llailroad Dintrrs nnd the Methods of
Avoiding Them.
Thb press of tbe country is very generally
discussing tbe recent terrible railroad disaster
Whloh occurred at Angola, N. Y with a view
to suggesting such improvements in our pre
sent systom of cars, engines, etc., as shall
prevent the recurrence of similar calamities in
the future. The suggestions made cover a
Wide field, and serve to show how very defec
tive and imperfect many of our present
arrangements are. Some of the improve
ments proposed relate to the construction and
arrangement of car-wheels, bo that the fracture
of a single one shall not Insufficient to throw
the oars from their track; others relate to the
matter of brakes, so as to give the engi
neer full and prompt control of his train
without dependence upon the move
ments of brakesmen ; others again
relate to the construction of strong parapets to
bridges, so that the running off of a train, or
of a car, should be impossible; still others
relate to the material and construction of cars,
so as to guard against that most appalling of
all dangers the liability to burning up in the
ca.se of an accident involving the partial de
molition of a car. We think this last is the
most practical of all the reforms urged. No
amount of oare in the construction of roads and
rolling stock, or in the running of trains, can
do away with the liability of cars to run off of
the track. It is one of those contingencies
which oannot be avoided. The breaking of
rails or of wheels when- under the influence of
frost will continue to happen, and will always
be attended with the liability to throw oars
from the track, and sometimes down declivities
and embankments where - the destruction of
the car is inevitable. Here the true policy is
to guard as much as possible against the re
sulting dangers, and of these, as our cars are
at present constructed, the most appalling is
that of fire. Where a car is thrown down an
embankment, as in this case at Angola, striking
end foremost, the effect is to preoipitate the
passengers, seats, broken woodwork, and
stoves, all into one mass at the end of the car.
Almost instant combustion is the result. In
th examination before the Coroner concerning
the Angola disaster, one witness testified that
he reached the car from his house in less than
half a minute from the time it plunged
down the embankment, and saw the coals
of fire from the stove scattered all over
the car. The terrible destruction of human
life in this case was due clearly to the pre
sence of the stoves. Some were doubtless
killed and many wounded by the tremendous
concussion of the car as it plunged to the
bottom of the bridge, but the greater number
of deaths was occasioned by the conflagration
which instantly swept through the debris of
the wrecked car. . And as regards stoves,
while their presence in a car at all is to be re
prehended, yet if they are to be there, they
ought to be arranged with special reference to
guarding against the perils of fire in cases of
accident. The stove doors should be securely
locked, and the stoves themselves securely
strapped to the sides and floor of the oar,
So that their detachment - would be
next to impossible. A safe method
Would be to obtain heat from furnaces
located beneath the car, as is customary on
some roads. In case of the break-up of a oar
thus arranged, there would be but little lia
bility of the ooals of fire being being soattered
immediately amoi ri the passengers. - Bat the
trne reform is to discard all these methols of
heating, and to resort to steam pipes passing
from oar to car. This would accomplish the
desired result much more perfectly, and would
avoid the dangers of fire altogether. The
method of heating cars by stoves is most un
philosophical and unsatisfactory. The floors
are always cold, while the upper part of the
cars is nnoomfortably hot. Indeed, as between
the present method of heating with stoves,
and doing without them altogether, trusting
to extra clothing for warmth, we believe that
the comfort of passengers would be oonsulted
by the latter.
The frequency of railroad acoidents, and the
appalling loss of life they are - occasioning,
must result in turning the attention of legis
lative bodies to the matter, unless the mana
gers of railroads shall themselves seek out
and apply the proper remedies. The risks
of railroad travelling are large enough at the
best, but the public has a right to demand
that those risks shall be made as few and slight
as possible.
Fenianism Irrepressible.
Femanism seems to be farther than ever from
being suppressed in Great Britain. Instead
of being confined to Ireland the disease has
spread to England, where its chief manifesta
tions are just now being "made. The London
Times announces that no less than thirty thou
sand special constables have been sworn in
and are now serving in Loudon alone. Arrests,
trials, convictions, and executions appear
only to add fuel to the flames. Instead of
open and organized resistance to the Govern
ment, the hostility of the Fenians has taken
to exhibiting itself in such ouM forms as the
blowing-up of prison walls, the sending of
letters filled with explosive powder to promi
nent officials, and the like. Unfortunately
the injuries done by these novel methods of
THE DAILY EYEK ING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SA.TPRDA.Y, DECEMBER 28, 18C7.
warfare have mainly been inflicted upon Inno
cent parties, as in the late explosion at Clerk
enwell, where but little damage was done to
the prison, while a block of dwellings for the
poor near by was entirely demolished, and
some sixty persons killed and wounded.
As is natural, these transactions are occa
sioning great excitement throughout Gret
Britain. The fact of the calling out of thirty
thousand special constables in London shows
the extent of the alarm in that part of Eng
land. It is a condition of quasi civil war.
This Fenian question is assuming such im
portance that British statesmanship must
divine some method of solving it. It can no
longer be ignored or postponed. If it do not
eventuate in immediate and open civil war, it
places Great Britain at the mercy of her ene
mies, for at the first outbreak of a foreign war
the Fenian demonstrations would assume a
most menacing shape. Something must be
done to pacify Ireland. The wrongs of oentu
ries are clamoring for redress, if not for ven
geance. It is not to be expected that the
Government of Great Britain will consent to
the ind- j,endenre of Ireland, but it must do jus
tice by her, or a convulsion which will shake
the empire to its foundations is only a question
of time.
The Necessity of Freedom in Legisla
tlve Debate.
Tub recent extension of the motion for the
previous question in the House of Representa
tives, is cause of sincere regret to all thinking
men. It will be noticed by the readers of the
papers, that in the Congressional reports we
seldom if ever see any account of a speech in
the lower House on the passage of an impor
tant resolution. We see that a certain gentle
man introduced the measure, made a short
speech, and at the conclusion he "moved the
previous question." The resolution was then
either passed or defeated, with no further
investigation of its merits than the address of
the mover. This fashion of imposing a "gag
law" is no new invention of any political
party, but was conceived years ago and car
ried into active operation in the days of An
drew Jackson. But it has grown with the
progress of the nation. Whenever either
political party secures a decided asoen
dancy, it resorts to it to cut off the de
bate of the opposition and secure party
legislation. There can be no doubt that
its origin is due to a desire to prevent dilatory
and faotious opposition to measures, and to do
away with the power, which was vested under
Parliamentary law in an obstinate minority,
to delay, if not ultimately defeat, any mea
sure which might be really required for the
public good. But it has outgrown its useful
ness. It has degenerated, so that it is too fre
quently used to defeat all frank and necessary
debate, rather than to check the "jerryman
dering" of factious opponents. The remedy
is now worse than the evil, and the days of
spirited and intelligent discussion of a public
measure seem to have died with the parties of
the last generation. Where would be the
reputation of Clay, Calhoun, and Webster, if
the rule had been enforced against them J
What chance would oratory have to lay its
eloquence before the audience if it was liable
at any moment to be out short by a blow from
the Speaker's gavel f What force would be
exercised by the most convincing logio if the
speaker was limited to seven or eight minutes,
as the will of the mover of the resolution dic
tated? The more the evil of this system
is examined, the more loudly will it call
for reform. The various representatives are
sent to the National capital not to merely vote
on a measure, but to confer together and dis
cuss its merits and defects. If the casting of
a vote was all that was required, we might
have a lot of proxies who would do the duty
cheaply and quite as efficiently. It is desired
that these members, selected for their peculiar
qualifications, should act after being informed
by the wisdom of each other. But where is
there any opportunity for such an end if the
previous question is to continue to rule ? What
opportunity for a well-posted speaker to in
struct his fellow-members ? It may be that
there is in the House some member who is
peculiarly versed in the working of a certain
proposition, he may have made it a special
study, yet when the question comes up he has
no chance to tell those who do not possess his
knowldge of the objections to the proposed
law. It is passed. A grand mistake is made,
which could have been prevented had the
spirit of free debate not been legally violated.
This evil has grown now to suoh an extent
that a repeal, or at least a modification, of the
rule is imperatively demanded. A committee
to investigate a proposed law is excellent, and
its reference is proper, but the committee is
not the House of Representatives. It does
not represent or speak for all the people,
and it is fitting that the merits should be dis
cussed at large in the House. We are heartily
glad that the Senate has never recognized any
such rule. There exists in that body no suoh
thing as a previous question. There is no end
to the debate on an important issue until all
that desire have spoken. By this means the
only really satisfactory result possible is
reached. The concurrent opinion of the mem
bers decides the question. Yet we do not find
any unnecessary delay arising therefrom, and
even if there did, it were better to submit to
the boredom of a stupid speeoh than
remove from the House one of its
distinctive characteristics. We therefore
favor the repeal of the present rule,
and the Bubntitution in its place of one that
will prevent inordinate debate, but will not
act as a gag law. Thus, for instance, the
previous question should not be moved on the
same day on which a motion comes up for con
sideration, that is to say, allow a day to the
debate on any important topic. This is little
enough, and would be a great improvement
on the present law, where five minutes is
somutunes given as a matter of graoe, and
that, too, as though a concession was being
asked and allowed. The right of free speech
is guaranteed to every private citizen, yet
how much more important that it should be
saoredly preserved to publio servants I We
hope this matter will receive the early atten
tion of the House. It is a measure which will
t enefit not only the dominant, but also the
opposition party, and prevent all dangerous
and crude legislation in our beloved nation.

UPHALVS FRESH MEAT CURL
PREPARED A('(ORDIl TO THK FOR.
MULA OF rBOFFWOB TROUftSEAU,
OF PARIS.
The new plan of treating pulmonary dis
eases with Fresh Meat is creating a profound
sensation in Europe. Ita beneficial results
have been heralded through the press in both
hemispheres. The Fresh Meat Treatment was
first tried in Russia by Dr. Weisse. The re
sults were no less gratifying than surprising.
Consumptive cases, in his hands, which had
previous! baffled the most skilled of the pro
fession, yielded rapidly, as by charm, under
the new treatment. But it is to Frofessor
Trousseau, of Faris, that the world is chiefly
indebted for making known to the afflicted the
great feature of the Fresh Meat Cure. It is
positively asserted that "in no less than TWO
THOUSAND CASES in which it has been tried,
it proved successful in NEARLY ALL." The
Fresh Meat Cure is now first offered to the
American Fublio as a Proprietary Remedy. It
is put np in the form of a Syrup, each bottle
containing the nutritious properties of one and
a half pounds of Raw Meat. It is pleasant to
the taste, and a single bottle of the medicine
will convince the most skeptical of its virtue
as the great healing remedy of the nineteenth
century.
Testwiokiai, from the President of tub Berks
County Medical Society.
"Consumption has been for centuries con
sidered as incurable by the medical faculty,
and more especially that feature of it called
Tuberculous Consumption. In a practice of
nearly fort y years 1 never cured but one case, and
that was a Miss Trostel, then about seventeen
years of age, residing about ten miles from
this city. !
"A member of my own family, and the dear
est of all, became affected with this deadly
malady, and, as 1 may well be judged, every
thing that scienoe, experience, and affection
could do were called into requisition without
avail, when, by the merest accident, a paper
was placed in my hands which covered the
whole subject. I at once observed that it cor
responded with a life-long opinion of my own
that consumption cannot be cured by any
agent or combination of agents of the materia
medica, except by mere chance, as it happened
in my case, as above stated. I at once sent to
Philadelphia for the remedy, and on opening
my office, on Monday morning, I found the
Howard Express before my door with the
jarticle required. I immediately administered
'Upham's Fresh Meat Cure,' a3 ordered,
when, to my astonishment, she found conside
rable relief the very first day. This was on the
28th of October last. She has continued ita
use ever since, and, as if by a charm, she is
daily and geometrically improving in health. The
truth is, her relatives and the whole neighbor
hood are astnnished'at the effects of this valuable
remedy. Anthony A. McDoNouon, M. D.,

A CASE OF BRONCHITIS CURED.
Philadelphia, May 20, 1807.
S. C. Upham Sir: My wife has had the
Bronchitis with a violent cough of several
weeks' standing. At last she could not speak
above a whisper.- I purchased a bottle of
"Upham's Fbesh Meat Cube," and she com
menced using it according to directions. After
taking the first dose her cough was better, and
after four or Jive doses she was cured of her cough
and soreness, and her speech was restored. - I will
always keep a bottle of the "Meat Cube" in
my house, for I am satisfied that all that is
neceEsary to oonvince any one of its merits is
to make a trial of it, and I cheerfully recom
mend it to all whose condition demands any
thing of this nature. I want some of your
circulars to send to my friends in New York
and Boston. Joseph J. Rivers,

CONSUMPTION POSITIVELY CURED.
UPHAM'S FRESH MEAT CURE, for CON

Physicians all over the oountry, and is per
