Fatal Blasting.

A few days ago we called attention to the
carelessness Of persons engaged in blasting
in crowded neighborhoods. man has Just
died of injuries received from reckless blast
ing, and the Coroner's jury yesterday rem
dered verdict censuring the foreman for
neglecting to take the necessary precautions
against accidents before setting off the blast.
The foreman, John CELEBRITY, was held in
FIVE hundred dollars bail to await the action
Of the Grand Jury. 1t is time that an exam
pie was made Of those who are responsible
for this criminal disregard of the public
safety. Nearly every day blasts are fred
which are sufficient in force to shake the
houses in the vicinity, to shatter the win
dows and to throw large pieces Of rock in
every direction, to the peril of life The
contractors who undertake the work of
blasting are generally to blame for making
the blasts too heavy. There ought to be
some restriction by law on the amount of
powder used in each blast, and any neglect
or disregard Of the law should be severely
punished. 1t would be easy to ascertain
how much force could be safely used. The
contractors would then be compelled to
make greater number of drillings, and
this is the only inconvenience that would
result from very necessary precaution de-
mande for the public safety

The virginAa Convention.

The great struggle which has been going
on in Richmond for some days ended yes
terday by the nomination of Colonel F. M.
Holiday, which was accomplished by the
support of the Malone men, who with
drew their candidate and voted for Holli-
day. The HERALD correspondent declares
this victory for the men who desire an hon.
est payment Of the debt. Colonel Holiday
is, it seems, for economy and solvency !"
and the platform demands ''the maintenance
of the honor and credit of the State" We
congratulate the Virginia democrats on
this. We suppose there will be an indie
pendent or opposition ticket.
A resolution approving of the Presidents
policy was offered, and we'll received; but
the Convention was in haste to adjourn and
did not adopt it.

The Rumorsd Bat.i. In Bulgaria.

The humored battle La buigorins
Our dispatches from Constantinople deny
the report received yesterday that another
great battle at Plevna was fought on Thurs
day. 1t is explicitly declared that no news
of such fight had been received at the
Turkish capital by persons who could not
have been kept in ignorance if there
had been a fight; therefore we must
accept the contradiction. But it is COM
mon device of those who have been beaten
to ignore the occurrence of the battle in
which they were unfortunate, and it may
be well to hear what is said on the other
side. II there has not been a battle it is
tolerably certain that there will be one. In
addition to the military reasons which make
it almost imperative the Russians should
carry Plevna there are now moral
reasons. They must exhibit their tenacity
and their capabllity on the very field on
which in two unfortunate collisions they
have appeared in light not ut all favorable
to their prestige They must make haste
to win great battle lest the Turks should
offer them peace on their own terms-for
they could not, under the shadow of such
defeats as they have had, afford to accept
the offer

Political Rim Van winkles.

The twenty-five or thirty Ohio republi-
cans who have so far failed to get Office
under the new administration have lost their
patience and have pronounced against the
Presidents Southern policy. They do not
go quite as far as the Etna republicans IN
Maine, who declared the President ga traitor
to his party, his country and his God" but
they follow pretty closely, denouncing the
Southern policy rs ''false in principle, con-
trary to the constitution and dangerous to
the liberties of the people"
About two years after the close of the war
half dozen gaunt men in Confederate gray
appeared in Virginia village and eagerly
inquired how the war was getting on. They
had been hidden in the woods. We do
not know in what backwoods these Ohio
Rip Van Wrinkles have been concealed. but
somebody in Columbus ought to tell them
that tho war is over. II is pity to see men
torn with anxiety about question which Is

Elaine cannot revive.

One of the victims of the railroad disaster
OF Thursday at Oceanport. N. j., is dead,
and at least one other is expected to die.
The whole story, therefore, comes for investi-
cation before the Coroner. The section OF
country over which Coroner Gugel has juris-
diction is indebted Tor its prosperity to the
great summer tide Of pleasure and health
seekers. They have raised real estate to
fancy prices, have formed q market for
the farm products of the county, and
one way with another keep the in
habitants Of that part Of New Jersey in
comfort, even when winter cold has left
the villas, parks, camps, boarding houses
ard great hotels bare Of guests. Therefore
it closely concerns the bread and butter of
the inhabitants of the region to see that
justice is done in this matter to the unfor-
tunate representatives Of the thousands who
go there yearly to spend their money with q
free hand. We say this much because it too
often happens that a railroad corporation
has ways and means of throwing dust
into the eyes of officials in cases
like this and thus many coro-
ner's inquest that started out with
a. flourish of trumpets has played
dinsisuendo until it collapsed in a verdict
with sound no louder than o tin whistle.
Let this be no tin whistle inquest. If the
Jerseymen have common sense they will
turn deaf ear to the arguments of the rail-
road men, who already are pooh pooling
the calamity and talking of their Liberal
ity" in running so many trains q day purely
to oblige the public-saye the mark A
rigid inquiry into the disaster is demanded.
The conditions under which trains in New
Jersey are run that render such disasters
possible should be fully set forth. The re-
sponsibility for this calamity should be
fixed, and then the jury and the citizens
should unite in demanding q law compel
ling every train to come to stop before
crossing q drawbridge.

RAPID TRANsT.-There was one thing which
particularly impressed Senator Conlling while
in London-namely, her system of cheap and
rapid transit by which all parts of the city are
brought into almost immediate communication
and passengc and freight transferred from one
point to another with the utmost CELEBRITY. Said
Mr.. Conkling last night, by sunken tracks and
elevated tracks, by sunken roads and over
ground roads, all parts Of her immense area
may be reached quickly and cheaply by people
and freight, and reached by steam. Here is
London's one great possession And here is
New Yorks one great deprivation. The difficult
ties in our way slight when compared with
those she has overcome. Mr.. Conkling feels n
keen pride in the metropolis, and in so pointedly
calling attention to its one great need he has
rendered most important service

Tn. electoral Campaign in France

The Electoral Campaign in France.
Apparently the determination of the De
Broglie Ministry is ''to burn the ships" to
initiate that act of Cortez by which he made
it impossible that there should be any hope
whatever for any OF his followers save in his
success II it were the intention to render
it impossible that Marshal MacMahon
should ever in any contingency be able to
make his peace with the republicans
the government could scarcely pursue
course more likely to lead to that
result In its use of the various repressive
devices it is more extreme than the imperial
power was in its worst days. Not only is
the press relentlessly pursued for the ex-
preston of opinions unpnlatable to those in
authority, but every pitiful Jack in Office
eommends himself to his superiors by
the superserviceable spirit in which
he listens at corners and keyholes
and initiates the prosecution of indi-
viduals for words spoken in their
private conversations. One paper is prose-
cuted for the printing Of statements that the
authorities dislike, another is prosecuted
for the fact that it fails to print specified
piece of news and while public function
aries manifest an abnormal delicacy as to
the fair fame of their favorites and stand
ready to prosecute any application of an
adjective in which there is a shade of disre-
spect. an official journal, published under the
direct sanction ofthe government, boldly and
uncompromisingl declares of the hundreds
of thousands Of upright and eminent
Frenchmen who hold republican opinions
that they are scoundrels, cutthroats and
enemies of society. All this is intended to
prevent the possibility of retreat. The men
who inspire these tactics perceive the i'm
minent probability that large republican
majority may control the new Chamber and
that their great game may at last end in
compromise, Cancellation and Ministry so
happily constituted as to be satisfactory to
the President and not absolutely repugnant
to the republicans, so wisely determined in
these days not to push their advantages to
extremity. If the De Broglie party cannot
republicans absolutely impossible, that is
likely to be the end Of the story but if
they can day by day widen this chasm, then
the return of republican majority will be
the signal for the use of force, and the
Chamber will not be permitted to assemble !;
if it does its history will be cut short in the
usual vay.

that there il no truth in the rumors of a

This is a satisfactory assurance. There is

roads but unless they intend to violate the
rules of the Brotherhood and break up that
organization, they will not act without d
previous consultation with the General Com
mittee.
