rather than the bad, at whatever present
sacrifice ofpersonal interests. We be.
lieve that the differences between the
Democratic party and the opposition are
so great, and the balance so evitably in
favor Of the former, that it is not only
necessary to state them fully and fairly
to he people to have them reject the
one AMI adopt the other. In short, we
believe that an administration of the
government by the Abolition party for
any considerable length of time means
nothing more than the death of our re.
public, and that the Democratic party is
the only one now existing whose princi-
pies are in accordance with the Consti.
tuition and the theories upon which the
government rests.
Holding these opinions, our duty is
plain, and it becomes us to follow it,
We should use every means ia our pow
er for thorough dissemination of our
principles, in order that every voter may
have an opportunity of knowing and
Judging the merits Of oui principles and
policy. Believing that the people are
intelligent enough to judge between the
two parties, the contrast should be fairly
and fully drawn, and kept constantly be-
fore them As a means to this end, the
Democracy should most thoroughly or.
ganize in every township, and know
every voter, his views and feelings.
Every effort should be made to increase
and extend the circulation of Democrat
ic newspapers and particularly the
county papers. Documents wherein are
discussed the issues between the parties
should he obtained and placed in the
hands of every man who does not un.
derstand public questions, because the
intelligence of the people is the only Sc.
ourity of free government.
The first step, and what is most need
ed at present., is the thorough organiza.
tion of the Democrats of each township
in the county, so that all may work 20
gether and each have his proper place
of duty assignen. 1t is an old saying
and true one that "Everybody's bust.
ness is nobody's business" and this was
never more fully illustrated than in the
recent campaign. Now, there are
enough men in each township of the
county who are able to start such an or
eanization and get it in perfect working
order. The country demands this OF
them, and they cannot refuse the cal
without imperiling her institutions. We
can obtain complete victory in this
State at the election. 1t rests with the
members of the Democratic party to de.
eide whether we shall have it or not
The sketch We have given of our duties
will serve as basis to commence work
and we will endeavor in future numbers
to more fully discuss these important
questions.

Singular Boiler explosion
Three Men Killed.

RAHWAG, N. D., Oct. 2l.-ln the
small settlement known as Blazing Star,
about five miles from this place, the
boiler Of John A. Steinhauser's estab.
lishment for preparing phosphate Of
lime exploded, about five o'clock Tues
day afternoon, with such terrible effect
that the building, a frame, one hundred
feet square, was entirely wrecked, and
the tubular boiler, 143 by 16 feet, hurl-
ed to distance of four hundred yards
from the place and one hundred feet
high, when it struck the earth, throwing
up the dirt to great height, and then
rebounded eighty five feet further A
number of men were in the building,
and three of them who stood near the
boiler were killed, two of them instantly,
but the third lived until the following
morning.
The names of the killed were A. F.
Beyse, Superintendent, a resident of the
vicinity; j. Master, boiler maker, Of
New York, and j. Broush. fireman, Of
Williamsburg. Beyse's clothes were
torn completely from his body, and
Broush's skull was crused to atoms, rem.
dering it probably that neither of the
two unfortunate men was conscious OF
the least suffering Master did not be.
lieve he was seriously hurt, and the fol.
lowing morning was walking about,
when he complained of a difficulty of
breathing. His respiration grew shor.
ter and shorter for two or three hours,
when he expired.
The accident is ascribed to the defec-
tive steaI-guage, which was purchased
in New York. Mr.. Beyse had no idea
of the quantity of steam in the boiler
(and he was an experienced engineer,
having been in one of our gunboats, and
on the Otsego at the time of her de-
struction by torpedo,) and therefore
anticipated no danger, supposing the
guage would indicate the pressure upon
the boiler. All of the killed were men
of family. Mr.. Steinhauser has gener-
ously offered to pro7ide, we understand,
for the widow and children of the Su-
perintendent.
A strange circumstance connected
with the casualty, is that Beyse seemed
to have premonition of his fate When
he was in New York last Monday, with
Steinhauser, he said he felt strong dis.
position to have his life insured, and,
returning home, asked his wife where
she would have him buried in the event
of his being killed, saying he felt as if
something were about to happen him.
The boiler had one hundred and sixty.
three tubes, which were thrown one
hundred feet apart; and this fact, with
the tremendous force of the explosion,
indicates that there must have been at
least one hundred and fifty pounds Of
steam to the square inch.

that Montgomery Blair told the truth
