Need Of Fire Protection. The failure of the present fire sys: tem in Montreal, to ded] with great emergencies, was praven a ago. Again there is an agitation for the high pressure main systom. The inauguration of it, in a city like Mon- troal, would cost an enormous sam, and the thing is practically impos- sible. It would possible had the water departmont of the metropolis not been robbed of its profits and loft without the means to maintain its efficiency. Now large im- provements have to be deferred, be cause the people are loath to vote the 'sums they would cost. The lesson is obvigus in Kingston. It is that the rates now so low and reasonable are enough to pay for current expenses 'and add a certain amount annually to the rest or re storation account. The advantage of this is seen at a glance. There is need of a second water tower, which should be kept filled and through the agency of which the pressure could be maintained in the fire protection of the city absolute demands.

The Horrors Of Travel. 'Bearcely had the people of New York ' {recovered from one horror, following the collision of the steamer Larch- mont with a smiling vessel, and the dreadful loss of life which it entailed, than another horror was foreed upon them in the accident on the Harlem division of the New York Central rail- way, The train was a fast one, speeded as high as possible, and controlled and drawn by an electric engine, At a certain curve (made so that it could be rounded at the rate of sixty-five miles an h our), the train loft the rails. It did not leave the roadbed for a time, but swept along it at a speed to wreck the cars and make 8 | kindling wood of them. Eventually they came to a standstill, a mass of broken material, and in their debris were the mangled, remains of passen- gers. No ono escaped injury. Twenty: one dead were taken from the ruins. What caused the accident ? Half a dozen parties, representing the state, the railway company, and the legal department, are investigating. The copclusion in any case will be a mat- ter for conjecture. One thing is cer. tain--that the speed was too great to be safe, for some people like to go fast, to fly over the they will take any risk in order to gratify their ambition. The companies give the people what they want, but it is not death and disas- ter as they came on Saturday even- "ing. No train can cut around a curve at a speed of sixty-five miles an hour, without sooner or later being de- railed. It does not make any differ ence how the curve has been com- structed. No train can stand derail: ment without destruction--unless the cars are heavily built, and those on tho New York Central, drawn by the electric engines, are light in order not to impede the speed. The railway commission may wake up to the, duty which rests upon it, and if it does steel framed cars will be required on all express trains amd in the subway of New York, where tho law in this respect is being violated right along. Whether the railway commission or the railvay company do their duty or ignore it the people will learn from the accident, and one lesson is to take the slower trains and road, and railway ride in safety, .

A Political Euchre. | Ottawa Free Press. n Mr. Borden brought up the Hyman case once more in the com- mons, vesterday, he possibly thought that he had the game won in ad- vance, But when the cards were play- ed, he found that Sir Wilfrid held the joker. The manner in which the promier re- plied was a splendid illustration of political finesse.
