the best obtainable ties embedded in
‘ two feet of broken stone has been
regarded by railway engineers as un-
equaled, and this combination of steel,
sound wood and broken stone has been
adopted by all the great trunk lines
under the supposition that nothing
better could be furnished.
The fatal accident on the Hudson
river on Sunday morning shows that
there may be a treacherous foundation
beneath this surface of broken stone,
wood and steel, and that it is quite as
i .iportant to the safety of life and prop-
u'ty that the groundwork upon which
the roadbed rests shall be solid as that
the surface shall be well constructed of
the best known materials. Whether
the accident at Garrisons was due to
V the power of tidal currents or to the
existence of quicksand in soil upon
which the roadbed rested is not defin-
itely settled, but the slide of the em-
bankment was certainly due to condi-
tions which should have been known
and provided against. S
The lesson of the accident is that a
solid surface does not of itself furnish a
safe roadbed over which heavy trains
bearing hundreds of passengers can be
run without danger. The foundations
must be solid as well as the surface to
secure absolute safety, and if railway
managers do not give closer attention
to this important feature of railway
construction, especially with regard to
roadbeds which skirt tidal rivers in
future, they will fail of doing their full
duty. The accident at Garrisons was
probably the first of its kind, and it
should certainly be the last.

‘A v‘ V
. The Flurry With Spain.
After more than two years of entirely
unsuccessful effort by Spain to suppress
the Cuban rebellion, with the sacrifice
of hundreds of millions of money and
not less than a hundred thousand lives
the Spanish Government seems to have
awakened to the fact that in attempt-
ing to conquer the Cuban insurgents it
bit ofi much more than it has been able
to chew, says the Philadelphia Times.
Spain now despairs of prosecuting
war successfully, and having blunder-
ed to the verge of self-destruction, she
be done in war or in peace.
If Spain then wants war she must
have, it, but she will accept war with
the United States only to enable her to
surrender Cuba and to confess her
madness by a treaty of peace wit-h the
United States involving the independ-
ence of Cuba. .The bluster of Spain is
simply the feeble blustcr of the whipped
bully, and must be met as such.

And now the question is, “Will we

If we were to stop and contemplate

The destruction of love letters that

blame for her own. follies and misfor-
tunes. Naturally, she tumbles to the
United States as a scapegoat to save
the government from revolution at
home. with indefinite rumors of seri-
ous diplomatic complications which
may possibly end in war.
The complaint of Spain against the
United States is entirely Without war-
rant. True, the people of the United
States, as a rule, sympathize with the
insurgents and that is nobody’s busi-
ness but their own; but their govern-
al law and has exhausted its powers to,

ience and cost.
With two thousand miles of coast and
week closed with wheat commanding a
dollar, and it may be accepted as rea-
sonably certain that the entire crop of
this country, one of the largest ever
produced, can be marketed very closely
around the dollar mark, and at times
above it. i
There is' no need for farmers to rush
their crops into market to escape a de-
cline. It is now well [understood
that all our surplus food. will find a
ready market abroad and that the de-
mand is so great as to maintain prices
steadily. There will be ups and downs
in the price of wheat, corn, etc., often
induced by speculators, but the farmer
who has produced the crop can take
his own time for marketing, feeling as-
sured that there will be no serious de-
cline in prices. '
' _lWhen it is remembered that our
wheat crop of this year is close to 600,-
000,000 bushels, and that our, corn crop
doubles the wheat, it is not difficult to,
calculate the measure of prosperity the
present high prices of farm products
must bring to the farmers throughout
the entire nation. It must be remem-
bered, too, that the-cotton crop of the
South is one of the largest ever pro-
duced, and that it is commanding close
to 7 cents per pound, with a largely in-
creased product of both wheat and
corn in that section of the country.
The increased value to the farmer of
the crops of this year over any of the
three years previous, must be fully
$400,000,000, and this year the farmers
themselves will reap the full measure
of the advanced prices. On last year’s
crop prices did not advance until a
very large proportion of the crops had
passed from the farmers into the hands
of speculators, but this year the farm-
ers are able to store their grain and
sell it when they deem best. As a rule,
they are not under the severe necessi- _
ties of one year ago which compelled
them to dispose of their crops at the
earliest period.
With these hundreds of millions of
dollars going into the hands of the far~
mers of the country, the backbone of
our industrial wealth, there must be an
early diffusion of money throughout all
industrial circles that cannot fail to
give very general prosperity. Farmers
do not hoard money; they expend
their surplus in the purchase of lands
ocean, it has been simply an impossibil-
ity for this government to prevent the
shipment of arms and munitions of war;
in protecting her own Cuban coast than
merce. Of all the many vessels which '
have sailed for Cuba during the last
more than two or three at the most,
and if Spain can’t protect her own Cu-
ban coast against such commerce, how
is she to expect us, with our immense
ocean and gulf coast, to halt the sail-
ing of vessels which violate the neu-
trality laws?
'- When this country was involved in
civil war Spain was one of the first to
recognize the insurgents as beligerents,
thus giving them the right to ship any-
thing from Spanish ports; that they
oould get into the Southern parts but
the United States protected her own
coast and thus hastened the end of the
rebellion.
Now Spainarrogantly complains of
the United States for not doing the
impossible, while she has been tenfold
more derelict in hindering the landing
of the clandestine expeditions which
have sailed from this country.
If Spain can’t protect the coast of
Cuba, how can she expect us to pro-
tect her against secret expeditions from
our two thousands miles of coast? The
whole army and navy of the United
States couldn’t prevent the departure of
vessels laden wtih arms and munitions
of war from the United States, and the
whole army and navy of Spain couldn’t
prevent them from landing.‘ It is sim-
ply child’s play for Spain to blame her
misfortune upon the United States.
l The Cuban war must end in the very
V near future, and if Spain doesn’t realize
it and act upon it, the United States
must. We could in a day give the in-
surgents belligerent rights, and much
more fully warranted than belligerent
rights were to the Confederates when .
Spain thus recognized them; and with
belligerent rights vessels could sail
from any port of this country with
arms and munitions for the Cuban army
