Szvaxos Mtn;rny immortalized his
name as a confirmed crack by objeotiug
to Hon. Oliver Mows,' oceupving a seat
on the floor of the Senate chamber at
Albany recently, Because some chum
of his own was not permitted to have a
seat on the floor of the senate Mr. M r-
pby insisted that no such privilege should
be extended to the premier of Ontario.
Some of the Yanks. allow how little they
know by this boorishness and uncalled
for incivility. The American press is
raking Mr. Murphy over the coals.
VERY close attentiot• has and is paid

Evaur time a railway accident ocourrs
there are columns of articles written 10
the newspapers and a united cry goes up
against the use of stoves in passenger
coaches. lint although this has been
the case for years not a thing has been
done to put this death trap out of use.
Only last Sandar, from 10 to 20 persons
were, as far as we ern understand, roast-
ed alive, in fact cremated so that the
authorities only can guess the number of
the alai,. A railway accident is bad
enough at any time but to have it turned
in a firy furnace before im opportunity
is granted to release the passengers is
something terrible to imagine. We think
some legislation should bo planed on the
