Om undimmed brightness in all the homes of Californiz2 has been suddenly darkened by a korror so appalling as to affect the whole community fill all hearts with sympathetic sorrow for the stricken families. The dreadful train wreck at Byron is one of the most fearful railway accidents of late years, and its coming in the very midst of a time of general rejoicing and gladness makes it the more im- pressive and terrible. One ray of light illumines the gloom. All re- ports bear witness to the heroism displayed by the survivors of the wreck and to the fortitude with which the crushed, scalded and mangled”sufferers bore their and pain have been that of relieving others. i the Fresno Republican, who was on the wrecked train There was not one person who in his agony forgot that others were also suffering. One man called out that his son was crushed; another called ior haste, because ‘we’ are bleeding to death; but no one absolutely lost control of himseli. I did not see one selfish or cowardly act, nor hear one selfish word all night.” says: The giow of that heroism cheers the disaster by | ing nation and that is needed more frequently in the |lahoma as a State was, of course, to be expected. reminding us of the essential nobleness of the human heart in has once more proven himself equal to the calamities mortal life; and even those hearts that are now most stricken by the fearful death of the loved ones may find some ray of comfort in the krowledge that the shock, the suffering and the death were borne with 2 heroism that mitigated the pain and attested the supremacy of the undaunted soul. Concerning the question of personal responsibility | for the catastrophe The Call has nothing to say at this time. We have published the statements of all who had any relation to the accident, so that each has had fair 2rnd full opportunity to present his side to the public. The matter will be carefully investigated by the proper authorities, and it is nothing more than right that the public should abstain from passing iudgment in advance of a full inquiry. To do so would be.to run the risk of inflicting grave injustice upon + an innocent person, 2nd that risk no well-meaning man will take There 15, however, one phase of the subject upon which decided judgment may be passed at this time ir. the full assurance that nothing will be brought 1o jight by any future inquiry that will materially affect it. The two trains were running within a very short time of one another, and they were running at a high rate of speed. The “fiyer” in particular was being driven over the rails at a rate that made a prompt stop impossible, and was therefore running on the verge of a catastrophe 2lmost from the time it started. | Mr. J. A, Agler, manager of the Southern Pacific lines west of Ogden ar.d El Paso, is quoted as saying: “Passing the scene of the wreck both trains run very fast, probzbly fifty miies an hour. There is nothin; strange or unusual in trains running at that speed und only fifteen or seventeen minutes apart. Standard | rules in force on all the big roads of the country | sanction such practices.” } If that statement be correct, then it is a safe conclu- | sion that the roads of the country are taking danger- cus risks. It is all well enough to say that the speed | s safe enough if the trains keep fifteen minutes! zpart, but as a matter of fact it is not humanly pos- sible to keep them at that distance uniformly. One train is certain to gain somewhat on the other, and when one loses time there is a rush to make it up at | the first opportunity. Hence the incessant danger of‘ collision. That brakemen are expected to signal ap- proaching trains, and that locomotive drivers are ex- pected to keep a lookout ahead, does not help the matter | The most alert men alive have moments | when they are mot vigilant, and then if train sched- ules have ygen arranged on risky terms there are sure 1o be accidents. The railroad officials in this case, and in every case for that matter, have been prompt to carry relief and | belp to the injured. Everything that the ministration | of human science, skill and tenderness can do for the sufferers has been done. It would be better, how- ever, if the roads would exercise as much care to prevent accidents as they now exercise to relieve the resulte of accidents. Our railways are, of course, | tempted by the rushing impatience of American | cnergy to do everything in their power to make speed. It is their duty, however, not to yield too far 560 | powerless.

It must be shown that enforcement of the Monroe doctrine is consistent with international obligations, or it must fall. As Great Britain and Germany cannot unseat the sovereignty nor alienate the territory of Venezuela, it will be seen that they stop short of the power to enforce demands for indemnity of their subjects. They can overpower Venczuela by arms, but they cannot touch her sovereignty. She may repeal her revenue laws and leave them with no means to collect indem- nity. Ii they could take territory, as Germany did from France and Austria from Italy, and Italy again | from Austria, they would have no difiiculty in bring- ' ing Venezuela to terms, but the Monroe doctrine for- bids that last resort, and they will find themselves to enforce the Monroe doctrine, has also the responsi- ! bility of seeing to it that that doctrine is not made | the protector of injustice by Latin-America toward | the nationals of other countries. i When the armed punishment of Castro is complete | the United States the responsibility | which goes with this nation’s power to enforce the | Monroe doctrine. Instead of that doctrine being | made the shelter of injustice to the nationals of other | countries, domiciled in Latin-America, it must be {made by the United States the instrument of their protection. After the victory of Great Britain and Germany there should be arbitration, and if its award he against Venezuela the United States must be re- sponsible for its enforcement. In logic and law power and responsibility must be equal. Therefore we are responsible to the world for international justice in }Lalinu\mcru‘.l. since we have and use the power to | prevent its enforcement by the destruction of sover- | eignty and alienation of teritory. We should not hesitate to assume and discharge that responsibility. free hand in this hemisphere. must accept | = 3 The Monroe doctrine leaves us a We can discharge our responsibility to the world for international justice by destroying any sovereignty and alienating any territory we please in Latin-America. In an arbitra- tion Venezuela must promise us to discharge all obli- gations she may incur. If she subsequently refuse we o not assume her obligations, but we can and | must compel her to meet them. Otherwise the Mon- | roe doctrine is a bandit bond bestowed by us upon | the other nations of our hemisphere in the nature of | letters of marque and reprisal, empowering them to prey unrestricted upon the nationals of Europe, who will be without remedy and with no right to appeal to their own country for redress. Such a system would mean retrogression and its establishment would be insufferable. The Monroe doctrine shall lead this hemisphere to light and not | to darkness. We cannot object to war made upon Venezuela by the two great nations who deserve the loyalty of their | people by adequately defending their rights, wherever | | they are. It is a policy that becomes any self-respect- iL'ni(ed States. But such war must not be permitted in times when fate has done her worst. Man|to throttle an American sovereignty nor alienate = change of that kind. Men develop an attachment American territory. Itsis evident that this is well understood by Great Britain and Germany. Mr. Sew- ard made Great Britain and France understand it in the case of Maximilian's imperial venture in Mexico. We will not recede 2n inch nor will we permit any Latin-American country to use our position to pro- tect outrages upon other nationals. The timid ones in this country who fear that we may have war with Great Britain and Germany do not reflect that it would be a war of this hemisphere 2gainst those two nations struggle. There will be no such struggle. But we will see to it that Latin-America is disabused of the mmpression that the Monroe doctrine protects piracy. All Hawaii must be waiting with suspended activ- ity in anticipation of the coming of the Pacific cable. For nearly two weeks we haven’t received even the suggestion of a scandal in the affairs of the island Territory S have abcut overloaded the big universities with money and the country with libraries, David Bispham suggests in the current number of the North American Review that it will be well for some of them to make a new departure and do something for music. He argues that music is one of the most important factors of national culture, and that as yet it has been largely overlooked by the public and by A UNIVERSITY OF MUSIC. INCE the mumnificent millionatres of the East | those who are wealthy enough to be its patrons. For the purpose of promoting the study of music Mr. Bispham advises the establishment of a “univer- sity of music” on a grand scale. The university, he says, should have affiliations with all music schools now existing a2mong us and should seck to extend its influence throughout the country by searching out persons of musical talent and encouraging their ef- forts. He would also have the university import mu- sicians of high ability, so that we might have the ben- efit of the best of the Old World as well as of our own genius. Concerning the work of the university he grows enthusiastic and opens up a wide field. There should be maintained, he says, a staff of singers and instru- mentalists who might tour the country and perform music of various times and countrics. He adds: “From the Gregorian chant to the compositions of | Palestrina, and the masses of Beethoven; from the lays of troubadours and minnesingers to the art songs of Germany; from the operas of Handel to those of Wagner, every phase of vocal art would be traversed. From the lyre to the harpsichord and the piano, from the viol to the string quartet, from ‘the instrument of ten strings’ to the modern orchestra, the growth of music would be clearly demonstrated, its permanerfe as one of the most lofty, though most evanescent, of the liberal arts would be assured, the influence of the charlatan would be kept within bounds, and even the least attentive class of the population, unconsciously to themselves, attracted, cultivated, raised from the sordid 2ffairs of the moment, soothed, cheered, en- nobled and inspired with fresh courage to face the problem of life.” 4 Surely that has a sweet and winning sound.

In addition to the general problem of fusion there | are several serious questions of property to be consid- ered in the matter. An Indian correspondent of the | Boston Transcript, in reviewing the situation, asks: | “What shall be done with the valuable coal and | asphalt deposits now held and leased by the ‘tribes | acting as commercial organizations? What embargo | shall be laid on the sale of the lands when they are | transferred to the individual owners? How are the school and taxation systems to be rearranged to serve both Indians and whites to best advantage? Sup- ! posing the Indian Territory and Oklahoma to be | included in one Territory, how are the peculiar needs | of those nations who still live in the old fullblood | style to be met? And where is the seat of territorial | government to be established? Will the imposition {of a territorial government at the present time result 3 in forcing these tribes toward United States citizen- | ship too fast, and result, as the President has wisely | warned, in preventing their going forward at all?” i Compared with the mightier problems of the time the quesfions involved in'the settlement of Indian Territory are minor matters. Nevertheless, Congress should not be too hasty in dealing with them. The East in its growing jealousy of the West would like to limit the number of States west of the Mississippi as far as it can, and therefore favors the fusion of the two Territories. It is quite probable, however, that the interests of each would be better served by main- taining their separate existence. e ———— Under the theory that it is wise to make the pun- ishment fit the crime it might be well for the good people of San Rafael to scorch the firebugs of the town in one of the fires of their own making.

After mature con- sideration it was determined that it was unnecessary to send the Cuban treaty to the Houee, notwithstanding the fact that it affected revenues of the Government. Precedents were looked up carefully. It was found that previous reciprocity trea- ties had been sent directly to the Senate for ratification. This was notably true of the Newfoundland treaty, which Is regarded as being similar to the Cuban treaty. No objection ever was raised to the consideration by the Senate alone of that treaty. It can be said to be the purpose of the President, when the Cuban treaty shall have been ratified by the Senate, to send a mesgage to both branches of Cougress with a recommendation for such enabling legislation as will make the treatly op- crative. This will afford the House full opportunity, it is expected, to stamp with its approval and its individuality the negotlations for reciprocity with Cuba. PERSONAL MENTION. A. P.
