Thh: disaster on Ike river yesterday a full account o -which, appears in crar local nd telegraphic columns, exem plifies tke necessity o constant vigi lance to avoid deadly accidents, and as in many otker occurrences, it may be said tkat it is fortunate it -was no worse. Tkero is always tke unknown factor of danger iu transit by land or bea. and tk9 province of all concerned is to use tke utmost care tkat tke dan ger may be reduced to a minimum Blame after an occurrence is of little use: tke idea is to enforce responsi bility and exact tke utmost care on tke part of all in ckarge of vessels, steam or sail. Will in a Few days Place upon the Market the BEAUTIFUL ADDITIONS, 1 his Beau if ul Tract joins the- City upon the cast and will be in direct connection w.th the ELECTRIC 3I0T0R LINE -ASD- 3Tm L OOOEL, jMCazxctgor, The city of Watertown, Wisconsin, presents tke unique example of a city witkout a city government. Some years ago, in a fit of tkougktlc33 gen-, erosity, tke city voted a large amount of bonds as a bonus to an incoming railroad, an amount so large tkat it tkreatened to bankrupt tko municipal ity if paid. To avoid paying tke obli gations tke city officials, except tkose of a minor degree, resigned and left tke corporation in an acepkalous con dition. Now tke officials are elected annually, meet in secret, vote tke ap propriation necessary to keep tke municipal mackine greased, trans act wkatever business is neces sary, band in tkeir resignations, and once more tke street commissioner, or some one of about tke same degree, is in ckarge. Tke railroad kas tried in vain to find an officer on wkom to serve a summons. Detectives kave been in tko city koping to surprise tke secret council meeting, but tke inter ests of tke people are so united as to prevent a successful coup of tkat sort In fact, instances kave been known wken tke meeting -was being keld in an upper room of a business block wkile tke emissaries of tke railroad armed witk formidable legal docu ments, were watckf ully patrolling tke sidewalk below. "A public office is a public trust" seems to be directly "apropos to tke situation. Here are some railroad bonds tkat our Englisk cousins might invest in after buying up all tke obligations of tke late Con federacy. . A QTTAKEK'S DOZEN. Sfchan' Stege, the well known proprietor o! the Quaker Dairy, No. SO Ellis St., San Fran tisco, last week sent the following letter to Iho Edwin 17. J07 Co.
