The Railroad Disaster.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-The Cor
oner to-day began the inquest over
the remains of the five bodies rec0v-
cred from the wreck yesterday. on
the Air Line Railway, at Broad Rip
pie. Three witnesses we're exam
ined and their testimony shows the
bridge was built of good material and
properly constructed. Workmen
were repairing the bridge and had
removed the permanent supporting
rods supplying their place with tenn
porary rods which, it is claimed, was
GOV d enough to hold the structure.
The bodies recovered were taken to
their late places of residence to-day
for burial. The body Of Parr, the
bridge foreman, has lot yet been re-
covered. Semans and Clarke, the
men seriously injured, are still alive,
but the latter's chances for recovery
are very slender.

THE WICKES BRANCH.

II IL not at all singular that the
MINER should favor the extension Of
the Wickes branch 10 Butte, or the
building of any other railroad to
, Butte. The MINER takes the ground
that too many roads cannot be built
to the city, and that the people would
not object If dozen roads conferred
here. They can stand the roads If
the roads can stand the building.
The intimation conveyed IN the
Inter Mountain that the MINERS
advocacy of the Wickes branch Is
influenced by interested parties is As
! ungenerous as it Is false. If our CO.
temporary really thinks what il
would have the public believe We
may possibly correct its false I'M
preston by stating, what it already
knows, that the MINER expressed
itself in favor Of the extension of the
Wickes branch to this city long be-
fore its business manager went to
Helena; that, furthermore, no one
interested in the Wickes branch, or
any other branch OF road. has had a
word with or written Il line to any
II connected with the MINER
concerning the enterprise. Wemight
retort by charging that the Inter
Mountains articles against the
Wickes branch are instigated by par
ties who have NO interest In that
paper. and who have only u selfish
interest to subserve. But such asser-
tons would he quite As foolish as
those preferred by our contemporary
against this journal.
We believe The business men Of
Butte are decidedly in favor of the
extension of the Wickes branch to
this city for the reasons already stat.
ed in these columns. There is an
immense mineral country between
WlckeS and Butte whose develop.
ment woul add largely to the traffic
of this place. Some Of the largest
bodies of ore Ia Montana may be
in the Boulder and Cataract
Districts. They only await railroad
facilities to start into existence score
of prosperous mining camps. Rutte
being the great mining center of the
Territory would naturally receive a
proportion OF their ores for re-
iuction and with those ores the trade
Of the camps on the line Of the
branch.

built here. it will probably be extend
I'll still farther. 1t may be continued

FRED. DOUGLASS MAR.
RAGE.

The severe criticism which Mr.
| Douglass receives from his own ract
for marrying a white woman Is moi
altogether undeserved. The colored
people in the East assert the man
could not be In his right mind to
commit such an act of folly-for folly
they contend 1t Is. 1t Is well known
it was always Douglass boast that
he was the champion Of the race. and
that he not only began his career by
marrying a woman of bis own color.
but while he had . black wife he
was accustomed to den0unce misce
yenation.
This was high and just ground to
take, and 1t did him honor. 1t Is u
fact too well established to admit of
controversy that mixed races are al
ways inferior to pure bloods, whether
white or black. Hence opposition
to such marriages as this of Douglass
Is not based on mere prejudice, but
has Its foundation in scientific prin-
ciples.
1t is evident that in his old age this
champion Of the African, this old
time denouncer Of mlscegenation,
this ma who has contended for the
rights, the advancement and the ~.
similation-not miscegenation-ofhis
with the whites in the various
pursuits, has lost his rea.
powers, and marries u white
woman simply because she Is white.
thus acknowledging by his act the
superiority Of the white race, which
it was the self-imposed task of his
life to denounce.
The colored people SEE the effect
his ill-assorted match will have upon
.hcm. They d%eprecate 1t ~ much
~ the whites do. They know full
we'll that Douglass WAS never AL able
,r great man in the true meaning Of
hose words, and that his princi-
pal, if not his only claim to consider
.tion. was his unseltish champion
hip Of his race. This claim he has
II a great degree destroyed by his ILL
escorted marriage, and the colored
recognize the fact. Hence
heir criticism and displeasure. As
The weman, society will take care
Il her. She sacrificed her future
to y mswkish, unhealthy
ointment, and the result will be she
will be A. utterly alone ~ though she
we're banished TO Al uninhabitahle
World.
