The telegraph yesterday brought the in
that the Coroner's jury, sitting
to determine the responsibility for the
death of the men recently killed in the Bull
Domingo mine, at Silver Cliff, Colorado
have found the superintendent. Foss, guilty
of criminal negligence. Dan. Farringer, a
w%ell-known mining man., who held Tor a
season the position of chief engineer OF the
Bull Domingo, promptly placed the re-
sponsibilty for the fire on Foss. Farrlnger
said: ''This man Foss is no more COM
petent to direct the affairs OF a big mine
like the Bull Domingo than l am qual'fed
to steer an ocean steamship-and l never
aboard one. He is q wagonmaker by
trade, and, failing to secure empIoymentat
his regular business, accepted the positloh
of time-keeper at the Bull Domingo. l was
running the engine at the mine when ny
some u~naccountable means he secured the
superintendency, and as soon as l learned
of his unwarranted promotion l predicted
trouble. l was no false prophet. 1t wasnot
very long before I learned that ne mace
enemies OF most of the miners, who knew
their business and knew that ne DID not
know his. The machinery OF the mine was
in bad condition, and I pointed it out TO
him, but I only got snubbed for my 1ntor-
nation. The shaft was SO badly caved In
some places that the buckets were ire
quently stuck but he paid no attention
to it.. He let US get along as well as we
could, although he knew that human lie
was constantly endangered by the condl-
ton of the machinery and OF the shaft.
Well, I stood the racket as long as any
could who has to carr his living and
has q little regard for his life. l never
made a really vigorous kick until ne be-
gan to utilize the engine room as a store
housed for giant powder, and then protested
fiercely, but it was OF no avail. He con
tinued to %jeopardize my life, and at last l
resolved to quit work" Foss has made
his c from the country, and it is prob
ably a good thing Tor him that he did SO,
the people Of Silver Cliff are not feeling
very kindly toward him. and they might
deal with him in q very summary manner.

This gives the Republicans a clear work
ing majority until 1887, but it is then that
the value of the deal which the Democrats
OF Oregon made with Mitchell will become
apparent. It happens, however, that in
the elections by which one-third of the
Senate changes every two years, 16 out of
the 25 Senators who retire on March 3,
1887, are Republicans, and the Democrats
will, with Mitchell, tie the Senate, if

The love OF country and the patriotic de-
votion to the free institutions created
mainly by them form the secret Of their
submission to the great National crime
which unseated their candidate and placed
his ~fraudulency, Rutherford B. Hayes, in
the White House. Their loved standard
bearer, Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, in the con-
test, together with all other far-seeing
statesmen who had the welfare of their
country and the interest of the Democratic
party at heart, advised submission, be-
cause they were sufficiently wise and patri-
otto to know that a resort to force at that
critical period would have imperilled the
existence of the Government. This act
alone is sufficient not only to perpetuate
the Democratic party until the necessity
for such organizations cease, butt to immor-
talize the name of Samuel J. Tilden. The
u%nprincipled men who conceived, and the
party whose machinery carried that vile
fraud into execution, have met their de-
serts. Those among them holding exalted
public places at that time, who basely and
unscrupulously played parts in planning
and perfecting that scheme, have fallen
from their proud positions and disappeared
into obscurity, and the party that upheld
and aided them in their nefarious machina-
tions has lost it's prestige and will never
again rally as a National organization,
The Democracy, upon the other hand, have
increased in strength and become 80 firmly
implanted in the hearts Of the people as to
dispel all doubts of their triumphant sue
cess in all future National contests. As
the country has always prospered under
Democratic administrations, and the
sells of statesmen imbued with the same
principles, there is every reason to believe
that 81 long as the grand old party re-
mains In possession Of the Government
America will continue to increase in power.
