and steam from the engine. The
baggage car and two Pullman cars jumped
the track, the remaining standing on the
rails. The fireman, William Ransom, was
found between the engine and tender car.
dead, being scalded in a frightful manner,
and one leg was broken and badly raashud.
The engineer was thrown out of the cab to
the ground, and was insensible for some
time but soon "came to. Oue leg and a
hand were sodded, and he was somewhat
bruised, but not dangerously injured. The
passengers stated that the accident was so
sudden and unexpected that it was all over
before they were aware of its serious nature.
As the cars ran some distance the shock
was not great. Conductor Young imme
diately sent for wrecking trains and by
noon to-day the track was in condition for
the passage of trains. The engineer and
the body of Ransom were brought to this
city on a special train. William Ransom,
the deceased fireman, was a man about
thirty years of age; his parents residing in
the east, and having no relatives in Oregon.
He was engaged to a young lady of Eugene
and was to be married on the 16th of this
month. Mr. Ransom succeeded Quint
Guthrie, killed at the train wreck at this
city, and the engine was the same one
wrecked here, a fact without any signi
ficance except to superstitious people."
