LISTENING to the street corner,
or back-room, talk of an ordinary
greenback democrat, one would
be led to believe that the entire
Democratic party was committed to
that theory. Thus believing, you
would be deceived. The greenback
army is an insignificant body, and is
confined principally to Ohio and In
/ diana, and by no means general in its
scope in those States. The hard
money democrats are found in every
crowd. But how is it elsewhere?
That democratic thunderer, the New
York World, answers in the following
extract, and leaves no hope for the
greenbacker:
GAIL New England now stands
shoulder to shoulder with New York,
Illinois, Wisconsin, and Texas, upon
the sound Democratic platform of
hard money, free trade, and home
rule.
Does anybody propose to win the
Presidential election upon platform
unacceptable to and imperiling
Democratic ascendency in these great
States?
Does anybody propose to win the
Presidential election by carrying
Pennsylvania and Ohio with the rag
money platform upon which the mis-
guided Democracy of those States
took their stand and their defeat,
last fall?
Does anybody propose to sacrifice
the certainty of victory by combi-
nation of victorious Democratic
States, for the sake of an uncertain
ty of victory by a combination of
States pever carried in Presiden-
tial election against the Republican
party, and now lost again upon a
rag-money platform?
Yes. The corruptionists and rag
money brawlers of the Cincinnati
Enquirer propose this programme of
party treason and political faulty.
Their success in betraying the Ma
tional Democracy to overwhelming
defeat in every Presidential election
since and including that of 1864 en-
courages them to assume the role of
advisers for the election of 1875.
1t is for the Democracy of the Un-
ion to choose victory or defeat. Ohio
is gone over to the Republican party,
hook, line, bob and sinker, and will
stay there SO long as the corruption
lists of the Enquirer are dominant
in the councils of the party in that
State. Its advice has been thrice ia
ken, its policy thrice adopted, and st
every trial has failed.
The policy of New York and Hi
nois-Hard Money, Free Trade and
Home Rule-won the great victories
of 1874. and needs only to be adopt
ed in st. Louis on the 9th of June,
to win the Presidential election of
1876.

THE Rutland correspondent of the
Middleport News saws:


Middleport News says:
Geo. w. Jackson who absconded
from this place little over a year
ago, and against whom there were at
the time so many attachments issued,
has written letter to his wife, stating
that he had started on an expedition
to the Black Hills; that the Indians
had attacked his party, killed all but
three or four; that he had lost all
he had, watch, clothing and money;
had froze his feet badly, and that if
his friends would send him one hun
dred and fifty dollars he would return
home. They at once sent him the
money. When he returns we will at
once chronicle the fact.

of the Rev. +. ; Best. No person can
doubt this testimony, as there is no
doubt about the curative power of VEG
ETINE.
NATIC, Mass, Jan lst, 1873.
MIR. III. X. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for re-
gar,ling your VEGErlNE a medicine of
the greatest value. We feel assured that
it has been the means of saving our sons
life. lie Is now seventeen years of age !;
for the last two years he has suffered
from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrof-
ulous affection, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his
recovery impossible. A council of able
physicians could give us but the fiintest
hope of his ever rallying; two of the
number declaring that he was beyond
the reach of human remedies, that even
amputation could not save him, as he
had not vigOr enough to endure the ope-
ration. Just then we commenced giving
him VEGErINE and from that time to
the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed
studies, thrown away his crutches and
cane, and walks about cheerfully and
strong.
Though there is still some discharge
from the opening where his limb was
laneed, we have -the-tullsst confidence
that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles
of VEGETINE, but lately uses but little,
as he declares he is too well to be taking
medicine.
Respectfully yours.

Mrs. J.. e.. +. BEST.

Special efforts are being put forth,
especially in the Union Schools to
improve for the current month even
more. II parents will but cooperate,
we can make our schools compare
favorably with those of any other
town similarly circumstanced.
We wish parents would take spe-
cial pains to see the cards which their
children bring home every Monday,
and endeavor to understand them;
every child will feel the stimulus of
the parents oversight.

PROTECTION F0R MINERS.

The recent ssr,es Of cxlamitica a,
tbs Dayton mine suggests the advisa
bility Of protecting miners from any
unnecessary danger BY Legislative
enactment. Il will be remembered
how riimsoll Of the British Parlia.
msnt urged the necessity Of some
PROJECTION to those who SO to sea,
TIE protection he asked tor was that
shipa should be subjected to more
rigid examination as to their sea-
worthiness, in order that sailors
might not be inveigled anto q float
ing cofAn. The masters of those
ships, as he showed, were willing, in
consideration Of good salary and
the possibilities of promotion to bet
ter crafts, to risk voyage after voyage
in full knowledge of the ships de-
fecrs. The crew, numbering score
or more OF men, were generally una
ware of the risks they were taking
except by indefinite hearsay. 1t was
to protect the latter from dangers
that they could not foresee that Mr..
Plimsoll's labors were directed. He
succeeded after a hard struggle, and
has recently been presented with
golden cup by the masses of Shelf
field.
The relation Of the miners OF the
Comstock to the superintendent Is
closely allied to that of the shipmas-
tiers referred to and the crews. The
superinteAndents and foremeu take
the same chances with the miners in
case of . defective cable or an i'm
perfect cage. But the miners num-
Der several hundred, whereas those
in charge are at mast only q half
dozen or so. The latter have means
Of ascertaining the safety or unsafety
of all appliances, auu have the power
of remedy. The former have lin
tied opportunity of ascertaining de-
fscts in the machinery, and no
power to make correction. 1t is
therefore for their protection tina,
some Law should be passed. The Of
fee of Inspector o. Mining Machinery
should be created by the next legis-
lature, to apply a, leas, to the mines
of the Comstock. The office should
be elective, so tina, the miners might
choose, or have voice in choosing.
the guardian of their own safety. It
should be filed by competent en-
ginser and mschinis;, such as Mr.
Patsen Of Virginia. for instance,
whose duty it should be to inspect
each mine once in u quarter, say,
and grant certificates of safety or
withhold them, rs the case might
warrant. Any failure on the part of
companies to comply with the direc-
tons of the Inspector should be held
as criminal. The pay of the Inspect
or might come in the form of fees
from the companies. so that no cost
would be imposed upon taxpayers.
Such an Office would be a benefit As
well to mining companies as to min
ers, rs in cases like that OF the Day
ton, where there is charged the use
of defective cable, the blame, if
any, would rest with the Inspector.
and no damages could be collected
in consequence. The office would
correspond with that Of Boiler In
spector in other States and Harbor
Inspector in San Francisco. There
is surely n much need for it as for
these latter. We recommend these
considerations to miners, mining
superintendent and candidates for
the Legislature.

THE FAULTY CABLE.

| The recent accident at the Dayton
mine whereby w. +. Wilson lost hi,
life is still subject Of comment il
this community. Tho general i'm.
preston seems to be that the cable
which was purchased from the Saw.
age Company and the parting OF
which was the primary cause of one
fatality and the secondary cause OF
| another should never have been used.
| This feeling was excited and In
creased by the appearance in yester-
days Enterprise Of an interview with
the person in the employ of tue Saw
age Company as rope man at the
time of the purchase Of the cable by
n. c. Hall, then superintendent of
the Dayton. By this interview it APP
pears that the rope man was aware of
the defects in the cable and SO ex-
pressed himself to Mr.. Hall aud his
foreman, Mr.. Showers. The spices,
he said, were none of them less than
four feet long. If he had said that
none OF them were more than four
feet long his remark would be more
significant. Splices are never, we
are informed, less than ten feet long,
and they are generally sixteen, The
splice which pulled out and caused
the tragic death of Wilson was only
four feet long, We believe. I. there
fore comes with bad grace from
this rope man to cast reflection on
anyone connected with the Dayton
mine in his interviews with reporters.
since the faulty splice was made by
him or under his directions. \
spirit of Jealousy or envy often actu-
ates men to make statements in print
that they otherwise would not make.
Un,il the matter is fully re-investi-
gated by the Coruner's jury the pub
lie should hold this fact in mind.
The following is what Mr.. Schroeder,
the rope man, told The Enterprise
He said the cable was
made OF three or four old pieces
spliced together. Some of these
pieces were good and some were not
There were none Of the spices less
than four feet. II was not sold for
a good rope. II had been sp!icea
and fixed up for use in case Of an ac-
cident and until smother could he put
on. Jim Showers came and he un-
derstood that it was loaned To the
DAYTON for from one to two weeks
or ill they could get = new one
When II went away. he SAYS, he re-
marked 10 his comrade thar he hoped
it would never come back. He de-
MES that he ever said il was rs good
AS new, for he knew that some of it
was very poor rope, One of the best
pieces IS that which was left ON the
reel aud seen by the reporter.
