The explosions so tremendously loud
below were but muffled sounds at the
pits mouth; but alas! these muffled
sounds, and one flash of lurid flame
that shot up into the air, told the tale
of horror to every experienced pitman
and his wife. and the cry of awhole vii

The calamity spread like wild-fire. 1t

the deputy ran himself with the news
to Mr.. BARLEY. BARLEY received it at
first with stony glare, and tremble all

voice, said: "Sir, the worst of it is,
there is foul play in it. There is good
authority to say that Ben Burnley fired
the mine to destroy his betters, and he
has done it; for Mr.. Hope and Miss

voice: "And if they are not buried or

RESPECTING the new drama, "Denise," by
Dumas, and presented in New York city by
Clara Morris, the New York Sun has these
righteous words:
"Under ordinary circumstances such y
drama could be safely left to die after the
fashion of the release which nature vouch-
safes to her mistakes. In literature, as in life,
the unhealthy and the mishapen things rarely
survive, but the piece in question enjoys
an exceptional vitality for the
son that the principal character in
it is impersonated by woman of distinct
genius Clara Morris. This actress has the
power of imparting to a certain class of char
acters a morbid pathological interest which is
of singular effect with audiences; and any
drama which affords her an occasion for dis
playing the degree of disturbance of which
her emotions are capable is certain to prove a
paying attraction for the public. In Denise
Miss Morris has such an opportunity, and she
has accordingly for the past few weeks given
life and potency to one of the most obnox-
ious dramas that have disfgured our stage.
In it's material it is vle and in its treatment
it is stupid; and, while the manager, from his
point of view as a purveyor of all sorts of
stuff may have a dull and impartial nostril,
Miss Morris, out of respect to herself and the
public, should never have had anything to do
with it. It is disgrace to her and to the
stage it is produced on"

and to civilization. For the first time has an
efficient law been contrived and enacted
against this odious s'relic of barbarism," and
when the question of its enforcement was
mooted before the executive of the Nation, in
stead of the miserable deliverance brought
forth, the country was entitled to-expect, and
if awake to the situation and in harmony
with the national purpose on the subject, the
President would have been prompt to give, an
answer more like this: Gentlemen, the griev
ance of which you complain does not seem to
me, upon your own statement, to be one in
fact; it is certainly not one against which the
executive can promise relief 1t was a ques-
ton for the courts wheth err or not the law
should receive the Interpretation of which you
have spoken; and those regularly convicted of
violating its plain provisions cannot be per-
mitted to say that they are aggrieved because
the law has not been so construed as to in
clude other offenders. This is especially so in
this case. because, as is well known, the main,
If not only, purpose Of this enactment
was to put an end to polygamy, as practiced
among your people; and even if, under the
general terms of the law, other offenses might
be, which have been held by the courts not to
be, included it is no reason why the energy
of the law should be diverted from it's main
purpose; and that there may be no misunder
standing in respect to the intention of this
administration, in this respect, say to you,
gentlemen, in all kindness to you and to your
people, that | concur in the general sentiment
of the country in regarding polygamy as
wrong, stain upon our civilization, and as
subversive of good government and in
order that it may be given up and abolished,
it is my purpose to enforce this, and all laws
which may be enacted to that end, with the
utmost practicable efficiency Please so advise
your people, and persuade them to peaceful
and willing acquiescence

The information brought from the Penjdeh
valley by Condie Stephens, who came post
haste in answer to orders from the govern
ment, is valuable to certain classes Of citizens.
With delicate discrimination he avoided all
mention of the proximity of hostile forces;
the Eden of that valley had no serpent in its
midst it is "a lovely country, with splendid
pasture lands" The tax payers who are asked
for $50, 900, 900 will doubtless be delighted to
know that Gin springtime the ground is liter
ally carpeted with flowers Even DR.. Ritche-
son, the botanical expert, was delighted
and succeeded in making a valuable collection
of flowers. Better still, sthe valley abounds
in game" and the English people will be glad
to learn that the party killed $50 pheasants
daily. "The Murghab abounds in waterfowl,
and the hills are stocked with gazelle, ante
lope, wild sheep and pigs" By a strange
oversight, Mr.. Stephens omits tosay anything
about the fishing, nor anything of Sir
Peter Lumsden's luck at trolling for
bass or sharing suckers. The country
may be very pretty, and l5O or even 100
pheasants may be killed daily, but unless

in defiant violation of its requirements.
Scores Of saloons are open every night after
the hour prescribed for the stoppage of their
business. By their persistent and systematic
violation of law, and through the inevitable
effects of their traffic, they entail a
very onerous burden Of expense on
the public. Instead of bearing this ex
pense, as they should, and as they easily
could, they make desperate fight to avoid it.
Despite the warnings of saloon keepers in
other States where their arrogance has pro-
voked prohibitory laws, the liquor-sellers of
Indiana continue to show contempt for the
most reasonable laws, and steadily refuse to
pay reasonable tax upon their business.
There can be but one result to this impudent
and arrogant defiance of law. If persisted in
much longer, the people of Indiana, exhausted
of patience, will follow the example of other
States and try high license or prohibition,
neither Of which, we apprehend will be pleas

Indianapolis were provoked by the impudence
and immunity of the gamblers to form sort
of league to protect their sons from the dan
gerous influence of the vice which no law
and no force of mere legal repression can
wholly destroy, and to rid the town of a nui
sance and shame. They did not propose to
lynch lot of them, as the Vicksburg people
did a few years before, nor to proceed by any
method outside of the law. Their purpose,
like that of the Charlottesville league, was to
enforce the law by extra legal vigilance and
energy. There is no illegal practice main
tanned in any city in the civilized world that
can't be put down by existing laws, enforced
to their full capacity of repression. Every
brothel and gambling den in Indianapolis can
be smashed in month by turning the law in
full Roadway upon it. One half of the saloons
can be harassed into closing by the vigilance
that applies the law to every illegal or suspi-
generation determined to combine to give the
law fair chance. They appointed COM

Fletcher, James M. Ray, Nicholas McCarty,

tudinous legs" The gentlemen of the board
of green cloth did not wait to measure strength
with the committee. They came down at
once, like Captain SCOTS coon, and left for
such kindly localities as Louisville, where
bankers and merchants uphold gambling hells
as feeders of decent business. The only legal

the ground that the answers would tend to
criminate him, and was therefore committed
to jail for contempt, for SO refusing,
the District Court of Leavenworth granted
writ of habeas corpus, releasing the
prisoner. In effect, the opinion of the court
is that the power to call witnesses before the
county attorney, and commit them to prison
for disobedience of his subpoena or refusal
to answer, is the exercise of judicial authority,
and cannot be conferred under the Constitu-
ton of Kansas; further, that the tribunal at
tempted to be established is wholly partial, in
that it makes the county attorney judge
in case where he is largely inter-
ested, Offering him a bride largely in
excess of his usual salary for successful prose-
cution, and, in this respect, violates not only
the express language of the Constitution, but
every fundamental idea of the due administra
ton of justice. 1t is reported that the opinion
of the court is favorably regarded by the bar,
and its effect will be to practically render nu-
gatory the recently enacted statute, by which
it was hoped 20 enforce prohibition.
